D0 (21/11/2020): Started tonight germination between paper towel of two seeds from QCS (not sure of the breeder). One Glue Gelato and one Banana Kush. I'm super excited since it's my first grow! D2 (23/11/2020): Approx. 36-hour later the seeds have germinated. I planted them in 3 gal. pot with a mix of soil, coco and perlite (it's a pre mixed bag), no nut (this pre mixed bag already contain some minerals and vitamins). D4 (25/11/2020): The plant show off 48 hour after putting the germinated seeds into soil. ------------------ -Watering with tap water -PH: around 7 ( not ideal but for the type of soil I have it's ok, I will adjust this next week when the leaf will show up) -Light: 20h ON / 4h OFF (extra light can't hurt 😉) -Temp: 22C -RH: 65%

D5 (26/11/2020): First two leaf show up. They really stretch in the last 24h so I need to adjust the lamp from 44inch to 36inch and from 25% to 100% (35W to 150W+-5W). Will see how they react to the adjustment of the lamp. D6 (27/11/2020): They like the change of light. I adjust the lamp from 36 inch to 24 inch. - Temp: in the tent went up to 27C due to the higher intensity. I need to check if it become a problem in the next few days. - Tap: water PH6.5, no nut. - RH : 65% D7 (28/11/2020): After lowering the lamp I saw some small yellowing on the new leaf of the Banana Kush. I did some research and found that I need 200-300 PPFD for seedling/early vedge grow. I used Lux light meter app to determine how much lux my plant was receiving. I'm aiming for 250 PPFD (around 19 250 lux) so I dimmed the intensity back to 75% but maintain at 24inch height from the plant. It may also be heat stress since the temp was higher in the last days (around 27C). Overall they are growing and seem to like the environment. - temp: 25-27C - water: PH6.5, no nut - RH: 65% D8 (29/11/2020): First feeding with nutrients today, 1/2 of the recommended dose. - temp: 24C - water: PH6.15, nut: PPM220, temp 20C - RH: 65-70% D9 (30/11/2020): They responded well after there first nutrients. We can see already a difference between the two plant. Banana Kush grow higher and Glue Gelato have bigger leaves. - temp: 25C - no water - RH: 67% D10 (01/12/2020): New leaves are born and they look healthy. - temp: 25C - No water - RH: 65% D11 (02/12/2020): Full recommended dose (for week 1) of nutrients. The lamp is now at 100% and still at 24in from plants. They now receive 315 PPFD (24 000 lux) - temp: 25C - Water: PH6.2, temp: 20C, nutrients: PPM 420 😎👽 - RH: 65%

D12 (03/12/2020): Start of the 2nd week. They look healthy. I have a second Mars Hydro TS1000W but I will wait 3-4 days to install it since they don't need more lights for now. I want to remove the drivers from inside of the tent to lower the temperature when both light will be installed. I want to do a wood base before to install the drivers and the dimers on it. - temp: 25C - no water - RH : 65% D13 (04/12/2020): The light is now at 18in from the plants. They now receive 450PPFD (35 000 lux). If they react well, I might install the second light sooner. - temp: 25C - water: PH6.4, temp: 19C, nutrient: PPM410 - RH: 65% D14 (05/12/2020): It's time for the second light. Always at 450PPFD (35 000 lux). I will probably put the lights back at 24in height and dim it, I'm making test tonight. - temp: 26C - no water - RH: 65% D15 (06/12/2020): Since two days my Glue Gelato have leaves that curl up and down. I'm not sure what it is. I made some research and It can be stress from the light (I don't think it's that cause I did check how many PPFD they receive and it's fine). It can be stress from higher temperature in the tent. It also can be stress from too much wind directly on the plant or stress from nutrients feed two days ago. They were thirsty especially the Glue Gelato so I gave them tap water no nutrients (around 500ml each plant). I readjusted the fans to make sure it was not blowing air directly on the plants. Last night I did installed my second Mars Hydro TS1000 light. Both light are now at 24in and dimmed at 75% to have 390PPFD (30 000 lux). I think PPFD 450 (35 000 lux) was to much for the Glue Gelato. The challenge will be to maintain a proper temperature in the tent with both light on. I did removed the drivers out of the tent and fixed them on a wood base to help reduce temperature in the tent. I also modified the light by removing two side panel on each light. I felt that the flat angle panel (90 degree one) was blocking at least one if not two line of LED and felt that it was not optimal. - temp: 26C - tap water: PH6.4 , no nutrients PPM110 - RH: 65% D16 (07/12/2020): Glue Gelato looks way better today. Pretty sure it was too much light and wind on it. I'm learning so that's fine as long as the plant recover from it. Both are growing new leaves and fast so they are healthy! 😀 - temp: 26C - no water - RH: 65% D17 (08/12/2020): Glue Gelato is fine, both looks healthy! It's crazy how the main stem on both plants got thicker in the last 2-3 days. I might water later today. If I do, it will be only with Max Minerals full dose. In order to make sure it was not nutrients toxicity that stressed the Glue Gelato, I'm cutting back on nut. Max Minerals contain a fair amount of nitrogen and minerals. I'm also watching a lot of video on LST and I'm planning to start it at beginning of week 3 when the third node will be fully grown. - temp: 26C - no water - RH: 65% D18 (09/12/2020): End of week 2 of veg and beginning of low stress training. I gave water with only max minerals. - temps: 27C - water: PH6.8, only max minerals PPM: 170 - RH: 65%

D19 (10/12/2020): Beginning of week 3. I saw little yellow/brown spot on big leaves and new leaves, I need to check this closely. I fed with half of the recommended dose but 1.5-1.75L of water per plant. I was giving 1L max and I think it was not enough for the size of my pots. RH of the grow tent is now down at 60%. - temps: 26C - water: PH6.3, PPM: 410 - RH: 60% D20 (11/12/2020): Today I saw thrips larva crawling on a leaf (see video above). That confirm my problem is not a nutrients deficiency. I know how I got them and it's a rookie mistake from me. At the beginning of my grows, I placed a plant in my tent that was originally outdoor during fall. I did not think that it would be infested with bugs. I removed it when I saw a little bugs fly in my tent but the damage was probably already done. I read about thrips and you can get rid of them if you act fast and soon in the infestation. I will go to my local horticulture store today and ask advices and ways to exterminated them. I'm a newbie in growing cannabis (plants in general) and I want the best for my plants. I'm learning from my mistake and that's what I like! Overall, both plants are growing fast and they react really well to LST. I readjust the tie 2-3x a day because the small leaves are growing so fast! - temp: 26C - no water - RH: 60% D21 (12/12/2020): I bought insecticidal soap and gave a treatment. RH is now at 55% and that increases air flow. -temp: 26C - no water - RH: 55% D22 (13/12/2020): The lamp is now 100% and at 28inch form the plants. They received 430 PPFD (33 000 lux). Temperature is under control around 26C with a new oscillating fan place on the floor. This air flow will help against bugs. LST continue every day to expose new leaves. I gave water with only Max Minerals. - temp: 26.5C - water: PH6.4, PPM: 275, approx.: 1,75L per plant - RH: 55% D23 (14/12/2020): LST continue, I try to bend one branch every day and readjust the other ones. I did not see more bugs but some of the new leaves are affected so I know they are still there. I ordered nematodes to help me prevent new larvae. They are suppose to arrive in two days. - temp: 26C - no water - RH: 55% D24 (15/12/2020): I removed leaves at the bottom of the pants last night. Probably 3-4 leaves per plant that were not receiving light. This morning I can see that it gave a good boost on the new leaves! Continuing LST as usual. The nematodes arrived earlier then expected. I will apply them tonight as soon as the lights turn on! - temp: 26C - no water - RH: 54% D25 (16/12/2020): I did a lot today! First, I sprayed another treatment of insecticidal soap on all my plants. Second, I removed one inch of soil in each pot and replaced it with new soil (same soil). I saw sign of what I think is phosphate deficiency. I was really shy on nutrients since beginning of the grow. Third, I fed full recommended dose for week 3 of veg. I gave 1.5L of water with nutrients and approx. 0.5L of tap water when I placed the nematodes. Fourth, I placed one tea pouch of nematodes in each pot as recommended. I also opened 2 tea pouch of nematodes and sprinkled them over the soil of all plants. Finally, I continued LST. It was a big week of up and down. Both plants grew like crazy and I discover an infestation. I think Banana Kush is in pre flower but I'm not sure. It's a bit early but they got so much stressed this week. -temp: 26C -water: PH6.5, PPM: 725 -RH: 55%

D26 (17/12/2020): New week, new challenge. I think I fed too much nutrients. They seem to have nutrient burn on leaves but it's tough to tell the difference between this and the damage that the bugs caused. Where the plant was already hurt (yellow spot) the same spot got bigger. I will check PH and PPM of the run off (never did that). - temp: 26C - no water - RH: 55% D27 (18/12/2020): I flushed my plant and test the run off. My soil was wayyyy too ''HOT''! I should have done this before. I never fed enough to let water run off in the saucer pan. The PH was good at 6.3-6.4 but PPM was at 2370 for Banana Kush and 2060 for Glue Gelato 😳... 😅 It was about time to check that! I flushed once, waited 20min and then flushed a second time. I checked 3X the run off during the process and the third time PPM was at 1050 for Banana Kush and 950 for Glue Gelato. I'm not sure if I'll do another flush tomorrow or in two days but they definitely need another one. I also defoliated all the big fan leaf at the bottom of the plant. They were the most affected by the bugs and I want my plants to focus on growing new leaves aka buds site. I was in pain yesterday after dropping a bottle of shampoo on my Glue Gelato during the flush (I did it in my shower). It cause damage to the main branch 😭. I taped the branch with a small band aid of electric tape, will see how she recover from this... ***Update on bugs*** After more research it was not Thrips but Fungus Gnats larvae. Anyway they also cause damage. First good news is I did not see any larvae since the second insecticidal soap wash I did 2 days ago and the new leaves don't seem to be affected. Removing 1 inch of the soil probably help to. I should have done this as soon as I saw larvae. Second good news is the nematodes I bought are also effective on Fungus Gnats 💪 - temp: 26C - water used for flush: PH6.5 approx. 2L per plant for the first flush. For the second, I only add around 0.25-0.5L and wait to have dripping water in the saucer pan. - RH: 55% D28 (19/12/2020): Banana Kush is officially in pre flower 😍. Glue Gelato also look in pre flower but it's not as obvious, I'm not sure. I will finish this week as 4th week of veg and will switch for flower next week. I did some more defoliation by removing leaves under that will never grow and continued LST. They are really short and bushy. I think it's due to all the stress they had since beginning but they look healthy and still growing so I can't ask better for my first grow! - temp: 26C - no water - RH: 55% D29 (20/12/2020): Both are officially in pre flower 😍😍. Nothing special today. I decided to stop LST for now and let them stretch. I'm just tucking leaves. The light is at 30inch from plants cause I was tired of always readjust it to be at 28inch. - temp: 24C - no water - RH: 54% D30 (21/12/2020): (1 month of grow) I did flush again 2X today exactly like D27. The run off is at 850 PPM and PH6.5. - temp: 24C - water used for flush: PH6.5, approx. 3L, 125 PPM - RH: 55% D31 (22/12/2020): Everything is growing fast. I think I wait a bit to long between feeding. They really growth in the last 24h after giving water. I saw more larvae today.. -temp: 25C - no water - RH: 54% D32 (23/12/2020): I removed leaves under the canopy that was not receiving light. - temp: 25C - no water - RH: 54%

D33 (24/12/2020): First week of flowering. Both officially went into flower 4-5 days ago but I decided to finish the week before starting first flower week. I fed around 3L of water today, they were thirsty. I mixed full recommended dose of nutrients for last week of veg in 1,75 gal. of water. I want to go slow in reintroducing nutrients after 2 flush last week. - temp: 25C - water: approx. 3L per plant, PH6.4. 600 PPM - run off: 900 PPM for Banana Kush and 800 PPM for Glue Gelato - RH: 54% D34 (25/12/2020): Nothing special today except that it's Christmas, everything is going well. RH is higher today since higher temperature where I live but nothing crazy. - temp: 25C - no water - RH: 58% D35 (26/12/2020): I removed leaves under canopy today and fed with a gallon of water + minerals each plant. - temp: 25C - water: approx. 3,75L per plant, PH6.8, 350 PPM - run off: 750 PPM for Banana Kush and 600 PPM for Glue Gelato - RH: 55% D36 (27/12/2020): I readjusted some ties because they are stretching like crazy! The buds are forming and more pistils are showing. - temp: 25C - no water - RH: 53% D37 (28/12/2020): Still readjusting the ties and removed leaves today. The lights are now at 24 inch and plants receive around 495-525 PPFD (38 0000 to 40 000 lux). I'm aiming to go above 600 PPFD in the next week. I will check how they react with more light. - temp: 24C - no water - RH: 54% D38 (29/12/2020): I gave approx. 3.5 L of water per plant. I used 3/4 of the recommended dose for transition week. - temp: 25C - water: approx. 3.5L per plant, PH 6.4, 720 PPM - run off: 900 PPM and PH6.8 for Glue Gelato; 800 PPM and 6.8PH for Banana Kush - RH: 54% D39 (30/12/2020): Removed more leaves under canopy. - temp: 25C - no water - RH: 54%

D40 (31/12/2020): Second week of flower and everything is good! They are still stretching a lot. I'm not continuing LST with ties but just by tucking and banding stems and leaves. I will continue to slowly remove leaves and small bud site under canopy that will never receive enough light. The higher buds receive around 520 and 600 PPFD (40 000 to 46 000 lux) for a DLI (for 20 hours of continuous light) around 37,44 and 43,2 moles of photons which is perfect. This Glue Gelato phenotype is weird as it grows weird leaf structure since a couple of weeks. Probably since I discovers a nutrient lock in the soil with too much nutrients. Banana Kush is super healthy and look amazing! 😎 - temp: 25C - no water - RH: 56% D41 (01/01/2021): They are stretching like crazy so it's a sign of good health! I fed with nutrients 3/4 of the recommended dose for transition week. I gave more then a gallon approx. 4L per plant. I did remove leaves today but no bending. I want to let them grow in height. - temp: 25 C - water: PH6.3, 820 PPM approx. 4L each plant - run off: PH6.7, 1150PPM for BK ; PH6.8, 1120 PPM for GG - RH: 54% D42 (02/01/2021): Nothing special today. I try to turn the plant 180 degree each day to make sure fan is blowing air on every side of the pot and plant and to make sure light is distributed evenly. I also swap the two plants every 2-3 days to make sure again that the plants receive light equally. I continue removing leaves and small buds site under canopy. - temp: 25 C - no water - RH: 54% D43 (03/01/2021): The lights are now at 16 inch from the top buds and just 12h later I saw a big difference. They are now ready to receive intense light 😎. They receive approx. 650 to 780 PPFD and even 900 PPFD for the top buds (50 000 to 60 000 lux, and even 70 000 lux). I will check closely in the next days to make sure the buds and leaves are not burning. I fed only Max Minerals full recommended dose for transition week. I gave more then a gallon approx. 4L per plant. I placed a round stake in each pot for when the buds will be heavy. - temp: 25 C - water: PH6.3, 460 PPM approx. 4L each plant - run off: PH6.8, 1550PPM for BK ; PH6.9, 1480 PPM for GG - RH: 55% D44 (04/01/2021): Nothing new today. *** UPDATE ON BUGS: I did not see any more larvae since last week. It's the 3rd week since adding nematodes and after adding 2 pouch per plant, doing 2 insecticidal soap treatment and removing 1 inch of soil, I feel like I did control the infestation. I still see some mature fungus gnats on sticky traps but nothing alarming. Increasing air flow and reducing RH also helped a lot for those bugs. - temp: 25 C - no water - RH: 55% D45 (05/01/2021): Nothing special today. I let them grow without new LST. I did not removed leaves since a couple of days. They are growing in height and that's what I want. I might do a defoliation in beginning of week 7 (or week 3 of flowering). I want to reduce RH in the tent under 50%. When the lamps are off, I have a lot of difficulties to maintain a proper RH for flowering stage. During night, it is around 57% with the 4 inch AC Infinity inline fan blowing full speed. RH in the room where the tent is is around 35%-40%. With 5 plants in the tent (2 cannabis, 2 tomatoes and 1 mint) it will be more difficult to control RH in the next week with flower and fruit growing bigger. I ordered a small dehumidifier on Amazon to help me reduce the RH. - temp: 25 C - no water - RH: 53% D46 (06/01/2021): I fed today half of the recommended dose for transition week. The PPM of the run off from last fed was high so I want to cut a bit on nutrients. The run off of both plant is down under 900PPM which is what I wanted 👍 -temp: 25 C - water: PH6.3, 480 PPM, approx. 3.5L each plant - run off: PH6.9, 860PPM for BK ; PH6.9, 766PPM for GG -RH: 52%

D47 (07/01/2021): Third week of flower and I did a proper defoliation. It's the first time I remove that many leaves. I saw some leaves with purple/red stem. I read that it can be light stress, PH issue or not enough nutrients. I will keep an eye on that but I think they will need nutrients for flower week next time I give water. The Glue Gelato is slowly starting to show trichomes 😍 - temp: 26 C - no water - RH: 53% D48 (08/01/2021): I fed nutrients with 3/4 of the recommended dose for early flower. Post defoliation: both plants look like they did not react to it. I read yesterday that maybe it was a bit too late in flowering stage to do a defoliation for an auto flower grow. It seems to be a grey zone when we are talking about training for auto flower plants. It may slow down there growth. I don't have enough experience to tell if it will slow down. What I can say is cannabis is really a resilient plant so I don't think it will affect them, will see but so far so good! Banana Kush is starting to show trichomes to! 😍😍 - temp: 25 C - water: PH6.25, 820PPM, approx. a gallon each - run off: PH6.8 and 949PPM for Glue Gelato; PH6.8 and 846PPM - RH: 52% D49 (09/01/2021): Nothing special for today. - temp: 25 C - no water - RH: 52% D50 (10/01/2021): I gave half of the recommended dose for early flower. Instead of giving tap water between nutrients feed, I will try to give lower concentration of nutrients. The idea is to control run off PPM and provide all the nutrients every time I give water. Will see how the girls react. - temp: 25 C - water: PH6.4, 580PPM, less than a gallon each - run off: 6.7PH and 1000PPM for Glue Gelato; 6.9PH and 1010PPM for Banana Kush - RH: 52% D51 (11/01/2021): Nothing special today. There is no sign of nutrient burn from last feed. So I might give nutrients next feed to. I will start writing the temperature and relative humidity for light ON and OFF. Since I'm trying to reduce relative humidity at night, I think it's a good thing if I'm starting to take data separately. - temp: 25-26 C light ON ; 21-22 C light OFF - no water - RH: 51-52% light ON ; 51-55% light OFF D52 (12/01/2021): I gave 3/4 of the recommended dose for early flower. PPM of the run off is high so next feed will be with tap water only. In the last weeks I read a lot on vapor pressure deficit (VPD). I found a lot of different charts with different values. I was a bit scared of developing mold in my garden and because I had bugs issue, I fought on maintaining a low relative humidity. I have a good air circulation (two fixed fan, one oscillating fan and one inline fan with carbon filter) so I will crank up a bit the humidity during lights ON and lower the humidity during lights OFF. All based on an average of different VPD charts I found. - temp: 24-27 C light ON ; 21-23 C light OFF - water: PH6.1, 746PPM, less than a gallon each - run off: 6.7PH and 1320PPM for Glue Gelato; 6.8PH and 1660PPM for Banana Kush - RH: 54-57% light ON ; 50-53% light OFF D53 (13/01/2021): At the moment, Glue Gelato is more frosty than Banana Kush and buds are bigger with more white pistils. Banana Kush look healthier with proper form leaves compare to this phenotype of Glue Gelato which still have crooked and misshapen leaves. Overall, both are growing fast and drinking a lot of water so right now everything is perfect! 🙌😀🙏 - temp: 24-27 C light ON ; 21-22 C light OFF - no water - RH: 53-56% light ON ; 53-56% light OFF

D54 (14/01/2021): First day for week 4 of bloom. I gave them tap water cause last time the PPM run off was a bit high. The PPM run off for Banana Kush today was higher then the run off for Glue Gelato. It's not the first time I see that so I think I can say that Glue Gelato uptake more nutrients compared to Banana Kush. If it become a problem I might consider doing two separate nutrients mix. - temp: 24-27C light ON ; 21-23C light OFF - water: PH6.7, 128 PPM approx. 4L per plant - run off: PH7 and 830PPM for Glue Gelato ; PH6.9 and 1220 PPM for Banana Kush - RH: 55% for light ON and OFF D55 (15/01/2021): I saw some brownish spots on small leaves for Glue Gelato. Last feed, Glue Gelato was the one with the lower PPM run off. I think the brown spots are due to calcium deficiency. Glue Gelato is an heavy feeder, I might give a good dose of nutrients next feed. Glue Gelato PH of the run off was on the high acceptable range. So it might also be a nutrient lock due to inappropriate soil PH. I need to check that closely... - temp: 24-27 C light ON ; 21-23C light OFF - no water - RH: 54% light ON ; 50-52% light OFF D56 (16/01/2021): I fed with 3/4 of the recommended dose for mid late flower. Run off for Banana Kush is still high. I will see how she react but so far she's the one who look the healthier! Maybe she doesn't mind having a ''hot'' soil. It's been 3-4 weeks since I did check the accuracy of my PH meter. I checked yesterday and I was off of PH0.4 (reading higher that it was suppose to be). I have a cheap PH pen so I need to check that often. Maybe the little brownish spot on Glue Gelato is due to incorrect PH in water or soil over the last week. - temp: 24-27C light ON ; 21-22C light OFF - water: PH6.2, 913 PPM less then a gallon per plant - run off: PH6.7 and 1200PPM for Glue Gelato ; PH6.8 and 1700 PPM for Banana Kush - RH: 53% light ON ; 51-52% light OFF D57 (17/01/2021): There's sing of nutrient burn on Banana Kush. It was expected. I consider doing a flush for this gal. - temp: 24-26C light ON ; 21-23C light OFF - no water - RH: 54% light ON ; 57% light OFF D58 (18/01/2021): I mixed 1/2 of the recommended dose of Max Minerals. I flushed the Banana Kush until the run off passed below 1000 PPM. I did not flush the Glue Gelato since there is no sing of nutrient burn. They don't smell that much. When I open the tent, there is a weak smell but when I play with the leaves or shake the stems now I can smell them properly. Glue Gelato have a strong pine-citrus-fruity pungent smell and Banana Kush have a smooth tropical-fruity-candy smell. Both smell soooo good and the buds are starting to look really appealing 😍😋 - temp: 24-26C light ON ; 21-22C light OFF - water: PH6.3, 325 PPM - run off: PH6.9 and 1010PPM for Glue Gelato ; PH6.9 and 920 PPM for Banana Kush - RH: 55% light ON ; 51-52% light OFF D59 (19/01/2021): After 12 days of not removing any leaves today I did removed approx. 20 leaves on each plant. From now on I will continue to remove the leaves that are blocking bud site from having enough light. - temp: 23-25C light ON ; 20-21 light OFF - no water - RH: 53-54% light ON ; 54-55% light OFF D60 (20/01/2021): I gave full recommended dose of Max Minerals, half of the recommended dose of Max Grow and 3/4 of the recommended dose of Max Bud. All base on the recommended dose of nutrients for mid late flower. I was aiming for a lower PPM level then last Banana Kush run off. I dropped de lamp of 1 inch height to be around 13-14 inches from canopy. - temp: 23-25C light ON ; 21-22C light OFF - water: PH6.0 , 775 PPM - run off: PH6.7 and 1200PPM for Glue Gelato ; PH6.6 and 1060 PPM for Banana Kush - RH: 51-52% light ON ; 45-49% light OFF

D61 (21/01/2021): First day for week 5 of flowering. It's incredible how the buds are forming and getting bigger. It easily doubled (if not more) in size in the last 7 days. Since beginning of bloom, I normally gave water every other days. I make sure the soil is dry and the pots feel light when I lift them before giving any water. But it's not ideal cause it means that the plant drank all the water at his disposal and maybe it missed some. I will try a different watering schedule by giving water every 36 hours instead of every 48 hours. I will still make sure the soil his not wet and the pot not heavy (soil full of water) when I will give water. At this stage, they need a lot of nutrients to produce big buds. I will give nutrients every other feeding and only Max Minerals the others. Today I gave 1/2 of the recommended dose of Max Minerals. - temp: 24-26C light ON ; 21-22C light OFF - water: PH6.3 , 329PPM , less then a gallon each - run off: PH6.9 and 1090PPM for Glue Gelato ; PH6.9 and 940PPM for Banana Kush - RH: 50% light ON ; 48-49% light OFF D62 (22/01/2021): Nothing special for today. The lamps are now at 12 inches from higher colas. - temp: 24-25C light ON ; 20-21C light OFF - no water - RH: 50-52% light ON ; 48-52% light OFF D63 (23/01/2021): I gave full dose of Max Minerals and Max Bud and 1/2 of Max Grow. All base on mid late flower recommended dose. Relative humidity % was difficult to maintain low last night. It is normal since I give water more often. I removed leaves to help reduce humidity. Both look and smell sooooo good! 😋 - temp: 24-26C light ON ; 21-22C light OFF - water: PH6 , 940PPM , less then a gallon each - run off: PH6.7 and 1270PPM for Glue Gelato ; PH6.7 and 1100PPM for Banana Kush - RH: 50% light ON ; 55% light OFF D64 (24/01/2021): I gave half dose of Max Minerals. - temp: 24-26C light ON ; 21-22C light OFF - water: PH6.4 , 360PPM , less then a gallon each - run off: PH6.9 and 950PPM for Glue Gelato ; PH6.9 and 1030PPM for Banana Kush - RH: 50% light ON ; 45-47% light OFF D65 (25/01/2021): I'm at day 65 and base on the website I bough the seeds, they are close to harvest. They say 65-75 day from seed. My girls are not ready. I guess maybe 2 more weeks. The trichomes are all cloudy for Glue Gelato and 90% cloudy 10% clear for Banana Kush. I think it is time to start flushing. I will only give tap water at proper PH for the next 10-14 days and keep looking at trichomes. I consider also reducing air temperature and humidity for the rest of the grow. We are getting close! 😍😎 - temp: 24-26C light ON ; 20-22C light OFF - no water - RH: 49% light ON ; 49-50% light OFF D66 (26/01/2021): I decided not flushing today. I gave only full dose of Max Bud. Glue Gelato is getting very frosty! She has approximately 50% white pistils and 50% brown pistils but she keep growing new pistils. Banana Kush is less frosty but thicker and look a bit behind in maturity compared with Glue Gelato. - temp: 24-25C light ON ; 21-22C light OFF - water: PH6 , 440PPM , less then a gallon each - run off: PH6.8 and 930PPM for Glue Gelato ; PH6.8 and 1220PPM for Banana Kush - RH: 48% light ON ; 47-50% light OFF D67 (27/01/2021): The electric breaker where all the equipment of my tent is plug tripped. It took me around 20 min to notice it. During that time the relative humidity % went up around 75%. I don't think it will cause anything bad but I wanted to document it. I started the flush today by giving tap water at proper PH. The tap water of my city is around 130-140 PPM. I always let it sit in a bucket for 24h. - temp: 24-25C light ON ; 20-21C light OFF - water: PH6, 135PPM, less then a gallon each - run off: PH6.9 and 625PPM for Glue Gelato ; PH6.9 and 725PPM for Banana Kush - RH: 48% light ON ; 52-55% light OFF

D68 (28/01/2021): First official day of week 6 in bloom and first official day (second in reality) of pre harvest flush. The smell is strong when I open the tent! It does not take long for the whole room to smell dank and even outside the room. - temp: 24-25C light ON ; 20-22C light OFF - no water - RH: 49-52% light ON ; 49-50% light OFF D69 (29/01/2021): I did a first proper flush today by running approximately 2.5 gallons of water trough the medium. There is still a lot of nutrients in the medium. I might do the exact same flush tomorrow. The PH of the run off is high (around PH7-7.1). This is an other reason to flush again tomorrow. I also reduced the light ON schedule by two hours. So now 18h hours ON and 6 hours OFF. I will continue reducing the ON period until they are ready for a complete dark period. I also try to reduce the air temperature. - temp: 24-25C light ON ; 19-20C light OFF - water: PH6.4, 135PPM, 2.5 gallons each - run off: PH7 and 680PPM for Glue Gelato ; PH7.1 and 560PPM for Banana Kush - RH: 47% light ON ; 48-53% light OFF D70 (30/01/2021): I did a second flush since I was not satisfied with run off PPM of yesterday. Today, the run off PPM is under 300 which is what I wanted. The run off PH is still high with 7.1. Banana Kush is ripening with the pistils slowly turning brown. Glue Gelato look sooooo yummy and I can't wait to harvest it. There is a small color change in some leaves but I'm expecting more in the next days. - temp: 23-24C light ON ; 19C light OFF - water: PH6.4, 125PPM, 2.5 gallons each - run off: PH7.1 and 260PPM for Glue Gelato ; PH7.1 and 250PPM for Banana Kush - RH: 46% light ON ; 46-48% light OFF D71 (31/01/2021): Glue Gelato is changing color. I'm checking trichomes everyday on both girls and no amber yet. - temp: 23-24C light ON ; 19C light OFF - no water - RH: 45% light ON ; 49-50% light OFF D72 (01/02/2021): Well well well...the clock is ticking for those girls. Glue Gelato is now having a couple of amber trichomes. Banana Kush don't have any. Overall Banana Kush has less trichomes and fluffier buds. This girls is not ready yet but I will need to chop her down at the same time has the Glue Gelato because my drying space is the tent I'm growing in. I will try to push the Banana Kush to ripen faster by lifting up the lamp at 16 inches from top bud and by reducing of 2 hours the day period for a 16 hours light ON and 8 hours light OFF. But at least all Banana Kush trichomes looks milky. - temp: 23-24C light ON ; 18-19C light OFF - water: PH6.2, 123PPM, less then a gallon each - run off: PH7.4 and 200PPM for Glue Gelato ; PH7.4 and 287PPM for Banana Kush - RH: 45% light ON ; 40-45% light OFF D73 (02/02/2021): I gave water probably for the last time today. Trichomes on Glue Gelato are starting to amber on top buds. Not a lot of amber but you can see that all the trichomes are starting to degrade by curling down slowly. Trichomes on Banana Kush are not amber at all but they all look milky. Glue Gelato is ready to harvest but Banana Kush need more time. It's tough to make a decision to chop or not since they are not at the same stage of growth. I want to place them in a complete 48 hours of darkness before harvest. 1h less light today for a 15h light ON and 9h light OFF. The lamps are now at 20 inches. - temp: 23-24C light ON ; 18-19C light OFF - water: less then a gallon each - RH: 45% light ON ; 40-45% light OFF D74 (03/02/2021): Glue Gelato is ready for 48h of darkness. I will take her out of the tent and place her in an other room without light. I will try to maintain a proper environment in this room and if it smells to strong or if the condition are not good I will replace her in the tent and both will start the 48h darkness. The idea is to give Banana Kush 2 more days to ripe and swoll more. After 48h, I will chop Glue Gelato and place her in the tent to start drying. Banana Kush will then start her 48h darkness. I don't know if this strategy is good but I will monitor everything closely and react if something is wrong. - temp: 22-23C light ON ; 19C light OFF - no water - RH: 47% light ON ; 43-45% light OFF

D75 (04/02/2021): Glue Gelato has been in the closet for 24h. Banana Kush is ripening everyday. I might place her in the closet with light ON for one more week when Glue Gelato will be chop and in the tent drying. RH% and temperature are fine in the closet at the moment and it does not smell that strong with Glue Gelato inside. That give me an option to continue Banana Kush for more days in it. - temp in the tent: 22C light ON ; 18-19C light OFF - temp in the closet: 18-19C - water: approx. 3L of tap water for Banana Kush - RH in the tent: 42% light ON ; 45% light OFF - RH in the closet: 42-44% D76 (05/02/2021): Glue Gelato has been in the closet for 48h. I will chop her tonight! I will place Banana Kush in the closet with light ON. She needs at least one more week I guess - temp in the tent: 22C light ON ; 18-19C light OFF - temp in the closet: 18-19C - water: approx. 2L of tap water for Banana Kush - RH in the tent: 40% light ON ; 46% light OFF - RH in the closet: 42-44% D77 (06/02/2021): Banana Kush is in the closet and the environment is good at the moment. - temp in the closet: 18-19C - no water - RH in the closet: 42-44% D78 (07/02/2021): Banana Kush buds are getting fat. When I squeeze them I can tell that they are getting denser. She drink less water which is a sign she's getting closer to the end. - temp in the closet: 18-20C - no water - RH in the closet: 40% D79 (08/02/2021): I gave around 3L of tap water. Trichomes still look cloudy with no amber but I can see more of them and they look bigger. - temp in the closet: 20-21C - water: 3L of tap water - RH in the closet: 35-40% D80 (09/02/2021): She get frostier everyday! It's beautiful to see! She definitely have more trichomes than she had last week when she still was in the tent. The trichomes of Banana Kush are not yet at the same stage where Glue Gelato's trichomes was when I chopped Glue Gelato. I'm glad that I waited and that I did not chop both at the same time. - temp in the closet: 20-21C - no water - RH in the closet: 35-40% D81 (10/02/2021): I gave approximately 3L of tap water. She's a beauty but she's not ready. I said one more week last week... I say the same haha one more week! 😅😏 - temp in the closet: 20-21C - water: tap water, 130 PPM, PH7.0 - RH in the closet: 35-40%

The bud are dense and covered in trichomes. Very tasteful in vape (Utilian 722). It taste like creamy berry. The buzz start with a head rush to finish with a body buzz. Sometimes the head rush is a bit to much. I don't know if it's because of this pheno or the genetic or due to a bad flush. Overall I'm very satisfied with my first harvest and I will keep the Glue Gelato to smoke it.

D82 (11/02/2021): Here we go for another week for this beauty. Hopefully it will be the last one 💪😉 - temp in the closet: 20-21C - no water - RH in the closet: 35-40% D83 (12/02/2021): She don't drink as much water as before. I gave 2.5L and it is almost too much. It might be the last time I gave water. Trichomes are still all milky with some amber on top buds. I'm happy cause even the smaller buds seem denser when I squeeze them 😊👌 - temp in the closet: 20-21C - water: approx. 2.5L of tap water, 130PPM, PH7.5 - RH in the closet: 35-40% D84 (13/02/2021): Nothing special today - temp in the closet: 17-20C - no water - RH in the closet: 33-36% D85 (14/02/2021): I checked PPM run off after giving water. I did not check it since a week or so. It was around 400PPM. I'm not sure why but the PPM in the soil seems to have increase even if I just gave tap water at 130PPM for approximately 2 weeks. It's probably why I don't see any fade in the leaves and why they are still green. So the flush on this girl will not be a success 😒. I will try to push her and let more time to fade🙏. - temp in the closet: 18-20C - water: approx. 3L of tap water, 130PPM, PH6.5 - run off: 400PPM, PH7 - RH in the closet: 33-35% D86 (15/02/2021): We are still on cruise control. Waiting for her to show some amber trichomes. - temp in the closet: 17-20C - no water - RH in the closet: 32-36% D87 (16/02/2021): I gave 1,5 L of tap water. She still growing new white pistil on top buds but approximately 90% of the pistils are brown. I will check trichomes tonight. - temp in the closet: 18-21C - water: 1.5L of tap water - RH in the closet: 35-38% D88 (17/02/2021): The trichomes show that she is not ready. - temp in the closet: 18-21C - no water - RH in the closet: 35-37%

D89 (18/02/2021): Copy paste of last week... I think max one week and she is done 😁 I gave around 2L of tap water. Glue Gelato is dry and in jar since one week. I did not move back Banana Kush in the tent since I was sure it was her last week. At this point I should have move her back in the tent. I think being in the closet might have slow her down since there is no reflective wall but at least the environment conditions are good. - temp in the closet: 18-21C - water: 2L of tap water - RH in the closet: 33-35% D90 (19/02/2021): I can definitely see more resin gland forming on buds and can also tell that the calyx are swelling nicely. - temp in the closet: 18-21C - no water - RH in the closet: 33-35% D91 (20/02/2021): I gave 1.75L of tap water. - temp in the closet: 18-21C - water: 1.75L, PH7.5 - RH in the closet: 33-35% D92 (21/02/2021): I checked the trichomes and they are more abundant. It's beautiful to see the buds becoming frostier day by day 😍 - temp in the closet: 18-21C - no water - RH in the closet: 33-35% D93 (22/02/2021): She is starting to show some amber trichomes but not enough. I will let her some days to ripen but she is close to harvest! - temp in the closet: 18-21C - no water - RH in the closet: 33-35% D94 (23/02/2021): I gave 3L of tap water. - temp in the closet: 18-21C - water: 3L, PH7.5, 130PPM - RH in the closet: 33-35% D95 (24/02/2021): Trichomes are all cloudy with some ambers. Due to a timing issue, I will need to chop her this weekend in two or three days. Yesterday I did reduce light intensity to 50% power. She will pass 2 days with this light intensity and then 2 days in complete darkness. - temp in the closet: 18-21C - no water - RH in the closet: 33-35% D96 (25/02/2021): I will not change for week 14 since she is going into darkness tonight for two more days. Trichomes are not exactly where I would like. More ambers would be better but at least they are all milky white with some amber. She's at her peek in term of THC potency. - temp in the closet: 18-21C - no water - RH in the closet: 33-35% D97 (26/02/2021): 24h into complete darkness is done - temp in the closet: 18-21C - no water - RH in the closet: 35-40%

The buds are big but more fluffier then the Glue Gelato. Probably due to a different environment in the last 2 weeks of the grow. That's my mistake. The taste is ok. I smoke in a vape (Utilian 722) and it only taste good for 2-3 puff. After that there is no taste and almost no smoke. I might use all the Banana Kush for edibles.
