At day 20, I can see that the strech phase is almost over. The girls are now expressing a more specific nose, even if they share a similar aromatic profile of exotic fruits. They all share that same tropical funk back ground (myrcene/terpinolene), but some of them (#2 and 4) got a solid punch of sour lemon.

Hi all🧑‍🌾 Welcome to my final 🍌💜👊 week update. First of all. I would like to thank you all for such an amazing support on this bananas journey. I am amazed of the amount of love received from community here. Thank you Grow Diaries and Fastbuds for opportuniy to share and grow this amazing genetics. Love you all❤️💜💚 Was looking for strong indica dominant strain and after reading and hearing so much about this one. Just couldn't resist to not give a go. Was a bit worried before planting seeds that my final yield outcome may not be satisactionary as only have 0.26msq and Fastbuds advertising this strain as 450-550g msq but thankfuly my result was way above this scale. My 2 beautiful ladies Athena - right corner lady. She was slighlthly more dominant over entire grow cycle. She got more space on scrog earlier and that's why she developed the most. Xena - left corner lady, I belive that she could outgrew her sister if she just have more space and another week of time. Did not expect her to turn so well on the end. Both girls were put in darkness for 48h before chop. Wet trimmed and hang for a week. Daily jars burbing for 10 days and every 2-4 days now. Weights Wet trimmed Athena 870g Xena 632g Total 1502g Dry trimmed Athena 172g Xena 147g Total dry 319g Bubble hash 6g (37g of trims) I am very happy with this result. In my opinion Banana Purple Punch Auto its a masterpiece. Thank you so much for all the support, likes, follows and comments 🙏❤️💜❤️ Peace and love brother and sisters ✌️💚🧑‍🌾 Smoke review coming in shortly Links https://2fast4buds.com/seeds/banana-purple-punch-auto https://plagron.com https://www.biobizz.com/ https://fishheadfarms.com/

Alright, so I know this is only a few days after my last update.Put my last update was a week and a half from the one prior so we are back on track... I will say these buds are gaining size and weight very fast, considering how far along she is... The buds are already starting to pack on weight... She smells good and I'm still not over the whole not trimming thing. So awesome.. God bless and happy growing everyone

Week 14 (1-5 to 7-5) 1-5 Temperature: 28.2 degrees (lights on) 22 degrees (lights off) Humidity: 62% (highest) 46% (lowest) No pictures. 2-5 Temperature: 29.2 degrees (lights on) 20 degrees (lights off) Humidity: 61% (highest) 48% (lowest) Removed the net, and tied down some branches to the pot with some gardening wire. This way i can easily remove the pots out of the tent to weigh them. I also moved the oscilating fan from underneath the canopy to above the canopy. This is because the leaves gets hotter as i increase the light's power output. The Gorilla Kush #2 and the Chemdog #2 are showing some heat stress. Installed a valve on the autopot from the Kush #2. This is because its weight is higher then the other pots. Before i watered them i weigh the pots. Dry weight: Gorilla Kush #1: 4.4 kg Gorilla Kush #2: 6.0 kg Added 10L to the reservoir. Opened the reservoir for a couple of minutes. 3-5 Temperature: 26.2 degrees (lights on) 19.9 degrees (lights off) Humidity: 61% (highest) 47% (lowest) No pictures. Increased the light's power output to 75% LUX: 16.000 / 20.000 4-5 Temperature: 26.9 degrees (lights on) 21.2 degrees (lights off) Humidity: 59% (highest) 41% (lowest) Opened the reservoir for a couple of minutes. 5-5 Temperature: 27.6 degrees (lights on) 21.2 degrees (lights off) Humidity: 60% (highest) 47% (lowest) No pictures. 6-5 Temperature: 27.6 degrees (lights on) 20.4 degrees (lights off) Humidity: 60% (highest) 42% (lowest) Dry weight: Gorilla Kush #1: 4.4 kg Gorilla Kush #2: 5.4 kg Added 10L to the reservoir, there was still 2850 ml left in the reservoir so now its almost 13L. Opened the reservoir for a couple of minutes. (Only Gorilla Kush #1) I also lowered the Gorilla Kush #2 a little bit, as she is showing some heat stress. The bud development of the #2 is very mediocre, some buds show some THC, and some buds have almost none on them. I am sure the yield will be low, so i will probably make some hash with the #2 7-5 Temperature: 27 degrees (lights on) 19.8 degrees (lights off) Humidity: 57% (highest) 44% (lowest

Giorno di raccolta per la fantastica crema di mandarino👍🏽🍊

Gloomy outside but the plant is showing signs of pistils

Take out some little buds. Little LST

March 3rd, 2019. The plants are 28 days old today. Growing well. They are well in early flower now. Began LST and did just a small amount of defoliating. They had Azos mixed with Mykos on day 26, will probably feed tomorrow depending on moisture, if not the next day for sure. They just look great. March 8th, 2019 - 33 days old. Was a big grow week. Both plants doing great. They had a full feeding Tuesday and today they got a good solid flushing. They are starting to smell pretty good. If you look closely at the cola shot, you can just see Trichomes starting to form. Lord knows what they will look like in 4 weeks. About 16 to 17 inches tall, really heavy branches, leaves look great, nice beautiful green.

looking great! buds start getting dense 💪 smell is really nice

The most important contribution that any man can make to a garden -- even more important than water or compost-- is the radiation he himself puts into the soil while cultivating it. Epinoia (ἐπίνοια) is a Greek term meaning thought, intention, purpose, or conception, stemming from "mind" (nous) and "upon" (epi), representing the mind's reflective or creative process, used in philosophy (Aristotle, Gnosticism) and theology to discuss understanding and divine names, appearing once in the New Testament for the "intent of your heart" (Acts 8:22). It signifies the mind's operation to form ideas or designs, contrasting with raw data or innate perception, and in Gnosticism, it's an emanation of divine wisdom (Sophia). Exclusion Zone and Coherent Domains in water, broken down into layman’s terms. Imagine you have a glass of water with tiny particles (like dust or dye) mixed in. Now, put a special surface—like a gel or a hydrophilic (water-loving) material—into that water. Next to that surface, a layer of water forms that is totally clear. All the particles and dye are pushed away from it. This water is not just liquid; it has changed into a structured, gel-like state. It "excludes" solutes (particles), hence the name "Exclusion Zone" or EZ water. To understand why the water behaves this way, scientists look at "Coherent Domains" (CDs). Molecules move randomly, like a chaotic crowd. A group of water molecules gets energized and starts acting as one single unit, moving together in perfect rhythm. This state is created by electromagnetic energy and quantum effects, forming organized, crystalline-like structures. Think of a flock of birds or a school of fish. They aren't tied together, but they move in perfect unison, reacting as one. In a Coherent Domain, water molecules act like this synchronized flock rather than independent, random molecules. Coherent Domains are the "rhythm" or the "structure" inside the water. The Exclusion Zone is the physical space where this structured, coherent water builds up next to surfaces. The interaction of light—specifically UVB light—with liquid water generates quantum Coherent Domains (CDs). This type of water is believed to be vital for biology, acting as an energy storage system inside our cells, as EZ water forms naturally around membranes and proteins. Light has a duality fundamentally. It can act as a particle or a wave photoelectrically. You do not have to understand or like this, just accept it because nature is absurd at times in what she gives us. When the EZ forms, the EZ then begins to absorb light in the 270 nm range to increase the EZ power and potency. This is in the ultraviolet range. Water absorbs ideally in the red frequency range 1500 nm -3000 nm. Red light builds the battery, and once the EZ is formed, UV light adds massive power to the EZ to drive all biochemical reactions via enzyme flux using proton tunneling.

Hello folks 💪 💪 💪 19/03/22 first day in first week of vegetation 😇

The biggest of all girls its looking fire and starting to pumps those buds nicely now very happy with this one

Flowering continued successfully this week, with some rather expansive growth of the bud sites. Vertical growth has essentially ceased, and she is clearly putting most of her energy into flower production. The flowers and surrounding leaves are getting rather frosty. Even more so than was to be expected, and I’m excited to see how she continues as we transition into mid/late flower. These elements were significant enough that, last week, I decided it was time to break out the big guns and start using the macro lens to take some good shots for everyone. The plant has handled the tent-swap and transition to 20/4 light very well, showing no signs of stopping. The DLI at the base of the king bud rests around 38.5. I am very glad we made the swap, as you can see some premature browning of the pistils on the king bud, due to light burn from the other (shorter) tent. This is a perfect representation of the risks of not doing any training on your plant: they tend to grow like weeds! (lol) The swap to Athena Blended Bloom A/B from Grow A/B has been uneventful, with no signs of nutrient lockout or stunted development.

Week5 Vegetative steering Day 29 ————- 4 minute shots(220+-ml). 50-60klux 68 leaf temp Defoliated/Lollipopped Plants seem to be inefficiently spaced. I moved them all closer and they are now positioned better under the lights ———— Day 30 VPDis about a .95 Vegetative steering schedule for 3gal who drink a little over a quart a day 220 P1 440 P1 660 P1 880 P1 1000 P1 1220 P2 1330(1%)P3 I achieve runoff at end of P1 then do a maintenance shot and finish the day off with a watering. P1 waters every 15 min starting 1.5hours after lights on Plants are swelling. But not as well as when i use CO2. I think plants in flower still need co2 so that we can get these lights closer.(as long as the leaf(temp does not go over 80 and vpd stays good) Also, i found a plant to have hermied in week 2 so i removed the pollen sac and rubbed some pollen on 2 plants. Seems like they are just starting to take form on the flowers. **need to check for hermies beginning week 2** Am happy to get seeds from these ladies as this was very isolated in the grow ________________ Day 31 Plants are starting to frost. Group1 has swelled the most Group 2 has average growth and nice frost Group 3 looks like it was over dosed. *Bras&MJ study shows that MJ does mot need to be sprayed with Bras as it will over stress the plants. Brass was completely fine to spray without having adverse reactions. MJ seems to decrease yields but is a worthy tradeoff(will continue to use)-* ————— Day 32 Sprayed 2 plants with MJ(they now have been sprayed both week 4&6) Sprayed 3 with bras(also have been sprayed twice in flower) Finally frosting On the plants

Not sure if these 2 are auto plants? The blackberry are flowering quiet obviously, but these 2 are either really slow or I accidentally bought non autos. Anybody help? Cheers

Week 4 , Bigger Babies ? They’re Working On Their Side Branches & Keeping Great Structure 💪🏽 . Space Queen Is Definitely The Bigger Monster For Now But That Can Definitely Change After Topping ✂️🍃 Whipped Biscuits Starting To Show Beautiful Symmetrical Branches 😍 I Think She’s Going To Surprise Me

💜 Purple CousKush Auto by Zamnesia | Pheno B | Week 9 🌿 Elegant, Green & Right On Point Some plants make you work for the compliments. Others simply stand there and make you smile. Purple CousKush Pheno B is definitely becoming one of those plants. Week after week, she has maintained the same quiet elegance that made me like her from the beginning. She isn't trying to dominate the room. She isn't trying to become the tallest. She isn't demanding constant intervention. She's simply growing. And growing beautifully. This week, I'm looking at her and seeing something I really love: consistency. The plant is healthy. The structure is beautiful. The foliage is incredibly lush and deep green. The flowers are developing exactly where I want them to be. And those little developing buds are starting to take on that beautiful golf-ball-like formation, with the flowers becoming increasingly defined along the branches. She is simply... on point. Exactly where she should be. And honestly? She's a delight to grow. 🌸 Week 6 Flower – Right Where She Needs To Be Purple CousKush Pheno B remains around 96 cm, keeping her firmly in the more compact category of the 8×8 Adventure. But by now, I've stopped looking at her height as a limitation. It's simply part of who she is. She's built a compact, balanced architecture and she's using it extremely well. The branches are carrying developing flowers. The bud sites are becoming more pronounced. The structure is filling in. And the entire plant has that beautiful feeling of a flowering plant moving confidently through her cycle. There is no rush. No drama. No obvious need for correction. She's just progressing. And at this point in flowering, that's exactly what I want to see. 💚 That Green... Let's talk about the colour. Because honestly... look at her. That deep, lush green is one of the first things that catches my eye every time I look at this plant. The foliage has that rich, healthy appearance that makes the flowers stand out beautifully against it. And I'm starting to think there's something bigger happening here. Across this 8×8 Adventure, I'm seeing remarkably lush foliage on a lot of these girls. And while genetics obviously play an enormous role — enormous — I'm increasingly convinced that the quality and consistency of the nutrition program are also contributing to what we're seeing. Good genetics give you the potential. Good nutrition helps the plant express that potential. And when the two come together under a stable environment... That's when things get interesting. So this week, I definitely want to give Plagron some extra love. Because I'm genuinely impressed by the overall health and colour we're seeing throughout this run. But let's be very clear: It starts with genetics. Without good genetics, there is only so much a grower can do. You can have the best environment. The best lights. The best nutrition. The best equipment. But you still need a plant with something worth expressing. And these Purple CousKush girls are giving us exactly that. Genetics first. Then cultivation. Then environment. And when those pieces come together... you get plants like this. 🌸 The Buds Are Starting To Look Like Little Golf Balls This is probably my favourite visual change this week. The individual flowering sites are becoming increasingly rounded and substantial. Those little clusters are beginning to look almost like small golf balls forming along the branches. Not finished flowers. Not mature colas yet. But clearly developing structures that are gaining shape and volume. And surrounded by those beautiful white pistils? Absolutely gorgeous. The contrast between the deep green leaves, the developing green flower structures and those bright white hairs is something I could photograph all day. Every week, the flowers become a little more defined. A little more substantial. A little more recognizable. And that's when you start realizing just how quickly flowering is moving. She's building. Quietly... but she's building. ? Those White Hairs The pistils remain beautifully prominent across the flowers. Bright. Fresh. White. And reaching outward from the developing calyxes. They're one of those visual indicators that make the progression of flowering so easy to appreciate when you're documenting the same plant week after week. You look at a photograph from several weeks ago. Then you look at her now. And suddenly you see it. The flowers have changed. The structure has changed. The plant has matured. She's no longer simply starting to flower. She's becoming a flowering plant. And we're getting closer and closer to seeing what this phenotype ultimately wants to become. 🌿 No Need To Touch What Isn't Broken One thing I particularly appreciate about this phenotype is how little she asks from me. The canopy doesn't look like it needs another major intervention. The structure is open enough. The flowers have space. The foliage is healthy. Air can move through the plant. Light can reach the important areas. So I'm not going to manufacture work. There's a temptation in cultivation to always be doing something. Cut this. Move that. Remove another leaf. Adjust something. Change something. But sometimes... the plant is telling you to leave her alone. And I'm listening. She's doing beautifully. So she gets to keep doing beautifully. 💡 Light, Structure & Flower Development The lighting strategy remains consistent, with the Future of Grow Black Series providing the primary overhead light and the Lumiflora system adding light beneath the canopy. The interesting part now isn't whether the plant has light. She does. The interesting part is how she's using the environment we've created. Her compact structure gives her a naturally efficient architecture. The flowering sites are distributed through the plant rather than being buried inside an excessively dense mass. And with the canopy management we've already done earlier in the run, we're now in the phase where I want to let the plant use the space we've created. We're not chasing perfection. We're not trying to expose every flower. We're simply giving her a good environment and allowing her genetics to do the rest. And she's doing exactly that. 💜 Same Genetics. Different Personality. Her sister continues to be one of the great examples of why phenotypes are so fascinating. Same strain. Different expression. Different architecture. Different personality. And that's exactly why I love growing multiple phenotypes side by side. You can read the breeder's description. You can read the genetics. You can read what other growers experienced. But eventually... you have to grow the plant yourself. And then she tells you the truth. Purple CousKush Pheno B has told me that she likes being compact. She likes building a balanced structure. She likes staying relatively low. And apparently... she really likes making beautiful little flower clusters. 😂💜 I'm perfectly happy with that. 🌱 The 8×8 Adventure Is Showing Its Personality This is one of my favourite aspects of this entire project. Twelve different genetic expressions. One room. One general cultivation philosophy. One environment. And yet... completely different plants. Some stretch. Some stay low. Some become monsters. Some become little jewels. Some need intervention. Some practically tell you: "Doctor, please stop touching me. I'm doing fine." 😂 Purple CousKush Pheno B belongs firmly in that last category. And I respect her wishes. 💧 Feeding & Irrigation The flowering nutrition program continues with the established Plagron lineup: Terra Bloom — 2.2 ml/L Pure Zym — 1 ml/L Sugar Royal — 1 ml/L Power Buds — 1 ml/L Green Sensation — 1 ml/L pH Plus / Lemon Kick — as required Current recorded conditions are approximately: 💧 pH: 6.0 ⚡ EC: around 2.0 mS/cm 🌡️ Solution temperature: 25°C 🌱 Substrate temperature: 26°C 💦 Watering: approximately 1.2 L / 24h ? Pot size: 15 L And again, I want to emphasize something I've been noticing throughout this run. The foliage quality is impressive. That doesn't come from one magic bottle. It's the combination. Genetics + nutrition + environment + light + irrigation + consistency. Take away any one of those pieces and the picture can change dramatically. But when they're all working together? You get this. A happy, lush, beautifully developing plant. 🌡️ Environment The room continues running under stable conditions: ☀️ Day temperature: 29°C 🌙 Night temperature: 25°C 💧 Relative humidity: 60% 🌱 Substrate temperature: 26°C 💧 Solution temperature: 25°C 💨 CO₂: approximately 639 ppm 💡 Light schedule: 12/12 That consistency continues being one of the foundations of this entire experiment. We're not trying to make every plant behave identically. We're giving every plant a stable environment and letting the genetics show us what they're capable of. And Purple CousKush Pheno B seems very comfortable inside it. 🔬 Genetics Deserve The First Shout-Out I want to make this point especially clear because it's easy in a grow diary to give all the credit to the equipment. The lights matter. The nutrition matters. The environment matters. The grower matters. But before any of that... there is a seed. And that seed carries the genetic potential. Without good genetics, none of the other pieces can magically create something that simply isn't there. That's why I'm genuinely happy with what Zamnesia has given me to work with in this run. Purple CousKush Pheno B is showing us her own interpretation of those genetics. And I really like what I'm seeing. Then you add a consistent Plagron nutrition program, stable environmental conditions, strong lighting and careful observation... and you give that genetic potential a good place to express itself. That's the recipe I'm interested in. Not one magic trick. A complete system. 👀 Looking Ahead Now my curiosity is really starting to build. Those little golf-ball-like flower formations should continue developing. The flowers should continue gaining volume. The pistils will eventually begin changing as maturity approaches. Resin production should continue increasing. And that compact structure should slowly become increasingly dominated by mature flowers. I don't want to predict the final result yet. We're not there. But I can say one thing with confidence: I really like where she's going. And that's enough for this week. 💜 Final Thoughts – A Delight Of A Plant Purple CousKush Pheno B continues being exactly what she has always been. Elegant. Compact. Beautiful. Quietly impressive. And this week, she's showing us even more of that personality. The deep, lush green is absolutely gorgeous. The bud formation is becoming increasingly pronounced. Those little flower clusters are starting to look like miniature golf balls developing along the branches. The white pistils are everywhere. The structure is beautiful. The plant is healthy. And she is exactly where she needs to be. Honestly... I have nothing to complain about. And sometimes that's the best report you can write. 😂💜 I'm also increasingly convinced that what we're seeing across this room is a beautiful combination of genetics and quality nutrition. The genetics give us the potential. The nutrition helps support that potential. The environment allows it to be expressed. And the rest is simply keeping everything consistent enough for the plant to do what she already knows how to do. Grow. Build. Flower. And shine. So this week, Purple CousKush Pheno B doesn't need a dramatic story. She doesn't need a rescue. She doesn't need a big intervention. She just needs her spotlight. Because she has earned it. A huge thank you once again to Zamnesia for these beautiful Purple CousKush genetics, Plagron for the nutrition that continues helping these girls maintain such impressive foliage and development, Future of Grow for the Black Series lighting, Lumiflora for bringing additional light beneath the canopy, TrolMaster for environmental control, and of course to everyone following this crazy 8×8 Adventure here on GrowDiaries. Every phenotype has a personality. Every plant has a story. And Purple CousKush Pheno B? She's writing hers quietly. No drama. No complaints. Just deep green foliage, beautiful flower formation, bright white hairs and a plant that's becoming more impressive every single week. Elegant. Compact. Beautiful. And absolutely on point. 💜🌿 Let's give this girl the spotlight. She deserves it. Until next week... Keep shining, beautiful girl. 💜✨ Growers Love and happy growing! 🌱💚

This week has been one of great gains in both size and vegetation we have seen a vertical leap in two plants that is astronomical almost 4 inches in a week! Had to do some pruning to expose new bud and a little bit of low stress training on to plants to see if we can expose light to the underside and perhaps get a little more love out of our lower buds The stalk size on almost all of these plants is almost as big as your thumb but on one it is actually relatively skinny that is the one we’re doing the low stress training on we just started the low stress training and it is taking very well to it One of these plants is extremely dark in color on the vegetation and has typically about 11 fingers per leaf! Not sure what that means yet

Day 61: I left them in darkness for 3 days and just switched on the lamp for 12/12 with today the foirst day of the 9th week. Fertilization goes on the same days with the nutrients above and water intake approx 250 ml per plant per day. Nice green color comes they always look nice after darkness :) Lets' go. Day 66: Growing growing growing...

Welcome to week 4 of my Super Silver Haze diary (day22 from germination) Genetics by: Zamnesia seeds Looks great, nice and tall already. Going to flip to 12/12 schedule today, otherwise it will get bigger than 1meter. Last watering was last week, waiting for the soil to dry out a bit before next watering.
