👉🏽 Day 78 (5/17): Watered for the last time and will harvest on either Day 80 or 81, with 24 hours of darkness the day before harvest. Reduced light intensity to 50% due to emergence of white stigmas. Loving the fade and the bud structure with this plant. 👉🏽 Day 81 (5/20): Harvest day! Will be doing a dry trim, so I just removed fan leaves. Now drying in the tent at 75ºF & ≈55% RH. (Will post harvest info/page after drying, since I forgot to weigh her wet.) Thanks for dropping by! 🖖🏽🌿

Hello Diary. We have reached the end of the cycle of this fragrant beauty. There will be a harvest in 2-3 days.😍 Every day I use a small microscope to check when it will be ready. When the trichomes start to turn brown, then I will have a harvest, everything is already prepared. 💪 As can be seen in the pictures, most of the leaves are completely yellowed, the flowers themselves are beautiful green. 😀 At the end of the week I did a defoliation, I took off all the bigger leaves to give them better airiness in those last days and to give the flowers a little more energy. 💪 Watering is every three days and on her 61st day was the last watering before harvest. p.H of water before watering I regulate with Plagron’s Lemon Kick. Always between 6.2 and 6.3 The temperature and humidity in the Box are great, almost ideal for this phase. 👌 Let’s take a look at what Fat Banana’s last week looked like. 21/11/2020 - Day 58. Watering. p.H of water I regulated to 6.3. Temp / Humidity on the farm - 24.5 degrees and 38% humidity. 24/11/2020 - Day 61. Watering. Same procedure as three days earlier. Temp / Humidity on the farm - 25.1 degrees and 40% humidity. 26/11/2020 - Day 63. Photography and defoliation. As I wrote earlier, I removed all the larger leaves for better airflow and to give the flowers a little more energy. I photographed Fat Banana for the last week of flowering, since I will have a harvest in a few days, I will take the final photos on a black background. I'm really looking forward to it. In the end, what to say? Considering the scent and the beautiful flowers, the harvest will be great. See you soon with the last post for this beauty.

Week 02 Introduction This week has been a bit of a struggle. Had my first experience dealing with slime and brown algae. But I think adding enzymes and increasing the beneficial bacteria helped to fix the issue. Also experienced nutrient burn for the first time. My nutrient solution strength got as high as 671 PPMs. So backed it down to about 430 PPMs during the end-of-week reservoir change. Also cut Hydroguard (expired?), CaliMagic, and Superthrive from this grow. Now she's still stunted, but is starting to recover. Hopefully... [START OF WEEK 02] Day 01 - Monday - 08/10/20 - Total Days: 008 ----------------------------------- - [0830]: Still looks a bit yellow. But getting larger! --- Solution strength was at 248 PPMs. --- Just topped off with a bit of distilled water --- PH went up to 6.1 so PH'd down to 5.8 --- Ran the top feed for a bit to wet the hydroton. - [2130]: She's looking even more yellow now. --- Even the new leaves are really yellow. --- Decided to add more base nutes. --- Added 4ml of Sensi A --- Added 4ml of Sensi B --- Now at about --- Solution Strength went up to 304 PPM. --- PH was at 6, --- Also raised the water level a bit more. --- I really hope it's a nutrient deficiency and not an over-watering issue. --- Please live! Day 02 - Tuesday - 08/11/20 - Total Days: 009 ----------------------------------- - [0830]: Looking less droopy. But still yellow. --- Decided to do a reservoir change. --- 4.5gal of distilled water --- 8ml of Sensi Grow A --- 8ml of Sensi Grow B --- 8ml of Voodoo Juice --- 4ml of B-52 --- 4ml of CaliMagic --- 4ml of Hydroguard --- 4 drops of Superthrive --- PH'd down to 5.8 --- Solution strength: 302 PPM --- Since I didn't want to risk over-watering the rockwool, I did not to do a top feed, may do one tonight after the sleep cycle (lights are still set to go off at 10am and back on at 4pm). --- As I was doing a reservoir change, I noticed that the tubes and bucket were a bit slimy. Didn't really stink or anything. Is this normal? Maybe due to the Hydroguard and Voodoo Juice? --- I hope she gets better soon! - [2215]: Getting larger! But still yellow. --- Also can see a root growing through the net pot! Tiny little thing but it's there! Will have to start dropping water once more appear. --- After looking over a few DWC diaries using AN nutes, seems like my solution strength is still too low. Most around this stage average around 500 PPMs with about 4ml per gallon. --- Top fed for a minute to wet the top of the hydroton. --- Solution strength went down to 263 PPM. --- Added 8ml more of Sensi A --- Added 8ml more of Sensi B --- Now base nutes are at 16ml for 4.5 gal of water. --- PPMs went up to 411. --- Still lower than 500 PPMs, but that's okay. --- PH was at 6. Not sure if I should adjust PH using AN nutes. So going to not ajdust unless PH goes above 6.1. Day 03 - Wednesday - 08/12/20 - Total Days: 010 ----------------------------------- - [0830]: Looks like more root growth! --- She still looks yellow. But leaves are perky. --- PH was at 6.2 so lowered down to 5.8. --- Solution strength was at 394 PPMs --- Since roots are still growing, I decide to lower the water level a bit. Now water level is a bit below the net pot. - [2200]: Root is getting longer! --- Slime is returning. Not sure why. --- Solution strength: 357 PPMs --- PH: 6.1 --- Decided to add an enzyme along with more beneficial bacteria to hopefully cure the slime. --- Added 16ml of Sensizym --- Added 5ml of Hydroguard --- Added 8ml of Voodoo Juice --- New solution strength: 430 PPMs --- New PH: 6.1 --- Top fed for a minute. --- This slimy residue is really freaking me out! I hope the added enzymes will help eliminate the slime. --- Going to do a full reservoir sterilization/nutrient change over the weekend. Please survive until then girl! Day 04 - Thursday - 08/13/20 - Total Days: 011 ----------------------------------- - [0930]: I think the enzymes worked! There is little to no slime now! --- Although I think the root was also dissolved in the process. It's now just a little stub sticking just below the net pot. The enzyme is also suppose to dissolved dead roots too but guess that root was too weak? Not sure what happened there. But I think the slime is cured! --- Solution strength went down to 395 PPMs. Decided to add more base nutrients. --- Added 8ml of Sensi A --- Added 8ml of Sensi B --- Added 4ml of B-52 --- Solution strength went up to 598 PPMs. --- PH was at 6.1 --- As long as the PH is between 5.5 and 6.3, I'm not going to use PH Up or Down. But still will monitor PH levels. - [1715]: Checked up on her after her nap and shes looking alive but stunted. But no slime! --- Decided to add some sugars to help maintain the enzymes and beneficial bacteria. --- Solution strength was at 587 PPMs. --- PH was at 6.2 --- Added 8ml of Bud Candy --- Solution strength went up to 671 PPMs. --- PH also went up to 6.3 --- Lowered water level a bit to hopefully promote more root growth. --- Top fed for a minute. --- She is getting bigger, but still looks yellow. Day 05 - Friday - 08/14/20 - Total Days: 012 ----------------------------------- - [0915]: Leaves look a little burnt on the tips. Still no slime. --- Going to back off on the PPMs to hopefully fix the nutrient toxicity. --- Solution strength was at 632 PPMs --- PH was at 6.3 --- Added/Removed water until PPMs were at 536. --- PH was still at 6.3 --- Raised water up a bit, then top fed for a minute. - [2200]: Looking better. Still yellow though. --- Solution strength: 514 PPMs --- PH: 6.5 --- Added PH down. --- New solution strength: 518 PPMs --- New PH: 5.2 --- PH was kind of high. So decided to PH down. Had to use quite a bit to bring it down. But eventually got it to drop down to 5.3. A little low, but so far, the PH has always gone up so wanted to start it really low. --- Ran the top feed for a minute to re-saturate the top of the hydroton. Day 06 - Saturday - 08/15/20 - Total Days: 013 ----------------------------------- - [0830]: She looks stunted. leaves are still yellow. --- Solution strength: 514 PPMs --- PH: 5.6 --- Top fed for a minute. --- Not sure what to do at this point. Going to do another reservoir change soon. Hoping she lives until then. - [2145]: Looking pretty much the same. --- A bit of slime has returned. Since I've been diluting the nutrient solution, the enzyme ratio has dropped. So I guess this is expected. --- Also noticed that slime build up was on the air-stones. Never really checked the stones so not sure how long that has been there. Looks brown too, which can't be good. --- Going to do an H202 sterilization of the system (minus the net pot) tomorrow so did not add anything. --- Lowered the water level to below the net pot. --- Then top fed for a minute. Day 07 - Sunday - 08/16/20 - Total Days: 014 ----------------------------------- - [0900]: STERILIZATION DAY! --- Decided to skip today's night cycle for a deep clean. --- I'm hoping that skipping a night cycle won't be too stressful. --- Temporarily moved her to a new bucket. --- Used about a half of gallon of straight distilled water to flush out the net pot. --- Drained the system and wiped up all the brown sludge. Also removed the air stones and cleaned up all the goo. --- Filled the system with 2 gallons of distilled water and at least 30ml of food grade hydrogen peroxide (35% strength). --- Yea its a lot, but since I'm not going to sterilize the system overnight, I went with a really high doseage. Basically I kept adding until I started to see little bubbles start to form. --- Then I ran the water pump. - [0915]: Boiled the air stones in tap water for about 10 min. Then reconnected them to the airlines. --- I let the air stones and hose soak in the sterilization solution for about 5 minutes so the peroxide can absorb into the stones. Then ran the air stone to help mix and agitate the solution. --- Occasionally, I'd repeat the process of turning the air pump off for a few minutes to let the stones soak. - [1000]: Covered the top two row of holes of the net pot with some aluminum tape. Hopefully this solves the light leaking in through the hydroton. - [1200]: Used an old toothbrush and scrubbed the pump clean. Then drained the system. --- Refilled with more distilled water and peroxide. Again added a lot. --- Ran system again to sterilize even more. - [1530]: Drained the system and refilled with distilled water to rinse. --- Ran the system for a few minutes, then drained and rinsed again. --- Did this a few more times over about an hour. - [1630]: Added 4 gallons of fresh distilled water. --- Added 15ml Sensi Grow A --- Added 15ml Sensi Grow B --- Added 12ml of B-52 --- Added 16ml of Voodoo Juice --- Added 16ml Sensizym --- Solution strength was at 430 PPMs --- PH was at 5.6 --- I was going to add Hydroguard, but I think the bottle is expired. Since 2017 or 2018!? I think Hydroguard is good for up to 2 years from the date on the bottle or 6 months after opening. So not going to use from now on. I wonder if this could have contributed to the slime build up. --- Also removed the CaliMagic and Superthrive too. Going to only use AN products to eliminate the chance of incompatible nutrients. --- Placed her back in the bucket and top fed for a minute. --- Here's hoping for the best. Going to let it ride until morning! Please feel better! [END OF WEEK 02]

Germinated 2 seeds had 50% success [still hoping the other pops up] chocolope #1 doing very well. They are in a 2'×2'×4' grow tent which they will spend rest of their lives as I'm trying my hands at cannabonsai. [Pretty calming] Lights are lowered close to dome to reduce stretch. Let me know what u think

Die Lemon Skunk steht nun in Blütewoche 7 und präsentiert sich von ihrer besten Seite. Die Buds sind massiv, fest und vollständig mit Trichomen überzogen. Das Harz glänzt unter dem Licht, und das Aroma ist intensiv zitronig mit einer erdigen Basis – typisch für die Genetik. Die Trichome zeigen ein perfektes Reifestadium: etwa 70 % milchig, erste bernsteinfarbene Spitzen. Damit beginnt langsam die finale Reifephase, in der Aroma und Wirkstoffgehalt ihren Höhepunkt erreichen. Das Semi-Hydro-System läuft stabil weiter. Die Pumpe hält die Nährlösung aktiv, was für konstante Sauerstoffversorgung sorgt. Die Pflanzen reagieren vital, und die Wurzeln arbeiten sichtbar effizient. Die Düngung liegt aktuell bei 8 ml/l Canna Coco A + B, was optimal aufgenommen wird. Kein Überdüngungszeichen, keine Mängel – die Blätter beginnen langsam, die gespeicherten Nährstoffe zu mobilisieren, was ein gutes Zeichen für den kommenden Spülvorgang ist. Die Struktur bleibt offen, die Luftzirkulation ist stark, und die Buds profitieren von optimalem Licht. Das Verhältnis zwischen Haupt- und Seitentrieben ist ausgeglichen, was zu einer gleichmäßigen Blütenentwicklung über die gesamte Pflanze führt. Insgesamt zeigt sich die Lemon Skunk in absoluter Bestform: kompakte Buds, starker Duft, hohe Harzproduktion und stabile Semi-Hydro-Performance. Die letzten Wochen versprechen dichte, aromatische Blüten – ein klarer Hinweis, dass die Ernte langsam näher rückt.

Was Easy Going No Issue Smaller side but didnt do much just let her go little over water @ Times from all the Rain was having... but she handled it

My earliest ever outdoor grow, got planted on 1st of march outdoor with 4 other strains, wich all died because of the temperature that time at night( sometimes -1). This little beauty managed to survive that and went in to flower as small as she was, the buds didnt got as big as i hoped for bud im happy with the result. Buds smell super much like forest fruit or berries and also bit peppery. The color of the buds is amazing

Started flush now. I'm adding Nature Delight Active Sugar Boost as it's been recommended to boost terpene production. No idea if it will work this late into flower but trying anyway as apparently it has no need to be flushed and is fully organic.

Haven't been remembering to post weekly updates! Everything is going great the auto flower girls are budding nicely and the other ladies are starting to flower nicely I'm giving alternating nutrients using a few different fox farm nutrient feed charts with my own take on them from notes an suggestions. This is the part that is so enjoyable but so stressful!

🌿 Woche 4 – Vegetative Phase (27. Oktober – 2. November 2025) Nach drei Wochen stabiler Entwicklung ging es in Woche 4 in die entscheidende Aufbauphase. Die Pflanzen haben sich sichtbar verdichtet, die Kronen geschlossen, und die Spider Farmer SE3000 liefert bei 55 % Leistung (≈ 480 µmol/m²/s) gleichmäßiges Licht über die gesamte Fläche. Am 27. Oktober war dann der große Eingriff fällig: erstes Topping und leichte Entlaubung bei allen sechs Pflanzen. Das Ziel: strukturierter, flacher Wuchs – die Basis für das kommende LST-Training und ein gleichmäßiges Canopy. 🗓️ Chronologie Woche 4 27.10. ✂️ Erstes Topping + Entlaubung Alle 6 Pflanzen getoppt (oberste Nodie entfernt). Je 1–2 untere Blätter/Triebe entfernt. Keine Stresssymptome danach. 28.10. 🌱 Erholungsphase Blätter wieder aufgerichtet, neue Spitzen sichtbar. Kein Gießen. Licht 55 % @ 60 cm Abstand. 29.10. Kontrolle & Beobachtung Erde weiter getrocknet. Wurzeln an Topfböden sichtbar → Umtopf-Zeitpunkt erreicht. 30.–31.10. (geplant) 💡 Klima & Licht (Woche 4) 27.–29.10. 55 % 60 cm 25–26 °C 55–60 % Optimales vegetatives Klima, keine Hitzespitzen. 30.–31.10. 50 % 65 cm 24–25 °C 60–65 % Nach Umtopfen zur Stressminderung. 01.–02.11. 60–65 % 60 cm 25 °C 60 % Wieder Aufbau der Lichtintensität nach Erholung. 🌱 Strain-Layout / Pflanzenstatus Front L/R Cherry Poppers 🍒 Kompakt, kräftig, gleichmäßiger Austrieb nach Topping Bereit für LST ab 5.–6. Nov. Center-L (gelb) Karate Kit 🥋 Etwas gedrungener, dunkles Grün, kräftige Mitte Wuchs leicht langsamer, aber stabil. Center-R (terracotta) Lemon Orange 🍋 Größte Pflanze, sehr vital, breite Blätter Beim Umtopfen leicht tiefer setzen. Back L/R White Gorilla Haze ×2 🦍 Buschig, dichte Struktur, kräftige Stiele Leichte Mg-Symptome → Bittersalzgabe nach Umtopfen. 💧 Gieß- & Nährstoffplan (Übersicht Woche 4 + Vorschau) 24.10. Düngung (vor Woche 4) Orgatrex 2 ml/L 0,9–1,1 L Letztes Vorgießen in 5 L-Töpfen 27.–29.10. — — — Keine Bewässerung, Substrat trocknet für Umtopfen. 30.–31.10. Anwässerung Bactrex 1 g/L 0,8–1 L Nur zur Wurzelaktivierung, kein Orgatrex. 03.–04.11. Erste Nachdüngung Orgatrex 1,8 ml/L + Bittersalz 0,5 g/L (nur WGH) 1 L pH 6,2–6,4, langsames Angießen. 07.–08.11. Nur Wasser — 1–1,2 L Erhaltung der Bodenfeuchte, keine Zugabe. 🧠 Beobachtungen & Pflege Erholungsphase: 1–2 Tage nach Topping leicht verlangsamtes Wachstum, danach starke Triebneubildung. Bodenleben: aktiv, feine Myzelstrukturen sichtbar. Keine Mangelanzeichen: außer leichtem Mg-Bedarf bei White Gorilla Haze. LST: Beginn voraussichtlich 03.–06. November (sobald neue Triebe 4–5 cm lang sind). Entlaubung: keine weitere vor Mitte November. ✅ Fazit – Woche 4 (27. Oktober – 2. November) Diese Woche war der Übergang vom Aufbau zur Strukturphase. Das Topping am 27. Oktober hat den Wuchs geformt und die Basis für das spätere Training gelegt. Die Pflanzen zeigen kräftige Triebe, gesunde Farbe und aktives Wurzelwachstum. Mit dem Umtopfen zum Wochenende beginnt die letzte große Wachstumsphase der Vegi-Stage. Vitales, harmonisches Wachstum, starker Wurzeltrieb, perfekte Vorbereitung für den „großen Umzug“.

Black Jack nació en el año 2006, junto con la aparición al mercado del banco Sweet Seeds, de nacionalidad española. Al comprender dos mundos extrañamente dispares, conseguiremos una planta muy estable y homogénea, ideal para aquellos que cultivadores amantes de híbridos poco ramificados. Esta cepa marcó un antes y un después ya que el poder de la Black Domina se puede notar sobre todo en la sensación física ofrecida. Surgen de ella dos fenotipos claramente dispares, ya que uno tiene a la Black Domina con su resinado extremo y el otro se alarga bastante en altura dando un aspecto de Jack Herer

Day 29: LST is done. I set the lamp approx 36 cm away. BlackBerry Kush, LSD-25 started flowering. All of them are OK started growing rapidly. 600W LED, 20 hours on 4 hours off the same with ventilation. Water intake: 75 ml per plant plus triggering, humidity around 60 percent. Fertilization is on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday with BioBizz family, Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday bat guano and Epsom salt. Day 30: I did LST again. I didn't have enough elastic band yesterday so I bought today and bent them better. I also set the lamp closer approx 34 cm. Day 31: I did LST yesterday and bent them. They already "lifted up" their heads toward the lamp. As they grow I will keep bending the main stalk and the side ones. I will try to create a spiral form and spread the plants with time. Day 32: Most of them started flowering except Colorado Cookies. BlackBerry Kush aggressively started floweing. This plant is very strong and aggressive. Day 35: pre flowers nicely coming along.... Balckbeery Kush and LSD-25 are the quickest. I changed the lamp as it is now really good.... so I placed an other 600W lamp there. I will swap these lamps one week here other week there. I will change that lamp after harvest. End of the week the tallest is BlackBerry Kush with approx 25 cm (I bent them so can't give perfect measurement) and the shortest plant is approx 18 cm.

12 weeks to

Die Kabul leitet langsam aber sicher die Blüte ein. Sie wächst schön buschig und gleichmäßig. Find ich echt stark 🤘🏻Sie riecht auch schon schön. Bisher gibt es nichts negatives zu berichten und das ist auch gut so. Die Palette an Dünger hat sich natürlich erweitert und BioBloom und TopMax sind jetzt auch dabei. Die Kabul nimmt den Dünger gut auf und verwertet ihn ordentlich. Bis die Tage ✌️

2/9: pH balanced water given today. Flowering sites are starting to explode a bit. Top leaves appear to have light burn. I've got my light at max height so I can't move it up any higher..trying to push the light over to the side as best I can 2/11: light defoliation and feeding... Coming along nicely!

I made some mistakes early on but despite all of that she still grew and produced some nice flowers. Would love to run this one again because she would have been a monster had everything gone a little smoother.

Super Sativa Seed Club Purple Punch OG Auto Germination Week First time trying Super Sativa Seed Clubs genetics and personally am super excited to see how they'll turn out. Started 3 Purple Punch OG autos by using the shot glass method. Soaked in just tap water in a solo cup for 48hrs and then straight into the soil. 48hrs later and we have sprouts emerging. So far all seems well and with 100% germination rate it's hard to argue those results. Happy Growing
