Alr guys, this banana was my first auto ever, I experimented with her a lot, did all type of mistakes, at first she was on a window getting not light at all, I move her to a different house 3 times, transplanted her like 4 times broke the rootmass, almost burned with nutrients and on top of everything I HST her like a mofo 😂 tried to mainlining but she overcome all my mistakes and thrive like a champ she was, beautiful sweet smell and taste even tho 80% of the buds were microwaved OMG im sorry for all but I learned a lot, need to try again with her with all the experience and proper equipment that i have now

Well I’m pretty excited about this being my first auto grow. These things are really doing awesome I’m pretty impressed I don’t have any experience with them but I feel like they’re all pretty big for their size all of them are really starting to stack up bud. One of the jacks seems to be a few days behind the others in the flowering process. The jacks are both a lot Bashir and flatter the bubblegum and OG a really stretching out nice I love that shape of plant. Soil pH and everything keeps testing good no big issue so far I think one of the plants may have had some small nutrient lockout last week but I flushed it out good. I’ll update this week again soon or maybe not I don’t know thanks for stopping bye be safe ✌️.

Week 6 and these girls got a scrog net added. As the plants are getting extremely heavy. Started to unfold an open up eagle spread style. So had to lend a helping hand. They got a scrog net added an the untrained plant got tied up from tents upper support bars an lower branches got some support also from the net. So far everything is going smoothly. The e680s light is putting in that work work

Another week has flown by! The girls are doing great, cruise control this week as I have just been monitoring RH and temps. Trying to keep them as low as possible, I’ve been getting as low as 74 during the day and 68 at night. I finally took a look a look at the trichomes with my jewellers loop, lots of cloudy, and a few amber around the leaves and top colas, but still lot’s of clear trichomes. I’ve ordered myself a wireless/usb digital microscope to assist with the process, and looks like it will be here just in time to determine harvest day. 😎🎄 I started by eliminating the nutrients at the beginning of the week. I typically allow for 3-4 pure water feeds before I harvest, and at the rate they have been drinking, this should be enough to get through the 7-12 days they have before harvest. I don’t flush, but rather “rinse” with normal water amounts, allowing the plant to use up the remaining nutrients in the soil. This also allows me to recover most of the soil from my grows and reuse ♻️ with other soil mix. There has been great debate and a great deal of bro science out there for many years, but the recent studies suggest there is no difference in end result when it comes to flushing or using nutrients right until the end, if a proper dry and cure is performed. What do you think? What do you prefer to do? Thanks for reading this far, leave me a comment with your preferred method 👊🇨🇦❤️

Woche 4 - Weiteres Wachstum und kräftigere Blätter In der vierten Woche setzte sich das beeindruckende Wachstum der Pflanzen fort. Die Nährstoffe blieben dieselben wie in der Vorwoche, mit der Zugabe von 30 ml Canna Terra pro 10 Liter Wasser. Das Licht wurde schrittweise weiter erhöht, bis es die maximale Leistung für die Vegetationsphase erreichte, mit einem PPFD-Wert von knapp 500. Die Pflanzen wuchsen immer kräftiger und gesünder, und die Blätter waren mittlerweile größer als meine Hände – und ich habe wirklich große Hände! 😄 Die Luftfeuchtigkeit und Temperatur blieben konstant und bewegten sich weiterhin im optimalen Bereich wie in der Vorwoche. Die Pflanzen zeigten eine merkbare Veränderung in ihrer Farbe: Sie wurden deutlich dunkler grün, ein Zeichen für eine optimale Versorgung mit Nährstoffen und ein gesundes Wachstum. Insgesamt war dies eine sehr erfolgreiche und erfreuliche Woche im Grow, mit weiterhin sichtbaren Fortschritten. ENGLISH Week 4 - Further Growth and Stronger Leaves In the fourth week, the plants’ impressive growth continued. The nutrients remained the same as the previous week, with 30 ml of Canna Terra added per 10 liters of water. The light was gradually increased until it reached the maximum intensity for the vegetative phase, with a PPFD value of around 500. The plants grew even stronger and healthier, and their leaves were now larger than my hands – and I have really big hands! 😄 Humidity and temperature remained stable, staying within the same optimal range as the previous week. The plants also showed a noticeable change in color, becoming significantly darker green, indicating an optimal nutrient supply and healthy development. Overall, it was a highly successful and satisfying week, with clear progress visible.

June 9th - nutrient delivery on the 11th will also see a fence with 6” square holes, be wrapped around the 15 gallon pots for branch support. The 3 pots can then be anchored to the ground for Stability. - dressing the substrate surface (x 3) with a Mulch featuring Worm Castings. Then watering 14th - visited and fed, dinner posted above. 2nd feed in the feed-feed-water cycle. - plant continues to grow and continues to be beat-up by the high winds in that agricultural corridor. Shot a short video of how tough the winds have been. Weed is bloody tough. Then again its a weed - ea plant fed 1.5 gal ahead of this coming hot humid week ! 15th - last day of the week

It's time to start a new selection! In this growing cycle I will select 1-2 mothers that will become part of my personal genetics collection :) Unlike other cycles in which I use organo-mineral fertilization, in this cycle I will use pure minerals from the Athena line. I have heard a lot of good things about this line of fertilizers and I can't wait to try them.

Home stretch, Lamby is seducing my sense of smell, I am going to harvest on week 26, going to pump nutrients in her her for 5 weeks straight, then the remaining 5! Will be rain water, flush everything that will cause a harsh smoke… plus a month of curing in a jar in darkness. Right now now I want her to bulk up.

This week, we feed mycorrhizal fungi to the plants and it gets the excellent results. The plants grow extraodinarily.

Good day to all my friends and visitors here on GD. The finale grow week for the first Tropicanna XL is there (the one by the wall), she came out just lovely and the smell is mad. I could use it as perfume it's so rich and fruity, never had a plant with such outstanding fragrance. This week we start of changing the reservoir water to which I decided to add nutrients. Yes, this plant will not get a flush before harvest, it's the first time i'm not flushing a plant for the cut but you know only two of the four girls are ready to chop and it's not possible in my RDWC to seperate feed them. So yes it's kind of an experiment for me...some time ago i heard that "man does not need to flush"... yeah I don't really believe what the white coats tell us but then we watched Dr Bruce Bugbee stating the same thing and he quoted experiments performed by his team... I believe him, and I don't really have much choice. Something's not right with my fresh solution or the plants get root rot or something but the girls starting to show K deficiency...I ended up adding an insane amount of PK through the week...good that the plants are on the finish line :) The SE7000 runs at 550 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/ That's it friends, I hope to see y'all next week, bless.

🌱 Day 8 – Reaching Higher The seedlings stretched a bit today, so I lowered the SF2000 Pro to keep them compact. They’re vigorous and full of energy, even if a little taller than I’d like. From his sunbathing spot, Mr_Barkside smirked at me (yes, dogs can smirk): “Told you they’d stretch. Should’ve listened to me.” He’s enjoying this way too much. 🌱 Day 9 – Little Personalities By now, each plant is clearly doing its own thing. Some race upward, others stay bushy. All healthy, all green. Mr_Barkside stuck close today, though his “contribution” was questionable. Let’s just say the tent got an unexpected wave of dog farts. His excuse (in my head): “Organic CO₂ boost. You should thank me.” Not exactly the kind of supplement I had in mind. 🌱 Day 10 – Strong Foundations Ten days in, the seedlings are rooted and confident. Leaves are broad, stems are strong, and the foundation for the grow feels set. The Purple Haze ladies are definitely on their way. Mr_Barkside sat beside me, unusually calm, watching the plants like a philosopher in deep thought. Then he gave me this look that clearly said: “Growing strong… but imagine how much stronger they’d be if I had some cool merch to wear while supervising.” He’s not wrong – everything feels better with style. For now, his imaginary Zamnesia hoodie remains a dream, but it doesn’t stop him from being the most loyal (and best-dressed in his mind) grow partner around. 🌱 Day 11 – Roots on the Move The first roots started peeking out from the bottom of the pots. That’s always a good sign – proof the plants are spreading their foundation below the surface. For now, they’ll stay in their pots a little longer until everything is nicely colonized. Mr_Barkside tilted his head while I checked the roots, as if to say: “They’re growing paws, just like me. Give them a few more days.” 🌱 Day 12 – Building Momentum Each plant showed progress – leaves spreading wider, stems getting firmer. The color deepened into a rich green, a clear sign they’re comfortable. Mr_Barkside sat in front of the tent like a wise coach, calm and observant: “Patience, human. They’re doing fine.” 🌱 Day 13 – Filling Out The difference from a few days ago was noticeable. Some plants stretched a little taller, others stayed compact, but the overall group looked strong. The tent feels fuller, more alive. Mr_Barkside took his “inspection round” very seriously today, sniffing every corner of the tent before giving me the approving nod. 🌱 Day 14 – Young Plants, Not Seedlings By now, they no longer look like fragile seedlings. Broader fan leaves, thicker stems, and the first signs of branching make them look like proper young Purple Haze plants. The GoPro timelapse is capturing every little movement. Mr_Barkside sat like a foreman in front of the tent, giving me the vibe: “Symmetry’s good. Keep it up.”

They are coming along and they seem to be enjoying my new light!! I will be chopping my main girl (gelato auto) to make better conditions (proper veg conditions) for these two ladies in their tent. The older gal - Thelma showed some burn on her tips which I assume is due to the FFOF soil I'm using which runs a bit hot. Interesting to see certain strains react to the soil vs others. Happy growing y'all!

Day 58 : She is fattening her buds also with a slower rhythms. CO2 stopped for all ladies. As you can see trichomes still are in cloudy period. So she needs couple weeks for sure. Edit (Day 62) : I watered again with nutrients. She is very stinky lady. She has a smell that reminds be bubble gum, so lovely. One of favorite tastes in bud.
