Of the three, SK is the one that receives the least direct light, but nevertheless she's starting to grow faster. Excellent branching but sensible to the cold. Using this adjustable curved trace I stopped the apical dominance obtaining a thick plant with many well-formed branches. No need 4 feed. Happy and frosty growin for all of you ๐Ÿคž

Can you believe this is just one plant!? She may only be 12 inches tall but she be over 20 inches wide. Looks like we're done with the webcam because this week the plant has grown to fill in all the space and swamp the camera. Did a few more LST bends as new shoots would start bursting through the canopy. It really seems to stunt their growth once they get pulled away from being the solo star in the limelight. My light is just two COBs so once things get off to the side you can really see the effects of the light dropoff. Plant still looks healthy A.F., I saw one leaf that had a couple brown spots on it but it disappeared beneath new growth so fast I don't really care to do anything about it-- I think my pH might be a little low. The little sucker is growing almost an inch a day, so I've been having to raise the lights every morning. I've decided to switch to flowering light schedule to 12/12, even though I've heard that a mature plant will have nodes with leaves that alternate and this plant seems to have them still coming out at the same place. To this end I've added 10x CREE XP-E HE Photo Red diodes to supplement my 4000K COBs. COME ON BLOOMS

So the weather has finally cooled down and it has rained for the first time in weeks. The buds are all developing nicely and fattening up. The buds are ripening well and harvest time will be coming soon. The older leaves are starting to yellow and the first signs of senescence are showing as well. The plants are all sticky and smell very nice. Looking forward to the end result. Happy growing.

Hi all ๐Ÿ˜ Hope everyone keeping well and having a wonderful week! Thank you all for such amazing support on this bananas journey ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’š Will be updating this week journal daily so please remember to revisit to see full week content. So far this grow it's going great. Girls are stretching by hour. Great health, nice green colours, more and more squares taken on the netting, flowering nicely progressing, I'm very happy ๐Ÿ˜ Planning to apply more selective defoliation, especially to Xena. No changes to nutes except few extra drops of calmag just in case and will try to fill the net entirely. Week 7 Nov 27- Dec 3 Nov 27 Selective defoliation applied on Xena. 8-10 mainly small fan leaves. She is still a bit shy to open as much as her sister. No rush my girl. You still doing great! Nov 28 First watering for this week. 7ltr beetwen them both with 4h spread. Runoffs. Xena 300ml PH 6.1 Athena 250ml PH 6.4 ๐Ÿ˜. So far the largest amount of my magic mixture consumed by my ๐ŸŒ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ‘Š girls. Well done๐Ÿ‘ Nov 29-30 Leaves tucking and joyful observation๐Ÿค“ Dec 1 Selective defoliation and first stage of lolipopping on both girls. Decided to go a bit heavier as tomorrow heading for trip and wont see my girls until Tuesday! They will be all alone without any supervision so hopefully they will behave and I will be nicely surprised of their development on my return. Watered with 2tr mixture and sprayed with water and fish mix solution right after defoliation. Planning to feed them tomorrow as much possible 6-7ltr before heading off to our voyage to Amsterdam ๐Ÿ˜Ž do anyone know ls if any of coffeeshops have Fastbuds strains available? Would love to try ๐ŸŒ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ‘Š๐Ÿคค๐Ÿ˜‹ Dec 2 Girls watered as above and both PH 6.4 on runoffs. Dec 3 Girls are unsupervised until December 5th. Thank you all for such amazing support on this journey ๐Ÿ˜Š love you all!!, ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’š Stay tuned for upcoming week update right after my return. Peace and love brothers and sisters โœŒ๏ธ๐Ÿ’š

La verdad que increรญble estas flores, un sabor a caramelo con crema y notas dulces. Cogollos que si bien se recubre de hojas llenas de resina, a mรญ particularmente no es muy de mรญ agrado. Pero que estรก nevada, no lo dudo. Hermosa cosecha en interior, a seguir creciendo!

- Day 76 Another week gone by, she is definitely working towards the end now, water intake has gone down a lot, haven't had to top up the water for 2 days now. I did do a reservoir change as I do every week change. I'm guessing she will have 2-3 more weeks to go now. Definitely hoping the buds still bulk up for a while. Day 77 pH got back up to 6.7 today, just pH'd it down to 6.2 as I expect it to start dropping now the next days as it usually does. water level barely moved. Interesting how these plants can just stop drinking from one day to the next towards the end. Day 78 pH stayed pretty stable today only went to 6.3, so not gonna adjust it or top up water today, no need it. Some of the fan leaves started to really degrade really fast since yesterday, had to defoliate a bit more to clean her up. Checked the trichomes already because I was curious and i'm seeing quite a bit cloudyness already, but also a lot of clear and no amber yet. Day 79 Topped up the water, seemed like she drank a bit more again today for some reason, pH'd the water back to 6.1. Lots of fan leaves starting to die off fast now as she is nearing the end of her lifespan. Will probably start to check trichomes consistently somewhere next week. Day 80 Water was 6.2 pH today. Was enough water left in the reservoir for another day as well, so for the first time in quite a while I do not need to do anything to the water today ๐Ÿ˜…, finally an easy day haha. Figured I would also get the first trichome pics going as we are on day 80 now. Lot's of clear, seeing more cloudy ones and a tiiiny amount of amber starting to come trough! Day 81 Water got down to 5.9, so I topped up with 6.5 pH water, brought the pH back to 6.1. The buds are definitely in their final ripening phase. The pistils are all starting to become brown and curled in slowly. Fingers crossed we only got a week or so till harvest. Day 82 Just removing the dead fan leaves, topped the water backup in the res and brought pH back up from 5.9 to 6.2. Still seeing new white pistils clusters show up on the buds. Gonna wait a bit more before I check trichomes daily. Day 83 Barely seeing the water level move now, pH stayed stable at 6.2 as well. Checking trichomes, but still mostly clear/cloudy.

D57/FD29 - Thing going grand with the Cookies so far (enjoying growing these Cookie Based Strains). Smell from it is divine! Touch a stem and its a lovely citrus smell left on you for ages! Noted in a previous comment, like a perfect sweetness, fresh lemonade. You'd wear it as an aftershave alright even!!! :P They're drinking a ton but not taking on as much feed (as I've come to expect now in flower) so dropped the base and bloom by 10% (same recommended ratio of 1:1) and kept the PK9/18 booster in there at what would be recommended strength for this week...its the same as last week but week 1 (week 4 of flower) of PK9/18 should have been double...didn't want to overdo it as when I used recommended strength 1st time I got it, it created some serious root zone acidification (Which could have been all the K getting used up but was a mare getting the pH up from 4.something every day!!!). Did my usual root flush/wash before adding feed as the EC had crept up to 2.2 (and I know from experience, that starts messing with your numbers if you don't wash that out right) and took about 50L-60L to get the tank to 0.3EC (base is 0.2) was was a lot of salt sitting on/in the roots. Had a ton of underscreen dead leaf to pick up and just cut some wee straggly offshoots (I know, bad idea this late in flower but they were basically dead/no nutritional value left so basically a bug magnet). Still waiting on Bluelab to send me the RMA approved pH pen...been 2 weeks now since the RMA was approved and still no postage - using an "essentials" pH meter and just dipping in Calibration Fluids between each feed add to ensure some accuracy (As you can see from my recipe page, I like to know what the feed does to the pH - also gives an idea on what they're feeding on when you see pH swings in a different direction that expected). Geeklight also got back to me. In all fairness, I've been dealing with them direct (Got the light fixture from Alibaba, direct from China - big gamble, right???) and they have been more than helpful. I have been telling them about the light randomly coming on at 5% (lowest brightness) and provided evidence; turns out someone else now noticed the same issue with the Remote App controlled variant too and they believed it was a loose control board/wire. They said they did some stuff and that fixed it but I also thought mine was fixed by forcing the dimmer to 0% and it still randomly happened (even though it didn't do it for weeks) so the other person may still get a surprise!! ๐Ÿ˜‹ So, I took out the driver today, pulled out the control board and all wires seemed good and no looseness in the control board (although it does look slightly bent as the Spade for the IR/UV switch isn't fully bedded in). But, like I say, in all fairness to Geeklight, they're posing me a new control board tomorrow from China AND giving me the longer driver cables so as I can put the driver outside of the tent! Give me a bit more room for my Flower Initiator (and hopefully UVB Tube) and great to see them honouring the Warranty. RHC Seems to be flowering nicely as can been seen from the pics. Stacking well, buds coming along. Slight pinkish tip to the pistils on some buds but not the shocking pink as you'd see in the sales pics...hopefully it goes there though! Also noticing a bit of an early frost on a few flowers...like real good frost! And this is only day 1 of week 5 (I know, I do this diary arse about face)!!! Hoping Geeklight get this driver control board and longer cables to me quick so as I can get the driver out of the tent as I'd really like to get the UVB in there to frost them up in a week or 2!!! May only be getting about 9" clearance though so dunno, could be dangerous!!! 12" is the lowest recommended...but then, I could do the 15 min burst lighting (On 15, off 45 min every hour) so lower the risk of burn but get them more exposure (but lowers the lifetime of the tube). They get UVA from the LED's on the light at the moment for a 1/3 of the day and have been since early veg so should be hardened to it by now!!! Anyway, think that's enough s**te chatted by me!!! Happy growing all!!! ๐Ÿ’ช

Welcome guys Finally here we are with the conclusion of this cycle with two NICOLE KUSH ๐Ÿ‘ฑโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿ‘ฑโ€โ™€๏ธ๐ŸŒฑ Version from @supersiberia seed bank I have growed all two in the same way (lights, pot, nutrients ecc) One of them was more sweet in the aroma, but each one with a kushy base Anyway, back to the harwest time ๐Ÿ‘‡ The plants is placed for entirely in a cupboard upside down, after the cut, with the leaves still attached.. After about seven / ten days, when the leaves were pretty dry, the flowers crunchy, but before the branches break cleanly...I cleaned all the buds thoroughly, I cut them off the branches and put them back inside of a brown bag. .for about a day / two Later I placed everything in a classic glass jar For 24h I left it closed โณ Then I started opening it several times a day More or less, after about three weeks, I usually close the jar permanently and wait a few more weeks to start using the flowers ๐Ÿ”ฅ About taste and effects ๐Ÿ‘‡ The flavors in smoking are exactly the same you can smell in each one..is good but in the long time i prefer different Kush strain.. The most sweetness one has a taste like the terpenes you can find in a strain like Critical or skunk.. Not my favorites ๐Ÿ™Œ The effect is pretty relaxing and staying chill Body stoned Is not my first choise but in the end is enjoyable The plant in growing is also great to see Nice dense buds with a good amount of stickiness ๐Ÿ‘Œ I have growed her in a 3,5l airpot (not the original) with organic liquids nutrients, added in to a soil / cocco / humus and perlite base But if you want to learn more about, check out all my previous weeks ๐Ÿ“† I want to thanks @supersiberia for the seeds ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘ And to @growdiaries for make this possible ๐Ÿ™ FC โœŒ๏ธ ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡น

I harvested at 30% amber trics..it snuck up on me fast, I assumed she was an 8 week strain at minimum but I was wrong..i don't take wet weight of buds so I'll update final weight in approx 10 days, happy growing!

Ok start of week 4 of veg. I have topped the front 2 and fim the back 2, not 100% sure if I fim the back too right or got to close and ended up topping lol will have too see. They have responded well to it though. I done it on sat and today (Monday) they already starting to bush more. Will do a defoliate this weekend to get rid of some of the big ass fan leafs but so far all seems to be going great. Happy growing to you all ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿป

Amelie has settled in well in the new tent and has gained 4cm in height this week. As she had been standing on the piano by the window under a 7W lamp for a really long time, waiting for a tent to finally become available, she had produced a lot of leaf material. This now had to come down. On 08.03.25 I therefore lollipopped and did some defoliation on the leaf canopy. Now it is nice and airy again and can concentrate fully on flowering. Incidentally, the pistils were already visible on 03.03., 8 days after the start of flowering. I had sent the mother into flowering in the previous run and fed her with Biobizz Grow/Bloom/Calmag and Plagron Green Sensation. As I still have a sample of Biobizz Topmax here, I thought I'd give it a try and see what effect it has on the taste. It's supposed to be sweeter, I've heard.

The Final Stretch: Heavyweights & The Big Flush! โ›ฝ๐ŸฅŠ We are officially in the final countdown, and the tent is putting on a spectacular show! The plants are spending their absolute last energy packing density and resin onto these colas, and it shows. Current Parameters & Adjustments: Nutrients (EC): Iโ€™ve been gradually tapering off the feed, and the EC is now down to a very clean 0.75. We are in the final flushing phase, letting the plants cannibalize their remaining stored nutrients for the smoothest, cleanest burn possible. Lighting (PPFD): Dropped the light intensity down to ~500 PPFD. This crucial step protects those precious, highly volatile terpenes from the summer heat and perfectly mimics the late-season sun to push the final ripening. Current Status in the Tent: The biggest update this week? Gravity is taking its toll! The buds have gotten so incredibly dense and heavy that the branches can no longer support their own weight. The colas are literally leaning and flopping over across the tent. Itโ€™s an absolute beautiful mess and arguably the best "problem" a grower can have at this stage! Looking Ahead: Based on the current trichome development, we are looking at about 5 to 7 days left before harvest. Just keeping the airflow dialed in on maximum and monitoring them daily now until the big chop. Let's finish strong! โœ‚๏ธ๐ŸŒฟโ„๏ธ
