The first plant I harvested on 23/09/22 day 72, she faded out in lovely reds, purples and almost black fan leaves. She was coated in glistening frost all over and smelt like petrol/fuel with a subtle grapey fruit after twang. I dried her at 60%RH - 18*c for around 9/10 days before putting into a jar. I’ve been burping her for a week now and she smells fantastic. I’ll post some bud pics when both plants are dry. Plant two I harvested on 09/10/22, she was 88 days old and her buds were firm, but not solid. Forgot to take some pre harvest photos so instead I took a quick video of the main cola. Her buds leave a layer of sticky grease all over your fingers, and the smell is to die for. She’s currently drying in the same conditions as the previous plant. Both plants were grown in less than adequate pots as testers, but grew easily and appeared to thrive throughout. Neither got any sort of training as I wanted to see what kind of natural structure would occur. Il do an update with pictures of both plants once they are cured. I highly recommend giving these seeds a go if you’ve got the space! If you haven’t tried Mephisto Genetics yet I recommend you give them a go, I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised. 🌱💚

hey grow friends .... finally my time seems to come .... these beautiful little girls seem to tell me, every day that passes "smoke us" "smoke us" .... bitch bitch guys .. it doesn't seem true .. the dream of a lifetime ... MY FIRST SEED MY FIRST GERMINATION MY FIRST GROW MY FIRST LAMP MY FIRST VEGETATION MY FIRST FLOWERING WHAT A CHILD SATISFACTION 9 out of 9 .... AND EVEN IF I DON'T HAVE ABUNDANT COLLECTIONS FROM A SINGLE PLANT FOR ME ALREADY AND A SUCCESS TO COMPLETE 9 OF 9 I cultivated it very sparingly and in the end I was repaid quite well ... this and the second week of flush .... fuck how long they take to dry with the led :(

Week 4 saw abundant flower growth. There’s a noticeable difference in the size of each bud site compared to last week. Another thing I noticed is that the buds on the branches that were supercropped seem to be fuller and thicker! Started to see increased trichome production on both the sugar and fan leaves. Most growers are against stressing their plants in flower but I believe it depends on the strain you’re growing and how she was prepared in veg. I’m thoroughly impressed with the amount of resiliency she’s shown up to this point. I haven’t seen any indication that the high stress that I’ve put her through towards the end of veg and the beginning of flowering has cost me anything besides an additional week of flower.

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 :).

Gave both these girls approx 46 hours darkness before the chop but wish I hadn't. All it did was cause all the sugar leaves to dry out and make the trim so much more work haha!

This OGgelato is a champ! Not the heaviest producer, but its been a real pleasure and was easy to grow. No matter what nutrients I throw at her, or aggressive pruning, she bounces right back. This week I found bud rot on one of my other plants in the greenhouse but this plant has so far been resistant and is healthy. I thinned the canopy and defoliated out quite a bit to create more air flow. I now have fans on 24/7 and sprayed with a mycorrizhal fungicide that suppresses botrytis. Also this week I have stopped pulling the tarp on and off each night (for total darkness) because it seemed to trap in too much humidity at night. The humidity outside has been 80-90% for over a week! And the rain was so heavy all last week. This week is slightly warmer with less rain so hoping we can make it. The trichomes are starting to get milky. I imagine I have 1-2 weeks left but am not sure. This has been a pleasurable experience for sure, but this is stressful right now! The smell is so strong you can smell it on my block. You can see *everything* from the alleyway adjacent to the greenhouse. I'm worried about mold and thiefs and can not wait for this to be dried and in jars!

Great news—my Banana Kush seed has popped and is standing tall! 🎉 Tiny cotyledons are already showing a healthy green, and I’m excited to watch this girl take off over the next few days. Here’s to a strong start! #BananaKush #Seedling #GrowDiaries **Day 5 – Seedling Update** Great news: all three Banana Kush seedlings are settling into veg! 🌱 The cotyledons look bright and healthy, and each plant has its first true leaf set. They did stretch a touch at the start, but the lowered light and steady airflow should help them thicken up fast. --- ### Environment * **Temp / RH:** 25 °C day – 21 °C night / **75 % RH** * **Light:** LED at 35 %, now **20 cm** above the canopy, 18/6 schedule * **Airflow:** Two fans have been running unfortunatley only since yesterday to keep fresh air moving and strengthen the stems * **Medium:** Light mix with extra perlite in 0.5 L peat pots on a seed-heat mat ### Watering & Feed * Still giving only **plain Gerolsteiner Naturell** (pH ≈ 6.2 out of the bottle) – no nutrients yet; runoff looks clean. ### Observations * Stems are a little lanky from the earlier light distance, but colour is good and the new growth looks happy. * Roots should start circling the peat pots soon; a gentle tug already shows light resistance. ### Next Moves 1. **Up-pot in 3–4 days** into 3 L Air-Pots and bury an extra couple of centimetres of stem to fix the stretch. 2. Keep RH around 70–75 % for another week, then start lowering to ~60 % as they bulk up. 3. Gradually ramp the light to 40–45 % once they’re settled in the new pots. So far, so sweet—here’s hoping for chunky Banana Kush colas down the road! 🍌✨

They are doing very well and the 2 smaller ones have caught up with their sister. Just gave them a very light tidy up the underside of them. I've done topping and FIMing on all them they are filling out nicely.

Eigentlich gibt es nicht viel zu berichten, die Bananen haben sich nicht weiter gebildet und die Buds werden schön fett und Saftig 😍 Heute hab ich versucht ein paar trichome vor die Linse zu bekommen, was ziemlich gut funktioniert wenn man die Lupe einfach vor die Handycam hält 👍🏻 26.07 Painkiller 3 wird langsam auch zu einer stattlichen Pflanze, sie bräuchte bestimmt noch 2 Wochen länger aber leider muss ich sie alle gleichzeitig ernten da das Zelt zum trocken benötigt wird… Echt schade

Soaked the seeds in distilled water for 15 minutes. After I put them on wet cotton pads and sealed those in Mylar bags. I placed those bags on top of my radiator. I made sure it is not running too hot. I don't really care about yield; I just want to do a little project inspired by a YouTuber called Weed in a Pot. I just want to see if I can bring it to the next level with this setup. I already switched out the light for the newer evo dimmable version since it was to strong. Also drilled a few more thicker holes in the bottom for better cold air intake.

Shorter plants 13”, larger is 18”. Beneficial nematodes and the sticky trap seem to have handled the gnat issue. I’m continuing to use nematodes after watering, and the traps will remain. I did a little trimming but probably won’t do much more defoliation until the stretch is over. This will probably be my last shower grow. I think it makes more sense to get a bigger space like a tent or build one and some more lights. It’s getting cramped in there. It’s also starting to reek. I water about every 2-3 days using a 1/2 gallon jug to mix my nutes. I’m keeping ph close to 6.5 and ppms between 600-800. I don’t use nutes in every watering—it depends on how the plants look. I do more frequent updates on Instagram @thefairybudmother.
