Hello Growmies,
The moment we've been waiting for is finally hereβharvest week for our Caramel strains! These plants have completed their journey, and they are ready to be harvested.
Caramel #1 is a sight to behold with its thick, densely-packed buds covered in a thick layer of trichomes. The lush green leaves and the stickiness of the buds are perfect indicators of peak resin production. The buds are heavy and fully mature, promising a potent and flavorful yield.
Caramel #2, with its bushier structure and numerous dense bud sites, continues to impress. The heavy foliage and resinous buds suggest a high resin output, and the plant is ready for harvest. The unique genetic traits of this phenotype have fully expressed themselves, promising a rich and flavorful yield.
Caramel #3, though slightly less dense in its bud formations, has matured beautifully. The elongated buds and lighter foliage are covered in trichomes, suggesting peak potency. The unique phenotypic expressions hint at distinct aroma and flavor profiles that will be revealed upon curing.
Based on the attached pictures, the plants look exceptionally healthy and ready. The wet weight of the combined harvest is an impressive 1.3 kilograms, with Caramel #1 and Caramel #2 each contributing 400 grams, and Caramel #3 an outstanding 500 grams. The smell is wonderfully unique, filling the air with a sweet, rich scent that is distinctive to the Caramel strain.
The meticulous care and attention over the past weeks have culminated in this moment. The journey of Caramel #1, Caramel #2, and Caramel #3 has been remarkable, and I'm thrilled to share the final results with you all. The rich, flavorful yield promises to be worth the wait.
Stay lifted,
Salokin

End of Week 12 (Fifth week of flower)
The ladies are smelling reDANKulous and are so frosty and sticky I can't remove fan leaves without getting my hands sticky. Next level terpene profiles.
I did a final increase in CO2 to 1500ppm.
The main top-sites are taking shape.
I have been keeping a cooler average temperature - and also keeping the relative humidity lower.
Pest Report: None

I'm quite satisfied, the little one doesn't seem to be sparring, but the first leaves haven't grown very nicely. Above all, it could grow a little faster.
110 ml water on 1.5.

I would definitely recomend trying this strain. I am not sure if my seeds were from this breeder but my word the seeds i got were an absolute gem to grow compared to the other plants.

The plants have taken to their Earthboxes, especially #1 with the BuildASoil Light. The Earthbox with my Coots mix was the runt, plus I damaged the roots during transplant so it has an uphill battle, but I wouldn't count it out yet. It was looking droopy and with slight discoloration, but after a drench of Kashi Blend Tea (1/3 cup Kashi Blend, 1 teaspoon blackstrap molasses in 1 gallon of water for 24 hours) it perked right up.
As for preventative pest management, I've kept doing foliar applications every 4 days of EM-FPE -> EM-1, next week I will incorporate the just-finished EM-5. I made a JADAM wetting agent (JWA) but I have realized even local bottled water is too mineral-heavy for it, so I will need to find a source of distilled water if I want to use it in my foliar regime.
Next week I will begin doing LST to get some more tops going. At some point I plan to add a trellis, I have been busy with work but I will find the time to set up something, preferably a trellis that can move with the Earthbox to facilitate maintenance and not have them fixed in place for the entire training and flowering cycles.

25th of September
24th week for the Critical
22nd week for the Lemon
Critical has very fat buds but not so much stacking only 3 or 4, healthy dark green wide leaves
Lemon had a slight yellowing and buds are not as closely stacked, they are smaller but each branch has 7 or 8
Random one is currently the best as buds size and stacking. Nice size, 8-9 closely stacked and with many sugar leaves.
It started to show some yellow leaves, so I mixed some coffee grounds in it and into the Lemon one too. It should fix the Nitrogen deficiency
Next week Iβll ad the PK Booster

DID SOME MORE MAJOR DEFOLIATION ON ALL THE PHOTOPERIODS AGAIN, THE 2ND WEEK IVE DONE IT, SO THE LIGHT CAN PENETRATE THE BOTTOM BRANCHES . NOT MANY LEAVES LEFT AGAIN LOL. CHECK EM OUT NEXT WEEK TO SEE THEM HOPEFULLY EXPLODE
FINALLY STARTING THE PHOTOPERIODS AND I HOPE MY TIMING IS GOOD FOR CHOPPING THE AUTOFLOWERS..........SEEDS PUT INTO THE SOIL ON JUNE 22ND.
RUNNING OUT OF ROOM IN THE 8X8 TENT SO I PUT ALL THE PHOTOPERIODS IN THE 5X5 WITH A TSW2000. SOME FAN LEAVES ARE BIGGER THAN MY HAND NOW.
SORRY TO EVERYONE WHO TRIES TALKING TO ME....I STILL CANT TALK TO ANYONE BECAUSE I TRIED CHANGING MY EMAIL ON HERE AND IT MESSED EVERYTHING UP. I CANT LIKE ANYTHING OR COMMENT ON ANYTHING. THE WORST IS I CANT JOIN CONTESTS
STRIVE NUTRIENTS IS THE BEST IVE EVER USED. A MUST TRY AND I BUY IT MYSELF. GOT A SAMPLE LAST YEAR AND ITS SO GOOD I BOUGHT MORE. ITS A 2 PART POWDER NUTRIENT THAT DISSOLVES IN MINUTES AND YOU MIX THE SAME STRENGTH OF THE 2 PART NUTRIENTS FROM WEEK 2 UNTIL THEY ARE FINISHED (BESIDES THE FLUSH), NO MORE BULLSHIT OF SWITCHING TO BLOOM FERTILIZER. THATS MY FAVORITE THING BESIDES THE RESULTS.
CHECK EM OUT AND BELIEVE EVERYTHING YOU READ BECAUSE ITS NO BULLSHIT, AWESOME FRIENDLY AND HONEST PEOPLE

Been another smooth week. A few of the plants are starting to show signs that they are moving towards to finish line. Seeing some swelling, pistils starting to brown, and some beautiful purples coming out in some of the buds. Been debating on giving them a dose of dry koolbloom, but I will probably just keep them running on the maxibloom until flush since they look pretty happy. It's hard to show this girls progress since shes in the far back corner, but shes stacking some nice golf ball size buds. I'm seeing some purple on some of the buds. Cant get in there to smell her either, but I bet yall wouldnt turn down a bud off her when shes readyπ€£

The little ones are developing well, unfortunately there are a few minor nutrient problems in the direction of Calmag with the Morello Cherries and also slight signs of this with the TerpyZ Punch. I counteracted this with a foliar spray. The pH value of the hydrosystem has unfortunately dropped a little to 5.5, which I have equalised with ph up from Plagron. The plants are currently getting light between 800-900 ppfd and as soon as the stretch starts, l'll increase this to 1000 ppfd. Both ladies are slowly starting to smell.

Hi everyone π
Welcome back in another week update!
Thank you all for this amazing support on this bananas journeyπππ
Uploading and updating each week content on daily bassis so please revisit this diary if week not over yet.
So far all going great. Girls looking very healthy and happy. Due to my short trip had to leave my πππ girls unsupervised for 3 days. Was stunned when opened my cabinet on the Dec 5th. Athena stretched like crazy. Good 3 inches. She better slow down as not much roof space left for her. May tie some taller branches to netting if necessary. Introducing blooming nutes for the first time this week on December 6th at smaller dosage and on the second watering as listed.
Week 8
Dec 4 - Dec 10
Dec 5
Leaves tucking
Dec 6
Heavier selective defoliation on both girls. Athena fully lolipopped and Xena at 75%. Watered with 8 ltr beetwen both with perfect runoofs PH 6.4. Girls were very thirsty π€€
Dec 7-8
Just enjoying how my girls developing. Frost has landed and they are start showing colours. All is looking great.
Dec 9
Second watering for this week 7 ltr beetwen both. Runoffs PH 6.4
Even with so much difrence in size of my πππ girls it seems that they are drinking my juice almost equally.
Dec 10
Applied selective defoliation and tied 3 tallest branches of Athena to netting to avoid any potential burns on these beautiful baby colas.
It's the end of the week!
Thank you all again for such a great support, all the likes, dm's, comments and follows ππππ
Stay tuned for coming week update πβοΈπ

Another 19cm vertical growth this week and she got a lot bushier.
She has started flowering at last.
For nutrients I'm using 15g of 20-20-20 powder mixed with 10L of water. Also added 4ml/L of both Cannazym and Terpinator. This brings it to around 1600ppm including ~300ppm for my clean water.

I have the light cranking at 80 percent intensity at this point and the buds are developing into some very nice frosty nugs.The tallest plant seems to be the most advanced and fan leaves have a heavy fade going.Iβll harvest these ladies at different dates.Also I added a combo of bud candy and Plagron green sensation for this weeks feeding to try and pack on some more weight.When I open the tent it smells absolutely amazing in there at this point.
