Stretch starting

No extra nutrients given in the last week or so, but no flushing as such. Harvested this week, since the smell was discernible from outside the house ;-) Now drying, in a remote shed.

2 GIRLS IN 1 CUP: This round I have decided to grow the BANANA KRUMBLE from GREENHOUSE SEEDS. It is a cross of Banana Punch with the original OG-Kush and said to have a very strong effect, which makes it a good medicine against my chronic backpain! In the catalogue description of Greenhouse it says the buds grow compact with big colas and get a purple coloration. Since I LOVE PURPLE VARIETIES OF CANNABIS I decided to give this strain a go. 😃 I planned on doing 4 plants in a SCROG (=screen of green) with longer veg time to train the plants into my trellies, but all 10 seeds germinated well and grew into healthy seedlings, so I decided to keep 8 instead of 4 plants and do 2 plants per pot --> hence the title of the diary: 2 GIRLS IN 1 CUP ... 😉😜 In my HOMEBOX Ambient R120 growtent I use four 20 liter pots filled with soil amended with BIO TABS nutrient tablets (3 tablets per 20 liter container plus 100 gram Startrex, 6 gram Mycotrex, 2 gram Bacterex) and watered it with Orgatrex (5 ml/liter water). The Bio TABS nutrients are VERY CONVENIENT, after amending the soil I only need to give pure tab-water for the rest of the cycle, which saves me a lot of time. Since the soil is self-regulating with BIO TABS I als do NOT need to measure the ph- or EC-value of my water and adjust the ph-value. No mattter what, pure tab-water is all thats needed from now on...yiiippie. During veg. (4 weeks after germination) I use two SANlight Q4W-Gen.2 LED lamps, which are dimmed to 40% (=no green light on dimmer ON) for the first to weeks and then increased to 60% (week 3) and then to 80% (week 4). At the beginning of flowering I add one Q3WL-Gen.2 in the center of my tent and increase the dimming slowly from 40% to 80% over the next few week. The spectrum and the light intensity of the SANlight LEDs are OUTSTANDING and PERFECT FOR GROWING CANNABIS! Unfortunately I didnt take any pics before week 12, therefore I described the setup here. Now in week 12 (=week 8 of flowering) all 8 plants have developed HUGE colas, which are GLISTENING with TRICHOMES and already show a BEAUTIFUL purple coloration. 😍 You can see an nice overview in the video above. The plants have a sweet smell (like cinnamon with banana) with a gassy and fuelly undertone from the Kush...simply DELICIOUS!

So, with the harvest complete and the dry finished, the rest is now going into jars for the final cure and storage. Overall I enjoyed this grow, it needed minimal interventions and had a smaller work load compared to the other grows. The amount of dried flowers is 752g (1.11gpw) so a decent haul, I threw a lot of B grade buds in the hash bag due to the large number of low level flowering sites (I need to rethink my canopy management) and also with the lack of stretch after flipping made the internodal spacing a bit too tight. Managed to extract 215g of grade a hash from her as well which I have pressed into a slab (pictures). I learned many things along the way, namely root health and the importance of keeping organic additions as low as possible. I also decided to try out clones for my next run, just to get a little more canopy and growth consistency - those of which are in an aeroponics tub at the moment waiting to root (picture). Thanks for those of you who followed along most of the way, good luck with all your grows!

Week 4 💯 5-6 Day 22, readjusted LST. May have over watered a tad. Some clawing, fix in progress! Clipped 1 maybe 2 leaves, purely for light.

Hello my friends 👨‍🌾👩‍🌾, Week was good, preflowering continues, Buds sites are forming 🌲🌲, we start to have a nice rectangular green screen 😀😍. The canope start to be good, I stopped to train the stems, I didn't removed leaves this week, just kick off the big leaves, probably a last defoliation next week. 💦 2 Watering this week 1.5l/plant . Water + Cannazym + Sugar Royal Water + Terra vega + Canna Boost PH@6 I continue to spray with water each day, they love it 😀. Lamp @100% As you can see, I've added the SP3000, will be setup next week 😋😋💡💡 Thanks community for follow, likes, comments, always a pleasure 👩‍🌾👨‍🌾❤️🌲 See you next week 👊👊 Mars Hydro - TS 1000 https://www.mars-hydro.com/ts-1000-led-grow-light Mars Hydro - FC3000 https://www.mars-hydro.com/fc-3000-samsung-lm301b-led-grow-light Mars Hydro - SP3000 https://www.mars-hydro.com/sp-3000-samsung-lm301b-greenhouse-led-grow-light The High Chameleon - Vannila T https://www.thehighchameleon.com/shop/vanilla-t-5

A very stable environment this week. Everything on cruise control with feedings coming in every other day. All plants do have fading leaves on the bottom that eventually fall off and dry up. Outside temps on the rise which should be challenging with out AC. I do like the fact that the humidity is down due to temp and can keep mildew and mold at bay with minimal effort.

Seems to always stop in the 3rd to 4th week 😕 but they are starting fill out now. Banana Blaze 🍌 out now little longer then I'm used too but I'll take it.

Very easy first grow very happy with results best weed I ever smoked and I can only get better from here so I'm excited to keep seeing more and more progress

Organization was the word for the week. I organized the leaves on Daphni by cutting some old fan leaves and low level leaves. I organized my CO2 injection procedure. CO2 tank to REGULATOR thru SOLENOID connected to TIMER every two hours with lights on. I also organized the power strip in the back with cable ties and sleeves. Finally I had to organize my way out of a FUBAR situation when the oxigenating device in the RainForest 66 Reservoir stopped working. I will have some words to say to Katie in customer service for sure. I got a standard oxiginator and a disk shaped air stone and use that now to keep the water healthy. Daphni is staring to bud more on the lower nodes and the progress so far looks good. Knock on wood. Since i turn the exhaust fan off when CO2 is injected i dont really need the heater so I took it out. Have a great week.

Her tap root sprouted within 12 hours of wetting! I moved her from paper towels to the aerocloner after only one day. Mokum’s Tulip was the 1st Prize Best Indica, in the Clouds in the City Cup 2019. She is a Gelato-based feminized seed variety which has a sweet candy scent similar to a Dutch Tulip. She is very strong with mind-numbing effects achieved by crossing selected Gelato and Sherbet genetics. Terpene rich and THC rich, this XXL variety has rock hard buds, heavy yields and an exhilarating high.

Hello everyone, I would like to thank you all for your likes and comments, it really motivates me to continue. This time it will be a special diary for me because I received from FastBuds all the girls who participated in it as a prize in the competition. @Fast_Buds The seeds began their adventure on cotton pads, and I used distilled water as the medium. After only 20 hours, cracks appeared, and after less than 3 days, the sprouts were over 3.5 cm long and ready to be put into pots.

Officially week 7 Dec 31: Came back a week later to very heavy pots, needed 36 hour drying period, not happy, smaller plant has tips of leaves curling down, some like taco, dryed out the pots and went back to normal conservative feeding, need to fine tune the auto irrigation setup before I use it again for sure. All in all, nothing crazy happened. Really cool to see a plant be small, but way bigger after a week of vacation. First grow seems to be going pretty good! PS: I think my hygrometer is broken, saying 85-100% RA even when I significantly improve airflow and it doesn't seem anywhere near that. Gonna do the salt paste test on the hygrometer . Jan 1: I recalibrated my hygrometer and it’s working great, weird leaf curling of smaller plant still happening but seems to be improving, big plant is frosty and fat for week 7, seems to be at same stage in development as smaller plant but the pheno is beautiful.

It's time for a juicy weekly report on my Purple Lemonade FF from Fast Buds. This gal has been a delight to work with, and I can't wait to share the exciting updates with you! First things first, let's talk about the art of branch bending. I've been gently training her branches, guiding them to spread out and create a bushier canopy. It's like yoga for plants, finding that perfect balance and creating a symphony of growth. The result? A luscious, full-bodied plant ready to thrive. But before we dive deeper, let's talk about cleanliness. I've been on a cleaning spree, making sure the new tent and autopot system are squeaky clean. Why is this important, you ask? Well, my friends, a clean environment is like a breath of fresh air for our plants. It helps prevent unwanted guests like pests and diseases from crashing the party. So, armed with steam and an ionizer, I sanitized every nook and cranny, ensuring a pristine haven for my Purple Lemonade. Now, picture this: I gently moved her into the newly cleaned home, with excitement bubbling in my veins. To support her growth and create an even canopy, I implemented a scrog net. It's like a trampoline for the branches, providing a framework for them to stretch and dance upon. The scrog net helps me achieve an even distribution of light and encourages those lower branches to reach for the stars. And here comes the fun part - the joke! So, imagine my plant in the scrog net, all spread out and happy. It's like a botanical version of Spider-Man's web-slinging adventures. With great training comes great buds, right? In conclusion, my fellow growers, the journey with my Purple Lemonade FF is a joyous one. Branch bending, clean environments, and the scrog net dance are all part of the magical process. Remember to nurture your plants with love, guide their growth, and create an environment that allows them to shine. Stay tuned for the next update, where we'll dive even deeper into the wonders of my Purple Lemonade FF.

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.

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.

Weather and Sun bring forth bounty.

4/15/25 Things are progressing nicely. Some plants dont seem to be doing too much but 3 of them or so that are really standing out. Im curious if some of these are going to be longer flowering time than anticipated with the very obvious sativa dominant plants.

Week 2 started off rough as the hot sun and lack of water caused her to fall over. I watered her last night and she’s back up today. Another week of just sun and water. It’s a rainy week so got some humidity in the air
