I’m a week late posting on these as I was a week ahead in the timeframe for this diary because of the new Germination option. We are caught up now day wise anyway, and all is good. Finally got her into the flowering tent and into my 5 gal RDWC system under a 1000w HPS on a light rail mover. We flipped her to flowering as soon as we got her in because my DWC systems tend to grow big ass plants. Lol so I’ve decided to flip without much of my screen full and let the stretch fill it. I will also be hitting them at 1000w rite from the start instead of trying to turn it down and get it closer to save power consumption. I will be starting with the light already up as high as it can be at about 3 ft above the screen. I’ve also shortened the span of my rail mover and set my pauses shorter at about 10 sec. with the light at 1000w we get a better spread out on the light meter and don’t need to move the light as far. I’m also going to keep tucking till they completely stop stretching in an effort to keep them as low as possible. We also had some excessive nitrogen build up a couple weeks ago and dropped the ec way down to 0.2 for the next week. They responded quick and went in the opposite direction very fast and before I new it we had nitrogen deficiency. Lol so we got them sitting around 0.75 EC now and they are coming back around. Well that’s it for this week, Cheers! 💨

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/

In my opinion it's last week for Girl Scout Cookies Auto and for Power Plant Auto tilll harvest, how do you think?? Vanilla Latte Auto is on it's 3rd week of flowering period and is very strong and beautifull plant

There are some things that remain memorable in my journey as a grower, and one of them is my encounter with Nectar Drip. This strain stole my heart and will never give it back like all the strains in my top five, but every time it's magical, like falling in love, except I don't feel butterflies, but Wu Tang's Killa Beez. This strain is a unique marvel, one of those one-night stands, because it's a Limited Edition, already sold out after a few days of release, and given its limited nature, it will never be released again. I begged my friends at Zamnesia on my knees, but they're adamant about this: once a Limited Edition is gone, it's gone forever. Think carefully before letting it slip away. Add to this the fact that I've been a hop-hop guy for about 30 years and have also followed the entire Meth journey, and it's incredible to grow a strain named after the albums that drove me crazy when I was 20. It's pure fire for my graying ass. And the best part is that it's not just conceptual fire, but the strain is a marvel like very few on the market, producing wonderful flowers in every way: hardness, density, and weight are unbeatable. The resin production is top-notch, and, as only American plants can do, the yield is consistently good and lends itself perfectly to mainlining, topping, mainfolding, and cloning. We're talking about a strain with typically American characteristics called Nectar Drip, obtained by hybridizing a Zamnesia Apple Fritter with a 24K Gold Fangs by Tical. The result is truly explosive, with an apple aroma and a huge amount of resin that makes it perfect for extraction, even from residue. The leaves are full of pure resin and smell like heaven. I'm deeply embarrassed by her beauty again, like when a beautiful girl talks to me and makes me blush. And I have to say, she's not even the best; There are four more epic plants on the way that might surprise us, one of which is a clone of this one. Maturity - The pistils have been looking super mature for quite some time, especially the upper ones, which are very red, and we're still over 90%. It's a 50-50 Indica/Sativa mix. Sorry, I may have written it wrong in previous diaries, so it'll be all day. I'll let you know how it goes. For now, it's curing. The plant was cloned and left in the vegetative stage for a short time, trained with a Main, but without bending it; I find it practical. We chose 100% organic soil, 1000% Plagron, as always. The soil we chose is the recently launched Plagron Bio LightMix, which will allow us to start with more gradual and consistent watering, without the sudden changes that liquid fertilizers can cause. A week of soil is sufficient, so don't overdo it. Choose your preferred method and calculate your results on the website: www.plagron.com Visit the new Growshop section on the Zamnesia website: Z - https://www.zamnesia.io/it/531-growshop These seeds are sold out and were a limited edition. I'm so sorry I didn't save one, but we can choose from Zamnesia's excellent strains and keep an eye out for exclusive limited editions like this one when they're released... Z - https://www.zamnesia.io/en/35-cannabis-seeds T - https://www.zamnesia.io/en/35-cannabis-seeds/745-tical Z - Nectar Drip is a unique cannabis hybrid created in collaboration between Zamnesia Seeds and TICAL. These flowers are pure power, with up to 26% THC and effects that stimulate the mind and stabilize the body. But if you want to try them, you'll have to hurry: only 750 packs are available! There's nothing better than a good collaboration: we know this better than anyone! For this partnership, we joined forces with TICAL to create a strain packed with flavor and potency. We brought our delicious Apple Fritter, while TICAL contributed its 24K Gold Fangs. After perfecting the result, Nectar Drip was born. This strain produces potent flowers with a THC content of up to 26%, accompanied by delicious fruity and skunky aromas. Considering one of its parents is Apple Fritter, you can be sure that Nectar Drip has inherited an explosion of fruity aromas and flavors. Skunky notes are evident, creating a rich and intriguing profile. Smoking this beauty will leave you relaxed, with a pleasant cerebral euphoria accompanying the experience. It's definitely a great evening smoke, perfect for when you want to take a moment for yourself. You already know this, but I recommend it. You'll find so many wonderful things here, essentially "the best that nature has to offer."

10 September Harvest - see pictures. While some growers leave the plant whole when they cut, I do not. It is a personal preference and situational convenience if your a home grower. I chose to cut large, long branches, and remove any whole water leaves, as long as it doesn’t interfere with the bud formation. I don’t trim yet. This is done for a few of reasons: 1) It’s my last good close-up look at her until another 5 days or more, 2) I don’t want wet leaves drying on my buds if I can help it, and 3) I occasionally like being able to shine a small LED flashlight on the flowers while its drying. Mold is our greatest problem as growers, it can destroy a beautiful grow right up until the end process. Then I hang it in a dark closet, provide circulation and ventilation. Light and heat, anything above 80 degrees F, will start a break down in cannabinoids during the dry, it is ideal to stay away from both. I’m fortunate that a humidity level of 50- 55% and temperature of 65-70 degrees F is fairly consistent and easy to maintain. Anything below 60 degree F will prevent the adequate drying out of chlorophyll. Almost all my flower routinely take 5-7 days, some a little longer, to properly dry out. 15 September Trim - see pictures. First you’ll notice the buds have shrunk up to half their original size. This is just a fact that we growers have to deal with. Due to evaporation without uptake of water, it takes about 3 days for the chlorophyll to dry up, then slowly go through a chemical change. Along with the leaves, cannabinoids also begin a chemical change after 3 days called decarboxylation. A slow process where the THC level increases while curing. You want the leaf to be dry so they can be hand trimmed easily, but you do not want that bud so dry that it starts to fall apart in your hand. Try to handle carefully by the main stem to avoid touching the bud all together. A lot of these cut leaves will be covered with trichomes, good for making oils, or other products, it’s an option worth looking into keeping it. After trimming, I do separate a few premium flowers for my first smoq. Then loosely fill wide mouth quart mason jars with about 1 oz/28 gr of product per jar. I seal the lids for a few hours to determine what relative humidity they are at, see hygrometer pic, before making a decision to put in a 62% humidity control pack of my choice or to wait, then place in secure in a cool dark place with stable humidity and temperature. It is very important to then observe/burp or exchange the air as needed, up to several times a day, until 62% rh is achieved. Once your close to to your mark, put in your desired RH level control terpene shield. If you have a problem getting there: 1) it has dried out too much, no real solution, try to put several large cut stems left over from harvest into the jars with the buds to try and increase humidty, 2) it has not dried out enough, in this case no problem, just remove and dry out a little more. This is also a personal choice, some people like it drier in the 50% plus range. Whatever you do, research and preserve. At that time burping is no longer required. Cannabis will reach its peak potency potential at about 40 or so days into the cure. The finished product should be a perfect grind when cured correctly without clogging up your grinder, this could take a month. Now that I’ve said that, I’m sure someone has grown something that they have not been able to grind. It can remain in this state for an easy 6 months with little change, locking in all the terpenes and potencies. All you need to do is occasionally check the product to ensure there are no molds. If your grow/harvest/cure techniques are good this should not be an issue. It would not be uncommon to find many cannabis strains will last, with small degradable change, for up to one year after being stored this way. Using an airtight glass container, controlled relative humidity, maintained low temperature, and kept in darkness will equal maximum shelf life. Always avoid direct sunlight and temperatures above 80 degrees F. The reasons I’ve ultimately chosen Deep Water Culture as a grow medium. Each has their own pros and cons indeed. I found the most efficient, less maintenance and ideal solution for my situation was DWC. Burdens to overcome depend on size up set-up; initial equipment cost, size of containers, ph monitors, air pumps, type of water to use-reverse osmosis, RO cost/set-up/maintenance, ways to transfer/change water and nutrients, what nutrients to use and schedules, takes several grows to learn and understand, a 1 year learning curv, easy to nutrient burn. The Benefits of growing in water; no dirt, no bugs, no diseases, rare nutrient deficiencies/toxicities, steady and rapid growth that enables the plant to reach its genetic potential. After harvest, there is about a 1 hour equipment cleanup, sterilization and turn around process before replanting. Cannabis will perform in so many different ways and mediums, no one way is the best and the best way is the one you are using, right. Chose what works for you in the long run. There will always be an initial cost in set-up. My advice if one were in need to cut corners, I would not recommend cheap lights. This single factor is the most critical, afford for the best. The notion that organic and water has a different taste, flavor and potency effect is absolutely debatable. The more we learn the better we grow and experience is always the best teacher. This is what works for me and my methods of growing in general from beginning to end. A BIG “Thank You” to everyone who stopped by to take a look. My next diary will start at the beginning of October 2023 with a Forbidden Runtz Auto. There will be minor differences during the grow. I enjoy Auto strains simply by what can be achieved in a short time. No matter the strain they will unveil one thing in common, the demand for attention. Many times over it is the anecdotal gardener that surmount plant scientist. Last should I mention, do not forget to stop and enjoy the fruits of your labour...

Inizio fioritura

Day 6 of Flower coming to 7 tonight! I tried turning my led to 600 for the first time and I kinda forgot about it luckily not for too long and only a few leaves got damaged this LED has a serious kick... no wonder after all it is a commercial LED?. The OG Kush has stretches about 1.5 times and got from having long branches to some really long branches... about 54 to 57cm and he's the only reason I will be using the scrog net this time as I feel very uncomfortable using it, I ain't a fatty but I'm groggy when it comes to watering I love being able to take my plants out and under the shower for a flush in case anything ever goes wrong really.. But scrog? Dam it's working on these branches I'm used to seeing g a little differently shaped but sites but this is nice to look at and I know for sure I need to be careful with this led I also sprayed all girls with neem oil 2 nights before as I saw a little bug on the pot. Overall she's growing fast she's happy and I'm happy to see that I'm able to manage the scrog for the first time actually as I had it before but never bothered using it I'm looking forward to the results happy growing!.

Plants getting frosty, buds starting to swell.

I have tried to keep the canopy of the overall grow as level as I can, the only problem with running different strains is they all have different traits and grow at different speeds. Nearer the end of the week the weather started getting cold again so the radiator is going to be working a bit more over the next week or 2. #2 Tropicana Cookies FF stil hasn't started stretching, she is mega bushy and has quite a cool funky look to her, I haven't managed to spread her out as much as I wanted to so I'll hope she will be OK.

The plants are doing well. Go on.

Giorno 77 Il ciclo è finito e il diario verrà aggiornato tra 40 giorni circa non appena i fiori avranno fatto una bella concia. Coltivarla è stato semplice e ci sono tantissimi fiorellini piccoli e molto duri. E' molto dolce ma non sento terpeni Zkittlez o Gelato. A presto con l'aggiornamento finale 🖐️ 😘❤️

Week 12 passed. She’s definitely starting to fade now. Overall, the environment has stayed consistent, same VPD, temperature, and humidity as before. PPFD is set to 550 and DLI is around 40. I haven’t made any changes to feeding either, keeping things like last week. Buds continue to swell and are looking nice. The aroma is still very sweet, with that same honey-like and cookies note coming through stronger now. I hope to be able to harvesting her in the following 2 weeks.

Day 70: These ladies are still going for it with new pistils making them look even chubbier. #1 In the LOS is beautiful and thick . There are so many leaves swallowed whole by her buds that she will be a nightmare to trim the.mout of.lol #2 Is so ready to come out unlike her sisters. She is so damn frosty and demonic looking now. I cannot wait to sample these girls. They smell so pungent of sweet varnish that hit your nose with a kick. I expect a cure will lose some of the varnish terp a bit. They all feel so gritty , greasy too. my fingers get a sticky residue after playing with them. #2 is being put intonthe dark for 36 hours to encourage her to push oils out a little before the trim and dry. #3 Is getting quite big and even though she looks like a totally different plant , she smells identicle to the other 2. She looks like she will go a couple more weeks at least so a staggered harvest for the Lsd-25 which helps with trim jail. roll on smoking this star of the show , even if fast buds screwed me over with early photo comp withdrawal!!!!!!!!

About 3-4 weeks left on her!

Do you think the plant is ready to be harvested ????

The flowers start to grow and are getting well whites. My first plant got a problem, he got yellow tip of leaves probably too much nutriment, but it is strange, because he get exactly the same as the other. Maybe I defoliated too much...i give him a stand-by. Otherwhise everything is ok, not easy to keep them in shape

The stretch has gone nuts... Growth has been amazing... Nothing to really complain about besides they're hungry hungry hungry lol
