Some high-stress training was required. Fartbutt (the plant on the right) outgrew the container again, so I intentionally snapped the top to prevent further upward growth (I left it attached so it could still form a central cola.

10/5/24 - Purple Punch 馃憡 & Green Crack 馃挌 Girls got a top feed of 7.3 pH, and runoffs are strong 6.4. PPMs are a little lower last dunk on the GC, so we are going to bump up her feed a little, and reduce the feed on the Purple Punch.

VIDEOS ADDED FOR @Fast_Buds #BestStrainPresentation Contest! HARVEST - DAY 96 - 06/20/2020 - NEW PHOTOS ADDED (06/27/2020) - CURING AS OF 06/23/2020 DRY/CURE UPDATE 06/23/2020: DRY WEIGHT: 64 GRAMS - 44g Buds - 16g Trim/Larf - Best Results Yet! 馃檹 Best Quality flower I have been able to grow in my short hobby career. Best looking, density, quality of flower due in heavy part to @Fast_Buds genetics and my slowly improving grow skills. Cannot wait to get a full test once they dry and cure for 2-4 weeks. I'm going away in a couple weeks so I will take my half-cured tester up and test it by the lake 馃槑馃槆 Mac, Frank, and Charlie all down on 06/20/2020 after a week of half light and 48 hours of pure dark. Mac is fully ripe to get that stoney effect. Frank should be right in the sweet spot for highest THC. Charlie is a week or so early for that early energetic pure Sativa end of the spectrum. Mac was a fresh wet trim for the photoshoot. Frank just got trimmed and chopped up today so I will take dry pics before they go in the cure jars. Charlie is still hanging with the sugars. Will trim him today or tomorrow. All have a couple days left hang drying in the tent minimum. Will update with pictures as I go! UPDATE: 06/27/2020 Curing and breathing 2x a day since the 23rd. Made hash for the first time! About a gram from the trim and a crappy magic bullet blender has set up 馃槄 Going to turn it into Cannabutter for @9teen90 for the help on the logo creation! Give her a follow on IG! -- Thanks for checking it out! Throw down a like and/or follow so I can return the favour! 馃檶 -- IG: @GlazedGrow - Msg me you're from Grow Diaries so I can follow back and avoid bots/plugs!

I saw a fly in the tent about 10 days ago. The larvae of these flies feed on the roots of the plant. I first watered it with diluted hydrogen peroxide. then i flushed. now the ladies are fine. 馃馃尡馃馃憤馃憤

Room setup rundown, examples of bud, et al in pictures... Seedlings/Clones lights - Viparspectra XS1500. Vege lights - Mars Hydro FC-4800 Flower Lights - 650w 3400K 1900umol/s PAR, (3) 226w DIY 2900K 630umol/s PAR (678w and 1890umol/s), Substrate - 50/50 sphagnum peat moss and vermiculite in 5-gallon pots Climate Control - Luckily, the lights, winter and normal furnace use all equate to a decent temperature, though a bit on colder side in in vege phase, sadly. Humidifier is needed early and later a dehumidifier is needed when canopy develops. I only grow in the winter months. Irrigation - do not use the emitters in this diary. They suck a big fat dick to skip a line to suck a bigger dick. Use the pressure compensating type. https://growdiaries.com/diaries/232811-strawberry-cookies-og-r1-cherry-diesel-bbgs-ego-epg-ebg-grow-journal-by-001100010010011110/week/1366923 -- use something similar to those. They come in different shapes, too. Basic process The little light takes care of seedlings in 2.5" wide seedling pots until first up-pot. The 1-gallon pots fit well under the FC4800 in a 4x4 tent until day 21 after sprout. I plant 150% or more of what i need, so i can kill the weak without concern. The goal is for every plant that makes it to the 5-gallon up-pot being capable of producing a minimum of 160 grams with a maximum of a 35-40 day vegetative phase. Third up-pot is into 5-gallon nursery pots and now under the 3 DIY lights and the 650W light in the big tent for a couple more weeks of vege. An irrigation system in the big tent saves a lot of time. One scrog for training and another for support, just in case. Reverting back to a more systematic approach to canopy composition moving forward. About 2.3 colas per sq ft and 8 primary colas per plant. Yields were similar when over-crowding and being less systematic, but the proportion of less dense nugs is greater and trim time is needlessly elevated because of that fact. I was very controlling about this the first couple years but got away from it for far too long at this point. Drying / Curing - Into mesh racks for 9 days. I wet trim and cut down to similarly sized buds for even drying. Temps are controlled around 68F and RH is set to 60%. Then into some 5-gallon buckets with gamma seal lids and (3) 2-way 67g boveda humidipaks (58% or 62%) in each bucket - 1 at bottom, 2 at top. Temp/RH probe confirms that they hold the RH steady at 60-63%. Cost - 0.33 cents (USD) per gram produced. This includes an accelerated depreciation expense for all equipment used, fertilizer, water, electricity for all equipment used, new filters and other yearly purchases - bti, ph strips, sticky traps, etc. I'm a finance guy, so these numbers are comprehensively accurate and purposely err slightly on high side of cost. The only facet not included is the cost of my labor.

Plant is 6 weeks from seed tomorrow, I have upped nutes to 3ml per litre of both A +B Canna coco nutrients for a couple of waterings but she's soon started showing nute burn again so i've lowered to 2.75ml . Stretch has slowed right down and I'm hoping will stop very soon

Hello. This is the last look before harvest for Sister Amnesia Lemon and the others. Except for the flood of fungus gnats, this flowering went well. Because I have a medical cannabis license I was thinking about sending some of these buds in to be tested (it's free with the license purchase). Flushing is finished and there will be a few days of dark and then harvest. Thanks for checking in. Chuck.

23/1/22: Two of the plants seem to be maturing quicker than than the rest and are the only plants so far showing any amber trichomes. I may need to flush these from next week. the remaining 4 are coming along though they are coming along slowly. Conditions are kept the same as previous week.

The organic girl got transplanted in 7l pot with all-mix biobizz soil at the beginning of the week. The first watering after that was a week later. The EC of the run-off was on 2.53 as you can see in the picture, so I flushed it with ph(6.5) water mixed with the nuts I mention above(EC 0.32). I flushed until the EC got down to 1.3. I don't want it to get burned again cuz of the high EC in the soil. As of today, day 29, the newly adolescent plant is looking perky again. As far as I can read on the Biobizz bottles, all the nuts have a very acidic ph. That makes sense considering that they are organic and they need to have a long shelf life. No bacteria or fungus will go in such an acidic medium. Therefore I find it essential to increase the ph of the water after adding the nuts. Another thing I noticed is that they now released a CalMag product(finally), which they recommend using especially when using RO water.

Hello Diary. Fourth week of flowering. The first thing I will point out is the amazing fruity scent of Fat Banana. I literally run out of saliva from the smell, I can鈥檛 wait to try the flavor.馃構 As can be seen in the photos, the brown spots from last week have turned into whole yellow leaves with brown spots. 馃槦 I鈥檓 not 100% sure what caused it, but what鈥檚 possible is that she got too many nutrients. (Overfeeding) Considering the RQS pellets I put in the ground, and the amount of BioBizz I added, it鈥檚 still maybe too much for Fat Banana. 馃槼 If anyone is reading this post, feel free to comment on your opinion for the cause of such leaves.馃檹 Since her roommates, Haze Berry Automatic, have the same treatment, and there are no such symptoms on them, I'm not 100% sure about overfeeding. Although I don鈥檛 add BioBizz every time I water, but when I add it, I put it on schedule for that week. Perhaps the concentration of nutrients in such watering is too high for this strain. Let鈥檚 take a look at what happened last week. 07/11/2020 - Day 44. Watering. I preventively added 1ml / l CalMg and regulated p.H. at 6.3 with Plagron鈥檚 Lemon Kick. Temp / Humidity on the farm - 25.4 degrees and 44% humidity. 09/11/2020 - Day 46. Watering. Since I noticed leaf decay, I watered like two days earlier just by adding CalMg and I regulated p.H. at 6.4 Temp / Humidity on the farm - 25.7 degrees and 44% humidity. 12/11/2020 - Day 49. Photographing and watering. This time I added BioBizz as scheduled for the current flowering week. Temp / Humidity on the farm - 24.8 degrees and 44% humidity. Although Fat Banana shows yellow leaves and brown spots on some leaves, the flowers themselves have not been affected so far. We'll see how things go. See you soon. 馃檶
