Well... I just learned to be more gentle with my ladies I ve broken one of the leaves when I was turning the pot ... poor GG watered with Green Planet nutrients I just hope she won't get mad on me. Nothing really more exciting after those 15 days. Ohh I would forget, I bough a more expensive PH meter because I thought the cheap one that i get from Amazon is not correct. well... ...both of em are showing the same thing. From 14th day I decided to add some silicone and calmag agent into the diet of RQS ldies because they definitely are growing slower and the EC of the solutions made with RQS GROW tablets were a bit too low. I also decided to spray my ladies once a week with foliar from vitalink

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/

Week 7, one more week and i will harvest this precious girls, they dont require lot of attention and even slightly less nutrients would have done the trick! I still have 1 of these ladies in veg so i now what to expect and what to do! Great strain, very generous with very little attention, the perfect strain, a very nice sweet smell, it reminds me of candy very sweet, its going to be delicious for sure!

Day 65, 17th of November 2020: Welcome back at the beggining of the 3rd week of flowering. They seem to be stopped streching and now concentrating on buds. All of them are gorgeous..... The 2 Zamnesia genetics Gelato and Kalini Asia are pretty and buds are forming nicely. Kalini Asia might strech a bit more but not long. The Sweet Seed ones are really nice and I am so happy because Red Hot Cookies is already getting red.... pistils and around the leaves.. I hope the same happens to the Red Mandarine and Tropicanna Poison also. They are so gorgeous. They calmed down I don't expect more strech. Fertilization still the same every 2nd day with the ratio and mix above. Some lollipopping (Defoliation) is also done. I removed all the LST the plant remains in the same shape from now. The lamp is on 11.30 min and off 12.30 min. Last week was 15 min longer light cycle.... So every week 15 min shorter light cycle until the 5th week. So far -30 min. It switches on at 6 am and off at 17.30 pm.

We are officially in full bloom. The have been enjoying 6-7 hours of sun light per day for about 4 days now, then brought back in under the cobs. The girls are all exploding with growth and stacking what I expect to be huge buds.

Day 1 Never grown before, but always liked plants. Especially plants like these 😊 Seeds came today. Only one will be grown for now (Bloody Skunk Auto). The seed was slightly scraped (purposefully), and then placed in distilled water. Seed sank to the bottom with a little push after 6 hours. Hopefully that's a good sign :) Seed was then taken and put into rooting medium. Currently lights are on 24/0 to warm the area surrounding the seed. Tomorrow temperature/humidity measurement will be set up. Day 2 Was able to measure the temperature. It's about 22 C. Natural humidity is a bit low in the area (35%), so a humidifier is being used occasionally to increase that. Seed has sprouted now (15 hrs after being put in the rooting medium), maybe in two days there will be some real growth 😊 Day 3 Root looks like it's off to a good start. Positioning seems a bit off though. Will keep an eye on it for the next couple of days. Day 4 There was a surprise waiting today 😁 Plant pushed through the piece of sponge at the top without a problem apparently. The light has been switched to a 125W 5500K CFL, for now without any reflector. A bit worried that this might be too strong, especially for a seedling. However there aren't other 5500K or higher Kelvin value lamps available, so going with this one for a couple of days. If there are problems, will go back to just a collection of 2700K bulbs and hope the plant survives haha. Got a heating pad, so now the temperature is being kept around a comfortable 73-76 F. Night temperatures should drop to around 66-68 F. Lighting schedule has been switched to a 20/4 schedule, to allow for better plant development. Will probably stay with this schedule for the first couple of weeks. Could also see the taproot poking out of the Root!t sponge. Not sure if that's going to bad for this root to be exposed to light at this stage. Once (if) the leaves start to get wider than the Root!t sponge the plant and sponge will be transplanted to a small 1 Liter pot. If the roots continue growing but the plant stays stunted then it will also be transplanted. Andddd....got nervous about the 125W lamp. Decided to switch it out for the previous lights (two LEDs, two CFLs, all at 2700K). Total lux value is about 10000 measured by the seedling. Seemed also like the seedling might have been craving some water, so gave it a few drops. It hadn't been watered since being planted. Hopefully not over-watering here... Day 5 Seedling has grown by another centimeter. Leaves haven't really changed that much. Nevertheless, decided to put the seedling in a slightly larger container. The cup was taken and filled with some potting soil (Compo Sana Anzuchterde) and the Root!t sponge put into that. Did this because the tap root was poking even further out of the sponge and didn't like that. Gave some more water, mainly in the lower section of the soil. Will not water again for a few days unless it seems really too dry. Don't want to over-water 😑 Day 6 Seedling doubled in height. Starting to get concerned about stretching. Read conflicting information about the optimal humidity for seedlings, but most seemed to say that less was better, and a humidity dome not necessary after sprouting. One source suggested that seedlings stretch when under a humidity dome. So that's been removed. Switched to the 125W lamp as well in case the seedling was stretching because of not enough light. Added a fan for a breeze to occasionally move the seedling...hopefully this will make the stem a bit sturdier. First set of leaves has begun to develop a bit more..but it seems a bit slow. Might just be being impatient 😄 Day 7 Not much has changed. Soil is getting to be dry enough where watering again should be ok. So that will be done tomorrow morning, with a small amount of BioBizz RootJuice.

🌸 Mentha de Croco | Week 2 Flower (Week 13 from Seed) Grow Style: Indoor | Medium: Pro-Mix HP | Feed Program: Aptus Holland Clean Program | Genetics: Mentha de Croco by Terpyz Genetics Lighting: FOG LED Black Series | Controller: TrolMaster Photoperiod: 11/13 (Light/Dark) Camera: Sony A6000 capturing all the vibes ⸻ This week marks a major chapter in our Mentha de Croco mutant hunt: the second week of flower — and the official reveal of who’s who in the garden. As expected with regular seeds, we had both males and females, and this was the week we identified them all. From the original 12 beans, 5 revealed themselves as proud ladies while the rest — equally stunning in structure and expression — turned out to be males. 🌿 💚 Let’s talk about regular seeds and plant sex: Regular seeds are unsexed, meaning they can become either male or female. It’s a 50/50 genetic roll of the dice — and with unique mutant genetics like these, identifying sex isn’t always easy early on. Males typically show small pollen sacs, often referred to as “bananas” in their early stage. Females develop pistils, the first hairs of the flowers we’re after. Male plants, while beautiful and structurally fascinating (especially in this mutant project), can compromise a flowering room if left unchecked. Their pollen can fertilize female plants, leading to seeded buds — great if breeding, not great for clean flower. So, we say goodbye, thank them for their beauty, and move forward with the ladies to full bloom. The males? They’ll return to the earth as beautiful compost. 🌱✨ ⸻ This Week’s Feeding Schedule (Aptus Holland Clean Program): • Regulator – Strengthening cell walls and stress resistance • System Clean – Sanitizing the water lines (preventative, even if not in a system) • RO Water Conditioner – Prepping and balancing the base • All-in-One Liquid – Increased dose this week to 1.5 ml/L • Breakout Powder – Boosting early flower development • EC: 1.26 • pH: 6.0 • Water Temp: 18.6°C ⸻ 🌿 Canopy Update: All plants are now under SCROG netting — not because these particular girls needed it, but because they share the space with other cultivars. It’s all about harmony in the garden. The stretch is beginning, and the light intensity has been dialed up to match — PPFD around 800. We’re thrilled to see some early floral development already peeking through. The ladies are loving the new rhythm, and it’s clear they’re ready to shine in this next stage. ⸻ 📸 Captured Moments: This week’s shots include closeups of the male flowers for educational purposes, so the community can see what early male traits look like — especially in complex, mutant-style expressions. All captured with the Sony A6000 under those rich contrasts of dark and light. ⸻ 🙏 Shout Outs & Love: Much love and thanks to the brilliant minds at Terpyz Genetics for the wild beauty of these beans, Aptus Holland for the clean and powerful nutrition, TrolMaster for the precision control, and Future of Grow for the innovation we grow under. And of course — endless gratitude to the Grow Diaries community, the growers, the learners, the lovers and even the haters — it’s all energy, and it all fuels the passion. 💚 📲 Don’t forget to follow the journey on Instagram and YouTube — always sharing the love and the lessons 🌍 Genetics - Mentha De Croco Nutrition - @aptusholland https://aptus-holland.com/ Led Power @ F.O.G.

They were showing signs of Ca and Mg deficiencies and I increased my CalMg additive at 350ppm before I add my base nutrients. They seem to love it.

Hi zusammen, das Wetter spielte die letzten Wochen leider nicht so mit und das betrifft auch den Wachstum von #2. Sie hinkt sehr hinterher und bildet nur Mini Buds. Es fehlt einfach an Licht und auch die hohe Luftfeuchtigkeit macht ihr zu schaffen. Im Zelt sieht das ganz anders aus: Zwar ist auch hier die Luftfeuchtigkeit relativ hoch mit im Schnitt 65% diese Woche, aber die Entwicklung zu letzter Woche ist erstaunlich. Hoffe, dass ich in späteren Wochen kein Problem mit Schimmel bekomme. Ansonsten sehr schöne Blütenbildung und Wachstum, die Trichome erkennt man mit bloßem Auge sehr gut. Den Dünger hab ich gut angepasst und noch mal ordentlich was draufgepackt. Gießen muss ich so etwa jeden 1 1/2 Tag mit knapp 3 L pro Pflanze, die draußen bekommt etwa 3 L jeden zweiten Tag. Bin gespannt, ob sich bei #2 noch mal was tut, ansonsten wird’s ne schöne Garten Deko 😅 Wünsche euch ein schönes Wochenende und stay high 🏻🍀 Gruß Wulle

Well hello there 👋 thanks for stopping by and joining this journey of my White Widow grow! 💯 So to begin the week I was thinking....should I screw with this lovely girl or shouldn't I....?!?!?! Weeelllllllllll..... I just could not resist and dove right in lmao!!! Now in the new pictures for the week I really hope I've done my research and try and look for documentation about "LEAF LINING" and I am pretty sure there has been no terminology about it so I'm sure there will be critics and I look forward to your knowledge towards this training method for similarities....💯 MOVING ON 🤦‍♂️ Alright here we go.... so the beginning of the week I measured her at 8inchs. She grew a good 2.5 inches in 5 days so I had to top this girl because of height issues in the tent. I ultimately feel this was the absolute best thing for my height and the plant! 💯 and I 100% do not want to kick her early!!!! Now she's grown an 1inch since topping her 2 days ago and the prizes inside are flourishing and are growing like wild fire 🔥 🔥🔥 What until you see them 🤯 So what I have done to the inside this week is what I like to call "LEAF LINING" I basically pin the shoots created by the fan leaves to the actual fan leaf itself!!!! I know right 🤯 This has proven to be very effective which you can see the length of the shoots themselves. (some are 3.5inchs long) The stock of the fan leaves provide a straight path for growth outward! Its truly fascinating! (PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF THIS HAS TERMINOLOGY OR NOT) Ok so I have introduced a new idea to the grow! Adding a Ring of 4 rows of wire that are attached in a circle to the top of the self-wick pot. I have fastened it using Zip ties as I did for the "LEAF LINING" 👈🤪 This was introduced for when those shoots grow out with the fan leaves as the fan leaf can no longer be of support at some point. Cant wait for that to happen. This is going be a wild ride growmies and growmettes!!!! I will continue to show you guys and gals thorough pictures of my training methods moving forward cause I think your going to start to see growers use this method 🤞 Thanks for stopping by and I really appreciate the love and support that comes from the great community of growers on grow diaries!!! Love you all!!! 👊 hey guys and gals! Posted alittlw video so you can get to know me 😆
