Dec 12: Growth has been good, leafs started yellowing as I tried a regular watering as opposed to a feed, and they did not take well to it. I’ve read that it’s good to incorporate waterings between feeds, but 24hr later noticed a bit of yellowing on the lower section, 48hr post watering even more yellowing. Dec 18: Going with feed only and yellowing has halted, stretching has officially begun. No adverse effects from the short term nitrogen deficiency (that’s what I narrowed it down to). Playing with budsites to maintain an even canopy, and as soon as I see stretching halt, and fattening begin, I will up the bloom nutes. Dec 20:

Day 42 — FLO | Mixed SCROG (120×80) Box smells unreal — sticky as hell. Buds are packing weight and the trichs are starting to turn milky in spots, but most are still crystal-clear so I’m letting them cook a bit longer. Canopy is fat, structure solid; loads of resin on every cola — fingers already gluey from checking. Night temps and RH still a pain (cold garage), so I’m watching for any mold hotspots and keeping airflow moving. Overall super happy with how this mixed run turned out so far. Quick state: Lights: 400W HPS + 300W LED (4000K) — plenty of punch. Media: 20 L smart pots, BioBizz soil + myco, organic feeds (BioBloom, TopMax, Green Sensation). Training: SCROG, LST/HST done, minimal tweaks now — mostly letting the flowers fatten. Trichomes: pockets of milky, majority still clear — not chop-ready yet, keep peeping with scope every 2–3 days. Plant-by-plant notes (position → short ID + what I see) Back-left — Wedding Cake (Portland) Very frosty, main colas are dense and sugary. Pistils starting to darken a bit, buds showing early signs of swelling. Trichome coverage is heavy — this one will likely be a resin monster. Watch for the classic sweet/creamy aroma to deepen. Back-center — Kush Crasher Properly turning purple and looking gorgeous. Leaves are showing that cool kush coloration and the colas are chunky and stout. Very sticky, strong nose developing (earthy / diesel kush). Keep temps stable so the purple stays and you don’t stress it too hard. Back-right — AK-47 Shorter, compact nodes but stacking nice little cola clusters. Classic AK structure — not the frostiest but reliable bud density and a punchy terp profile expected. Nice even development under the HPS. Front-left — Double Krush Buds forming tight clusters — a little leaner than the gassier strains but foxtailing less and stacking nicely. Shows vigour and is filling in under the canopy. Good candidate for chunky colas if you let it finish a touch longer. Front-center — Wappa Main cola is a beast — this one’s the show-stealer for bulk. Fat, chunky top cola, already showing awesome density and slight color shift. Expect a heavy, compact cola at chop. Loving how the Wappa is responding to your SCROG. Front-right — Detroit Runtz Longer, slightly looser colas compared to the others but super resinous. Shows those fruity/runts vibes — buds are coating in trichomes and the structure looks promising for aroma/density trade-off. Might finish a touch sooner or later depending on phenotype, keep an eye on the trichs. What I’d do next (short checklist): Keep scope-checking trichs — pockets of milk = start of the final swell. Most still clear → not ready yet. Hold off major defol or HST now; only small tidy-up if airflow spot is tight. Watch RH closely at night — lower if I can (dehumidifier or heater + intake trick). Mold is the enemy at this point. Last heavy feed flush plan: stay conservative — these look on the edge of finishing, so taper nutrients as trichs go 30–50% milky and pistils darken.

Hey folks and welcome to my 2021 outdoor grow diary! I hope you guys enjoy my upcoming posts and see how these ladies will end up by october! Just to break down this years grow, I will be trying new grow techniques, as last year my plants turned out like bonsais, as always, organic grow using Promix HP and Gaia Green Organic Amendments, and watering with a mixture of molasses to feed the soil microbes. So my pops got his hands on some "local growers" clones of Kings Kush cash crop, apparently it is an 80/20 Indica hybrid with a THC average of 14-23%, the smell is suppose to be like musky, peppery Kush and taste the same according to the guy that sold him the clones. Tho, I wouldn't rely on the sellers credibility, all I know is that the strain is mold resistant which is a must in the GTA and is a strong plant and has been doing well for my pops indoor grow so far. I will keep you guys updated on how his batch turns out. So I got 4 of these clones ready by May 16th and transplanted them from a 1 gal to its final 15 gal fabric pots. With that, I used Promix HP and amended the 15 gal with 2 cups of Gaia green all purpose 4-4-4 with approximately 1 cup of Gaia green power bloom and mixed well into each 15 gal pot. (About 70/30 ratio @4tbs/gal of the mixture) After the transplant was completed, I started to water the plants with dechlorinated tap water pHed to 6.5 and gave each pot about 0.5gal each of water. My plans for the next watering is to introduce blackstrap molasses at 1tbs/gal of water to start supercharging the dormant microbes in the soil! I also have to add yellow sticky strips to keep an eye on pests such as fungus gnats and spray neem oil as a PM in the soil and plant.

This week has been a bit troublesome. I’ve moved the tent to a different place due to cold temps and high humidity. I’ve also lifted the pots off the tent floor as the bottom of the fabric pots were very cold. I think the combination of bad conditions and a slightly heavy feed caused a Nute lockout/mag deficiency. Due to the issues this week I’m going to veg for another week to recover. Feed 1 ,Bio heaven/Acti Vera/Bloom 1 litre 2 ,cal mag 1 Litre 3 ,alga mic 1 Litre 1 separate feed of each over the last 7 days . I added a little bloom earlier than planned, hopefully the plant will find something in there that it’s lacking.

Hi all 🧑‍🌾 Welcome to my 🍌💜👊 week update. Hope everyone keeping well and having a good week. Thank you so much for your support on this bananas journey 💜💚💜💚 I am so happy to see how girls are developing in recent days. It's seems that Athena finally stopped her stretch and hoping that Xena will follow her sister very soon. Buds are gaining weight and size rapidly. Lots of nice colours and tonnes of trichomes on those buds already. Week 10 Dec 18-24 Dec 18-19 Mainly observation. Xena is still stretching like crazy. both girls are developing beautifully. Dec 20 First watering for this week. 7.5 ltr beetwen both. Runoffs PH's Athena 6.2 Xena 6.3. Dec 21 Due to lack of light at lower parts of conopy decided for another selective defoliation, lowered a bit tallest branches with colas dangerously close to light by tieing them to netting. Couple cm will make a huge difference here. Could not clear well at the back wall of the cabinet due to limited access.I'm very happy with final result. Dec 22-23 Joyful observation of my 🍌💜👊girls development 🧑‍🌾 Dec 24 All is looking great. It's seems that stretch is finally stopped. Girls looking healthy and happy. Second watering for this week. 8 ltr beetwen both. Both runoffs PH 6.2. It's the end of this week. Happy Xmas everyone 🤶🎄❄️🎁☃️✌️💚🌲🎅🎄 Stay tuned for new week update ✨🍀✨✌️💚

7 Diciembre: Se cambiaron las plantas desde la carpa de vegetación(120x120) a la de floración(150x150) en dónde hay más espacio para deshumidificador, ventiladores, etc. Se sigue regando con 6.2pH y 3.0EC. Pronto se agregará una malla scrog. 10 Diciembre: ya hay claros signos de floración, se colocó una primera capa de malla scrog, el riego Generativo va como se planeó, con pequeños runoff llegando a 7EC, esperando subir hasta 10EC, con ese estrés controlado se mantienen las plantas en una altura óptima evitando que estiren mucho. Hasta el día de ayer, las plantas estaban con 5 disparos(riegos) de 200ml cada uno aproximadamente, hasta obtener runoff, hoy sin embargo, habían 2 plantas con "wilting" lo que indica drybacks excesivos, por lo que hoy se agregaron 2 disparos extra, también llamados P1, y 2 mini riegos de 100 ML en la tarde, P2, para evitar el secado excesivo y el decaimiento de las plantas, las cuales están pidiendo más nutrientes. El VPD se mantiene en 1.2~1.4.

This strain was easy to grow. I started out without an hygrometer. Due to delivery problems i had it very late and my girl noticed that becauce the envirement wasnt optimal for her. She did survive that period, after that she got defoliated multiple times, and i got really rough with her sometimes and broke of some stems, and that was no problem for her. I also had an encouter with thousands of thrips, which i had to nuke to remove them from my girl and she didnt even bother. In veg she was a good to handle, in flower it was a little bit harder and i think she likes alot more PK at the end of her lifetime than i offered her. But thats more of a guess. The smell matches more a cross between blueberry and lemon kush in my opinion. The gelato part is not so noticable at the end of the road.(for me atleast) But the blue in other hand is very dominant and strong by smell and taste. I ended up with hardrock buds even the smaller ones, so im very happy with the outcome. Because of my thrips invasion and usage of bioquant, i wanted to wash my buds for once to clean of all the dirt, dust, insect remains and other particles that shouldnt be in my bud. I did the oh so underrated BUDWASH, and wauw if would deffinatly recommend it to every grower with just a few plants. It really cleans your buds without effecting your potency, terps and overall buds. I also noticed that all buds dried at the same rate cause of the evenly spead moisture i guess. I ended up with 48.34 grams of hard and dry buds I took about 10 grams and turned it into superdelicious rosin because i also love to dab 😍 Thank you growdiaries for this amazing platform. I wanne give a big thumbs up to Barney's Farm for this strain, Keep up the good work. Also a big thumbs up and thanks to all the growers and bud lover for looking @ my diary and especially if you liked it, i appreciate it very much. It was a great journey and experience for me. Thanks again and till next time. And dont forget, Always Keep On Growing my friends, Peace. 😎✌️🏾

Hi ✌️🌱 Es ist soweit, sie ist fertig ✨️ Alles in allem bin ich mit diesem Grow mehr als zufrieden 🙌 Es gab keine größeren Komplikationen, abgesehen von ein paar Mal etwas zu viel Wasser 💦, aber das hat die Kleine richtig gut weggesteckt. Zum Schluss wurde es von unten zwar etwas kühl ❄️, doch das hat sie absolut nicht interessiert 😄 Der Geruch hat sich gegen Ende nochmal leicht in die gasige Richtung entwickelt ⛽️, ist dabei aber trotzdem sehr süß und extrem aufdringlich geblieben 🍬🌸 Bei der Ernte liefen 3 AKFs auf voller Leistung, und trotzdem hat das ganze Haus nach ihr gerochen 😅 Mit dem Ertrag hätte ich in einem 9-Liter-Topf wirklich nicht gerechnet 🤯 Die Buds sind super klebrig, brutal fest und ordentlich schwer 💪🔥 Abschließend kann ich nur sagen: Es hat richtig Spaß gemacht 😍 Definitiv nicht der letzte Steckling vom Verein aber fürs Erste bin ich bestens versorgt für diese Session 🌿 Ich freue mich jetzt schon auf die nächste Runde 😎 Alle Mengen über 49,9 g werden selbstverständlich umgehend nach CanG-Vorschriften entsorgt 😉 Danke für eure Aufmerksamkeit und bis zum nächsten Mal ✨️✌️💚🍀

today with more experience. I see that I made some mistakes, about nutrients and some techniques, but as I repeat this was my second crop. it did not yield as much income as it should, but it was worth it, cultivating and learning.

Venga familia que ya viene la cosecha de estas Permanent Maker de Seedstockers, que ganas que tenia ya de darles machetazo. Que locura de variedad , me encantó cultivarla , aún con la plaga de trips que sufrí aguantaron y sacaron unas flores alucinantes. Las flores aparte de piedras, se ven resinosas. a sido una genética con la que disfruté bastante, no fue complicada cultivarla. Os la recomiendo si os gustan las genéticas con alto thc. Agrobeta: https://www.agrobeta.com/agrobetatiendaonline/36-abonos-canamo Mars hydro: Code discount: Eldruida https://www.mars-hydro.com/ Hasta aquí es todo , espero que lo disfrutéis, buenos humos 💨💨.

🌱 Day 57 - Start of the Second-to-Last Flowering Week 🌱 Hello, Grow Friends! Today marks the start of the second-to-last flowering week—Week 9 overall, and Week 5 of flowering. 🌿 I’m getting more and more excited as my first grow nears its end. As I approach harvest, I’ve decided, based on my research, to stop feeding nutrients and stick to just pH-adjusted water for the final two weeks. 💧⚖️ Watering Routine: I’ll keep the same watering schedule—1 liter every two days, which is about 10% of the pot volume. 🌱💧 This should be enough to flush out the remaining nutrients, ensuring a clean finish for the plant. Temperature & Humidity: The temperature remains stable between 19-23°C, which I believe is ideal for this stage of the grow. 🌡️🍂 No more high temperatures to worry about! The humidity is fluctuating between 45-58%, and I’m keeping a close eye on it to stay below 60%. 💧🔍 Everything seems on track for now. 🌿 Plant Health & Growth: The plant still looks very healthy overall. 🌱💪 However, I’ve noticed that in the past three days, there haven’t been any visible changes in the size of the buds. 🤔 It could just be that I’m not seeing the growth clearly, but the only noticeable change is the daily opening of new flower calyxes. 🌸 Harvest Preparation: I’m already getting my equipment ready for drying after harvest. 🛠️ Once it’s time to cut, I’ll be hanging the plant to dry for the first 10 days. 🌿✂️ I want to make sure everything is set for a smooth drying process. Stay tuned for more updates, and as always, daily photos of the plant will be posted! 📸🌱 Day 62 - Last-Minute Decisions with Urgent Changes 🌱 Hello, my grow friends! Due to the trichome pictures I took on Day 61—which you can check out too—I’ve made an unexpected decision to harvest my plant a bit earlier than planned and make some changes. 🌿 Watering and Flushing: The last time I watered was on Day 61, using all the usual nutrients at the doses I mentioned before. But after seeing the trichome pictures, I decided to start a light flush today. I gave the plant 4 liters of plain water to begin flushing and will now only water lightly on Day 64. After that, no more water until harvest on Day 67. 🌑 Dark Period: From Day 66 to Day 67, I plan to keep the plant in darkness. I’m not entirely sure if this will make a difference, but I’m curious to try it out. ✂️ Defoliation: The plant is doing well, and I’ve done a thorough defoliation. I removed all leaves that aren’t sugar leaves or directly attached to the buds to improve air circulation and reduce the risk of mold as I approach the end of the grow. 💭 Trimming Decisions: I’m still undecided about whether to do a wet trim or a dry trim. Based on what I’ve read, especially regarding the yield from trim, I’m leaning towards dry trimming, as it might give me more usable trim material. I can feel the plant entering its final phase, and I’m getting really excited about the results and what the next few days will bring. Remember, I post a video update every day. If you have any tips or suggestions, I’d love to hear them! Until next time! 🌱

Jetzt lässt sich eine durchgängige Blütenentwicklung beobachten und die Grüße wird sich vermutlich nicht mehr Stark ändern. Daher gehe ich davon aus, dass der Stretch allmählich abgeschlossen ist. In der folgenden Woche bekommt die Pflanze nun einen Kompostee von Biotabs NL. 💚

Most of santa bilbo are showing an advanced nutrient deficency as i cant deal properly with the previous nute burn may caused a block too. Therefore, at this stage i would prefer wash the root during the end. Smell is orgasmic even when they are not complex they excel as specimen through, and i hope you fellows can use this shit as reference tho, big gaz leakz

Day 29. Girls grow slow, but most important .... Could be i overwatered with 2.5 liters of water or i stonly watered them twice ;))) Girls didnt drop pot weight till day 31, on days 32 morning ill do new round of lst. Will feed them hard, will defoliate all bigger old leaves which are covering new grow, plants are strong enough to take pain now ;))) Its sad situation a bit, i got flue and with that corona madness my mood was very down and i didnt work with plants at all, anyway, they made to that stage where harm can be done and its time. Gorillas looks okeish even without work, really good strain at least for now. Cookies are very picky, its hardest to veg strain from all i ever tried, lets see, maybe food and heavy training will make them fit ;) Day 32. Girls are finaly light, so heavy training and huge feeding. I dont know what hapend, but they refused to drink for 8 days almost, one cookie has obvious sighns of overwatering and if to be honest all cookies are crap, gorillas grow amazing, especially self toped one, she made natural mainlining and covers space perfectly. Guess in next 2-3 days they will blast off, but i cant feed silica till more branches will grow up, cookies too small, lets wait and see... Day 33. Girls loved food, plenty new grow, all tops are facing sun again , they will bush up in next few days. Next watering - silica and cal mag and next after - fish mix. Day 34. Girls are drinking again, so i gave 1ml/l fishmix. Cookies show strange colours and on fresh grow you can see cal mag def. Next feed will give them extra, normaly TopMax should be enough... I dont like Cookies genetics so much, that i planted last 5th bean ;)) Want to check two things : 1. Are my lights strong to grow something not under direct light 2. Are those Cookies such crap, that i should never try any seeds from RQS. I planted 4 new girls, no work,no top - nothing will be done to them. Hope to see last Cookie bean growing beter than almost two years old Incredible Bulk x2 and last StrawberyCough bagseed bean, otherwise its sad quality for such big house. Cant find why all 4 Cookies grow so slow compaired to all 4 perfect Gorillas. Was using new worm castings, too ritch ?? maybe thats the answer in test grow i put pure BIOBIZZ AllMix soil, nothing extra. Had to top one Cookie, new grow was all damaged and didnt want to develop, will harm them even harder next time before silica and cal mag, which i thought not to use in this run ... Lets see .... Happy growing !

13/06/25 - Gorilla cookies all sprouted. Little did I know the headache I would have from now on stunting plants and going down the rabbithole of trying to fix everything at the same time instead of taking a step back checking my carbon filter wasnt blocked until 07/08/25 😭
