En fin...como todo lo que empieza, también se termina y casi estamos recogiendo el fruto de todo el amor, la dedicación y cariño inmenso que le ponemos a la más bella planta del universo. Tengo amigos a quien les digo que he tenido veces que en lo más hondo de mi alma, mi primera y última voluntad sería no cortar mis grows. Casi como si fuera en mi íntimo, lo que más deseaba, seria tenerlas preciosas para siempre y ver sus colores, sus aromas...quién no le gusta llegar a casa y la primera cosa es caminar hacia la habitación donde está el armario de grow...ver como los LED se proyectan en los colores verdes...si en mi temporada de verano tenía los colores naranjas de la Russian Auto de FastBuds...ahora con las temperaturas más bajas de finales de otoño, la Strawberry Cheesecake de Barney's...ay, que trabajos me ha dado esta señorita, eh!! Como me dejó llevar por sus colores morados y estos cogollos con la explosión de naranjas y rosados y ámbar (que no necesitamos tan solo admirarlas con el Photoshop en las páginas de los catálogos de los bancos...si!!! Que las fotos que sacó en casa no llevan filtros y los cogollos salen aún más preciosos que en las fotos de los amigos de Barney's). Hace poco "luchaba" con ella, poniéndole ScroG, trelizas, pin plásticos para hacerle Low Stress intentando controlar una "señorita" para la cual tenía pensado no más que un metro de alto y que cuando me seguía subiendo al casi metro y medio en floración sin detener su crecimiento...a esta "señorita" por la primera vez en mi vida, tuve que hacerle un supercropping encima de otro supercropping haciéndole un callo del grosor de un puño en su cola por que de otra manera no hubiera tenido techo de armario donde me cupiera el estirón de sus ramas. Me anunciaban en Barney's que su genética habría de salir una Indica en su aspecto arbustivo, pero no...la naturaleza no se equivoca en sus caprichos y en su "sopa" genética, sus ramas de Sativa se impusieron...hay que aceptar con tranquilidad lo que se nos viene encima y como no...pese a que en su final las hojas largas nos dijeron "Indica presente"...hemos tenido una Sativa...en todo, su tiempo de hacerse y desarrollarse en 13 semanas y la forma como con la red de ScroG se pudo conseguir que las luces llegaran donde no habrían de tener llegado. La pequeñita Strawberry que el 12 de septiembre despuntaba del jiffy, tímida y delicada...hoy es una "señora" y su paso por el mundo subirá en rollos de humo dulce y por el medio de sonrisas y por que no, "cabezones" por qué su "Indica" también hablará en su híbrida expresión, se recordará como una verdadera belleza...y si...por qué si miráis a las fotos, es también y mucho una belleza. Dejando la poesía de la vida aparte, esta semana ha sido semana que empezó con el flush el Domingo...agua corriente para que se lavara lo que le hemos dado en estas 13 semanas. Como no le hemos dado demasiado, donde le habríamos de dar lo justo, con el flush, muy rápido pudimos ver que el agua marrón se sustituía por água Clara, dando la señal que la hemos limpiado como se merecía...y seguro que tendremos humos suaves y aromáticos y no esa cosa que a veces nos toca cuando compramos alguna hierba a un amiguete que sea más apresurado y que a veces con la saña del negocio (y siempre el cabrón del dinero y los que hacen negocio de esto y que con esa "filosofía" tanto se les dá un flush bien echo, un secado como mandan las reglas o el curado de primera, para que el humo sea un "culto" y si unos pocos les dá la gana...para mi, esa cosa de ganarme la vida con esto, nones lo mío...y lo mío si es que cuando me fumo unos con los amigos, todos disfrutemos y que la gente me diga "anda!!! que esta es de las mejores que he fumado en la vida" y eso sí, es ganarme la vida...ganarme el gusto de perfeccionarme a cada grow, a cada variable nueva que introduzco en mis cosechas, a cada experimento que me trae conocimiento y buen hacer, a cada cepa que logró sacarle el mejor rendimiento no solo en gramos, pero mucho en sabor y en aroma. Joder...que esto de la "plantita mágica" es de las cosas más bellas y que más te recompensan en la vida y como os digo...mi "zen" en esto del "grow" no está en el humo y en lo "colocado" que me pueda dejar...lo que me deja, en verdad, "colocado" me quedo por lo que me relaja esto de la botánica y del amor, cariño y dedicación diaria al "grow". Sobre la "enana" ...la Critical Jack Herer... pues pese a una genética muy incompleta (y por que como ya os he dicho, que trifolios "ruderalis" incluso en la floración, lo que deja entender que Delicious Seeds mucho tendrá que trabajar en estabilizar esta cepa) camina también para su final...una cosecha mucho más pequeña en cantidad, pero por su olor y resina en sus cogollos más modestos y menos exuberantes en los colores, promete al menos, una hierba que "pongo mis fichas a juego sin limites" en la calidad que tendrá. Haré el flush el viernes y será un flush más específico, pues no pretendo darle un corrido de água alocado y si usaré el producto Canna Flush, pues también hay que aprovechar el sustrato que es de calidad superior y si el corrido de un montón de agua tiende a lavar los fungos y bactérias benéficas del suelo, con el Canna Flush se logra limpiar el exceso de nutrientes sin con ello hacer que el agua se lleve también lo bueno que hemos integrado en el sustrato a lo largo del "grow". Otra de las cosas que siempre contribuye a que tengamos un sustrato que después del flush nos sirva cara al futuro, es no solo el uso de las micorrizas que para mí son obligatorias, bien como el uso de "enhacers" enzimáticos que en mucho tienen la tremenda misión de convertir excesos de N-P-K en metabolitos de azúcares y coloides que las plantas absorben, sin que con ello, el humo quede agresivo en su paso por la garganta. Así...en los próximos diez días, tendremos terminada la temporada de otoño. Haremos el pesado de la cantidad, haremos los registos en la bitácora sobre lo que ha ido bien y menos bien y empezaremos a programar para mediados/finales de enero, el comienzo de la temporada Primavera 2023. Ya tenemos la "comida" de la próxima temporada y tendremos orgánico con calidad...tendremos más dos TLED 26 w, estos de 6500K para Crecimiento y tendremos ya la configuración LED completa que he diseñado en mi mente, que será el LED central de 192W, y sobre cada esquina del armario de "grow" alternados TLEDs de 26W, unos de Crecimiento y otros de Floración... Y "colorín, colorado, este grow se ha terminado..." Hasta la vista con fé y sabiduría y confianza infinita en el Dios Jah, sembrando la semilla de la concordia y paz entre Hombres y dándonos la gracia de la más hermosa planta del mundo... Fuí...ONE LOVE

A few had issues with the 24 hrs light sa few plants were getting yellow tips resembling light burn. So I added a teaspoon of Epsom salt and coffee grounds. Looks like the plants have bounced back. That’s a sigh of relief!

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/

01/08/18 - I fed them all 1 litre each, one of them seems to be praying up but the other two Seem a little bit droopy still. 02/08/18 - #3 is praying like usual and the other two are getting better Day by day I’m going to be giving them another feeding tomorrow, I have seen roots stretching out to the sides of the pots so I might saturate the whole pot. 04/08/18 - horrible sight today looks like rusty cracks in some leaves , not got a clue what this. 05/08/18 - browning has continued since last night and it’s all on the new leafs not the older ones. i fed them without any calmag , so I think it could be a deficiency of some sort (cal/mag).the mad thing is, it’s only two of the girls, one of them is completely fine nice green leaves not yellow marks that turn orange/brown. It definitely has nothing to do with my ph or all three girls would be showing some symptoms seeing as they all get fed with the same soloution.✌️🏻 07/08/18 - everything’s cleared up their was slight nute burn in the process but everything seems a lot better so I decided to start LST. all the new leaves are the colour they should be with no nute burns or calcium deficiency 🙏🏻

Still swelling but starting to slow down and swagger. It's kolas are becoming so large that it's really starting to weight down the plants small height and stature. Trying to get away with not holding it up but I will see how the further biggest kola starts to lower more how it'll end. I'm starting to lower the feed and get ready for the last 3-4 weeks I'll be giving these plants. Some more foliage will be removed eventually in the coming weeks and also I'll start to change the feed up a little. You can really see the difference in the two phenos. One's a lot like a leafy gelato and the other is OG all the way with great dense kolas. I'm expecting the Gelato type pheno to take 9-10 weeks and the OG one seems to be showing it's age more rapidly with it's pistil development and colour change beginning to start while the other seems untouched and continues to shoot newer whiter pistils!

If you're just joining us, we have these photo-dependant ladies vegging in our 48"x 24" VIVOSUN tent. I have been doing a lot of heavy defoliation and pruning the past week. I also made a few upgrades in the bloom tent and moved a few of the cultivars into bloom under 12/12. Also, I realized my BlueLab Conductivity Meter has the option to switch to EC. Since EC is the most accurate way to measure the nutrient concentration in a solution, I will now be measuring and reporting EC readings rather than PPM. I am honestly super stoked about every single plant in this run. That said, I think I am probably most impressed by the 🍭🎅🏻 COTTON CANDY CANE lady from Emerald Triangle Seeds. She is incredibly vigorous. She was started nearly a month after all the others (except the 🦍🍪 GORILLA x COOKIES) and has already caught up to some of the taller plants in the run. Special thanks to those guys for sending the freebies for me to try out! Definitely want to try more from this breeder! She is almost a month behind the other plants and is almost as tall as the tallest cultivars started on 8/10. All in all, everything looks great. Any advice, suggestions, or constructive criticisms are always welcome. Now, for the weekly break down! •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• THIS WEEK'S BREAK DOWN •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• 9/30 - Day 52 for Majority of the Garden - 🍭🎅🏻 COTTON CANDY CANE: Day 26 - 🦍🍪 GORILLA x COOKIES: Day 39 °°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°° 🎥 FILMING DAY! 🎥 •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• 10/1 - Day 53/Day1 of Bloom for Majority of the Garden - 🍭🎅🏻 COTTON CANDY CANE: Day 27/Day of Bloom - 🦍🍪 GORILLA x COOKIES: Day 40 °°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°° 📸 PHOTOSHOOT! 📸 🎥 FILMING DAY! 🎥 👩‍💻 UPGRAYED! 👩‍💻 - Added a BOTANICARE 48" x 48" low-tide flood tray on top of six 4" tall cinder-blocks with a low-profile motorcycle oil-pan for the water to drain into beneath the flood tray. - I transplanted eleven cultivars into black 12" tall Active Aqua brand 12" x 12" square pots and inserted 3' fiberglass garden stakes into the center of the rootball near the main stem of each plant. Each stake goes to the bottom of the 12" pot. All transplants have nice solid root balls due to being slightly rootbound. I knew I'd likely run short on premixed soil, so I decided to transplant the largest plants first. Of course, I ran out of soil after 11 plants were transplanted. It seems like I used a lot more soil than usual with this method and in tgese pots. - I mixed a new batch of soil using the same recipe. I will give the five smallest gorls a few more days to grow taller. That will give this batch of soil a little time to innoculate. - I moved the 11 transplants into the 96" x 48"bloom tent under 12/12 lighting schedule. 🚿FEED DAY!🚿 She received approximately 1 gallon of solution.

I placed the 2 seeds in a damp paper towel and placed it into a closed Tupperware. The tupperware was placed in my stereo cabinet (warmest place I could find) and less than a day taps roots were showing. I then placed them in my humidity dome and within 18hrs I had roots sprouting thru the bottom of the sponge. This has been the best start I have yet to have. I also built a new RDWC system with waterfalls to veg and flower these two in. I have photos and video above on the new tent setup. I have it running with just regular tap water until the seedlings are ready to go in. I have also installed a 90gpd RO system (APEC brand) under my kitchen sink. The water comes out 5.8ph and 7ppm. I will be using this RO water thru the entire grow with some Cal-mag of course. The system holds about 25 gallons total of water. The main res is 17 gallons and the two buckets are 5 gallons. I will no longer be using air stones. I have a recirculating pump in the main res, waterfalls in the buckets and of course the main pump running the whole system. Should be plenty of air for the roots. I used 2 in return pipes in the hopes of avoiding roots clogging the pipes. I scrogged last time but I'm not sure I will be going that route. I might just top and train. I will be doing a major defoliation on one and just simple trimming on the other. I am trying to find out if the risks of stressing the plant are worth the returns. Well wish me luck....and away we go.

Hello Diary. The last week was over and we came to the end of the journey. Ten weeks in total, three weeks of vegetation and seven weeks of flowering, and a total of 77 days since Mimosa # 1 sprouted, while Mimosa # 2 sprouted a few days later but their harvest was the same day. Last week there were no surprises, I watered the plants regularly and observed the development of trichomes. Mimosa # 1 - beautiful structure of the stem, I had to connect the branches to the stem and the stick that I put later, so that the branches would not crack and the plant would be more beautiful for the last photo shoot. The flowers are smaller and more airy, they did not fill as I expected, but they are full of trichomes, sticky under the fingers and have a strong scent. I will see what the flowers will look like after drying. Mimosa # 2 - looks a lot better. Although she stretched a lot, the flowers filled much better than her sister Mimosa # 1. With the look of the flowers, I wouldn’t say it’s the same strain. I had to stabilize it with tying, the whole plant swayed heavily given the weight of the flowers at the top of the stalk. Both plants have been closer to light than Migro recommends in the last few weeks, but as far as I can see, nothing has hurt them. As I expect to harvest, this week I followed the development of trichomes on the flowers, most of them milky and when I noticed the appearance of browns, I prepared everything and had a harvest. So I harvested all three plants in the grow box the same day. The condition in the grow box is satisfactory, the temperature is around 29 degrees and the humidity is slightly lower than 50%, and one fan blows all the time, mixing the air in the box. I can't say yet exactly if I am satisfied, we will see after drying what we managed to achieve. As for the yield, I don’t believe it will be spectacular, especially with Mimosa # 1, but I won’t predict anything in advance. After I cut the plants at the bottom of the stalk, I hung them in a grow-box upside down to dry. Since I dry whole plants in one piece with the flowers, they will probably take longer to dry completely. The ventilation will stay on to make the airflow better. Here’s what the last week looked like. 19/07/2021 - Day 65. Watering. I adjusted the p.H to 6.3 and with 8 liters of water I watered all three plants evenly. Temp / Humidity on the farm - 30 degrees and 51% humidity. 21/07/2021 - Day 67. Watering. p.H 6.4. Same procedure as two days earlier. Temp / Humidity on the farm - 28 degrees and 41% humidity. 23/07/2021 - Day 69. Last watering. p.H I dropped to 6.4. Temp / Humidity on the farm - 29 degrees and 48% humidity. 25/07/2021 - Day 71. Photography and Harvest. After taking photos and video, I cut off the plant at the bottom of the stalk and hung it in a grow-box to dry in the dark. Whenever I write a report from the last week, some nostalgia overwhelms me after the harvest. I hang out with them every day, I take care of them, I send them positive energy and I hope they will reward me richly for it. We'll see what the reward will be here. See you soon with the final report.

Hi all 🧑‍🌾 Welcome to my 🍌💜👊 week update. Hope everyone keeping well and having a great week😁 Thank you so much for so much support on this bananas ride 🙏💜💚💜💚 Everything still going pretty well. Girls are developing and stretching like crazy. Athena currently Dec 14 90cm and main stem of Xena is not far of this height either. Unfortunately noticed first signs of calcium deficiency(my opinion) on Athena. Thankfully started feeding both girls with calmag weeks back but the dosage wasn't not enough for Athena. Started small treatment very next day on Dec 11 (see description below) I belive got my baby back on right track. Week 9 Dec 11-17 Dec 11 Watering was planned for Tuesday but due to calcium deficiency decided for a little treatment. Watered both girls with mixture of reduced content of growth nutes by 50% calmag at 1.2 ml per ltr. Reduced solution PH to 6.2 as apperently it's ideal for calcium consumption. Over period 4h I have watered Athena with 5ltr with couple runoffs. Xena 3ltr. Total of 7-10 leaves affected mainly at top colas close to the light. Dec 12-13 Purely observation and all looking well. Of course all affected leaves will progres of showing signs but good news is that growth and development booming and don't see any new leaves with symptoms. Very nice trichomes development in recent days and more and more colours. Dec 14 Second watering for this week 6.5l Increased calmag to 1.4ml per ltr and if still things will be looking well reduce to 1 or 1.2 on next feeding. Dec 15 Very nice respond on yesterday feeding. They definitely fatten over night and getting more and more frosty. Will need to remove some foliage soon as getting extremely bushy again. Dec 17 Xenas main stem top cola almost touched the light today. Tied her to left side of the cabinet, applied selective defoliation on both girls, tied few branches to netting and on the end of this busy day a third watering for this week. 7 ltrs beetwen both. Runoffs Xena PH6.4 Athena 6.3. Very nice week have to say. I belive that calcium deficiency on Athena is no longer a case here and both girls developing very nicely. Both are still stretching, buds are gaining in size and both girls started exploding with trichomes, Thank you all again for such amazing support 🙏peace and love brothers and sisters ✌️💚💜💚💜💚 Stay tuned for new week update 😉🧑‍🌾✌️💚

Dernière semaine de croissance. Changement de solution fait le dimanche 22/11 car le ph commençait à descendre en dessous de 6.2 et cela faisait 1 semaine que j'avais fais le précèdent changement. Le PH lors du changement était de 6,8. Il est monté jusqu'à 7.5 mais je laisse le filtre faire son oeuvre. Il est actuellement à 7.1 et continue de descendre naturellement. carence en fer. Ajout d'une dose supplémentaire de Sensi CalMg Edit au 25 : Malheureusement ce que je sentais venir est arrivé, saturation en N. Le Ph et l'EC continuaient de baisser tous les deux. Les parties basses des plantes étant sombre et ayant une carence en fer sur la partie haute (puisque élément mobile), j'en ai déduit que c'était une carence en fer induite par une surfertilisation en N. J'étais à un EC de 1, je suis revenu à 0,8 le mardi 25 au soir. La bioponie est très capricieuse au niveau de l'azote. Le mercredi 26 le ph remonte ce qui signifie qu'on a stopé le processus de dégradation du N. Je devrais changer la solution mais je dois passer bientôt en flo donc j'ai enlevé de l'eau et rajouter, histoire de tenir jusqu'au prochain changement de solution qui est prévu samedi sauf si la situation dégénere de nouveau avec le PH. Last week of growth. Change of solution made on sunday 22/11 because the ph was starting to drop below 6.2 and it's been 1 week since I made the previous change. The PH at the time of the change was 6.8. It went up to 7.5 but I let the filter do its job. It is currently at 7.1 and continues to drop naturally. iron deficiency. Addition of an extra dose of Sensi CalMg Last update : Unfortunately what I felt was coming has happened, N saturation. Ph and EC both continued to drop. As the lower parts of the plants were dark and iron deficient (on top because is mobil nutrient), I deduced that it was an iron deficiency induced by N overfertilization. I was at an EC of 1, I came back to 0.8 on Tuesday evening the 25th. Biopony is very capricious in terms of nitrogen. On Wednesday the 26th the ph goes up which means that we stopped the N degradation process. I should change the solution but I have to float soon so I removed some water and added more, to hold until the next change of solution which is planned for Saturday unless the situation degenerates again with the PH. Ultima semana de crecimiento. Cambio de solución hecho el domingo 22/11 porque el ph empezaba a bajar de 6.2 y ha pasado 1 semana desde que hice el cambio anterior. El PH en el momento del cambio era de 6,8. Subió a 7.5 pero dejé que el filtro hiciera su trabajo. Actualmente está en 7.1 y sigue bajando naturalmente. deficiencia de hierro. Adición de una dosis extra de Sensi CalMg Ultima hora : Desafortunadamente lo que sentí que venía, la saturación de N. El pH y la EC continuaron bajando. Como las partes inferiores de las plantas eran oscuras y con deficiencia de hierro, deduje que se trataba de una deficiencia de hierro inducida por la sobrefertilización de N. Estaba en un EC de 1, volví a 0.8 el martes 25 por la noche. La bioponía es muy caprichosa en términos de nitrógeno. El miércoles 26 el PH sube, lo que significa que detuvimos el proceso de degradación del N. Debería cambiar la solución pero tengo que flotar pronto así que saqué un poco de agua y añadí más, para mantenerlo hasta el próximo cambio de solución que está previsto para el sábado a menos que la situación degenere de nuevo con el PH.

D35: gave her 30 grams of organic granular phosphorous grains (6-16-0) and gave her a thorough watering untill it reached runoff. D37: Days were with intense sunlight and a lot of wind. Gave her another good watering and 30g of organic granular potassium grains (2-0-20). Given that the days are all sunny the last days and they're bound to stay that way, I think I'll water her every 2 days as she's using a lot of water these days and that way the granular feeder gets dissolved more quickly into the soil. D40: She's looking absolutely great. Really enjoying the sunshine and warm weather of the past week (she did get some really minor sunburn spots on +-4 fan leaves, but she did't seem stunted by it). She keeps on growing every day and she has a lot of promising tops. The LST has been working out really well! I'm doing my best trying to tuck away as many leaves blocking the sunlight from the bud sites, but there's starting to get a lot of them so I don't really know what I should do. Should I trim the ones that are in the way of the bud sites and that I can't really tuck away or should I leave them on for photosynthesis? The flowers are also really developing and she's really starting to give a good smell. Looking forward to the following days/weeks! D42: I watered her again, around 3l, and added another 20g of potassium grains. That's going to be the final amount of fertilizer she's getting. First gave her 1,5l of plain tap water and then another 1,5l which was 50% tap water and 50% sparkling water, mixed with a teaspoon of molasse. The overall nutrient scheme was thus: * D20: 25g organic granular fertilizer (6-3-3) * D28: 35g organic granular fertilizer (6-3-3) * D35: 30g organic granular phosphorous grains (bone meal) (6-16-0) * D37: 30g of organic potassium grains (2-0-20) * D42: 20g of organic potassium grains (2-0-20)

______________ An interim update: ______________ The pre-bloom has started. The plant is preparing for its last growth spurt. The growth in the last days is therefore substantial. For the time being no real problems. Apart from the additives that I provide, no additional nutrients have been added. A little too much N, because of this there is a little bit of burned leaftips. But hopefully a bit of a push can not hurt too much;) a new update at the end of the week. _________________ End of week 4 update: _________________ The bloom has begun. The growth was very exuberant this week. 25 centimeters larger than at the beginning of the week. There are a lot of shoots with budsites. Have given some flowering nutrients for the first time, albeit a low dose. The problem with the burned leaf tips has also been solved. A little too much of N did not hurt the plant. The grow mix of plagron is perhaps a bit too 'powerful' for young plants. But no real negative consequences, so no problem. I gave the plant also a nice 'shower' today with iron spray. She seems to like it. On to the real first week of flowering

Flowering has begun, pistils have formed and calyx's have grown too. Almost no veg cycle at all with this one, but totally different nutrient regimin compared to my other autos which are 6 weeks in and have no pistils at all.

There are some smokable buds but most of these are for seeds…I will wait the seeds to finish mature then consider the smokable buds…so far so good
