whatever it is, it's a pity, but you can't fight with Nature :) as far as I can see from the drone flight, the girls are simply gone :D:D they are under water,.... it's a pity.... it rained a lot during the week, there is a river 300m away which flooded, here is the result: D I see this for the first time in 9 years .... well, nothing new automatic seeds, already thrown into the ground :) so I will wait for new girls :).

Week 1👍🤙👍🌱 The fear of non germination!! I gave the Trichome & Cream an extra week. Nothing happened but nature is funny like that. These seedlings are exploding. Dynomyco is the Bomb.

👻Hello!💀 another week passed by. A week with low-near to 0 stress to get some growing. LSD-25 is in stretch mode 👽but still is compact. Mimosa Cake coming into flower is really! iam stoked to see how she matures 👏 Pink Mist is growing leafs and leafs. I defoliated all plants at the end of this week. Feeding time was in middle of this week. every plant got enough till there was anough drain ~1.5 l with 3ml/l of nutrients. I watered with tap water the days later. happy growing

2nd week of 12-12, last massive defoliations and LST before the bloom. I’ll attend about 10 days and pre flower for others stress. Let’s do it, let’s flowering!

Hi all 🧑‍🌾 Welcome to my 🍌💜👊 week update. Hope everyone keeping well and having a great week😁 Thank you so much for so much support on this bananas ride 🙏💜💚💜💚 Everything still going pretty well. Girls are developing and stretching like crazy. Athena currently Dec 14 90cm and main stem of Xena is not far of this height either. Unfortunately noticed first signs of calcium deficiency(my opinion) on Athena. Thankfully started feeding both girls with calmag weeks back but the dosage wasn't not enough for Athena. Started small treatment very next day on Dec 11 (see description below) I belive got my baby back on right track. Week 9 Dec 11-17 Dec 11 Watering was planned for Tuesday but due to calcium deficiency decided for a little treatment. Watered both girls with mixture of reduced content of growth nutes by 50% calmag at 1.2 ml per ltr. Reduced solution PH to 6.2 as apperently it's ideal for calcium consumption. Over period 4h I have watered Athena with 5ltr with couple runoffs. Xena 3ltr. Total of 7-10 leaves affected mainly at top colas close to the light. Dec 12-13 Purely observation and all looking well. Of course all affected leaves will progres of showing signs but good news is that growth and development booming and don't see any new leaves with symptoms. Very nice trichomes development in recent days and more and more colours. Dec 14 Second watering for this week 6.5l Increased calmag to 1.4ml per ltr and if still things will be looking well reduce to 1 or 1.2 on next feeding. Dec 15 Very nice respond on yesterday feeding. They definitely fatten over night and getting more and more frosty. Will need to remove some foliage soon as getting extremely bushy again. Dec 17 Xenas main stem top cola almost touched the light today. Tied her to left side of the cabinet, applied selective defoliation on both girls, tied few branches to netting and on the end of this busy day a third watering for this week. 7 ltrs beetwen both. Runoffs Xena PH6.4 Athena 6.3. Very nice week have to say. I belive that calcium deficiency on Athena is no longer a case here and both girls developing very nicely. Both are still stretching, buds are gaining in size and both girls started exploding with trichomes, Thank you all again for such amazing support 🙏peace and love brothers and sisters ✌️💚💜💚💜💚 Stay tuned for new week update 😉🧑‍🌾✌️💚

Going great she is starting to fade into some nice colors. Just giving top dressing and occasionally some molasses.

Day 71 - Starting week 11 and this is her final week. She will be getting chopped on Friday. She’s still has quite a bit of white pistils but just about 100% of the trichs are milky with about 30% amber so that’s telling me she’s ready. I’ve never tried the 72 hours of darkness before harvesting but because I need some room in the tent, I went ahead and took her out and placed her into a dark cabinet until Friday. She’ll have decent airflow in there so she should be ok until Friday. Day 72 - Nothing new to update as of now. She’s just hitting her first 24 hours of complete darkness. I’ll give her a quick peak tomorrow and see how she looks and then will give her 24 more hours and chop her on Friday. Day 73 - Just a few updated pictures before chopping tomorrow. It’s been almost 48 hours of darkness and I’m not seeing much of a difference in her but she is definitely smelling REALLY strong.

Hello. This is the end of week 10 and the beginning of week 11 of flowering. The first pictures are of the tent opening in the morning. And I put it back each night. That allows me to go into flowering when I want. One more week of veg to go, before I turn it over to flowering. And it will be around August 7th to August 15 when I'll harvest. The plants have filled out their space now. and most are growing over the edges of the table. I plan to get growing tips going up this week. with a big prune/trim about 3 days before I switch. I like to let the plants heal for 3 or 4 days before going into flowering. To get over the shock I caused by trimming them up. Then they can go into flowering easier and turn over faster if they don't have to heal first. The smell when I open the tent is like slightly metallic, a bit sour ish, like some good Afghani hashish smells. Each plant got an extra minute of nutrient solution in the morning this week with no leaking out the bottom this week. And they will get another minute in a couple of weeks. That will make 4 minutes a day of food, and I feel with my fingers, when they feel dry around the edges they get a gallon or 2 of rainwater. They look healthy. No signs of bugs or pest. When I was opening the tent a few days ago I saw a ladybug, just sitting under one of the lights, getting warm 😉 and helping. My friend Jerry, who you've seen in other diaries, gave me lots of bamboo, some 7 feet long, to make a sort of netting to hold up the buds rather than tie them to the tent pole roof. OK. Stuff to do. See ya later. Chuck.

Edit soon

She is just on cruise control, receiving 1ml/l cal mag bi-weekly. She seems to be happy and she is growing beautiful frosty buds.

it's too hot, buds could be fatter... we,ll see what happens towards the final weeks. Day 69, foto 1. Caramelo upside down 🙃. The main stem still standing up. (see foto 2, day 69)

Good day to all my friends and visitors here on GD. We harvested one of the Tropicana XL girls , this is going to be a weird entry because I decided to not make a harvest entry till the other one lady finishes. Unfortunately because of my sticky fingers from all the trimming I did not make many pictures/videos of the grow itsels, to fill this void I decided on including the harvest videos and photographs. Although the final weight will be summed up in the final harvest. We finally see that our problem with the plants may not a deficiency but overfeed...decided to leave the reservoir as it is for this week and add only fresh water next week we will flush the system and for seven days the girls will only drink water. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The SE7000 runs at 520 Watt and about 33cm from the canopy and is doing an astounding job. For anyone who is interested in obtaining this efficient and affordable light fixture here's the link: https://spider-farmer.com/products/spider-farmer-upgraded-se7000-730w-commercial-led-grow-light/ A shout out to Sweet Seeds for the gift of this fenomenal genetics: https://sweetseeds.es/en/ Also I want to thank Jungle Indabox nutrients for supplying me with their excellent & affordable nutrients line: https://www.jungleindabox.cz/en That's it friends, I hope to see y'all next week, bless.

Initial cuttings entry for this journal on the to-be-pollinated F2s. We’ll be backing out each plant specimen against some F1 pollen in an effort to trait stabilize the best bud of the lot. Still debating on pushing my luck with just the aero-cloner through the whole shortened cycle. If not I’ll have to cobble together some sort of shallow dwc bin from scratch to accommodate them for the long haul. Pollen as soon as we see prevalent pistils. ***Grow notes: 2 cuts from each plant specimen against- #5 potentially a male. All lookn great and perky post-cutting. Let’s hope the F1 pollen is still preserved🤞🤞🤞.

64 days after i planted her seed directly in a pot outside 😱the reaper came, i hung her upside down for 6days then cut her &put her on a net to dry some more While cutting I found some little catterpillars about 5 guess that were the eggs that I found on some of the plants last week.☺️ After a few days drying on the net i weighed it:53,6gr The taste is great I'm very happy with the result catterpillars included☺️
