Ya estamos a medio camino del proceso, las plantas se ven sanas y con una leve ventaja de la Red Strawberry Banana #2, la cual muestra una floración mas adelantada que la #1 como muestran los videos. Se nota un tono purpura mas oscuro en la R.S.Banana #2 y un tono mas claro en la R.S.Banana #1, la cual muestra un tallo de gran proporción quizás por un leve exceso de Nitrógeno.

I experimented with this as it was a free seed and I wanted to see what would happen if I removed any additional nodes and just kept focus on the man node/ cola. She weighed in a solid ounce dry maybe less give or take a few days of curing/ drying. Smoked really nice and packed a punch which kinda made me regret using this beautiful strain in my experiment as I would have loved more from her but at the same time she taught me a lot with regards to nutrient levels and how plants react depending on which way they're trained or defoliated which has really helped me with future grows so for that I will certainly be running this strain again! Thanks Barneys ... Awesome genetics as per usual 👏

Hello Growmies, As we round up week 5 with our Watermelon Candy F1 Hybrid by Zamnesia, the growth has been nothing short of impressive. The choice to employ low-stress training (LST) rather than topping has paid dividends, with the plants responding well to the gentle guidance of their growth, seamlessly integrating into the SCROG setup. This method has allowed for an even canopy spread, optimal light penetration, and air flow, which is critical for the health of the plants and ultimately the yield. Observing the Watermelon Candy's development, we see a testament to our cultivation methods. The vibrant green leaves reaching skywards, the sturdy stems, and the strategic placement of each branch in the SCROG—every detail points towards a successful vegetative phase. In terms of environmental control, we've applied the lessons learned from our other strains, maintaining a stable and ideal VPD during the day with the Tent-X system. The nights, however, have brought forth the same challenges we've faced with other strains, showing fluctuations in VPD levels. The integration of the Smart Mars Hydro fan into the Tent-X system is anticipated to solve this, and we are optimistic that this change will bring about the consistent conditions needed for the Watermelon Candy's continual thriving. Even with the small hiccup in the nighttime environmental control, the plants are flourishing. The robust health they exhibit is a sign they're ready for the flowering phase, and we expect nothing less than a bountiful harvest. And while we've experienced a bit of frustration with Secret Jardin and Mars Hydro for the integration challenges, we appreciate TrolMaster's efforts to assist. We are hopeful for a resolution soon, or we may revert to the reliable Prima Klima setup. As we move forward, the focus remains on the consistent monitoring and adjusting of their environment to ensure these Watermelon Candy F1 Hybrids realize their full potential. Stay lifted, Salokin

Hello colleagues! After 10 days of Flush, I finally started harvesting. Due to the difference in phenotypes (the green ones showed a pink tint at the end), there was a slight desynchronization in ripening, but overall I was satisfied with the result. I prefer to trim the still fresh harvest, and I do it twice - the first time I remove large leaves (these are in the trash), the second time I shape the buds (this sugar trim for the cannakitchen) Then I will dry the harvest in a dark box with the exhaust fan on for about 8-10 days. Just in case, let the ventilation fan work for the first three days too. After that, I will summarize the results, come and have a look😎 Thank you for stopping by, and be healthy! 🙏 To be continued... 😶

August 17th. 64 days post flip. Plants growing very well. Still moving buds out from under the viparspectra every couple days. The one pot with two plants in in require watering every two days too avoid drying out. Buds are still growing new pistals. I have some browning of pistals which is concerning as it looks like it’s pollinated but I believe that is part of these sativas. At this point I believe I have about 60 days left. I also believe flowering is really just beginning. And we will see these buds fattening here shortly. I added in one of my larger fans from the automatic tent, wanted to increase airflow at this stage. I also removed some of the lower buds that were getting dirty when I watered. Parents: Growing very well. Simply going to continue watering every day or two. I have 1.5 cubic feet of elite living soil coming as I’m upgrading the auto tent from a 15 to a 30 gallon which will give me some extra soil to give these gals and guy. Thank you guys for viewing my diary and god bless.

Run-off got pretty high on the plants in the main tent when I tested it this week (2300ppm) so I flushed the plants down to around 900 over a few water events with half-strength nutes (~450). I think this, plus (mainly) the plants being too close to the LED caused them to throw some foxtails - particularly the middle plant (although I still think that spindly shit is also partly due to the bag seed pheno). Noob mistake on my end and I didn't realize until it was too late. Now the light is turned down and the run-off is back in a good range. It got high because my auto-watering halos were mostly running off the pots and not sinking in - this is because I filled the pots to the brim with coco (another noob mistake). Looks like I'm hand watering until harvest :) Big Mumma in the blurple tent on the other hand is still killing it.. Apologies for having to upload videos of the microscope - too hard to hold it still and press the button for photos lol.

Start of week six of flower, pk 13/14 week. All is ticking over very nicely, buds getting fatter every day and the smell is fantastic. Looking forward to smoking this one. Have to say there has been no signs of any problems she is a strong genetic.

Best smoke I've had in years!!!!

Week 13 (Aug/1/2024-Aug/7/2024) DAY85 - Nothing new. Water, check, repeat. Added Kelp Meal for nutrients this week. I am thinking how I will separate the plants this week--they're starting to bunch up together--staggered may be the best option to minimize space in the garden. DAY 89 - Gave one of the girls to my buddy. Helped with the bunching of the plants in a limited space. They're a lot to handle when you harvest alone. Kept the tall one, the short two(LST), the different one in the 45 gallon pot, and the bushy one(LST-ish). By the way: I include germination as part of the day count. So basically day 1 is when I put the seed in water. These seeds all rooted within 48 hours.

Been having unseasonally warm weather I also do grow in my attic as to keep it away from my family and children, and it can get much hotter in here Sometimes during the day temperatures can exceed 90°F in the tent for just a couple hours But as soon as sun goes down, temperatures drop back down to suitable Banana Purple punch is really thickening up in the main colas, a few side branches are straggling a little bit. Smell is like a semi sweet with some strong gassy notes Tropicana cookies is looking and growing excellently. It does appear to be fox tailing slightly but I actually like that phenotype when it comes to looks! The smell is unbelievable truthfully, the best I’ve ever smelled in all my years of smoking! The most sweetest, pungent, sweet candy and fruit like an aroma I have ever smelled never once have I wanted to eat a bud but I want to eat this one. lol Gonna keep them in soil as long as possible! Warm weather is kinda coming up for me, but I will keep water basins full and feed when ne

The week went again pretty uneventful, other than me not getting the tip burn under control. I have further reduced base nutrients, removed the green sensation (simply because I ran out ;)) and increased pk 13/14 further. The buds continue to develop new pistils and continue to swell. The trichomes look mostly milky at this stage, I will however wait until I have around 20%-25% amber. I have cut a bud from the lower canopy (pictures attached), which is quite solid to touch and had a wet weight of roughly 1,2 gr and is currently drying. Overall the bud structure on this plant looks amazing the buds a re super dense, nicely clustered around the stems and she looks like she'll be a joy to trim.
