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. 😉👀

What’s up guys? So.. entering week 8!!
What was a dream is now entering in the final stage, from now on only plain water. I reckon I still have about 2 weeks to harvest so I’ve started to feed only water since last friday
The lady’s are all going great, still fatting up and they’re looking good and healthy
The smell is kinda strong in all of them but the critical + 2.0 is definitely the winner. Smells really citric, and it’s pretty intense
The development of trichomes is more evident every day too
I’ve also added a new light that I won in a giveaway (lucky bastard) so let’s hope that will help in this final stretch 😎
I’m thinking I could get around 50/60g per plant, what do you guys think?
Cheers everyone!!

So far, so good! Stretching is almost done I hope. They are starting to stack on the buds.
Still seeing discolouration on the one plant. I’m was going to go full strength. But I think my problem is nutrient lockout from overfeeding. So I did a plain water on day 69.

The first video was taken 2 days after the lollipopping/defoliation day, the rest on the last day of week 6.
Towards the end of week 6, the ladies showed a few symptoms of light stress, which is why I increased the distance to the lamp to 45 cm and since then things have been running optimally again.
However, I think I will continue to veg for another 1-2 weeks and only then switch to 12/12.

Das erste Video, wurde 2 Tage nach dem Lollipopping/Defoliation Tag aufgenommen, der Rest am letzten Tag von Woche 6.
Gegen Ende der Woche 6 hatten die Ladys ein paar Symptome von Lichtstress gezeigt, weswegen ich den Abstand zur Lampe nun auf 45 cm erhöht habe und seitdem läufts auch wieder optimal.
Ich denke, ich werde jedoch noch 1–2 Wochen weiter Vegen und erst dann auf 12/12 wechseln.

Day 36: Girls looking pretty happy. Still some discoloration going on. Doesn't look to be spreading though.
Day 37: Ok, the girls obviously were not happy this morning. I watered with quite a good amount of runoff and measure the PPM at 3200!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm surprised they are still alive! Had to make a quick run to get some water for a flush as I only have 5 gallons worth. Ran 2 gallons through each of them at a ph of 6.4 around 9:30 this morning. It's now 5pm and they have pulled through great. These OG Kush are extremely resilient.
Day 38: The girls look way better today after flushing yesterday. Two of the pots were almost completely dry already. Went ahead and fed at 500ppm with runoff.
Day 39: I think it's dialed in now. They are looking amazing and still stretching pretty good. Went ahead and pulled off a handful of leaves between the 5 of em.
Day 40: Did a little more defoliation and opened them up a bit. I am super worried about getting any type of mold or any issues in particular for this first round. One of the girls needs a touch more but ran out of time. Girls are looking super healthy! 💪
Day 41: They are looking super awesome. Got the runoff dialed in. 750 going in and roughly 800 coming out. May up it in a week or so.
Day 42: Nothing new to update. Girls still looking amazing. I think the stretch may be slowing just a tad.

This was a beautiful week. Massive THC production my trichromes are covering the white widow plant in crystals. Its an icy plant with its sunscreen on. Looking absolutely gorgeous. I finished defoliation. Removed most all of the fan leaves so the plants can focus on bud production and amp up those clusters. The blueberry plant is starting to fruit up as well. It will end up going an extra week so its production is right on point. The white widow plant is just some crazy good genetics. Of my 7 new nursery plants the two white widows that I have are head and shoulders above the rest of the plants. I am excited to see what the 12/12 from seed does for them with our new super soil setup.
The plants have received their full doses of flower food and flower finisher. They are going to ride out the week on just water because they started to burn with the influx of the flower finisher. It seems to absorb more potently than the regular flower food does. I will does the plants some of the flower finisher food about halfway through the next week so as not to burn the plants. After that we will flush the soil with just water for the remainder of the grow so as not to have any extra nutrients flooding the plant before harvest.

Hello. This the end of the 1st week and the start of the 2nd week of flowering.
Just a fast entry... I'm starting harvesting of the front 1/2 of this greenhouse tomorrow.
So, I'm getting ready for that. These plants have still got 6 or 7 weeks of flowering to go still.
These plant will go in the front of the greenhouse when I'm finished with the harvest in there.
Did a stock rub test of these plants and the smell reminded me of the good old days of buying land race pot.
It smelled like The Columbian sativa from the 1970's... mmm wonderful.
OK. Have Fun.
Chuck.

Week 3 Flower
After 21 days she's no longer stretching, but now concentrating on her flowers. She's already starting to show trichomes later on in the week too.
Her base nutrients were gradually changed to the above, at a 1:2:3 G:M:B ratio. Now she's finished her stretch, silicon was decreased slightly and will be stopped by day 28. A few leaves were plucked here and there, to stop a few tops from being shaded.
I'm happy with her health and growth in this early stage of flower. Now I'm looking forward to seeing her bulk up and also what smells she gives off.
I added a little slo mo video on the end too 😉
Thanks for following and happy growing! 🐺

I wasn’t expecting these to stretch as much as they did, but they seem to come to a halt and are now focusing on bud sites. The Diamond OG has larger tops with smaller popcorn sized coming up the stem and started to frost later than the Cherry Gum. The Cherry Gum has smaller tops with more buds up the whole stalk and started frosting up right after the switch to flower.

This week has produced some decent growth, and I plan to begin some light LST on Blackberry Moonrocks here soon.
The plant has taken very well to being topped, especially considering the short bushy structure of the plant.
Here is what I did this week.
16.7.25:
I watered with 2ltrs of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.6 containing;
💜 2ml Ecothrive Trace
💜 1/4 TSP Ecothrive Biosys
PH: 6.6
PPM: 340
19.7.25:
I watered with 1.5L of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.5 containing:
💜 1ml Ecothrive Trace
PH: 6.5
PPM: 350
Thanks for checking in this week, and hanging out 💚 ✌️ 🍃 😊 🌱
