Most ladies are showing signs of flowering so today I will start counting the weeks. Here u can also see my mutant/special ladies. They germinated a bit different from the others. Day 3 of flower is showing some major progressโ€ผ๏ธ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿฝ I did NOT top any of these mutated plants. I only removed some very ugly growing leaves. So everything u see on them is done by mother nature.

Hi all๐Ÿง‘โ€๐ŸŒพ Welcome to my final ๐ŸŒ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ‘Š week update. First of all. I would like to thank you all for such an amazing support on this bananas journey. I am amazed of the amount of love received from community here. Thank you Grow Diaries and Fastbuds for opportuniy to share and grow this amazing genetics. Love you allโค๏ธ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ’š Was looking for strong indica dominant strain and after reading and hearing so much about this one. Just couldn't resist to not give a go. Was a bit worried before planting seeds that my final yield outcome may not be satisactionary as only have 0.26msq and Fastbuds advertising this strain as 450-550g msq but thankfuly my result was way above this scale. My 2 beautiful ladies Athena - right corner lady. She was slighlthly more dominant over entire grow cycle. She got more space on scrog earlier and that's why she developed the most. Xena - left corner lady, I belive that she could outgrew her sister if she just have more space and another week of time. Did not expect her to turn so well on the end. Both girls were put in darkness for 48h before chop. Wet trimmed and hang for a week. Daily jars burbing for 10 days and every 2-4 days now. Weights Wet trimmed Athena 870g Xena 632g Total 1502g Dry trimmed Athena 172g Xena 147g Total dry 319g Bubble hash 6g (37g of trims) I am very happy with this result. In my opinion Banana Purple Punch Auto its a masterpiece. Thank you so much for all the support, likes, follows and comments ๐Ÿ™โค๏ธ๐Ÿ’œโค๏ธ Peace and love brother and sisters โœŒ๏ธ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿง‘โ€๐ŸŒพ Smoke review coming in shortly Links https://2fast4buds.com/seeds/banana-purple-punch-auto https://plagron.com https://www.biobizz.com/ https://fishheadfarms.com/

Beginning of week.. As you can see.. The leaves tend to kinda curl.. Its weird.. She'll will be dry asf.. Like the whole cup is lighter than air.. Then as soon as I water, the leaves curl like this.. Is this rootbound? Lol.. Idk.. Maybe.. I can tell by the drainage that the roots are pretty massive in there.. Last time I grew this strain, the roots were fucking massive.. Lets see how this goes! The leaves will end up straightening out today.. But I dont like stressin my ladies! Pistils have been poppin out for at least a week now.. I think she's gonna flower very soon! Next day.. So here is a clone of her.. Just to see what happens.. I may use it to make some feminized pollen with it.. And hopefully inbreed it, as long as everything is timed out right it should be pretty simple. Anyways.. Gave the mama a little haircut.. Removed the fan leaves.. Her canopy is already so perfect.. When one branch is shorter than the others I bend her down and keep her on the side where the light is a bit weaker. She ends up stretching while the longer branches are under the heavier light and they dont stretch much so it gives the shorter branches motivation to stretch lol.. Gotta finesse her lol she loves it! She hasnt been showing any of those "drooping" stress signs anymore.. Before of after watering.. I had another strain do the same before but was perfectly fine afterward.. Just a fluke for a day or some shit idk lol.... Aaand back to the clone.. You can see how the branches werent coming out the same as the others.. The symmetry was off.. That's why I chopped it off.. Wish I woulda just cloned the whole top now.. Lol.. Oh well.. Im sure itll do SoMeThInG lol Mid week.. Went ahead and removed a couple more leaves.. Now it just tops.. Nothing else.. Next week will FOR SURE be week 1 of flower.. She is spittin out pistils like crazy. There is one node on one branch that is missing a leaf.. It has 2 stiples and 2 calyxes.. But no leaf lol.. Crazy.. Other than that.. Shes trucking along.. My last WW Auto took a similar beating.. This girl should be fine after this awful haircut lol.. I just want her to have nothing but tops.. End of week.. She seems happy and healthy.. Only thing I can see is a little nute burn on the leaf tips.. I haven't done much to try and avoid it.. I should probably back off on something.. Next week I will have a better idea! Next week is week 1 of flower.. Haven't noticed much stretching.. If any at all.. But again.. She seems happy and healthy!!! ... On to the next...

Great week overall, environment working very well and maintaining temp even on hot summer days - 33C outside! Humidity is too high at night when the extractor switches off. Plug timer need to run from 10pm to 4am. Reduced pump to 1 min fill as planned Took reservoir from 22L to 17L to save chems and avoid spillage as roots grow. As they fill their pot I was finding progressively larger puddles every morning Video of rootball and Flood and Drain in action Scrog net finally arrived after being delayed in the mail by a month :D Had a go at FIMing, waiting on results Raised lamps by 5cm Green leaves showing no signs of burn Roots looking healthy and well developed I keep getting too enthusiastic with the pH+ and always have to top-up with water to raise the level back. No more than 0.5ml needed at each test.

Before i started this Grow i was reading into several Diaries, To know how they perform. IN the most Diaries the Plant remained short and stocky..... But in onee the Plants went huuuge,,, iam very happy that i saw this and was warned. I kept the Vegetation short,,,,,,and moved into flower End of Week 5 From now on these Ladies were shooting like crazy, i could do some LST, but thatt did not stop them so they ended in around 80 cm hight and in later Flower i had to Support the Branches, because of the Big Buds Buds good Point, Nicely sized, very dense Buds, growing veryy symmetric around the Stems Dense and supersticky, looong Trichomes they were very thirsty......( 1l per Day)--- and I added a Blooming feeding with 3ml/l organic Bloom Liquid, and 2 ml/l Orghaqnicc more PK They took everything like champs.... eating and drinking like there is no Tomorrow One was harvested earlier ( she was ready) the 2 others yesterday....iam very fine with the Outcome SMOKING: : :

Dear friends, Please consider this week as Harvest, I divide the two plants below the explanation. We have arrived at the time of harvest for our two Runtz I divide them respectively in the last two weeks to help you distinguish them and because having shot a lot I would like you to look carefully at what we are talking about and please deepen the vision of the trichomes that characterize each plant. They seem similar but you can notice differences and in the macros also look at other details such as the surface of the leaves, really very beautiful. The plants are not giants by definition, this is a very stable strain with not very high heights, the yield is always medium high but the strong point is certainly the quality of the flower: density, hardness and above all scary resin combined with a super romantic purple shade arrived with the cold in the final. Beautiful plant, beautiful main cola. Mature very red pistils resin overflowing for real. The purple color is really super beautiful I prepare a nice video where I show it to you. The trichomes are multicolored due to the presence of purple, here too we have stuff from pink to fuchsia to dark purple plus the classic colors, the maturation is at a point that I don't mind at all. In weight we will be around 30 - 40 grams but of excellent quality, let's wait for the dry sla and see. Perfect strain compliments to Zamnesia breeder. Most likely nowadays those who give the impression of doing Cannabis Industry manage to provide a product of extreme quality much more than the small breeders who are all stealing strains from California and crossing them with their little experiments. It is no longer the era of the flower children although we have to thank them for the anarchic work they did in the 60s and 70s now it's time to work well, cannabis is spreading all over the world and you can compete with the Americans only by working well, like they do in Zamnesia. How can I prove it to you? In the years in which I was a tester the breeders made me try a lot of good stuff but often, very often, too often I found hermaphrodites. Now always bringing up good luck, touching wood, where the sun don't shine, doing all the appropriate spells of the case we are at ZERO HERMAPHRODITES. No seeds, no balls, nothing at all and after all the years that I have heard the "expert freaks" of breeding talk now I feel like recommending the seeds of the industries much more than the small houses. I thank all the good operators of small houses and I apologize to them but I will never grow their stuff again there is an exaggerated percentage of hermaphrodites. The industries whether you like it or not guarantee success rates much much better. Especially for the wave of beginners arriving. Zamnesia Strain Description // Guys, we have really reached a turning point! Our breeders have recreated one of the most sought-after strains by Californians: the very powerful and exquisitely delicious Runtz. This cross between Gelato and Zkittlez is everything you could want from a cannabis strain: tasty, powerful, balanced, productive and fast flowering. Buy the seeds and try it yourself! - Get a seed of this fantastic strain --- https://www.zamnesia.io/it/6000-zamnesia-seeds-runtz-femminizzato.html The plant has eaten the 100% Organic feeding of Plagron: Alga Grow and Alga Bloom as basic nutrients, the rooting Power Roots, the amino acids of Sugar Royal, the Enzymes of Pure Zym that eat the dead parts in the soil, Power Buds that always gives us immense satisfaction with rapidity of start of flowering and composition of the buds, the legendary Green Sensation that now needs no introduction, a name a guarantee. Also the foliar Vita Race used for the first time with success. The fertilizer kits that you can find on the Zamnesia website are perfect for this purpose, there is everything. Choose them based on their mineral/organic composition and the soil you have chosen. at the link --- https://www.zamnesia.io/it/11457-plagron-easy-pack-natural.html The quantity was measured using the sheet prepared on purpose on the Plagron website based on the soil chosen: Plagron Pro Mix + Perlite. at the link --- https://plagron.com/en The growbox is the DS120w by Secret Jardin as well as the DF16 ventilation system and all the fans at the link --- https://www.secretjardin.com/it/ The light was supplied in the past by Viparspectra and it went crazy but it came back to me to produce very well too... at the link --- https://www.viparspectra.com A fantastic selection of seeds, a headshop and a selection of exceptional accessories on the world of cannabis, many other things about mushrooms, health, well-being and all the beautiful things that nature offers only on the Zamnesia website at the link --- www.zamnesia.com Instagram ---- @zam.nesia - @zamnesiawebshop - @zamnesia_usa - @bread_n_buds

OK guys I was away for a week so this week we are at the end of week 4 veg instead of the beginning of the week. There was a boom growth period and the taller Punch 2 has bent herself to avoid getting burnt as she is 30cm tall, the other Punch 1 is 20cm tall and seems fine. I have just given them a watering with calmag and just a drop of PK ratio 13-14. I have also ramped up the lamp to 100% and put it at 55cm from the top of the plants. I'm hoping they will soon switch to flower guys fingers crossed. ๐ŸŽ„

Week 17 from Seed | Week 7 Flower โ€” The Golden Fade This week marks a beautiful and emotional moment in the life of our White OG by Seedsman. We are officially in the final flush phase, giving her only pure water and sheโ€™s responding like a queen entering her autumn gown. The colors are fading into rich yellows, softening greens, and warm hues. Natureโ€™s final brushstrokes before the masterpiece is complete. Water Only Feeding โ€” Final Flush: pH: Unchanged, slightly adjusted if needed EC: Close to 0 โ€” just water Water Temp: 19.4ยฐC Weโ€™ve stopped all nutrients this week. No more Aptus Clean Program, just clean, clear water to allow the plant to naturally fade, use up her internal resources, and cleanse any residual nutrients from the soil and tissues. This is a crucial step to ensure smooth, clean-tasting medicine after cure, one that respects the soil, the roots, and the flowers. Why Water Only Now Stopping nutrients in the final week helps: Prevent harsh or chemical flavors Encourage natural color shifts (which sheโ€™s showing beautifully!) Signal to the plant that itโ€™s time to finish up, ripening faster, cleaner Allow for full terpene and cannabinoid expression Sheโ€™s showing all the signs of readiness: golden fades, receding pistils, and a crystal blanket thick enough to catch dreams. This is the last breath before harvest, and itโ€™s poetic, really. โธป Gratitude and Shoutouts: To our amazing sponsors: @Seedsman for this legendary White OG, @Aptus Holland for the clean and powerful feeding line, @Future of Grow and the Black Series 600W LED, for guiding this flower to glory. To the GrowDiaries family, lovers, haters, learners, sharers โ€” thank you for walking beside us in this grow journey. Follow along for the final harvest reveal next week Next stop: Harvest. Weโ€™re almost there, my dear. Thank you for bringing me along on this beautiful ride. Letโ€™s make the next one unforgettable. With love and roots, Your always-ready companion DD As always thank you all for stopping by, for the love and for it all , this journey of mine wold just not be the same without you guys, the love and support is very much appreciated and i fell honored and so joyful with you all in my life ๐Ÿ™โ€จ With true love comes happiness ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ™ Always believe in your self and always do things expecting nothing and with an open heart , be a giver and the universe will give back to you in ways you could not even imagine so ๐Ÿ’šโ€จโ€จ Friendly reminder all you see here is pure research and for educational purposes only ๐Ÿ’šGrowers Love To you All and remember to keep that smile big and alive ๐Ÿ’š

The Cookie Girls are doing great ๐Ÿ˜Š Overall, Iโ€™m very pleased with the results so far. At day 8 I stopped tucking the branches and allowed them to grow up. In hindsight, I probably should have kept going for another couple of days. They continued to stretch rapidly all the way up to date 12 or so. At day 10 I cleaned up some of the small bud sites and leaves that were below the 1st trellis. These sites do not get enough light to make anything good, and take away energy from the main tops as they grow and compete. At day 12 I decided to add a second trellis net to provide support to the tops that came up so fast. They seem to have stopped their main stretch faze, and are looking happy and healthy now. Iโ€™ve continued my water, water, feed schedule and have not seen any cause for concern. The girls are taking a little over a gallon of water every 72 hours at this point. Humidity is being controlled automatically with my in-line fan and humidifier. RH is set to 57% and temps hover between 77-80 degrees with lights on, and about 70-72 with light off thanks to my furnace being back on for the cooler temps. The 2x4 5 gallon girl is doing great as well. ๐Ÿ˜ŠDuring the stretch, while I tucked, I snapped more than a couple of tops off, but the plant continues to thrive. She is going to have some great bud, the branch structure is nicely developed with tight node spacing. Iโ€™ve been plucking off all the lower growth, and tucking leaves as they block bud sites. Will be doing a defoliation next week. Happy Gardening ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‘Šโค๏ธ

11/22 Week 14 One has fallen five remain FFT-11-1 is in dry Rate of harvest as much weather driven as anything dont want a lot exposed at once. Planning every 2-3 days FFT-10 is in full bud building mode still so keeping the pedal down on them with a 10/10 finishing feed till we see some closure on those buds. FFT-9 is really showing great color purple so deep almost black water only FFT-11-2 is waiting her turn water only 11/23 pics Harvest FFT-11-2 in the morning 11/24 Yield on FFt-11-1 : 189 grams dry FFt-11-2 in dry (1100 grams wet) 11/25 Unless the weather turns on us will harvest both FFt-9s tomorrow FFt-11-2 still in dry be finished tomorrow 11/27 The FFT-10 stands alone , showing signs of ending, putting them on a finishing feed and reduce as the buds close 11/28 Welp those signs of ending backed off and she making buds heavy again. Go girls go not reducing feed till this goes as far as it will zero pressure to harvest. Lights on pics Built a better jute cage for FFT-10-2 she is very wide and there was a danger of branches breaking from weight of buds. Increased Bloom and Peak PK hitting them a bit harder as dont want noticeable def beginning until I want them as much as practical. Buds still spikey and hairs strong though seem a few less its not much. Seems every time we switch up our PK for them it triggers another round of production. See what what when they begin to slow again. This is fun dont get to do this... ever... no space pressure finally although thats due to problems in germ more than my design going forward I think. Plants are at max par being under their individual ts-2000s so I killed the side lights not doing a lot anyway with the tent near empty 11/30 At lights on the buds seem to be slowing, reducing the Bloom nuets and PK after a single hard hit to see if they pick up

420Fastbuds FBT2307 Week 6 What up grow fam week 6 update for these 3 lovely ladies. In the past week they've grown quite a bit not only upwards but filling in nice after the last defoliation. Seeing preflower sites all over which is always a pleasant site. Color on them are a nice green, how ever I did notice some rust spots showing up on a few leafs so I upped the calmag when feeding to 1tsp/gal. It seem to resolve that issue. I also fed a molasses tea this week to help the microbes in the soil allowing the plant easier access to notes needed. All in all Happy Growing

๐Ÿ“… D43 - 26/09 ๐Ÿ“œNew res and new light setup (only bloom lights): so T decreased and I need to take under control the H. Changed res with flowering mix. EC is 2 and pH 6. Removed SCroG net. โœ๏ธ 2 EC โ™’ 6 pH ๐ŸŒŠ 10 L ๐Ÿ“ 50 cm ๐Ÿ“… D44 - 27/09 ๐Ÿ“œ Posed a new SCroG net over the buds, only to give a support and guide the buds. As EC is raising, today I will give her only 2 L of water with only calmag and hydroguard. I purchased another lamp, that will arrive tomorrow with dimmers both on bloom and veg lights โœ๏ธ 2,2 EC โ™’ 6 pH ๐ŸŒŠ 10 L ๐Ÿ“ 55 cm ๐Ÿ“… D45 - 28/09 ๐Ÿ“œ Added of fresh water as the EC is raising too much. Let see if I've to add more later, trying to take EC under control. pH is quite stable , but it always goes decreasing and never raising. NEw lamp setup: I've purchased one that seems really good with 2 dimmers for both VEG and BLOOM lights. Very compact but powerful. Now I put bloom dimmer on 100% and veg dimmer on 80%. I'm not sure about the light time: the product sheet say 9-12/24 but now I'm 18/24. I will sniff around others diary to see what to do. โœ๏ธ 1,8 EC โ™’ 5,9 pH ๐ŸŒŠ 9 L ๐Ÿ“ 60 cm ๐Ÿ“… D46 - 29/09 ๐Ÿ“œ Added 1 other L. of fresh water and stabilize the EC 0n 1,5 and pH 6.1 I decided to keep the ligths on 18/24.
