First week under big light, and in big pots. The light is at 50% giving me an average 550umol at 2ft. The ec fans are running about 50%. Total power consumption is around 600w so costing about 0.10 per hour to run.

Hello. This is the end of week 8 and the beginning of week 9 of flowering. This is the start of flushing for these lovely plants. I'll flower these plants to 10 weeks. I also like a few days of dark just before harvest. There's still food left in the medium, so the plants won't starve. I've found measuring the runoff that the first flush is around 750 ppm and the second flush is around 450 ppm and the third flush is around 250 ppm. The plants use up most of the food in the pots and have pulled alot from their leaves. Then it's time to harvest the very clean buds. There is no chemical taste if you flush and you get nice white ash when smoked. I got to say - look at the differences in the plants, wow, looks like 4 different strains. They all smell similar but look quite different. That is a common question on the questions page, why do my plants look so different from the same strain. Keep growing straight. Chuck.

Changed to 12-12 a week ago and she’s into the stretch fully , I’ll need to defol and remove some lower branches and tie it down some more next week . Very stable genetics handling hot temps in her stride . You can already taste the orange when chewing on the leaves , can’t wait for this one to be getting smoked

Día 13 (06/05) Nos acercamos al final de la fase plántula. A ver si ahora empiezan a crecer de forma explosiva! He sido muy estricto con los riegos, dejando que el top hasta el nudillo se seque completamente! Día 14 (07/05) Hago una mejora en la tienda. Hasta ahora tenia intracción pasiva, pero ahora he instalado una turbina para que impulse aire fresco dentro de la tienda Día 15 (08/05) Con el calor que hace me sorprende que las macetas sigan aguantando la humedad, pero al hundir el nudillo sigue húmeda. Mañana haré un riego de nuevo Día 16 (09/05) Relleno el top con sustrato para compensar la compactación y dar mas soporte a las plantas Riego con 300 ml solo H20 - pH 6,2 Día 17 (10/05) Baño de sol de dos horas. Día 18 (11/05) Baño de sol de dos horas Día 19 (12/05) Riego 750 ml H2O + Regulator 0,15 ml/l + CaMg-Boost 0,25 ml/l + Startbooster 0,25 ml/l - pH 6.2 💦Nutrients by Aptus Holland - www.aptus-holland.com 🌱Substrate PRO-MIX HP BACILLUS + MYCORRHIZAE - www.pthorticulture.com/en/products/pro-mix-hp-biostimulant-plus-mycorrhizae

This plant was an absolute dream to. Grow, no issues at all with health of plant, just struggled to tame her as she was a a thick strong climber 💪💪. I'm so impressed with how this turned out, I could have flushed for another 3 days to make it 12days but I needed the space. After The 2 days of dark I was recommended I can definitely say it has vastly boosted her trichomes and the smell when I opened the tent blew my head away 😍😋 Aiming for a 10-14 day hang dry, The 10-12 weeks curing in jars with humidity packs. I will update with a dry bud weight and smoke test 👌 Bud wet weight is just 500g+ Final bud dry weight is 298g. Of juicy resinous purple and orange buds 😍 smells like sherbert and hang dry smoke test revealed a candy sherbert, no banana yet but hoping like the grow it matures with cure process now. Hits eyes straight away, sandy bottom kids, giggles, munchies, fun time with Mrs, bed. Full cycle with this one very happy over here 😉😁💚 FAT BANANA AUTO FROM ROYAL QUEEN SEEDS, big thank you to the team, and the breaders. What a pheno I received. I appreciate you all

Defoliated her a bit. Now I have even canopy but I am concerned if I defoliated too late in the game because this is an autoflower. Only time will tell. Increased her feed frequency to twice a week. Seeing several cola sites. 01/25/23 : Did a second round of defoliation yesterday. She ended up being as bushy as before defoliation. Little concerned that the plant is vegetating but not growing buds. She is about to finish her 7th week. Almost acting like a photoperiod. 01/27/23: Nearing end of week 7. It feels like she is still vegging. I see some flower sites and some pistil hairs but no real bud yet. I am reading that some autos bloom really late. Trying hard to be patient with her and not just flip the lights to 12/12. Will give her couple more weeks to start blooming, if not then I will go to 12/12. The hardest part about extended vegging is light and air management. 😫. Oh the joys of growing your own!!

Hello, fellow cultivators! Week 7 with our magnificent Big Cheese Auto is like witnessing a green monster awaken, and the excitement is through the roof. Massive shoutout to Seeds Mafia for the genetics that keep surprising and delighting. Our green beast is romping through her third week of flowering, and oh my, what a spectacle! It's like she's unleashed her inner monster, growing wild and free. The Autopot system is the backstage pass, allowing her to indulge in a nutrient feast on her terms. It's like the VIP treatment for a botanical rockstar. P-Boost and Topbooster, our dynamic duo, are pulling off some serious nutrient sorcery. Organic nitrogen, L-amino acids, trace elements, and natural stimulants are the secret ingredients to this blooming potion. The anticipation for those colossal, aromatic buds is reaching fever pitch. And there's more to the nutrient party! Say hello to K-Boost, the organo-mineral maturation booster that's about to elevate our Big Cheese Auto's bloom to new heights. This powerhouse contains a symphony of L-amino acids, potassium (K), and sulphur trioxide (SO3), creating a concoction that's nothing short of a maturation marvel. Picture it like a botanical spa treatment. The L-amino acids are the pampering session, promoting a luxurious maturation process. Meanwhile, the potassium (K) is the nutrient chauffeur, ensuring a smooth ride for our buds to reach their full potential. Sulphur trioxide (SO3) is the secret sauce, enhancing the overall yield and end quality. As we venture into the next phase of our green odyssey, K-Boost is here to ensure that our Big Cheese Auto not only blooms but does so with an unparalleled maturation finesse. The anticipation for a bountiful harvest with top-notch quality is now taken up a notch. I've thrown caution to the wind and let her go wild. It's like allowing a creature of the cannabis jungle to thrive in its natural habitat. No holding back, just the unbridled energy of a green beast in bloom. The canopy is turning into a wild tapestry, and I'm loving every untamed inch of it. Our TDS is dancing at a robust 420, and the pH is in perfect harmony at 6.0. It's like a botanical orchestra playing the sweetest tunes, all thanks to the Autopot and the nutrient magic. The leaf-bending spectacle continues. It's like a dance of chlorophyll, creating an even canopy that bathes in the natural light. Defoliation is on the horizon, a grooming session for our wild beauty. Ensuring every bud gets its moment in the spotlight. A heartfelt thanks to Seeds Mafia, Aptus Holland, Grow Diaries, and the phenomenal community. Your support is the heartbeat of this green odyssey. As we plunge into the next week, the excitement is untamed. Our Big Cheese Auto is not just growing; she's evolving into a botanical marvel. I can't wait to see the monstrous beauty that unfolds. Let's continue to cultivate greatness together! Genetics -Seeds Mafia Big Cheese Automatic Light - LUMATEK ZEUS 465 COMPACT PRO

So far it seems to be fine even if the high humidity worries me even if the temperatures are still high then they have stopped growing and will finally focus on the flowers and slowly we recover these small deficiencies

En el transcurso de la 7ma semana hicimos una defoliación general, trasplantes a 16 lts cargando el sustrato con nutrientes de asimilación lenta, enfocados en la etapa de flora, sacamos 2 clones de la parte baja a cada planta y ajustamos el p.H a 6.2. Dejaremos un par de días que se adapten al nuevo espacio y mandamos a florar.

* Starting this week as the others, watering everyday, no deficiencies. * We put out the net and start to filling the canopy with light LST. * Raised the lights higher from 30cm --> 45cm. * Nuts : Gemma crystalize NPK 1 feed per week, rest of waterings with the other formulations.☝️ * In the half of this week, all looks normal. * Some pistils (starting from the previous week) on canopy turning amber, maybe a little earlier so we raised the lights (25k - 43k lux) to avoid any light/heat stress.

I'm not sure why, but I don't like the way she's growing :( I supposed that my plant problem is the over watering. So no I inserted an air pipe directly in the rockwool cube to give more oxygen to the roots and let they get more nutrients. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 Lesson Learned: IN THE NEXT SET UP ADD A STONE WITH AIR PUMP DIRECTLY IN THE BASKET 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 I will leave the pipe all night and see how the plant will look tomorrow. Cross fingers.

Bienvenidos cultivadores de marihuana clandestinos, y también, a los que tienen la fortuna de no serlo!🖐️👨‍🌾 Novena semana de floración para esta planta cultivada en una tierra que no es mía ni tuya, es tierra de nadie, y a nadie le debe nada. Jelly Bananen está dispuesta a darlo todo, tuvo 3 semanas de bloqueo cuando la pasé a floración, ahora ella se resarce y recupera el tiempo perdido, agranda sus bellas colas día a día, se resiste a envejecer, porque aun tiene cosas por hacer y mostrar. Aromas embriagantes lo inundan todo... gran cepa! Hasta la próxima... SALUDOS A TODOS!! ================================= Info de la cepa Jelly Bananen: https://en.seedfinder.eu/strain-info/Jelly_Bananen/Exotic_Seed/ - Genética: Strawberry Banana x Hippie OG (Selección OG Kush) - Madura tras unas 9 semanas de floración. - Floración Interior: 60-65 días. - Su efecto es muy fuerte, completamente indico. ==============
