Strawberry Banana Auto - Outdoor

Pheno_Minds 📋 The Strawberry Banana from Fastbuds has officially entered its first week of vegetation after cleanly leaving the germination phase behind. In this second overall week, it's mainly about laying a stable foundation for future growth. The plant is currently very compact and shows exactly the vitality expected from stable genetics. The transition from seedling to vegetative phase has gone without any stress, which is a good sign for the coming weeks given the current conditions. 📏 At a height of 5 cm, the little lady is currently focusing more on width and root development rather than vertical growth. The substrate is a mix of 85 percent Plagron Allmix and 15 percent homemade compost, providing a solid nutrient base without overwhelming the young plant. For watering, I’m using House and Garden Root Excelurator at a dosage of 0.2 ml per liter to maximize root development. 📸 A look at the current photos shows a very healthy state with a rich, strong dark green color of the leaves. The first true leaf pairs are fully developed and have the typical, sharply serrated edges. The structure is very symmetrical, and the stem already looks quite robust and stable for its size. Notably, the cotyledons are still a vibrant green, indicating optimal nutrient supply from the medium. The transparent cup also reveals that the roots are already actively reaching the edge and effectively utilizing the volume. 💧 For the next week, observing root development will be the focus, as the space in the seedling cup is likely to be maxed out soon. Once the root system becomes a bit denser, the move to the 9L final pot will follow to avoid stunting growth. The plant looks very robust and seems to handle the sun well without stretching. If the pace continues like this, the Strawberry Banana will soon gain considerable mass.

Pheno_Minds 📋 The Strawberry Banana from Fastbuds is currently in its second week of vegetation, making it a total of three weeks old. It's stable in the growth process and shows no signs of stress or deficiencies. 📏 With a current height of 8 cm in a 9 L pot, it's developing evenly. The plant is compact, the stem looks strong, and the internodal distances are short, which is great for light utilization. 📸 The pictures show a healthy condition. The leaf color is a rich, healthy green without discoloration. The plant's structure is symmetrical and vibrant, the leaves are unfolding well and show a strong texture. First side shoots are starting to form in the leaf axils, highlighting good root growth. 💧 Moving forward, I will adjust the watering behavior to match the now accelerating growth. Everything is going according to plan.

Pheno_Minds 📋 The Strawberry Banana from Fastbuds is now in the third week of vegetation, and we are overall in the fourth week since germination. The plant has left the initial starting phase behind and is now forming a stable root system. The foliage looks healthy, and the internodal distances are short and compact, indicating good light management. 📏 The current height is 12 cm. The environmental values have stabilized at an average temperature of 27 degrees and a humidity of 58 percent. This is a solid range for this stage, where the plant is slowly ramping up its metabolic processes. 💧 The water temperature averaged 21 degrees, which is ideal to avoid giving the roots a cold shock and to promote oxygen uptake in the substrate. The plant shows signs of thirst, but not excessively, indicating that the current watering rhythm is well-suited to the substrate and root volume. 📸 Observation for the upcoming time: The Strawberry Banana is now increasingly starting to form side shoots. If the growth continues at this pace, I will consider some gentle training next week to better direct light to the lower areas. The vitality is absolutely fine, with no signs of deficiencies or stress. Everything is going according to plan.

Pheno_Minds 📋 The Strawberry Banana from Fastbuds is in its fourth week of vegetative growth, which corresponds to week 5 overall since germination. The plant is stable and has developed a good, even structure after training. The light is consistently running at 18 hours a day. 💧 Additionally, I have administered 4 ml of S&R Organics 5in1 as a special boost to enhance root growth and nutrient uptake during this phase. 📸 The current shot shows a vigorous plant with healthy, lush green foliage. Particularly noticeable is the pronounced LST effect: By bending down the main stem, the lower side branches have caught up significantly and are now well positioned in the light. The leaf structure is robust, although the lowest leaves show slight discoloration, which often occurs at this stage after the transition and is not a cause for concern. ✂️ The plant has responded well to training and shows a nice symmetry. In the next week, I will focus on further developing the side branches. If the development continues like this, the stretch should kick in soon. I will keep an eye on the lowest leaves; if yellowing increases, I will adjust the feeding schedule accordingly.

Pheno_Minds 📋 The Strawberry Banana from Fastbuds has transitioned from the growth phase into flowering. We are currently in week 6 overall, so it's the first week of flowering. The plant looks vigorous and has handled the transition well. 💧 This week, the plant was watered twice. In addition to the regular schedule, it received 15 ml of S&R Organics 5in1 twice, as well as 1 ml of S&R Organics Phosphor Boost as special additions to meet the needs for the beginning of flower formation. The substrate consists of 30% compost and 70% Plagron Light Mix, providing a solid foundation. 📸 A look at the plants shows lush, healthy green leaves. The structure is open and displays a strong main stem. The first signs of flower development are already clearly visible at the internodes. Notably, the lower area shows slight yellowing and dry spots on the lowest leaves, which at this stage is often a normal sign that the plant is shifting energy to the upper shoots and new flower formation. The stem is stable and shows good development. The Strawberry Banana is now fully in its element and is starting the typical flowering stretch. I will closely monitor how it reacts to the phosphorus addition in the coming days and whether its thirst during the flowering phase noticeably increases. Everything is looking good, let's keep going.

Pheno_Minds 📸 The Strawberry Banana from Fastbuds has settled in nicely during the second week of flowering. You can clearly see the stretch, which is now slowly transitioning into flower production. The plant is stable, the structure is open, and it allows plenty of light to reach all the nodes. The foliage shows a healthy, vigorous green, indicating good nutrient supply. The flower sites are forming nicely, and you can already see the first tiny hairs at the nodes. 📋 Everything went according to plan this week. I fed with BioTabs Bio Pk 5-8 at a dosage of 10 ml/L. That's a solid dose to really kick off the flowering phase without overwhelming the roots. The plant shows no signs of stress from the fertilization; everything looks vibrant and revitalized. ✂️ What stands out when looking at the pictures is the stem's growth. The bend in the lower area was necessary to keep the plant a bit flatter and distribute the light better – it paid off, the growth shape is now even. In the coming days, I will closely observe how quickly the flowers gain mass. Now it's all about keeping the nutrient supply stable and waiting for the resin production to kick in properly. It's going well.

Pheno_Minds 💧 We are in week 3 of flowering, overall it's the Strawberry Banana from Fastbuds. The plant has finished its stretch and is now fully focused on bud formation at the internodes. 📏 This week I did 2 waterings, supplemented with special doses of 21 ml each of S&R Organics 5in1. 📸 The current appearance shows a healthy plant with deep green leaves and a stable structure. The bud sites are developing evenly, the first white stigmas are clearly visible, and resin production is starting. The leaf shape is typical for the strain and shows no signs of stress or deficiencies. 📋 The plant is well-fed and the bud development is now picking up speed. So far, everything looks like it's going according to plan.

Pheno_Minds 💧 We have reached the 4th week of flowering, a total of week 9 for the Strawberry Banana. The plant has stretched nicely and is now fully into production, with flower sites on the branches becoming clearly visible. 📋 This week there were 2 waterings. As an extra boost for flower development, I added 3 ml of BioTabs Bio Pk 5-8 to cover the phosphorus and potassium needs at this stage. The light period is stable at 18 hours per day. 📸 The current appearance shows a healthy, robust plant with a consistently rich, dark green leaf color, indicating good nutrient supply. The structure is open and allows plenty of light to reach the flowers. Only a single lower leaf shows a yellow discoloration, which is completely normal at this stage and not a cause for concern. The flower development looks clean for the current time, with numerous and vital stigmas. 🧐 All in all, a solid status. The plant is well-fed, and energy is now noticeably shifting into flower development. I will continue to monitor the leaf growth and see how it reacts to the PK addition, but currently, there’s nothing to complain about. Next week, it will be important to keep a close eye on the flower development.

Pheno_Minds 📋 The Strawberry Banana from Fastbuds is now in week 5 of flowering, making it week 10 overall. The plant is stable in its feeding and shows a healthy, rich green color. The flower formation is progressing well, and the typical structure is already clearly recognizable. 💧 During this period, there have been 2 waterings. I supplemented with 16.5 ml of S&R Organics 5in1 and 10 ml of BioTabs Bio Pk 5-8 to cover the phosphorus and potassium needs in this crucial phase. I kept the light period constant at 18 hours per day. 📸 The pictures show clean foliage without signs of deficiencies or stress. The flower clusters are already producing good resin, even though the stigmas are still predominantly light and active. The structure looks compact and vigorous, which fits perfectly with the timeline for healthy development. 🔍 The plant is right on track. Now it's all about building up the flower mass and promoting the resin profile. I'm keeping an eye on the humidity to ensure that nothing molds at the end with the increasing density of the buds. Next week, we'll continue as usual with the nutrient supply.

Pheno_Minds 💧 The Strawberry Banana from Fastbuds is in week 6 of flowering. The plant shows a compact structure with a current height of 58 cm. The leaves are vibrant and dark green, indicating good nutrient supply. The flower development is progressing nicely; the buds are already well-covered with trichomes and the first stigmas are starting to change color. 📏 As a special addition, I added 5 ml of S&R Organics 5in1 to specifically support the late flowering phase. 📸 The current appearance shows a healthy plant without any deficiency symptoms. The flower formation is impressively dense for the low height. Notable is the even resin coverage on the flowers and the directly adjacent sugar leaves. 📋 In the coming time, I will focus on the maturation of the trichomes. The plant is well-fed, so I will closely observe how it reacts to the additional feeding and adjust the watering behavior according to its needs. The final stretch has begun.

Pheno_Minds 📋 The Strawberry Banana from Fastbuds is in week 7 of flowering, which corresponds to a total of week 12. The plant shows clear signs of the autumn life cycle, where it is now putting almost all its energy into flower production. 📏 The plant is 58 cm tall. The substrate is a mix of 30 percent compost and 70 percent Plagron Light Mix. 📸 The visual condition shows a plant in the final ripening phase. The leaf coloration is strongly yellow and brown, which is completely normal at this stage as the plant draws its nutrient reserves from the leaves into the flowers. The structure is compact, the flowers themselves appear dense and are already nicely covered with trichomes that shine upon closer inspection. The stigmas are mostly brownish in color. ✂️ All in all, a classic progression for the end of flowering. The plant looks like it is mobilizing its last reserves. I will now pay close attention to the trichome development to not miss the optimal harvest time. The goal now is just to ripen the flower clusters while flushing out the remaining nutrients.

Pheno_Minds ✂️ The Strawberry Banana from Fastbuds has reached its goal. After 13 weeks, the flowering time is over, and the transition to harvest has been completed. The plant has been successfully laid down and is now in the drying process. 📋 With a final height of 58 cm, the plant has remained compact but has developed a solid flower structure. In the pictures, you can see well-formed buds with an overall green leaf coloration, which has naturally faded slightly in the last days of ripening. The structure is open and airy, which is definitely advantageous during drying, as it allows for good air circulation and minimizes the chance of mold. 📸 A close-up view confirms the decision to harvest: the flower clusters are dense and show a nice resin coverage. The plant has been hung up as a whole to ensure even drying. Now it's time to be patient until the stems snap when bent instead of just bending. Then it's off to the jars for curing, to properly bring out the terpene profile of the Strawberry Banana. A solid finish for this run.
