Growing Apple & Bananas was a breeze. The plants showed impressive resistance throughout the entire grow, handling stress and minor fluctuations with ease. They responded especially well to lollipopping — that technique really brought out their best structure and boosted the final yield. Speaking of yield, it was definitely on the higher side, with dense, resinous buds that were a pleasure to trim. In terms of potency, the effects sit comfortably in the mid-range. It’s not overwhelming, but still delivers a pleasant, balanced high that’s perfect for relaxed afternoons or casual social sessions. What really stands out, though, is the flavor. Apple & Bananas lives up to its name with a sweet, fruity profile that mixes apple-like freshness with tropical banana notes — smooth, tasty, and easy on the lungs. Overall, this is a great strain for growers looking for reliability, high yields, and a deliciously sweet terpene profile. While it’s not the strongest hitter out there, its combination of flavor, simplicity, and resilience makes Apple & Bananas a solid choice for both beginners and experienced growers alike.

In week 4 the plants are repotted into 15 liter containers. First 2 cm of expanded clay-pebbles come into each pot for better drainage. Then I use light-mix to fill up the pot and add the BIO-TABs fertilizer tablets to the ground (2 per pot). 75 gram Startrex per container mixed into soil, 5 gram Mycotrex per container mixed into soil, 1 gram Bactrex and 5 ml Orgatrex per liter water are added as well (following the recommendations of Bio-Tabs). Each plant is potted in the center of the pot and then watered well. I put them into my HOMEBOX grow-tent and under my SANlight EVO4-120 LEDs. The lamps are at 75 cm distance from the top of the plants and tilted inwards by 11 degree (as recommended by SANlight for this area).

Week 6! This is a seed from this mix (https://www.dutch-headshop.eu/auto-rainbow-mix-private-label-5-cannabis-seeds), and I started the others about two and a half weeks before this one. I can see the others started flowering this week, but this one seems content to keep vegging out. The others had smaller pots and shared resources, so this makes sense. It's going to be very hot and bright here this week, which is terrible for me, but lovely for the weedlings. The shape is like a lovely squatty Christmas tree. I'd grow it again so it'd be at this stage for the holidays, but we'll be back to sunup at 10AM and sundown at 4PM by then :/

Big week! I got my new EarthBoxes and a bunch of goodies. I picked up the Probiotic Farmer's Alliance kit from BuildASoil, so I also got some EM-1, Kashi Blend, dolomite lime and Malibu compost. Alongside that I picked up Colorado Worm Compost (vermicompost), Gnarley Barley (malted barley, corn and hemp) and Craft Blend (aprox 3-5-2 organic mix). Unfortunately there was a bag of soil missing, so I ended up using my own mix though I am somewhat scared of it being too clay-heavy for the SIP. I inoculated with EM-1 and began fermenting a batch of activated EM-1 to make the bottle last longer. It looks about a week from LST, after that I hope to set up a two-tier SCROG setup and begin growing the bushes. I will begin spraying AEM-1/EM-FPE/EM-5 alternatively once a week for IPM, I will try to avoid using neem this round (unless I find this approach lacking). I also brewed a batch of EM-FPE with aloe that smells incredible, I can't wait to give it a go.

Having quite a bit of trouble with fading leaves, burning and just can't figure out what is going on. I've top dressed on Saturday to try give her a boost, it looks like potassium deficiency but it also looks a touch like toxicity too... very confusing.... so what I'm going to do is just give water until the end now. 4 weeks ish should be ok and I reckon I can limp her home if shit hits the fan. Hoping its just deficiency and the top dress will fix it. I've not overfed with amendments so I don't understand it really. The buds are still growing no problem and calyx are starting to swell in places... all a bit weird.

9/1 Update: Welcome back to my garden! Thanks for following me on this 16 strain photoperiod SOG grow adventure! If you're just joining us. We have 18 photoperiod seedlings in the tent. 16 of them will go into 12"X12" square pots in a 4x4 sea of green. I plan to top once just above the third node. I will also allow the 2 shoots from the second node to grow with the top two to form 4 main colas. The Gorilla x Cookies sprouted 8/26! STILL nothing from Jenny Kush. Weak-sauce! The garden is happy and healthy! I am going to transplant this upcoming weekend into 6" x 6" square pots so they have room to stretch their legs and build a nice foundation before going into bloom. With Jenny seemingly out if the running, we have 17 seedlings and 2 of them are regular seeds. Hopefully at least one of the two will be female. I am going to say both will be little ladies! If we have an extra female she will veg a bit longer to go on the other side of the 4'x8' bloom tent. That's all I have to report today! Thanks for stopping by my garden! Please check out my other diaries & give me a follow! Happy growing my friends! ☺️🌱 Peace, ☮️ Love, 💚 and Frosty Nugs! ❄️🌲 - Fo' Twenny

9 plants, 5 different strains, 3 different seed banks. So yeah, some background info.. I was going to go 6 girls in 15l pots at first for even distribution but fucked up the germination process sticking them seeds eagerly straight to soil and some didn't germinate and some took almost two weeks to push above soil so I popped a few more and here we are. Oldest ones are about 6-7weeks old and the rest are around 3-4weeks.. not sure about exact days since I wasn't planning on running a diary but then again figured it could be helpful IF(when) running into problems. Been mainlining/topping/defoliating/binding when necessary to keep them at pretty much the same height before flipping the switch. First photos shown here are from the last session of high stress training.. now we're just playing the waiting game for them to recover and then it's off to flowering time baby! This week is the first time dem bitches have been getting the full recommended dosage of Bio-Bizz nutrients I still have available (bought the "try-pack" for best bang for buck.) Gonna run out of root-juice and bio-heaven after next watering but think that's ay-ok since we're going to flowering anyways and in the last grows haven't really seen any notable difference using the insanely expensive bio-heaven. Fucked up topping few plants taking "wrong" nodes being way too drunk but we'll see how it goes. Also start of this week is the first day I hanged Viparspectra V900 to accompany Mars Hydro TSW-2000 which has done an amazing job so far!😍😍 Using only the blue grow spectrum on the V900 for the recovery since I know from experience the bloom mode runs hot as fuck and I still need to figure out how to improve the airflow in the cabin without ruining good nights sleep. Day 3: After last trimming session Girls are recovering quite nicely. Watered today and just like I suspected ran out of root-juice and bio-heaven, the runtier Sunset Sherbet didn't get to taste any of that sweet sweet nectar:( Everyone took about the same amount of water (2l) with pretty much no runoff so boy were they thirsty. SS runt was having a little bit of trouble drinking since the soil was way too dry and had become a bit hydrophobic but with patience took it all like a champ. Had to remove some of the bindings to avoid snapping the stems but looks like they're still at pretty even height. OG Kush has a trunk thicker than my thumb already although she's less than 20cm high! Ditched the tower fan from taking up too much space and replaced it with Garden Highpro oscillating clip-fan which is like a frigging hurricane even at lvl1! Lets see how it affects the temps which are quite high after adding the Viparspectra: topping at almost 30c during the last hours of day and I'm not even using the red blooming leds yet!😐 Still giving them the full 4ml/l of bio-grow every feeding but I'm thinking about cutting it back a bit since ran out of the snakeoils and not sure yet does that affect the uptake in a bad manner. Been also foliar feeding them w/ bio-grow every second day with 1-1.25ml/l to keep the humidity at around 60-70% all times and they seem to like it, leaves are nice dark green colored. Realized just how tightly packed the tent will be so I'm going to put them into flowering as soon as they have at least 2-3 healthy nodes per branch so guessing at around start of the next week. Probably going to defoliate most of the leaf mass day before flipping the switch.. might even get excited enough to try schwazzing 1-2 plants since I've never tried that technique before and I really need to promote some airflow. Day 4: Well that lasted long.. The fan cut its lead wires loose while oscillating because the cable clamps were set too tight straight out of the package, not giving it enough slack to turn full cycle.. Goddamn it.. Seems like an easy fix but got no time to start tinkering before going to work so I'll get it replaced by tomorrow and hope I wont get a dud made on mondays. Cranked up the inline duct fan a bit to compensate the loss of airflow and temps are staying in the 28C range but there's definitely some hotspots forming.. hopefully that leads to nothing too serious.

04/23/2022 I think lemon OG is done Give her a few days more, Biscotti Skunk, grape skunk about 2 -3 weeks out, the Biscotti Skunk has very strong camphor mothballs smell. Not quite sure what to think of her hope buds fill out well. Grape Skunk is doing a bit better but lemon og has performed best in my specific micro climate, others have more flowering to. If I'm going 63 days in flower it might as well be a Sativa variety.

Couldn’t be happier, pictures and video speaks a thousand words. Absolutely top tier cannabis, people that I have shown and smoked actually thought it was from Cali packs. Top work barneys top work👍

Pistols, Pistols, Pistols, seen the flowers began to develop, she stretched lot last night, feb7-8 ir video uploaded. Took all the excess leaves off my girl

Nuggets are heavy and frosty they can go little longer tho still some clear tricomes and white pastilles should be prime next week They are frosty and glittery more every day now so almost ready.

Today is day 57 I flipped them to flower on day 55, responded so well to all the things they've had done, topping, tie downs, defoliations, they look really good especially the bigger of the 2,.. roll on next week

Day 42-49 (Day 42) Just watered today but couldn’t go until runoff because I didn’t have enough RO. I forgot to add the probiotic too. Nonetheless, everything is starting to recover from those weird deficiencies and is looking super healthy. Plants are really bushing out now too. I had to top the zkittlez and BBB#3 again as they are just getting too big. Nothing is definitively showing sex yet but I’m seeing clues. Shouldn’t be long now. If I get 4 females or less I will use 10gal pots, 5-7 fem 5gal pots and 8-12 3gal pots. I need to stop overwatering. Even though it doesn’t look too overwatered, it is much better to water a little bit each day at lights on. This will help keep the humidity down as well as deliver optimal oxygen to the roots speeding up plant growth considerably. (Day 45) Gave an EM1 spray down today. The beneficial bacteria is said to overpopulate surfaces so powdery mildew and septoria can’t form. Something seems to be really working as I haven’t seen any yet. (Day 47) I sealed up the tent and am running both dehumidifiers and it’s keeping the RH around a safe 70% night and day which is right on track with VPD. Plants are all looking super healthy. Deficiencies have pretty much all cleared up. Cold nights I’m running 600w and warmer nights I’ll run 400w. I was asking around Instagram about white ash/good burn and a few different people assured me it has to do with mineral content of the soil. I was told the three best products for clean ash is glacial rock dust/basalt, oyster shell flour and langbeinite. I already have langbeinite so I’ll grab the other amendments today and top dress. I grabbed the amendments and also got some Destiny Organics dark matter super soil, coco and some beneficial nematodes. Top dressed each amendment except langbeinite and mulched in some coco coir. (Day 48) My shelf came in today and I think it may be to big for the 4x4 tent. Each square is 12”, not the 11.8” advertised. I could wipe down my flower room and set it up in there which would give my plants a good adjustment to the new lights before I flip. Or I could set it up in the veg tent but that seems like a huge hassle as the need to be moved and flipped soon anyway. I wish they would show sex already so I can toss out the plants I’m not keeping. For flower I am considering starting over fresh with the new Destiny soil and coco mixed with some amendments. I’m concerned that my current mix might be too hot. I could also dilute it with the Destiny/coco mix. Those little bulb mites that came in with the worm castings are a little concerning as well. Some say they are just beneficial composters aka “worm bin mites” and others are telling me they’re predatory bulb mites which destroy crops like garlic. I’m leaning towards beneficial composters but in another grow I watched them devour a seedling before it sprouted. Gotta check the current roots but the plants aren’t quite ready to be transplanted. (Day 49) Got everything in the flower tent wiped down and sprayed with alcohol then EM1 few hours later. Got the shelf set up and got all my temp controls set up and running. I put the controllers outside the tent this time and will patch any light leaks. Gave a lite compost tea at 830ppm and a velokelp foliar spray at 6ml/L. This will be the last veg feeding before I transplant into their final containers on the 31st. BCTG#2 is a confirmed male and I pulled him. No one else is showing definitively. Roots looked super healthy with very few mites but I’m not 100% convinced they’re all clean. I saw a few mites on leaves today too. Saw a bit of droop after the move but they all look happy just a few hours later. Took a few clones from some sucker branches on a few of the blackberries.

Week5 Vegetative steering Day 29 ————- 4 minute shots(220+-ml). 50-60klux 68 leaf temp Defoliated/Lollipopped Plants seem to be inefficiently spaced. I moved them all closer and they are now positioned better under the lights ———— Day 30 VPDis about a .95 Vegetative steering schedule for 3gal who drink a little over a quart a day 220 P1 440 P1 660 P1 880 P1 1000 P1 1220 P2 1330(1%)P3 I achieve runoff at end of P1 then do a maintenance shot and finish the day off with a watering. P1 waters every 15 min starting 1.5hours after lights on Plants are swelling. But not as well as when i use CO2. I think plants in flower still need co2 so that we can get these lights closer.(as long as the leaf(temp does not go over 80 and vpd stays good) Also, i found a plant to have hermied in week 2 so i removed the pollen sac and rubbed some pollen on 2 plants. Seems like they are just starting to take form on the flowers. **need to check for hermies beginning week 2** Am happy to get seeds from these ladies as this was very isolated in the grow ________________ Day 31 Plants are starting to frost. Group1 has swelled the most Group 2 has average growth and nice frost Group 3 looks like it was over dosed. *Bras&MJ study shows that MJ does mot need to be sprayed with Bras as it will over stress the plants. Brass was completely fine to spray without having adverse reactions. MJ seems to decrease yields but is a worthy tradeoff(will continue to use)-* ————— Day 32 Sprayed 2 plants with MJ(they now have been sprayed both week 4&6) Sprayed 3 with bras(also have been sprayed twice in flower) Finally frosting On the plants

***Sponsored Grow*** = Medic || https://medicgrow.com || Grow = ***Sponsored Grow*** Not a whole lot is happening this week, still having some PH issues in the medium, I believe this is from the microbial mass I added a while back. A microbe product, PH going into the medium is around 6.5-6.8 and coming out is between 5.5-5.8, so something is acidifying it up. Also noticed the runoff last week was a bit higher at times. So lowered the feed down quite a bit, going in at 1.4EC vs 1.8 will bump it up to 1.5 and 1.6 in the next few weeks. I also added in a bit of a PK booster. nothing to crazy only 60ppm worth on a total allowance of 700PPM Lights now running at 100% with V1 spectrum, decided to go with 100% now vs after stretch, will see how it works out.
