Tag 95: Die Fat Banana macht ihren Namen alle Ehre. Sie bekommt ziemlich fette Köpfe und richt sehr süß 😘

Day42 from seed. Day15 of flowering. Going to feed today as shes dried out in the greenhouse.im abit worried about moisture levels inside the greenhouse during the night. Especially when it rains because you can actually see the condensation on the inside. Overall shes really blooming. Day 45. Greenhouse is working a treat. Fed again today. Shes sticky and sweet smelling abit piney and lemony look at the growth Day 48. Due a feed again as shes dried out again. Taking alot more feed in the tent. Shes bloody beautiful 😍

Hulkberry has continued to develop big fat buds, which are becoming frosty! The leaf situation is not looking pretty. I had taken down my Northern Lights, which was really large, and decided to rearrange the tent. I noticed that the worst leaves were all on the side of the plant closest to the lights. She has much more space now and hopefully will manage to finish out nicely. She is still feeding heavily and needs to be watered several litres a day or so. Here is what I fed her this week: 10.6.25: The plant was watered with 6ltrs of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.2. I added per 6.5 litres; ♡ 7ml Ecothrive Trace ♡ 1/4 TSP Sea K(elp) PPM: 605 PH: 6.2 I decided to feed each plant separately and mix it up in the 2l jug. 12.6.25: I watered with 4L of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.4 and containing the following nutrients per 6.5 litres; ♡ 7ml Ecothrive Trace ♡ 1/2 Tsp Ecothrive Biosys PH: 6.4 PPM: 890 14.6.25: I watered with 6L of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.4 and containing the following nutrients per 6.5 litres; ♡ 7ml Ecothrive Trace ♡ 1Tsp Mega Crop Part A by Greenleaf Nutrients PH: 6.4 PPM: 890 15.6.25 I gave 5l of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.2 with the following nutrients; ♡ 12ml Ecothrive Flourish PPM: 463 PH: 6.2 17.6.25: I watered with 4.5L of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.3 and containing the following nutrients per 6.5 litres; ♡ 1Tsp Ecothrive Biosys PH: 6.3. PPM: 436 Thanks for following along 😊🍃✌️💚🤞

Heavy rain all week again due to freak storms, very limited sunlight. Notice leaf mites and some sort of caterpillars eating away at them

Ok so I'm really impressed with this autoflower. It's a monster in my opinion. I really pushed it hard for a day or two during a heat wave. Temps were 88F, I gave it a Full dose of PK booster ( LiquidKool Bloom ) and some Raw Citrus. Plant suck the bucket DOWN FAST. I thought alright its liking it. It did but it also burned it pretty badly. So I watered it down and got a cal-mag deficiency lol. Then during the heat wave I was being to brave and left to work for 12 hours with high temperatures and the plant tops at about 2 and a half feet when its recommended 3 feet. Totally my fault. But man oh man, she took all of it pretty well in my opinion. She's a little burnt but the FROST on the buds are insane outside the tent lights. It hasn't even had 1 night of sleep its entire life. 8/15 Checked ppm and pH, felt brave and added full dose PK. 8/16 Checked ppm and pH, pH remained steady at 5.9, ppm climbed to 1200. I let it run. 8/17 Checked ppm and pH, pH remained steady at 5.9, ppm climbed to 1400 and the bucket was empty. I knew I'd see burned tips soon. Added plain pH water, dropped to 800ppm. Left it to drink water. 8/18 Checked ppm and pH, tips showing burn but its definitely swelling, was it worth it? So far I'm thinking yes. Definitely yes. Ppm 950, pH 6.0 8/19 Checked ppm and pH, ppm at 1100, pH at 6.2 I watered it down with plain pH water to 700. I was feeling brave again, added more sweetener and PK booster. Ppm at 900. ( I made a mistake over the last 2 days and forgot to add cal-mag) 8/20 Checked ppm and pH, ppm went down to 800, pH at 6.2. Made no adjustments just added Cal-mag. I already had a slight deficiency going but not adding ANY to a plant that drinks 2 gallons a day was a huge mistake. It got a lot of brown patches and yellow but not everywhere. I also realized it was to close to the CMH. Plus a heat wave sent my temp to 88F while I was at work, not sure how long. I think I got a little bit of foxtail going on the very top tips. Adjusted temperature and raised light as high as I could. 8/21 Checked ppm and pH. This plant just eats and drinks to much. None of my other plants come close to this one. I have to check it everyday. My others can go up to 3 days untouched. This monster is impressive. I would reccomend this autoflower to anyone, but it says it's an intermediate grow level. It's been super easy for me. Really hope this monster finishes soon. All trichromes are clear. Still got awhile to go. 8/22 Checked ppm and pH 8/23 Checked ppm and pH 8/24 Checked ppm and pH 8/25 Checked ppm and pH 8/26 Checked ppm and pH 8/27 Checked ppm and pH

November 2nd. 33 days post flip. Nothing crazy this week. Very light defoliation every couple days. At this point I am guaranteed no more defoliation to day 49. Along with this nothing but water this week. Plants should be able to get to the finish line with no added nutrients I’m really happy with bud development so far. They are not the largest yet but they are very very healthy and plentiful. They should really fatten up over these next few weeks. Temps have been running around 82 during the day. Because of this I’ll be adding two more small fans to the tent. One blowing on the medic grow, and one along the bottom of the canopy. I am doing this to ensure these buds stay compact. Both of the clones of the purple marmalades could not be happier. Really happy in their pots growing away slowly. The trick to keeping them small is using small fabric pots so their roots air prune, 24h light to severely limit root development and heavy defoliations whenever they get too happy. At this point in flower it is time to start giving more detailed descriptions of our 3 phenos so here we go. Plant#1(cherry chunks): 27” tall. Musty almost earthy scent. Kinda similar to pine. Weak scent so far. Appears to have the most densely populated Trichomes out of these three plants. Plant #2(Purple Marmalades): 30” tall. Smells absolutely insane. Like this is a terp monster. Very citrusy. Smells exactly like grapefruit. Very high concentration of valencene. Extremely strong scent. Also appears this one will have the largest buds of the three but only time can tell here. This one is my favorite one so far Plant #3(Purple Marmalade): 28” tall. Light scent of pepper mixed with a tiny bit of lemon. This one is the least exciting so far but only time will tell how it will turn out. As always guys. Thank you for following along and reading my updates. It’s a pleasure growing with you guys. God bless!

Well I'm not really sure where to start......Got a lot of work done around the garden this week. Got the first load of boards up on the fence and I've been bracing as I go. Grass all trimmed down and some of the inside of the plants, it was a mosquito magnet in there, wasn't fit to be in, it has gotten better. I gave them what I had left of Gaia Green 4-4-4, which was 3 cups each a little shy of what I wanted to put in so I have another bag coming here very shortly and we will top it up then.So far between everything in the garden right now we have went thru 20kg of 4-4-4, minus 6 cups for the indoor peyote super soil. Also getting some trellis as I thought I had enough from last year but cant seem to find it anywhere. They're getting pretty big now kinda makes me worry a bit, never thought they would be this big..... Purple Punch, #1: 73 inches, #2: 76 inches, #3: 78 inches Orange Sherbert, #1: 76 inches, #2: 72 inches, #3: 69 inches I got some lady bugs today and have released them. I'm hoping to be able to pick up enough boards next time I come home that I can finish closing it in. I won't be closing in the south side, I'm just going to be using the cage, please don't make me regret this...... I would really like to see the stretch set in like NOW but thats not going to happen, maybe next time I'm home we'll start to see flowers, if they don't get wrecked in the mean time, gotta get my wall up!!!!! I'm also going to be setting up an automated curing system this week, I'll have pictures up next week.

Gorilla Auto - From seed to harvest Startling growth, they got very tall quickly. When I thought the vegetative state was about to end, they grew even taller. Beginning its flowering, I chose to research methods to optimize and circumvent its size as the dimensions of my set are not those indicated for a plant that has shown itself to be very fast to develop. After some research: I followed some techniques to essentially “get light evenly across the plant” Following nutrient feeding dosages recomended by manufacturers and get no trouble at all, it will grow undoubtedly to be a majestic plant to be harvested. I got the idea that if you have more light the expected results will undoubtedly be even better than what I got with the 100w One of the characteristics that I noticed that in just 3 weeks of growth we already smell the intense plant. With regard to the buds I picked and in my case undoubtedly the ones that got the most light I can describe that they were superb in appearance and smoking very tasty, the lower though smaller ones came out with a very close quality too. Undoubtedly, this plant is what we expect when we start planting, so much to see the growth and development over the weeks, at the time of its harvest feel that the results obtained are completely above expectations. : 0) Its aroma is very good and balanced, the trip even better! ; 0) Thank you all for your support & my special thanks to RQS for the motivation you gave me!

Just started them all on the Green Buzz Liquid Organics and will run it the rest of the way. I'm not going to add much to the line just some calmag, enzymes maybe terpinator I have to experiment with it a little bit. The first feed went extremely well the plants instantly reacted within an hour after the feed especially the next day. The additives in this line barely raised PPM at all which I liked. It also doesnt stink like other liquid organics I've used. This is still one of my favorites I love the structure and seems like it should have some variation from the first pheno. It's going to get its second feed with the GBL nutes today with the rest of the crop. Day 21 of flower.

Flipped to flower November 9 2018 7 inches tall

Day 3 - begin flushing...no nutrients needed

Grow diary 11 stage 8 Day 71 to 80 This west coast o.g is attempting to flower after I knocked an hour off the lights. I'm thinking she needs me to go 12/12 so really her autoflower gene is redundant. She is taking over the tent and I'm having to move plants to another tent to finish them off. But on the bright side once the other 3 plants are out I can go back to adding a bit more nitrogen get it healthy and throw my net over her and switch to flower.

Day 19-26 (May 10th - May 17th) (Day 21) Stretch is almost over and the plants still look like they’re in veg. I’m seeing almost zero trichomes and when compared to my other room it’s laughable. At least the sites are starting to fill in a little. One plant is super leggy and stretchy. I’m guessing it’s Jack Herer but won’t know until late flower or harvest. The plant in the far left corner has great structure and thick pistil clumps. I’m guessing it’s either blueberry or the white og. Blueberry has a pretty distinct smell so differentiating all the strains won’t be that hard actually. (Day 24) I’ve been rearranging the plants once in a while just to get all sides exposed to some decent light. I never realized how much I value my LED until this run. The only way I would ever use another hps for flower is if it was one of those 1000w DE lights that all the commercial grows use. Sites are starting to fill in quite a bit now. Trichomes are still non existent though. Even on the archive genetics which is really surprising. (Day 25) Pots somewhat dried out finally. Tomorrow I’m going to leach everything with another 2 liters each and top dress with 15ml of nature’s pride bloom, 10ml of Destiny launch and 5ml of kelp meal. I’m starting to see minor N tox on some of the plants so I will probably give them a full gallon. This tent is largely experimental so I’m going to fuck with these plants pretty heavy to iron out some theories and try some new techniques. (Day 26) When I was watering today I noticed that slurricane, Puro loco and guava cake all hermed. The archives just got too stressed out in early veg I think. When I dug up both plants they were still being choked out by the sponge aerogarden plugs. Puro Loco was leading by far in the trichome department too. The guava cake was from a hermed bagseed so it’s not surprising at all but that kind of pisses me off about the “elite” Archive genetics, especially if you paid 200$ for a 10 pack. Then again, it was still my error and not their genetics. Luckily I didn’t pay a dime for them. Running those was a complete waste of time and space. With proper environment and no seedling stress I’m sure I could have grown some amazing looking stuff. All the European and Canadian genes look fine though. I’m sure they would have filled out a lot more if they weren’t being choked out by hermies. No signs of bananas anywhere else. Hopefully the 4 slurricanes I have outdoor this year will pull through without herming.

Week 4 and they look amazing • Today (Day 23) I cleaned and calibrated my EC tester (bluelab truncheon) and after mixing the same nutrients as last week the EC was reading 2.8! I was thinking this mixture was coming out at 1.7. Either way the plants are healthy and the EC has not been dropping or rising so I have kept the nutrients the same this week. I will monitor the EC closely through out the week now as 2.8 EC is pretty strong, I might have to dilute the tank, we will see. I will now do tests with the nutrient amounts I used previously and edit the EC leves for the previous weeks. • Second day into week 4 and they have drunk 40L (last week was 35L) of water between them. Thats 4.5L each. The EC level has also dropped to 2.7 from 2.8, so even though it is crazy high they are still taking it. • Midweek and the EC in the tank has risen. I knew it would as it's been set way too high. It was set at 2.8 (by mistake) and it has risen to 3.2. The plants look OK but a little dark. There's no tip burn or anything. I have given them a flush with weak nutrients (1.4 EC). • Midweek and I have noticed a touch of powdery mildew. Caught it really early so I will install a hotbox sulfume. The sulfur will coat the leaves and stop the mildew in its tracks. Watch this space.

7 days drying, now for the airtight pot with boveda 58% thanks guys for the support !!

Into Week 8 now and really filling out. A good solid healthy outdoor plant with little to no extra care or intervention so far, really happy with it and excited to see how it finishes out. Scratched in some Coast of Maine Fish Bone Meal toward the end of the week and then lightly watered in for a little feed.

Heatwave is here:( Equipment is struggling. Hard to watch over grow room constantly. Surge protector tripping out as the equipment never cools down or has a break. A/C and dehumidifier running 24 hrs. Plus I had to hook up another a/c unit for the family. Got to keep them cool at night too. I’d feel bad if my ladies were cooler then my girls 😜 Got new lights but they were to intense even at the recommended distance. Just had to much light and to much overlapping made it to intense. I took out the 2 smaller 600’s and now just have the 2-2000’s in there but with the heatwave I had to dim them to 50% and now 25% incase I don’t get home in time from work and not able to open tent all the way as equipment is not doing the job in this heat:( also if the circuit trips out again then I don’t want the temps to sky rocket. Last few times it trip temps and humidity increased to 86F and 65% RH, mind you I corrected it within the hour of it happening each time, so not to bad and that’s at the top of the canopy and lower into it didn’t quite get that high as on the floor it only raised to 82F. And for my troubles I see what I believe is the start of burnt leaves:( I should have known better as the top growth seemed to be a bit lighter and stretchy:( I’ll have these lights better dialled in for next time! Grow on!
