Weeks 7-9 Days 42-63-5 Both phenos got defoliation done to them and opened them up for fattening. They've stopped putting upwards hight and on day 42 I done their only heavy defol and put them back under my P1000 (100W led) which did this plant from start to finish. Kept steady feeds. The last 4 days or so it was put on water. After 6hrs dark rest both were chopped and hung upside down. (More indepth 3 week review) Phenos at the end of week 6 here, finished preflower both are around 62-65cm. Been the general hight for my other 2 pheno pot grow . Then on day 42 I done a hard defoliation and just put them back under the light for 3 weeks. Steadily kept feeding Xpert Nutrients but not in the way I should have. But, for the short time (9 weeks) and just making sure that the substrate never ran dry. I got some decent results. Again these were more tests. As I like to see how breeders phenos react in similar environments and you can't get closer than being in the same pot, got 2 small but more or less twins of Auto Fractal, giving me around 45-50 dry grams Nutrients were given sparcely but always made sure NPK feeds were no longer than 3 days apart. Had I given everyday and focused more on flushing etc. Id of gotten bigger phenos. But, it was a test. And I got to try their autos and now know that I'm most cases you won't get 7-10g plants. Just give enough space and don't stress and you'll get big autos. Put on good bud mass just under a 100w in a crowded tent. Got really fruity bud and overall very happy with my 2 small lush phenos 1st 2pheno (separate strains, autos kabul/opium also showed how steady the genrics are I've got a 5 pheno SCROG of Euphoria fem by Divine coming along nicely. I also have a white widow auto by divine in an 11L pot and its really big its still weeks out from being done. Proving to me. Their gentics are ๐Ÿ”ฅ and give good results if you put in the right effort. Thanks to my sponsors & all who stop by. Discount code from Xpert nutrients 20% off code:GGST

17/01 So I have had serious doubts about my 300W CFL grow light since day 1 so I decided to instead opt for a Mars Hydro TS1000. Looking forward to seeing if there's any difference! With regards to my previous grow question, my tap water, while drinkable tastes terrible and has a higher than normal amount of chlorine which i heard is terrible for plants. Hence the RO water. Got hit by a really cold spell last week and I struggled to keep the tent above 16 degrees C but it's starting to get back to normal now so hopefully will see some good growth :) 20/01 So I may have set her back by a couple of day's with the new light, apart from the apparent change in wavelength from CFL to led that can cause some stress I also gave her 100% on the dimmer. Just a quick note to any newbies out there, the Mars Hydro TS1000 gives you a recommended distance from the canopy for each stage of growth but not recommended power, if your girl is at my stage of growth use 25-30%. On the bright side she has adapted nicely and no lasting damage seems to have been done. Seeing signs of growth all over and she's back to praying :) 23/01 She recovered from the change of light nicely! She's growing like a superstar now and just got her first feed today. Gonna take it easy on the nutrients, really don't wanna stress her out anymore. I have been turning up the light strength daily and she's currently happy at 50%.

Flushing her out this week- Only drawback this entire grow was she was super nitrogen sensitive. Barely fed in veg and followed the advance nutrients and green gro protocols cut in halfโ€” and she got a bit of a nitrogen claw. Other than that, fading nicely. Great structure, decent frost, terps are more earthy/piney now versus runtz (we know that can change) These ladies have massive fan leaves and are shorter in stature- making it an easy grow. Will be harvesting soon. ๐Ÿป๐Ÿ’š

Cut down on day 110, after 30 hours of darkness.. Added ice blocks to the substrate over the last couple days and got some lovely red and purple notes from it... Found one more spot of mould in a main cola, total loss of 40 grams of wet flower. Not a huge problem seeing as I still have colas the size of my forearm. Half wet trimmed on the large colas to reduce risk of mould, left less dense and smaller nugs with most leaves on to aid a slow dry. Hung in as little light possible in ~19ยฐc at ~55%RH with filtered air from outside and extract system, dehumidifier circulating air in the room. Air refresh rate is ~90 seconds.

I have observed substantial growth in my babies, unfortunately, I will not be able to complete the intended 9 weeks of vegetation before transitioning to the flowering stage. This is due to an upcoming relocation to a more suitable location that offers ample space for strain cycling and the maintenance of mother plants for cloning purposes. I am eagerly anticipating the flowering phase, particularly for the Gelato 41 strain, which is already emitting a pleasant aroma.

Hi all, Welcome to my๐ŸŒ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ‘Š week update Thank you so much for all support on this bananas journey. Much appreciate all your likes, follows and comments. ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ’šโค๏ธ๐Ÿ’œ Week 14 Jan 15- Jan 21 Flushing and preparation for harvest ๐Ÿ˜ on Jan 15 feed girls for the last time with nutrients. It was reduced dose by 60% 5ltr no runoff. Following morning topped up with 6ltr of ph down and only fish shit. Runoffs PH 6.2. Second watering Jan 18 6tr and 7ltr on Jan 21. It was last watering. Week went very well. No white pistils hairs on Athena for a good while and barely few left on Xena. Many buds have different shapes and colours but all of them are equally hard as rocks, sticky and smelling so deliciously. This week trichomes development was just like I wish for. Just milky and amber in play Status on Jan 22. Mostly of buds 20-50% amber. It's just perfect for my needs๐Ÿคค On Jan 21 lights were on for the last time and girls will be harvested after 48 or 72h of darkness. Stay tuned for the final week update! Peace and love brothers and sisters โœŒ๏ธ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐ŸŒพ Links https://2fast4buds.com/seeds/banana-purple-punch-auto https://plagron.com https://www.biobizz.com/ https://fishheadfarms.com/

Buds r maturing nicely and loads of colas on her. Tips of leaves r showing nutrient burn so I halved the nutes and will see how it goes. Think that terpinator sent it over the edge with all the other biobizz nutes too. It better make the buds stink!! Another couple weeks n she might be ready!

Nose Candi - Harvested Plant Overview โ€” This final image showcases an exceptional harvest result. The plant displays dense, resin-rich colas with a heavy coating of trichomes, signaling high potency and well-developed cannabinoids. The buds are compact, chunky, and carry a stunning mix of deep purple hues, vivid orange pistils, and touches of lime greenโ€”a truly striking visual contrast. The sugar leaves and fan leaves are dark purple to nearly black, suggesting strong anthocyanin expression, likely influenced by genetics and possibly cooler environmental conditions during late flowering. The trichome coverage is thick and milky, with some amber likely present, indicating peak maturity at harvest. Overall, this plant appears to have reached optimal ripeness. Bud structure, coloration, and resin production all point to a top-tier result โ€” both visually appealing and potentially very potent. This will likely cure into a beautifully aromatic and flavorful final product. Excellent work!

12/24/18 Decided to make bubble hash with the trim and small buds from all 4 plants. The bubble hash is now drying. This plant has been a dream to grow. No problems from her at all. I even found a couple keeper phenos as well. The black magic soil and fertilizer, along with the aerated nutrient teas that these ladies were feed worked to perfection. All organic living soil is the way to go! Im not finished yet. I will update this diary soon with dry weight and a smoke report once the ladies are done drying.00000

added trellis netting this week to start SCROG. two layers close to eachother so I don't have to wait for entire square of growth to tuck under higher growth to keep flat even canopy. also minimizes my need for zip tie and garden ties needinf adjustment. I'm happy with veg growth thus far, and once the screen fills up with more green in a week or two these two ladies will both be ready to flip to flower. waiting on lower nodes to develop a bit more and get best use I can from a big(ish) 315 w LEC light. the girls are getting foliar every 3 or 4 days. using heavy 16 foliar only at the moment but will follow their foliar mix as grow progresses. smell has gotten much heavier, especially in nemo, the more blueberry pheno of the two, looking at the fan leafs I think V is more haze pheno with super thin sativa leaf structure.

8/19 (Day 63) - Pretty normal/typical today. Have just been monitoring since the defoliation a few days ago. Environment has been stable, stay around 78/79 degrees during the day and around 73 at night. Humidity fluctuates between 55-60 RH. PH stays 5.8/5.9. I did accidentally feed a bit much and have been watering with just RO water and they have been drinking fine, a few deficiencies and I also lowered my light power by 10%. I may end up changing the res and water tomorrow just because I did mix my nutrients a little hot by accident and took me a few days to notice. Everything is looking pretty good thus far and we are getting closer to finishing! Pretty pleased with my first grow but excited for the second because I have more knowledge and have a few things that im going to correct and do differently. Will be updating throughout the week. Thanks for looking. 8/20 (Day 64) - Decided to just ride out and keep topping the res with RO water, Calmag, and Rootdrip. I think I added too much Calmag last week trying to correct the calcium deficiency I was seeing. Girls are drinking just fine and not showing any real issues. Everything is stays in check. Tomorrow is water and nute change. 8/21 (Day 65)- Woke up early and got the everything pumped out and fresh water and nutrients back in. Definitely over did it on the calmag last week by mistake but doesn't look like any real harm done. Roots and plants are looking good and getting big! All the plants seem at slightly different stages in flower though, not sure if its something ive done or just differences in plants genetically. All conditions are in check and gonna continue to watch them hopefully keep fattening up! As always, tips and recommendations always appreciated!

here is in winter with cloudy days ... if she is like that it is my fault for not spending enough time on her ... she grew up in a 1 liter pot ... and one of my dogs ate all its leaves ... we will say that of a flavor and good effect .
