Hello Growmies,
Red Banana Pudding by Anesia Seeds - Weekly Update
Entering the third week of observing the growth of our Red Banana Pudding plants, we're thrilled to share their progress and the careful adjustments made to optimize their growing environment.
Current Growth Stage: Seedling stage, initiated on 21.01.23
Overall Plant Appearance: The Red Banana Pudding plants continue to thrive, boasting a vibrant and uniform lush green appearance. Their overall health and vitality are evident, maintaining a robust and strong stature.
Growth and Stretch: Over the past week, our Red Banana Pudding plants have exhibited impressive growth, now reaching between 10 and 12 cm in height. This steady progress reflects their positive response to their current environment.
Nutrient Management: While we had initially planned to introduce a mild nutrient solution this week, we've decided to postpone it until the following week. This cautious approach aligns with our commitment to ensuring optimal conditions for the plants before initiating nutrient supplementation.
Watering Schedule: The plants were watered with RO water enriched with Orca and Rhizotonic, using a spray bottle. This gentle watering approach ensures they receive the necessary moisture without over-saturation.
Light Settings: The light intensity has been adjusted to approximately 25-30%, providing an estimated 180 PPFD. This careful adjustment aligns with the increasing growth demands during this phase.
Reflection and Planning: Reflecting on the past week, the robust growth of the Red Banana Pudding plants is a testament to their resilience and the effectiveness of our adjusted care routine. Looking ahead, we plan to introduce nutrients with Plagron Algae Grow next week, considering the pre-fertilized soil. Our focus remains on continuous monitoring, ensuring a nurturing environment for their development.
We're eagerly anticipating the upcoming stages of growth in the coming weeks. Stay tuned for further updates on the Red Banana Pudding journey.
Stay Lifted, Salokin

The germinated seeds were planted with the white tap-root pointing downwards into small pots (0,25 l) with light-mix from Goldlabel.nl. During week 1 almost all seeds came up and grew into small seedlings. Some late-comers like the MAC are just peaking out of the soil, while others are already small plants of 5-7 cm size. During this phase I only use one single S4W-LED lamp from SANlight in Austria. The fixture is appr. 50 cm above the babies and this is plenty of light for the small seedlings. They get a little bit of BIO NOVA roots with their water, because this enhances root growth a lot and helps the babies to stay healthy until they are tall enough to be repotted. Don't let the pics with the KANNABIA strain-markers in the small pots confuse you, the genetics are all different strains from different producers (see germination)! Three strains are from KANNABIA SEEDS (the Kritikal-K, the Pineapple Dream and the Skit Kandy Dream), but they came with a bunch of handy plastic strain markers, which I used for all my plants/pots.

Long time extractor, first time growing (both s/o and myself). Already starting the next grow.
This was one plant/pheno in a 4x4 sharing a 600w light @ 75% or less the entire time. Only tracking ONE PLANT this harvest but for reference - we pulled just over a lb dry weight total from all 4.
End dry weight - Buds: 104 grams - Sugar Trim - 35 grams
End flower rosin - 14.5 grams (1st press) - 1.2 grams (2nd press) [Press 96 grams] ~15% yield (not great but expected from autoflower)
Chopped a little earlier than desired (10/70/20 amber/cloudy/clear profile) due to a scare of a nanner. Being new growers, we recently learned we could have plucked the nanner off and let it flower another couple weeks. Dried branches at 65-70f/55-60rh for 7 days then stored in grove bags until pressed in 37u micron bag, ~180f, 2.5min.

Day 61 of flower 馃尲 today. On Day 59 I used koolbloom one last time along with a dose of recharge. Going forward I'll only use the Ripen this week and allow the flushing out to continue.
Rainbow cake is almost finished and looking great. The listed flower time is 68 days, so we're definitely getting close. The fan leaves are really green still so there's definitely some more flushing needed.
Pineapple express is flushing at a faster rate than the other 2 plants. I recon it's the size difference. Flower time is listed at 56 days but it's not showing finished yet. Buds still have a lot of white pistols and a lot of clear tri. Hopefully she'll be good in around 10 days.
London mint cake is doing well. Flower time is listed at 60 days. Tri is 50 percent cloudy and 10 days of flushing out will put her ready right on time.
Thanks for checking my diary everyone. See ya next week!

What up grow fam. Week 3 up on these girls. At the moment they're a little upset with me. I went away for a few days so I over watered hoping they'd be alive when I return. They're still alive but sure upset and showing it. I did a defoliation taking the bigger fan leafs off to allow some more light to the lower branches. Also I don't usually put them under full power of my light until about week 5 but I did to see how they'd do and though they're stacking super tight, I think I probably did more harm then good. I'll baby them and see if they'll bounce back. All in all Happy Growing

Hello once again and I hope y鈥檃ll had a good week!
Down in the purple tent this week was strange, it was the first time sense week 3 these lady鈥檚 didn鈥檛 have an extreme explosive growth and honestly I鈥檓 okay with that lol. The bud sites however have started to plump up as expected and I鈥檓 hoping they continue too at this rate.
Finally ran into a detrimental issue that kinda upset me but was glad I caught early. I started to notice some rust spots on a couple leafs of one plant witch prompted me to take a closer look, PH was spot on and runoff was coming out at 1200(a little higher than it should) so I turned the lights off and inspected with my CMH. Almost all the lower leafs were to dark green for my liking and the newest growth on a few were bright green. This all together led me to believe it was the beginning of nute lockout so I flushed em hard with a 600ppm wash then 400 a couple days later. This brought it down to the 650 mark witch they seem to have responded really well too go going to tone it down with the food a bit until they tell me otherwise.
Also this was the final week for my Big Bud so this week I鈥檒l be hitting up that overdrive.
All in all I鈥檓 loving these ladies it woulda been nicer if the plants were more similar not crazily different phenos but it鈥檚 to be expected with autos so happy growing everyone and lookin forward to touching base next week!!!!!!

7/19 I鈥檝e come upon the realize that I had been under watering to an extreme degree. I have since adjusted accordingly today and hope they look better tomorrow.
Did remove some leaves and then found out I really shouldn鈥檛 have, hopefully I didn鈥檛 stunt them.i believe they are now flowering and next watering I will be adding some tiger bloom at very low strength. the newts I鈥檝e given them have shown tip nute burn often and I have been very minimally watering so my conclusion is my soil was so full of nutes I could have waited until now most likely to start my first feedings. I鈥檝e read about this and w ocean forest this seems to be the trend. Still really happy about the progress. Peace

Very Happy plants, soaking up the rays.
When you place your face near the buds you get an amazing sweet fruity aroma, the leaves smell like skunk and cheese.
Each plant is getting 10 liters every 4 days. I water with 6.3ph tap water twice for every time I add nutrients.
I use Alaska fish fertilizer when its been a few times since a nutrient feed but the plants are showing no deficiency's.
They are Fed by a drip system which takes 16 hours to deliver the 10 liters to each plant, this works really well in the Fabric smart pots.
I use metal racks to keep the plants off the ground then place a drip tray underneath each plant. When using the drip system very little run off occurs.
I added a spider farmer sf-1000 to the room, it is full spectrum and ir, and is great for getting the corners of the room or the less dense areas of the canopy.

Fastest-developing plant I've seen to date.
She's a bit leggy, but for I've seen plants take a month or more to reach this height and leaf development.
Having a 12/12 schedule 600W sodium lamp is helping, and the increasing temperatures as we head into spring.
No sign of root reaching beyond the (large) rockwool cube, but that's normal. Sometimes it takes several months for them to properly get going in these cold climes.

July 9
Mixed 1 tsp of RAW Grow with 1.25 gallons of water and PH'd to low 6s. Fed about 1 gallon.
July 10
New nutrients seemed to take well. Leaves perked back up like usual.
July 14
Got some RAW Bloom out for delivery. I think that will help with the yellowing lower leaf tips. Will feed 1 tsp per gallon tonight and will mix in 3 teaspoons of epsom salt too.

So far so good, we are at the 5 veg week, the hulk berry is shooting up many pre-flowers.
The RO water has been great, using this clean water is much better and you see a strong difference, and you are able to dial the ppm/ec without the interference of random stuff plus the chloride and fluoride that comes with tap water in my region.
This version of the Hulkberry i have is a bit more on the sensible side of things, se feels already if you keep touching her, also better not to nuke this strain with nutrients from what i have seen so far, so I鈥檓 going easy on her.
The other two strains form Kannabia, one been the unstable version of Purpple Kush, got many aliens already out of some seeds, and ironically a Lucky dip, mystery strain is extreamely vigorous and nice to work with.
A side from that i have chosen two HLG QB324 V2 quantum board with a Meanwell 320H-54a driver to build a DIY light, with passive Heatsink and 90 degree optics to power the flower tent, so basically i will move this plants to the other tent in a week or two when i get this build. This is a huge step up for me since i was using a generic Chinese blurple led.
My setup changed a lot and i will try to keep things consistent, i may have some adaptation going on to drive all this new perpetual style grow.

I supper cropped the top 4" down toward lower level to promote auxins to redistribute, also starting 12-12 light cycle should be 8-9 weeks of flowering馃檹 if she more than doubles in stretch,then I will need to switch to LED lights to finish
