A step back recently: Started a final flush (2 days in), and decided to start feeding her again - thanks to some great GD input! 250 ppm at re-start and will work my way to 500ppm? She's still rockin' along - like nothing happened. She topped out at 350 ppm without tanking PH, so she is stable here. PH is now swinging down fairly quickly last 12 hours. Drained off 1/3 of reservoir and get reservoir down to 250PPM. 5 days later, major PH swings down again. Mixed another fresh reservoir. I am using Zero Water 5 gallon system, and just realized the PPM coming out was 100, and PH at 3! If I am at 100 today, that means these filters have been shot for a while, maybe since start of my PH issue. There is also interesting information about when zero water filters reach their expectancy. They put out fishy smell and otherwise. I will be watching my filters more often and taking more notes since this ZeroWater 5 gal system is really the way to go if you are only growing a plant or two. Filters are a bit spendy but when you take time, gas, convenience etc. its a no brainer (if the water coming out is zero:) - I get about 15 gallons per filter (175ppm from tap). Day 70. Itโ€™s been about a day since new res change. Steady Eddie at 250 ppm and 6.2. Iโ€™ll let her drink the bucket down a good ways if things remain stable with a drift down. I doubt it though, 5 gallon is fine for 12โ€ autos but at 2โ€™ she really needed 8 gal. Time to up the R&D on the cabinet! Also checked Zero Water again and filter is now putting out 200ppm of 3.0 water. New filters installed! Hope she finishes soon, the top of her canopy slowly getting cooked over the last 10 days. 8" of light distance is too little. PPFD 2000+ at the top, but leaf temps are in the upper 70's. Gotta hit a decent DLI on these lower buds - without nuking the top nugs, right?! As the week concludes, sheโ€™s in a fresh bath, at 250ppm @ 6.0 and running stable again. New water filters installed so zero water variable removed. Last serving of half+ teaspoon of GH dry KB ripening, and will reduce ppm by 25/day until I reach 10-15%. 1-2 day flush, if at all.

Woche 8 fรคngt leider nicht ganz so gut an. Ein Bud hat angefangen zu schimmeln. Dieser musste entsorgt werden. Die restliche Pflanze sieht aber erstmal ganz gut aus. Hoffen dass es bei dem einen Bud bleibt. Die gute Nachricht ist, die ersten Trichome werden Bernsteinfarbend. Ich hoffe ich kann sie bald ernten, denn es steht viel Regen an und das tut den Buds nicht gut. Der Entfeuchter lรคuft jetzt 24/7. ๐Ÿ˜‡ Nรคhrstofflรถsung gibt es nicht mehr. nur noch Wasser mit einem EC von unter 0.2. Das Licht lรคuft auch nur noch mit 65%.

This girl has completely filled the tent up and I dont think shes done stretching yet. I have super cropped a few colas already and I think there will be more of this before it's over. Picked off a few more pollen sacs. She doesn't seem to be producing a lot but I'm sure there are plenty that I haven't found. Shes looking pretty healthy though. Stacking up some buds. Got her on 24 hour irrigation with .5 tsp maxibloom per gallon. Ph running a steady 6. Shes drinking about a gallon a day.

Die erste Blรผtewoche startet. Eigentlich wollte ich vor Einleitung der Blรผte alle Mรคnnchen aussortieren, aber der Plan hat sich wie so oft geรคndert. Zum Ende der Woche habe ich 7 Mรคnnchen aussortiert, es bleiben also 6 Weibchen. Ich habe versucht die entstandenen Lรผcken aufzufรผllen. Es sind 3x Red Mandarine dazugekommen. Leider musste ich die Wurzelballen "anpassen" damit alles passt - mal schauen ob sie den Stress verkraften.

Week 4 flower 4x4 #1 | Scat Queen, Oreoz, (2) Cookies and cream | Hitting a final defoliation to transfer photosynthesis into bud sights as we transition from heavy pistil to calyx + Week 1 flower 4x4 #2 | Scat Queen & GYAT | Daily check ins with defoliation & canopy shaping during this stretch phase Each pheno has been growing different of both Scat Queen and GYAT, I Have a finicky plant of GYAT in the back left #2 4x4.. I'm not gonna stress or sleep on this plant either.. It's reminding me of a slurricane pheno I grew and turned out to be potent with a good unique terpene expression. JUST GOTTA BE PATIENT AND STEADY, KEEP ROCKIN GROWMIES ๐Ÿ˜Ž

Hey mates, I'm happy with my first grow. I'm learning so much. Day 29: I'm looking like a hypochondriac, but for the plants, all I see I think it's a disease. Now I'm seem the older leaves getting yellowing, and gotting some brown/dark spots and saw little flies walking at the soil, I've googled it and can be fungus gnats, what I'm supposed to do? About the pH: I never measured the pH cause I'm using the pH Perfect products of Advanced Nutrients and they say you dont know care about this. But I've started to use mineral water, to see if have some difference. Obvious the mineral water is more puriest and clear than the tap water. Lets see. Day 30: I've did the defoliation on all seeds, but on Seed 2 and 3 I've just removed dead or yellow/brown leaves, and at the Seed 1 I've removed the most of fan leaves, leaving two or three at max. Day 34: I'm happy with these girls, Seed 3 I've did not LST and she have 49cm, Seed 2 I've did a soft LST and she have 45cm and 3 main colas, Seed 3 I've did a more little harder LST and she has only 33cm and I think has 4 or 5 main colas, I really dont know the exact number cause one of them is a little lower than the 4 others.

Hi all๐Ÿง‘โ€๐ŸŒพ Welcome to my final ๐ŸŒ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ‘Š week update. First of all. I would like to thank you all for such an amazing support on this bananas journey. I am amazed of the amount of love received from community here. Thank you Grow Diaries and Fastbuds for opportuniy to share and grow this amazing genetics. Love you allโค๏ธ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ’š Was looking for strong indica dominant strain and after reading and hearing so much about this one. Just couldn't resist to not give a go. Was a bit worried before planting seeds that my final yield outcome may not be satisactionary as only have 0.26msq and Fastbuds advertising this strain as 450-550g msq but thankfuly my result was way above this scale. My 2 beautiful ladies Athena - right corner lady. She was slighlthly more dominant over entire grow cycle. She got more space on scrog earlier and that's why she developed the most. Xena - left corner lady, I belive that she could outgrew her sister if she just have more space and another week of time. Did not expect her to turn so well on the end. Both girls were put in darkness for 48h before chop. Wet trimmed and hang for a week. Daily jars burbing for 10 days and every 2-4 days now. Weights Wet trimmed Athena 870g Xena 632g Total 1502g Dry trimmed Athena 172g Xena 147g Total dry 319g Bubble hash 6g (37g of trims) I am very happy with this result. In my opinion Banana Purple Punch Auto its a masterpiece. Thank you so much for all the support, likes, follows and comments ๐Ÿ™โค๏ธ๐Ÿ’œโค๏ธ Peace and love brother and sisters โœŒ๏ธ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿง‘โ€๐ŸŒพ Smoke review coming in shortly Links https://2fast4buds.com/seeds/banana-purple-punch-auto https://plagron.com https://www.biobizz.com/ https://fishheadfarms.com/

Leaves started to be more and more yellow. In fact, I don't know why. The nutrients I keep based on the Plagron table. I have few theories. Lack of Nitrogen, Lack of Calcium, End of the life cycle. Who knows. I will add a bit more nutrients.
