I did some defoliation🌿

Hello Diary. New diary, in the fifth farm I have three new residents, one Fat Banana and two Haze Berry. Both sides are from the Royal Queen Seeds. And this diary is dedicated only to Fat Banana. I would like to thank the team from the Royal Queen Seeds who have recognized my efforts in keeping a diary and greatly support me in what I love. I always try to make a balance between sativa and indica, since I do creative work, I am a big fan of sativa, although in the evening, when my obligations are over, I like to relax with indica. So this time I planted two Haze Berry Auto that are predominantly sativa and one Fat Banana which is more indica. WHY FAT BANANA? Fat Banana Automatic stinks of tropical fruits and produces large, chubby flowers. The strain is the autoflowering version of Fat Banana, an aromatic classic. The original made her mark on the cannabis world with her insane scent, massive THC level, and rewarding yield. Fat Banana Automatic inherited indica-dominant genetics from the original strain. Much like her predecessor, she provokes a body-slamming high par excellence. Her effects take hold immediately, plunging users into a euphoric state of relaxation. Fat Banana Automatic’s potency also gives her medicinal viability. Her calming nature is effective at reducing stress, and the physical aspect of her high may help to relieve aches and pains. The strain is ideal for evening smoke sessions. Users might feel too relaxed to function properly during the daytime. Cook some food, put on a good film, and get ready for a few hours of couch-lock. LET'S START FIRST WITH THE FARM SET-UP: Box - Secret Jardin DS120W 120x60x178 Lights - MIGRO 200+ Ventilation - Blauberg Turbo - E 100 Filter - Primaklima filter PK 100/125 Fan - Oscillating Koala Fan x2 Humidifier - Beurer LB 45 Soil - BIOBIZZ Light - Mix Pot - 11L AirPot Seed - Royal Queen Seed Nutrition - BioBizz and RQS Organic nutrition LET THE DIARY START OFFICIALLY: 14/09/2020 Planting. I prepared everything I needed for planting, cleaned the farm and changed the filter. I put Primaklima filter - PK 100/125. This time I decidet for AirPots, I also used them in the first two farms, BioBizz-Light Mix is ​​already standard on my farm and Easy Boost and Easy Roots Mycorrhiza Mix from RQS as organic nutrition. Since the first farm I use only organic fertilizers and for now I have used BioBizz and RQS organic nutrition. After I put the soil in the pot, I added 50g of Easy Boost Organic nutrition and mixed it well with the soil, after that I added 5g of Easy Roots Mycorrhiza Mix and also mixed everything once more. I prepared 7 liters of water in which I regulated p.H with Plagron’s Lemon Kick, and soaked the soil well before making a hole in which I put the seed. Otherwise, the water would have pushed the seed much deeper into the ground. After the planting is completed, they enter their new home. The temperature in the Box at that time was 26 degrees and the humidity was slightly below 60%. I set the lights 35cm from the pots as Migro recommends. 14 - 17/09/2020 I sprayed the surface of the soil with water a couple of times to keep the soil moisture at the surface. Also the humidity dropped so I put on a humidifier for a couple of days. 18/09/2020 Fat Banana sprouted, a day later from her first roommate Haze Berry. 19/09/2020 Watering. I watered with about a liter of water with regulated p.H. 23/09/2020 Watering. Regulated by p.H. at 6.4 and gave her approximately 1 liter of water. I think Grow Diaries made a great decision to put this germination week as an option, yet that germination process is just as important and it’s great to have room to write more and show how each of us does it. See you next week.

Chopped on day 119 (complete life cycle not flowering days) Unfortunately, early and mid flower was dealing with some brutal heat that I was unable to mitigate due to the tents location and external weather. I gave her some silica blast to help them, which did help, although the total yield weight was effected. i have a total weight of 139.6 grams (4.99 ounces), and probably around 60 grams of Larry buds which I will be using for edibles. The rating may change post curing. Terps: unfortunately only 1 pheno had the lemon scent, the other 2 smell like RANK body odor. The terps are definitely present and I have yet to sample a nug to test its potency. As of now, she gets a 7.2/10 solely because of the total weight and days it took to grow. Unfortunately the heat stress took its toll, and it's no knock on the strain or the breeder. It is what it is.

Amazing strain 💚💨💨🤝

empieza la 7ta semana de floracion. se sigue alimentando con top crop se le realizo poda de bajos para aprovechar al maximo la luz y engorden esos bellos cogollos tan apreciados.

We start week 3 of bloom!! Goofiez 2 amor compound genetics it’s the champions!!

Nur mit Wasser gegossen. Die Blüten bekommen langsam keine Orange Haare

I have now started mid bloomon the nute chart. She has started showing more Orange hairs and seems to be a very happy plant has been easily drinking a gal a day

I had fun with this barneys gorilla zkittlez, although it seems like it was ready around 7 weeks, its as if the plant has been in the early stages of self seeding when I've harvested on day 54~ of flower.. Can't think any other reason why this would've happened Anyway overall the bud is 95% amazing, just a slight sadness at the miniscule seeds forming close to the stems in the centre of some buds that takes away from the taste a little

3/11 Week 11 a day early due to visitors day 28 of Flower Her buds building and coning as any proud female would like. No signs of any deficiencies and the tips are ok so leaving all nuets as is. Halfway to projected harvest date according to Fast Buds, we believe them. Having some humidity issues due to our funky weather. Humidity running higher than is safe on lights out , 60-70%, so installed one small dehumidifier but getting a larger one today to add to it. That is pretty much it, hope for better pics later! Good growing out there! 3/12 Vid and Pics of her We fouled up and miscalculated days in flower today should be 29 as she obviously into flower on 2/12. Hubby just looked at the calendar wrong 😏 Fix what I can sorry folks thought it looked further along than that. pics

Start rinsing day 71 💧🚿 Light 35 cm day 72 💡 Trichomes pics last day for my girl 🍊🤩😭

drying conditions are 18C° and 55% RH

Cut off some of the yellow leaves all by all plant is growing steadily

Added the first screen into the tent. Decided to kick Big Mumma out because she just wasn't growing any taller and the other plants were really over growing her. For the new setup I used kitty litter trays and mesh to sit the plants on - each plant gets its own tray so I can track runoff EC individually and I cut little flaps in the mesh so I can wet vac the runoff. With this setup I shouldn't need to move the plants out of the tent until harvest. For the scrog I just tied some builders rope around the poles of the tent and tied the trellis netting off with training wire. I've been manipulating the growth just to try and fill out the whole screen, I also gave them a good haircut because I plan on flipping them soon, don't want them to outgrow the tent.

Start of week 5. It looks good to me, healthy but I thought it would stretch a little more. At the beginning of this adventure I had problems with fungus gnats, which I thought had already been resolved but it isn't, there aren't many of them and they aren't harming the plant, at least for now.

5/28 It poured yesterday so i dodnt bring the girls outside. Seedlings are transplanted into gallon pots. Once the fill that they'll go in final homes. I brought the plants out on this overcast day to harden them off. They're under the cover of the barn though placed by the open door. I've been putting in some work. Once this rain stops I have a couple things to do on the cage then I'll put the bags in the spots I have mapped out and mix my soil and fill the bags. The next day I typically transplant and add the first layer of supports. I have more pictures but not enough time to download them. 5/29 wow this site sucks. I have already done and saved this shit but its not here. Good thing I copy and pasted from grow with Jane. Only thing that sucks is I can't upload videos. It's not working here anyway so.... Watered and used about 3 gaterade bottles total. I may have messed up and watered the event horizon to much. They seem to be getting rootbound. Plants are doing well though with the transition. They are still hardening off. Tomorrow I plan to position and fill the bags with soil and if able I'll transplant them in the next few days. I want to make sure they're hardened off. Low tonight is 49 but it's 50s after that so I should be good. I'm hoping this video will load. Very stressful to do this shit over and over. 5/30 Plants have spent all day in tje Cafe and are coming in for the night. I finished mixing soil and filling the grow bags. They are ready for transplant. Weather is looking good so if plants respond well to this mild weather they will be transplanted with first set of supports added either tomm or the next day. Depends on plants response today (so far they're doing great) on whether I transplant tomorrow or the day after. I am sore as hell. Pictures are having trouble uploading and I'm not even gonna try to upload the video I took. 5/31 Plants have been taking a few days of full sun and they're doing fine. I'm planning on transplanting this afternoon. I had to water today. I weighed the pots and some were in tje 1200's grams which is dry. I'll update as I work. I have some errands to run then I'm putting the girls in their final homes. EDIT: WIND WAS RIDICULOUS! I TRANSPLANTED 3 OF THE HEALTJY GMO'S. WHEN I GOT BACK PLANTS WERE RIGHT SIDEWAYS FROM THE WIND. I WENT WITH INTUITION AND TRANSPLANTED 3 GMO'S. OTHER BAGS ARE READY. THE REST OF THE PLANTS WILL GO OUT TOMORROW MORNING. THE SMALL SUPPORTS I HAD DIDNT DO SHIT. I HAD TO ADD TOMATO CAGES AND TOE THE STALK TO THE TOMATO CAGE. SUCKS I COULDNT GET THEM ALL IN BUT BETTER SAFE THAN SORRY. TRANSPLANTS WENT REAL SMOOTH. KNOCK ON WOOD. I TJ8NK THE OTHERS WILL TOO. THEY'RE READY FOR A NEW 6/1 Finished transplanting everything. Easiest transplant I've had so far. 4 gmo 1 toasted toffy 1 sherb pie and 2 event horizon. Everything is in 20 gal smart pots. One gmo is in a 30 gal smart pot. The medium is 1/3 of each roots organic 707, fox farm happy frog and fox farm ocean forest. Used mykos when transplanting. Wind gusts were coming from everywhere direction so I couldn't put a tarp up to block it. I bought "grow cages" which are kind of like tomato cages. The wind is so strong it blows the plants right against the cage. Oh well. I hope it works out. I'll check on them a little later and see how they're doing. 6/2 It was 45 degrees this morning. Nice out now. Plants are doing good. A couple gmos are drooping but it was cold. One gmo looked as good as ever! Sherb pie and toasted toffy are totally unaffected. In this new area plants get a lot of direct sun. Slight tacking on the gmos in the front. The event horizons really needed that transplant. Grow cages seem to be working out well. 6/3 I Watered the garden this morning as its been 75-80 out. I only used a gallon of water for the 8 clones. I'm not sure if I watered enough when I transplanted or not. Some plants have some burns from the intense direct sunlight. Plants could've used a bit more hardening but they'll be fine. A few of them seem great and have no real signs of stress dispute 25mph wind gusts and 15 mph constant wind and this hot sun. I should go check on my plants again this evening but I figure they'll be alright until morning. I've had an incredibly busy day and they were fine at noontime. I'm going to consult my other diaries and see what I did watering volume wise. I've for some videos but they take FOREVER to upload. EDIT: Looked at last year's diary and it was rainy as fuck and I took way more time hardening the plants. I've had more going on in life which has effected that. Went over at 3pm and gave the plants 3 more gallons of water. Bags were light and soil was dry af. Granted I added soil after it settled but still. I watered one gallon this morning so I figured 3 more gallons would make it a half gallon a plant. Planning to increase to a gallon each if they do OK. Its supposed to thunder storm tomorrow so hipfully we will get some rain. I removed one leaf that was bleached but there are a few others. The weather is beautiful but we've gotten zero rain. In hindsight perhaps I should've given the plants an extra gallon at least.

* ********* Week 10 - June 13 to 19, 2020 - Days 64 to 70 from germination *********** * Adding in the pictures for now......... GSC has had a good week but also a slow week like the other girls growing right now. Her buds are plentiful and the hairs are long and white........she just isn’t filling in as she should.......and I suspect wants to........damn pH issues are persisting with her as well. She was transplanted into plastic pots but her runoff numbers are still over 7 while max going in was roughly 6.0.🤬🤬 This is true for both the GSC girls. They received a 25L flush of 3.7pH water this week and that bearly pulled down the pH to 6.7??? GSC2 is paying a price and it sucks but there are always trade offs in life😃 She wants to be in 82 degrees and a 65 percent humidity but she is in with girls wanting 70’s and 50’s😢😢😢 Her leaves have become very dark green and brown spotting with further lockout issues. Her buds have very white hairs and we will keep on the same path. GSC has filled up the tent and with the controllers and other light in place she has been in a perfect environment of 82 degrees and 63 percent humidity. With the little SP-150 and the HLG she has roughly 280 watts to keep her swelling and firming up. By the end of the week she is showing signs of improvement and buds are gaining weight again!!!! The frost coming out on GSC has been very very impressive so far!! The high pH will hurt the yield but she appears as though the buds will be sticky👍 Have to run these girls again in a proper environment......I really want to see her potential realized. The big buds are in there......just not as visible this run😃 Fast Buds girls have been really solid and very impressive!!!!! Little more detail............ June 13/20 - Day 64 - AM feeding - plain tap water adjusted to 5.1 pH....275ppm - 2L for GSC and 1L for GSC2 - PM feeding - Overdrive, Rezin, Vitathrive @ 2ml, Liquid Wt, Dual Fuel @ 1.5ml, CalMag @ 1.5ml = 1450ppm - GSC took 4.5L and GSC2 took 2.5L - runoff numbers in the pots before feed was 1700ppm and 7.1pH.......WTF? - brown spotting on leaves so increasing CalMag. - tent dialled in and hold temps and humidity now. June 14/20 - Day 65 - letting the pots dry out a little more so can give a flush to work on reducing pH, - both girls had a good night and swelled more. June 15/20 - Day 66 - big flush day......each girl given 26L flush of water pH to 5.0 - striving to get them down to the 6.1 range....... - they are still going to be fed but pH will be lowered. June 16/20 - Day 67 - mixed 7L of water with Overdrive, Terpinator @ 2ml, Vitathrive, Liquid Wt, Rezin, CalMag, Dual Fuel @ 1.5ml = 1400ppm and pH to 4.0 - GSC given 4.5L and GSC2 took 2.5L - Moved another light in this tent to increase wattage. - Added sugar and yeast CO2 to this tent now as well. - GSC2 looking really good today.....leaves up and happy. June 17/20 - Day 68 - mixed 8L water with Rhinoskin @ 1ml, Terpinator @ 2.5ml, Overdrive, CalMag @ 2ml, Vitathrive, Liquid Wt, Rezin, Dual Fuel @ 1.5ml = 1450ppm and 4.1pH - GSC took 5L and GSC2 took 3L.......there was fair bit of runoff, - GSC buds getting bigger and nice color in the leaves. - GSC2 looks taller and leaves up😀 June 18/20 - Day 69 - only GSC fed today,,.,..,.,5L with Terpinator @ 3ml, Overdrive, CalMag @ 2ml, Vitathrive, Liquid wt, Rezin, Dual Fuel @ 1.5ml = 1475ppm and pH to 4.5 - GSC only took 3L though so will keep the other 2L for tomorrow. - for the most part left them alone today. - letting GSC2 dry out for a day. June 19/20 - Day 70 - GSC fed the 2L of mixture left from yesterday. - GSC2 given 1L mixture of Rezin, Liquid Wt, Sensyzime @ 2ml = 385ppm and 4.5pH. - GSC is a BEAST! Stacking her buds and filling in her colas👍💪 - GSC2 is really happy today!

Wassuuuup my dudes 21 days into flowering and the results from the lst and defoliation are showing up. Multiple healthy tops and even the small nodes under the canopy are growing bigger, if all goes well I won’t have many popcorn nugs but I’ll have just big buds (let’s hope) I guess this also means they won’t stretch much more but I think some more height would be good for yield, anyway, can’t complain for the 1st grow and this is a process, there are no perfect grows! This week was also a week to add some more nutrients (the plagron) and it’s working very well for now! Let’s wait for the next few weeks, can’t wait to see the fatty buds 😂 Tell me what you think!
