Welcome to week 3 of veg. They’ve been growing about 1” per day lately. I’m planning to SCROG these three girls with a portable scrog screen. Supplies arrive today and I’m anxious to test this. (Note that my portable scrog screen didn’t work, so I’m using a 2x4 stretch screen). So far the self watering feeders are working well. The reservoir ph does tend to climb, so I make regular adjustments by adding RO water to the nutrient mix and using ph down. The PPM of the nutrients is climbing too, so adding RO dilutes that. As an example, it had climbed from 925 ppm to 1080 ppm overnight. I diluted it back down to 880 ppm. Saturday: installed scrog net Sunday: checked reservoir ph (6.4) and ppm (970). Added ph down. Adjusted scrog net. Discoloration in leaves appears to be worsening. Waiting for a new dehumidifier to arrive. With all of the humidity that the fiber pots put off, I’m going to need a dehumidifier in flower. Monday: ran pipes for humidifier, heater and dehumidifier through a different tent outlet. I’m ready to start dehumidifying at flower flip. Removed humidifier since I won’t need it until after the harvest (I dry in my tent ideally). Topped off reservoir water with a heavy emphasis on CalMag. Reservoirs are at a ph of 6.0 and 750ppm. Lowered ppm due to start of burnt leaf tips on one plant. Wednesday. Lowered ph in reservoir from 6.4 to 6.1 with ph down and diluted nutrients. Lowered ppm from 780 to 700. Removed growth below the SCROG net. Adjusted lighting to a DLI of 35 which proved too intense for the plants, so I backed it down to 30 DLI. Thursday: wrapped up the week by giving them a foliar spray after lights went out. Feeding 5ml/g or CalMag and 30ml/g of Seaweed Extract. Topped off reservoirs using 6ml/g of micro, 9ml/g of Bloom, Seaweed and 2ml CalMag.

All 4 plants in the tent came out wonderful but this diary is about smoothie!!! Very happy with the outcome of the plant. Very very caked with trichs, very flavorful and smells amazing. I wouldnt complain if the yield was slightly higher but not a big concern as the flower is PREMO. This strain hits me quite hard personally and wont be smoking it durning the day too much, specially days when work needs to get done lol but thats all good another strain in the tent can take care of that. No complaints here, happy with my bounty! On to the next run! Thanks everyone who followed along! See you on the next grow!

The girls have survived another week ❤️ I did a light defoliation and have been monitoring the RH closely. We have had a very damp week here, and the RH kept climbing and had my fan working hard. They are starting to plump up and fill in 😋. They have also started to slow their drinking habits, instead of watering every three days, it has moved to every 4 now. Just a couple of weeks left, I think I will be harvesting these over Christmas 🎄, and will have some great bud ready for the new year! 🎉🎊🍾

Aloha Freunde der Sonne 😊 Heute wurde das letzte Mal so richtig entlaubt. Nicht ganz Lollipop aber für mich reicht das vorerst. Ich muss klar sagen das ich noch nie so einen schönen Geruch in der Nase hatte. Ich freue mich auf die Ernte. Viel Spaß 🙏

She is much prettier than she was a week ago :) I remembered that I have my first grow light, which is more compact and it will give me more space, so I changed my light, now the girl's side branches get light too:) I add a lot of video memes, because I really want to win Iphone16 pro ;) and those who don't take risks don't drink champagne:) good luck to everyone.

1/21/24 - Day 76 - Everything is looking good still. Today is water change day! This time i was out at the box during the change. Everything went well. I did install a new temperature sensor to replace the old one. Also I installed a new C, and PH- bottle. 1/23/24 - Day 78 - I noticed the buds are starting to fatten up. They kind of grow in little nodules sticking out from the main bud site. Its really cool to see. I added some pictures up top! Ill update on some more pictures in the next couple of days. 1/25/24 - Day 80 - The buds are getting fatter and the smell is getting super pungent. Everything is going as planned. I need to start scoping it to check for color. We are still a long ways from starting the flush but it time to start looking!

Wanted to try and grow my first autoflowers without any equipment. Natural sun in my terrace was more than enough for these plants to grow without any difficulty.

The Titan is creating more buds by the day and the smell is great. Flowery with hint of citrus. Beside a few bugs eating her leafs there is no problem at all. With temperatures rising in the greenhouse during the day she drinks a lot. This is not an issue as I can check up on her a few times a day and provide water when needed. The ant infestation has been solved thanks to the neem oil and I see no signs of thrips and other pests. So far so good 😊

Nicer weather, strange how different the two plants are. Girl scout cookie is very bushy, but no real flowers yet. Kush is tall and thin with much less foliage, but far more flowers.

Easy harvest single plant super dense and honestly it couldn't have gone smoother. I am debating removing the popcorn bud or revegging it... either way the main tops were the biggest buds I've harvested yet covering my entire palm. I will be growing this in the future I won't log the grow however. This pheno I believe is one of a kind and I likely won't be as pleased with a second run. The sungro#4 I grew in was excellent too and honestly I am seeing the relation between quality and the medium being used. I will be using this medium for a while. Until the final dry weight is In, Happy Growing and Happy Toking! -TRAGIC OUT- Update water curing was the best end result and will be the way I cure all my flower.

Hello, it’s another week report. All plants grew in height like nuts and gained aprox. 20 cm. The AMG’s Sativa genetics is now coming to all its shine and she’s much bigger compared to Green gelatos. They’ve came into the flowering stage and I expect some big buds as they will be developing. Thanks everybody to stopping by 🙏🤪 Happy growing. Update: made another photo in the tent - what a lovely view. I could sit and enjoy watching these ladies. Have my fingers crossed for AMG to slowly stop growing to the top of my tent 🍀

Hi all🧑‍🌾 Welcome to my final 🍌💜👊 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 all❤️💜💚 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 🙏❤️💜❤️ Peace and love brother and sisters ✌️💚🧑‍🌾 Smoke review coming in shortly Links https://2fast4buds.com/seeds/banana-purple-punch-auto https://plagron.com https://www.biobizz.com/ https://fishheadfarms.com/
