I am very satisfied with the Big Bazooka strain; it is not stressed by being transplanted into a larger pot, nor by using LST (Low-Stress Training) or main-lining techniques. It's important not to water it abundantly and to have fertile soil with proper drainage. Day 22. After LST, even though it was a bit stressed, I keep the ppm between 200-220 until it gives more nodes. Day 25 of vegetation is going well; you can see this because the soil in the pot is dry on the surface. We water more abundantly with 2 liters of water, keeping the ppm at 220 and pH at 6.2 PowerZyme-4ml Root Complex-4ml TNT Complex-6ml Day 28 3 liters of water with a pH of 6.3 and 240 ppm. PowerZyme-4ml Root Complex-3ml TNT Complex-10ml

Week 8 This week i ´ve been defoliating the cookies and stopped to give them nuts after some signs of stress on leaves, they are curling up and get burn out on their tips, this is most visible on pot 1 who´s appearing to be a sativa pheno! On the other hand Pot 2 who appears to be more indica pheno are showing more resistance to nuts! I Just been feeding them with ph water and have increase the distance for the ligths, I dont relate the burns on my leaves from that but with the temperatures on outside changing so drastic and the entire grow been heated and sealed (in order to save some money on energy) i only opened the windows to refresh the air two or tree times this week for a couple of hours generaly at 12 oclock to dont have my temps changing from 22 degres to 8 degres 😱, not the best conditions and not my easiest grow but what can i say? You can look them an judge... to me they are fucking Hero´s... They became thirsty, suffered from insufficient air flow, suffered slight burns for 24 hours of continuous light from the seed until now and still suffered from excessive fertilization but the ladies didn't fall off their high heels 🙌

All feeds with nutes use either a whole ratio or combination of "Veg Mix" and "Bloom Mix"concentrates DILUTED in water until a total ppm of add in is reached using a (Total Dissolved Solids)TDS Meter measured in PPM (parts per million). The "Veg Mix" concentrate will eventually be added in smaller ratios and "Bloom Mix" concentrate what will eventually replace the "Veg Mix" concentrate entirely with the ppm and ratios listed when I feed. Veg mix recipe is on week 3. Bloom Mix recipe is on week 5. Day 49 VPD is okay now - temps at 75F RH also now at 65% with ILVent at 50% = VPD of 1.04 - ppfd also same as yesterday mostly 480 to 490 around the ring with 510 and 520 in the center Took ph readings as well - 3 readings 6.43, 6.48, and 6.37 to avg 6.426 Which is good because she's starting to show signs of stress after the topping and defoliation from a couple days ago. The leaves are starting to curl at the tips and the bronze color stripping is happening again - however this time seems to be a slower progression so Im hoping that having the correct ph this time will help while she's re-routing her resources. I 'did notice also that the growth tips seem to be growing at a slower rate than before - I think she's at her limit in colas and the roots are having to find more space to spread, may even be too big for the 5 gallon pot. I have no plans to change her out just yet, but will monitor. Soil is drier today - so I will be watering tomorrow with de-chlorinated water at 6.4ph Day 50 VPD was good at 74/64 with the tent open while I feed that I left it open for a bit and took time in feeding and cleaning - after all that still good at 74F/61%RH/50%ILV ppfd was checked after water and setting back - same as yesterday as most of the newest growth is still coming from the new colas - most seem to be adjusting 1 at a time in each split but both are showing growth now on all cuts. Started feed by making new ph buffer solutions, calibrating/testing both meters. The have about a .15 variance between the two. Checked weight and made 1.5 gallons of feed. started at 228ppm added 450ppm veg and 150ppm bloom for a total of 833ppm feed/epsom salt - splashed h2o2 and ph'd to about 6.4- I fed via watering can and spray and fed the whole amount slowly since I was feeding until bottom drip and she took it all before starting to bottom drip. Afterwords I let her drain (about a quart came out) and checked ppm from runoff at 2500 (telling me she's okay but isnt eating as much as before her topping yet) ph is a mystery - I show 3 readings from top level of 6.62, 6.57, and 6.57 for an avg 6.586 but 2 separate readings from 2 meters (4 readings total) on the bottom runoff showed 5.3 and 5.6 then confirmed later. I expected a variance since the wood ash probably stuck to the top side of the soil - but I didnt expect that much of a difference. I will monitor but honestly dont know what I should do, if anything other than watch. made a video of the fan movements and runoff drip Day 51 What I am calling "stress burn" is progressing as expected. I am monitoring the ph from the top as I did before, but again, not much I can do other than over water, so I'll just watch for now and compare rate of spread until she fixes her resource pathways. It seemed to take about a week to clear up after the ash treatment last time, so I am on day 3 of 7 for now with no treatment. Looking for a spurt of new growth to show and then I'll know she's better. Adjusted the lights to accommodate a week 6 level of 500 to 600 ppfd - that means I can raise the lights to the top of the tent and increase power. So now set at 3 tick up and 37 inches from the soil or 26" from the plant top. Now her ppfd reads about 540 on both of the center colas and 500 to 510 on the surrounding ring. Adjusting lights meant I had to adjust the fans up to medium power and re-directed them to blow at the edges of the pot; made a video. VPD is steady, but still warmer than typical (only by a couple degrees nothing too much) 76F/61%RH/50%ILV for 1.15 kpa on room VPD Day 52 VPD is higher now that I have the lights to the top of my tent and the fans on the lights blowing down at the pot. I moved the IL Vent to the top sucking out with the motor and vent outside the tent now. I also opened two lower air holes with my heater set for fan on the opposite side of the tent than the vent. Currently, I am at a max of 1.2 room VPD and ranging down to 1.0 so I'll take it until it does something else. 74F/65% RH/75%ILV - I will monitor to ensure it's stable. ppfd is same as yesterday as there's little growth still. Spots are still progressing on the oldest leaves at the same rate as before - however the newest leaves are not showing signs yet, so I will continue to monitor. Day 53 ppfd was a little changed today, showing that there's growth coming back now. lowest on outer ring was 500 with most at 520 and 530 highest, center colas were tested at 540 and 560ppfd. VPD was stable as I watched it most of the day since I made changes yesterday. Temps were 74 to 76 and RH was 61% to 68%. ILV was set to 33% with the bottom heater on fan to draw in air. lockout continues on the oldest fan leaves at the last top nodes. New growth is already marked in a couple of spots. I have about 6 gallons of tap water burning off chlorine now and will use about 2 gallons to flush at 8ph. I plan to dunk this weekend with feed so this will allow time to dry out and hopefully reset the ph and lower my ppm readings at the lower part of the pot before then. Day 54 Took Control pics measured VPD and ppfd Lights are at the top of the tent and second tick from highest power level. Lights to soil is 37 inches and lights to plant is 12 inches shorter so 25 inches leaves to light. currently ranging 530 to 550 around the ring and 575/580 ppfd at center (after feed and replaced). Moving the lights (day 51) made the tent hotter so I changed my ILVent to suck out at the top and fresh air in at the bottom - I have been fighting to keep temps under 78 managed to hit 74 to 75 with the heater being set just to fan for the bottom air vents- I did also raise humidity to a setting of 65% a day before moving the lights, so Im hitting 61 to 68% between power cycles on the humidifier. Overall Tent VPD is 1.0 to 1.2 as max. Took controls for feed. Weight 16lbs 11oz. tested and calibrated 2 meters and took 4 ph readings of 6.55, 6.77, 6.53, 6.85 to avg 6.675. from top of soil (last runoff measured 5.6 and 5.3 on two meters) prepared 2 gallons of feed at 500 ppm over tap. (burned chlorine off overnight) starting ppm was 217 - added 75/25 veg/bloom ratio. ph balanced to 7.8 and 7.63 on separate meters (rinsed and retested to be sure got 7.79 and 7.63 again) I used 4 knitting needles in the soil about 3 inches from the plant center. Poured feed water over the needles until it pooled slightly on top of the soil, I then pulled the needle out a little to allow the water to drain into the holes better. I did this in 8 different spots. As soon as she started dripping water from the bottom I poured a little on the leaves and then moved the plant to another drip pan to finish pouring the rest over the top of the soil without dripping any over the sides. Took videos of the drip and waited 10 min before putting her on another clean drip pan and back in the tent. Runoff from second drip pan was measured twice at 5.8ph and 2410 ppm - and first pan 5.85 and 2670ppm (expected higher ppm since I moved perlite on the bottom with the needles) Defoliated the oldest leaves before lights out. Day 55 She mostly looks like she appreciated the clippings and ph balance from yesterday - slower progression of the lockout issue and largest new growth since topping day. So speaking of new growth, I plan to use LST in the next few days to set these colas in what will hopefully be their last bind around the ring. VPD is steady at 75F to 77F and RH is between 63 and 68%. My ILV have been set to 33% and the lower fan blowing rather than heat. top soil ph was measured with 3 readings, on a tested and calibrated meter. 6.47, 6.7, 7.12 to avg 6.763 (kinda wild in those readings so I double checked them all twice and got the same in each hole)

Hello. This is the end of week 6 and the beginning of week 7 of flowering. The plants are looking good. Most of them are showing their sativa side. But plant #3 is looking more like a hybrid. I can see the long THC gland stocks of a sativa but it's growing more bulky than a sativa. Plant #4 is growing big and tall, showing it's sativa side. Plant #5 is the 2nd best in bud size but smells better than plant #3. I see the neighbors big oak tree is starting to shade the greenhouse after 2 pm. It was 29* c as I was taking these pictures in there today. Yes... Plant #1 got a big drink right after I finished taking these pictures. Been busy doing, before winter chores, like, cleaning the chimney and washing the house cleaning up the yard. Putting away stuff.. getting things covered, Cleaning up the veggie garden. Been busy and missed last weeks report. Big year for acorns... just raining out of the oak trees. I can hear big bangs in my neighbors yards too, as the dropping acorns hit things. My driveway is sloped to the street... There must be 200 acorns along the street gutter as they roll down driveway. OK. Take care. Chuck.

Week 6, 2 weeks outside, first week was a blast, fantastic wheater good night temps. Second week was much colder. Daytime temps just tipping 20 degrees celcius in the sun. Nighttime was between 6 and 7 degrees. Pictures are plant 1 in the shed with transparent roof. Not a real serre, its more just a roof and some protection against most of the elements of nature. Video is plant 2, she's hardening because of the harsh nights. She didnt grow as much as plant 1, but looks healthy, goal number 1 at this moment. Better times are coming so all will settle. 🍀🍀🍀

Hello everyone and welcome to week 9 and day 57 for these two Fast Buds Strawberry Bananana Autos. These two have gone mad! Beyonce is 81cm tall and well into flower as you can see. Solange on the other hand was 118cm tall and had passed the light so I super cropped her two tallest colas a few days ago. She is now 98cm Fertigated 10l 4 days ago and 7.5l today. Day 60: Fertigated 10l Day 62: The plants are now too big and/or heavy with bud to move out of the tent to photograph, and so with thanks to @growbigorgohome who suggested it, I have got a selfie stick to do in-tent photography. It's not great but it's better than nothing! Hopefully the videos will show plenty of details. Anyway I am starting to routine again now, the plants haven't gone more than 3 days without feeding, and I should be back to every other day again now. These two girls are really amazing. Beyonce is way ahead in terms of bud development, but Solange vegged longer and stretched more she was so massive I had to super-crop two colas! Anyway they are really motoring along now, I think Beyonce will be ready 2 weeks before Solange. Despite it is only day 62 we are rapidly approaching the end game here.

Day 44 - Today it's time to say sayonara to the undergrowth as I clear away a lot of the fan leaves and make room to further shape the canopy. I took each of the 8 branches that I previously cuffed off to fan leaves, and tied them down into their final resting place - rounding out the final shape of the plant. Day 47 - Defoliation ✂️ - over the course of 3 days, this lady bushed out like woah - causing me to dive back in the the scissors. Ermahgerd! 😱 She showed me a ♥️!

Esta produciendo muy poca resina, no estoy seguro de porque. Tengo un poco de araña roja y pulgón en los cogollos más bajeros pero no hay demasiados y se están concentrando ahí.

7/14 12am MONDAY. THEY ARE STILL SLEEPING BUT I HAVE BEEN HAVING THE BEST RESULTS. will continue with aminos, mblue , enzyme. 3am ADDED TRIBBLES TO THE DOCTOR PROP, BIG BIG DAY, AND MAGNETIC FACES..... SHOULD INCREASE MY AMINOFUNUPTAKE. LOOK AT THIS!!!!!!! 🚨WHY DOES TMG POWDER WORK SO GOOD ON ME? from search """"AI Overview You're experiencing positive effects from TMG powder, which is likely due to its diverse roles in supporting crucial bodily functions. Here's a breakdown of the key reasons why TMG (trimethylglycine or betaine) might be working well for you: Methylation Support: TMG is a methyl donor, meaning it provides methyl groups (a carbon atom with three hydrogen atoms) that are vital for a process called methylation. Methylation is involved in numerous bodily functions, including DNA repair, gene expression regulation, detoxification, and the production of neurotransmitters (chemicals that influence mood and cognition). If your body's methylation process was inefficient before supplementing with TMG, the addition of these methyl groups could be enhancing many aspects of your health and well-being. Homocysteine Reduction: TMG helps convert homocysteine, an amino acid that can be damaging at high levels, into methionine. Elevated homocysteine is associated with an increased risk of heart disease, stroke, and other health issues. By supporting healthy homocysteine levels, TMG helps maintain cardiovascular health and blood vessel integrity. Liver Health: TMG plays a role in liver function and detoxification by aiding in fat processing and supporting the body's natural detoxification pathways. Research suggests that TMG may help protect the liver from alcohol damage and be beneficial for nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. Cognitive Function and Mood: TMG supports the production of neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine, which are crucial for mood regulation and mental clarity. Some research suggests TMG may enhance the effectiveness of antidepressants and help alleviate symptoms of depression and anxiety, potentially by lowering homocysteine levels. Cellular Health: TMG is an osmolyte, meaning it helps regulate cell volume and maintain fluid and chemical balance within cells. It also acts as an antioxidant, protecting cells from damage caused by oxidative stress. Athletic Performance: Some studies suggest that TMG may improve muscle strength, power, and endurance, potentially by influencing creatine synthesis and reducing fatigue. Important considerations While TMG offers potential benefits, research is still ongoing, and some studies have shown mixed results regarding certain benefits, particularly related to athletic performance. It's always recommended to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new supplement, including TMG, especially if you have existing medical conditions or are taking other medications. High doses of TMG may cause digestive issues in some individuals. In summary, TMG's positive effects are likely due to its ability to support essential methylation processes, help regulate homocysteine levels, promote liver health, and potentially contribute to cognitive function, mood, cellular health, and athletic performance. If you're experiencing positive results, it's a good indication that your body is benefiting from TMG's multifaceted actions. """""""" 7/ 14 1145PM STILL MONDAY. WATERING TODAY WITH THE SYSTEM AND TAMI INSTEAD OF ADVANCED NUTES/ FOR SUPPLEMTNS. TAMI SMELLS LIKE CLEAN FRESH CLAY SO NICE, SO ALL THE PLANTS SMELL LIKE THAT. ONE MORE TIME WITH TAMMY. 🚨 NO ENERGY SHOTS TODAY!!!! JUST COFFEE. ITS THE QUICK SORB AMINOS, NITRIC BOOST, METHELYENE BLUE, TMG POWDER, METHYL FOLATE PLUS, WOW!!! WHAT WORKS ON ME WORKS ON THE PLANTS, JUST ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!! 7/15 Tuesday 424am. All plants are doing great water today with the System and TAMI today, 1pm Tammy is a little bit strong even at a half a milliliter per liter with the exception of the Tyson 2.0 goats. These are just incredible. I can’t begin to describe how strong and how different these are from any other plant I’ve ever grown.🚨🚨🚨👍👍👍👍💥💥🌿 7/16 430am smoking GC Auto I trimmed yesterday, very nice. II love Autos for this. nice smoke right off the plant, no 2 weeks to dry and 4 weeks to cure, nice right away!!! Not perfect some chlorophyll, but bong filters that enough and a nine not too strong feeling. 7/17 330am they are all doing good. I felt it was time to try a higher wattage on the lights. I hope it’s not a mistake, but I have the cooling system worked up so it should help exit the hot air directly off of the driver on the light, they seem very strong and able to handle the extra light we’ll see.🚨🚨👍

118 CM! What-a-stretch!! Lol I forgot to give her week 2 ferts and gave her week 3 ones instead (removing Voodoo Juice, Tarantula and Piranha, adding B-52, Big Bud and Nirvana). No problem because she already had two portions of fungi and bacteria when I had problems with the timer some weeks ago. Well she’s getting bigger and bigger. I’m a Sativa lover, and this is definitely a big gift to me.

Today, day 23 was the last repotting. Girls went from 11.6L to a 20L pot. Now there in the right place. In fact, just 3/4 have beene repotting because I didn't have enough Lightmix :/ My order is late, and I'm not really happy with that 😡 I planned to top the girls on wednesday or thursday. It will depends on how they will recover. Actually, it's my first time with smartpots. If smartpots have a lot of advantages, repotting is not one of them ! I made a mistake : the plants were 60% dry, and abviously, it was not a good idea ! It should be clearly moist. Nextime I think I will water the girls 1 hour before repotting. I hope it will be ok and they will recover from this tough moment.... Will see in a few days 😰😨 Anyway, I have generously watered them right after repotting with no nutrient. Juste clear water with the right Ph. As they are in some brand new light-mix medium, I thought they have enough nutrient for a at least 2 or 3 days. D-25 : Everything is ok. Girls seems to have recover very well :) Anyway, I'll wait at least one more day before topping. The last Chocolate Haze (the one that was 5 days late), doesn't have 6 nodes yet and I would prefer to top each girls at the same time. D-26 : Repotting the last one and topping everybody. Fingers crossed for the next couple of days... I also feed the girls right after the top. During the topping process, the plants were reduced from 19cm to 12cm.

Hi all, Welcome to my 🍌💜👊 week update. Thank you so much for your all support on this bananas journey 💜💚💜💚 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 ✌️💚 Links https://2fast4buds.com/seeds/banana-purple-punch-auto https://plagron.com https://www.biobizz.com/ https://fishheadfarms.com/

Mazar has a unique design that has us in awe, this is definitely a rare looking plant with features that remind us of strains that grow in far away lands. Our only upset with this girl is the powdery mildew that has started to set in, this is disappointing at this stage because we prefer not to use any type of spray. We used tap water with a ph above 9 to see if that would help, regardless this is a sign that she may not be the best strain for outdoors in our climate. Epsom salts have been added to our rain barrel once a week and Mazar has had a few dustings of coffee grounds added to her soil bed. Either way we appreciate her beauty and hope she can stay free of the rot as the bud thickens and the cooler air sets in.
