As promised in the last entry. A lot of the early growth is going to be grouped in this week of veg for the diary. I'm going to consider this week 4 of Veg moving forward since that's about where my oldest plants are at this point. My newest plants are about a week old and since I slotted myself one of the Banana Butter Cup S1's to the first tent, the genetics I want for the reversal are finally preserved although she isn't looking the best. Not a lot of coverage on tent 1 I know. But this will change probably next week once we start getting into training them as I also am switching the VS100 out for some corn bulbs, since it seems to be a bit much for the smaller tent, a lot of the smaller plants have been suffering from light stress. I'm not interested in ever having that Banana Buttercups die before she yields me at least 100 seeds to run for the foreseeable future in my quest for Banana Terps. I'll have another Grow going probably in August this year for a bigger breeding project in 5x5 I hope. Until then stay tuned and I'll have more pictures next week!

112 grams dried flower, not all purple but I'll take it any day. No ventilation and hardly any nutrients and hardly any experience. I'd definitely recommend trying fast buds purple lemonade.😁

Yes sir!!! We are here now in bloom! The last few weeks I think she's been getting ready but now we are seeing signs of full bloom! Staked wide and ready for growth. I'm loving how these ladies are growing! I'm sorry for being behind on my grow diarys. Had to do some work on the other garden I help out with! But all is well! I just gave these baby's some kelp it real from growganica. To help boost these roots ✨️ then I'll be giving her some fermented watermelon for feed as well next week. Roughly every other watering. I do just a little bit less than the recommendation! Irrated as always baby! Things are looking well I'm excited for the weels to come! Much love & happy growing

my dry and cure style is this: 4 days of hanging upside down to get water activity lower to around 0.6 in 50% humidity and 26 C temp (i know its a little high but we are in a hot summer right now and i cant get it lower even with air conditioner) and then after 4 days of drying i remove leaves and stalks, trim buds and move them to jar for the rest of their life :D . and in the first 4 days of curing i open the jar door and let hem get some fresh air in the jar for about 5 minutes and close the jar door again, after 4 days of curing like that buds are smokable but they will get better as they getting cured about 1 month. buds are one of the hardest as fucking rocks type of buds! very dense , compact , sticky , smelly , amazing at every aspect growing stage was 60 days and flowering stage was 70 days total (harvested tops at day 63th) the total weight of dry buds was : top buds 174 G + lower buds 55 G = 229 G my overview of strain with details: the seeds: unfortunately i only got 1 seed cracked out of 5 so i will not know how much this genetic can get different but at least i got the chance to grow once of this wonderful strain the plant : in every stage you can ensure that you are dealing with a high level plant , she will get big so you have to control her height LST and SCROG highly recommended , will grow very well with tick stalks and big fan leaves , has good resistance for stress and will respond very well to stress trainings , she really has gorilla power in herself , fresh buds on plant : buds are very compact and dense even from start , fresh blossoms smells like pineapple and mango , 2 different shades of sweet smells like you hold 2 junks of pineapple and mango in your hand and you smell them together, she is a trichome and resin factory , very very sticky , very oily , strong smell dried buds: very compact and dense , hard as rocks , has dark colors with purple hues inside it , it smells sweet smoke : very smooth and sweet like lollipop , pineapple , mango like , after 2 minutes it'll kick in and you'll get higher and higher with every breath , has a strange and especial high mind high mostly

Day 53: I have a feeling that a bigger pot is necessary for FIMmed plants. Defoliated Lemon a little bit (used her leaves for a morning shake 😁). Some of her leaves are turning lime green, not sure what that's about. Overall excited about their day to day growth from now. Day 55: Followed some advice and tried to add some Cal in the form of chamomile tea. Ended up trimming the already deficient leaves will see what happens later on. Could also be light burn from the plants getting taller. Lemon Pie is showing the purple phenotype which I love!

Hey everyone 🤗. This week they both continued to develop very well. I especially like Pheno 1 visually ☺️ although both phenotypes smell very good 👍. Flowering day 28 Today the tent was cleaned, the humidifier refilled and both plants sprayed with Canna Cure :-). Flowering day 29 Both were poured today with 1.2 L per pot 🙂. Both were also checked for their health and pests 👍. Everything looks great 🙏🏻. Flowering day 30 Again the tent was cleaned and fresh osmosis water was filled into canisters. Flowering day 31 Today 1.5 l per pot was poured so that some drainage comes out again. therefor two days are not poured 😋. Flowering day 32 The tent was cleaned, the humidifier was filled, both plants were checked for vitality and the entire electronics were checked for functionality. Flowering day 33 Today both were sprayed again with Canna Cure and checked. Flowering day 34 We have reached the last day of this week and again 1.2 L were poured per pot and the tent was cleaned 👍. I hope you have a lot of fun with the new update, and let it grow 🍀🙏🏻 You can buy this Strain at : https://sweetseeds.es/de/red-mandarine-f1-fast-version/ Type: Red Mandarine F1 Fast Version ☝️🏼 Genetics: Red Poison Auto®️ (SWS39) X Tangie (California Orange x Hybrid Skunk) 👍 Vega lamp: 2 x Todogrow Led Quantum Board 100 W 💡 Bloom Lamp : 2 x Todogrow Led Cxb 3590 COB 3500 K 205W 💡💡☝️🏼 Soil : Canna Coco Professional + ☝️🏼 Fertilizer: Green House Powder Feeding ☝️🏼🌱 Water: Osmosis water mixed with normal water (24 hours stale that the chlorine evaporates) to 0.2 EC.

I was worried because the buds had a very different aspect compare to the other plants but I guess its their genetics that makes them buds with more pistils. they getting very fat now so I’m not worried anymore ! Please let me know if there anything wrong 🖖🏽🖖🏽

I took a photo with a flash while the babies were sleeping. I know I shouldn’t cos it could affect them. So I’m sorry if I’ll keep taking bad photo with the growing light, I will make better content for the harvest time :) They are starting to produce a nice amount of crystals and the smell is goin to be quite strong.

Another week, another water change! Again, nothing really too exciting going on this week. Pushing nutrients high on these ladies, added two trellis nets and did some tucking. No defoliation yet, really just letting the plants do their own thing. Big stripping and lollipopping coming next week!

Week 6 update: What up Grow family. These testers are growing fast and strong. Where in week 6 now and the swelling and ripening of flowers are going amazing. Still feeding 500ml/16oz daily as I've found that's the sweet spot for 3gal fabric pots for these. I'd say these probably have about 2 weeks left until they'll be finished. All in all Happy Growing.
