Conclusion and a plant that grows quite slender in bloom doubles if it does not treble its size, responds well to defoliation, it is usually harvested in 8-9 weeks but if it is left a week more mature to perfection. on a scale of 1/10 my vote for this variety is 8.

(12/09-12/15, days 42 to 48) Hope everyone enjoys the pictures. I will try to add a video and black back or cover pics by end of week every week. Week 5 Notes & Observations: Topped both plants and starved for 11 days. The idea being that I want the roots to search out new space and expose more root growth to the nutes in the soil to better help in the growth after the training rather than just the recovery. I made a decision on P2 and decided to keep both sides for a total of 8 colas on each plant since but topping day P2 was looking way better and showing nice re-growth. I recognize that growth will be stunted on the damaged side, but I want to see by how much in case I do it again in the future. Neither plant broke on this last training and bot seem in good health. I am however monitoring a possible calcium deficit and treating with CaliMagic. - inspected defoliated fan leaves and discovered Spider Mites - treated with Captain Jack's Deadbug concentrate mixed into 1 cup of purified water - sprayed tops and bottoms of leaves on all plants inside that tent. Will have to retreat again in 3 days, and possibly again after that. ***from label*** LAWNS AND ORNAMENTALS: Use Site Pests Controlled Comments outdoor ornamentals (herbaceous and woody plants) emerald ash borer gall midges leaf feeding beetles leafminers sawfly larvae spider mites1 thrips worms, including loopers, webworms, bagworms, gypsy moth, and tent caterpillars Uniformly spray foliage to point of runoff. Uniform coverage of upper and lower leaf surfaces is essential for effective insect control. Apply when spider mites are first observed prior to webbing and before mite populations have become severe. Reapply after 7 to 10 days (3 to 5 days in greenhouses and structures that can be altered to be closed or open) to contact newly hatched nymphs and repeat until infestation is managed. Uniform coverage of both upper and lower leaf surfaces is critical. VPD and PPFD: This week I will hold the humidity in the tent to about 70-75% and temps will be monitored for 70- 75F daytime and 66-71F overnight. Im adjusting my lights and look to control them at ~400ppfd max. Meaning slight increase over last week but mostly just growth increase. Feed & Monitor: ***All feeds with nutes use either a whole ratio or combination of "Veg Mix" and "Bloom Mix"concentrates DILUTED in water until a total ppm of add-in is reached using a (Total Dissolved Solids) TDS Meter measured in PPM (parts per million). The "Veg Mix" concentrate will eventually be added in smaller ratios and "Bloom Mix" concentrate will eventually replace the "Veg Mix" concentrate entirely. The ppm and ratios of each feed will be listed when I feed. Veg mix recipe is on week 2. Bloom Mix recipe is on week 5.*** Day 44 (last feed was day 34) Tested and Calibrated my ph pens. Starting weight from each pot was 18 lbs and 8 oz, both P1 and P2 weighed 11lbs 2oz before feed. Each plant got 1.5 gallon of purified water with 362ppm Veg Mix concentrate (recipe on week 2) and 106ppm Bloom Mix concentrate (recipe on week 5). The ph on this feed was balanced to 6.1ph to combat the original higher runoff ph from the previous runoff feed tests. After feed, both P1 and P2 weighed 19lbs 2oz after feed this time (P1 was 22lbs 3oz and P2 weighed 21lbs 14oz after last feed). I got about 8cups of runoff on both P1 and P2 this time (both plants gave up 5 cups of runoff last feed). Runoff for P1 ph was 6.3 with 906ppm (6.45 with 1170ppm last feed) and P2 was 6.4 with 814ppm 6.45 with 1230ppm last feed). Top soil tested at: P1 6.23,6.21,6.26,6.27 for an avg of 6.24 (6.327 avg after last feed) and P2 tested at 6.4,6.39,6.25,6.46 avg 6.37 (6.402avg after last feed) - next feed will be 6.3ph as Im liking where the ph is now and I dont see any issues from feed or training.

I'm still feeling like a lazy grower with the Minigrow One doing all the LST 😅. The growlights make sure the plant stays naturally short and bushy. There's not much work to do but make sure she's hydrated. I may have to defoliate one of these days but that's about it. No buds showing just yet, let's see if they develop in the coming days!

A lot of TLC this week and she has bounced back! 😁Really had to dial in and give her the best environment possible. Flowers started to pop up below the canopy so I’m guessing all the defoliation was successful and she is coming back stronger than ever. Will watch for fox tailing as buds form to see if she is reacting from severe light stress early flowering days. Notes from the week: 9/15: Cut burnt tops off her today. Trimmed a lot of the burnt leaves. 9/19: She has recovered nicely from the light stress/burn. Flower stage does not seem to be affected to much. I have noticed some purple calxys and upper leaves near some tops seem to be fading and showing some purple as well. 😈

Advertised 56 day flowering. Mad yellowing I think is root bound stress, over watering/under watering, magnesium deficiency... I have no idea. I top dressed with myco, azos, and a bunch of soil to give her some extra food for the last 3 weeks. I'm hoping it'll solve any issues. I'm going to put the airpot into a 7 gal cloth pot to try and relieve some root bound issues. I never intended for her to be this big in a 2 gallon... She was an auto after all that never flipped.

Big Bud Autoflower grew great till right at bulking in flowering. I misjudged the feed, and was light causing her ph to swing up and just happen to be right during bulking. So lost some bulk. I will revist her one day. She has a great smell, and layer of frost. Still gotva lot of bud that smells great and looks very potent. Will be back with results once she is dry, and processed. Thank you Viparspectra, and Amsterdam Marijuana Seeds. 🌱🤜🤛🌱 Thank you grow diaries community for the likes, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel. There is a harvest video on my YouTube channel. It won't let me upload it here. Happy growing everyone 🌱 🌱🌱

Blue Banana Cream by Mademen Genetics - Week 5 Update VPD aim 1-1.2kPa Continuing from the last update, this week has shown even more trichome development. Pheno #1: Bud structure remains airy, but trichomes are steadily increasing Pheno #2: Medium-density compact buds, showing traits reminiscent of the Banana lineage The grow room is starting to fill with a stronger aroma as the plants enter the bud-building phase. Exciting progress ahead—thank you for following along!

She’s still a one floor house between skyscrapers but probably she will become bigger one day 😛

Plants are growing nicely, I think I overwatered a bit on day 20 and on day 21 they were a bit down, but at the end of the day they were looking much better though,I just introduce some nutrients on day 20( 1ml/l top auto) and calmag like always,the ph of the water was around 6,4.LIGHTS are at 50% power right now

Drunken Bitch Slap has been growing great bbn under the Hortibloom Solux 350. I just changed her solution today. She is in the midst of bulking now. Super frosty and sticky buds. It looks like vg it is gonna be a excellent smoke. She probably has about 3 weeks left till harvest. Everything is going great. Thank you Hortibloom, and Aeque Genetics. 🤜🏻🤛🏻💪🏻❄️🌱 Thank you grow diaries community for the 👇likes👇, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel👇. ❄️🌱🍻 Happy Growing 🌱🌱🌱 https://youtube.com/channel/UCAhN7yRzWLpcaRHhMIQ7X4g

Not much to say right now, will update in about two weeks with the dry bud weight and the taste/smell/smoke profile. I'm hoping this strain is as tasty and potent as the smell, stickiness presents itself to be. Update June 19, 55 grams on the scale. Very impressed with the hardness and density of the buds. They are pretty sticky too! The smoke is okay, but not great tasting and gets harsh towards the end of the joint. For people that like to make extracts, rosin, etc, this strain might be right up your alley.

Week four is kicking off good!! Lst and defoliation are working great ready to start the stretch! One plant is showing signs of pre flower. So we will see 🤷‍♂️🏻 Upped the nutrients this week plants are drying out about every 36 hrs. I’m oh watering feeding and ph watering alternating right now and they seem to love it I’m going to start adding some fox farms soluables here shortly. I’ll update this week in a few peace! So an update it’s day 28 all are in pre flower and start of flower switched to the hps light still alternating feeding and watering about every two n half days. Started using open sesame on the last feeding will use it one more time and switch to beastie bloomz. Stay safe everyone!
