She smells so sweet and citrusy it makes my mouth water whenever I check her, I think she’s not got long to go, every bud is nice and big by my standards grown with no issues throughout just in flush now to get ready for harvest time. Patience is key

I skipped a week cause it just keeps growing and swelling. A few days ago the branches started falling over. I couldn't find half the plant. So instead of ignoring it I decided to stake this plant up. Great smells, definitely seems like a winner. Other plants will have a hard time competing against this blue cheese. Earlier this week I let this plant dry out for a day to stress it a little. The yellow leaves are from too much light and the drought stress. I expected similar heights from the plants but as you can see the difference is huge.😊

Beefing up nicely. Really liking the bud structure and smell. Skunky gas.

I was doin LST on one gg4 clone and and zookies clone snapped the top of the gg4 and the zookies split in the middle put tape will see how it plays off today

This lady is huge. She has stretched like made going into flower. I really cleaned out a lot of growth so I don’t get a ton of popcorn nugs. She is drinking a lot, anywhere from 7-10 gallons every two days. 😎🍿🍻🌱

6 week started in July, 8. In this week i incorporate some CO2.The plants look great.The tallest plant is a syrup buddha, its weird because she is one week younger.I know that i said that i will do another diarie for the younger plants but im lazy, and the other plants are faster than the Lemons, so they are kind of in the same week. I keep feeding them with 1/2 of the snoop's premium nutrients bloom and the other half with snoop's premium nutrients grow, following the recommendations of the product. Also i incorporate Genesis from Agrobeta (pictures in the 5 week).

12/2- All 6 are looking good. Keeping temp around 76 and RH 80-85%. Using a reptile fogger as a humidifier and I'm happy to report it works beautifully. 12/3- Going smoothly. Keeping soil moist and conditions right.

April 26, 2024 Day 71 It's a new week and the start of late flower. It was also cleaning day. Both reservoirs have been cleaned out and are freshly loaded with new water. This week we are focusing on watering and nutrients. I may start to drop the dose until flush, over this week and the next. The light power will also be gradually dropped down over the next 2 weeks. Not much this week, I think I'll drop the DLI down to 43 mol/m²/d in the middle of the week. Next week I'll drop it down to 38 mol/m²/d. It all depends on what the plants look like. The plants are getting ready to hunker down and finish up. Both have decent sized buds and just need to finish swelling. I'd say another 2 weeks maybe? Flushing will start at some point over the next 2 weeks as well. Flushing won't be much of a big deal as it's just cleaning the reservoirs and running a week of Flawless Finish. The environment is changing a bit as well. I dropped the day temp down to 75° and the night temps to 65° or lower. Not cold enough to cause stress, but enough to get some purple I hope. The humidity is sitting at 47% and I'll be leaving it there unless somehow I can get it to go lower. For now it's pretty solid at 47% and everything looks great, so no need to worry. I'll be taking trichome pics every few days. One pic for each plant. No point in loading up the whole photo gallery with even more daily pics. Plus, the progression of trichomes isn't fast enough to really notice daily. So every 3 days should be fine. Grow System Environment: Temp: 74.2° RH: 47.7% VPD: 1.49 kPa April 27, 2024 Nothing happening today. Both ladies were inspected with no issues. I snipped a single leaf off of Banana Purple Punch B. Just one. Blocking bud sites. Banana Purple Punch A has some massive buds. About the size of golf balls. Maybe a bit smaller. They are still swelling and have a good 2 weeks left. Pistils are still mostly white, so that's a good sign for larger buds and more trichomes. Banana Purple Punch B is looking wonderful as ever. She doesn't seem to be suffering any issues with nutrient burn unlike her sister plant. She's perfectly healthy and has very nice bud production. The buds aren't quite as big as Banana Purple Punch A, but still nice and sizeable. The nutrient burn seems to have stopped for Banana Purple Punch A. So that's good. It should be perfectly fine now. Lighting is staying the same for the next couple of days. Although, I may keep it the same for the rest of the week. The environment is excellent now. It's raining today and the humidity is still at 47%. I did get it down to 44% for most of the afternoon yesterday, so I may be able to keep it down after the rain stops. Or just wait for the afternoon and see what happens. Either way, the humidity is now at 47% and the temp is at 76.8°. The VPD is at 1.57 kPa. A tiny bit high, but still well within range. Last night's temp was a little high at 69°. I'll have to drop the temp lower again to get that 65° sweet spot. Grow System Environment: Temp: 74.4° RH: 45.7% VPD: 1.55 kPa April 28, 2024 Not much to do today. I mixed a new batch of nutrients for both plants. The only difference is that I cut the Overdrive in half down to 2 ml/gal. Neither plant needs it, but now it's mixed and ready to go. I may end up filling the reservoirs tonight as it stands. Or later this afternoon. I don't think they will last til tomorrow morning. Both plants are putting off a wonderful aroma. I honestly can't describe it. Like sweet and kind of a hint of banana and a bit heady. Trichome production is picking up quickly. The pistils are starting to turn orange as well. They are definitely in the late flowering stage. I think I'll start dropping the nutrients for the next watering. And I'll drop the DLI down to 40 mol/m²/d tomorrow I think. Not much else to say about nutrients or lighting, so moving on to the environment. It's a warm humid day out and raining off and on. My whole environment is wonky, with humidity being at 57% and the temp at 77°. I turned the AC on about an hour ago and the temp went down to 75°, and humidity up to 60%. I think I'll crank the AC all the way down. And hopefully get rid of the humidity with the temp being a bit lower than perfect. Update: I ended up adding about a half gallon of plain water to both reservoirs. Just Incase I have nutrient lockout or something. They should go through that by tomorrow afternoon. Maybe late evening. Grow System Environment: Temp: 75.6° RH: 52.8% VPD: 1.39 kPa April 29, 2024 No watering today. I'm still waiting for the plain water work it's way through. However, I did drop the light power. Both ladies look great. Big buds, great scent and nice color. I'm not seeing any fade yet, but the nutrient burn is still there. I hope it will fix itself with the plain water. And then maybe fading will start. These two need a good 2 weeks or so before harvest. The lighting, as I said, was changed today. I dropped the power down to 70% to get as close as possible to 40 mol/m²/d. I may have to drop it another 10%. I'm not too sure. I'll check the DLI again when I'm more awake. (I'm finally on my second cup of coffee. Lol) Looks good though. Just around where I want it to be. But there are a lot of spots where the DLI is a bit high at 43 mol/m²/d. The tallest tops are also kind of high at 45 mol/m²/d. Again, I'll double check on a couple hours, but it should be fine. The environment is wonky again today. The temp is fine, but the humidity is still high at 60% and I don't see a way to drop it again. Not with the current weather. Hopefully I can get it down with some heat. The AC method did not work. Well, it maybe will work tonight. I'll be dropping that bad boy down to 59° tonight and hopefully it will do what I need it to. Grow System Environment: Temp: 74.2° RH: 59.8% VPD: 1.15 kPa April 30, 2024 Watering day. The reservoirs were both nearly empty and there was just enough space for a full gallon in each one. It's the normal nutrient dose with Overdrive being at 2 ml/gal. These two plants are looking mighty fine. Excellent bud swelling and trichome production. I'm definitely going to be wet trimming them instead of my normal dry trim. I may leave the bods on the branches and do a partial wet trim, or I guess mostly wet trim. They smell great! Very strong aroma now. I swear they smell like artificial grape. I can't describe it any other way. Grape and pungent. Awesome. So far the light seems to be fine. No reaching or showing any signs of lack of lighting. They look pretty happy. Although, Banana Purple Punch A is a bit sad from nutrient burn. Banana Purple Punch B however didn't seem to have much of a problem with the burn. The environment is still pretty wonky. High humidity again. I can control the temp pretty easily, but the humidity is another issue. It's currently sitting at 56% and I'm holding the temp at 76°. Grow System Environment: Temp: 75.5° RH: 57.0% VPD: 1.26 kPa May 1, 2024 Not a whole lot going on today. No water needed, no light changes. I rotated both ladies 180° so now they are getting light on other sides. I'll leave them like this for the rest of the grow I think. Banana Purple Punch A actually fits better in the new position. Less wall touching and about the same neighboring plant touching. I also removed 3 leaves. Ones that were misshapen from being crushed against the tent walls. Banana Purple Punch B seems to fit a little better in the new position, mostly because of her sister plant. More room on the outside and a little less room inside. No leaves were removed today. I'll reserve that for the last 2 days of the grow cycle. Then I'll do a massive defoliation and then a wet trim. It's humid here right now and I need the space. Otherwise I'd stick with dry trimming. But I can't hold up the tent for 3 more weeks. I have other plants getting ready to be planted in their final containers. Like a week for that, I might be able to squeeze a week and a half, but that's it. They will have a space, but the main tent is where they will need to be. Not a 2x2 dry tent. I'll work it how I need to I guess. Anyway, both ladies look great! Trichome production is coming along nicely as well. They are very smelly now and I love it. They are also still packing on weight I think. Not a ton, but the buds are clearly getting denser now that some of the pistils are starting to turn orange. I'd say another 2 weeks on these two. As I said, the lighting hasn't changed at all. Not for another few days to a week. Then it will have another power drop. Until then, we are staying at a DLI of 40 mol/m²/d. It's roughly 38 mol/m²/d on the outer part of the canopy. The environment is STILL wonky. I cannot for the life of me get that damned humidity down at all. Not with a dehumidifier, not with the heat cranked, not with the AC cranked. I'll try my big dehumidifier in my room, but the humidity is like 49% and frankly I'd rather the room humidity stay there. Much easier to breathe. However, the humidity in the tent is suffering at 59% while the temp is hanging out still at 76° Grow System Environment: Temp: 75.2° RH: 56.1% VPD: 1.27 kPa May 2, 2024 Not a lot going on today. No watering needed, no trimming, nothing. I found a broken bud on Banana Purple Punch A. It must have been from when it was against the wall, or too close to the other plants and got stuck on a branch while I was rotating. Oh well. It's a lower bud, so not huge. It's also the last day of the week and that means new videos! For the rest of the grow, I'll be making weekly videos of the individual plants. So that will.be this week and the next 2 weeks or so. Banana Purple Punch A looks great aside from that one broken bud. Her buds are fat and thick. Super dense from what I can see. I would like to note that the fade hasn't started yet, so we still have that 2 weeks left. Unless it starts in the next day or 2, I'll be banking on 2 weeks. Banana Purple Punch B is still compact as ever, but her buds are getting fatter everyday and of all the plants in the tent, she has done the best with the nutrients. Very little burn and didn't seem to be bothered by it. Maybe I did something early on to have such a small plant, but still. I think I can bank on 2 oz from each plant. Maybe 3 oz. It's really nothing compared to previous grows, but as I said before, as long as it's fire, I'm happy. Trichome production on both plants is fantastic. They are loaded from top to bottom. And building more and more everyday. There's still plenty of time left for there 2 as well. Most of the trichomes are clear with about 20% being cloudy and sparsely amber. That's another sign that they need another couple of weeks. Maybe slightly less. I increased the light power yesterday back up to 80%. I think I was a bit early on the intensity drop, so I'll drop it again in a few days I think. Around mid week coming up. Now we are running a DLI of 43 mol/m²/d inside and 40 mol/m²/d on the outside. The environment kinda fixed itself, but not to the ideal climate. It's still at 55% humidity. Better than 60%, but still not good enough. It needs to be below 50%. However, I can still control the temp and I have it at 74.5°. I'll turn it up a bit and see if I can clear out the last 5% of the humidity. Grow System Environment: Temp: 73.7° RH: 55.2% VPD: 1.24 kPa Update: I added a couple test videos to see if they would upload. Success!

Growing at a good pace. Going to top the leaders at the 3rd node on day 28. Might wait a week for the others. Going to mainline my grow for the first time. I will wait to defoliate after they heal from being topped. I will update this week with more pictures after they are topped. Topped day 28. Defoliated day 30. Lst day 32?

Topped last week ..this week I cleaned up some the leafs under where I topped... probably top again next week... I add frozen water bottles to res daily to keep water temps down..was gonna try for 8 tops but not sure whats gonna happen want to flip flower mid October

Cut!!! Sechage curing et smoke test!!

Da oltre venti anni che coltivo e sono sempre più felice della qualità proposta da queste magnifiche banche semi! Complimenti di cuore a chi ha selezionato e creato queste varietà autofiorenti. Crescono rapidamente,resistono agli afidi e alcune sfiorano il metro di altezza, tutte insieme sembrano una mini foresta! Iniziano a fiorire gradualmente ed essendo molto diramate tutte è spettacolare nel vederle! Appare la prima resina e sono in ottima salute. Sono felice fino ad adesso perché se guardate foto e video vi rendete conto che qui nel centro Italia in outdoor biologico abbiamo il migliore clima che si possa desiderare anche se questo 2023 fino a metà maggio ha piovuto tantissimo e ci sono stati sbalzi di temperatura, ciò non è stato un problema per queste varietà così forti e abbondanti! Adesso la magia è iniziata, il caldo è arrivato e non vedo l'ora di vederle piene di infiorescenze tutte! Si procede felicemente, un abbraccio a tutti!

Fruity Durban is een Sativa-dominante kruising (waarschijnlijk Durban Poison-achtig met fruitige twist), dus rek/stretch is significant. Pure Durban kan 2-3 m hoog worden buiten, indoors met korte veg vaak 1-2 m zonder training. Met jouw 180 cm tent (incl. lamp + hangruimte) is dat krap — je moet trainen om alles erin te houden. Kweekopstelling update Tent hoogte: 180 cm (typisch ~30-40 cm voor lamp + reflector + ophanging, dus effectieve plantruimte ~140-150 cm max). Lamp: Mars Hydro TS600 (100W echt, prima voor 60x60 in bloom, maar dimbaar gebruiken in veg/zaailing). Medium: gewone potgrond (aangenomen light-mix of universele potgrond zonder veel voeding; pas op overvoeding). Potten: start 0.2L → doorschalen naar 7-11L (of max 15L als je ze klein houdt). Verwacht: stretch ×2-2.5x na flip, dus training essentieel. Week-voor-week verwacht verloop (aangepast aan 180 cm limiet) Week 1 – Zaailing (nu gestart, ~23 maart 2026) Alle 5 gekiemd en staan strak (Serious Seeds kiemt top). Hoogte: 5-10 cm eind week. Lamp dimmen (30-50%), 50-60 cm afstand, 18/6 licht. RV 65-75%, temp 24-27°C. Alleen water/spray, geen voeding nog. Week 2-3 – Veg vroege fase Groei accelereert: Sativa-stijl, lange internodiën. Hoogte eind week 3: 20-40 cm als je niet toppt. Doorschalen: rond dag 10-14 naar 3-5L potten, later (week 4) naar 7-11L finale potten. Beginnen met lichte voeding (EC 0.6-0.9, grow-formule). Tip nu al: LST starten (takken buigen) of top/fim rond 4-5e node (dag 18-25) om breedte te forceren i.p.v. hoogte. Week 4 – Late veg / pre-flip Hoogte zonder training: makkelijk 50-80 cm. Cruciaal: trainen! SCROG-netje op ~40-50 cm hoogte, of meerdere LST-ties + topping 1-2x. Doel: canopy plat en gelijkmatig onder de lamp houden. Zonder training ga je tegen de 180 cm aan botsen in stretch. Lamp 70-80% power, 35-45 cm afstand. Week 5 – Flip naar 12/12 Eerste pistils binnen 4-7 dagen. Stretch start: ×2 tot ×2.5 (typisch voor Durban-achtigen). Getrainde planten: van 40-60 cm veg → 80-140 cm eind stretch. Ongetraind: 100-180+ cm → problemen (lamp verbranden of top afknippen). Lamp 100%, 25-35 cm boven canopy (verhoog tent als kan, of hang lager maar pas op hitte). Week 6-9 – Bloei stretch & budontwikkeling Stretch klaar rond week 3 bloei (dag 50-60 totaal). Toppen worden harsig, fruitig (citrus/anijs/zoet). Geur week 7-8 sterk → filter verplicht. Voeding: bloom EC 1.0-1.6, PK boost vanaf week 6. Potgrond houdt vocht lang vast → niet overwateren (laat droger tussen gietbeurten). Hoogte eind stretch: met goede training 100-140 cm (past net in 180 cm tent met ~30-40 cm lamp-ruimte). Week 10-12 – Rijping & finish Bloei-tijd: ~9-10 weken (Durban-lijn vaak 8-10 wk). Trichomen: cloudy met 10-30% amber rond dag 63-77. Flush laatste 10-14 dagen. Bladeren vergelen natuurlijk. Eindhoogte met training: 110-150 cm (veilig onder lamp). Oogst verwacht (medio/eind mei 2026) Opbrengst: met TS600 in 60x60 → realistisch 80-150 gram droog totaal (0.8-1.5 g/W). Goede training + gelijkmatige canopy → dichter bij 120-150 g. Slechte spreiding → 80-100 g. Kwaliteit: sticky hars, up/high energiek, fruitig-Durban profiel. Belangrijke tips voor 180 cm tent Training is niet optioneel: LST + topping of SCROG-netje vanaf veg. Houd canopy op max 100-120 cm hoogte. Potgrond: droogt langzaam → giet spaarzaam, check gewicht pot. Ventilatie: TS600 geeft weinig hitte, maar trek sterke fan voor luchtcirculatie (Sativa's haten stilstaande lucht). Als je merkt dat ze te hard rekken: supercropping toepassen of lamp hoger hangen (maar PAR daalt dan).

5 more weeks left on the schedule for the veg cycle, growth has been amazing with no signs of stress. I am also using recharge at every watering at (1/4) strength.
