hey all, let's do an experiment with budswelling and without ! i know it will not be exact science but i will give some insight if it works or not. i have got 2 C.banana and 2Royal Gorilla on 1 plant of each sort i have done my budswelling so we can compare both strains and the effect at the end of harvest to see if it makes a difference or not. in my believe it makes a difference but i can not prove it maybe this will give an idea if it makes a difference or not. also i have put an video on how i do the budswelling with scissors or with fingers. i prefer to do it with fingers it's a lot quicker then with scissors. You need to do this on al the buds not only on top. Some say you need to do this every week but i only do it after 3or 4 weeks into flowering.

Another good week. Knock on wood. The plants responded very well to drop in the nutrient level. This is the first and second week of the flower cycle. And starting to get some white hairs. They are girls! I decided they needed a haircut and did some major defoliation today. There’s some pictures before and after.

These buds are all dense, frosty, and the smells are just a very sweet thick aroma, of sugary sweet fruits, berries, and citrus, harvested on 10/30/21 these ladies spent 3 weeks in the dry tent at 65F and 60 % RH, then another week in the curing totes, before they were spun and cleaned - I am just blown away with the quality of this harvest!

Always a very pleasing on the eye strain to grow and was surprisingly easy to get a good yield with such a short veg and almost no training. Quality is pretty much 10/10

First feeding going well so far . Day 1 of lst. Lst going well so far.

i moved to new home. i'm a Litlle sad because i have to quit my indoor growing... for another hand i going to Start outdoor way... this plant resist One week of strong wind and Rain.. when weather allows i post a foto! happy grow I found 5 minutes rest on the storm and Pickup the plants on the Woods for safety place... They are strong fighting outdoor... Specially when comming from my. Indoor tent...loloo

After a questionable start, she's up and going, so the grow off is official! I have plugged in some organic items into a Pro Mix HP base to get this lady out of the blocks organically and get that root system spread out through the nursery pot. I fed some wicking cord through the drainage holes to make a sip system, basically bottom watering to deepen the root system development. I layered the soil into the pot so the available nutrients increase as the roots descend. I added a little mycorrhizae in the soil where the seed was placed to get things cooking and used Recharge adjusted to 6.0 pH to buffer my amended starter mix. Now that she's showing a little more vigor, I'm adding a little Kelp, CalMag+, and MegaCrop for her to sip on... A little organo-salt treatment that will make sure she's got all she needs available to allowing her to really blow up!

Everything running smoothly, buds getting bigger and trichomes production increasing. DAY 126 -Molasses PH - 5.84 PPM-914 Solution Temp - 22.4 Watering Volume - 4.1L DAY 129 - Nutes PH - 5.83 PPM- 2620 Solution Temp - 24 Watering Volume - 4L

Tuve improvisar y arriesgar una plaga, con unos guias de sauce que tenia de una poda del jardin, no le logre guiar par a toda la carpa pero me servirara para cosnstrastar los resultados, ya se ven muchos mas tricomas consireblamente.

Definitely ready to get the chop. Flushed for the last 7 days. Ended up with about 12 ounces of buds and 4 ounces of larf. Water curing the larf for edibles

This lil lady is officially flowering. Half way through the week she started growing pistils all over. Switched the lights to 12:12 half way through the week. She recovered from the LST of tying down her top. Room has averaged 85° F / 40% RH with a high of 89° F Ordered larger oscilating fan hoping to get the heat down a bit. Been dealing with fungus gnats in some other plants in the house so I sprinkled ceylon cinnamon on top of the soil, to act as an organic fungicide, and sprayed her down with neem oil as a pest prevention. 💧 Watered: Tuesday May 5, 2020 with 4:1 Water to Hydrogen Peroxide. Installed 6in oscilating fan blowing at the light. Heat is still too high. ~85° average Raised light to 18in above canopy. Shes responding well to the LST and several nodes below the top have now started showing noticible growth.

Hello growers day 56 in the garden with the blue monster auto she’s a beast I love it the weather has been banging she’s loving life I just keep feeding her every 2 days at the moment I’ll give her another week of feed then start flushing her from there that’s it until next week be safe and happy growing 👍

So close to being done. I'm going to holds out for another few days. Trichomes are still mostly cloudy. I want a more sleep assistant and pain reliever effects. The purple is really starting to show. I fertigate or water them 2 to 3 times a day. I have been using a Kleanse formula from Cyco Platinum nutrients in the middle of the day. Feed in the morning and right before lights off. EC in is close to the same as the EC of the runoff. pH of run off is right around 6. Smells incredible, so much more floral smelling than the last grow. I would say it is because of the biocanna bioboost supplement. I didn't use that one as much they last grow. It's expensive, but I think it's worth it. It's basically fermented molasses.

5.27.25. 4th week of flower What’s up growers so plant is doing pretty good after being way stressed out! She’s drinking every day and putting on bud quick! Still have 5-6 weeks of flower do hoping she finishes strong!! Thanks for checking out my grow I appreciate it!

Week 8 Flower Flush flush flush 💦🚽💦🚽💦 It's extremely important to flush for at least 14 days when using synthetic nutes, or any bottled nutes in my opinion. The aim is to make her cannibalize (fade) as much as possible before she's chopped. By doing this, she's using up her stored nutrients, causing the leaves to eventually die. The better the flush the cleaner the smoke 👌💨 even when in an organic set up, the plant needs to be nicely faded before being harvested. Otherwise she's still full of nutrients. I still feel I'll be able to get an even better flush when I eventually make the switch to RO water, as my tap water holds a ppm value of approx 150. It's not too much, but 0 is always better. She was taken down on Day 57 flower, after a 16 Day flush. I didn't want to take her any further as she was quite stressed being so close to the light. So to avoid getting seeds I waited until she had a beautiful fade before giving her the chop ✂️ I always take my girls down about 30mins before the light turns on so there is minimal chlorophyll production in the plant. This is to ensure the best smell, taste and overall burn after drying and curing. A subtle but very sweet-ish tropical fruit skin kind of smell to her. Her buds are super dense and covered in trichomes. I trimmed off all fan leaves and then each branch was hung in my drying box and placed in a cool area. She was dry after 6 days and ready to be dry trimmed and jarred for curing. I'll post those pics with the harvest update! Thanks for following and happy growing! 🐺

Flipped on week 6 12/7

Been feeding MEGACROP since mid week 2 of flower!
