@GrowingGrannie, sorry for the late response, been super busy lately since I started working at Amazon! But I'm actually going to buy a tap water purifier, they cost around $40-$50 for a decent one but this next cycle I'll be changing up a lot in the grow room + I'll be doing less plants in the same space but I'll be doing the HST! I'M Finishing up my diary now, was waiting for all the plants to finish before I completed the diary so I can start the next ones

@GrowingGrannie, yea I am having the same problem with the shop I buy my seeds from, they sold me that male plant & I was pissed, I'm just glad I noticed before it was able to pollinate the females :face_with_rolling_eyes: then I also bought some CBD Respect 4 Gorilla from ExpertSeedBank & so far I've only grown the two but they're both different, one has long skinny pointed leaves while the other has short fat pointed leaves! But both are looking very good so far, so I can't complain too much! I did Harvest some of the Banana Kush, not all of it was ready but very close, probably be harvesting the rest in the next few days

@Xavierfourtwenty, One plant still has nothing but white pistils but the other has tons of orange pistils and that's the one I harvested the top third of ... I'll tell you, once this whole grow is done with, I'm going to go comment on MSNL's website about their seeds - there has been INCREDIBLE inconsistency and I'll not buy from them again. Of five seeds, only 4 germinated (not complaining)... two of the seeds (we'll call them #1 and #2) grew to over 50" and went into flower in week 5... #3 and #4 haven't gotten taller than 22" and went into flower in week 4 ... #1 is the one with all the orange pistils now but #2 is JUST starting to show them... #3 is all jammed up - no stretch at all but flowers look dense and frosty ... #4 stretched a bit, has good flowers but not one friggin' tricome on the entire plant (I'm pitching it)... AND I TREATED EACH ONE EXACTLY THE SAME!!! As I said, the inconsistency is maddening!

So I noticed that you said you were going to start harvesting today, but then I noticed that you still have White Pistils all over, if that's the case it's not ready. Just a suggestion but hopefully you haven't already done so but you should wait just a bit longer, mine pretty much looks just like yours but I'm going to have to wait for the end of the week before it is ready! My Banana Kush is ready now but I'm actually going to starve it for a day or two to soak up anything that may be remaining in the soil! But seriously, I'd wait just a bit longer if possible :crossed_fingers:

@GrowingGrannie, so just opened up the grow room & the Amnesia Haze looks to be making a come back, it's been weeks now since I've seen any actual growth from but I just might get a little harvest from it after. Now as far as the CBD, both plants are looking fantastic, I couldn't be happier with the outcome & I was so concerned for weeks since it didn't actually start flowering until 4 weeks into the 12/12 schedule! Both have 11 point leaves & one I actually found a 13 point leaf, never knew that was even a thing!

@GrowingGrannie, hmmm, that's interesting... I tried flushing too! Turns out my pH & my PPM meters are working just fine, it was actually the nutrients I was using that are bad, I guess it's not a good idea to mix feeds even if they are from the same manufacturer :man-shrugging: but yea after doing my flush they actually become much worse than before the flush, so I did just pH balanced water w/Magical only & it seems to have helped a little but not much! I was thinking I'd be harvesting the Tangerine Dream soon but it started growing even more, the buds are already huge most of them 6+ inches however the Banana Kush probably needs another day or two & she'll be ready to hang :grin: can't wait, the whole damn house smells AMAZING! Poor kids are probably going to school smelling like a skunk :joy:

Just wanted to duck in here and say I had a problem of yellowing leaves on the two Tangerine Dreams I've got that I'm NOT including in my diary - very strange since I've treated them exactly the way I'd treated the two older plants which are monsters... I thought the problem was nitrogen toxicity (which I've now learned was exactly the OPPOSITE problem)... Anyway, I tried to flush, didn't do squat - made the problem worse - waited until it was SUPER dry and then started a stronger feed regime... the yellowing has now all but disappeared (I got rid of all the yellow leaves but no new ones have appeared) and both are starting to look like they're halfway happy... at least they're producing good looking buds and they'll have a decent harvest - but nothing compared to my first two ladies. I'm not stressing... They'll give me what they can and I've, AGAIN, learned a lot of lessons. Good luck! Are you plannning to harvest the Tangerine Dream next week?

@GrowingGrannie, the CBD finally started flowering, that should be ready for harvest around the same time as the Amnesia Haze if not sooner :grin: both the CBD plants have 11 point fan leaves & one of them actually has 13 points, never seen a leave have 13 points before

@GrowingGrannie, thanks. Yours is looking great too! I can't wait, another weeks & I should be about ready for harvest on the Tangerine Dream, Banana Kush needs a week longer & the Amnesia Haze has about 5 weeks left.

Looking good!!

@Ganja4Show, Tangerine Dream only has 2 weeks left, but the Amnesia Haze still has a good 5 weeks of Flowering to go :grimacing:

@Ganja4Show, yea on a budget forsure & well the buds look good but the rest of the plants not so much, all the leaves on the Tangerine Dream are dying off & the Amnesia Haze is starting to do the same!

@Xavierfourtwenty, Can't really compare you use 50% of the wattage I have. your plant looks nice and healthy and your leaves are frosty as well. you definitely on the right track, keep pushing:muscle:

@Ganja4Show, you're grows look much better than mine but thanks, I'll take that as a sign I'm doing something right! :sunglasses:
