What a great strain...definitely surprised me positively. Thank you Exotic Seeds for the opportunity to work with you trying this awsome plant. It has a steady growth, kinda short and bushy like a lot of plants with strong indica traits Very dense buds, big ones, fat and resinous. With a LOT of productions all-over the plant. So much thricome production it sparkles white. Cutes it yesterday (17/12/2023) altough on my opinion it could have 1 more week. Altough because of the huge problem I had to do it. This grow tent (specially the other plant growing side by side) had a mold issue, bud rot spreading fast. I must have lost about 5 65 grams of wet flower total on the Fat Banana. When I cuted it 🍓 Strawberry Cola weighted 829 grams it has a lot of defoliation done alredy but I'll trim it 100% when dry. This is it, thank you all of you growmies for watching this grow. See u guys on the next one.

Stopped weaving to leave them about 6-8 inches above the canopy. Will be defoliating at some point next week to improve light penetration.

Welcome to week two. Day 8 05/10 So far the two plants in Down to Earth seem to be doing better. Hopefully this week goes better. Day 10 05/12 all for plants growing one of them very weak but will let it go till it gives on its own. Feeding all four plants a cup a day of water for two and the other two get FoopCanna everyday following schedule. Other than that Down To Earth seems to be kicking butt. Day 14 05/16 so we come to the end of the week and again Down To Earth seems to be kicking ass. Both plants in DTE are twice as tall and busier.

She grew 4cm this week in height. She's doing her thing. Next few weeks should show some good growth.

Por fin se empieza a ver algo de engorde, los cogollos están compactando bien y de resina, a pesar de las altas temperaturas, van bien servidas. Principio de la 5ª semana de flora.

Hey now, this week went pretty good. She grew a couple more inches but she is now just starting to stack some flowers. I did add a small dehumidifier to the tent and that is keeping the humidity around 50% in the tent so I am pretty good with that. I also added another CO2 bag from Arbico organics, they make them up fresh so your not buying a solid block that has already been sitting on a shelf somewhere for a month or two. I am thinking she will be ready in around 5 weeks or so, and I can't wait. I hope everyone had a great weekend, thanks for stopping by, stay safe and Blaze On!

16.4.25: I have retied the fabric ties again, as they're growing like crazy. Trying to open up the plant, to grow out as well as up. This will also create new colas. At this stage, I'm trying not to over fertilise like I did with the last grow. Focusing on Cal-Mag amino acids and Mega Crop Part A. The medium is my custom super soil, which is already fertilised with Ecothrive dry amendments. So I could just add water. However, as we've already run into deficiency, that would be careless. I find it easy to keep an eye on the plants and carefully inspect them daily to act quickly when issues arise. Learning how to determine the issue is what I'm still learning, which is the hard part 😅 It's all fun though, and I'm really enjoying this grow with all the toppings and FIMs. So far so good! 21.4.25: Hope everyone had a great 420! Northern lights is absolutely beautiful, great structure. I'm determining when to relax the LST as we are now in the beginning of week 3 flower. I do have height. However, I'd like to keep it reasonable. You never know when they will stop growing. I'm not really adjusting any ties since the last time, but I have added an LST clips as one of the middle tops was much talker than the others. I am trying very hard to exercise some much necessary self restraint here! 😅 it is becoming increasingly difficult! I have also noticed that there are signs of Nitrogen excess. Maybe 2 leaves have very thin overlapping blades. Instead of Mega Crop Part A and Cal-Mag amino acids, I will use Bud explosion PK booster with the Cal-Mag. This will make the N5 the only Nitrogen being given. It still may be too much, but will monitor closely to see the effect this change will make, if any. Balancing the nutrients is very important for me to learn, and it's going to be an ongoing process. I watered today with 3 litres of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.4 with the following nutrients: ♡ 1/2 Tsp of Bud Explosion PK booster by Greenleaf nutrients ♡ 5ml Cal-Mag amino acids by Xpert Nutrients 23.4.25: Plant seemed to be drinking heavily, so I watered again with 3 litres of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.3 with;- ♡ 2.5ml Cal-Mag amino acids by Xpert Nutrients, and ♡ Ecothrive Biosys 1/8 tsp. I removed the plant ties and retied the plant after watering. Less ties are necessary as the plant has moulded and stayed in that structure. 25.4.25: Northern Lights was much overdue for a retie of the fabric ties. After this session of LST, the plant is absolutely huge. I really could easily fill the tent with just her. The fact that this plant could fill out a 4ft² space absolutely proves that autoflowering strains can outdo photoperiods. This particular strain, as well as my RQS Fat bananas, have been an absolute dream to grow. They take training like they're craving it. 😍 Thanks for checking out my diary and hanging out 😃💚✌️🍃😊

Everything going strong. Baby Yoda spreading his ears. One leaf started to curl a bit. Maybe too much water? Starting nutes tomorrow. The more leaves. Wanted to start nutes but soil is too moist. Will hold off for another day. Just misting the surface. Started with Fox Farm at 1/3 dosage as my soil had organic nutes in it already. Starting slowly. Saw a gnat running around. Stopped water and misting. Put some packing tape in. Should be ok. 😁 Temperature is creeping up as I add more light. Maybe increase distance soon. Increased the light distance. Leaves were looking a little baked. Maybe too hot as well.

WEEK 5 START OF DAY 28 FROM SEED THE NUTRIENTS LISTED ARE NOT WHAT I USE. I ONLY LISTED THEM TO GET NOTICED IN SUB CATEGORIES. CORRECT NUTRIENTS LISTED 👇 Transplanted to final 5 gallon pots. Ran into a problem toward the end. I ran out of coco with 2 pots to go. So I will probably do another transplant after going to the store today and getting another bag of coco. Fed at half strength—— Front Row AG Part A 3.5g per gallon Front Row AG Part B 2g per gallon Front Row AG Phoszyme .4g per gallon Front Row AG Triologic 1ml per gallon Front Row AG Si .5ml per gallon Everything went well but my room runs on an auto feed system and if the promix ho will not drain like the pure coco bags so I’m gonna replace tonight. Thanks for stopping by

This week went a lot better than last, although still not optimal. After last week's transplant they all did well, as you can see in the time lapse. They do all have one or more deformed leaves and a slight calcium deficiency but look otherwise healthy. Increased base water (RO+calmag) EC from 0.3 to 0.4, feeding 0.7EC in total. At the end of the week, the root systems looked very well developed and I transplanted them into their final 5L pots. Decent so far.

added a layer of coco soil (1l) mixed with 80g BioBloom at the beginning of this week now every other day following combination: - 2ml CalMag + 5ml Bio Heaven + 200 ml water - 4ml Mono Trace + 5ml Bio Heaven + 200 ml water @PH 6 therefore removed 800ml of water that week applied nemathodes and a little bit of leaf coat, because flies take over

Switched them to flower about a week ago and this platinum gorilla seems to be the slowest to show signs of transitioning. She isn't putting on any stretch like all the other plants. I'm hoping to see her start stretching those legs so she has some room to put on some fat buds. Her leaves are already starting to put on some little sugary frost. Looks like @wildeweed might have boxed up a fat diamond when he sent this little gem to me. Looking forward to seeing how she develops over the next couple weeks. I did a complete water change today and started them on a light dose of maxibloom. That will be slowly increased as the maxigro is lowered over the next couple weeks.
