Harvest day, you’d think I’d be excited and I was until last night. I’ve had to have my oldest Cat put down due to health reason 😿 I almost can’t be bothered to do this update, but here I am 🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️ it’s only one more entry. I harvested this plant at day 58 of flower, it feels like she matured and finished quite fast, always a good trait. Her buds are rock solid to the touch and almost wet with trichomes, if that makes sense?! I took some pictures just prior to harvesting her. She’s now hanging on a peg hanger in my drying tent, cut into individual branches. She took barely any time all all to trim, she’s got a high bud to leaf ratio and everything I cut off will be dried, frozen and sifted to make Rosin. No waste at all. I aim to dry between 10-14 days, I generally keep the RH around 55% and the temp fluctuates around 18*C. She’s been an easy plant to grow and I’d recommend these genetics, In House have really outdone themselves with this one! I don’t usually do this, but I’m dedicating this grow to my late Cat Poochim. (I’ve added some pictures of him) I got him when he was a little kitten and I was just a teenager, 20 years later and I’ve had to say goodbye to a very old friend 🖤

This week I noticed a good and healthy growth. I decided to Top one of the plants and on another one aI applied the “main line”. On the third plant from the next week I will try an “LST”. The temperature on the grow box is under control and umidity is good. The only problem we found was on the “Tangie n.2” that is developing quite slowly and showed up some yellow leafs. 20/03 we apply LTS on tangie 3 and 4.

welcome back to another captivating chapter in the awe-inspiring journey of my magnificent Purple Lemonade FF! Today, we embark upon Week 8 from seed and Week 1 in the enchanting realm of flower. Prepare yourselves for a tale of rapid growth, daring defoliation, and the delightful emergence of pre-flowering. Oh, how our purple beauty has flourished! Her growth knows no bounds, and her branches have reached for the heavens with an unyielding determination. She stands tall and proud, commanding attention in the grow space like a true botanical titan. The addition of a second scrog layer was a decision made with both admiration and necessity. Our mighty lady yearned for more support and structure, and we happily obliged. Now, her branches intertwine with the nets, creating a symphony of greenery, each bud site vying for its chance to bask in the glory of the grow lights. But what of the bold defoliation, you may ask? Ah, my dear companions, the time had come to unveil the hidden potential within our plant. We approached the task with care and precision, removing select fan leaves that blocked the light and hindered airflow. It was a daring move, indeed, but one that would unlock the true potential of our Purple Lemonade FF. By providing better light penetration and increased air circulation, we set the stage for her to shine even brighter. As the days passed, the effects of our defoliation masterpiece became evident. Our plant reveled in the newfound freedom, as if breathing a sigh of relief. Her leaves stretched out, reaching for every photon that the grow lights graciously bestowed upon her. And lo and behold, by the end of the week, a sight to behold greeted our eager eyes—pre-flowering had commenced! Delicate calyxes emerged, signaling the beginning of the blooming phase, a prelude to the imminent explosion of colors and aromas that await us. In the midst of this botanical marvel, let us not forget the tireless defenders of our garden—the nematodes, Spical Ulti Mite, and Swirskii. These valiant warriors continued their unseen battles, protecting our precious Purple Lemonade FF from the clutches of potential pests. Their vigilance remains unmatched, ensuring the health and vitality of our plant as she embarks on this transformative journey. Fellow cultivators, let us revel in the extraordinary growth and the power of defoliation. Together, we have witnessed our plant's rapid progress and rewarded her with newfound freedom and space to thrive. As the stage is set for the grand performance of flower, let us anticipate the symphony of colors, scents, and resinous delights that lie ahead. Join me next time as we delve deeper into the enchanting world of our Purple Lemonade FF in flower, where we shall uncover more tales of resilience, beauty, and the endless wonders of nature.

https://lumatek-lighting.com/ <3 <3 <3 Growers love to you all <3 <3 <3 " Arising from a cross between purple and citrus Cali genetics, Purple Lemonade FF (Fastflowering) offers a complex high made up of perfectly balanced cerebral and body effects that are ideal for daytime use. Expect an extremely enjoyable high that boosts your mood while deeply relaxing your whole body and getting rid of muscle pain. This meticulous cross produces up to 550 g/m2 of some of the most beautiful purple buds, with pinkish and reddish hues that will catch everyone’s attention. The beautiful purple buds are ready for harvest in 7-8 weeks and come hand-in-hand with unbelievably sugary citrus terps that are just as refreshing as a cold lemonade on a hot Summer day. It’s the ideal variety for the sweet-tooth stoner seeking strains that deliver both in quality and quantity of resin. Bud Description Purple Lemonade FF grows chunky, spade-shaped buds that boast a whole range of pinkish-purple hues with rich, dark orange pistils shooting out of every direction. This variety stands out for the, oftentimes, lilac trichomes that give them a gorgeous pink tint and make for outstanding purple concentrates. The buds give off a delicious tart lemon aroma that reveals a sweeter, more fruity scent as you break the buds open. Definitely a must for flavor chasers and those looking for pungent terpene profiles. Smoke Reports Purple Lemonade FF offers an effect that’s just as unique as the flavor. Expect a potent uplifting high that gives you that energy boost you need to get things done while 100% happy and stress-free. The effect gradually transforms into a wave that works its way along the limbs and through the muscles, deeply relaxing your body and putting you in the right mindset to go through a busy day with a huge smile on your face. This is an excellent all-day smoke as it not only increases energy but can also help combat chronic pain, migraine and stress. Plant Appearance This feminized photoperiod variety develops a thick and strong structure, growing a medium-sized main cola with multiple shorter side branches, typical of hybrid strains. Purple Lemonade FF develops fairly short internodal spacing with gorgeous purple buds growing stacked on top of each other, making it the perfect choice for growers of all levels looking to get lots and lots of top-shelf purple weed, as this variety can produce up to 550 g/m2 in a 7-8 week flower cycle. Grow Tips This is a super fast feminized photoperiod version that takes approximately 7-8 weeks to flower with a 5-week vegetation cycle,, this means you can have faster harvests by shortening the veg cycle or have a longer veg cycle for bigger yields. Purple Lemonade FF (Fastflowering) makes for a great candidate for growers of all levels as it’s a vigorous strain that will thrive with basic maintenance both indoors and outdoors. This is a resin powerhouse so make sure to have your trim bin close by as all the resinous sugar leaves will make for the most mouth-watering hash and extracts. Flavor Expect a long-lasting citrus zest that taste just like it smells. Purple Lemonade FF reeks of a delicious blend of sweet fruits and tart citrus that’ll make your mouth water. On the inhale, expect sour flavors that taste just like lemon candy with hints of orange and a really subtle earthy background. And on the exhale, the citrus flavors open up, giving place to a more sugary berry fruitiness that leaves your whole mouth tasting like an extremely sweet weed-infused lemonade.

Apologies for not updating last week, I have just been really busy! These last couple of weeks have been great - her growth is coming along very well. There are no signs of any deficiencies as of yet, what is your opinion! In regards to defoliating and lollipopping - what growth would you suggest I get rid off?

Harvest time is here for both Mandarin dreams. Both plants were frosty, sticky and healthy, with MD2 being the better of the two. Will update in 7-10 days with dry weight and smoke report. Thanks for stopping by 👽🌳🔥💚 Update 01/26 - dry weight of 141 grams, MD1 surprised me with the higher weight, her buds are much denser than MD2. Smell and taste is fruity, citrus, with a little berry.

EDIT: I thought the girls were done growing verticaly but i guess not. I measured at 51cm 2 times in a row. I just went to check and theyre 58 to 60cm and still going. (Day 37) Growth: This week vertical growth slowed down while the branches are catching up. I had a nitrogen deficiency on all the girls. I still go by the water,water,feed schedule and i usually have 2 dry days between every watering. So they only had 3 feedings of Terra Vega all this time. I think ill do water feed water now that flowering has begun. Lets hope these girls will put on some weight 😁 I added 1 100W cob and will be adding more the coming months. I also have a tent on the way. Training: I defoliated the 4 girls that are in flower and stopped applying LST. #5 (1 week behind) on the other hand got manhandled lol. I accidentally broke off the top and she got supercropped and bounces back within hours. Nutrients: 2ml Canna Terra Vega>>>1.5ml Canna Terra Vega 1ml Canna Terra Flores 2.5ml Cannazym 1x per week

Ladies and gentlemen today is day 70 and yes, we are still in veg, but not for much longer.. I'm just waiting for some space to free up and we're about a week , week and a half from that happening.. i've broke a couple branches off her while training, but she has recouped very well and is as healthy as can be.. i like to think cannabia for letting me run this strain.I really look forward to it.. i'd like to add that i'm feeding her around . 5 tsp Maxibloom.. .5 tsp general hydroponics Silica and bloom city cal mag ..GD only recognizes one of the 3 nutrients I'm using. So I don't waste my time with the above section for it...hope everyone is doing well. Thanks for the likes and the love.God bless and happy growing ✌️

My Strawberry Gorilla Automatic from Fast Buds is now in its third week of flowering, and I couldn’t be happier with how she’s progressing. She looks incredibly healthy, with vibrant green leaves and strong branches. The stretch phase is nearly over, and she has developed a solid structure with a well-defined main cola.🌱 One of the most exciting changes this week is the first appearance of trichomes on the main bud. Under the light, they’re starting to sparkle, hinting at the resin production that’s about to take off. The buds are forming nicely, and I can already smell a faint but promising aroma developing. So far, she’s responding well to the nutrients and environment, with no signs of deficiencies or stress. If she keeps going at this pace, she’s going to be a real beast by harvest time.😊

11/29/22: Just switched her to flower about 4 days ago and started with bloom nutes.. was struggling with ph again past few days trying to level out again seeing some signs of lockout so flushed her with water and lite cal-mag she is looking better today.. she's really starting to stretch out hoping my tent is going to be tall enough with light hanging but we will see.. this is actually a pretty tough plant to grow but I'm gonna get her..

Hi all🧑‍🌾 Welcome to my final 🍌💜👊 week update. First of all. I would like to thank you all for such an amazing support on this bananas journey. I am amazed of the amount of love received from community here. Thank you Grow Diaries and Fastbuds for opportuniy to share and grow this amazing genetics. Love you all❤️💜💚 Was looking for strong indica dominant strain and after reading and hearing so much about this one. Just couldn't resist to not give a go. Was a bit worried before planting seeds that my final yield outcome may not be satisactionary as only have 0.26msq and Fastbuds advertising this strain as 450-550g msq but thankfuly my result was way above this scale. My 2 beautiful ladies Athena - right corner lady. She was slighlthly more dominant over entire grow cycle. She got more space on scrog earlier and that's why she developed the most. Xena - left corner lady, I belive that she could outgrew her sister if she just have more space and another week of time. Did not expect her to turn so well on the end. Both girls were put in darkness for 48h before chop. Wet trimmed and hang for a week. Daily jars burbing for 10 days and every 2-4 days now. Weights Wet trimmed Athena 870g Xena 632g Total 1502g Dry trimmed Athena 172g Xena 147g Total dry 319g Bubble hash 6g (37g of trims) I am very happy with this result. In my opinion Banana Purple Punch Auto its a masterpiece. Thank you so much for all the support, likes, follows and comments 🙏❤️💜❤️ Peace and love brother and sisters ✌️💚🧑‍🌾 Smoke review coming in shortly Links https://2fast4buds.com/seeds/banana-purple-punch-auto https://plagron.com https://www.biobizz.com/ https://fishheadfarms.com/

I think the stretch is going to start now. All are in bloom and developing OK. Leaves are drooping a bit too much for my taste and due to the bushy growth are quite overlapping. But I'll from now just let them grow and try to do as little as possible.. Which is incredibly hard. Sometimes I just sit 10 mins staring at my girls,smelling their scent and being thankful that I don't have to fear being locked up for growing a fucking plant 😄

She’s finally showing signs of her ready to be chopped next week I’ve been flushing the gelato autoflower over the past 4days and see her buds fattening up and sparkly sticky trichomes covering the full plant with orange-brown pistols while 30% of the plant is still got white pistols so with the continuing flushing over the next week she should be ready for harvest

Threw a shade cloth over the top to help with a week of 90's into the 100's. Due too some time limitations and dry room space restrictions, two of the furthest along girls will be harvested in the next 7-10 days. Then 7-10 days after that the last two will need to be harvested, hoping they get far enough along :).
