Day 35 is here. We are a week into flower and most the plants are just starting to hit that flowering stretch. I have been bending them down a little every couple days, but I need to focus on cleaning up some of the bottom branches so we can keep good air flow through the plants. Will work on that through this next week. I haven't done a water change, just been topping off the reservoir with fresh nutrients as they drink it up. Feeding half and half maxigro and maxibloom. Will cut out the maxigro in a couple weeks when I notice their stretch slowing down. I had a plant overflow this week because the drain line is getting full of roots. I noticed a couple roots have made their way into the reservoir already. I set a pump timer to 1 minute on and 20 minutes off so they can drain properly. I would like to make it through the grow without having to mess with the drains, but we will see what happens. I will make some modifications if needed. Other than that everything is running smooth and I hope we have some little pistils to show by next week. Thanks for stopping by ✌️

Big round of defoliation. Very excited to see stretch, they seem to have entered it after a few days delay. Been clearing up larf in rounds as well, they're not quite lollipopped but I've developed my colas. Most smaller tertiary branches are gone, unless theyre sturdy and not going to crowd. instead of completely removing offending tertiary branches, i have left a single node with a single growth tip on each to yield bud. Trying to remove only the weak, malformed growth and stuff that crowds.... want long, thick colas. Recharge, fresh Actively Aerated Compost Tea w/ alfalfa meal, organic cal mag only, sometimes just spring water and cal mag ph'd.

Fed/watered with 1 gallon of the above listed nutrients, every 3 days. (when the growing medium becomes 95% dry) Gave her a light selective de-leafing, to open up the inner bud-sites to more light. The timelapse shows me why I won't be transplanting like this again. (Slow growth/lost time from constricted root mass)

Dolato is looking pretty good didn’t expect a freebie to do so well lol. She is still maturing and trichomes seem to have little ways to ripen so she might need another week or two before harvest. Her scent is not so unique more strong but it’s there, sweet and creamy! Was expecting her to be ready sooner so I’ve been depleting her of nutrients two weeks now. Hopefully she speed up so I can harvest sooner since I’m using the tent for drying with clones, will need to use flowering tent to dry them all together.

Растем! Наконец то бутоны начали бурное развитие, одна девочка очень радует, другие отстают наверное на неделю. Уже чувствую что урожай будет хорошим. Дал последний раз убойную дозу Дельта 9. Надеюсь что сбор урожая будет в первых числах декабря

Swapped the plants this week as I realized I could use the 200w light to cover both the smaller plant and the lower canopy of the larger one more effectively. Hopefully this will allow sufficient light to cover more of the plants, as the lower canopy of the larger plant was 30 inches from the light! Now since I can lower the bigger light to accommodate the shorter plant, I can cover the left side of the bigger one, lowering the light to 23 inches, which is definitely better. The buds don't seem to be filling in quite as quickly this time but they are definitely making progress! I am guessing about another month, but who knows? I'm going to let them take their time and let me know when they're ready. Other than that was a pretty uneventful week, as I'm kind of coming into the final stretch I have stopped the lst and only trim the leaves that are blocking bud sites. They definitely appear more stressed than they have been, with a lot of bright purple stems connected to the leaves, but to me they look healthy enough to make it to the finish line!

BOX: 80x80 - lamp 250W 🌞 Temp: 27°C 💦 RH: 60% 💥 PPFD: 800+ µmol 🌬️ VPD: 1.3 1.4 ⚡ EC: 1.1 - 1.3 It’s been a good week: -Plants moved into the bigger 80x80 box. -Keeping stable climate conditions, which clearly shows in their growth. -Watering split into two portions per 24h – they drink more evenly without stress. -Adjusted LST to keep the canopy flat and ready for the upcoming stretch. Plants are healthy and moving forward nicely 🚀

Real good progress this week. Shes looking lovely 👌🏻 Apologies for the lack of pictures through the week (and quality of what I did manage to get) it's been a mad one for me and I haven't had the time I needed to give full attention to the garden and someone's been tending to it while ive not been able to. She's absolutely loving the shogun range and doing real good on it 👌🏻 Really nice structure and seeing her get her stretch on now

06/07/2024 : almost done, waiting a few days more to harvest the other half. With direct lighting, lower buds are getting purple too. I vaped a 5 days dried sample : of course it didn't taste good yet but there was a noticeable fruity touch and a powerfull earthy one. I experienced long lasting light stone effect, quite surprising for me! I'll recheck after 2 weeks curing. 06/10/2024 : no camera today so sorry for poor quality pics. I trimmed dried buds and got 43g with a decent amount of kief (from trim then shaked) that turned in 3.2g hash. All this just with top buds...😀 Then I checked BB and saw that every upper buds turned purple so I decided to harvest a second time and let all the green material on the plant for another time. I removed all fan leaves and biggest sugar ones, debudded and got 176g wet buds (part 2) that went to drier.

Hi all🧑‍🌾 Welcome to my final 🍌💜👊 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 all❤️💜💚 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 🙏❤️💜❤️ Peace and love brother and sisters ✌️💚🧑‍🌾 Smoke review coming in shortly Links https://2fast4buds.com/seeds/banana-purple-punch-auto https://plagron.com https://www.biobizz.com/ https://fishheadfarms.com/

Fun little week for these ones, was making some more LAB serum and one of my containers was contaminated with a fruit fly and it laid a fuck ton of eggs that turned into maggots. the one container that was still safe is getting made into a cheese and the left overs in that where mixed with the water for this week. Giving it a lovely boost of lactic acid and bacteria. Plants look to be hungry, hard to focus on them outdoors vs indoors and hit the correct PH range plus monitor the runoff for accurate feeding. o well.

Giorno 50 Di Archive Banck già sapevo ma di Grateful Seeds no. Sono italiano e sono italiani anche loro. Hanno girato il mondo cercando strain per lavorare soprattutto sui terpeni.Hanno lavorato 2 anni e mezzo con le piante Zkittlez per trovare le giuste proprietà organolettiche. Incrociano piante di In House Genetics (26mm) e la Strawberry Banana(dna genetics). Appena ho sentito la loro intervista mi sono comprato tutto quello che era disponibile (Zhead, blessed by banana, Orange groovye, frosted madness, guava cake, blue javaz). Non voglio condizionare nessuno ma lentamente mi sto rendendo conto che il 90% di banche semi qua su Grow Diares non sono famose per nessuno strain e soprattutto hanno gli stessi menù da 20 anni se non di più. Cercate il vostro incrocio da una banca semi che in casa ha i cloni. Non comprate le prime cose con il nome che tanto va di moda in questo momento (es Zkittlez, Mimosa, Gorilla Glue ect) perché sono semplicemente nomi inventati e fumate una cosa che non è assolutamente quella!!! Detto questo passiamo agli odori delle piante Rainbow Belts #1 Zkittlez e lime allo stato puro Rainbow Belts #2 Zkittlez e uva Pink Gasoline #1 Zkittlez e pesca (Peach Ozz) Pink Gasoline #2 Gas/gelato(33 Splitter) Barbara'Pie #1 Torta/crema Barbara'Pie #2 Torta/crema/lime Barbara'Pie #3 poco odore ma simile alla #1 Baker Delight Biscotti/crema A settimana prossima 💪 🤞 👊
