Hello to everybody and welcome back for the weekly report.
As of today we are completing the third week of vegetation and was definitely a good week.
The plant reached 15 cm of height and is starting to look pretty decent!
I love the vivid and nice green colors of this Titan F1, this make me think that I am treating the plant in the right way and is healthy. AT LEAST I HOPE.
If we go a bit deeper in the rabbit hole actually this week couple of things went on.
First at all I was away for almost a week so to compensate my absence I did water the plant before leaving...with ABUNDANCE, maybe even a little too much :) That much water that basically I didn't add anymore for the next 8 days, basically till today.
However the plant didn't complain and keept growing strong.
The lighting now is ALWAYS full power. 100%. 24/7 no stop.
The temperature is always between 21 and 23, the perfect spot.
Humidity is somewhere between 44% and 50%
Today was the FIRST watering WITH nutrients from BioBizz. 1 liter of water, the vase didn't drain off. I think is good. If somebody is interested about the nutrients is all documented in my diary with ml, type and liters. Week by week.
This was the first watering with nutrients, lets see what will happen in the next 3/4 days. I am really curious to see how the plant will react to the drugs :)
Also something else very important is that in 2 or 3 days I will also apply some LST and bend the leaves outward. I want this plant to be kinda compact and that as much light as possible is directed to the flowers where eventuality it will be needed. I must be careful, I was reading a lot of Titan diaries and noticed that they had plenty of broken branches due to LST. I just hope to don't make damages or cause excessive stress. We will see how it will go.
Next week probably I will do also some defoliation if the plant gets too bushy, dunno yet which leaves cut off but I can and will manage, uncle google is my friend :)
Last picture are plants of chilli Ghost peppers, spicy stuff, they are growing together in harmony with the Titan F1.
I hope eventually I can enjoy both of them cuz I love to get high and suffer from capsaicin :) :)
Jokes a side, basically I am just fuckin around and looking what I can come up with.
The last plant is a carnivorous plant, the one that closes the trap and basically eats alive the prey. Pretty cool stuff that's why has the honour to grow next to the green dope!
I think that's all for this week and we see at the end of next week! Good luck to everybody!

23.08
The Drainmaster moved into the tent to control the drain.
Defoliated and lollipopped them.
25.08
First run with the drain system.
Nutrient Solution (Tank):
Volume: 8.5 L
EC: 3.05
pH: 5.5
Nutrients: Advanced Nutrients Micro/Grow/Bloom + CalMag
Irrigation Run:
Pump time: 30 minutes
Total Drain: 5.0 L (β 60%)
Drain EC: 2.6
Drain pH: 6.0
π Observations
Drain volume was far too high (target is ~20%).
Drain EC lower than input EC β medium was relatively βemptyβ, plants absorbed nutrients quickly.
pH drift from 5.5 β 6.0 shows some buffering effect left in the reused substrate, but limited.
Substrate behaves more like coco than soil now (low buffer, fast response).
π‘ Insight / Lesson Learned
30 minutes pump time is way too long β resulted in 60% runoff instead of 20%.
For 8 Γ 1 L pots, a single irrigation event should be ~1.0β1.2 L total, with ~200β250 ml runoff.
Solution: shorten pump time to ~5 minutes and re-test runoff.
Better approach: run shorter, more frequent irrigations (daily) with a lower EC (2.0β2.2), instead of heavy feedings (EC 3.0) only 3Γ per week.
This will keep EC more stable in the root zone and prevent salt buildup in the tiny 1 L pots.
27.08
Adjusted the pump timer to 5 minutes, gave the first dose of PK13/14.

Hey now, hope everyone is having a great weekend and staying safe. Another great week for the ladies, as they are now about 2 weeks into flower, and the stretch is winding down. I am still feeding them silica, cal mag, and flower nutrients maxi bloom by GHE. I will start to add a PK booster this week. I also will be switching to light from V1 to F1 sometime this week, and also integrating the UV/IR bar into the light cycle later this week. I will run the UV/IR bar for approximately 30 minutes prior to lights off to get started.
The 5X5 is really starting to fill up nicely, I am running two dehumidifiers outside of the tent and I am able to maintain around 50% RH in the tent during lights on, and around 55% RH with lights off.
Still very happy with the Spectrum X from Medic Grow. I am running her at 90% in the V1 cycle and will be transitioning to the F1 cycle later this week. Overall, the plants seem very happy and healthy. The temperature and humidity is significantly dropping so that helps keeping the tent cool and not overly humid. This is by far the best time of year to be flowering plants in my region.
I hope everyone has a great weekend, Thanks for stopping by, Stay Safe and Blaze On!!! πͺ

This week was a big week for the candy cush. I noticed upon watering her to run off, that in the same day the pot would go super dry and light weight. I also noticed stress in the leaves and roots poking out the bottom of the pot. It was time for a transplant. So far so good! Upon transplanting i performed more LST to help her fill in the pot. She went from a 1 gallon to a 5 gallon. She was also defoliated thia week.

Hi all π
Welcome to my πππ week update.
Hope everyone keeping well and having a great week.
Thank you so much for your all support on this bananas journey ππππ
What a amazing week. Very little to work around those beauties. The smell is so delicious already. They smells like sweet berries. Buds are loaded with trichomes, very sticky and hard as rocks especially on Athena. Trichomes are mainly clear and some parts milky. Absolutely love power of LST and how it worked on this strain. If you won't look under net it's almost impossible to see which cola belongs to main stem.
Week 11
Dec 25 - Dec 31
Dec 25-26
Joyful observation
Dec 27
Selective defoliation and
First watering for this week. Nutes adjusted, almost 8ltr between both. Runoffs PH on both at 6.2. I am finding this PH level for this strain as perfect. Girls are looking super healthy and drinking they mixture like crazy.
Dec 28-30
All is going smoothly. I can see more and more weight each day.
Dec 31
Secomd watering foe this week. 8 ltr beetwen both.
It's the last day of this week and also end of 2023!!
See you in the new year πΎπ₯π
Peace and love brothers and sisters βοΈπ

Welcome to week 10. 7/9-15 Grow family, friends and followers, for the most part, I've basically been flushing 3 gallons each plant every 2 days. I think it is helping both Gaia and Circe recover from nutrient lock out. I see tufts of new flowers forming on some top buds. In the flushing, I still see tea color run off but I will return to feeding very lightly this week. Measurements for one gallon but make 4 or 5 gallons of fertilizer solution.
7/9 flushed ladies with 3 gallons and picture day.
7/ 10 I already feel behind on this week. I had to rush watering my plants in the tent yesterday so I could prep the sides and condiments for a cookout. After eating we played games then, called it early as a storm was heading our way. I was going to do my diary up date last night but the storm took out our power. So today loaded yesterdays pics
7/11 ferigating day. All got flushed 3 gallons of water. After using, then I fertilized with additional 1gals
Fertilizer TPS1 15 ml in 4 gal
Signal 7.5 ml in 4 gal
Each plant received 1gal.
Also baking day -Banana Brownie recipe in week 2 Natrona's recipe diary. This is free of eggs, gluten and sugar.
And I'm trying to create videos. Tried adding music and adding my IG avatar. Needs work and for me, sure didn't come easy.
7/12 I added a humidifier to the tent yesterday to bring VPD in line. It's getting too hot and with low humidity, the vpd is bordering on the red zone. Temps are heating hotter here so our a/c has to work harder and still not doing the cooling necessary. It is also cooling the tent by about 5 degrees.
The drip trays were empty this morning. That means that after ferigating yesterday, any runoff in the bins was drank overnight. I did not top off the drip bins with tap water today. I'm letting them go a day or two without any water. I'm seeing more new tufts of hairs on lower buds. Yay.π
7/13 water only and pictures.
Also made osteoarthritis lotion.. week 3 Natrona's recipes
7/14 checking in. The girls are doing fine. No water today and bins are dry. Also at 10x magnifying, I am starting to see trichomes π Pics taken.
7/15 Ferigate day. flushed with 1 gal each then fertilized in 4 gal 22ml TPS1 and 9ml Signal
Thanks for stopping by,

Overall this plant was great to grow, she just grew and was happy doing it the entire time, pretty good yield off a plant that was only about 12inches tall. Seemed to be a lot more resistant to deficiencies then the other two strains this grow. Definitely a great mid-day Smoke!

The OG Kush has wrapped up week 4 of flower. She got a healthy defoliation to expose bud sites, and is now on track to bulk up. She's been moved to the center of the tent for the rest of the grow. She's recharged and on cruise control from here on out...only removing dead leaves. Starting to smell like a funky citrus fruit. Still pretty light on the nose and trichome production has been minimal.

End of week 4/Day 34
plant is still really small but its flowering :) has a nice smell between a green veg plant and a cheese strain :) and im really excited to try the buds from this one, cant wait to be relaxed haha.
im going to make sure the plants are 60cm away from the light for flowering as they are all in the flowering stage now :) im going to be giving more canna B in flowering for P and K instead of N. check out my Quick One and Royal Dwarf diaries :) i guess its just a waiting game now. it was a nice learning experience this time round but i was very unsure about everything. i have to give myself some applause tho as ive reached flowering :) next grow im doing a diesel auto, gg auto and maybe a sweet Zz (grapefruit x grape ape) as my first photoperiod :) we'll see how things go. please leave any advice or comments :) thank you for following my diaries!
I picked up some iceberg lettuce seeds too so keep an eye out for those! :D
Day 35 - 29/10/19 haloween is almost here and i cant wait to get me some π.
Flushed the fast eddy plant and it had 1160 ppm with a ph of 6.08. im assuming ppm of 800-1160 is hurting my plant, full of salts too. mixing up feed now to give to her. i should have had it sitting ready but i mixed up the bottles so i had to start over π. the smell off this plant isnt like the other generic weed strains, its got a real powerful potent cheese smell coming from it, and its very compact and tight, i think i actually got 2 buds merging into one hahaha. the sugar leaves look amazing too :) need to pick up a jewelers loupe or something of the sort to start watching the pistils and trichomes :) other than that im gonna start feeding her 4ml Canna A, 4ml Canna B, 3ml Rhizotonic, 3ml Cannazym.
i did the flush yesterday with quick one and growth is just exploding again, its crazy how noob proof these plants are, still i think id prefer to have more control with photoperiods.
Day 37 - 31/10/19
Plant enjoyed the flush! its very hard to see the flowering growth as it is very close together surrounded by healthy leaves. Has a lovely cheese smell, compared to a full cheese strain im getting hints of what could be the juanita la lagrimosa :) from the way this is developing and forming buds im not even worried about the size anymore. its looking likely to be good quality smoke :)
Basically no flowering stretch so less yeild i think :) im a happy grower so thats all that matters haha. until next week folks! and HAPPY HALLOWEEN TO ALL!!!!

Smell starting to kick in πLooks like we have Pineapple pheno on our hands here! π
Increase feed on Boost and base nutrients, tho EC was one decimal less than last week due to lower tap water of EC 0.4 (previous week 0.5).
Conducted major and final defoliation at the end of this week, arms and hands were so sticky had to wash them with meth.
Vertical height starting to take space with even nug formation straight up (Stretch Rate: 1 - 2 Inches per day).
