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 ๐Ÿ“ 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.

This entry covers days 15-23. Same as last week, there is a timelapse! I hope you check it out. (Timelapse to be added ASAP! The internet is too slow to upload it now! This past week I've upped the nutrients to about 410 ppm. This is a stronger nutrient solution than the one I used for my GSC at this age. I decided to up the nutrients so much because I noticed my leaves were a bit light in color, which I thought might be because it was lacking enough nutrients. Unfortunately the leaves are still this same light green at the end of this week, as well as some light splotches. Today, day 23, has seen some confusion. I found what I thought to be root rot, but turned out to be a nutrient buildup. I treated this using Jef79's suggestion of rinsing with water than matches the pH and temperature of my reservoir. I know the brown roots were from this nutrient build up because simply rinsing them helped a lot. After resolving this issue, I bound her down for some low stress training.

4/6/2024 - Vegetation Week 8 Day 1- Last week in VEG, They are all looking amazing and no worry about stretch when I flip Next Saturday they are indica and I have more than 50% of distance from the top of the plant to the lights with a little more I can raise the lights if necessary. So going to really just enjoy this last week of VEG, and get my Cloning equipment ready. I will be taking 2 cuts for each this is also a PHENO hunt for HWG and he not only has the prize for the winner but he also has an additional bounty on a cut of the winner. I did have to take some from around the edges to keep them from touching. 4/7/2024 - Vegetation Week 8 Day 2- Didn't do anything today but watch them grow.. They will be getting a really good flip trim and clean up for clone material on Friday/ Saturday. 4/8/2024 - Vegetation Week 8 Day 3- Couldn't even get a picture of the #1 at first too much Foliage throughout.. So I had to clean that up and make sure they all still have some separation before flip. 4/9/2024 - Vegetation Week 8 Day 4- Huston we almost had an issue.. I looked at my Res and she was in desperate need of 10 gallons to get her through until next water change on Saturday. So I added 10 gallons and the Nutes. I added 10 Gallons of Water I added the following Nutes: CalMag= 1.00Mil/Gal= 10Mil FloraMicro = 5.4Mil/Gal= 54Mil FloraGro= 4.2Mil/Gal= 42Mil FLoraBloom= 4.6Mil/Gal= 46Mil 4/10/2024 - Vegetation Week 8 Day 5- Had to giver them a huge clean up today I couldn't even see the numbers in the first pic. I am also worried that #1 and #3 really, really are getting huge over the last few days.. starting to think I should have flipped them this past Saturday.. The interesting things is even though this is an Indica Strain, I might have to super crop just to keep them off the lights. The joys and sorrows of RDWC and timing. 4/11/2024 - Vegetation Week 8 Day 6- Even though Flipping in Two days almost wish I would have gone at Week 7. I am really worried about #3, #1 and #2 are huge and when I put them in flower they are going to stretch out 4/12/2024 - Vegetation Week 8 Day 7- Day of Work.. Lots of Work.. I gave all three a Cloning/Flower cleaning.. all three got cleaned up top Inside and bottom, I took 2 cuts of each to see which one come out on top then I will kill off the other cuts once I have a winner in flower. I clean up this thoroughly before I flip because it reduces the work load on the next major clean up I do on Week 4 of Flower.and they are so much taller that it is going to be a pain in the ass to maintain canopy space for #3, we will see how it goes and adjust as necessary..

Day 49 and moving along. Wanting to run these 21 more days max, the Jedi cookies I think I can take to that point but one of the CBD crack might be done sooner. Other than that things are chill, wanting to see some bud growth this week.

FERMAKOR BARREL MIX โ€“ BASE IN USE (Testing on the Fantasy Feast girl we pulled out of another diary https://growdiaries.com/diaries/274722-grow-journal-by-yan402 ) (FERMAKOR BASE SYSTEM KOH VERSION diary https://growdiaries.com/diaries/278391-grow-journal-by-yan402) (Urea & Micros on the way โ€” first week running without them) ๐Ÿถ๐Ÿ’ง๐Ÿถ๐Ÿ’ง๐Ÿถ๐Ÿ’ง๐Ÿถ๐Ÿ’ง๐Ÿถ ๐Ÿ’ง 30 L Barrel โ€“ Current Working Mix ๐Ÿถ๐Ÿ’ง๐Ÿถ๐Ÿ’ง๐Ÿถ๐Ÿ’ง๐Ÿถ๐Ÿ’ง๐Ÿถ Step 1 โ€“ Calcium Nitrate (Part A) 7 L warm water (~35โ€“40 ยฐC) โ†’ added 45 g Calcinit, stirred until fully clear.

Oct 1 - plant was flushed tonight with 25 gallons of water, more of a precaution, and it was a first, mid-grow flush Oct 4th - top-dressed soil with Kelp Meal, scratched it in; 1/tsp per Gallon of soil - foliar spray (mist) every 3rd day for now. In flower, foliar applications become weekly events, until the 3rd week of flower, then it's stops - next meal planned for is 7.6L / 2 gallons. That is the planned max for the grow Oct 5th - air flow between the Pots was Non-existentโ€ฆ so I gave them a little room to assist with the drying times. 6th - plant was fed 7L 7th - last day of the week.

Buds got really dense this week. The smell is definitely more intense. I also defoiled for any tops that were getting covered. Other than that just waiting on them to ripen some more so I can flush next week.

This was my first attempt at growing autos she triggered a little to early being the reason she is so squatty but I'm sure she's still going to be just as good as a plant twice her size I most definitely learned a lot about the auto flower that I didn't know before so I made adjustments on my second auto flower that I'm growing she is about 40 inches in height and filling out nicely i'm going to let the plant pictured go another week or so to make sure she's completely done I will post pictures and video of the harvest

It was a busy week full of events. I got them a 600 watts HPS light and microbes to help them grow faster. I finally started the trellis netting to even the canopy and get more from the lights and I also spray the plants again for bugs. I found out that I've been using powder nutrients on my reservoir and that's probably why I've been getting floods two or tree times a week and now the valve is open only when I'm there, because I'm sick of cleaning and I took that little sick plant out. My cats have her now.

Welcome to the garden. We are three weeks deep into the vegetative stage, and the ritual is officially underway. I prefer running from seed there is something alchemical about watching them crack open and rise from the soil and these girls have taken to their new reality with aggressive vigor. The lineup for this run is a study in contrasts: - NineWeeksHarvest - GrapePak: Expecting sweet, heavy resin production here. - Solfire Gardens - Barf Breath: The name says it all. Iโ€™m hunting for that loud, offensive funk that Solfire is known for. Current Status: Things are dialed in. The stems are thickening up, and fan leaves are praying to the light. No deficiencies, no stress. Just pure, unadulterated growth. Iโ€™ll be looking to start some light training soon to break their apical dominance and spread this canopy out before we flip. Stay tuned as we push these genetics to their breaking point. PS: I don't know which Plant is which. We'll find out during flower :)
