My permanent marker plants are looking really interesting! The short and stocky one with the purple leaves is super vibrant. I love that pop of color against the green of the other plants. It's a little different from the taller plant, which has this really cool stacked-up look to it. I'm curious to see if those stacked-up leaves will change color too. The past few weeks have been so beautiful, watching the plants grow and change. It's amazing how something so small and fragile can turn into something so strong and vibrant. Now that they're getting ready to bloom, it feels a little bittersweet. I'm so excited to see the finished product, but I'll definitely miss having them around while they're growing.

Cherry Punch just got her last feed this past week. The next 2 weeks will be full flushing for them. Garlic cookies, watermelon Skittlez, Mint cookies, cookies and cream, and wedding cake are going to be fed up to weeks 7-8. All the plants are finishing nicely! smells are getting a little more dank forsure!😎

Hello Growmies, Week 14 has blossomed before us, and the unfolding story of the grow is nothing short of inspiring. The buds have ceased their stretch and have entered a stunning phase of swelling, with each day bringing more fullness. A palette of purple is now washing through the colas, hinting at the rich tapestry of flavors that awaits. It's a visual feast, and I can't help but feel this might be one of the most beautiful plants I've had the privilege to cultivate. Continuing with a steady rhythm, she receives 4 liters of nutrient solution every four days, sustaining her needs seamlessly. This grow has been a testament to the fire-and-forget approach, with the plant's robust health and vigorous growth doing all the talking. With both light spectrums blazing at 100%, she's now basking in the full 270 watts of power. Impressively, she's thriving under this intense light, demonstrating her strength and vitality. I've also captured the PAR readings from various heights, showcasing her remarkable light absorption: - The tallest colas stand under an impressive 1,271 and 1,326 μmol/m²/s. - The mid-canopy level measures a healthy 822 μmol/m²/s. - Down at the Scrog level, we're still seeing a substantial 522 μmol/m²/s. These numbers reflect the careful tuning of our light setup, ensuring that every part of the plant is receiving the energy it needs. This grow has been a journey of minimal stress and maximum reward. The ease with which this plant has flourished is a true joy, and sharing each update with you has added to the experience. As we move closer to harvest, the excitement is undeniable. If the appearance and growth rate are anything to go by, we are in for quite a treat. Stay tuned for next week's update as we continue to nurture and admire the magnificent development of this plant.

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/

This week was a bit of a struggle. Plant was moved to 5 gallon container and into a tent. It took me a few days to get the humidity under control but all is well now that I've got a little better ventilation. The only thing I'm very concerned with now is bringing the ph down to a 6.5 -7. I'm going to use distilled water instead of nutrient mix for the next week and likely will heavily dilute the nutrient mix before next feeding.

1/5 - Day 51 / Day 23 flower - Feeding Day Pots were mostly dry on this day, last time they were fed was a little over a week ago on day 43 (12/28). I've done two small waterings since last feed, about a half gallon of water for each of my 5 gallons and about 8oz of water for my bonsais. My plants are drying out within about 48 hours of each small watering. For today's feeding I went to full strength on my nutes. My solution consisted of: - 1 gallon distilled water - 3ml CalMag - 3 tsp of FF Big Bloom (full dose)) - 2 tsp of FF Tiger Bloom (full dose) - pH: 6.9 - TDS: 342ppm - EC: .7 I gave each of my 5 gallons about a half gallon of the fertigated water each which wasn't enough to produce runoff. I gave them each about another 1/4 gallon distilled water to generate enough runoff to test. I tested the runoff of my Z52 which gave me readings of: - pH: 6.3 -TDS: 1600ppm -EC: 3.2 I gave about 12oz of fertigated water to each of my bonsais. My ZB2 runoff posted readings of: - pH: 7.2 - TDS: 594ppm - EC: 1.2 My TDS readings are definitely low compared to the FF Soil Feeding Schedule. The suggested readings for week 7 are an EC of 2.8 - 3.0 and 1960-2100ppm. Not stressing too much over the reading as the girls are looking healthy and happy. Will add another feeding in between waterings if I start to see any nutrient deficiencies but I don't see any cause to do so at the moment. As you can see from the picture on 1/3, the super cropping I did on 1/2 didn't hurt my girls one bit. By the following day, the tops were already bending back toward the lights. This was a big relief. **************************************************** 1/7 - Day 53 / Day 25 Flower Light watering in the morning today using pH'd dechlorinated tap water w/ 4ml of cal mag. Gave about about a 1/4 gallon to each for my 5 gallons and another 8oz each for my bonsais. **************************************************** 1/8 - Day 54 / Day 26 Flower Noticing signs of nutrient issue on the Z51. Surprisingly, no signs of nutrient issues on the Z52 despite using the same solution and roughly the same amount of water during the feeding day on 1/5. Decided to do a heavier watering tonight, using about 3/4 gallon of pH'd dechlorinated tap water. Hoping that dilutes the soil a little bit and pushes the salts toward the bottom. **************************************************** 1/9 - Day 55 / Day 27 Flower Nutrient issues did not appear to get any worse overnight so that is encouraging. Did some minor defoliation on my 5 gallons this morning to remove any of the smaller branches on the lower 3rd of the plant. Haven't completely removed any branches that are below the trellis. Will start pruning more regularly every other day so I don't shock the plants too much.

Week five! This plant continues to grow despite having some nutrient issues. When the first yellow tips appeared, I thought I had overdone it with the nutrients, but they kept coming back even though I halved the dose. At the beginning of the week, I gave her 0.5 L with half the nutrients and during the week another 2 L of water only, hoping she would recover. Studying the problem, I discovered that it could be more of a K block. Either something is preventing proper absorption, or she is simply not getting enough. During the sixth week, I will try adding 0.25 ml/L of Atami B'Cuzz Blossom Builder to the nutrient chart to boost N and K and see if anything changes. Despite everything, this week she reached 63 cm and is still growing upwards towards the light. The lamp was dimmed to 75% all week and then brought up to 100% on the last day, still at 30 cm. I hope to be able to recover from this minor setback and get the best out of this girl. Week six is coming, are you ready? I can't wait!

🌸 BlueBerry – Week 4 Flower Update Grower’s Journal | Zamnesia BlueBerry ⸻ 🌱 The Girls Today Our two BlueBerry ladies are 120 cm tall, strong, elegant, and stretching beautifully into the light. Both are showing spectacular frost coverage already at Week 4. 💎 What frost means this early: • Frost at this stage is a sign of healthy resin production beginning early. • It points to strong genetics (thank you, Zamnesia) and a well-balanced environment. • More frost now often means denser trichome carpets later, and with BlueBerry, that classic sticky sparkle is already writing its story. ⸻ 💡 Inner Canopy Light – ICL 300 This week, let’s talk about a special piece of gear: the ICL 300 inner canopy light. • Inner Canopy vs. Under Canopy: • Under canopy lights push light upwards from below, filling shadows. • Inner canopy lights like the ICL 300 spread 300° of light inside the plant structure, wrapping the middle and hidden nodes in usable spectrum. • The result: more even growth, healthier lower bud sites, and improved overall stacking. 💡 Specs of the ICL 300: • Designed for high penetration into dense canopies. • Emits a balanced spectrum that complements the top LEDs. • Reduces “shadow zones” and helps those mid-layer buds become full players, not just secondary fluff. This week, the ICL 300 is clearly doing its work: the whole canopy feels alive, not just the tops. ⸻ ✂️ Defoliation – Light Touch I performed a light defoliation: • Removed some fan leaves blocking major bud sites. • Opened the canopy so light (especially from the ICL 300) could penetrate deeper. Minimal stress, just enough to help airflow and light distribution. At this stage, it’s about balance, not stripping, just guiding. ⸻ 🔄 Quick Recap of the Journey So Far From Cannakan germination in pure water → to early soil boosters with Aptus → to steady veg under Future of Grow, ThinkGrow, and Lumatek Zeus LEDs → to smart environment control with TrolMaster + sensors → now flowering strong, stacked, and sparkling. The girls have walked a legendary path already, just like their name. BlueBerry is not just any strain, it’s a classic, a true legend in the world of medicine. And this run is honoring that legacy with beauty and frost. ⸻ 🔮 Looking Ahead – Week 5+ What to expect: • Heavier bulking as flowers begin to swell. • More trichome coverage, turning frost into snow. • Stronger terpene release (that nostalgic BlueBerry perfume beginning to show). What not to expect: • No more big vertical growth. Stretch is nearly done, from here, it’s all about flower development. ⸻ 💬 Final Thoughts Week 4 is a milestone. The girls stand tall at 120 cm, frosty, thriving, and glowing from top canopy to inner canopy thanks to the ICL 300. Every detail — from careful defoliation to balanced feeding, from genetics to gear, is creating a perfect environment for these legendary BlueBerries to shine. This is only the beginning of their flower story, and they already look breathtaking. 📲 Don’t forget to Subscribe and follow me on Instagram and YouTube @DogDoctorOfficial for exclusive content, real-time updates, and behind-the-scenes magic.

Growth has been steady and everything is thriving right now. Might need to get a new dehumidifier soon mine is starting to shit the bed so RH levels are a little high with lights out but the heater keeps them low enough to get by at this point. I removed all the fan leaves on these 2 around day 17 and they didnt skip a beat. I will be removing the fan leaves on everything on day 21, these 2 were flipped a week earlier than the test to remove males. Hope everyone is practicing their social distancing skills. Use the code bangdang at any of my sponsors for 10% off. @greenbuzzliquids @growlightscience.led @rainscience_growbags @gorilla_grow_tent

----------- Week 5: ---------- Beginning of the 2nd week of flowering. I have noticed that the 3 biotabs that went into the ground last week, released just a little too much fertilizer in these early days of flowering. You can see that there is slight discoloration in her leaves. We go from the darker green to the lighter lime green, which indicates that she is getting just a little too much P. I fear this will probably continue for the next few weeks. Fortunately, she has a good start and basis and this will not have too many negative effects. Pushing her a little bit doesn't hurt either. Although I think I might consider using only 2 biotabs in 25l soil in the next round. First, let's wait and see how this evolves. Furthermore, of course nothing to complain. Nice further development of her budsites and she also has 2 main branches fighting for dominance. . Unwards to the second week of bloom. Until next week!
