For about a week now the nights have gone 12/12 I put them at 1000w in the beginning but they became too hot as they grew taller and started burning the tops of my plants. I switched the lights to 750w until i finish setting up the inline fans bringing in the natural cool air from outside. im hoping that way the lights wont burn my babies. With some help I did some light, minor "lollipopping" and defoliation on all plants. I want to see how the plants react then next week I may continue. So far the plants are enjoying their new feeds.

Harvest day 76 Harvested due to a single bud at the top having mold, the rest was fine tho, checked really good and there was nothing else. Considering all a OK grow, pretty bad for me but OK, I just wished I had discovered earlier that my EC probe needed to be calibrated and showed double EC values. After my first Mephisto grow I was like "OK that was really really good" and now after this one considering my mishaps I am convinced that the hype around Mephisto is because they really are that good. This was also a test for the rockwool cube stacking + flooding it every 4 hours, will do that again, seemed to work great and easier to clean and rebuild than my NFT build, also starting plants is easy peasy just stick the bean in and wait. This was also a test for my first 24/7 grow, will probably not do that again and give the plant rest at night, the plant seemed to want a night cycle as seen in timelapse even tough it was at 24/7 from the beginning. Will report back when drying is done in about 2 weeks, there will also be a timelapse of that :)

Last week we noticed one of the ladies had begun to show sex. A couple calyxes with barely visible white hairs coming out of them. Seeing as there's no electricity where the garden is located we opted for a 1500 lumen LED lantern, that we turn on at 11:pm every night for about 40 minutes to and hour. This seemed to have done the trick as no more hairs have been seen and the vegging process is back on track.

Once the pistols started showing I swapped to 5 ml of tiger bloom and 2.5 grow big and 2ml big bloom ( all by fox farm) she is looking great and I hope to continue to spiral the main stem in a spiral to save room and allow maximum photosynthesis to take place

Week twenty-two is officially done on the Pineapple Upside Down Cake. This week is a turning point, marking the end of vegetative growth and the start of the flowering transition. I decided to switch the light cycle to twelve-twelve. Initially, the plan was to wait for a stronger recovery, but the reality is simple: it wasn’t happening. The plant was given roughly three full weeks to acclimate after stress, and the response stayed limited. Rather than staying stuck in an endless waiting phase, I chose to move forward. This means accepting that flowering may not be extremely vigorous or high-energy. That’s fine. This run is also about observation, learning, and adapting. Flowering was initiated gently, at around three hundred PPFD, to avoid adding more stress. At the same time, I switched the nutrient program to Athena bloom and adjusted the recipe accordingly. The plant has now been under flowering conditions for about twenty-four to forty-eight hours. Over the coming week, I expect to see the first signs of stretch. It’s a bit frustrating, because structurally the plant was doing really well. The LST work created a clean, balanced canopy, and the potential was clearly there. Now the focus is simple. No rushing. No over-correction. Just letting the plant transition naturally into flower and observing how she reacts. Next week will officially mark the first true week of flowering. From there, we’ll reassess posture, stretch, and overall vitality. For now, the plant is left alone to settle into its new rhythm. That’s it for week twenty-two. See you next week.

Stretchy to first node- maybe it needs constant flowering light distance? Slower to grow than other Bruce banner. No issues. Smooth sailing

The ninth week of flowering is now over and the last days of the ladies have begun. The stated 9-10 weeks flowering time is definitely correct. One plant of the Hardcore Zoap was ready a little earlier, but as I want to harvest everything at once, everything is left standing until the majority looks ready. I also preferred to harvest the plants a little more mature than too early. In terms of appearance, I like the Miracle Gushers flowers best, as they have a fine and compact structure. The Banana Creamz seem to be able to develop very thick flowers, whereas the Hardcore Zoap seems to have the lowest yield. I will be able to say more after drying and weighing.
