ZariRat_Grow • Grow Diary – Start of Growth Phase.
I'm starting this indoor grow with 1L pots and an 18/6 cycle (1:00 PM–7:00 AM).
Stable temperature between 24–26°C and high humidity controlled between 65–75% to promote seedling development.
I keep the light high for this phase (65-70 cm) with low-medium power (30–40%) to avoid stress or stretching. So far, the plants are compact, with short stems and no stretching.
•• Current Status ••
The Blueberry Cupcake, Zkittlez 2.0, and 1 Strawberry Banana already have several nodes and vigorous growth.
The other 3 Strawberry Banana are slower, with smaller seedlings and more gradual root development.
Nothing to worry about, they just germinated later.
The more advanced ones already show good green color and leaves forming quickly.
The smaller ones are still alive, producing their first true leaves and strengthening their roots.
• Watering
I'm watering very localized around the stem (about 100–150 ml) to avoid over-saturating the large pots and forcing the roots to colonize the substrate.
I let it dry well between waterings to avoid:
-slow growth
-lack of root oxygen
-yellowing
This adjustment has significantly improved the growth rate.
• Observations
I've seen:
white root hairs (good root development)
some slightly pale leaves on seedlings (normal for age)
no pests or serious deficiencies
Compact and healthy structure overall.
Gentle direct ventilation to strengthen stems.
• Plan for the Next Few Days
Maintain RH 65–70%
Continue small waterings
Start light fertilization only on more developed plants - 33Pro light (¼ dose)
Transplanting will be necessary when the small SB grow a bit, and things will get more serious.
For now, everything is going as expected. The grow is starting off on the right foot and without rush, as this phase is where the foundation for everything that comes next is built. We continue observing, making just the right adjustments, and letting the plants do their work. Next update when they start asking for more space and food.
Good smokes to everyone and happy growing!

ZariRat_Grow - Post-transplant adaptation week
• Transplant to final pot (11L)
This week we transplanted to 11-liter pots; some plants were starting to show a bit of yellowing in the lower leaves.
After the change, we noticed the usual: a little less turgidity. Nothing alarming, but you can tell they feel the change.
These days our priority hasn’t been for them to grow wildly, but to settle in well and develop strong roots before we ask more from them above.
• Watering
After the transplant, we did a deep watering, about 1.5 L per pot, letting it drain a bit to ensure the entire root ball was well hydrated.
- During the week:
We haven’t watered on a schedule.
We waited for the pot to lose weight before watering again.
We prefer the roots to seek out water and expand, rather than getting them used to it.
• Lighting
45% power
About 50–55 cm away
Measured with Photone: around 330 PPFD
For vegetative growth, we want to stay between 300 and 400 PPFD, so right now they are within range. No need for more.
• Nutrition
Just water.
- The idea is
To adapt to the new substrate
Not to overload the freshly transplanted roots
To see how they respond naturally
• Observations
New green and active shoots
Leaves recovering firmness
More vigor overall
Growth picking up a steady pace
The older lower leaves are still a bit yellow, but that’s to be expected after the transplant.
• Plan for the next few days
Perform topping
Start gentle fertilization - 33Pro gentle
It’s been a week of stability, not a spectacle.
We haven’t sought explosive growth, but a solid foundation:
Healthy roots
Well-controlled watering
Light in the correct range
No stress from fertilization
Right now we see them responding well and ready to keep growing with more stability in the coming days. And that, honestly, is what we care about.
Good vibes to everyone and happy growing, friends! 🌱💚

ZariRat_Grow - Balance Week
• Topping (First and Second Round)
We started by topping the most advanced plants. The idea was clear: break vertical growth and force horizontal development. Days later, we completed the topping on the remaining plants, leaving us with 9 worked plants. The response has been very good. In 48–72 hours, lateral activation and hormonal redistribution were already noticeable.
• Selective Light Defoliation
We removed between 2 and 4 large leaves from the most developed plants. It wasn't an aggressive pruning. After that, the structure hasn't been touched again.
• First Watering with Controlled Fertilization
We performed the first gentle feeding after transplanting and topping.
- Applied mix (half dose):
Growth and rooting from 33PRO
Silic Pro from 33PRO
CO₂ Pro LED from 33PRO
- Final parameters:
pH adjusted to 6.3–6.5.
Final EC below 0.9.
We decided to start with half a dose to avoid salt buildup and observe the plant's real response.
- The reaction has been positive:
Firm leaves.
Better turgor.
More defined edges.
No new burnt tips.
• Fine Climate Adjustment
-Day:
25–26°C
60–65% RH
-Night:
23–24°C
57–65% RH
The plants have started to show upright leaves and an active posture.
• Lighting
We keep the light at 50% power.
Distance to the canopy: approximately 45–50 cm. About 400 PPf approximately.
The more vigorous genetics have been placed in the back corners to control stretching.
•• Current Canopy Status
The Zkittlez have stopped dominating.
The Blueberry Cupcake maintains a compact structure.
The Strawberry Banana are gradually leveling out.
The canopy is starting to look uniform.
The grow has transitioned from vertical phase to horizontal structural phase.
•• Plan for Next Week
Do not touch the structure for 5–7 days.
Alternate watering with water / gentle feeding and gradually increase.
Maintain climate stability.
Now let's cross our fingers for everything to go well and wait. Happy growing and good smokes, friends 🌱💚

ZariRat_Grow - Week 4 🌱
🌡️ Environment
We have kept the climate quite stable throughout the week:
🌞 With light: 24–26 °C
🌙 Without light: 23–24 °C
💧 Humidity: stable at 55–65%
Currently, we are at a steady 25 °C and 60% RH.
We increased extraction and intake to 50%, about 250 m³ each.
💡 Lighting
Power at 60%.
PPFD measured with Photone:
~500 PPFD center
~400 PPFD sides
Average distance light-plants: between 35–45 cm (depending on the height of each plant).
We have been rotating:
Each plant on itself every 24 hours.
Changing position every 3 days (the tallest to the sides, the shortest to the center).
The difference between center and corner is about 100–150 PPFD approximately.
💧 Watering and nutrition
This week we did:
🔹 Strong cleaning watering
2.5 L per pot
pH 6.2
EC 0.8 (just base water, no fertilizer)
Drainage over 30% in some to eliminate excess salts and root stress.
We decided to do it this way to stabilize after noticing that one of the BC reacted poorly after a previous watering with fertilizer.
We water every 2–3 days for the hungrier ones and every 4 days for the less hungry and stressed ones.
In previous weeks we used growth base along with:
Silic Pro
CO₂ Pro
In the last few days, we chose not to add food in the last watering to reset the medium a bit.
✂️ Pruning and structure
We have done light and strategic pruning:
2–3 leaves per plant.
Removal of leaves blocking nodes.
Nothing aggressive.
The nodes are very close together, compact internodes, and thick stems.
📊 Status by groups
Currently, we have:
1 very strong BC (~30 cm).
1 plant over 26 cm (pruned).
4–5 plants over 17 cm.
1 plant at 23 cm that was affected at the roots.
3 younger ones growing well.
1 BC with a bit of stress and salt accumulation.
The canopy is quite homogeneous within reason for different phenotypes.
⚠️ The yellow BC
This is the plant that has required the most attention.
Symptoms it presented:
General lime green.
Yellowing on lower leaves.
Some burnt tips.
Slight wilting.
Lower leaves became crispy.
Slower growth than the rest.
The curious thing is that this plant has always been lighter since the beginning, even before transplanting.
After a watering with fertilizer, it slightly worsened, which is why we decided to do the watering only with water EC 0.8 and good drainage.
Currently:
It is not getting worse.
It has more than 6 active shoots.
New leaves come out light green and then darken.
Only the lowest ones are yellowing.
It’s slower, but structurally it is alive and working.
📈 Growth
Something important:
In height, they have hardly grown in the last week.
They have practically stayed the same.
But:
So many nodes.
Thick trunks.
Strong branching.
Compact structure.
🎯 Conclusion of the week
Stabilization week.
Stable climate.
Controlled light.
Adjusted watering.
Light pruning.
Observation of the problematic BC.
The crop is healthy overall.
Compact, structured, and with a lot of branching.
The slow BC is still under watch. 🌿👀
We will see the progress next week.
Cheers, buddies, and good vibes 🐭

ZariRat_Grow 🔥 SCROG Week
• We have installed the SCROG net at 40 cm.
🌱 Right now, the plants are showing different heights. The most vigorous ones are already close to 42 cm, while the smaller ones are around 30 cm.
So far, two plants have already crossed the net, and those are the first ones we have started to bend and guide. We are letting the shorter plants grow straight until they reach the net.
From above, the cabinet is starting to show something very promising: around 60% of the surface is covered in green, although many tips have not yet touched the net.
💡 The lighting remains stable with the LED bars working at 70% power, with an approximate distance of 30 cm from the tallest plant and about 45 cm from the shorter ones.
🌡️ The climate in the cabinet is quite stable with temperatures around 25 °C and humidity close to 60%. The ventilation system is working with an extractor and an intractor at about 250 m³/h, maintaining a slight negative pressure.
🌿 Regarding nutrition, this week we have been progressively increasing the feeding until reaching the maximum recommended by the manufacturer, placing the watering around 1.8 EC. The drainage remains close to 20%.
We always prepare the nutrient mix following the same order: silicon first, then calcium and magnesium, then the base growth fertilizer, and finally the CO₂ supplement, always adjusting the pH at the end.
⚠️ We are closely monitoring a BC that showed strong yellowing in old leaves last week. After watering with calcium and magnesium, the plant looks firmer and new growth is starting to come out healthier. The damaged leaves will not recover, but everything indicates that the plant is reacting and slowly getting back in sync with the rest of the crop.
• Right now, our daily routine consists of watering and observation, as each plant eats in a different way.
We continue to build the canopy with love.
Cheers, fellow growers, and good vibes 🐭💚

ZariRat_Grow - 🔥🌿 SCROG Week 🌿🔥
This week has been crucial for stabilizing the grow and continuing to build a uniform canopy 💪🌱. We’ve kept the SCROG net at 40 cm. The plants are still showing height differences: the tallest ones were already over 40+ cm, while the smaller ones have been progressively getting closer to the net, now just a few centimeters away 📏.
We’ve continued bending and guiding the branches, leading them to the sides 🌿. The strategy remains clear: first fill the corners, and once covered, redirect everything towards the center to achieve a homogeneous canopy. From above, the cabinet is starting to look very promising 👀💚, with more and more tips occupying the mesh.
Regarding lighting 💡, we’ve kept the LED at 70% power ⚡, adjusting heights to about 30 cm in the higher areas and around 45 cm in the lower ones, aiming for a uniform distribution without causing stress.
The climate 🌡️ has remained stable, with temperatures around 25-26 °C and humidity close to 60% 💧. The extractor and intractor are working balanced, generating a slight negative pressure in the cabinet 🌪️.
In terms of watering 💦, this week we made an important change: after reaching high fertilization levels, we opted to water only with water and liquid CO₂ supplement to give the substrate a breather and avoid salt buildup. Each plant continues to show different needs, so we’re still observing and adjusting individually 🌱.
One of the most delicate points has been a Blueberry Cupcake plant 🍇, which has been showing strong yellowing and signs of blockage ⚠️. We’ve focused efforts on its recovery; it’s quite bad, and we’ve improved the oxygenation of the substrate, increasing evaporation 🌬️💡. Although it remains the weakest, we’re keeping an eye out for any signs of improvement in the coming days to see if it survives 🔍.
We’ve also done a progressive cleaning ✂️, removing lower leaves and weak shoots without overdoing it to avoid stunting growth 🍭🌿.
🌱✨ In summary, it’s been a week of control, observation, and fine adjustments.
We continue to work on each plant individually while the SCROG takes shape and the grow moves towards an increasingly uniform and productive canopy 💚.
🌸 In a few days, we’ll move to flowering 🌸
✨ Cheers and good vibes 🐭💚

ZariRat_Grow 🌿 Recovery and Decision Week 🌿
This week has been intense 💪, but also very important for redirecting the grow. We were coming off several clear problems: very yellow plants, practically halted growth, and signs of severe stress, especially at the top due to excess light 💡.
🔧 Adjustments We've Made
We decided to act quickly and without fear:
• Lowered the light power to 50–60%
• Increased the distance to about 45–50 cm
• Maxed out the intake and extraction
• Stopped overloading with fertilizers
• Started watering in a much more controlled manner 💧
⚠️ Additionally, we removed the most affected plant ( BC ) 💀 with great sadness, it could have been saved, but to avoid harming the canopy and compensate for its loss in time with the rest, we decided to eliminate it 😔
🌱 Plant Evolution
The first few days were uncertain, but little by little we started to see positive signs 👀:
• New shoots healthier
• Leaves more upright
• Improvement in overall vigor
• Interior of the plants very green and healthy
Although the overall color is still somewhat yellowish, we saw that all the new shoots are perfect 🌿.
🕸️ SCROG Work
We have continued to work on the net day by day:
• Opening up the plants
• Guiding tips
• Filling gaps
This has been key to better distribute the light and prepare a good base for flowering.
🌸 Transition to Flowering ( 03/21/2026 )
After seeing the improvement and with the SCROG quite full, we decided to take the step:
✨ We adjusted the photoperiod and switched to 12/12
We did it gradually, giving them a good dark period before the change 🌑, to make the transition as smooth as possible.
⚠️ Strategy in this Phase
• We continue with gentle feeding
• Prioritize recovery and healthy stretch
• Observe new growth as a reference
🎯 Goal Now
We are entering a key phase:
• Achieve a strong but healthy stretch
• Finish filling the net
• Equalize heights
🔥 Conclusion
It has been a week of correction and learning 📚, but also of clear improvement. We have gone from a blocked grow to one that is responding again 💪🌱.
We're heading into flowering hoping everything goes great 🌸
Cheers, friends, and good vibes 🐭💚

ZariRat_Grow 🌸 Week 1 of Flowering 🌸
✨ General Summary
This week we've maintained very clean and controlled development. The plants continue to grow with good vigor, showing a healthy color and an increasingly defined structure. Everything is progressing without signs of stress.
✂️ Training and Work Done
A light lollipopping has been carried out on the lower part, removing weak shoots and leaves in areas that don't receive enough light.
With this, we achieve a more organized and efficient plant.
💧 Watering and Nutrition
We've maintained controlled watering, respecting the drying cycles of the substrate, guided by weight and not by calendar.
The nutrition continues to be adjusted to the phase, with stable pH and EC parameters.
No excesses and a very positive response from the plants.
This week we've added a flowering base to the fertilization mix.
🌡️ Environmental Conditions
The conditions have remained stable throughout the week, with temperature and humidity within optimal ranges.
📊 Progress
After the pruning, a cleaner structure is noticeable.
The upper areas are starting to take the spotlight, and a more uniform canopy is already observed.
🔥 Next Steps
We will continue to monitor recovery after pruning and adjust watering according to the plants' demands.
Greetings fellow growers and good vibes!! 🐭💚

ZariRat_Grow 🌸 Week 2 of flowering and restructuring 🚀
Greetings, family! We wrap up a week with sadness, one of the little ⚠️Zkittlez 2.0 turned male, and as soon as we discovered it, we removed it from the grow, cleaned up, and restructured the grow to fill the gap it left with the others.
💡Lighting: 70% at 60cm from the canopy. Plants are lime/pale green.
Nutrition: Strict diet with stable EC at 1.7. The plants are drinking like machines!
🌡️Climate: 26°C day / 20-23°C night. RH 50-60%.
The Stars of the Canopy
The Strawberry Banana, early resin and creamy terpenes flooding the entrance of the closet. 🍓🍌
The Zkittles 2.0 and Blueberry Cupcake at the back, marking their territory and starting to become a monster?
📐 Training
We’ve tightened the SCROG net to the limit with zip ties and are applying selective LST with wire to tame the "monsters" at the back and level out the 3 little SBs in the center (which are a week behind). The goal is a perfectly flat sea of green, and we’re achieving it! 📏🌿
Verdict: Tough, rigid plants with good apparent health 🌿✨
Cheers, fellow growers, and good vibes 🐭💚

ZariRat_Grow 🗓️ Week 3 Flowering 🌸
Lollipoppin & Massive Defoliation: We thoroughly cleaned the bottoms. We removed all the "scrub" to improve airflow 🌬️
Canopy Restructuring: We redid all the LST. Now they are in their final position, making the most of every cm².
Power to the Max: We turned the Solux Aura Pro up to 100% (at 60cm). It's time for them to feel the maximum power! 💡🔥
Nutrient Plan: We started with silver at the beginning of the week and from day 21 we will start with PK Pro (50% dosage). We're waking up the flowers' appetite for massive fattening.
The resin is starting to snow with brutal strength. We have the bunker sealed, optimized, and ready for what's coming! ❄️💎🌿

ZariRat_Grow 🌸 Week 4: Critical Decisions and Preparation for Fattening ❄️🍭✨
We're diving headfirst into the most exciting phase! They're responding wonderfully and the results are clear as day 💯, but it hasn't all been easy.
At the beginning of the week, we detected a hermaphrodite Zkittlez 2.0, so we had to react quickly and decisively. ⚡⚠️
We took drastic measures to protect the harvest: we removed the hermaphrodite plant, took down the SCROG net, and did a deep clean of fans, extractor, intractor, walls, and floors. We restructured the cabinet to perfectly space out the 6 remaining plants. We're moving forward stronger than ever with a spotless bunker! 💪
Nutrition at its peak: We're sticking to the base diet but raising the stakes with the PK to 100%. 📈 It's time to give the plants all the fuel they need to pack on those flowers. ⛽🔥
Elite cocktail: We're staying strong with the 33PRO line (Bloom base), reinforcing with Silicon, Silver, Iron, and CalMag. This combination seems to be working well and is reflected in the plants; they look great 🌿💎
Canopy Management: Leveling completed! We've finished the lollipop and removed the net to maximize aeration and ensure that light reaches every corner without obstacles. 📐🌬️💡
Results: The remaining Zkittlez 2.0 is still the absolute star; it's a true resin spectacle and its smell is already flooding the bunker. 🍬💎 The buds look healthy, shiny, and are gaining brutal density day by day. ❄️🥊
We're continuing to water by weight, listening to the needs of each plant, and preparing for the big final flower explosion! 🌿💨🚀
✨ Cheers, fellow growers, and good vibes 🐭💚

ZariRat_Grow 🗓️ Week 5 of Flowering 🌸
This week we've focused on completely stabilizing the environment. We've set up the air conditioning right at the heart of the grow ❄️🌬️.
The result is spectacular! We've managed to tame the temperatures and bring them down to 24-25°C with controlled humidity at 40-45% 📉.
As for nutrition, we're going all in 🔪 They're eating like champions. We've raised the EC to 2.6 and are keeping the pH steady at 6.0. The plants are "green green," with iron-like leaf health, and they're releasing a sweet aroma that fills the entire indoor space 🍭🍓🍌.
The structure of the tips is already showing promise! 🚀

This week the grow has been more stable than ever. Thanks to optimizing the 90/10 thermal mixing system, we have temperatures nailed at 24°C during the day and 21°C at night, with humidity hovering around 39-40%.
No signs of pests or mold, maximum security!
We’re seeing how the flowers start to transmute into diamonds 💎.
The Z 2.0 and Strawberry Banana are getting covered in an impressive white frost.
We’re maintaining the EC diet at 2.6 and, best of all, we don’t have a single burnt tip. We’ve done a low cleaning so that all the energy concentrates on the tips, which are already closing nodes at a crazy speed.
We can’t wait for the grand finale! ✨
Cheers, fellow growers, and good vibes 💚🐭

ZariRat_Grow Week 7 of flowering ❄️🌸
We're already in the home stretch. This week we lowered the light to 80% after noticing a bit of foxtailing and some slight signs of re-vege in the SB. We prefer to maintain quality and protect the trichomes well rather than keep cranking up the light.
We've also adjusted the climate to simulate a colder late autumn: 22-23°C with lights on and 18-19°C at night. The idea is to preserve the terpenes of the Z 2.0 and the BC as much as possible.
We're still checking trichomes daily. We're hoping to see around 10% amber before starting the root wash and thinking about the chop. Humidity always below 50% to avoid issues in this final phase. The resin is incredible, getting shinier every day, and the aroma of the grow is already insane 🍓
Cheers friends and good vibes!! 🐭💚

ZariRat_Grow Final stretch 🌿🌸
Just water, patience, and waiting for the right moment ✂️
The colors and the resin in this last week are insane. Despite the setbacks during the grow, we are very happy.
Cheers and good vibes, fellow growers 💚🐭
Our experience with the Zkittlez 2.0 seeds from Silent Seeds
Overall, we really liked the result. The plant that turned out female developed some really beautiful buds, with very striking colors, good production, and an excellent final appearance. The truth is that the genetic quality was noticeable. Because when a plant turns out well, it looks spectacular.
However, of the three seeds we bought, one ended up being hermaphrodite and another male, so in the end, we could only properly utilize one. We understand that variations can occur in this type of cultivation.
Still, we highly value the potential of the genetics and wanted to share both the good and the inconvenience we had with these seeds.

ZariRat_Grow This week we finally harvested the Zkittlez 2.0🌱✂️
The truth is that it has been a very pleasant plant to grow throughout the process. It has produced some beautiful colors during flowering, very compact and resinous buds, and also with a very good final weight. It gives off a smell like lemon candy, very sweet and citrusy, we love it. Visually, it looks spectacular, one of those plants that makes you open the cabinet just to look at it. The flowers are different and gorgeous 💚
We also really liked its structure and how it responded during the grow. You can tell it has a genetics with a lot of potential and personality.
Now comes the hardest part: waiting for it to dry ✨
We’ll see how the aroma and final result evolve once cured, but for now, the feelings are very good and we are very happy with the experience. 🐭💚

DRYING UPDATE 🌿🌺
The Zkittlez 2.0 has cured excellently, maintaining very compact and hard buds, with minimal resin loss during the process. It displays some attractive purple tones that enhance its visual appeal even more. Its aromatic profile is spectacular, with intense sweet and fruity notes that perfectly translate to the flavor, offering a very rich, complex, and pleasant experience with each puff. It's a pleasure to smoke it knowing the effort and love that went into it 💚🐭
Growing the Blueberry Cupcake from Humboldt Seed Company has been absolutely insane. From the start, it showed incredible vigor, and during flowering, it turned into a spectacular plant. The buds came out huge, super compact, and loaded with resin, with beautiful colors. The aroma also blew us away, very intense and sweet, and visually, it has been one of the prettiest plants we've grown. One of those you’d want to show off to everyone. We loved it from start to finish. Easy to enjoy during the grow, gorgeous in flowering, and with an amazing final look. Honestly, a genetics that completely blew our minds. We will definitely be returning to Humboldt Seed Company to keep trying different strains. A ten out of ten experience!

ZariRat_Grow This week we finally harvested the Blueberry Cupcake ✂️?
And honestly… what a spectacular plant. Throughout the flowering stage, it kept surprising us: incredible colors, a massive amount of resin, and compact, beautiful buds. One of those plants that when you look at them, you think “this can’t come from just a simple seed.”
The aroma has completely captivated us. It has that sweet and creamy background, mixed with intense notes of red fruits. When moving the buds, an impressive fruity and sweet smell came out. Absolutely crazy.
The growing experience has been incredible from start to finish, and we are super happy with the result 🌈🔥
Now we have to wait for the drying and curing… the hardest part of all. Because growing takes patience, but having the buds right in front of you and not being able to try them yet is just a tough test!! 😋
💚🐭
___________________________
UPDATE 🌿🌺
The drying of the Blueberry Cupcake has finished with excellent results. The buds have turned out especially hard and consistent, with a compact structure and a spectacular visual presence. They retained a great amount of resin throughout the process, leaving a very frosty and attractive appearance, accompanied by really beautiful colors. 🐭
We liked the genetics and quality from Humboldt, so far we only have good things to say, we will grow them again.
Our experience with the Strawberry Banana from DNA Genetics has been a bit bittersweet.
We germinated about seven seeds, and the truth is that they had quite a hard time getting started. In the end, four plants came out, and from the beginning, we noticed that it was a rather delicate and sensitive genetic throughout the grow.
One of the plants barely produced resin and also had quite a bit of foxtailing. Part of that was surely our fault due to the conditions or handling during flowering, because in the end, growing is half experience and half negotiating with a plant.
The other plants ended up being acceptable and had a good overall appearance, but together we found it to be a rather demanding variety, sensitive to changes, and somewhat complicated to manage compared to other genetics we've grown.
It hasn't been a bad experience, but honestly, we expected a more stable and straightforward grow given the variety's reputation. Still, I'm sure that in more specialized hands or with a more refined environment, it could show much greater potential.

ZariRat_Grow This week we harvested the Strawberry Banana ✂️🍓🍌, a pretty sensitive and demanding genetic, one of those that requires everything to be quite fine-tuned for it to be really comfortable. One of them also produced very little resin, yet the flowers that came out look really good visually. Some developed quite chunky buds, with a final weight more than acceptable and a beautiful intense green color that really caught the eye 🌱.
The resin production seemed average to us overall, without standing out particularly, but the aroma did surprise us in a good way. It has a super curious and sweet smell, very similar to a strawberry and banana petit suisse, creamy, fruity, and quite indulgent.
Overall, it hasn't been our favorite genetic to grow due to how delicate and sensitive it was for us, but it does have interesting details and a very pleasant aromatic profile.

UPDATE 🌿🌺
The drying of the Strawberry Banana (DNA Genetics) has developed quite steadily, without any notable ups and downs or complications. The buds have maintained a compact and sticky structure, with good overall presence and a remarkable preservation of the resin, which reinforces its intensely aromatic character. 🐭💚
@Condocannibus, Hi! Yes, of course. It’s a TT Fan 150mm with an airflow of 300 m³/h. But if you’d like me to recommend one, it’s better to go for a 150mm model with an adjustable airflow of 500 m³/h from Amazon.
Best regards and happy growing!
