Hey fellow growers welcome back for week 8 update of my critical purple and pineapple auto grow! Not to much to talk about this week its been smooth sailing with these ladies this week🙏🙏 So the pot elevators that I added last week are freaking amazing! The extra airflow under the pots is helping them breathe and giving me peace of mind against root rot. So if you read last week it was a feed week. This week I fed 3 of 4 plants. As I'm still fighting a deficiency. All four plants are 56 days old total today! 3 of 4 are week 3 of 🌸 and 1 is in week 5 of 🌸 10/25/21 Critical purple #2- Started flushing😁 Water Ph 6.2 175 Ppm 72.3°f Other plants 3ml cal mag 2ml micro 4ml bloom 1/2ml ph down Ph 6.33 658 Ppm Solution temp 71.2°f Still feed/Water every four days at 1gal/plant. I'm going off of pot weight mostly but it seems like a gal every 4-5 days and they are happy with it. Critical purple #1- So this lady is packing it on quick and starting to put off a luscious aroma like her smaller sister! She was slow in veg but has now passed both pineapple auto's in flower! This plant has literally been sitting in the back corner all quiet minding its own buisness just thriving. I do believe she has finished growing as no change has occured in height since last week. Measured 28" tall Critical purple #2- This shorty is developing nicely! With this being this little ladies 5th week in 🌸 The aroma this lady is throwing out is powerful!! She is showing a few amber pistols but trichomes are clear and still developing I'm still thinking about two weeks out. That's why I have begun flushing this lady! Guys I'm so excited this will be my first finished plant of both grows going and first plant I've ever grown to even flower! With this being said u know it she has become my 🌟 of the week!!👏👏👏 No change in height this week measured 18" tall. Pineapple auto #1- So last week I measured 32" tall well I was wrong I measured the wrong bud this plant is 39" long making her my biggest plant ever to date! She seems to be going rather slow in flower like not packing on bud as well as the others. How can the biggest plant have the smallest flowers and the smallest have the biggest flowers?! Hopefully she will come around. She may have stressed with the branch snap. Pineapple auto #2- This lady is my 😈 again this week. She is still fighting a magnesium deficiency. Even with the cal mag she is still spreading to other leaves. I did recover her from nitrogen deficiency. Even with the deficiency she is still producing bud nicely. Measured this lady out to be 37" tall. I would like to Thank all the growers for taking time away from your own beauties to read about mine. I really do enjoy my time on here viewing your diaries and learning with you all. I just have a passion for this and wanna do the best I can for my ladies. So if you see any improvements that I can make or suggestions u wanna make, or even just to say hi hit me up! Well till next week Best of luck and Happy Growing!😎🌱💚💪💪 🌟Psss...

approx day 50: Another week of veg and settling in to the NFT tanks for the girls this week. I am happy with their progress with adjusting to constant feeds and there are no signs of being over fed, burnt, starved etc... GG# has shown the best growth followed still by the Wedding cake then a way behind the Ghost Og. I have given them a slight strip out of any tips I know wont make it to the canopy. They look a lot less clustered now so the light could hit the every strong growth site. lets see how another week does them

June 28: Sunday Punch EV continues to impress with its rapid growth. I love the late veg stage where plants grow more than an inch per day. June 30: two inches in two days. July 2: hot today at about 33C.

Week 3. They have been topped and light defoliation happens on the first day of this week. One more week then we flip.... Should be very interesting to say the least.. Terps aren't as strong as the Grape Beyond but these plants look just as strong.

Hi all 🧑‍🌾 Welcome to my 🍌💜👊 week update. Hope everyone keeping well and having a good week. Thank you so much for your support on this bananas journey 💜💚💜💚 I am so happy to see how girls are developing in recent days. It's seems that Athena finally stopped her stretch and hoping that Xena will follow her sister very soon. Buds are gaining weight and size rapidly. Lots of nice colours and tonnes of trichomes on those buds already. Week 10 Dec 18-24 Dec 18-19 Mainly observation. Xena is still stretching like crazy. both girls are developing beautifully. Dec 20 First watering for this week. 7.5 ltr beetwen both. Runoffs PH's Athena 6.2 Xena 6.3. Dec 21 Due to lack of light at lower parts of conopy decided for another selective defoliation, lowered a bit tallest branches with colas dangerously close to light by tieing them to netting. Couple cm will make a huge difference here. Could not clear well at the back wall of the cabinet due to limited access.I'm very happy with final result. Dec 22-23 Joyful observation of my 🍌💜👊girls development 🧑‍🌾 Dec 24 All is looking great. It's seems that stretch is finally stopped. Girls looking healthy and happy. Second watering for this week. 8 ltr beetwen both. Both runoffs PH 6.2. It's the end of this week. Happy Xmas everyone 🤶🎄❄️🎁☃️✌️💚🌲🎅🎄 Stay tuned for new week update ✨🍀✨✌️💚

Room setup rundown, examples of bud, et al in pictures... Seedlings/Clones lights - Viparspectra XS1500. Vege lights - Mars Hydro FC-4800 Flower Lights - 650w 3400K 1900umol/s PAR, (3) 226w DIY 2900K 630umol/s PAR (678w and 1890umol/s), Substrate - 50/50 sphagnum peat moss and vermiculite in 5-gallon pots Climate Control - Luckily, the lights, winter and normal furnace use all equate to a decent temperature, though a bit on colder side in in vege phase, sadly. Humidifier is needed early and later a dehumidifier is needed when canopy develops. I only grow in the winter months. Irrigation - do not use the emitters in this diary. They suck a big fat dick to skip a line to suck a bigger dick. Use the pressure compensating type. https://growdiaries.com/diaries/232811-strawberry-cookies-og-r1-cherry-diesel-bbgs-ego-epg-ebg-grow-journal-by-001100010010011110/week/1366923 -- use something similar to those. They come in different shapes, too. Basic process The little light takes care of seedlings in 2.5" wide seedling pots until first up-pot. The 1-gallon pots fit well under the FC4800 in a 4x4 tent until day 21 after sprout. I plant 150% or more of what i need, so i can kill the weak without concern. The goal is for every plant that makes it to the 5-gallon up-pot being capable of producing a minimum of 160 grams with a maximum of a 35-40 day vegetative phase. Third up-pot is into 5-gallon nursery pots and now under the 3 DIY lights and the 650W light in the big tent for a couple more weeks of vege. An irrigation system in the big tent saves a lot of time. One scrog for training and another for support, just in case. Reverting back to a more systematic approach to canopy composition moving forward. About 2.3 colas per sq ft and 8 primary colas per plant. Yields were similar when over-crowding and being less systematic, but the proportion of less dense nugs is greater and trim time is needlessly elevated because of that fact. I was very controlling about this the first couple years but got away from it for far too long at this point. Drying / Curing - Into mesh racks for 9 days. I wet trim and cut down to similarly sized buds for even drying. Temps are controlled around 68F and RH is set to 60%. Then into some 5-gallon buckets with gamma seal lids and (3) 2-way 67g boveda humidipaks (58% or 62%) in each bucket - 1 at bottom, 2 at top. Temp/RH probe confirms that they hold the RH steady at 60-63%. Cost - 0.33 cents (USD) per gram produced. This includes an accelerated depreciation expense for all equipment used, fertilizer, water, electricity for all equipment used, new filters and other yearly purchases - bti, ph strips, sticky traps, etc. I'm a finance guy, so these numbers are comprehensively accurate and purposely err slightly on high side of cost. The only facet not included is the cost of my labor.

Week 11 - Lemon Cherry cookies Auto the smell on these enhanced by 60% in the last couple days. This will be the last week of flower I’m going to let the pot dry another day. Then it will sit in 48hrs of darkness before I karate chop them. This has be the hardest decision on when to chop. It’s very unique how both plants look very different The purple one smells exactly like lemon cherry candy while the multi colored one smells like a lemon Cookie. Happy growing good luck everyone !

02/24/25 - Short Facts: - Plant is looking horrible, quite many leaves have necrosis -- had to cut many off - VPD increased to 1.2, but I can only get it up to 1.1 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- So, what is there to say? I haven't had as much time lately, so I haven’t been keeping a close eye on the plants in general—especially on the 1:Walt. But a few weeks ago, I noticed that something was wrong and concluded that it had to be a sulfur deficiency. So I bought Epsom salt, which contains both sulfur and a lot of magnesium. And here was my first mistake: I misdiagnosed the deficiency. My next mistake was using way too much Epsom salt—far more than I should have. That was a big mistake, which only made things worse. This is how the plant started to look like, but unfortunately, I caught it too late—like I said, I was quite busy. It was so obvious that something was going wrong. The leaves at the top of the plant looked worse and worse by the day. So I did some research and came to the following conclusions: - I misdiagnosed the problem. It was never a sulfur deficiency but actually a manganese deficiency. The small spots all over the leaves later became necrotic, eventually killing some of them. - By adding too much Epsom salt, I disrupted the balance between calcium and magnesium. This inhibited calcium uptake, leading to the symptoms of a calcium deficiency as well. I bought some "micronutrients" that do contain manganese and I watered it in and also sprayed the foliage. Right now, the plant looks so bad that I don’t know if she’ll be able to finish flowering or if I’ll have to do an emergency harvest. The next big problem is that I won’t be here for about ten days, starting on Wednesday next week. So yeah... not good.

Finally harvest time arrived 🤗 It’s been a great run, though I had to improve a lot along the way. But as usual there was a way to get things done and finished up😎 After a long heatwave I decided to chop the whole tent, just a bit before I actually wanted to. But I see amber trichomes and heavy buds, so I think it’s safe to chop now, so here we go. 🤩 Can’t wait to taste this after so long watching over it🤤 More details to come.

Well between the gnats, and ph issues I think she came out great. Great smell. Frosty buds. Will upload a harvest video if it let's me. The P4000 light from Viparspectra worked great.

Harvest day has finally arrived for my Frostbanger Auto, and I’m very happy with how this run turned out. She finished at 69 days from seed and impressed me from start to finish. Throughout flowering she developed a strong, sweet aroma that became richer and more noticeable every week. By harvest time, opening the tent released an amazing smell that filled the entire room. The buds developed beautifully, with excellent frost coverage and plenty of sparkling trichomes covering the flowers and sugar leaves. Visually, she became one of the prettiest plants I’ve grown, showing great structure and dense, resin-coated buds. Final wet weight came in at 230g, which I’m very pleased with. The plant stayed healthy, responded well throughout the grow, and rewarded me with a solid harvest and outstanding bag appeal. Overall, Frostbanger Auto was a pleasure to grow. Great aroma, heavy trichome production, beautiful buds, and a satisfying yield. Now it's time for drying and curing, and I can't wait to see how the final quality develops over the next few weeks. Final stats: 🌱 Strain: Frostbanger Auto 📅 Harvested: Day 69 ⚖️ Wet Weight: 230g ❄️ Trichome Production: Excellent 👃 Aroma: Sweet, strong, and very pleasant 🌿 Overall Impression: Beautiful plant with great resin production and a rewarding harvest ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very enjoyable grow from start to finish

Day 95 / FL day 15, Gave both plants a heavy defoliation to allow light into all bud sites. I think I'm pushing my luck with the amount of stress I've been giving these plants. But I also think they can take it. Only time will tell. Day 98 / FL day 18, Plants have recovered well after heavy defoliation. Lots of new leaf growth. Hopefully this will help to increase nug size. Day 101 / FL day 21, Topped dressed plants with a 3/4 inch layer of living soil for a little bit of extra nutrients. Waiting until week 5 of flower to add another round of Gaia Green dry amendments.

Day 59, 17th of November 2021: Well, not much to mention but the most important: Pistils are coming so the flowers are on the way!!!!! Set up is the same nothing has changed: ViparSpectra XS2000 is on full power which is 240W so 100% capacity. Ventilation: 12 hours period when the lamp is on it switches 1 hour on and after one hour off mostly to keep the temperature and of course because of fresh air flow. When the lamp is off it switches on in every 2 hours for 15 min at the same time with the extraction fan. The extraction fan is on 12 hours when the lamp is, and then it switches on in every 2 hours for 30 min. That's all a bit more water for them from today also. Humidity quite the same approx 50%, temperature as well approx 26-27 Celsius. Fertilization remains the same since last week, the BioBizz family raised up to be 2ml/L each so it is like 2ml/L of BioGrow, 2ml/L of BioBloom, 2ml/L of TopMax... see the ratio above. The schedule of the fertilization has not changed happnes 2x a week except epsom salt just 1x a week.

Even though I decapitated 3 inch off the top of this plant by mistake it has still produced a good amount & the quality looks good as well. Will be back with a dry weight and smoke review ✌️ out Growmes 🙏👍
