Week 14: Final Countdown (Flower Week 9) 🍌🥊 We’ve reached the final ripening! This Banana Purple Punch Auto by @FastBuds is finishing its 14th week from seed and its 9th week in full bloom. At this stage, it's no longer about volume; it’s all about ripening, resin density, and terpene complexity. 💎 Living Soil Performance: Following the 9 Cardinal Parameters, my focus is currently on: • VPD & Humidity: Keeping humidity low (around 40-45%) to drive transpiration and protect these dense, frosty buds from any late-stage issues. 🌬️ • Temperature: Dropping the night temps to 18–19°C to encourage those deep purple hues. The anthocyanins are really putting on a show! 💜 • Nutrients: No flush needed! In a true Living Soil setup, the plant naturally senesces as the soil microbiome slows down nitrogen availability while still providing essential minerals for trichome maturation. The "autumn fade" is looking beautiful. 🍂 Trichome Status: 🔬 Observation shows about 85% still not ready and 10–15% milky. I’m looking for that perfect "sweet spot" to capture the full sedative punch and overripe banana flavor. 🍌 It’s been an incredible journey with this organic ecosystem. The plant is incredibly sticky and the smell is overpowering. Harvesting very soon! One love growmies 🧑🏻‍🌾

Bobbing along. Moved into its own tent...happier now. Almost at the pre-flower stage and LST going well.

This plant has started to grow like crazy. I really like the genetics that Canuk Seeds has sold me so far. Cindy99 has been a real piece of cake to grow. I went through her and removed a ton of foliage on the lower part of the plant. I also started to tie the branches off so that they are evenly positioned to receive as much light as possible. The canopy is starting to take shape and am looking forwards to flower this plant in a few weeks.

Very happy with this weeks growth. So much sugar. I did lots of trimming after last weeks pictures. These girls were flushed yesterday and the smell is really starting to show. Will get some good trichome shots uploaded later today, starting to see lots of milk soon :)

Week 5 of flowering all is going well buds continue to develop.very frosty, sticky, smelly dense nuggets have managed to get her up 20cm closer to the light. Have also changed to Green planet nutrients

Day 64 of flower, the closer pics are one of the Blueberry cupcakes that is going to be the first to come down soon maybe a partial harvest tomorrow. Everything’s going well tho the light stress I caused has been fixed and all is looking well.

Brutal nuggets, you can see those diamonds shining, very compact, sticky, full of trichomes and a beautiful fragrance, I've enjoyed this strain so much guys, very special, I can recommend this strain if you want top quality fast!

Hned začátkem tohoto týdne jsem defolijoval levou a zdá se že jí to donutilo konečně přepnout do květu protože hned druhý den se začaly tvořit paldy takže jede bomby. Včera jsem defolijoval i pravou a to řádně protože už byla prorostlá a chtěl jsem dostat světlo a vzduch k těm vnitřním paldám aby se taky pěkně opriskatily a celkově se jí daří ale doufám že tý pravý jsem toho nevzal moc a snad se zase rozjede bomby, vidím že tam bude hromada dobroty ale nelíbí se mi jak začali po té defolijaci žloutnout blizny a takhle už jí nejspíš nechám až do sklizně. Levou plánuju ještě defolijovat, asi tak za dva dny a zkusím jí zase trochu roztáhnout, dát pod síť a tím snížit protože je o moc vyšší než ta pravá. Držte palce a ať to roste :)

A little late to this party. Day 49 the flowers entered stretching which I then switched over from fert-I-lome 5-1-1 to Neptune Rose and Flower.

Welcome the KingBong's first GrowDiary!!🦍🌱 The grow box is still being finished off but I'm happy with results so far. I'll be adding a custom carbon filter In the top corner and also a small intake fan low down... also a door!! This is going to be a fun experiment hopefully you all enjoy ✌️🇬🇧

I will be focusing this diary on the smoothie strain but you’ll be seeing some other plants in the tent that are not the same strain. I only have room in this tent so bare with me. There are 2 Smoothie, 1 CNC, and 1 Stardawg (dog). The smoothie are the two bigger ones in the back of the tent. Now, the Smoothie from FastBuds is just killin it right now. Since I popped the beans they have done nothing but show signs of greatness. I don’t think this one is gonna slow down much either. I’m going to push these plants harder than my last harvest. I had a really really amazing harvest last time. I was even able to pull sap out of all 4 plants. 2 Zkittles and 2 LSD-25. This was all done by feeding at the right times and keeping a “moist” soil. Also I want add that I ran pretty much the entire line of Nectar for the Gods at a little less then the recommended ratios. This time I plan on going a tiny bit over the recommended ratios just to see what these plants will do. Trust me, if the plants have a bad response I will go back to the recommended ratios. The reason I want to do this is because I really think these auto strains can handle a lot more than a regular flowering cycle plant would. They can handle more stress, that’s for sure. When do you think I should add a compost tea into my regimen? Soon or wait till the plant is a little larger?

Flowering continues, I've had some magnesium deficiency issues that I'm trying to compensate for with Calmag Xtra, also from Advanced Nutrients. I've also lowered the Grow dosage. The buds are really loaded with trichomes and, if I've done everything correctly, I expect the buds to increase in size. 🌴🤤🤤🤤🤤

**** HAARVEST ZOE **** Nice Strain , My little Zoe really made all the mistakes you could possibly make. No matter when I give light or want water or fertilizer. It grows and grows and grows, the main thing is that there is light. It was one of my free seeds from Zamnesia. So far all seeds have germinated. I store my seeds in a dark, airtight container at 6°C. Tastes kind of sweet after curing. Greenhouse Feeding is a really easy fertilizer to use. I used the BioEnhancer again and again. My little Zoe thanked me. The BioGrow was used as topdressing and is doing its job. The BioBloom also does its job at the right time. And that's really great and easy if you don't have an autoflower. Of course there is a corresponding product. But I was happy to get anything here at all. Legalization has wiped out the market. But for next time I have an appropriate soluble fertilizer for fast-flowering plants. It doesn't work for 8 weeks :)) I use a Sanlight Evo 3-60 1.5 with Bluetooth dimmer. There's nothing to complain about there. Set daily cycle via app. Helpful if the weather or environment is so bad that you have to regulate the light intensity. 33g after 5 days dry . 24.5 °C to 22°C with 50%-60% . curing in a vaccum box at 18°C . It looks like I'm drying too long. // It tastes a bit crunchy. Day 79: trim , slow vacuum box to cure 22°C and 61%rH . Day 76: videostuff: been drying for 4 days (res 640x480) ( optical zoom x200 - x250 ) Day 72: DLI usage total this Plant : 2236.6 DLI in 70 Days . wet trimmed, cut off, hung upside down. see you after 14 days Day 71: preparing for harvest . 24h long night session . DLI : 0 Day 70: - Sanlight DaylightCycle - + ON 200PPFD (00:00) - 800PPFD (03:30) - 800PPFD (16:30) - 200PPFD (18:00) OFF video and photo tryouts with the digimicro mobil x300 optical zoom , mostly freehand Day 69: - Sanlight DaylightCycle - + ON 200PPFD (00:00) - 1000PPFD (03:30) - 1000PPFD (14:30) - 200PPFD (18:00) OFF incredibly hot and rain. lost some terpene :)) Well, summer is coming, Day 68: - Sanlight DaylightCycle - + ON 200PPFD (00:00) - 600PPFD (00:30) - 800PPFD (03:30) - 800PPFD (14:30) - 600PPFD (17:30) - 200PPFD (18:00) OFF - Added 1L bottle of water It's hot, hot, hot, Zoe would like more water. changed daylight cycle so it match the weather problems. tent is open until my real night comes. 103 flowers (including popcorn) counted, due to an accident about 15 flowers are missing. Day 67: - Sanlight DaylightCycle - + ON 200PPFD (00:00) - 600PPFD (00:30) - 900PPFD (03:30) - 900PPFD (14:30) - 600PPFD (17:30) - 200PPFD (18:00) OFF - watering bottle water 1.75L weather to hot , changed daylight start time and daylight cycle so it match the weather problems. I'm lucky, buds are still growing :))) Day 66 (we are on the road with maximum sanlight ) - analyse some trichome . - make some Zoom Pics and Video stuff . - Sanlight DaylightCycle : - + ON 200PPFD (00:00) - 1000PPFD (00:30) - 1000PPFD (13:30) - 800PPFD (17:30) - 200PPFD (18:00) OFF - DLI will stress alot ... Anyway, it's too hot in my room... I open the tent and now everything is fine with the temperatures and I increase the Sanlight to 100% for the first time. May Zoe love it or leave it :)) We'll see what happens Day 65 : Sanlight DaylightCycle : ON 200PPFD (00:00) - 800PPFD (00:30) - 850PPFD (13:30) - 800PPFD (17:30) - 200PPFD (18:00) OFF It will soon be ready for harvest.

Day22, Tuesday Week 3 Both are growing quick now. Might have to clip some of the big fan leaves blocking light to the lower bud sites. Day27, Sunday, End of the week both getting bigger an bushier and drinking a lot more. Hulkberry started going into flower, so I expect it to stretch during next week.

I can't believe how big she has gotten for surviving in just a solo cup! Kinda opens doors in my mind on ideas for gorilla grows at low cost (only takes 1gal to run vs 3+ in a normal dwc bucket). I'll be honest and admit I've made the biggest rookie mistake and overfed, I knew I was really pushing her and wanting to see how far I could actually take her and burnt her tips in the process. The new growth is still green at the tips by the buds which is promising. I lowered her nutrient uptake slightly by 1ml for each base nutrient and gave a little less than 1/8 tsp of bloom booster. She got pretty tall and therefore top heavy, so the one afternoon I checked her and she was tipped over but no breakages, which was awesome. I tied her to the ceiling of the tent and now she is going nowhere. Been removing lower leaves and small growth that isn't showing sex yet. Once the colas have pre-flowers I remove all lowers that don't to help send energy upwards. I'm still seeing evidence of what I believe is rust fungus, though its growth has become much less noticeable than a few weeks ago.

Saw a big jump in bud size this week.

Week 11 - Sixth Week of Flower The Donutz tent has officially entered the “sit back, water, and enjoy” phase. With all the hard work done, it’s now a matter of letting the plants do their thing and watching the magic unfold. Key Updates: Steady Growth: The buds are stacking up nicely, with the purple phenos becoming even more vibrant and the other plants continuing to bulk up. Even the thinner phenos are starting to show signs of filling out as they settle deeper into the flowering phase. Stable Routine: Watering with reverse osmosis (RO) water remains consistent, and the tent environment is running smoothly with no changes needed. Observations: The trichomes are sparkling more each day, covering the buds and sugar leaves with a frosty layer. The aroma is intensifying, filling the space with a sweet, rich fragrance that’s impossible to ignore. The canopy looks uniform and healthy, a testament to the early defoliation and training work. Next Steps: Simply monitor the plants, ensuring they stay hydrated and happy. Enjoy the show as the buds continue to develop and the trichomes ripen. The Donutz are cruising toward the finish line, and the Florida Gang vibes are at an all-time high. It’s all about patience and appreciation now — the hard work is paying off!

Mi meraviglio sempre più....questa la lascerò così farò solo un po' di lst fino a quando non fiorisce......per ora continuo così!!! Non aumenterò i nutrimenti ci andrò cauto....

About to harvest was definitely a better experience than the first go unfortunately only 3 of 5 seeds popped and only 2 were the dolato I paid for
