Day 78. 4 girls started to fade away, for them its last feed and i hope by january 9 they will be choped. I see some cloudy trich, got small bud for a test and better view under microscope, still early, hope two weeks for them and 3 for other except Strabery Cough which is still in veg and late FastDiesel which will flower till mid-late february .. StrawberyCough will have heavy defoliation on friday. Merry Christmas ! Day 80. Strawbery cough had a hard life, she was the biggest plant, but didnt fit into my edited plans, so i gave her away.. she had low temps, no light for 6 weeks, i took her back totaly f**ked. Now she has new home, will defoliate and Lst her on saturday, thought i will have to wait couple days for her to recover from transplanting but she loves life ! Other girls are fine, not so fat as i would want it 4sure ... One girl will fall on new years eve and time will be changed to 12/12 for strawbery cough to finish in februrary... Just havent made my mind, have super sugary Fatty or Early Tangie, those two plants are most matured and i need one space for Strawbery ... Day 81. All girls are geting second round of water after heavy feed. Trich still clear or partly cloudy, thinking to make one more feed for all. Decided to leave all girls to mature, even under weaker light because of Strawbery Cough, which got heavy training, now couple days to recover and she goes to 12/12. Day 82. Couldnt hold it, some of them smells so nice, that my patience was weakend ;))) Bud is dense and really sticky, now i know, they need minimum two weeks. Low light hours, leds, couple mistakes made them to mature really slowly compaired to my expectations. Think some of them will need maybe 3 weeks+ to mature ... Rethought my feed plan, no more nutes for all girls , just Late FastDiesel and StrawberyCough will be on nutes schedule. For all other girls its ph water 2x and light molasses mix to finish round, will repeat it till chop day . Hope they will start to fade away quicker. Plus when i was transplanting Strawbery noticed nutes salts inbetween air stones, quess they have a lot in pots, maybe taste will be cleaner even if i loose part of weight. Never bumped them so much, my cheap ppm meters shows 780-950 readings and i put almost recomended dose, usually i go with 1/4 of recomended dose of nutes. Strawbery loves new 50 L pot and recovers from haircut, couple more days and she goes into flower mode. Night temps droped to 19 from 22. Day 83. Got Christmas presents from RQS, now will have to start new crop in midle of February if i want to finish it before real summer heat will kick in. Girls dont grow indoors at mines, too hot. So plan is to finish Late FastDiesel in main tent( Strawbery Cough forcing me to buy new small tent for it to finish and save some time for me), hope it will be around midle of February and to start new my dream run by then ;) Will try to do diary with all my mistakes from previos grows explained and hopfuly prevented ;)))) I will see how much time it takes, but next will be 100% of action documented and explained. One more time, Thank You #RoyalQueenSeeds ! Day 84. Just wait now, think all way is clear and i just need to finish my trip ;) Happy New Year !

So please don"t trip out on this. I know my conditions are not accurate or my nutrient amounts. Lost my notebook with all my notes on this grow. All I have are the pics which I'll post. The dates of the pics may not correspond with the weeks in the diary. Kids, make sure you keep up to date if you are going to keep a diary online and keep a written one. I definitely learned my lesson. Several weeks of notes on 5 different strains lost. Well enjoy the pics at least.

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/

* Starting this week with a final 🍃 defoliation, the plants responded really great after every training (LST, defoliation, lollipoping), eating and drinking like real champs 🏋️‍♀️ 🧗‍♂️. * Humidifier 🌪️ makes a real difference, through low humidity (40%-50%) we achieved better VPD -> more transpiration -> faster growth, the plants enjoying it. * Gemma's crystalize NPK for bloom, collaborates with the others boosters with no problem (reccomend separate mixtures when feeding). ℹ️ You can see the response on the plants after one day --> updated photos ℹ️ Later this week : The plants eating like beasts, watering almost every day, Buds progressing smoothly, Smells too and the canopy is pretty good in this (0.80m ×0.80m ×1.60m tent size) we are impressed with transpiration rate, game changer the humidifier present.

ne, We all should help one another. Human beings are like that. We should live by each other’s happiness - not by each other’s misery. We don’t want to hate and despise one another, share the Joint. And mother earth is rich and can provide for everyone. We can Grow enough Happiness, In this paradise, there is room for everyone. We only exist to bring joy into the world and The way of life can be free and beautiful, but we have lost the way. Grow High and Give the world A smile. At the end we own nothing more then all our memories, lets make them amazing for everyone, nothing to loose only everything to win. A last kiss goodby, a second one, softer and long as a sign, that you are woth it. That Everyone worth who loved and give. Enought Hippie Talk, now have a nice day and an even better grow, thx for watching by.

Whiskers have started to grow..still no Buds though. Stem is long and the plant is a bit slender and spaced out. Watering it every 3 days and fertilising every 7 days. Hopefully I start to see the buds!

the week has been smooth the leaves are fading / dying and i fed 1ml in a liter of water twice in the last 10 days but thinking about starting a flush now its been about 62 days and fastbuds site says 9 weeks. the hairs are mostly white still besides on a few buds its 25% and like 80% orange on 1 bud. trichomes are starting to look amber on sugar leaves about 10-15% amber trichs i need a better loupe to see close up tho. the buds just keep fattening up slowly but surely. im trying to be patient and let them get juicy even if its taking longer than the website advertised, (probably due to me dropping her in veg and overwatering in seedling stages) either way, super happy with the results so far and im thinking about getting another light. im going to try growing 2 plants under the 1 light until then but i think i could fit 3 or maybe 4 if i had a 2nd light. hopefully getting a 2nd tent soon too.

3rd Week of flower and the plants have been stretching a lot. The nanaz x BBC are way taller that the Headbands. I also replace the Electric Sky 180 V2 led light for a IONBOARD S24 200W from Ac Indinity. The buds are starting to appear as well.
