10. Woche Sie gefällt mir soweit gut, auch wenn sie nicht Purplen sollte, finde ich die Pflanze sehr interessant von ihrer Wuchsarchitektur und Blütenentwicklung 😊

My first grow will be with an autoflower seed from Mephisto Genetics. The strain is Toof Decay. 😁 Planted seed on 06/08, sprouted on 06/12! I'll be documenting everything...including the mistakes. 😅

My medium starts to gather salt because of too much nutrients and it affects the plant, i washed it the last two waterings and I hope it’ll get better :)

Increased CO2 slightly to keep above 1200PPM. Also slightly adjusted A/C schedule to bring temps up to 78F-80F during lights on and 66F lights off. Turned humidity down slightly to keep it closer 50%. * Topped off reservoir to ~20-gallons. ** CalMag+ - 5ML per gallon ** Mills Nutrients Vitalize - 0.5ML per Gallon ** Mills Nutrients Basis A - 15ML per Gallon ** Mills Nutrients Basis B - 15ML per Gallon ** Mills Nutrients Start-R - 4ML per Gallon ** H2O2 - 10ML per gallon ** 1.25ML PHup per gallon Watering: 03:00AM-3:10AM ~0.33 gallons per pot 11:00AM-11:10AM ~0.33 gallons per pot 7:00PM-7:10PM ~0.33 gallons per pot Reservoir: * tested 9:30PM * 2.50 EC * 5.8 PH * 69.26F * ~20 gallons * Topped off to ~20-gallons Lights: * Gavita LEDs On 20-hours (8:00AM - 4:00AM) ** 8:00AM Lights On (100%) * Gavita LEDs Off 4-hours (4:00AM - 8:00AM) * UV Bars Off 24-hours Air control: 69F-75F (75F AVG) (Lights On) 66F (Lights Off) 45%-60% (59% AVG) humidity (Lights On) 60% RH (Lights Off) ~1274PPM CO2 (Lights On) ~680PPM CO2 (Lights Off) Day 42 - March 23, 2021 Yesterday evening modified CO2 and Temperature settings in the room. CO2 has consistently been between 1200-1300 ppm with temps ramping up to 81F during lots on today. (Using scheduler with A/C to gradually increase temps when lights first come on and decrease them last couple hours before lights off). Girls seem to be liking it. Can see signficant difference in growth since yesterday. Last week, before modifying resevoir to DTW config, I noticed what looked like could be Zinc / Iron deficiency mainly in F7 (maybe mag, not 100% sure). It was only impacting newest growth with yellowing in the leaves. Don't believe it has spread to new leaves, but as leaves get larger definitely looks more obvious. Continuing to monitor and watch for any further advancement of issue.

8-26 (Day 70)- Have the feeding corrected from last week now and everything has been pretty stable. Not had any real issues with the temps or RH, the dehumidifier is keeping things perfect. I have been checking the back left plant to see where the trichomes are and they are still all pretty much clear. That plant seems to be a bit ahead of the others, but will just continue to monitor and feed regularly (Around 4-5 gallons a day to the res). Monday will be switching to the full tilt instead of the bulky b. These girls are so sticky and sweet smelling. I am super excited for these girls to finish and see how I've done quality wise with my first grow and already looking forward to the next run and correcting some mistakes ive made this run. As always any tips and recommendations always welcome!

27 Oct / 64 days 12-12 / 93 days from cask. Here comes the "X"arvest day for the Coffee Creamer x 50 Dragons baby, everyone says harvest is a holiday and I'm sad and nervous about the process, but here I am all done and now it's like "the holiday comes to us too″ ^^ Yesterday, on the last day of the flush, the output numbers were 155ppm / 6.2 pH, so I consider the flush a success. As soon as I cut the scrogg net the baby fell to the sides, greeeease, final weight will definitely write after drying. About 10-14 days, as I dry the branches whole to retain a greater number of terpenes, I do the trimming before putting the cones in tins. ___________________________________ So I took the liberty of writing down the results ahaha As I get high all the time, those who have gotten high agree with me that there is a noticeable effect in the form of 'changes in the sense of time', there are specific lapses in time, and I sleep a lot, 14-15 hours a day. In the end I got 180g of selected, cut by American wills stone sheesh, a big jar of cut and popcorn (how much I didn't count) for further extraction of the isik (I'll do it today-tomorrow). In the end, I'm definitely happy with the result, as Fruit Gum x The Lemon Tree will definitely give more than 50g, which means I got more than 1k1 according to the grams per watt system. I'm on the sober time, already 28 days of cleanliness and peace of mind, but on Friday the picking is coming to an end and I've already krapalnul, dried and thrown the lowest and you know what I tell you? The smell is just unreal, even after drying it doesn't smell like freshly cut haulm, it smells like Twix and I'm not exaggerating, it's caramel biscuit chocolate.

Jan 24th - Unable to get data for this day. Jan 25th - Unable to get data for this day. Jan 26th - pH 6.4, PPM 1350, 2.7 EC, Temp 75f, Humidity 40% - Water Change! Keeping the higher pH right now, I lowered the CalMag by 10ml total, and I'm trying to get the VPD under control but I doubt I'll be able to in this closet setup. Next water change I'm going to lower the nutrients in hopes of getting less nutrient burn, and stopping this girl from growing any taller! She tops out at 33.5 inches on her tallest cola, and I have no more room to give it, the lights are as high as they can go. More so than I thought before tbh. Just going to have to run them lower and use more side lighting. Jan 27th - Unable to get data for this day. Jan 28th - Unable to get data for this day. Jan 29th - Unable to get data for this day. Jan 30th - pH 6.4, PPM 830, 1.7 EC, Temp 77f, Humidity 63% - Water Changed (3gal)! Still kept a higher pH, but I lowered the nutrients to a light feeding schedule according to the FloraSeries feed chart and as well as the amount of CalMag and Sweet Berry.

I’m thinking the girls need another week or two, getting very close but I do prefer indica effects so I’m waiting on that beautiful amber color yield might not be all there but quality is definitely showing 🔥💪 shoutout to 420 FASTBUDS for great genetics!

Hi all, Welcome to my🍌💜👊 week update Thank you so much for all support on this bananas journey. Much appreciate all your likes, follows and comments. 🙏💚❤️💜 Week 14 Jan 15- Jan 21 Flushing and preparation for harvest 😁 on Jan 15 feed girls for the last time with nutrients. It was reduced dose by 60% 5ltr no runoff. Following morning topped up with 6ltr of ph down and only fish shit. Runoffs PH 6.2. Second watering Jan 18 6tr and 7ltr on Jan 21. It was last watering. Week went very well. No white pistils hairs on Athena for a good while and barely few left on Xena. Many buds have different shapes and colours but all of them are equally hard as rocks, sticky and smelling so deliciously. This week trichomes development was just like I wish for. Just milky and amber in play Status on Jan 22. Mostly of buds 20-50% amber. It's just perfect for my needs🤤 On Jan 21 lights were on for the last time and girls will be harvested after 48 or 72h of darkness. Stay tuned for the final week update! 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/

The cold significantly stunted development. I cut it 20 days too early because I was afraid of botrytis spreading from other plants, but that was my mistake, as botrytis never reappeared on subsequent plants. 8 days drying with indirect wind and dark place. Small 3-liter vase, just a few grams, the crop still had more time to mature.
