Hello, Grow Diaries family! ๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŒ Iโ€™m beyond excited to share the harvest report for my incredible Red Banana Pudding! This journey has been nothing short of amazing, and I canโ€™t wait to dive into the details. Letโ€™s get into it! ๐Ÿš€ ๐ŸŒฟ The Harvest After a wonderful flowering period, itโ€™s time to celebrate the fruits of our labor. The Red Banana Pudding has reached its peak, and Iโ€™m thrilled with the results! ๐ŸŒˆ๐Ÿ‘ Visuals: The buds have developed beautifully, showcasing an array of stunning colors and a perfect density. The aroma is incredibly sweet and fruity, promising a delightful smoke. ๐Ÿ˜ ๐ŸŒŸ Harvesting Process โ€ข Timing: Harvested at the perfect moment to ensure maximum flavor and potency. The trichomes were checked and showed an ideal mix of cloudy and amber for peak effects. โณโœจ โ€ข Technique: I followed a meticulous process, ensuring each branch was trimmed with care. The process was smooth, and the final product is a testament to the love and effort put into this grow. โœ‚๏ธ๐Ÿ’ช Fun Fact: Did you know that Red Banana Pudding is renowned for its unique banana-like flavor with a hint of creaminess? Itโ€™s a true treat for the taste buds! ๐ŸŒ๐Ÿฐ ๐ŸŒฟ Post-Harvest โ€ข Curing: After trimming, the buds were carefully hung to dry in a controlled environment, maintaining optimal humidity and temperature. The curing process will enhance the flavor and potency, making for a truly exceptional smoke. ๐ŸŒฌ๏ธ๐Ÿ’จ โ€ข Batches: The buds are being sorted into batches to ensure even curing and to preserve the quality of each nugget. The anticipation is building as we wait for this next phase! ๐ŸŽ‰ Pro Tip: Proper curing can significantly impact the final taste and smoothness of your buds. Make sure to store them in airtight jars and burp them regularly! ๐Ÿ ๐ŸŒฑ Looking Ahead The Red Banana Pudding has set the bar high, and Iโ€™m excited to see how it turns out after curing. This has been an incredible experience, and Iโ€™m grateful for the support and engagement from the Grow Diaries community! ๐Ÿ’š Sneak Peek: Stay tuned for upcoming content, including taste tests and smoke reports! You wonโ€™t want to miss out. ๐Ÿ˜‰๐Ÿ‘€ ๐ŸŽฅ Catch the Full Journey For a detailed look at the entire grow process, including the harvest, be sure to check out my YouTube channel, where I share in-depth updates and tips. Dive into the full experience and see how it all came together! ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŽฅ Thank you for following along with this amazing journey.

Week 11 for 9lb Hammer F2, Still on my list of least favourites in my garden ๐Ÿ˜‚ They probably get the least attention in the garden too, they both got quite burnt from the sun this week compared to the rest, so not too heat resistant that's for sure. ๐Ÿ˜

Hello Folks !! The penultimate week just ends today, the largest wind leaves are already turning yellow. Today is the last day she gets HydroMix and PK 13/14. I can't wait to taste it, you can easily tell by the smell what DP took the name Orange Punch from. In addition to the orange, there is an intense skunk scent :D :D :D Thank you for all comments and likes. I love you all, You Lovely Girls Growers ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿ’ช

First week of flower is over and the stretch is on. Already started crushing and bending some branches on the taller plants to keep them as short as possible. They are really starting to fill out and the sour sorbet was fast to start popping pistils. I started some defoliation and cleaned up a few of the bottom branches. They need some more work over the next few days. I started them on a little maxibloom. I will increase it as I lower the maxigro over the next couple weeks. No water change this week and the ph is holding steady with no adjustments. Nutrients pumping 24 hours a day. Should see some nice fuzzy tops developing by the end of next week. I got some clones rooting from all but the twisted helix. They will be getting dusted with sugar cane pollen.

Start week 7 of flower. No matter how much calcium ill give her with ph 6.2 she wants more. Never grow something like that before. Still, looking very good with lot of trichomes. Day 96. Took good pictures, one of them is the lowest bud on plant. Day 97. Took a cut to check the bud if everything ok.

Harvest day 68 since time switch to 12 / 12 h Hey guys :-) Finally it's time ๐Ÿ’š The lady is done the large leaves have been removed and hung upside down to dry in the dark drying room. You can now stay there for 13-15 days at a temperature of 18-20 degrees and 55-62% humidity. After 13-15 days it is neatly trimmed by hand and placed in jars with boveda packs 62. After 4 weeks Boveda 58% come in and are ready for testing ;-). After everything has been cut cleanly, the last update comes with the smoke report and the finished pictures. Let's get to the plant ๐Ÿ’š. First of all I would like to compliment Green House for this genetics. Unfortunately, the rating system at Growdiaries is a bit strange because I have to give the stars before the Smoke Report and in the end it might have led to more stars in terms of taste. Unfortunately, this phenotype is nothing special, which is very annoying given the price :-( The smell is ok, but nothing great, but the high is good, which is less important to me. Have fun and stay healthy ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ โ€˜Powered by GreenHouse Feedingโ€™ Copy the link for 10% off all Nutrients ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ http://shop.greenhousefeeding.com/ affiliate/madelngermany_passiongrower/ ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ Water ๐Ÿ’ง ๐Ÿ’ง๐Ÿ’ง Osmosis water mixed with Cal/Mag (24 hours stale that the chlorine evaporates) to 290 ppm and Ph with Ph- to 5.8 - 6.4 MadeInGermany

I would give this strain an average rating. Nothing great nor bad. I have had both better and worse strains.

22 Enero(F55): Solo queda una semana para terminar el cultivo, en estos รบltimos dรญas se estรก usando Fade de Athena Nutrients, para ayudar con la maduraciรณn y mejorar sabores y olores. La luz de los LED se bajรณ a un 50% y la temperatura del agua de riego tambiรฉn se disminuyรณ. Los olores estรกn demasiado potentes, tuve que poner filtro de carbono. Los รบltimos 4 dรญas se regarรก solo con agua de osmosis + Cleanse.

d.71. had trouble uploading video, so i uploaded some screenshots from the video. d.72 shes looking better after the dose of orgatrex i gave her yesterday. d.73 buds getting bigger ๐ŸŒž d.76 i little bit of light bleach, burnt tips due to me readding the tabs and not being too gentle, so i might have broken a few roots in the process, thinking about maybe breaking the taps down to pieces next time ill be in the same situation with better timing, comparing to me re-adding more tabs too late. also im getting a ac infinity tent down the road. been having high humidity due to winter weather comming in

It's been fun to see the 2 different pheno's develop of this strain, but now the Indica dominant one isn't going up anymore. I hope in the stretch phase she catches up with the rest. Switched to 12/12 on the 10th of november

Week 3 of flower complete and an interesting week to re-count. Let's jump right in.... Day 37 - I feel like I should be reporting more the fact is the Candy Kush is happy and very healthy and notch to do but keep the environment steady and stay out of her way. So that's what I did. Day 38 - on this day I watered my lovely lady. She's adapted so well to the LST and just took off. She is the Candy of my eye. I was preparing to go to Vancouver for surgery so I gave a healthy top/bottom watering to cover for my time away. Day 39 - This day was travel day so before we left I checked environment and raised my light to 20" to allow room to grow. She grows an inch to 1.5" a day during stretch. And we're off. Day 40 - surgery day Day 41 - travel day Day 42 - after sleeping in my own bed I got up to water this morning. After 3 days she was just starting to drop her leaves. After watering she perked right back up again. I feel like my timing was good and suffered no issues. I also did some defoliation to clean up the bottom skirt. Day 43 - Today all is good. Environment is spot on, and she's a happy girl. Took off a few LG fan leaves blocking sites that cannot be tucked. So all in all a relatively easy week and a simple one for the Cabbage Farm. Thanks for checking in, I appreciate all your comments, likes, and feedback. Cheers ๐ŸŒฒ๐ŸŒฌ๏ธ till next week.

- Day 71 I increased the height from the lamp a bit further trying to get about 600-700 ppfd across the canopy, just to help her finish and prevent trichomes from degrading into CBD too fast. Hopefully She will be ready to cut down this week. Day 72 Still seeing a lot of clear trichomes, think we gonna be waiting for a while still. ๐Ÿ˜… There's quite a few white pistils node still as well, which makes me believe she is still not done swelling.

What a week! the weather has not been very gracious to us. It has been pretty hot all day and humid at night. The majority of the day has the perfect setting but when the sun is at its peak it definitely puts a tool on the girlies. :'( We got a bigger fan to circulate air more but well have to see how that goes... Hoping for rain and some extra clouds soon!

This concludes the first grow and experiment with Sonnenerde Bio Hanferde Living Soil. And I'm very happy with how it went. She didn't get any PK Booster ACT, like Lemon Pie Auto (growing in parallel), but her trichome production and aroma nevertheless was impressive. She aged absolutely beautifully, showing all kinds of lovely fall/autumn-colors on top of the dark purple she wore anyway. Growing her was fun, and I'm looking forward to growing her again sometime, still got 2 seeds remaining.

Day 78 Update: Start of week 12! Watered plant with almost a gallon of pH balanced water until runoff. 4 days left of flushing on Plant #2. Going to play it day by day till harvest, depending on how this week's plans unfold. Day 82 Update: Harvesting Plant #2 today. I will update the harvest part of the diary once I place these buds in jars. See you in a few days!
