New week starts __________ 🌞26.04 It's a first day of pre-flowering period today. I've changed schedule to 12/12hrs and turned on third 100w lamp. (This is not entirely correct, because I'm using one and a half 200W lamp. There was no room for two of them and I was forced to cut one of them in a half) My babies started to grow dramatically fast after flushing two days ago and i decided to do one more particial defoliation procedure. Now a yong branches they grew has more light and space wich should help them to produce more flowers. Spraiyed all four with 'Sea Weed' and prepared to feel a strong smell after a few days (if You know what I mean 😉). I'll flush them with 'FloraKleen' solution tomorrow to outwash saults, then start to feed them in a 'Pre-flowering' mode. 🌞27.04 Nothing today except 'SeaWeed' spraying. I decided to not flush my plants today, because the soil is still too wet. I'll do this procedure tomorrow in the morning (when the lights will turns on). Girls are growing dramatically fast now, especially 'Hulk Berry' wich was the smallest. It dobled its volume in one night! 🌞28.04 I flushed my plants with 45 litres of 'GHE FloraKleen' solution in 3ml/l retio. It was a success! Drenage EC fall from 1.9 to 0.9 (from 1850ppm to 800). Now I'll wait four or five days before watering to soil dry. Also, I spraiyed them with 'GHE Sea Weed' as usual. 'RG'#1 leaves already toching my box wall, but I am afraid to defoliate it once more to pervent male flowers developing because of a big stress on pre-flowering period. 🌞29.04 All four plants are growing faster then ever after "GHE FloraKleen" flushing. Their leaves became 1.5 times wider in one night! Even 'HB' miniature leaves are spredding out in size. I spraiyed them with 'G.H. Protect' today. 🌞30.04 My plants crones are too thyck. They're asking for one more defoliation, literally. I'm still afreid to do this. Maybe I will do this a few days laiter when I'll water them. Till then I'm only bending big leaves under the top of a branches. 'G.H.Protect' spraing and that's all for today. 🌞01.05 Nothing for today. Even no spraying. My grow box is in the 'stealth' mode (hidden in the wardrobe-looking shell) so there will be no photo today. It's too difficult to open it, ecpesially there is no sense to do this just to take a picture. I'll water my plants tomorrow, so there will be an update. 🌞02.05 No watering today, the soil still too wet. I made one more defoliation instead. Almost half of a crones were cutted (big old leaves and some lowest branches). I think it's a good thing, because there were alot of new branches and no light reaching them. Now light goes toll the very bottom of my plants, forcing small yong leaves to grow quicker. ___________ Week ends.

Hi guys, At the end of the story, I am very happy with the whole cycle and finally the outcome, since I almost killed everything in there 😂 Fat Banana is a very nice fruity-kush strain ,with a genetic background tracing back to OG Kush x Chiquita Banana. It is a heritage with a lot of power behind it, this can be seen in the potency of Fat Banana’s bud, which can reach up to 25%+ THC in just 9 weeks! When grown with an expert hand (NOT MINE😅). The potential here is great! I did have problems throughout the cycle overfertilizing the plant. This is one of the strain that did notice more my mistake, can be clearly seen on the final product. Infact, a good part of the flowers, went for bubble hash, I kept a bit to try it out because the smell its amazing. I topped her and then, because of an accidents I mainlined her, first to try the Mainlining training and 2nd as it was the only one I had, I wanted to grow her. Probably If I wouldnt have messed up with the ferilizer I would have had a much better final product, this time, talking about quantity and quality. The whole plants were dried for 18 days after which they were finished in jars for another 6 weeks, if I dont fell sooner. Gonna grow this strain again 80% I would like to thank Grow Diaries for this amazingly-organized community they have created, where we all can learn a lot, and share something we really love. Thanks to everyone who stopped by and looked at the diary, squeezed the like button or comment the diary. 13/12 I'VE MADE MY FIRST RUN OF BUBBLE HASH! Very very happy with the end result, did not weight anything yet because is still wet big time, I lightly squeezed it a bit, before let it drying on parchment on a cardboard. The smell it's just absolutely crazy. I can smell strong citrus notes in the 120µm but the 90µm and 73µm explodes with crazy-sweet note. While the 25µm (did not use the 43µm) where I did collect most of the hash, smell like good and sweet hash, nothing crazy like the previous ones but a very buttery like consistency that makes me want to eat it like this...dont ask me why...even though I know you all probably felt this way too... Anyway, the paper sheet says it all about timing, washes and µm used for the extractions, but just in case I'll explain it down here. I have done 3 wash with different timing. 1º wash: 5 min only to get the most brittle trichome heads 2º wash: 10 min stardard 3º wash: 30 min to stock up a bit 😅 I could have done an extra wash for sure and get more out, but I was running out of time so...I will update with the dry weight, it was not the only wash I've done, that were just too many grades to weight up..so I chose to do it once all dry! See you really soon with on the nex run pals!

These have surprised me , not even a spot on them. Wall to wall now , maybe should have went with a total of 7 , but im not complaining . Few of these are already dripping in thc . The two largest ones were topped , I have done a defol on them , the smell is definitely there . I might need a filter in the next few weeks .

01/17/22 Everything's starting to grow again from the LST and defoliation at the end of this week flipping to flower. Tested run off last watering it was 2250ppm, did straight water this watering. *Note plant 4 has had hiccups from the start when it popped out of its seed it's tap root was curled I fixed it with tweezers by pulling the skin off and then placed it into the Coco, it shows the most stress out of the 4 plants and does not respond well to anything I do to it, even with 2250 ppm runoff it's still showing signs of a nitrogen dificiency PH in run off at 6.0 so not sure why it's so finicky . It did get the worse light burn out of the 4 , me being a novice at this I'm not sure if early stress ruins the rest of the grow but I'm starting to think it does from past grows and this one. 01/23/22 Just watered plants , the lockout has been fixed that one plants not eating as much as the other three and due to future harvests suggested mixing was way to high 1200-1300 ppm I had to mix by there measurements then weaken it with water till I reached 800ppm. Thank you everyone who post info for me.

Flowering week 9 report: -------------------------------- Okay guys i am on the final stretch! I have carefully examined pistils and noticed that all of the plants have more than 70% darkened and curled pistils. Also, i did some microscope check on the trichomes are they are all milk and cloudy. This week i will administer nutrients for the last time, then i will do 5-7 days flush with plain ph-ed water. That being said, i guess i will be harvesting these beauties in no more than 10 days from now on. During the day the HPS and the strong ventilation are drying the air good enough, and during the night i turn on dehumidifier, so the RH stays low 24/7.

All the plants seem to be developing well going into the later stage of flower. Some signs of possible deficiencies and nutrient burn on a few leafs but not too many. The smell again is increasing more and more to a sweet one. More defoliation and the use of sticks for more coverage. Light still set at 90% ✌️☘️🌱

Smooth sailing, not even into 2 weeks of flower and already throwing frost on the lowers and tops. Planning on moving the ladies, and staking some of the stalks to just get her to spread out a bit more when moved into the 3x3x6.5.

Gorilla Grow CFM kit YES! Fox Farms Nutrients....plants seem to like it so.... Mars Hydro 2x4 tent ... nope, there seems too be 2 types of grow tents, cheap and expensive. ill buy a Gorilla Grow Tent (expensive) for my next grow but for now ALL TENTS LEAK LIGHT, so just grab a tent that is sturdy, has vents in place for your grow space and is safe for you and the plants.

UPDATE - Saturday 13th It’s been ok. The reason I have stopped filling out the amount of water I’m giving them is because they don’t get watered daily. I water them once every three or four days depending on other things going on. With soil having a how much water per 24h is pointless because the whole point of soil is to dry out slowly and if you want a big plant you end up in a HUGE pot which takes like a week or more to dry out! The amount I water is the amount of water in the bottom of the reservoir + 1/3 more.

07/12 Ding Ding! Starting week 4 by watering 1.5L after 7 Days. The 1 Liter from week 3 really did a number on them. Theyre still growing fine! The Afghan Kush got stripped naked and bent over. The Blueberry is a tad behind, im just gonna let her ride a bit, see where we go from here. LST got adjusted for both of them. Light is also up to 20/4 with roughly same DLI Watered with 1,5L, 2 ml/L rootjuice, letting it fade out, probably giving one more time next watering then stopping. Activera and grow stayed the same at 2 ml/L, microbes again at 0.4g/l. Starterleaves removed from both plants. More pics to come the following days! 13/12 After the week: Didnt get around to edit, also due to the fact that my raspberry pi was acting up which took me a good 12 solid hours to fix (i say fix, what ended up happening was i wiped the SD card and set everything up again lol) Blueberry is growing nice and bushy, but i left her mostly alone. Afghan Kush is doing fine as well, though she skinny. Both are growing steadily but compared to my last run, they slow. Im still happy so far! Removed some inward facing stems on both plants. Also, both are confirmed to be female. Added timelapse, and see you all next week when we probably head into flower!

Week Harvest My journey of Runtz Automatic and her entrance in the Eternity Grow Cup 2025 began on January 7 when she popped her head above the soil. Runtz was an easy carefree plant to grow with no incidents of pests or disease. A few defoliations were all that was necessary to keep her in check. I kept her under a light schedule of 18/6 to maximize her light exposure. After topping her she grew only 24 inches tall. This small plant structure is suitable for growers with limited space. She was harvested on March 20, day 74 from germination. As part of the flushing process, I topped the pot with ice, then watered with ph 6.5-6.7 water for 3 days. Then I put Runtz Auto in the dark for 2 days still in her pot. March 20, she got the chop, Wet weight 314g and is hanging dry in a darkened room. As she dries, candy, sweet, fruity smells escape the room. Temps are 71-72and 43-48% humidity. I am sure she is as tasty as she smells and will not disappoint in effects. My sincere thanks to Patricia @Zamnesia for her support and encouragement throughout this grow. Big thanks and sincere appreciation to Plagron and Zamnesia for hosting this fun and exciting contest. Everyone entering the contest started with the same strain in either a feminized auto or photoperiod seed. Zamnesia generously provided 5 seeds to everyone and Plagron provided the Green Sensation flowering additive. During this contest I enjoyed visiting many contestants’ diaries and seeing beautiful gardens. Many, like me, are limited in space or number of plants they can grow but all are displaying fine specimens. Some Runtz phenotypes are very sativa dominant, with long thin leaf fingers, while others lean more indica. What will be most interesting will be the smoke reports on effects. My theory is that the more sativa leaning in structure, the more active, energetic and euphoric that plant will be and the indica leaning specimens will be more relaxing and uplifting. Your likes and comments are appreciated. Thanks for stopping by. Growers love 💚🌿 💫Natrona💫

Well, things are not going really good.. first time grower problems! #3 has nitrogen toxicity - i think that because the soil is very rich and i gave her even more nutes. Only water for now.. #1 and #2 are the ones that look better 🙏 And the Big Bud is bad, really bad.. when she started looking lime green and pale (looked nitrogen defeciency) so i raised the nutes, but few days later when i tested the run off ph it was too much low (orange color, in those cheap ph test kit) i dont have a ph pen yet, so i think it was nutrient lockout. I did a flush until the run off was close to yellow on the test (near 6.0) and now im waiting to see if it gets better.. I waited to long to giver the flush, and some bottom leaves died, at this stage i think i will have nothing to harvest from this plant 😥 23/06/2021 Now plants #1 #2 are also showing signs of some deficiency, run off was very low again so i flush them and increased the nutes..
