one thing i liked was it started to get a little purple but that didnt really come through in the end. also i like the fast flowering. what i didnt like was that it truly was a bitch to grow, and if this were a bingo night i'd have crossed out nearly all the possible deficiencies and pest issues you can get. After being really happy with the purple punch genetics this one has been l bit of a disappointment really. i'd love to see more information strainspecifically to come with the package of seeds. like for instance if its a heavy feeder, if it likes the lights close or far away, and how long the flowereing period usually takes. Probably not growing this again anytime sooon though.

Day 42/56+: Wooooohooo these girls are doing great. The smells and look a in the room are hypnotic now. Seeing all of those fat, chunky heads bobbing around in the vortex that my Big Bertha fan pushes out is a joy. They are taking around 10L to get to a run off , every 3 days or so in the L.O.S FFT#1 is creating some nice long shaggy looking colas that smell nice and sickly sweet now. She is looking like she is ready to swell now too. hopefully the next 2 weeks will show the colas to be the chunks they want to be. she is a squat lady and would def have been better to have been left to grow taller. . In a very limited space/ box , trained more horizontal as she is now and you could have a very productive bonsai style grower. FFT#5 wow I love this girl. She is a full on show off now. She is pushing her terpines up my nose from just going above her now. If I venture to actually touch her buds , she becomes so excited that she doesnt want to let me go again. so tacky. she isnstartimgntomcplour her pistils little but is still looking fresh and bountiful. Her structure has been easy to work with in veg but is now so thick and woody that any bending her to my will would involve a team of us. lol FFT#7 Plods on with her domineering attitude to her space and is so productive now . her buds are not as long at this point as the #5 but are so many in number that her yield should be a good one. I would say she is probably going to go for longer than the other 2 testers before finishing but she is certainly worth the wait. Her smell is so fruit sweet now too. she has the biggest stem popping out of the soil and is a very thick structures girl. I would love to see her grown outside in a natural environment and think she would be a monstrous outdoor plant. Definitely the quickest grower for height even though she is tied down tighter than an insane monk. I will definately be producing more of these girls to play with their development potential and feel that you would have to make sure that you have the room for one of these to get her best out of her. so far these new strains are a winner for me. I am looking forward to going through the rest of the strains now. I plan 3 more in the next run so will scour the current tester grows for the likely victims to do next. These are winners already

11/6 Monday I gave them each a gallon of water today late bloom supplements, and the bloom tastic I’m gonna put the other ones in the flower soon so these I’m gonna keep going. The Tricom are all mostly clear so I like to go a little longer. We’ll see how much I can get out of these. The other clones going are doing really well train those today. I have three more clones. I’ll be putting into flower today. 11/7 I turned the light on the light flowering ones from 1:20 to 111. I’m trying to get the temperatures a little lower than the extra light isn’t gonna help. I just have trouble keeping the room cool. I’ll put the other three clones into flower this week and then I have three additional clones from those clones I’m going to put into flower next month, I love taking cuttings and doing that. I’m lucky that I did it because I killed all of my seeds early this year. It’s nice to have back up plants. Afternoon. I ended up having to give them another gallon of water split between the two of them. I did very light supplements cause I just did it, but she was completely dry and they needed all that I was kind of surprised. 11/8 Wednesday she’s been pretty uneventful since watering yesterday. I’m just trying to get her colas nice and big I have three others that are ready to go into flower. I still haven’t taken care of space panda. I just can’t manage more than four or five plants at once so these two are going to nice I’ve already smoked some of it and it’s great and it’s not even cured the buds are really dense that new nutrient really made a big difference I want to go at least as big as I can with the colas. I don’t grow for the trichome color I just do it as long as I can to see how much I can get 11/9 I did some unexpected trimming. I got an ounce and a half wet and there’s stems in there so it’ll probably I don’t know little less than a half. It’s pretty dense. Turned a wattage on the light down from 118 to 103 about 100 is all she need from here on now since I did a lot of trimming today 11/10 trimming the leaves and some buds off and lowering the lights has helped a lot she’s starting to really thicken up on the top. They’re very dense and getting more dense. They seem to be taking up water really well so these last three weeks should see some pretty significant growth. They’re looking great, I have three more to turn to flower and then three more in veg I’m gonna have blackjack growing for a long time. I started this plant back in March and I’ve been able to keep it going and get eight plants from it so from one plant made up for all the other plants and seeds that died that I lost . 11/10 pm I set the timer on the other three clones to 1212 so they will start flowering so I’ll have flowers from these in two months. I’m gonna trim up all the small branches on this one. Maybe I can fit more in there 11/11 I watered them two days in a row earlier in the week so they were still pretty dry today. Not a lot of water uptake the other clones. I just flipped to 1212 I’ll probably start a new diary just with those cause this one’s too hard to do with a different clones in different phases 11/12 Sunday she was very thirsty. I gave them each a gallon of water with all the nutrients and supplements. Keep the light at 100 W and she’s good.

Day 84 (day 21 flower): Major defoliation on both the Brain Cake and Bakers Delight. Both the ladies are getting sticky! The Brain Cake smell is pretty neutral but the Bakers Delight has a bit more smell and reminds me a bit of a Tangine Kush (Rare Dankness) I grew a while back. Changed the water reservoirs to the flower bloom booster nutrients (Plagron green sensation). Day 86 (day 23 flower): They seem to be coming along nicely, a tiny bit of progression in the buds since defoliating. The Bakers Delight is more sensitive to nutrients so added some tap water to dilute the nutrients a little (TDS 510 -> 470). Day 87 (day 24 flower): Both doing well. The Bakers Delight seems to be reacting positively to the slightly lower nutrient concentration. Both water reservoirs between 5.7 and 6.3 at all times and around 20-21c. Day 89 (day 26 flower): Everything seems fine, water stats are stable, for as far as I can see no deficiencies or excess, bud are growing in height and seem to be producing nice amounts of thc giving the buds a slightly grey color. Some of the pistils are turning orange very early, might be due to stress the past weeks, or the new full spectrum light or just genetics. The Bakers Delight currently has a stronger smell, also a more peppery background. The Brain Cake has a neutral fresh 'plant material' green hash smell, nothing special going on yet with her odor. --> Slowly been hanging the light closer, at 50cm from the Brain Cake and 60cm from the Bakers Delight, will slowly lower till its approx 40cm from the Brain Cake and 50cm from the Bakers Delight (because the BD is 10 cm shorter...). Hopefully this will get the top buds to get even bigger and stronger and hopefully aswell the bottom buds will pull some weight and most importantly the bottom buds need to ripen as fast as the top buds which is usually the main issue when they dont get enough light... Curious to see how it plays out. Might need another minor defoliation around day 40-44.

Added 2 videos on preparing a nutrient solution and pH balancing the solution. This week saw aggressive topping (mid week 4) and some serious leaf damage. Not sure if the leaf damage is from the topping, nutrients, etc. I did a flush and solution swap, cleaned the air stone and inside of the jar etc. Built the trellis and started training. I'll cut away whatever trellis doesn't end up getting used once flowering starts. Creepy Don Santa is watching this grow closely. That cat of his is trouble.

Used bud clips to spread the branches out after topping to the 4th node. Doing well and super vigorous. Did some minor defoliation and set up a blumat this week.

📅 Week 14 | Days 99–105 📅 🍏🍌 Late Flowering Stage – Apples & Bananas 🍏🍌 Day 105 🌞 – Apples & Bananas (Final Curtain Call) 🔸 Visuals: Apples & Bananas is closing the show with pure elegance. The buds are thick, dense, and solid as stones – the kind that make your trimming scissors sigh in advance. Each cola is stacked beautifully from top to bottom, wearing a frosty coat of trichomes that sparkle like morning frost on autumn fruit. The pistils have curled in and taken on a rich amber-orange, giving her a warm, ripe glow. Resin production is full throttle, and the sugar leaves are sticky enough to glue your gloves together. 🔸 Climate: The temperature couldn't be worse...towards the end, of course, it will be almost 30 degrees for the next few days. Humidity is steady between 50–58%, just right to keep those chunky buds safe from mold. VPD stays at 1.4 – 1.6, encouraging a stress-free final swell. 🔸 Nutrients & Water: She’s had her last nutrient boost, and is now on a clean water flush (pH-adjusted, EC ~0.5). Water uptake has slowed, letting her pull the final goodness from her leaves into those already weighty flowers. 📈 Current Conditions 🌡️🔆 = 28°C 🌡️🌜 = 21°C 💨 VPD = 1.4 💨 RH = 55% 🔦 PPFD = 900 µmol (12/12) 🔦⌚ DLI = ~38 🛠️ Setup (unchanged) 💡 2 × Sanlight Evo 4-120 @ 90% ⛺ 120 × 120 × 180 cm 🍯 18 L pot 🌱 Bio-Bizz Light Mix 💊 Advanced Nutrients 💧 Tap water (EC 0.5)

Good day, friends!! ¯_( ͠° ͟ل͜ ͡°)_/¯ I am finishing the grow report. _( ͡☉ ͜ʖ ͡☉)_/¯ ( ͡♥️ ͜ʖ ͡♥️) This time I could not devote much time to the plant due to some problems. But my plant looks great. I can say that this is a very strong genetics and does not react to stress at all. _( ͡⟃ ͜ʖ ⟄)_/¯ Please check the video I made directly in my tent 乁( ⁰͡ Ĺ̯ ⁰͡ ) ㄏ ¯_( ͠° ͟ل͜ ͡°)_/¯ due to my absence, the plant lived outside for 6 days, when I returned, I did not notice any health problems. ( the weather was between 5- 14C ) The plant is not whimsical to fertilizers. There was a significant increase in flowers after the addition of PK and bloom boost added. The smell is more sweet and fruity. Please check the pictures I made this week. Please check the video I made directly in my tent good luck to everyone! ヽ༼ ຈل͜ຈ༼ ▀̿̿Ĺ̯̿̿▀̿ ̿༽Ɵ͆ل͜Ɵ͆ ༽ノ
