Another week has flown by! The girls are doing great, cruise control this week as I have just been monitoring RH and temps. Trying to keep them as low as possible, I’ve been getting as low as 74 during the day and 68 at night. I finally took a look a look at the trichomes with my jewellers loop, lots of cloudy, and a few amber around the leaves and top colas, but still lot’s of clear trichomes. I’ve ordered myself a wireless/usb digital microscope to assist with the process, and looks like it will be here just in time to determine harvest day. πŸ˜ŽπŸŽ„ I started by eliminating the nutrients at the beginning of the week. I typically allow for 3-4 pure water feeds before I harvest, and at the rate they have been drinking, this should be enough to get through the 7-12 days they have before harvest. I don’t flush, but rather β€œrinse” with normal water amounts, allowing the plant to use up the remaining nutrients in the soil. This also allows me to recover most of the soil from my grows and reuse ♻️ with other soil mix. There has been great debate and a great deal of bro science out there for many years, but the recent studies suggest there is no difference in end result when it comes to flushing or using nutrients right until the end, if a proper dry and cure is performed. What do you think? What do you prefer to do? Thanks for reading this far, leave me a comment with your preferred method πŸ‘ŠπŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦β€οΈ

This is my first official attempt at deep water culture. I've had ties in the past, but I have given up on those plants because they grew too fast and would not fit my grow. The purpose of this is to try to submit one or more for the Auto American Cup. I make clones and deep water culture, and I find it pretty easy when I've grown plants in them. I have seen root growth go insane, and I want to copy it. I have experience with living soil. I figure deep water culture might be the cheapest option because at the end of the day we have to use nutrients.Anyway, I'd rather save dollars per gallon of high quality living soil.Whether or not I buy it or make it. I use humboldt secret liquid nutrients

8/12 - Dropped 3 seeds into RO water to germinate 8/13 - Placed seeds into moist paper towel and into plastic bag to germinate on heat mat. 8/15 - All three seeds sprouted. In the morning I prepared three 3-gallon pots with Roots Organics Original Soil and Nature's Living Soil Autoflower mix. I will be doing Super Soil method for this grow. I filled the bottom one third of the pot with regular soil, then added 1 lb of Nature's Living soil and mixed it in. Then filled the rest of the pot with the regular soil. I topped it with Mosquito Bits for added BTI for pest prevention. Finally, I wet the pots down with RO water and Organic Black Strap Molasses. After about 8 hours, I planted the three seeds and placed them in the 4x5 tent with a humidity dome to keep in moisture. 8/16 - Two of the three already have their true leaves. So, I have removed the humidity domes from those two. 8/17 - The last of the GSCs have sprouted her true leaves so I have removed her dome. I sprayed them lightly again today with RO water and molasses.

Runtz was choped and wet trimmed on day 120, 74 days after switching to 12/12. Was an quite easy trim job, few leafs and a lot of big and very dense nuggets. Super sticky with a beautiful smell. Just love her! Thank you @Zamnesia and @Plagron for hosting this contest! It really was a blast and had so much fun with the community. So many wonderful plants and great pictures – will always remember this as a great time with a good spirit πŸ’šπŸ’šπŸ’š I am very grateful to have won the Eternity grow cup 2025 with this diary. Would love to show off the prices, but can't add any pictures to this week – so you will find them in the last week :)

Harvested the Purple Lemonade. Smell of the flower is extreme! Most of the rosin is coming from the cuttings of the Tropicana Cookies. However, I have not been able to β€œcure” the cuttings of the other plants at a controlled 62% humidity, so this may not be a meaningful result. Thought a little more Anthocyan would surive, but i may have to press @ 160 Mikron next time, will try :)

She is much prettier than she was a week ago :) I remembered that I have my first grow light, which is more compact and it will give me more space, so I changed my light, now the girl's side branches get light too:) I add a lot of video memes, because I really want to win Iphone16 pro ;) and those who don't take risks don't drink champagne:) good luck to everyone.

Place these seeds in the paper towel literally 24hrs later the tap roots were nice and long. I then placed them in jiffy pods and within 24 hours this is how they looked. So far amazing from what I see. Shout out to fast buds!!! This will be ram in the growace Aircube system.

Week 6: Aroma, Buds, and Excitement! πŸŒΏπŸŒΈπŸ’¨ Hey there, fellow growers! It's time for an exhilarating update on my flourishing journey. We've officially reached week 6 of the flowering phase, and let me tell you, it's getting pretty amazing in my grow tent. Here's what's been happening: The aroma that fills the air when I open my tent is mind-blowing! It hits me right in the face with its funky skunkiness, and I can't help but smile. These ladies are developing some seriously potent terpenes, and I can't wait to savor the flavors when it's time to harvest. πŸŒΏπŸ‘ƒπŸ’¨ Speaking of buds, they are looking absolutely stunning. The development is on point, and the density is increasing day by day. I find myself gazing at them with a sense of pride and excitement. These girls are going to be something special. 🌸🌿🌱πŸ’ͺ I'm thrilled to report that there are no signs of seed pods or hermaphroditism. The ladies are staying true to their femininity, focusing solely on producing those gorgeous, resinous flowers. It's a relief and a testament to the genetics and care they've received. 🚫⚑️ To ensure their continued growth, I've upped the watering to 5 liters every two days. These thirsty beauties need their hydration! Along with the increased watering, I've noticed some oranging on the tops and a touch of purpling on the leaves. It's a delightful display of colors that adds even more visual appeal to the grow tent. πŸŒΏπŸŠπŸ’œ As for the nutrient solution, I've maintained a stable pH of 6.33, allowing for optimal nutrient uptake. The TDS level has remained between 1150 and 1250, providing the perfect balance of nutrients for the plants' needs. βš–οΈπŸ“ˆ With everything going so well, I'm buzzing with excitement for what the next week of flowering will bring. The anticipation of harvest is growing stronger, and I can almost taste the rewards. Happy growing, everyone! Catch you next week with more updates. πŸŒΏπŸ’šπŸŒΈπŸ˜„

Hi all, Welcome to my πŸŒπŸ’œπŸ‘Š week update. Thank you so much for your all support on this bananas journey πŸ’œπŸ’šπŸ’œπŸ’š Week 12 Jan 1 - Jan 7 I am so happy seeing how my girls are developing. All it's going great. 2 waterings of 8ltr on 03/01 no runoff and second on 06/01 9.5ltr! Runoffs PH at 6.2. Purchased larger dehumidifier and installed on 03/01 instantly humidity decreaseed from 55-59 to 50-55 on avg. and at night from 62-69 to 54-60. Light from 01/01 on max power output 110 watts. Nutes slightly adjusted. Buds on both girls gaining size, weight. Trichomes on Athena mostly milky and clear with only very few ambers. Xena mostly 50/50 clear and milky, They are smelling gorgeously, not sure if I should smoke or eat them first. Next week will still feed with nutes and keep an eye on trichomes development but it seems that girls are not in a hurry at all. That's okay me neither 😁 Stay tuned for next week entry very soon! Peace and love brothers and sisters βœŒοΈπŸ’š Links https://2fast4buds.com/seeds/banana-purple-punch-auto https://plagron.com https://www.biobizz.com/ https://fishheadfarms.com/

2 girls 1 cup week 3! Thanks for stopping by and checking out my experiment. They're getting a little big to be taking individual overhead pics everyday now. They always both end up in the same shot no matter what. Will still update daily with pic. Got a new cam that can do timelapse. Almost sent it back until I said fuck it and tried TWO layers of sunglasses. Diff colors too. One more of a FLD filter color, one more of a UV filter color. Both are polarized as well. I'm sure the night vision footage will be trash with the IR behind the lenses, so the timelapse will have res checks/changes and night prob edited out. Stay tuned for that! Going 1/2 strength GHE week 3 light feed and actually changed RES last night. Was looking at em and already noticed WG was drooping more than it should. Normal transportation and growth/energize cycles are expected, but was looking overwatered. GC if you look in vid "d14" in first and second set of fingers showing interveinal chlorosis. PH has been between 5.52 and 6.4 (lowest and highest), and averages a swing in a 12hr shift from 5.71'ish to 6.17'ish. Not uploading notes again like last week, but you'd get the idea if you saw them, I take notes lol. So PH wasn't an issue. They've been averaging a 7-15ppm drop in res per 12hr and has only been climbing again due to ph down additions. I should prob change RES mid week so it's not a high concentration of ph product. So they're DEF eating proper, have stable ph swings, optimal res Temps and dissolved oxygen is good. WG taking on more water to get the nutes, causing leaves to droop from excess water. GC moving nutes from old growth to the new growth. So they're hungry. Ghe claims 62.5ppm nitrogen, 275-375ppm target per mixture below. Mixed and measured in between each addition to get my numbers. -2gal Water/calmag/hydroguard 215ppm -Micro 4.9mL - 170ppm -Grow 4.6mL - 100ppm -Bloom 3.4mL - 60ppm Nute concentration - 330ppm (nailed it again GHE) Water - 215ppm Total - 545ppm Ph'd to 5.6 final tds 563ppm Mars Hydro TSW2000 on theeee way to finish these girls off right.. some of my worries are settled. For now... *they just ate 32ppm since this mornings RES chk/adj... I was thinking I'd have to swap RES once mid week once they get older, but think they may benefit from it sooner than later. Tap roots popping out by the chute for the air line, the temp sensor, and the main stack.. going to have to pump the res out pretty soon to avoid root damage. Timelapse will turn out pretty sweet if I would quit bumping the damn camera, and stay TF outta there 🀣. **these girls are starting to BLOW UP! Figured I'd bump their feed up a bit today because they told me to. Eating as much as they are as quick as they are I'm going to have to be on top of it or shit will go south quick.. so, for the record.. GHE wk 3 "light" feed 3/4 strength Projected nitrogen - 93.75ppm Projected TDS - 412.5-562.5ppm 2gal water/calmag/hydroguard 202ppm Micro - 7.35mL 229ppm Grow - 6.9mL 145ppm Bloom - 5.1mL 97ppm Nute total - 471ppm RES total (after ph corrections) - 690ppm May have to hit them harder if they keep eating like they are. Trying to borderline optimal without crisping their leaves. So I am watching the TDS to see how theyre eating. Aiming for 10-15ppm per 12hr. If they eat more, feed em more. Eat less, feed less. Seems to be working so far, just like last time. May up my calmag TDS of my spring water/tap mixture to 250ppm from the 80'ish it ends up being after mixed. I'm sure they want more calcium too. It can't hurt right?? Wedding Glue couldn't be happier with its bump up in nutrition... can't wait for this timelapse... ***realized I messed up settings on timelapse after the fact.. pissed I missed out on the footage from its night and day shift today. Uploaded footage from after RES change with more food for em to eat, sped WAY TF up cause I decided to grab a frame every 3sec vs 1min. Trying 2min this time and stop/save/start vid every 12hr. Fingers crossed it turns out. WG was happy ASF and let me know with a big ole wave. And some BIG growth over the time. Have tied em both down again to avoid topping, yet. . Looks like just wiping off the two leaves that got effected by my carelessness wasn't enough. Few drops of something got on GC in two spots shown in pics. Note taken, wash it off next time or just be more fucking careful.. got it. On a surprising note... RES level not only dropped 600mL, but also dropped from 690 to 645ppm (total tds). So they're eating MORE with the increased feed... doesn't suprise me much, but heard auto's don't like to be over 6-700?? Nute concentration @ 471 yesterday, and it's dropping FAST... will probably fatten up their plate on Sunday and go with a RES change, full strength week 3 GHE. ****tired of reading this shit yet?? Here we go with yet another RES change.. just bumped em up YESTERDAY! they're still showing signs of hunger, WG more than GC. Can't let these girls go hungry now can I? A couple bucks in nutes down the drain is better than letting em starve.. Plus they're more attractive when their leaves aren't full of water. So here goes... starting to smell in the tent.. GHE wk 3 light feed Projected nitrogen - 125ppm Projected ppm - 550-750ppm 2gal spring/tap, calmag, hydroguard - 248ppm Micro - 9.8mL 362ppm Grow - 9.2mL 189ppm Bloom - 6.8mL 111ppm Nute total = 662ppm RES total (after ph correction) - 940ppm Just realized if I delete timelapse from wyze app, it deletes from gallery too. Fuck, another good one... my bad. I think I got it now... side note, guess I have to count cotyledons as first node since these bitches wanna grow some arms from what mangled pieces are left next to em. Need to grab some 91% before I go cutting on these girls though, so they stay for now. *****d19 mars tsw2000 showed up two days early! hung it during the "night". timelapse updated, day 18 and 19. lots of growth under the fans, and WG trying to push GC tf out of the cup lol. Training rods installed for the mains, and all the 3 fingers are plucked. Ended up plucking a 9 finger from WG and a 5 finger from GC to make way for the under growth. Feel like Bruce Almight parting a bowl of soup lol ******didn't want to post a pic of my girls in distress, but documenting everything else, so why tf not. swapped out the clear sight tube for a more UV friendly agro green. Marked the tube in the same spot as the clear, but it was almost a gallon more in reality at the same mark. I was drowning them with no air gap below the upper growing chamber. After measuring, it was submerged by about 5/8th inch. Sorted that out, and took almost all day for em to perk up. On top of that, the new light and adding another oscillator changed my environment. No more humidifier in the tent. Thought I lost both of them.. Soggy leaves, spotting, etc. Backed nutes back down to 3/4 strength wk 3 due to slight curling in new growth and one lighter tip on one new finger. Shortened the training rods tonight and started with some bondage. Prob the last time they'll get tied down before the net gets used (if needed) here in a week or so. Backed off to 16 DLI from 20 until they really perk up. End of week 3

Day 28: What a great week it has been for these ladies this week. They have all got on with business in a very orderly fashion. Gorilla#1 has now been trained a little with some gentle L.s.t to pull her main down. I am hoping to not add any recovery needs that will slow growth down at all so no topping. #2 She has been the most productive and has gone way past her initial stake out points. Staked out she is showing approx 7-8 good prospects for mains. I took the small lowest growth out to not waste energy on them. #3 has engulfed her 30L pot already and tied down she looks even more able. she is showing small pre flower hairs at a few bracts . Her fan leaves are a huge size already and tucking them away was hard. #4 Has been pulled down on her 5th node to encourage the lowers to gain some size. she is still fairly squat and bushy looking. Sweet Cheese is slowly gaining size now and has remained low to the surface if the pot so far. I think she will be more natural grown. Overall it feels like a great entrance into their final weeknof flower possibly. Now we have some mains set out for their long stretch session in flowering. I don't think height will be an issue for them in my room this run.lol I gave them all a really heavy feed to get the pots active with the biosys and life-cycle again now and hope I can catch them right for their flowering boost needs. I have bought some shogun Pk and their finisher too. lets hope its a drama free week. Be safe and well growies

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.
