Week 14 marks not only the completion of the first week of flowering but also a remarkable stretch in the growth of my green companions. It's like they've hit a growth spurt of epic proportions, reaching for the stars with leafy determination. They're like botanical skyscrapers, standing tall and proud in their green kingdom. Each week, these plants become more beautiful, like nature's own masterpiece unfolding before my eyes. The best part? There's no more discoloration on the leaves, and they're gobbling up nutrients without any negative side effects. It's like they've discovered the fountain of leafy youth, and they're thriving like never before. But amidst the leafy triumphs, there's a slight hiccup in the form of temperature. Throughout the day, the temperatures can reach a toasty 83 degrees. I have a Vivosun controller that's supposed to kick in the exhaust at 79 degrees, but it seems to be struggling to keep up. Looks like it's time to bring in the big guns and get an AC unit for my green haven. As I reflect on the journey so far, I can't help but feel a sense of awe and gratitude for these amazing plants. They've taught me patience, perseverance, and the true beauty of nature's artistry. Here's to Week 14 โ€“ a week of stretching, flowering, and the promise of a bountiful harvest. Cheers to my green companions โ€“ may they continue to grow and thrive in their leafy paradise! ๐ŸŒฟ

Due to construction and revamping of our space, we had to leave all seedlings in their germination dome for approximately a month before getting them into veg. In order to not run into any space issues within the small dome, these young plants were kept under a low-wattage fluorescent tube to avoid any growth which may have been "too vigorous." VEG WEEK 1: 03/09/2021: (Image 1) Each plant was potted into, and fed with the following nutrients during transplant: 1. 5l FF F1 medium 2. GHF: Biogrow - 15g worked into medium 3. Wormcastings (workd into medium and astop dress) 4. Organics Matter Mycoroot Supreme -placed at the bottom of the planting hole. 5. Watered each plant with a Silicon Plus feed solution . 07/09/2021: (Image 2) - All plants are now in 5l pos with Freedom Farms F1 medium, and are in their new veg home under a 3500K 320W Quantum Board. - The 3 weakest seedlings of the total 19 seeds (1x Crit and 2x PC) were placed on the left side of the tent, and in different pots, as they are obviously struggling and may not even make it into our final flower room.

Now that I got the environment stable, it's nice to see her bud sites popping up. Did a bit more LST on her and hopefully when Nicky (the photoperiod) is done, I can boost the lights to 18 hours a day.

The flagship of all my grow rooms, this is the strain you want to run into constant production I find strains the pack on the sugar, but will not bulk up and chunk up, in my option Seed Junky Genetics always delivers top notch seeds

Week 12, Day 83 from seed and 3rd day of flower.....The 5 day of this week officially marked the start of the flowering season!! So I flushed both of these bad boys with ph'd water for two days and then today I switched them to 12/12. I gave them their first dose of bloom nutrients and then lollipoped them as you can see, pixs . Grateful no issues to report for the past 3 weeks have been trouble-free!! I'm going to leave the MH bulb in for an additional 2 weeks to prevent any stretching before switching to the HPS. But so far they are still loving their environment. I'm also in the process of keeping clones of fat banana and hulkberry while i try this new strain of Peanut Butter Tree.

I tried wettrim and drytrim to understand what i prefer. The wettrim dried inside dryferm bags inside a drybox with ventilation that i build myself. The drytrim dried inside the tent and got a trim after 9 days. Havent tried the buds yet since they have to cure first but they smell very lemony so far. Curing happens in grovebags. Half of the bags also got a boveda to see the difference if its worth it for the future or not.

Edit: I came home from work after making my weekly log entry yesterday and I could smell my grow from my driveway... so I asked for help. THANK YOU OOZLEFINCH FOR THE HELP.. THIS IS WHY WE ASK FOR HELP... I left a question on here stating that my new canister wasn't working and asked for generic advise. He left an answer that pointed out the fact that my exhaust fan might be set waaaay to high... and it was! It turns out there's a limit to the amount of air that filter fan 'scrub', and my exhaust fan goes way over that limit even on 6 or 7.. I turned it down to 3 and the smell got better immediately. โ˜ฎ๏ธ Still on auto pilot at this point... I'm really close to harvest.. and I'm not even on day 60 ๐Ÿ˜ฒ. I created videos this weeks, they capture the plants in ways that a still picture just won't. My entire house stinks.. my neighbors are looking at my funny, and my wife thinks a family of skunks is hiding in our walls... I've never had this problem.. I even got a brand new carbon air scrubber and its not helping ๐Ÿคฃ Process/ Environment changes since last week: - To help preserve the terpenes I've been trying to lower my temperature, which is hard without an AC unit I'm not plugging in an ac just to grow some plants. I'm at 24- 26 degrees C (75 - 82 F). - I've been lowering my humidity accordingly to keep VPD in a good range - I lowered my lights closer to my plants, turning them up would just add to the heat. - I'm defoliating as much large fan leaves off as possible - My watering pH is at around 6.7 to 6.8.. I will not be flushing these plants - I rotate my plants every day to make sure I'm getting light to hit every node it can This week I'm pulling out the digital scope and doing the first trichome checks for these babies. The cheese auto is going to get the chop by the end of next week.. I hope you like the video I added of it.. it's the easiest plant I've ever grown and she's going to be FIRE. The blackberry auto is giving off a gas/berry smell and is very sticky to the touch. A beautiful triploid... my first and I hope to get many more. The Forbidden Runtz smells just like a zkittles does, it's bang on. Very dense very sticky buds. I almost tossed her during the seedling stage too due to her mutation. I'm glad I reconsidered โ˜ฎ๏ธ Thank you Fastbuds

Hey Cannafam, Its been a fairly good week for my gal, weve had wall to wall sunshine and shes loving life in the growth department. Shes had a couple of feeds and her colour has further improved. However she is being munched by various parties, her very lowest couple of leaves were covered on aphid eggs which i removed earlier in the week, also some further leaf miner damage although not extensive required removal of another couple of leaves and lastly frog hoppers having a nibble. To be honest im just glad its not slugs and shes weathering things well, although i have been looking for some ladybirds to pop on her, but so far no luck. Ive also popped her back on her hiding place as she is becoming much more noticable both in size and also smell. Shes also started getting her purps on and buds are now starting to develop proper ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ’œ The Sunshines set to continue for the next week so happy days ๐Ÿ˜Š Thanks for stopping by and stay safe โœŒ๏ธ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’š

They were showing signs of Ca and Mg deficiencies and I increased my CalMg additive at 350ppm before I add my base nutrients. They seem to love it.

Hi all ๐Ÿง‘โ€๐ŸŒพ Welcome to my ๐ŸŒ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ‘Š week update. Hope everyone keeping well and having a great week๐Ÿ˜ Thank you so much for so much support on this bananas ride ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ’š Everything still going pretty well. Girls are developing and stretching like crazy. Athena currently Dec 14 90cm and main stem of Xena is not far of this height either. Unfortunately noticed first signs of calcium deficiency(my opinion) on Athena. Thankfully started feeding both girls with calmag weeks back but the dosage wasn't not enough for Athena. Started small treatment very next day on Dec 11 (see description below) I belive got my baby back on right track. Week 9 Dec 11-17 Dec 11 Watering was planned for Tuesday but due to calcium deficiency decided for a little treatment. Watered both girls with mixture of reduced content of growth nutes by 50% calmag at 1.2 ml per ltr. Reduced solution PH to 6.2 as apperently it's ideal for calcium consumption. Over period 4h I have watered Athena with 5ltr with couple runoffs. Xena 3ltr. Total of 7-10 leaves affected mainly at top colas close to the light. Dec 12-13 Purely observation and all looking well. Of course all affected leaves will progres of showing signs but good news is that growth and development booming and don't see any new leaves with symptoms. Very nice trichomes development in recent days and more and more colours. Dec 14 Second watering for this week 6.5l Increased calmag to 1.4ml per ltr and if still things will be looking well reduce to 1 or 1.2 on next feeding. Dec 15 Very nice respond on yesterday feeding. They definitely fatten over night and getting more and more frosty. Will need to remove some foliage soon as getting extremely bushy again. Dec 17 Xenas main stem top cola almost touched the light today. Tied her to left side of the cabinet, applied selective defoliation on both girls, tied few branches to netting and on the end of this busy day a third watering for this week. 7 ltrs beetwen both. Runoffs Xena PH6.4 Athena 6.3. Very nice week have to say. I belive that calcium deficiency on Athena is no longer a case here and both girls developing very nicely. Both are still stretching, buds are gaining in size and both girls started exploding with trichomes, Thank you all again for such amazing support ๐Ÿ™peace and love brothers and sisters โœŒ๏ธ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ’š Stay tuned for new week update ๐Ÿ˜‰๐Ÿง‘โ€๐ŸŒพโœŒ๏ธ๐Ÿ’š

The ICE is almost done; the NL doesnโ€™t even seem close. Interesting since ICE sprouted a day later than the NL.
