C.Banana Zamnesia under QB 135W

@Quexos,well for me it's no problem because i like more the high feeling then the stoned. so i will have 1 C.banana good matured and the other more virgin weed . all good for me :-)

@Bluesbreeder, I understand. I guess you could move the carbon filter, but if your set up is anything like mine, it would take hours to undo all of the parts. It just isn't worth it. Maybe for a future grow you could build a drying box that has some sort of filtration. The biggest difference will be the type of high. The one that isn't quite finished might have smaller, less dense buds, but I'd guess not. Trichomes would definitely not be as mature so that will effect the type of high, but probably not potency unless the plant is really far away from finishing. It really depends on how far away the less mature plant is from harvesting.

@Quexos,over here growing is not legal so i need to watch out my neighbors don't smell something :-) when drying

@Quexos,well yes that's why i'm running the same diary again with 2 gorilla's and 2 C.banana so we can check if it makes a lot of difference.

@Bluesbreeder, How about a side by side test grow?

@Quexos,also known as backbuilding or bud pinching. i used this on my Ultimate grow and on Cinderella Jack . for this grow i did not use it but i'm going to use it again. had good results with them but it's hard to prove it really works.

@Quexos,well i’m guessing this will be more. The buds are very dense! When i got her out of the tent 1 of the plants collapsed under the weight from the buds. Last evening i got leaves from the inside of the bud and under the microspope they whete all milkey so i decided to harvest her. I think next weekend i will post the harvest week with the dry weight. Looking forward to tasting it :-)

@Bluesbreeder, I did a little reading about your strain after I posted my reply to you. From what I read, your plants should've been finished. A lot of the pictures looked similar to yours. Your strain sure did have a tangled lineage. On my last two grows I got about 17% of my wet weight.

@Quexos,i took a closer look today little deeper in the bud and they were all milkey so i harvested her. i removed my week 18 from my diary so i can post the harvest week. in a few days i will post the results with wet and dry weight. wet weight was 828 so i'm guessing around 200 dry!

@Bluesbreeder, On my last grow I did a last flush then did a 3-day dark cycle. Then I did a wet trim, and initial weighing. Next I hung the bud stalks to dry on a hanging rack in my grow tent with 2 computer exhaust fans and a humidifier. They were dryish after 4 days. Then I did a dry trim and put them in jars. I just did the final flush to my current grow. It is in timeout Carrie style.

@Quexos,what i read about it is that the plant would make more trichomes in the dark period because it thinks it will die . i'm not really sure if it works and read about 48/72 hours in complete darkness. what do you do? and do you see a difference?

@Bluesbreeder, I did a dark period last grow, and I'm doing a dark period as we speak on my second grow. I also have read of a lot of other growers using the dark period method. I'm not sure exactly why you give the plants a dark period before cutting them down. I know mother nature never schedules her solar eclipses for harvest season. Lemmings will be lemmings!😉

@Bluesbreeder, I used Flawless Finish on my last grow. I think I only used it once though before I harvested. I'm still not sure about adding nutes during the grow, especially during flowering. Finding the right frequency is difficult. Last grow I gave nutes probably 3-4x a week . This time I'm only feeding once a week.

@Quexos,no i flush them at the end with flawless finish. but i ment that once i had some problem with a plant and about 3 weeks into flowering i flushed the plant because it looked like a deficiency and by flushing it the plant got a lot worse then before. i always flush the last week before i harvest.

@Bluesbreeder, True Dat! I'm not sure what you mean by worse. When you stop feeding nutes at the end of your grow, your plants will start taking nutes from the plant itself. They start to "fade", or look poorly, as the nutes are used up from the plant. It doesn't affect bud formation, or potency in a negative way.

@Quexos,hahaha well with 1 house between us lives a cop .so i don't want to take a risk that he wakes up in the morning goes to his window, takes a deep breath and smells the scent of drying buds 😬

@Bluesbreeder, Yeah, I didn't have an answer for the smell either. My wife was less than pleased with me when she woke up in the morning and the bedrooms and hallway smelled like a dispensary.

@Quexos,hey i dry my buds in the same tent. i don't have the space to do it anywhere else and also for the smell. so my tent is my only option.

@Bluesbreeder,😂😂😂

@Quexos,well i think i need to put some stick in the pots for support ! it looks like some buds are getting to heavy for some branches . i always take the smallest plant out to give them water and have some room but its getting harder and harder not to move to much and make them brake. but i like big buds and i can not lie :-)

@Bluesbreeder, It certainly looks like it. I'm going to say what a great FIM job you did!😎

@Quexos, i'm going to see what happens with it the next days. it is indeed some weird growth but hey if there are buds growing :-) no problem

@Quexos,i can wait :-)

@Quexos,well i broke it myself :-) it was getting to high so i supercropped it. maybe i was not clear in my message. i'm very curious how the buds will develope . the stretched stems are also filling up nice so let see in a few weeks what the harvest will be.

@Stick,thanks but i don’t like it that much . It seems streched and then the buds won’t be compact ! But we will see the end result in a few weeks . If the smoke is good and the potency that’s the most important.

@Quexos,i'm really looking forward to this grow ! should be both real strong strains !

@Ggluee,hey i'm using Quantum boards 135W and yes i use 135W on 2 plants. i bought the quantum boards from this store https://horticulturelightinggroup.com/collections/kits my tent is 80x80/180 cm and it's great to have 4 plants in it. on my last diary i got more then 400 gr with this setup and 4 auto cinderella jack's
