Both are clearly in mid flowering. Starting to grow fast; every 24 hours I can see a difference in the bud size in both plants. I turned the light up to 100% now that it's using as much energy as it can.. I'll be checking for light burns daily.. so far so good. Both are very thirsty as well at this point.. went from feeding every 5-6 days to every 2 days tops. Doing a nute/nute/water feed.. these pics are day 2 of week 5 so taking more pics in a few more days Update: at 100% light burn started to occur. Caught it early tho. Put the light back to 80% and just brought a couple inches closer.

👉The final dry weight, which was 369g (13oz) is just buds, no trim or larf. Just Good big buds. Great plant overall. Had a phosphorus issue that lingered, it foxtailed at the end and in the last day hermie bitz appeared on almost every branch end cola. Sturdy branches, lots of food factories. Wonderful aroma that wasn't as stanky as most. Spend 4 hours trimming. Started at the bottom and worked my way up. I put the end cola of each branch on its own label clothes pin and hung on a rack. Each cola was weighed wet and cataloged. after 24 hrs I started putting each cola in a paper bag and the net buds in a larger bag. It took 5 days to reduce the dry weight to under 30%. When they hit this mark they went into the jars which were labeled according to their documented location. I figured the weigh reduction percentage by comparing weighs from the initial wet trimmed weight. In each jar I also added a hygrometer. Surprisingly the RH of almost ever jar was under 58%. None of the jars required any burping to remove excess humidity. At that point I added moisture 62% moisture packs and put the jars in the closet. I sampled bud J till this writing. It didn't start getting tasty till the 4 week mark.

Nothing too wild happened this week. I trimmed her up a bit today before taking pictures, she’s looking good. Doesn’t seem like much is really going on with the plant, but the buds do seem to be getting bigger. While trimming today, I think I found a spider in the leaves I removed. Should I be worried about this? It’s either eating insects or it’s just in there right? Hopefully there are no bugs for this thing to eat. 4 more weeks of flower. Wednesday update: Had an issue. Seems my timers stopped working. Light and filters/fans. Not sure when it happened, but I've reset lights to the normal time setting. Hope this doesn't affect her

Lovely buds sweet and fruity with citrus smell. Taste is the same ;) She has a potential to have a good yield if you have a good lamp. Nice buds really sticky, with nice trichomes. :) It must be tried.

May 10, 2024 Day 85 A new week and I'm not sure these 2 are ready for flushing. They have way too many white pistils. Plenty of orange, though. Banana Purple Punch A has more orange pistils. Both got a gallon of nutrient water today. So they are definitely still drinking somewhat heavily. And they haven't slowed down yet. I'll keep an eye on them though. Flushing will have to happen sometime. I'd say in the next 3 waterings. That's just a guess based on their current progress. It just seems that they aren't done swelling and there's absolutely no purple coming through yet. Banana Purple Punch A still looks great. Her buds are starting to weight down the taller tops and they are slightly leaning toward the outside of the plant. It's actually quite good. It's opening up even more space for the lowers to get as much light as possible. Air flow is great as well. This is especially important because she is in the back directly under a clip fan. So it's more prone to mold. At least that's what happened in my last grow. This time I have another clip fan across from this one, so the air circulates throughout the whole tent, top to bottom. Banana Purple Punch B looks great! She's not bending any tops, but I don't expect her to with how strong her branches are. Practically immovable. However, she's definitely getting more jiggly. And she has huge buds top to bottom. I wonder if that's the reason she doesn't budge. No room. Lol. Honestly, she may be really compact, but I have her branches spread out enough for good airflow. There's just a couple of clusters that are a bit too dense with foliage, but it doesn't seem to be a problem. Lots of airflow and light. She's a bit behind her sister plant. Way more white pistils and orange on this one. No signs of purple whatsoever. Just a healthy growing plant. I'll be checking trichomes later today if I'm up to it. I hurt my back earlier. Regardless of that, I'll be getting trichome pics today or tomorrow. Probably tomorrow with videos at the end of the week. It's been quite some time since I last took trichome pics. Bad planning on my part. However, I'm excited to see how much further along they are from last time. I won't be changing the light for another few days I think. Then I'll drop the power down. As I said before, I don't think they are ready for flushing, so not ready for light changes. The environment is still a bit off. Today the temp is 76° but the humidity is still high at 56%. This is sure to ruin something. I'm still trying to get the humidity down. I have a feeling I just don't have enough air exchange in my bed room. I'm going to continue messing with it until it's right though. Grow System Environment: Temp: 74.1° RH: 54.2% VPD: 1.29 kPa May 11, 2024 Not a lot going on today. Just some pictures. Banana Purple Punch A is looking really good. She looks to have another week or so. I'm really confused as to why my plants take so long to grow and finish up. Banana Purple Punch B has completely caught up with her sister plant. She has the same amount of orange pistils. That tells me there isn't much left to go. If she caught up, that means Banana Purple Punch A is even closer to being done than I think. Maybe. I'll check the trichomes again tomorrow. No pics unless they are done. I doubt they will be. Especially Banana Purple Punch B. On the other hand Banana Purple Punch A could have only a couple days left and just isn't going to turn purple or fade at all. I'm going to start flushing in a couple days I think. They both look about ready for it. Plus, they are about as big as they are going to get. I think the flush will bring out the colors. So next watering will be the beginning of the flush cycle. It should be in a couple days. Also, both ladies have slowed down on their water intake. So the reservoirs should be empty in 2 to 3 days. Probably 2 days. Then I can clean them out and get to it. The lights are going to be turned down when flushing begins. I'm going to aim for a DLI of 36 mol/m²/d for the rest of the grow. It shouldn't be anymore than a week of flushing before they are done. The environment is still messed up. It got down to 49% yesterday for a couple hours, but then this morning it was right back up to 54%. The temp is fine at 76° Still not cold enough at night, but I have time. A few days to work it out. I'd like to be down to 65° by then for the last week of their lives. Grow System Environment: Temp: 73.1° RH: 53.7% VPD: 1.27 kPa Update: I decided to check the trichomes anyway. Banana Purple Punch A has quite a few cloudy trichomes. Very few amber and a bit too many clear. I'd say she has about 5 days left. Banana Purple Punch B also has quite a few cloudy trichomes. However, she has about 15% to 20% clear trichomes. Amber trichomes are basically nonexistent. There's a few here and there, but mostly on the sugar leaves and not on the buds themselves. I'd say she has another 7 days left. Honestly I don't want to harvest them separately. I'd rather harvest them at the same time, so I might harvest them in 6 days. Right in between. Maybe 7 days if Banana Purple Punch A isn't quite there yet. To be honest, I have no real idea with this strain. They seem to be getting there, but there's no purple, still a lot of clear trichomes and it's been 12 weeks. So it could be another 2 weeks for all I know. I'd like to push them as far as they need, but I have 4 other plants that need to come in the tent ASAP. So I may have to chop a bit earlier than I really want to. I'll post some trichome pics tomorrow and see what you all think. Comments are welcome. Lol May 12, 2024 Some pics today. I'll try to keep this one short. Banana Purple Punch A looks good. I checked the trichomes. Not done yet. I'm sticking by my 5 days estimate. So 4 days left. She doesn't seem to be drinking at all. She is, but it's a trickle. Definitely not like it was. I'll have to empty the reservoir out tomorrow and start the flushing cycle. Banana Purple Punch B also looks great. I also checked her trichomes. She is about the same as her sister plant. Not enough cloudy trichomes, but the amber ones are starting to show up. A good sign. She might be ready in 4 days. I'm still guessing 5 to 6 days. She also isn't drinking nearly as much as she was before. A great sign that she should be starting the flush. For trichome pics, I'll be posting some tomorrow. Nothing to post today. I'll be dropping the light power when I start flushing. Which should be tomorrow or the next day. As I've said before, the DLI will be around 36 mol/m²/d. The environment is a lost cause. I cannot for the life of me get the damned humidity to a reasonable level, so I'll continue to open the tent every couple of hours throughout the rest of the grow. Happily, it's only a few days to a week. The temp is a bit high today as well. 77°. I'm already working to drop it a bit without going over 60% humidity. I should be able to get it down to 74° without a problem. It's just the humidity that's killing me. Grow System Environment: Temp: 73.9° RH: 55.6% VPD: 1.25 kPa May 13, 2024 Flushing day! I decided to rinse out the basins and begin the flush. I was going to wait another day, but I think it's time. They have about a week left I think. Honestly it should be done by now, but they aren't. Lol. No matter. They should be done in about a week. Maybe slightly less. So they have been given 4 ml of Flawless Finish. It should be the only dose I have to give. Maybe one more, but I doubt it. I still need to dry the containers out. That will take a day or two. So maybe a half gallon in a few days, just to get that last push in. Banana Purple Punch A looks great! Some more lean happening with the tops. Nothing bad or anything, just a slight lean. Perfect for heavy buds. I didn't bother checking her trichomes today. No point. You can tell she's not ready just by looking at her. Banana Purple Punch B may need even more time. I'm going to have to decided what to do. Wait for this one to be done then harvest both? Or harvest one at a time as they finish up? Decisions decisions. I'll figure it out in a week. Her branches are really jiggly now. No lean exactly, more like a sway. When she gets moved her top heavy branches sway a bit. Great sign for a heavy yield from a 17" plant. Or is it 19"? Either way, it's going to have a fantastic yield compared to her size. One advantage I am seeing with the longer finish is it will give me time to dry some Tropicana Cookies I am harvesting in a couple of days. I'll be wet trimming this time around and the dry time should only take about 5 to 7 days. Maybe 10, but I'd rather not try to stuff 4 plants in a 2x2 to dry. It's a recipe for disaster. 2 at a time stacked on top of each other. I'll be dropping the light intensity tomorrow or later this afternoon. Maybe even tonight during lights out so in the morning it will be ready for the new day of less light. As I've said before... Over and over... I'll be dropping the light power to 70% which should drop the DLI down to 36 mol/m²/d. Oh, btw, I use the Photone for my light measurements. It has a PAR meter, Lux, DLI and I Believe color spectrum? Kelvin? No clue what that does. I focus on DLI. It's a better reading than just PPFD. The environment is still messy... as always... I'm keeping the temp down to 74°. The humidity at 58%. So it's still too high, but I've done all I can to drop it down and it won't even go below 50% with the tent door wide open. It just won't. So unless I can get the humidity in my room down to like 30%, the humidity in the tent remains over 50%. Hopefully pulling the plants out daily is enough to prevent mold and other issues. There's also the two circular fans. They aren't at full power, but they don't need to be as there's two. Plenty of airflow. I'll really need to keep an eye on these plants. Maybe I'll take them out multiple times a day. Like 2 or 3. Grow System Environment: Temp: 74.5° RH: 56.2% VPD: 1.25 kPa Update: I ordered a new dehumidifier for grow tents today. It should be here tomorrow. I'm guessing a lot of my problem with the humidity is my current dehumidifier. It barely pushes air. Cheap and well used. The new one is from Vivosun. A much more reputable company. May 14, 2024 Trichome day! Alright, so I took some video today. Not the best quality, but I hurt my back so I'm all shaky. The pics were a lost cause. Lol Banana Purple Punch A looks great! More leaning branches. This late in the grow, I don't care. They aren't leaning that bad and it's only showing how heavy these buds are. Trichomes are mostly cloudy with a bit left of clear and nowhere near enough amber. 5 to 6 more days I think. Banana Purple Punch B is so pretty. She has the faintest purple coming from the flowers, but not much. It is a sign that we may end up with a purple plant during flush. Trichomes are partly cloudy with 30% clear and next to no amber. She still has time to go. I'd say another 7 to 10 days. Now I'm overshooting it just incase. I don't think the plants noticed a difference in the light drop, or they did and it's not doing anything. However, I'm not sure what it should be doing. I'm guessing preserving trichomes? Makes sense. Anyway, it's staying at 36 mol/m²/d DLI. The environment is still an absolute mess. The humidity is at like 59% and as always, I can control the temp, but nothing changes the humidity. And it's like 55% humidity out today. Fail. Lol. Grow System Environment: Temp: 74.3° RH: 59.0% VPD: 1.16 kPa May 15, 2024 Nothing to do today. They are still watered and whatnot. No changes in color yet either. I'm starting to think these both will be green phenomes. Or maybe they really aren't ready yet. It's just weird. What am I doing wrong to get all my plants to grow for so long? Oh well. This round is just different because of the other 4 plants that need this space. I really need them to finish up ASAP. No trichome check today. I can still t ell they aren't ready. The bottoms still have a majority of white pistils and the tops are just not there yet. I think they can get denser. They aren't quite rock hard yet, so I know they still have time. Banana Purple Punch A looks amazing. More leaning branches that are swaying in the breeze. No fade yet, but the leaves are starting to look ready for the fade. Maybe. Banana Purple Punch B is strong as ever. Definitely still packing on weight. Definitely not ready for harvest. Still another week I think. I'll check trichomes tomorrow on this one. I think I'll wait for her to be done then I can harvest both plants at once. The light seems to be just being a light now. I can't really see what it's doing, but I know the frost is there. Lol. So it must be doing something. The environment is killing me. Still over 60% and my room has climbed up to 60% as well. I have a heater running and the dehumidifier that I think is done working. My new one should be here today. And not a moment too soon. I should have replaced this one months ago. Unfortunately, I don't have much control over the heat anymore. The humidity is just over powering it and I can't get anything to change. I'm going to crank the heat and see if that helps. Like set it to 80° and see what happens. It's currently set to 74°. And 8 don't think that temp is high enough to combat the humidity. Crank it up! Grow System Environment: Temp: 72.9° RH: 63.0% VPD: .00 kPa May 16, 2024 Today is looking pretty good. I checked the trichomes on Banana Purple Punch B as she has the longest to go. I figure when she is done, Banana Purple Punch A will be as well. I've also watered them with plain water. PHed to 6.2. just a half gallon in the reservoirs. I'm not ready to let them dry out yet. Banana Purple Punch A looks great! Her branches are starting to lean a bit harder and her buds look amazing. No purple yet. Or at all. I'm not sure. But I'm certainly sure that the fade hasn't begun yet. I'm not bothering with trichomes for now. I'll just wait to see what her sister does. I'll check trichomes in a couple of days. Banana Purple Punch B looks amazing. Her buds are fat and dense. She smells great and stays strong. A bit more swaying. But it's the whole plant now. Wonderful! I checked the trichomes on this one. She is developing quite nicely. I'd say another 5 to 7 days? Maybe a little less if we're lucky. There's more cloudy trichomes than before and finally some amber. Much less clear as well. She definitely is nowhere near fading, so that's a concern for time. The light stays the same. It seems to be perfect for these two. So no changes. The environment is still a nightmare, but it's 86% humid outside and 63% in my room. Happily, not really, the humidity is down to 60%. Not good at all, but better than 63% or even 65%. I'm really hoping these ladies are super resilient. They should be. It's FastBuds and they have great genetics. The temp is fine. I haven't a bit higher to help some with the DLI. So it's hanging out around 76° to 77° for now. The new dehumidifier works way better than the other one. But a cool thing is that they are both small, so I fit them both in and it seems to be kinda working. It's keeping the humidity below what it is in my room, but not low enough. I know it will drop when I figure out how to drop it in my room. I really need a big dehumidifier for my room. That would solve quite a bit. Grow System Environment: Temp: 75.8° RH: 62.8% VPD: 1.07 kPa

5/17 Hello everyone! Not many pics this time around, it's been a busy week! Marie has grown so much in the past week that it touched the lamp, no burns only because it's a low power light and I have a feeling that the reflective box does much of the work when it comes to lighting. Anyway, today I spent some time attaching the lamp to the top of the box as you can see from the video, I think it works great! Watered as usual, 1lt PHd @6.3 +-0.2 when the soil dries (2-3 days) and added some extra Bio-Grow; I also took the occasion to defoliate again, I want more light to reach lower nugs and I've also noticed how when I defoliate the air in the box is much fresher and clean. Week 10 will mark the full switch to flowering nutes, I'll have 3 weeks to nuke the s**t out of this plant with nutrients before flushing, fingers crossed! Let's make some calculations over the growth in height: Week 8: +13cm Week 9: +15cm Assuming +15cm as the max growth rate (I sure hope so), and considering that this plant will take a maximum of 14 weeks from germination (14th being the harvesting week), we're looking at: Week 10: 83cm Week 11: 98cm Week 12: 113cm Week 13: 128cm Week 14: 143cm Which is a whole 25 cm more than my box! XD, hopefully, once we reach week 11 (so next week) it will slow down, after all, 120cm is the maximum height for these genetics (but I hope it's a bit lower like 100 cm would be perfect)

Ne Obliviscaris. Humidity Day 40-45%, Night 60-65% Internodes are very close together. was hitting 450umol at seedling level making it absorb more than it can use, reduced to 280-300umol @18 hours as expected vertical growth increased. During the 18 hours of daylight the first 9 is highly saturated in blue, 5000 kelvin, the 9 hours thereafter are closer to 3000 kelvin. Last 9 hours dosed 280nm. Height is too far to cause damage. UVB light is not detected by plants in the same way other wavelength/colours are. UV cannot be measured using umol as it doesn't drive photosynthesis. The plant has tiny little sensors that get set off to even little amounts, dimer salt bridges, the UV decays these salt bridges, which initiate response. You don't need large/long exposure doses for the plant to recognize UV is present. What's an enzyme? Think of it like a multiplier, you can add an enzyme to any particular biological process to vastly increase its proficiency at a particular process. Cannabis plants take blue/violet light and use it to create an enzyme called "photolayse". This allows the plant to repair UV damage done to the plant using a process called excision repair, this repairs the damage at a much much faster rate than it could by itself. Repairing 100% damage. The key is the plant needs time to build a reserve of the repair enzymes before using it. This is replicated in nature as, by midday UV levels peak, the generally cooler mornings allow lifetime to build up. The problem I encountered was dosing with 280nm lights on or 1 hour after the lights were on. Photomorphogenesis, the plant plans for the future of its growth, if the wavelength is not present during growth then how can it plan accordingly? The very presence of UV changes parameters with which the plant will grow, light itself dictates the growth pattern of the plant. Not only that it can dramatically alter the regular terpene profile of a strain in unexpected ways. Gran daddy purple grown using 280nm can triple already high terpene linalool. Linalool is terpene best known for lavender, largely responsible for its beautiful smell. Trouble sleeping you say? Having tried Durban poison from a dispensary and reading about its levels of tetrahydrocannabivarin. I've always wanted to taste the difference UV would make to such an already stand-out strain such as Durban.

The wedding cake is ok for this week I'm curious to see how it comes out . This week I started to feed again because on my auto I have noticed that it started to get what looks like a calmag issue. And it's in the same soil to. She has very tight internode spacing also a indica look to her will grow her out for a while yet before switching to flower .I like to have 1 big photo period and a main crop of autos .thank you for looking at the diary and will be updating every week 👍

Hello everyone, here are the little ones is doing well apart from a small delay but I hope that it will arrange. I think this is due to the fan that gives directly above .... otherwise I started knitting and watering with clear water this week ....ps: i also pinch the apices to promote secondary branch growth I think I'll start flowering next week .... now place to photos ...

I'm also using #TNBNaturals #TheEnhancer Co2 Despersal Canister and using thier Ph⬆️⬇️ for my Decolinated Tap Water! Green and Growing Up Great! She's leaving her 2nd week of Veg and Stretching out into her 3rd week! She's Growing in my special blend of ProMix potting mix, a 1/2 bag of Earthworm castings and 2 light handfuls of Diatomaceous Earth mixed Up well for before transplanted! Diatomaceous Earth: Diatomaceous earth is made from the fossilized remains of tiny, aquatic organisms called diatoms. Their skeletons are made of a natural substance called silica. WHAT IS DIATOMACEOUS EARTH? In a nutshell, DE comes from the fossilised remains of small marine organisms called diatoms. Over a 30 million year period, these hard-shelled algae collected on the bottom of bodies of water, eventually forming into a type of sedimentary rock. Fast forwarding, it wasn’t until around 1836 that a German peasant Peter Kasten discovered the ivory-coloured, powdery substance while drilling a well in northern Germany. Ever since, the usefulness of DE for multiple purposes, including industrial and horticultural applications, has been well-reported. Just sprinkle some diatomaceous earth on top of your soil and watch mother nature's secret weapon work its magic.CONDITIONS THE SOIL When it comes to growing cannabis, everyone strives to provide the best soil to grow the best plants—but there’s always a way to make it even better. Making the soil a better medium is called soil conditioning, which is exactly what diatomaceous earth does. It works by improving the retention of moisture in your potting soil, holding a large amount of fluid and drying at a rate that’s much slower. This natural soil additive also helps to retain nutrients and allows for better oxygenation of the substrate. NATURALLY CONTROLS PESTS DE is an all-natural, safe-to-use substance that doesn’t harm the cannabis plant with toxic chemicals. The nature of diatomaceous earth makes it useful against most types of insect infestation you might be experiencing; and unlike chemical insecticides, insects can’t develop a resistance to the effects of DE. So once they’re gone, they’re gone for good. DE is an abrasive. and when used as an insecticide, it gradually scrapes away an insect’s exoskeleton, absorbs the fluids, and dehydrates insects and other critters to eventual death. IMPROVES PLANT STABILITY When using DE in your soil, it can be especially beneficial as it frees up nutrients so that they are made available to the plants as needed. This works via the silica content of DE being absorbed into the plant tissue, which helps improve the plant’s ability to respond and receive more nutrients as DE activates. This in turn results in greater yields and better stability under small pH fluctuations! https://divineseeds.net/ https://instagram.com/divine.seeds?igshid=osxe2v7en33v https://divineseeds.net/ Thanks Again to All my Friends, Family's, Teams, Sponsors, Followers and Subscribers!!!

Holy Snow - Greenhouse Seed Co. Day 34 - watered with 1.5L of RO tap water, mixed with the defined nutrients and pH'd to 6.3. Lots of work on her this week, she's had a good defoliation of all the first few leaves that she grew and are now spent. She has also grown around 9 buds sites, so I've topped her main stem and now we have 8 main stems🙏🏻 I've also pinned down her lowest most stems, to force them to grow outward, to ensure we give her buds enough space to grow🤞🏻. I will now let her hormones kick in and start pushing growth power out to these 8 stems - hopefully we start seeing her mature a bit more over the next couple of weeks as she prepares herself for bloom 🙌🏻

hi to all, brothers and masters of weed. my queens are really strong !!! I started with the flushing for these little girls who have started to turn purple .... the smell is very strong and it is really AMAZING The buds are literally covered with powerful glue that just touching them release a strong and pleasant smell .... I think I will not throw anything from the waste because every corner of the plant is covered with sparkling and powerful trichomes with which I hope to make good hashish I leave you wishing you a happy and abundant harvest for all of you see you around
