Welcome to the Dutch Passion Growing Competition 2025! I choose Banana Blaze Auto for competing in this contest. The seeds were given to me by Dutch Passion for free. Thanks! These are my first indoor-grown autoflowers. I am looking forward to fast growth and big headbuds, lets see how the Banana Blaze likes the AutoPots! You will see that the seeds werent put directly in the center of the pots. I am planning on applying LST during the grow and gave myself some space to work with before hand. Stay tuned :) Update day 4: a small miracle happened - all seeds popped up on the same day! And by all I truly mean all, not only the three Banana Blaze Auto, but my two additional plants aswell! With all my autos perfectly synchronized, I can now start on a good note into these grows. Soon all plants exept the Banana Blaze sisters will move outdoors.

Somewhat slacking with detailed photos from this week, been busy with the holidays/ family etc. hopefully should have a little more time to take some good ones for next week.. Not much to say, they are getting quite big! some more lower branches and leaves were removed and I've been watering every other day, about .5-.75 gal per plant until I see some run off and the top looks evenly moist. End of week 1 of flower and there are Lots of white pistils, a pleasant smell (controlled by my filter/vent) and some major stretching happening on the strongest branches. Already raised the light by a few inches twice now too keep the distance over 12 inches from these stretchy ones! ๐Ÿ˜ Also found a large healthy looking seed in my grinder that I've saved (Mac 1 supposedly, its good smoke)

So, this week I cut phosphorous intake in half, and did a small cleanup job, removing some leaves. Plants look really healthy, except I would've expected they showed nitrogen deficiency signs since then, which suggest soil might be keeping some nutrients. Not sure if that's good or bad (certainly not a real issue tho). I started to flush yesterday; we'll see how it goes for the next few days. I already see a few amber trichomes, so harvest is either for end of week or next one. I'll have to travel a few days next week-end, so I try to sequence everything the best I can :) Also, I just heard about stem splitting, which doesn't seem to be a common technique among us; I'm not planning to do this to my plants (at least not yet), but I'd like to have your opinion on that; anyone tried ? What gives ? See you next week friends !

Into week three of flowering: - Need to up CalMg this week cause all my last grows with this strain the plants were stressing and showing signs of Mg deficiency I think. - The buds are stacking up pretty tight. - The top of the plant is showing some red veins AGAIN, don't know if it is genetics? Or is it too much light? ANY SUGGESTIONS? - Usually what happens is that after week three top of plant will show red veins and some leaves will turn light green yellow. What type of deficiency is this? Thanks in advance for the help. Happy growing, BM 4TwenTee *****Update on LIGHT STRESS:***** Okay I think I got this figured out. Since my plant is showing the following symptoms: - Slow yellowing of top of cannopy - Fan leaves pointing up in a steep angle - Leaves are tacoing up a bit with sharp pointy serrated leaves pointing up - Veins are turning purple and some leaves are showing green veins and yellowing of outer part of the leaf REASONS FOR THE SYMPTOMS: - Since the light is too close to the top of the canopy, although my light is running at around 60% and it is at least a meter away from the light. I think because this was a mother and basically she is accustomed to top canopy PAR of around 180-220 and she was measuring around 600PAR so that is just too much for the plant to handle. So I've lowered the light output so the top canopy is around 420 PAR. - Also my humidity is pretty high at around 72% so I lowered it to around 65% - The reason why the leaves are tacoing up to the light is because the canopy cannot take the high PAR, the temp at the top of the canopy is only 76F so that is acceptable, but the plant is trying the sweat due to the high PAR, but because the humidity was also too high it was not sweating as much as it should. - The reason why a light stressed plant shows different deficiencies eg. magnesium and phosphate is due to the "extra sweating" that takes place, cannabis plants don't choose what they intake, if they need more water to sweat, extra nutrients will be absorbed and this will lockout some of the other nutrients in the solution. **End of week update: Tried multiple changes but still no luck on getting rid of red leaf stem. - Added a 1 hour sunrise and sundown light regiment - Decreased Humidity to 65% from low 70's - Top of canopy PAR decreased from 600 to 350. Leaves red stems still not going away and top of canopy still trying to get rid of moisture with fan leaves pointing up. If anyone can chime in that would be great thanks.

Transplanted the ladies this week! Moved them into a 4 gallon pot, I plan on letting them get settled and flipping to flower soon. Temps were good this week, RH was steady at about 60%. No big surprises with the transplant, however it did take them a day or two longer than my typical recovery time.

Partially drained the tank at the start of the week and topped up with ro water and 1ml of final solution per Litre. Last 2.5 days were in darkness. I trimmed the majority of fan leaves before hanging up to dry in the tent today. Started out trimming with the plants in the tent and soon realised it would be much easier to just cut them down whole, hang them upside down outside the tent and trim them up a bit. I have a small dehumidifier and a small fan heater setup in the tent and they have been keeping a humidity level of about 60% and a temp of 16 Celsius for the last few days while the lights have been off. I figure that's a good starting point for drying and I can increase the temperature if needed, that will drop the humidity also. Intake fan at the bottom and extract fan at the top are running constantly as they have been since the grow started (low power 4" fans). I might add back in a fan for circulation depending on how the drying goes, or maybe even trim or hang the plants better to get more airflow around the buds

Well itโ€™s week 5. Week one of what Iโ€™m gonna call flower. I got 2 plants in full flower and the others are coming from begins fast. Dealt with a mag issue this past week got it straightened out. The banana purple punch plants just arenโ€™t thriving like the rest in my tent. Iโ€™m gonna grow them again because Iโ€™m pretty positive it a me problem. The plants are doing awesome and these fast buds grow insanely fast. Iโ€™ve been creeping my light up every week. Iโ€™m at 60 percent on this evo 3. Gonna bump it up to 70 percent later when my light comes back on

2024-07-13 Indoor The Indoor Lady is fading, chrystals are building and well i think the longest Time for her is over and we are slowly coming to an end. OUTDOOR Despite the bad outdoor conditions, the Tangerine Snow stands brave and strong i was feeding her today, and i think i have seen some Preflowers? this week i made Videos from Both, In and- Outdoor Plants BREEDER INFO Tangerine Snow F1 Fast Feminised is a 75% sativa, four-way cross of (Boost x Tangelo) with (Lavender x Power Plant). This Fast F1 hybrid is bred from Cali genetics and boasts great citrus terps, high resin production for extracts, high levels of THC, very good yields and excellent mould resistance. Tangerine Snow F1 Fast can be grown indoors as well as outdoors. Indoor flowering times are between 8 - 10 weeks while harvest time in northern latitudes is during September while in the southern hemisphere growers will be harvesting during March. Recommended climate regions are hot, dry, humid and warm. These are tall, semi-branched plants that grow in excess of 200cm and display a high degree of vigour with very good uniformity. In common with many other heavily sativa-dominant strains, Tangerine Snow F1 Fast offers excellent resistance to mould as well as to plant pests and diseases. The combination of citrus terps and plenty of resin makes thi a very good extract strain with the 'washing' method delivering very good yields of hash. The citrus terpene profile is reminiscent of mandarins and tangerines and also has sweet candy notes. THC production has been lab-verified at a strong 24% while CBD is low. The effect is uplifting and energising, perfect for use during the day and early evening.

Welcome everybody to week 2 of white widow X big bud from female seeds. So far so good it's looking healthy and growth is beginning to pick up speed. I did try to germinate two of these but only one popped. I'm not sure if the seed was inviable from the start or if it was something else. But lucky for the community we still have a representative for this promising strain. I gave her her first round of worm tea and have steadily been pushing the light intensity. I also rough up the main stem regularly to increasing it's strength. She has began to increase growth rate and I looking forward to it's continued progress. Thanks for checking in on my grow if you like female seeds genetics or the specific strain ww x bb or if your interested in organic/ living soil growing. Hit the follow button and let's watch her grow together!

Welcome to my Wedding CheeseCake Fast-Flowering sponsored by Fastbuds, also thanks to Spider-Farmer who's lights will be used. SF1000 for veg and SE5000 for Flowering (10-20 days after Flowering started "when pre fower is over") Mis information across the board about set-up, methods and so on: So, I decided to go ahead and use 1 seed. After looking at her Height she's XXL. So, I've no doubts if I decide to do a Scrog, I'll just use 1 seed, fanning the phenos out. I'll start it more at the corner and bend it down across the pot and no defoliations will be done as I'll need all leafs to extend the nodes growth. I'm not 100% gone on doing a 50cm2 scrog. Taking up 1/4 of my tent isn't something I like doing while strain hunting. Coming off how the bud is then I'll possibly do a scrog. I've so many plants going this crop. I think doing a Scrog will take a lot of my attention away from my other girls. I'm using my 70cm2 to veg my autos and a few of my fems, giving me an extra .5m2 space. My SF1000 is back at it again. She's a fantastic light, I always get excellent young plants from this light. Its from their old led setup. It has a small touch of Far Red. Days since sprouted: 0-7 Seedling Days; Came up showing a yellow set of leafs. Meaning I put the seed to deep into the substrate. And it broke its shell long before popping its head above the sub. Growth is good. Hopefully coming into day 9 or 10 she should have left the seedling stage and into a veg phase. Nutrients/Substrate used. Royal mix from plagron will see her through at least 4 weeks. (Alga Grow will be introduced at the end of week 2, as it takes time for organic nutrients to kick in). Power Roots & Pure Zym will be used for the next few weeks in earnest help nutrient uptake via the nutrient rich soil. Bat Guano Soil from plagron will be added upon the flip, (again been fully organic it should take a few weeks to kick in), Nutrient feeds are once a week, topped up with water if and when needed. But as they're seedlings you really only need to give its 1st Feed and keep a high RH. Thanks Heather for letting me try these strains and to all the team from Fastbuds, also shout out to Bella from Spider-Farmer for giving me their lights to test. Also, big shout out to all who've stopped by. I look forward to seen your diaries, so be sure to drop a like. Either way, I appreciate you dropping by.

Zamnesia Seeds has got some fire genetics as we can see from the photos this bud looks phenomenal ... She is on day 78 and only getting water from here on out I expect to be giving her the chop in the next week I wish I could have her dried and cured for Christmas but that doesn't seem likely .. but I do know for the beginning of the year we will have some good smoke... Hope everyone is doing well and so are there ladies good luck to all God bless and happy growing โœŒ๏ธ๐Ÿ˜Ž https://www.zamnesia.com/us/
