The plants are in excellent shape. The buds are getting very thick and starting to bend towards the ground, I have to think about putting in a scrog net.
The buds are full of trichomes and some have yellow leaves indicating the impending end of the cycle. I think I'll cut in 10 days.

Hey, there peeps!
Apologies for not updating my diary as I have been quite busy balancing non-plant responsibilities -.-!
Anyway, we are now on day 75 since I ordered my equipment and started germinating my seed and day 71 since I placed my seedling in her first Coco pot! She is now a staggering 4 foot 2 - which was overwhelming considering this is my first grow and orginally only cleared out 2/3 of my cuboard but now it uses the whole space but she's coming along so well! I have also added a LED Grow Light Full Spectrum 50W Red COB as I wanted some extra light for the bottom half nuggests.
She is very healthy (I assume from the strong healthy roots) and hasnt shown any major defects other then the initial defects i encountered in week 2-3 and slight light burn on the top cola in week 7 which was from the plant growing so quickly and touching the light, but I did then adjust the light within 2-3 hours.
What do you guys think and how did she get so tall consdiering she is an auto-flower and the strain is meant to be indica domiant?

This plant was an absolute dream to. Grow, no issues at all with health of plant, just struggled to tame her as she was a a thick strong climber 馃挭馃挭.
I'm so impressed with how this turned out, I could have flushed for another 3 days to make it 12days but I needed the space.
After The 2 days of dark I was recommended I can definitely say it has vastly boosted her trichomes and the smell when I opened the tent blew my head away 馃槏馃構
Aiming for a 10-14 day hang dry,
The 10-12 weeks curing in jars with humidity packs.
I will update with a dry bud weight and smoke test 馃憣
Bud wet weight is just 500g+
Final bud dry weight is 298g.
Of juicy resinous purple and orange buds 馃槏 smells like sherbert and hang dry smoke test revealed a candy sherbert, no banana yet but hoping like the grow it matures with cure process now.
Hits eyes straight away, sandy bottom kids, giggles, munchies, fun time with Mrs, bed. Full cycle with this one very happy over here 馃槈馃榿馃挌
FAT BANANA AUTO FROM ROYAL QUEEN SEEDS, big thank you to the team, and the breaders. What a pheno I received. I appreciate you all

Straightforward with nothing to report out of the ordinary. I top watered on day 56 then let them dry back prior to harvest (day 61). Nice mix of milky and amber trichomes. Harvested early morning prior to lights on.

Defoliated here and there, she's stretching hard now so I'm gonna have to wait a few more weeks before I can really start stripping and defoliating her. Because I LST, topped, and then super cropped all the main branches, there's way to much branches for the available surface.

Week 9 is here. Massive shout to RQS & James for supporting me in this grow. Once again the genetics that RQS have is unbelievable. 鉁岋笍
Day 58, buds are fattening up real nice with a very nice smell. I hope to carry on feeding for another 2 weeks then start the flush. I plan to remove some more leafs of the topped plant she is so bushy but full off bud! Water feed repeat for this lady鈥檚 for now.
Thank you for all the support and love shown during this grow. Have a great week 鉁岋笍馃憡馃徎馃挌馃檶

Aug 31: Fast. I got home from work today and could see a notable increase on the flowers. Very exciting.
Sep 2: plants are fine but we鈥檙e having yet another bad air day due to wildfire smoke. The red tint on the photos is due to smoke. This is pretty bad, but it was worse a few times in May. It鈥檚 supposed to clear later this weekend.
Sep 3: still smoky but rained a bit which helps. Gorilla Cookies has the best flowers but also seemed to catch the most rainwater in the buds. Gave each branch a shake to help prevent problems.
Sep 4: soil is holding water since the last compost tea. This reduction in infiltration rate can happen apparently, and the trick is to not overwater it. It鈥檚 also cool today so minimal water used.
Sep 5: cool today with gusty winds that blew over Bruce and Gelato. Small footprint of the 5 gallon bag isn鈥檛 quite big enough to be stable when plant is this big. Trade off with using a more easily moved size, and that should also help promote early flowering.

Day 29- Increased Silica Gold dose by 1ml.
Day 33- Defoliated some fans leaves that are blocking the new shoots.
Day 34- Check out the shoots!
Comparison- The 5gal plant that gets topped is doing much better than other two 5gal plants in LST!!
Probably going to replenish the soil with aerated worm+microbe tea next week.

Flower day 17 - All the ladies are looking great, starting to see a lot of bud sights & the smell is definitely getting stronger everyday I open the tent! Thanks for following & happy growing friends!馃尡鉁岋笍馃徏
Flower day 19- Got a bigger dehumidifier because I was having problems on days I would water the humidity would go through the roof at night so to prevent mold I bought a bigger dehumidifier but now it is throwing off so much heat the tent is pushing 90 degrees F at some points throughout the day so I鈥檓 not exactly sure how to fix the issue! Will definitely not be running so many plants in the next run for the 5x5! Hopefully things get better!馃槄馃槄

Girls are packing on weight, the bushy girl WW1 (the only red 1)is definitely behind the rest in terms of flowering, kinda shitty as it鈥檚 the only one showing significant stress from the cold nights.
Found some powdery mildew on 2/4 girls. Mixed up 10ml Apple cider vinegar with 1 quart of water and gave the infected leaves a spray, over sprayed on the buds hopefully that鈥檚 fine. PM seemed to instantly disappear, I will continue to monitor. It鈥檚 definitely from the drastic temp changes, 3 at night and 25 during the day.
The midget has some flowers now, no nutes, no trimming and it鈥檚 a dense bush. Showing no signs of stress or PM. Maybe she will live well into the cold and produce some harvestable bud, we鈥檒l see!
Fall is around the corner!
