Done the first round of training this week, they're also showing some dificiences but I corrected them with some Grow and CalMag. The difference between the Big bang and Auto Banana Blaze is showing with how quickly they're reacting to nutrients. Banana was way quicker just a few days till I saw some resaults. With the Big bang it takes a week.

🌿 Woche 4 – Vegetative Phase (27. Oktober – 2. November 2025) Nach drei Wochen stabiler Entwicklung ging es in Woche 4 in die entscheidende Aufbauphase. Die Pflanzen haben sich sichtbar verdichtet, die Kronen geschlossen, und die Spider Farmer SE3000 liefert bei 55 % Leistung (≈ 480 µmol/m²/s) gleichmäßiges Licht über die gesamte Fläche. Am 27. Oktober war dann der große Eingriff fällig: erstes Topping und leichte Entlaubung bei allen sechs Pflanzen. Das Ziel: strukturierter, flacher Wuchs – die Basis für das kommende LST-Training und ein gleichmäßiges Canopy. 🗓️ Chronologie Woche 4 27.10. ✂️ Erstes Topping + Entlaubung Alle 6 Pflanzen getoppt (oberste Nodie entfernt). Je 1–2 untere Blätter/Triebe entfernt. Keine Stresssymptome danach. 28.10. 🌱 Erholungsphase Blätter wieder aufgerichtet, neue Spitzen sichtbar. Kein Gießen. Licht 55 % @ 60 cm Abstand. 29.10. Kontrolle & Beobachtung Erde weiter getrocknet. Wurzeln an Topfböden sichtbar → Umtopf-Zeitpunkt erreicht. 30.–31.10. (geplant) 💡 Klima & Licht (Woche 4) 27.–29.10. 55 % 60 cm 25–26 °C 55–60 % Optimales vegetatives Klima, keine Hitzespitzen. 30.–31.10. 50 % 65 cm 24–25 °C 60–65 % Nach Umtopfen zur Stressminderung. 01.–02.11. 60–65 % 60 cm 25 °C 60 % Wieder Aufbau der Lichtintensität nach Erholung. 🌱 Strain-Layout / Pflanzenstatus Front L/R Cherry Poppers 🍒 Kompakt, kräftig, gleichmäßiger Austrieb nach Topping Bereit für LST ab 5.–6. Nov. Center-L (gelb) Karate Kit 🥋 Etwas gedrungener, dunkles Grün, kräftige Mitte Wuchs leicht langsamer, aber stabil. Center-R (terracotta) Lemon Orange 🍋 Größte Pflanze, sehr vital, breite Blätter Beim Umtopfen leicht tiefer setzen. Back L/R White Gorilla Haze ×2 🦍 Buschig, dichte Struktur, kräftige Stiele Leichte Mg-Symptome → Bittersalzgabe nach Umtopfen. 💧 Gieß- & Nährstoffplan (Übersicht Woche 4 + Vorschau) 24.10. Düngung (vor Woche 4) Orgatrex 2 ml/L 0,9–1,1 L Letztes Vorgießen in 5 L-Töpfen 27.–29.10. — — — Keine Bewässerung, Substrat trocknet für Umtopfen. 30.–31.10. Anwässerung Bactrex 1 g/L 0,8–1 L Nur zur Wurzelaktivierung, kein Orgatrex. 03.–04.11. Erste Nachdüngung Orgatrex 1,8 ml/L + Bittersalz 0,5 g/L (nur WGH) 1 L pH 6,2–6,4, langsames Angießen. 07.–08.11. Nur Wasser — 1–1,2 L Erhaltung der Bodenfeuchte, keine Zugabe. 🧠 Beobachtungen & Pflege Erholungsphase: 1–2 Tage nach Topping leicht verlangsamtes Wachstum, danach starke Triebneubildung. Bodenleben: aktiv, feine Myzelstrukturen sichtbar. Keine Mangelanzeichen: außer leichtem Mg-Bedarf bei White Gorilla Haze. LST: Beginn voraussichtlich 03.–06. November (sobald neue Triebe 4–5 cm lang sind). Entlaubung: keine weitere vor Mitte November. ✅ Fazit – Woche 4 (27. Oktober – 2. November) Diese Woche war der Übergang vom Aufbau zur Strukturphase. Das Topping am 27. Oktober hat den Wuchs geformt und die Basis für das spätere Training gelegt. Die Pflanzen zeigen kräftige Triebe, gesunde Farbe und aktives Wurzelwachstum. Mit dem Umtopfen zum Wochenende beginnt die letzte große Wachstumsphase der Vegi-Stage. Vitales, harmonisches Wachstum, starker Wurzeltrieb, perfekte Vorbereitung für den „großen Umzug“.

Hey now, I hope everyone is having a great weekend. This week went pretty good for the Strawberry Banana Auto, I did go out of town for 4 days and my PH got too high in my reservoir so that set me back a couple days or so but the plants still look pretty healthy, I did notice a couple rust colored spots on the lower most leaves of this plant. She is topped and I did a light defolilation yesterday and some LST just to try and keep a level canopy. The tomatoes are looking great as well as enjoying the runoff from the cannabis, got my first flowerson them this week. In the tent I am still running the Spectrum X at 60% power in V1 mode which is the veg mode and it is keeping the plants very green, bushy, and with tight internodal spacing. I will continue LST and slowly make the change to flower nutes as soon as the stretch is about over. Thanks for stopping by, Stay Safe and Blaze On!!! 💪 Website: https://medicgrow.com/ https://growdiaries.com/grower/medicgrowled

Commencing Week 10 - 2nd week of flowering - Day 64 from germination - Day 14 of 12/12 on December 26th All is awesome! 😁 Although all plants have hairs right now, 818#1&2, BH2, & GZ2 (especially 818s) seem to start throwing hairs just a few days before the rest. RD is stretching out rather nicely and is working in sync to make a nice level and full canopy. Have noticed the pH of the nutrient solution now swings very low with every plant, especially the bigger ones, within 24 hrs going from 5.8 down to 3.8-4.3. I pH back up accordingly every day. Lastly I decided to go with "bonsai" training instead of topping. (This is in order to keep plants growing at a steady pace - non-stunting - while taking away the apical shape that is natural for some strains.). I "bonsai'd" The following: GZ1&2&3, AND 818#1. Simply put I coiled bonsai wire around the main cola and bent below the next lowest node /tier (see photos) The other s: RD, BH 1&2, and 818#2 have a natural level/close to level shape. D.65/15 Started tucking leaves and light stress training. So far I have taken only 3-4 leaves off per plant. And other than coiled the Apex cola they are been untouched. Also to balance out the pH drop, I have been pHing to the 6.0-6.2 range. Seems to steady the solution better so I will continue. Lastly I have put both the fans and the oxygen pumps on a 15m on 15 m off interval throughout the 24 hr day. I thought it might be risky however the plants seem not to mind, rather maybe even like this better. D.69/19 Yesterday I added a tiny bit of bloom food high in phosphate to help with the flowering since it's picking up now, as well as some extra Cal Mag and the plants seem happier because of it. And I have still been putting the pH a little higher, in the 6.1 range, rather than a 5.8 since it seems to be dipping low every time I check rather than going up. Also I put these pumps back on 24 hrs per day because after two days of being on for 12 hours her day they seemed not as happy as they were prior. Lesson learned with that one no harm done so that's a good thing. The raspberry diesel is really taking up the space wonderfully in between the four plants in the corners and is becoming almost + shaped really filling in the canopy just like the description online says don't vegfor long because the flower phase stretch is something to behold. 818 headband number one has a really beautiful medium sized stature not too short but not tall and lanky either and tons of Bud sites and is looking the most bud-filled already whether that means it will have the most yield or be done the fastest, or both we'll have to wait and see., All three of the Gorilla Zkittles seem to have slightly different phenotype variation one a little bit more sativa than the other two that are more hybrid looking. All 3 have very different root masses compared to the rest of the plants and are pretty big but one in particular is absolutely huge. (Comparisons will be posted in next week's update.) the Boss hogs also seem to have very different phenotype expressions as of now one is staying much more short and having a very level canopy naturally and no hairs, while the other is close to a level canopy but still has a little bit of that main cola dominant feature as well as a lot more hairs. Thank you watching hope your enjoying, the best is yet to come !!😁😁

As week 8 started, buds are gaining size. Plant is drinking lots of water. About. 3/4 a gallon a day to day 1/2. Added a second light to setup now. Hoping to help the flowering buds with extra light. Relocated my fan to help circulate air flow around more of the taper colas. Should have a around 3 week a left til harvest. Can’t wait to see how this first grow turns out and what to learn from it overall at the end.

Week 15, week 5 of flowering. SpliffSeeds is definitely a recommendable seed bank. I’m very happy with all the plants, they are all making dense and nice buds. See the pictures and the video, they talk by themselves. Last week at max feeding. Next week I will start to reduce the nootz solution slowly and might give the last feeding just before starting week 7 of flowering, it will depends on the flowers development and the tips of the leaves, we’ll see. Buds are getting heavier, needed to add bamboo sticks and to tie some tops. Particularly the Lemon Cream Kush. Do not defoliate a canopy at this stage, plants are laying and holding on the leaves of each other ! From now, as I mentioned, I keep an eye on the flowers development and the leaves, particularly the tips of the leaves. And will readjust nootz and watering from these indicators. That’s all for the week folks 😊 (I’m looking for a job in the Cannabis industry as Master Grower, Mineralogist, Quality Control)

*Jan26th-#plant2 was ready to cut Tuesday she's In the dry tent goon for a few days then will jar up. * Plant 1 is goin strong still. But they both are on a tap water diet till the end. We're at week 14 from seed and 8th week flower so should be done growing and filling out from here on hopefully.. Just glad the tents set up fully now with exhaust and dehumidifier so no more crazy spikes (would get up to 80% rh and 55°f .. cold and humid had me freaking out lol. But that's all sorted) All in all I'm happy with the lil test run on these, seeing how they did with minimal nutrients and light gives me hope for the next go. Still debating on running these with growdots , my next set will be with ganja farmer seeds and growdots. Should be fun may throw in a plat jelly or two aswell. We shall see once the beans get here.. As always tho. Appreciate anyone thst may leave suggestions or feedback. Always like gearing what u see or don't see . Helps get better so its mainly why I'm here . And thanks to anyone goin thru my rambles ,videos and photos. Hope everyone's grows are doing well, I'll be skipping around checking out what is going on .! Till next update take care gang !

I really notice the flowers on the northern lights. The three easy bud are following suit. My box is small and i am might be forced to move them if i cant get them trained. I have also seen a small hole in one leaf and what looks like a small bleach spot on newer leafs. Only two spots at the bottom.

Week 7 of flower in the books and the Kush is in the home stretch. Pistils are all turning orange and buds are getting thick and resinous. She's got a nice citrusy smell and the colas are all swaying in the breeze. Shout out to Seedsman for these stable genetics. No deficiencies or issues that I had to fix along the way. Really happy I still have a couple more seeds left over.
