Banana Blaze from Dutch Passion was a wonderful project to observe and take care of. It was part of a three strain (Meringue, Mokum’s Tulip, Banana Blaze) - six months experiment where the plants underwent a series of different mainlining techniques and were grown through neodymium magnets oriented north pole up to assess and better understand the effects of magnetic fields on plants.
All three plants were grown in 38L air pots filled with Plagron Royal Mix and received magnetically treated water (process explained throughout the diary) mixed with Plagron organic nutrients and ORMUS.
Banana Blaze had a 15 weeks vegetative period followed by 8.5 flowering. Throughout the duration of the grow the plant never showed any deficit and was sturdy and robust. Undertook the occult toppings and bondage sessions with lots of stretching and fast recovery. The mainlining technic was aiming for 16 main colas. She was the widest of the three plants and spread over the most space in the back of the tent.
Very beautiful macro aspect as well, the tallest trichomes with very fragrant fruity smell!
Dry bud on the scale from Banana Blaze 259g.
Full smoke report coming soon...
What can I say?! Words are futile to describe this absolute incredible and innovative piece of technology! This was the first ever documented grow under this lights on GrowDiaries.
It's an absolute next level performance horticultural light. The yield was absolute fantastic for a 6 months cycle, 976g of dry organic and fully flavored bud in a 1.5m2 Lighthouse LITE tent in organic soil. In hydro or DWC and same conditions, I'd expect even more!
This is the spec:
Average PPFD 732μmol/s-m2
PPF 1344μmol
Efficacy 2.1μmol/j
LED Efficacy 2.1 - 2.8μmol/j
Spectral Efficacy 98%
No of LEDS 144
Wattage 550w - the new model is dimmable from 0 - 640w.
Amps 2.5
Input Voltage 110 – 277v
Dimensions 21 x 46 x 7cm
Weight 3.4kg
The design is very slick and well thought. It has a 4mm thick polycharbonate chassis, built in gutters channel any possible condensation to the front of the lamp to be blown away by the fan. Comes with super tough polycaronate lens to ensure zero light loss and protects from damage. It's build to last.
High Power smd LED's with a 120 degree lens angle for wide cover. Very silent lamp and absolute bright! it is imperative to wear protective glasses ( i.e Method Seven Cultivator LED Glasses )
After using this type of lights you wouldn't want to go back using anything else...ever! Plants are responding mad to it growing very vigorous and even, giving large dense heavy flowers covered with tall trichomes.
Would strongly recommend if you are looking for next level horticultural light technology!

Absolute unique fragrance! must have in the garden!
This project of 3 plants was done in a 1.5m2 Lighthouse LITE tent under Cropmaster PRO 1000 Led 550w (absolute impressed with this horticultural LED lights, highly recommended!)
Dry bud on the scale from Banana Blaze 259g.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
So to recap, Banana Blaze – 259g, Mokum’s Tulip 198g and Meringue 261g, a total of 718g of organically grown dry bud done in 1,5m2 tent under Cropmaster Pro 1000 Led 550w in 8.5 weeks of flowering and 15 weeks of vegetative growth.
But the Occult Magnetic Garden started with 2 more plants (if you look back in the diary), there was Auto Creeper from Super Sativa Seeds – 180g and Auto Durban Poison from Dutch Passion – 78g, which brings the total weight of the project to 976g of dry organic and fully flavored bud in 6 months. I think it is pretty sweet to have had the opportunity to look after this plants and get the chance to take some cool photos and to share this here, with the GD community! the rest is only bonus!
Anybody can do it !
Have you any doubt that the magnets oriented North side up through which the plants have been growing had no implication? You might, as through this project there was no control plants. Check my other occult diaries where you’ll better be able to see the different ways magnets can affect the plants growth cycle.
Finally finished, the 6 months Occult Magnetic Garden is done. If you have the curiosity and want to check some cool macro shoots as well, take a pick and let me know what you think! 😊
That's some impressive main-lining right there! Where did you learn the technique? I think I might use this diary as a little visual guide :)
Keep up the good work!
@@occultgreen420, just saying if you think it works, then it’s already an asset. I was not criticizing. Hell they already use it for pain, joints pain and blood circulation. So. I won’t knock what I don’t know 👍
@@JP148, thanks for stopping by. Magnetism is not about confidence in growing. It is a scientifically proven method that yields more and I want to share this with the growdiaries community, especially with the small scale grower who is limited by the number of plants that can grow. With this method, if done properly, one can get significantly bigger plants and yields. Also the magnetic grow acts on many levels, isn't it? you are here checking my grow ;)
@Martian,
giving ORMUS to plants has nothing to do with smartness. It's a nutrient and a booster. Make sure you to follow the producer's instructions. When water is passing through a magnetic field, it become magnetized water.
Hella jealous of this one. I love pure sativas. Haven't had any in over a decade. Unfortunately my growspace lacks the height for me to grow them with confidence, so I dont do it. Also cannabis isn't legal where I live so not like I can just head over to dispensary to get some. I love smoking in the daytime but I shy away from it. I'm 42, I have responsibilities and almost all my weed is too couchlocky for me to indulge during hectic day (hence DaSofaSurfer). I do love the buzz the creativity and even the paranoia that people often complain about with sativas. I hope u enjoy the heck out of it tho. If u want to send me a nug in the mail tho 🤣✌️
@DaSofaSurfer,
yea, you are right, I should have lollipoped her much more aggressive but left her like that for no reason 😶, next time will be different. She was under the 550w only for 1 week or so, the rest was around 220w. It's for sure a strain worth growing if you are limited by the number of plants you grow per year, then one of this with proper lollipoping and ScrOG is for sure a heavy yielding strain and very bushy for a sativa. Thanks for the kind words man!
@@@occultgreen420, wow 110 days is crazy. I was thinking that I would have lollipoped alot off the bottom I mean they are donkey d!cks up and down I know and I remember you got a 400 or 500 watt light but she's so tall idk if those bottom buds are getting enough light. Sometimes when that happens I like to harvest just half the plant, lower the light and give the bottom half an extra week to Finish up. I'm not there tho and like I said I'm jealous of her. Good job
@DaSofaSurfer,
It was an interesting experience to grow this Auto Creeper. Took 110 days from seed to harvest and gave 180g dry bud, which is pretty sweet for an Auto strain done organic in soil with no wired hormones to pump it up. I might have done her injustice with the way I grew her, would have benefited from much much more defoliation and ScrOG and a 1m2 tent for her own, but she got on well the way she did. I'd be a big fan of sativas. Love the flow an energy it brings. Great for daytime. Will see how it tastes in another week or so. I can only offer nice macros...not able to send anything because...they don't exist, all is fiction 😅 the time for global legalization is near! or at least decriminalization.
Wow, those trichomes pictures are awesome man. 7th picture of your harvest should definitely be a contender for best pic of the month. Awesome colours 😎
@@occultgreen420, well, they truly are nice photos, I’m using her as my new background on my phone 😀 try and submit them for this month, you find in in the main list under “contests”. Nice prices to be won too.
Good luck man, nice diary 👍
Have I commented on this diary yet, I did not find..?
Anyhow...ass licking time: beautiful looking is this magnetic grow to me.
Magnetic fields are peculiar and intriguing. The aligned spins of the subatomic particles cause the borealis as well as your plants' nice colorings... It is a wonderful world (if you count out the destructive h. sapien fam)... Looking forward to seeing your harvest results 😃
I feel like the Magnet does nothing.. There's magnet's Everywhere.. That's why I followed along I wanted to understand more of the dynamics of the magnet can you please explain this to me? You don't have to.. I understand their are magnetic fields everywhere but????
@DeadwebsiteBoringcommunity,
And what would you have thought you will see? you are here following the grow, aren't you? so the magnet is working 😆
Will see in the end what comes out of it, the project is still very early, has at least another 8-10 weeks to go and have in mind the water intake is much higher during flowering. The internet is full of scientific publications on magnetic agriculture tracing back to the '60s, you can check them out, also there are links to different scientific journals through this diary if you look back. I will write an article about my method of growing with magnets, ormus and all the rest. If you have the interest to follow until the end, you are welcomed to do so.
@DutchPassion_Official, thank you so much for everything!🙏 I am so impressed with all the strains! they respond so well to the training. As always, wonderful, strong strains! Looking foreword in seeing the end results, the macro photos 😄
@Dunk_Junk,
Thanks for stopping by and for the appreciation! if you like the macros, go check some more non my instagram @@occultgreen420 , lots of other strains and nice colors!
Camera is Canon and lens is a custom made one for macro photography with polarized light and a x10 macro lens on top of it, all wrapped in duct tape ... not joking.
