I had to harvest my Blue Dream plant early due to some larger mold spots I found on the buds. To prevent the mold from spreading to my other plants, I acted quickly and made the cut. Unfortunately, this meant I couldn't give her a proper flush. Despite the abrupt end, the aroma of the buds is fantastic, and I'm optimistic about the taste. During trimming, the scissors became sticky with resin, which is a good sign of potency. I carefully harvested bud by bud to ensure I didn't miss any mold-affected areas. Unfortunately, the main bud had the worst mold spot, so I had to take it apart. It's puzzling since they were never outside during rain and only had to contend with morning dew. Overall, I'm pleased with this grow and feel humble. It was an incredible journey filled with challenges and triumphs. I'm looking forward to enjoying the fruits of my labor and learning from the experience. Thank you to all my growmies for following along and being part of this learning experience. Your support means a lot. Stay tuned to see how my remaining two trained ladies turn out. One love, one community. โค๏ธ Harvest Report: Blue Dream (Update 09.08.) After 9 days of drying, I brought the Blue Dream buds into my apartment for the final trim before jarring. The initial yield was 40 grams, but during my last inspection, I discovered more mold spots, this time buried deep within the buds. Unfortunately, all the larger colas were affected, forcing me to take the buds almost completely apart. In the end, I managed to salvage 21 grams of pure, healthy buds without any mildew. I also set aside 6 grams of โ€œquarantineโ€ buds, which Iโ€™ll dry separately. Sadly, I lost 13 grams to mildewโ€”a tough blow, but one of the harsh realities of outdoor growing. Itโ€™s disheartening, especially since three other friends experienced similar losses this season. Honestly, Iโ€™m not sure what I could have done differently, aside from discarding the plant earlier. But even with these setbacks, if the cured buds taste as good as they smell, Iโ€™ll still consider this grow a success. The genetics from Fastbuds proved to be solid, and I recognize that the challenges I faced were largely due to environmental factors and my own decisions. This was a learning experience, and despite the issues, I'm happy with what I've achieved.

08/21/24. Going into week 8 flower Welcome back to hell. Just kidding.. kinda.. Day 57 out of the 71 stated. This girls definitely going the whole way, if not more. Sheโ€™s trying to make up for time that was taken from her. With the way sheโ€™s filling out now, Iโ€™m like damn. What would she have been like had we not hit a huge long bump in the road?? Iโ€™m shocked at what sheโ€™s even doing honestly. Big ups to Pablita. ๐Ÿ‘Š I guess this diary can just be a testament to this strain being resilient af. Also, hopefully it can serve as an example that you can bring a plant back from near death. Anyhow, giving her plain water currently as I think thereโ€™s still some build up in her soil. I tried feeding her a bit and noticed immediate tip burns. Going do water again next time as well and then a VERY light feeding that time after and see the happenings. Iโ€™m just trying to take it as slow and easy as possible with her. With progress .. donโ€™t wanna throw everything back to shit. Sheโ€™s thirsty every other day. Drinks almost a gallon, and get about 10% run off. Guess thatโ€™ll be all for now. โœŒ๏ธ

All plants are showing exemplary vigor, evidenced by their vibrant green color and the rapid upward orientation of new tops toward the light immediately following the procedures. The Bruce Banners are responding perfectly to topping and LST, maintaining strong leaf turgor and dynamically expanding their lateral branching in the 25L pots.

4/15/25 Things are progressing nicely. Some plants dont seem to be doing too much but 3 of them or so that are really standing out. Im curious if some of these are going to be longer flowering time than anticipated with the very obvious sativa dominant plants.

This bitch hermed on me. 2nd one this grow. I didn't want to kill it so I separated it from the other plants in it's own tent. Running it on a 5 gallon reservoir. Going to pick as many bananas off as I can and pick out the seeds and stems when I smoke it. Just like the old days

Pulled the orange cookie today and couldnโ€™t be happier, the yield is massive, the buds are dense, fruity sweet , sticky and pungent. This plant is prolly my best so far thanks to Dutchfem for another awesome strain . If youโ€™re looking for something special give this strain a try . Iโ€™ve smoked a bit of this already and itโ€™s Girl Scout cookies all over then just like a pallet cleanser of citrus freshness that keeps you coming back fir more .

- A couple of branches have snapped due to LSTing. Newbie here, researched and found out branches that were not completely snapped could be saved - This led me to discover bending branches until they "kink" can actually be used as a type of LST - 5th seed ended up straightening out and grew normally. Happy I did not throw it out. Very resilient ******************************************************************************************************* First signs of flowering during this week

It's hard to believe that this girl is about 7 to 10 days behind the skittles and banner. She is now growing taller than the rest in the tent. This lady is gonna be huge. The training has paid off and I've managed to a nice even canopy out of her. Real happy with this girl, by far one of my favourite strains and I can't wait to taste.

DAY 1 The seed is in the cup. DAY 2 We have a little tale. I can't believe how fast is happening while submerged in water cup, from now on ill use this method only ๐ŸคฃI have moved the seedling directly in to the coco. This will be it's first and final pot only 2 liters 70/30 coco/perlite. I'm still not that skillful to try with 1L or less pot, but micro growing looks fun for me. It's already day 3 and I can see the sprout. The boys from Fast Buds and their seeds are no joke. I chose this strain becose is basically the shortest in fast buds collection. The general idea for this run is to be quick. 75 days at its best and longest. I don't plan on fimming or topping the plant. Generally I don't plan even to train it, the only think I want from.this run is to to see how quick it can go in coco with athena and how quickly it will flower. we have a real seedling over here still hiding in the shell, but this one looks great in his little 2L pot. DAY 4 RH 70% PPFD 180 Room Temp: 27C the shell fell off and now my little Papaya is getting direct hit by the grow light. DAY 5 RH 70% PPFD 180 Room Temp: 27C EC 240 PPFD 220 My small papaya is doin grate. I started to add a little fertilizer in the water just to keep the cube charged a little bit. It's time to feed a little bit light so now the PPFD is around 200-220 and it will stay like that probably until veg. DAY 6 Room temperature 27-29 C RH 60-70% EC 1.0 PPFD 220 EC 1.0 So far my favorite plant this run. I'm really excited to see my micro run if it is successful. It will need a lot of care becose small pot means a lot of hand care, but this will be good for my connection with the plant. DAY 7 Room temperature 26-27C RH 70% EC 1.0 PPFD 220 EC 1.0 No watering today the coco is pretty wet so probably tomorrow morning. My micro is showing significantly nice grow for now i beleave it will be in veg until next week. DAY 8 Room temperature 26-27C RH 70% EC 1.0 PPFD 220 EC 1.0 Slow but steady. The small one looks happy, few more days and ill start Athena nutrients by their feeding chart. DAY 9 Room temperature DAY 26-27 Room temperature night 22-23 RH day 70% RH night 60% EC 1.0 PPFD 220 EC 1.0 My little cowboy is doing grate it's still far from veg but I'm not in a hurry. DAY 10 Room temperature DAY 26-27 Room temperature night 22-23 RH day 60% RH night 55% PPFD 220 EC 1.8 A little bit of Cal mag is never too much, so I increase the feeding EC to 1.8 and probably from Monday I'll move to 3.0 with blended line. DAY 11 Room temperature DAY 26-27 Room temperature night 22-23 RH day 70% RH night 60% PPFD 220 EC 1.8 VPD 1.5 Nothing more dan a good picture. Minor grow of leaves but nothing impressive for now. Not like I expected much, after all it's coco, it's not RDWC. DAY 12 Room temperature DAY 26-27 Room temperature night 22-23 RH day 70% RH night 60% PPFD 300 EC 1.8 VPD 1.5 Strange but PAPAYA is going faster dan gorilla in coco. It's interesting race for me in the coco media. DAY 13 Room temperature DAY 26-27 Room temperature night 22-23 RH day 70% RH night 60% PPFD 450 EC 2.5 VPD 1.5 I have increased a little bit the cal-mag and I have added some Silica from one old xpert nutrition bottle left from previous run. I do believe soon this little champ will be in to veg. DAY 14 Room temperature DAY 26-27 Room temperature night 22-23 RH day 70% RH night 60% PPFD 450 EC 2.5 VPD 1.5 We are in the big boys club even a little early but anyway now we are directly under the new light 1500W GML TARANTULA VOYAGER. Nice shot of 400-450PPFD for 20h a day. DAY 15 Room temperature DAY 26-27 Room temperature night 22-23 RH day 70% RH night 60% PPFD 450 EC 2.5 VPD 1.5 All good we are almost in VEG. DAY 16 RH 55-60 RH Night 55-60 Room temperature day 26C Room temperature night 21-23C EC 2.8 pH 6.0 PPFD 400 Light cicle 20/4 VPD 1.3 Welcome to veg, I'll not start week one veg today I'll start it in Sunday, bit obviously in less dan 10 days this flower is already in veg. I do like to count everi day from the seed but if we look rational its only day 10 days. And just like the gorilla, Papaya is showing amazing results in no time, it's just amazing. DAY 17 RH 55-60 RH Night 55-60 Room temperature day 26C Room temperature night 21-23C EC 2.8 pH 6.0 PPFD 400 Light cicle 20/4 VPD 1.3 I started foliar feeding with Athena Stack. With or without my wish, tomorrow is going to be day 1 Veg. Amazing speed it's time to bring the real deal with Athena, let's see how blended works for Coco on their feeding program 1:1. I have pretty amazing time in germination and most importantly this genetic shows true power and obviously is pretty tolerant.

Hi all ๐Ÿง‘โ€๐ŸŒพ Welcome to my ๐ŸŒ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ‘Š week update. Hope everyone keeping well and having a good week. Thank you so much for your support on this bananas journey ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ’š I am so happy to see how girls are developing in recent days. It's seems that Athena finally stopped her stretch and hoping that Xena will follow her sister very soon. Buds are gaining weight and size rapidly. Lots of nice colours and tonnes of trichomes on those buds already. Week 10 Dec 18-24 Dec 18-19 Mainly observation. Xena is still stretching like crazy. both girls are developing beautifully. Dec 20 First watering for this week. 7.5 ltr beetwen both. Runoffs PH's Athena 6.2 Xena 6.3. Dec 21 Due to lack of light at lower parts of conopy decided for another selective defoliation, lowered a bit tallest branches with colas dangerously close to light by tieing them to netting. Couple cm will make a huge difference here. Could not clear well at the back wall of the cabinet due to limited access.I'm very happy with final result. Dec 22-23 Joyful observation of my ๐ŸŒ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ‘Šgirls development ๐Ÿง‘โ€๐ŸŒพ Dec 24 All is looking great. It's seems that stretch is finally stopped. Girls looking healthy and happy. Second watering for this week. 8 ltr beetwen both. Both runoffs PH 6.2. It's the end of this week. Happy Xmas everyone ๐Ÿคถ๐ŸŽ„โ„๏ธ๐ŸŽโ˜ƒ๏ธโœŒ๏ธ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒฒ๐ŸŽ…๐ŸŽ„ Stay tuned for new week update โœจ๐Ÿ€โœจโœŒ๏ธ๐Ÿ’š

A day early on week five - the girls are coming along nicely. Just leaving them out in the sun and making sure they are not too dry. Started adding some Fox Farms this week. Still contemplating some kind of technique, not sure I want to stress them. Perhaps defoliation? Open to comments. Cheers!
