Hello, Grow Diaries family! 🎉🍌 I’m beyond excited to share the harvest report for my incredible Red Banana Pudding! This journey has been nothing short of amazing, and I can’t wait to dive into the details. Let’s get into it! 🚀 🌿 The Harvest After a wonderful flowering period, it’s time to celebrate the fruits of our labor. The Red Banana Pudding has reached its peak, and I’m thrilled with the results! 🌈🍑 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. 😍 🌟 Harvesting Process • 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. ⏳✨ • 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. ✂️💪 Fun Fact: Did you know that Red Banana Pudding is renowned for its unique banana-like flavor with a hint of creaminess? It’s a true treat for the taste buds! 🍌🍰 🌿 Post-Harvest • 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. 🌬️💨 • 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! 🎉 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! 🍁 🌱 Looking Ahead The Red Banana Pudding has set the bar high, and I’m excited to see how it turns out after curing. This has been an incredible experience, and I’m grateful for the support and engagement from the Grow Diaries community! 💚 Sneak Peek: Stay tuned for upcoming content, including taste tests and smoke reports! You won’t want to miss out. 😉👀 🎥 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! 🌟🎥 Thank you for following along with this amazing journey. Your support means the world to me! 🌍💚 Happy growing and see you in the next update! ✨🌿

Beginning of week.. So for the leaves to get burned, they literally have to be touching the LED chip lol.. Just one leaf was touching, as you can see in the pic. Trichomes are beginning to form.. They arent really giving off any scent yet.. Even when you rub the trichomes and give a wiff.. Normally can get a hint of what the finished nugs will smell like.. Not yet on this girl tho.. Obviously, this isn't gonna be the greatest genetics.. I was just trying to make my own feminized seeds with 2 bag seeds and also trying to figure out how I can fill the entire grow space and use every square inch of it.. Shouldn't have let her veg for so long.. Maybe just a week less would've been perfect. But you live and you learn... The supercropping has hardened.. Now the branches are pretty much back to their original spots lol.. So that was pointless stress.. Ugh.. Again.. Live and learn lol.. Mid week.. I went ahead and relined the entire inside with new foil (shiny side to reflect) I know people hate on this.. But these lights arent strong enough to cause any damage lol.. Unless actually touching the leaves.. Which I figured out at the beginning of this week. I also was able to redo the lights.. They were wired inside the tent.. But ai cut some holes thru the top so that the light sockets are halfway in the grow box.. That gave me an extra 2 inches or so lol.. Not much but now the entire canopy is getting some light.. Took me forever and was pissing me off to the point I almost gave up.. But I got it done. Trichomes are forming.. Not much of a smell.. There is some.. And it stinks.. I guess like a skunk smell.. Or cat piss lol.. But I'm happy with my creation.. So far! Update on the smell... I was able to find a good bit of trichomes to rub and smell.. So fruity and delicious! Idk where I got the cat piss smell from lol.. So sticky! Yummmm! End of week.. Lookin good this week.. No issues.. Was able to raise the lights and happy with the way things are fitting in the grow box.. Not much to say.. She is beginning to stack nicely too.. Cant wait to see the end results! On to the next week!!!...

Le FF di @Fast_Buds sono velocissime!!! In una settimana sono cresciute molto più delle normali Autofiorenti, ieri ho effettuato il travaso finale nei vasi in tessuto da 11L con tutta la miscela Dogma Super Soil e da ora in avanti only water 💦 vediamo come si sviluppano prossimamente! Le macchie bianche sulle foglie sono macchie di Zeolite Pure 10 micrometri sempre di Dogma Organics!

This week I changed the whole tent. I switched over to a MarsHydro TS1000 and have it cranked up to 100%. The light came in and I immediately had to separate the controller from the light and fix the mounting hardware. But that led me to realize I can have a much more temperature controlled and consistent environment. This light is a cool running light. Shout out to the light sponsor MarsHydro for the opportunity to break it in and let her loose next grow!

Both NL now have a light Kalium/Potassium deficiency so I removed some solution, added water and Yara Kristalon Orange PH 5.8 EC 1550. Removed the partial Orion harvest from the drying tent and put it in a Grove Bag (check the updated harvest of Ori) Pictures were taken right before harvest on 08.12.23

Little plant is starting to get ready for its explosive vegetative growth stage 💚 love growing this plant makes me excited to try the Gorilla Cookies Auto by FastBuds next. Started to give very light nutrients with the Pro Mix HP, she seems to be responding well to the intake. Hoping the voodoo juice helps with root expansion. Have found my root development a little on the light side of my last couple grows so here’s to trying new nutrients and expanding the garage grow portfolio 😂💚🍁 Stay tuned for another amazing grow of the Strawberry Gorilla Auto by FastBuds 🏆 This is the way

Is drying atm 4 days now and is doing well Temp is higher than I'd like at 22c and too low at night 19 but it's still fairly wet. No bush whack smell. Nor do I think I'll get It RH needs to be lowered every 12 hrs or so for 30m She's hang drying behind my 100cm2 tent the grow room is blocked from sun light as best as I can. Cut nutrients the last 4 days and heavy water feeds with some enzymes and it riped up super nice. Got even more purple.

Blütetage 50 Es wurde Anfang dieser Blütewoche noch einmal mit Dünger wie angegeben gedüngt. Ab Morgen (17.02) wird für 7-14 Tage nur noch mit pH angepassten Wasser gegossen. Die Ladys sehen noch sehr Vital aus. Es gibt aber bereits ca. 30% milchige trichome in den größeren blüten. Ich bevorzuge allerdings eher 30% Bernstein farbene. Es riecht sehr Fruchtig im Zelt und die Ausbeute wird zwar nicht außergewöhnliche, aber ausreichend denke ich. ☺️

After 35 days of vegetation we send them into Flower. They get 2 hours less light every day until we reached the day/night-cycle 12/12 hours. we have noticed that they have already started their stretch. they grow 5-10 cm every day. We water them with bio grow for the first time.

The plant is just "keep on keeping on". Looks beautiful and is nearing the scrog. It is also nearing time for a second round of topping. I plan on keeping the Gold Leaf in veg for a while as the auto is running on 24, so trying to get close as possible to harvest for the auto before I flip the lights. Aiming for an xmas yield for the gold leaf. I also performed some super cropping this week. Wish i had take close up photos on the branches, it work like a charm. The plant growth really took off. In some of the photos you can see the branches are a bit twist and recovering from the super cropping.

This week I had to remove my red light (sad because red leds are the most efficient one in terms of pffd per wattage) the reason for that is bleaching of the tips. Scientists found out that cultivars start bleaching if u hit 600 umol/m2/s red light (just red photons and not every strain bleaches). Besides that I did nothing to them. From now on I will try to keep the temps low but with a pretty small day/night temp difference. Now preservation of terps and maturing are my points of interests. Some nice colours are getting through … that was supported by some nitrogen deficiency. This was Not on purpose but better than burning them with nutrients. (Nitrogen is required to produce chlorophyll, which is Green. If u reduce the nitrogen towards the end you can support other pigments to come through.)

16.2.25: I decided to check out the lower canopies of all plants to see if I need to get rid of any foliage. I did get rid of a few small branches and leaves. However, whilst I was doing this, I saw more garden pegs from my LST remaining. There were about 6 or more in Pink Mist alone. Additionally, on Watermelon, there were some left in, too. I'm so annoyed to see that because the plants are really stretching, and I could've potentially disrupted this by leaving the pegs in for all this time without realising it. 🤞 that I haven't compromised things too much. We'll see. I watered today with 2ltrs of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.3 containing the following nutrients; ♡ .8g Green Leaf Nutrients PK booster ♡ .5g Ecothrive Biosys I ordered quite a few things for the garden. I got Greenleaf Nutrients Sea K(elp) and Mega Crop Parts A+B. To go with their PK Booster I got last month. I'm excited to try it all together. Next run, maybe just using these. We'll see how it goes. 18.2.25: The plants are going crazy for water! Everything is getting used right up so fast! Today, I decided to add some more Black Strap Molasses to add some carbs and other micronutrients. I'll add the jar with the label in the photos section above. I watered a very small amount to each plant. What I put in: ♡ Black strap molasses 150g ♡ 2g Sea K(elp) Greenleaf nutrients. I dissolved everything in 4ltrs of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.4. 19.2.25: I received the majority of the garden purchases that I made. I'm still waiting for the Ecothrive Life Cycle. I wanted to top dress, but it's been delayed unfortunately. I am using my Greenleaf nutrients products which I bought on Amazon. I got the Mega Crop 2 part system Part A and Part B. I have the Sea K(elp), and the bud explosion PK booster. I really wanted to get some of their sweet candy asking read many positive reviews. Unfortunately, for me, this is unavailable to buy currently. So that's a little disappointing. I needed to do a good watering so when my nutes were delivered today, I got excited 🤗 I watered 2ltrs of dechlorinated water per plant, PH'd to 6.4, containing the following nutrients: ♡ 1g Mega Crop Part A ♡ 1g Mega Crop Part B ♡ .5g Sea K(elp). The plants drank this up within a few hours. I'm going to try and hold off on watering in hopes that my Ecothrive Life Cycle will arrive so I can top dress and water it in then. 20.2.25: My Ecothrive Life Cycle arrived yesterday, and the plants are ready for their top dress and a good watering in. I have some Biobizz Light Mix, Canna Coco,and perlite. I'm going to use this as a base to mix my amendments in. I'm going to fill my 5 gallon bucket with about 4.5 gallons of my top dress mix. I will distribute this across 6, 4-5 gallon pots. Then I will water in well with Greenleaf nutrients Mega Crop Parts A+B and Sea K(elp). I've made a crude attempt to video mixing my top dress. Don't listen to the audio. lol, my YouTube didn't stop playing whilst I recorded this 😂 So anyway, I added the following amendments to the above base mix of 4.5 gallons; ♡ 3 TBSP Ecothrive Life Cycle ♡ 3 TBSP Vitalink Bat Guano ♡ 3 TBSP Ecothrive Charge ♡ 1 TBSP RHS Mycorrhizal Fungi granules ♡ 6 TBSP Ground Cinnamon.
