Overall, this is 9th week of flower for the entire F'22 grow season. With French Macaron beginning week 7 flower and Afgooey #1 and #2 in mid-week 5 of flower. The Afgooey #3 is just starting to form tiny budlets after an extensive defoliation as she's squatty with lots of foliage.
Updates & Observations - a lot of maintenance this week from continual ph'ing and flushing as Afgooey #2 has joined the French Macaron with low ph runoff readings. Given I'm growing in a living soil mix with periodic top dressings and teas every 7-10 days, I'm stumped. So, no more feedings for the French Macaron until harvest. Decided that next watering I will flush both girls with fresh rain water captured/stored which I have stored outside in 30 gallon barrels. Rain water tested at 7.2 ph, which to me is good enough for the flushing. It's raining for 3-4 days next week, so this will exhaust existing supply and replace with fresh rain water. Perfect timing. Will update next week.
Pre flowering has begun and she's all bent up to take advantage of the stretch and see if we can improve the yields of this micro grow. She's definitely strong and becoming increasingly gassy as well. I told ya the good times were coming soon and here they are.
After dropping my plant last week I thought it was done for.
But the new light really seemed to make all the difference for her. Having her in the tent is good because I can control the humidity a little better. But to be honest I'm doing a crap job at it ... Humidity can be anywhere between 50 and 80%.
When I went to work on Tuesday the plant jumped up. Amazing how much growth in just a few hours. I was thinking about whether I should top her or not. I don't think I will though because she seems like a nice sturdy little plant
At the end of the week I decided she really needed to be repotted.. I thought I was pushing it going early but I got a new light in and was planning to take her off the shelf and move her to the floor so it seemed a good time.
Turned out to be a good choice. She's lovely
Great week for this tent. The plants are exploding with growth and the colour is incredible. The mammoth lights are really a game changer once you have everything dialed in. Still only giving them around 750ppfd to encourage more stretch.
J'ai commencé le rinçage depuis 1 semaine. Les trichomes des Mazar commençaient à tourner ambré. ⚪?
Avec le rinçage, une seconde floraison intervient, et la plante décale sa maturité avec l'arrosage abondant j'ai l'impression. Quand dites vous ?!
Les doses d'engrais sont pour la Libanaise et la Sinaï dorénavant.
Comme vous pouvez le voir, tout va bien !
This was a good grow, I was hoping for a bigger phenotype but overall I’m happy. She smells sweet and dank, all her flowers are pretty dense and compact. She has good resistance to stress and humidity considering her structure.
Regando solo con agua ya 2 semanas, sin necesidad de lavado el cultivo probiotico me lo permite las flores ya están maduran y se nota una densidad enorme en las special queen y en las green gelato de royal queen seeds
No surprises. Topping has been done at this point. Temperature and humidity controlled as much as possible. Some bending and light intensity increase. A 2x4 tent is actually too small to bring two plants to the height and spread that I would have liked. Ideal for one plant. Targeted not to have these 2 tent plants grow higher than 36” to avoid overcrowding.

Week 5.5 i got two distinct phenos.
An exodus x pre98 bubba pheno smells like sweet cheese i was looking for and big forsty nugs!
2nd pheno is straight up candy skittles but small buds 😞
Cheat codes are keeping her happy and spitting out long ass trichomes ive ever seen before week 7.
I also added a UVAB CFL bulb to the mix 😈
All that mimicks outdoor.
Anyone who says their outdoor is better terps and high thqn their indoor is doing it wrong.
Seems like Far red doin it's job...i switched from 13/11 to 12/12 week ago. No delay witnessed😚
I wonder what week 8 would look like 🤔
The terps are already coming through really well, I'm curious to see what it will be like in 1-2 weeks
👇 This week:
---
Watering 1l-1.5l every day.
PPFD at canopy height approximately 900, VPD ~1.3, Lights on 92%
Some defo, lollipopped last 2 plants GC
Compost tea 0.5l/plant - 👉 See recipe week 11 👈

Happy growing and thanks for checking out my report! I really appreciate you! 😁💪🙏
Mir gefällt Melonade Runtz bis jetzt sehr gut. Sie hat einen schnellen Wachstum und macht den Anschein als würde sie dicke fette Buds produzieren. Ich bin sehr gespannt wie dieser Run wird. Bis jetzt hatte keine Pflanze irgendwelche Mangelerscheinungen. Stabile Genetik von Dutch Passion 💚
This week, the plants got a defoliation and a watering with natural rainwater, taking advantage of the weather. Nothing much left now except for them to fatten up.
Still going...sigh...
3/18 ; did a water change and man is ut getting awkward getting her out of the tent to do water changes. I might drill and put a valve on the very bottom of the bucket next grow to make water changes a little easier in the future. 4 gallons of well water with 4 tsp of maxi grow and 1 tsp of Kool bloom. I added 1 tbl of calmag for the hell of it. The older leaves are looking a little stressed. The buds seem to be swelling to me, but strange enough, seems like the smell is decreasing. But what there is, is very fruity.ph to 6.1
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! 🍌✨
Beautifull strain with crazy smell and huge amount of thc. All you want in your weed and more 🙏💪
Pictures were took after one week of drying, will post more and the real weight in the near future.
