**Week 8 - Third Week of Flower** Things are getting wild in the Donutz tent! After the insane stretch last week, the plants have turned the space into a full-on jungle. The start of Week 8 called for drastic measures, and the results are setting the stage for explosive bud production. **Key Updates**: - **Aggressive Defoliation**: On Day 1 of the third flower week, the plants underwent a *brutal* defoliation. Every bud site that had started to develop its own leaves was stripped of its fan leaves, allowing light to flood the canopy. Even the smallest sites now have excellent exposure, giving them the best chance to mature into chunky nugs in the coming weeks. Despite the intensity of the trim, the plants are resilient and primed to bounce back strong. - **Boosted Nutrients**: To support the plants after the stress of defoliation, I added another 5-6g of Greenhouse Feeding Bloom per plant. This ensures the soil stays nutrient-rich and gives the plants the resources they need to recover and thrive. - **Watering**: Still rocking reverse osmosis (RO) water, ensuring clean and efficient hydration without any surprises. **Observations**: - The canopy is significantly cleaner and more open, with light now reaching deeper into the lower sections. - The plants are handling the defoliation well, with no immediate signs of stress or shock. - Bud sites are already looking promising, with visible development and an even distribution across the canopy. **Looking Ahead**: The next few weeks will be all about letting the plants recover and watching the buds stack up. With improved light penetration and a fresh dose of nutrients, everything is lined up for some impressive development. The Donutz are thriving, and the Florida Gang vibes are at an all-time high — the tent is set to deliver big!

3 of the ladies are in flush will be cutting them down within the next or 2 & the other 2 probably have another month left! Fingers crossed for harvest!🤞🏼✌️🏼🌱

This girl has shocked me so much for short stuff seeds this girl has grown an extra 7 inches with in 4 days an is showing a lot more bud sights, just need her to fatten up with a bit more frost, new nutrients this week and managed to get a co2 bag in there as well happy growing 💨 🌲

Frosty strain ,sticky icky icky0

ACOP was a small and bushy one.. I was a bit worried about her in the beginning of her grow becouse she was germinated with her root in a knot (im not even kidding.. i wish i made a pic of that, it was a funny sight 😁) So she had to fight to keep up with the rest but after i added some canna zym and PK 13-14 in the mix..then she finally 'perked up' a bit and started to show off her sparkly, orangy buds! She smells really nice, but i got to say.. i have got a soft spot for oranges (especially the sparkly ones !😁👊) Smoke review: this one does not only gives me inspiration to write and paint.. it even gives me the energy and focus to do it! Its an hybrid, they say its 50/50.. Im not gonna argue with that ofcourse but for me, its not one i can't vape before night time..(usually i can, even with hybrids of 50%) yes, i feel my body relaxing and my chronic pain fades into the background but still .. i cant get to sleep But that does not mean im not loving her! i Just needed something like that: something to keep me focussed and at the same time, very medicinal so i can get some stuff done! finally😁👏 (luckily i have few indicas for bedtime 😎👍) BIG thnx DUTCH PASSION for letting me try this seed!🙏 happy growing for all ✊

WOW LOOK AT DAT!!!! DAT PLANT IS LOOKING VERY VERY GOOD!!!! BUDS ARE SO STICKY AND SMELLY TRICHOMES ARE PERFECT!!!! I WILL HARVEST DAT PLANT VERY VERY SOON!!!!😎 PLEASE COME AGAIN!!!!!

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/

Que pasa familia, vamos con la primera semana de vida de estas Lemonpaya feminizadas de fastbuds. Vamos al lío , las 3 semillas que germinaron con éxito se colocaron en macetas de 0.6 litros y asomaron 3 , 100% ratio germinado. El ph se controla en 6.2 , la temperatura la tenemos entre 20/22 grados y la humedad ronda el 50%. El ciclo de crecimiento puse 18h de luz, el foco está al 75% de potencia. Hasta aquí todo, Buenos humos 💨💨💨

Comeing on a treat. Just seing signs of pistols as of yesterday! One had a suspected mag deficiency.unsure why as other ones all fine. Did a foliar of epsom salts. Hasn't got any worse. One smells of sour apples and other is fruity apples! Amazing. Can't wait to see what there like in the next 3 4 weeks!

Plants still stretching. I cleaned the bottoms from small branches and leaves, to give more energy to main buds.

They are moving quickly these days! I’m using FF nutrients, then just water, then a mixture of molasses, recharge, and epsom salt, and then water again. Not sure if I’m overdoing it but they seem happy.

Hey Cannafam, Well we've come to end for my Gauva gal and today i've decided to harvest. We are expecting some bad weather starting tomorrow for the week, and i don't want her to get ruined. Trichomes are mostly cloudy with a few clears and its best to harvest slightly early rather than run the budrot gauntlet! The weather has been a good deal cooler over the past week and this had been a good turn as her her leaves have rapidly changed colour, shes rapidly turned into a dark purple, pink and red beauty 😊 Temps for Wednesday/Thursday were 22c day 14c night with rain on both days, but it has been dry since with nice sun. Friday to today 20c in the day and dropping down to 12c at night. Humidity has remained generally high for most of the week at an average of 75%, although this has now come down to 53% for today, and daylight is at 13 hours 59 minutes. Shes had one feed at the beginning of the week and plain waterings since. Her buds have filled out and are looking nice and chunky. Smell is a nice kinda fruity sugary candy waft which is very pleasant but not overpowering. For the harvest ive taken the bigger fan leaves and also a few of the larger sugar leaves, shes been hung up in the garage for drying, which i anticipate take a couple of weeks and il then do a dry trim. I don't have hanging scales for wet weight but i'l give the final result when dry. Throughout this gal has been absolutely solid and i would definitely grow again, but i may try another of the FastBuds/Mephisto crosses next year outside as from what i've seen they are a strong marriage 💪💪💪 Until the final update, thank you to anyone who has liked or commented. I hope you have enjoyed this diary and may you be happy and well 😊✌️💚 ******** Update********** Well this gal took 12 days to dry and has been curing just under a week. She came in at 64 grams so just over 2.25 ounces a really top result and the harvest will last me a good long time 😊 I generally cure for 4 weeks and im using the boveda 62% packs for long term storage. When you open the jar you get a sugary sweet candy smell a bit like sherbert with fruity undertones, and this is definitely the sweetest smelling strain that i've grown 😊 In the vaporizer at 200c she gives a sweet tasting toke sugary and kinda flowery tasting, which is a pleasant combo, she instantly unwinds the mind, makes you smile and within minutes any tension in the muscles goes. The high is not to overwhelming but still hits well, is uplifting and makes you smile to yourself. I I also found this one very good for pain relief from my muskoseletal issues and found that all pain in my hands arns and back was gone for a good couple of hours. This is good daytime strain for being chill but active. To anyone checkin in i hope youve enjoyed this diary, and il see you soon 💚

🌱: 💧 : 8l 💡 : Dli: 45 mol/m²/d 🤔: Switch to 0,4ml/l PK 13-14 on day 53

Harvested for that last time, taking away 130 grams dry weight adding up to a total of 200 grams dry weight, with a little more incoming, as said before, give this strain a good warm end of summer and autumal and this plant will yield kilos! I hope my breeding pays off and i bred in autoflower genetics, we will find out sooon.

Englisch version below Tag 62 Grow Tag 8 Blüte: Anfang der zweiten Blütewoche und der Streach lässt langsam nach. Beim gestriegen Gießen des Compost-Teas habe ich vergessen, den PH-Wert der Flüssigkeit anzupassen - Aufgefallen ist mir das erst nachdem der halbe Topf schon drin war. Heute zeigen sie jedoch keine Reaktion auf eventuelle Missstände des PH-Werts im Substrat. Am Ende dieser Woche ist eine letzte aber Gründliche Entlaubung geplant. Dannach läuft der Grow fast im Autopilotmodus ins Ziel. Die Lampe ist nun auf 100% bei ca. 900 ppfd. Tag 66 Grow Tag 11 Blüte: Gestern wurde mit 25L gegossen - aktuell muss alle 3-5 Tage gegossen werden. Es entsteht ca. 1L drain. Das große Lolli-Popping war heute. Die unteren 30% wurden dabei radikal entfernt und auch ausgewählte Seitentriebe, die es nicht mehr nach oben schaffen werden. Auch der größere teil der Sonnensegel wurde entfern um mehr Licht auch an die unteren Buds zu bekommen. Außerdem wurde ein SCROG-Netz eingespannt um die Pflanze zu unterstützen. Das Netz wurde mit 2 Gewindestangen gespannt um das Zelt möglichst voll auszunutzen -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day 62 – Grow Day 8 – Flowering Phase: At the beginning of the second flowering week, the stretch phase is gradually slowing down. During yesterday’s watering with the compost tea, I forgot to adjust the pH value of the liquid. I only noticed this after about half of the pot had already been watered. However, today the plants show no visible reaction to any potential pH imbalance in the substrate. At the end of this week, one final but thorough defoliation is planned. After that, the grow should run almost on autopilot toward the finish. Day 66 – Grow Day 11 – Flowering Phase: Yesterday, 25 liters of water were applied. Currently, watering is required every 3–5 days, resulting in approximately 1 liter of runoff. Today, the major lollipopping was carried out. The lower 30% of the plants were removed quite aggressively, along with selected side shoots that would no longer reach the canopy. A large portion of the fan leaves was also removed to allow more light to reach the lower buds. In addition, a SCROG net was installed to support the plants. The net was tensioned using two threaded rods to make the most efficient use of the tent space.

Requiere mantener bastante baja la humedad en las últimas semanas ya que lo grueso de las colas las hace propensas a la botrytis, ojo ahí. La planta en si es resistente pero es el grosor de sus flores, lo denso de las colas lo que te obliga a tener muy controlada la humedad en etapas avanzadas, creo que es más para tirarla programando la flora para el verano

She’s finally down 😸 I finished harvesting the lower buds this morning. Most of the buds appeared to have matured. Filled another one and a half hangers, I can’t get over how much this plant has produced. All the buds feel solid to the touch and the trichome coverage is phenomenal. She’s got a really sweet gassy aroma, with a funky backend. I’ve done a final trim on all the top/mid buds, they’re just having a few more days to finish up. Sorry for the lack of pictures, I 100% plan on doing a final smoke report update with an overall yield and plenty of pictures. Made a small test batch of rosin from the final trim, came out fantastic, it’s retained all the smell, it’s ridiculously strong and smokes extremely smooth 😻. I’d like to thank everyone who’s had a look, commented or liked this diary. I hope it’s been helpful in some way 😸. Another fantastic strain by In House Genetics, if you are looking for premium quality flowers grab a pack! —————————————————— SMOKE REPORT & FINAL WEIGHT —————————————————— For some reason it won’t let me add the final smoke report so I’m adding it here underneath 😸🤷‍♂️ hopefully it’ll be seen. I’ve finally got round to trimming the last of the Slurricane and I was amazed with how well she yielded. I got 9 ounces of solid buds that are covered in a ridiculous amount of trichomes! I don’t have any way of testing her but she looks like a 30%+ THC content, absolutely phenomenal buds. I also got 2 ounces of smaller leafier buds that were round the bottom of the plant and a stupid amount of premium quality trim. All this has been frozen to make into Rosin at a later date. The Buds themselves have a unique smell and taste, it’s gassy, but has a strange sweet taste that lingers In the mouth. I’ve never really had anything like it before. She packs an absolute punch! Immediate flushing to the face whether it be Rosin or Flower, I’d say she leans more to the indica side of things, but that could just be me 🤷‍♂️ All the top buds have had a weeks cure and are smoking unbelievably smooth even at this stage 😸 I’m storing some of it in a jar and I’ve posted a pic of the bottom of it, it’s almost completely white from the loose trichomes that have shaken off 😻. The Rosin I’ve made so far has been fantastic and I’ve only used trim, I’ve yet to press any flower, but I reckon she should give some decent returns! Overall she’s ticked a lot of the boxes for things I look for in a decent keeper plant. I’ve got a mother clone vegging so I’ll be running groups in the future. Great plant, great smoke 😻🌱💚

It’s day 43 of flower! All of the plants look great! I’m going to start dialing back the light intensity slowly over the next couple weeks. Harvest time is getting close

What a beautiful happy plant. it is really taking off vertically after being one of the slower starters in veg
