I'd like to title this Diary entry Screw You Advanced Nutrients. 7th week done.. 3 weeksish left on the Lsd-25 and 4 weeksish on the purple Lemonade.. Gonna be some chunky mothers. Purple coming up everywhere, pretty colours. Oh yes we are very pleased so end of 7th week for these ladies and stretching has stopped thank goodness and we are now into bud building/mass building. The two lsd-25 plants definitely went into full flower "mode" sooner. The Colorful lady seems to have benn mass building all week. Probably gonna have different harvest windows on these ladies. Was hoping for same time but it's okay we are creative and will figure a way ahead. There is some CO2 being fed in the tent. With a smaller co2 bucket. We will be trying out a new one for us and it is a product called dense from green planet. We will using dense when the regular reservoir change is suppose to happen. Before we feed only Dense we will be prepping the ladies with an extra feeding of GP3 micro. Buffering the leaves and prepping the uptake for the feeding. So with dense there will be only a feed of Dense with UC roots and ph down. The formula of dense is 0-0-62 so this is a very concentrated Potash supplement. We will be using 1/2 recommended doses as per our system and it's requirements. This will run for 4-5 days and significantly increase the Amount of Potash in the Plant fear not.. The next 2-3 days will run with just phed water then onto P-k spiking with Bloom Booster alone. At this stage Massive Bloom formulation would be great as well but we wanna cut out our nitros while still have some micros.. So we will feed smaller amounts of GP3 Micro with Powdered bloom booster, rezin and liquid weight. Right up until we do a 3 day flush before harvest. Nutrients and Light is the idea so we will see turn outs and everything. If you are wondering what is the difference between the plants and the lady on the left looks so burnt. Left side only fed Flora Series w/ Advanced Nutrients supplements the plants on the right side is fed only Flora Series with Green planet supplements. The nutrient formulas provided in this diary are for right plants only. We can not express the amount of disgust we feel towards Advanced Nutrients as we spent good money on their product and feel genuinely ripped off. The words smelly disgusting mess describe what happened when we added big bud to left side. Bottle smells fine but the Formula is obviously way off as we did not have issues like this when using it the first dozen or so times. We will be using chemical nutrients and powders for life now and will not use Advanced Nutrients again or recommend it for anyone. The Organic Big Bud Formula is no good for hydroponic growing and they obviously rushed it to market to make money..... We really wanted to finish with Advanced Nutrients being the supplement on the left side but we can not. The product itself has basically made it impossible to continue confidently using any Advanced Nutrients labeled as both Organic and Safe for hydroponics. The proof is in the pudding and so glad and happy really now that we are using Green Planet and continue on this trend of cleaner greener growing and a more intelligent approach. On a further note just to go a bit further Bud Candy for example contains sugars that are basically present in Black Molasses. So what they've basically done is filtered and bleached Black Molasses and watered it down and are selling it to us at around 40 bucks a litre. Bunch of crooks Screw you Advanced Nutrients.

For this week, plants are still looking healthy, followed the usual regime of normal water and nutrient feed pattern. I didn't fill the need to defoliate, so I mostly did some leaf tucking. At his stage, the two plants have filled up the box, and they still have room to grow horizontally, so a note to self to flower 2 clones a week early next grow.

I was very surprised at the remarkable growth of both plants. Tree 1 gives me a clear view of the superiority of height compared to the previous week. The copper buds clearly show the enormous size, I am trying to increase the amount of nutrition to promote the maximum growth in size and taste.

Gorilla Glue has been doing ok even though I was not able to care for her a few days. She is growing good under the G3000 light from Spider Farmer. I am still battling a magnesium deficiency, but from ph and improper care. She should be good to go now.

Hello folks For this second week of flowering the girls are doing well but i have i little prob with the Ph runoff of my 2 remo I water every 4/5 days PH 6.2, without fertilizer this week, because I wanted to make a little "flush" before using fertilizers for flowering Runoff : ph 5.7 / 1060 ppm while I water at Ph 6.2, Ph 5.7 is too acidic for soil and I noticed some deficiency just at the top ( nothing at bottom ) like zinc iron or something, but I will fix that at the next watering 👌 Did a defoliation at the end of the week, mainly so that the light could cross the canopy, even though I usually dont like to remove leaves, I have to try👌 Follow, like and comment if you enjoy it I also have a second diary with 2 Moby Dick Peace Love & Weed 😍👊

Day 65, 14th of November 2020: This plant man.... I am shocked lol... I created a form of art i think look at the main stalk how it is twisted. That's nothing really compare hoe she streches and grows so crazy. Actually she can not hold her own side branches I needed to tie them together.... Beautiful lady guys... she is... Pre flowers out all good.... check out... Fertilization happens every 2nd day with the ratio and mix above. I set the lamp 15 minutes shorter to switch off earlier so she receives 11:45 of darkness. I would like to imitate the nature when longer nights come with time till the 4th week (when she will receive 13 hours darkness a day 15 minutes minus 4 times = 1hour) so every week 15 min longer darkness for 4 weeks and then back to 12/12 to have bigger buds from the 4th week....

Hi all, Welcome to my 🍌💜👊 week update. Thank you so much for your all support on this bananas journey 💜💚💜💚 Week 12 Jan 1 - Jan 7 I am so happy seeing how my girls are developing. All it's going great. 2 waterings of 8ltr on 03/01 no runoff and second on 06/01 9.5ltr! Runoffs PH at 6.2. Purchased larger dehumidifier and installed on 03/01 instantly humidity decreaseed from 55-59 to 50-55 on avg. and at night from 62-69 to 54-60. Light from 01/01 on max power output 110 watts. Nutes slightly adjusted. Buds on both girls gaining size, weight. Trichomes on Athena mostly milky and clear with only very few ambers. Xena mostly 50/50 clear and milky, They are smelling gorgeously, not sure if I should smoke or eat them first. Next week will still feed with nutes and keep an eye on trichomes development but it seems that girls are not in a hurry at all. That's okay me neither 😁 Stay tuned for next week entry very soon! Peace and love brothers and sisters ✌️💚 Links https://2fast4buds.com/seeds/banana-purple-punch-auto https://plagron.com https://www.biobizz.com/ https://fishheadfarms.com/

I don't have words to describe how happy i am She's getting fat fast, by the day! Also, very very sticky snow And the smell... Very distinct, strong odor, spicy, and earthy like coffee, but very dense, almost like some kind of industrialized cheap snack(?) Little fertilizer just to boost her, considering i'm using a really complete live soil. Watering about each 2 days. Little defoliation. Also i added carbonized rice husk as a soil cover and put up a yellow trap, just to be safe lol I really don't know how to describe it, if anyone smelled something similar before, please share with me :)

5/12/21 Week 1 of flower 10 of life. Checked fluids 6.01ph, and 390tds. Plant seems ok were I split stem. Will give dose of recharge later this evening. Now on a 12/12 cycle. The watering volume per hour is not letting me go over 2.6 gallons per day. My pump is recirculating water at 200 gallons/hr it runs 15 minutes 2x day. So 50 gallons 2x day or 100 gallons per day. 5/13/21 will start foliar feeding tonight at lights out. Using TPS Canopy boost. Will use for 3 weeks every 3-4 days. Changed water to bloom nutrients. Ph 6.01 tds 710. 5/15/21 ph 6.18 tds 570. Will get dose of recharge this evening. Plants leaves are almost touching side to side in tent. 5/16/21 added water (4 gallons) can't believe she went through that much in 3 days. Ph 5.85 tds 689. Will get a foliar feeding tonight at lights out. 5/18/21 changed nutrients water. PH 5.96 TDS 680. Leaves of plant are now touching all 4 walls of 4x4 tent.

Hello Growmies, As the seventh week of cultivation unfolds, our Watermelon Candy F1 Hybrids are dazzling in their mid-flowering stage, carrying a symphony of scents that entice the senses. Residing alongside their Epic Buzz and Red Banana Pudding counterparts, these plants are halfway through their flowering journey, with an anticipated five more weeks to reach full maturation. The Watermelon Candy specimens, exhibiting their genetic prowess, have embraced the halfway mark with a robust vigor, their canopies dense and vibrant. The sweet fragrance wafting from their flowering sites is indicative of the quality to come. With dense trichome production already visible, the promise of potent, flavorful buds is on the horizon. Plant #1 stands out with its substantial vertical growth and impressive bud structure, clearly benefiting from the steady environmental conditions provided by the Tent-X system. Plant #2, while slightly more subdued, showcases a well-balanced structure, promising a generous yield. Plant #3's wide-reaching canopy is a sight to behold, with each branch heavily laden with budding sites. This week's feeding schedule has been adjusted to a five-day interval, ensuring our plants receive the nutrients they need without overburdening them. The nutrient mixture remains a carefully calibrated blend of Alga Bloom, Sugar Royal, Power Roots, and Orca, providing a perfect balance to support their flowering needs. As we maintain the PPFD levels at a hearty 450-500, we continue to monitor and adjust our environment, ensuring that the VPD remains within the ideal range. The TrolMaster's data logs are a testament to our dedication, reflecting the precision with which we approach the cultivation process. Observing the photos, the plants display a unified strength and symmetry, thriving under our attentive care. The internodal spacing, the structure of the stems, and the onset of floral clusters all point towards a successful cultivation cycle. Looking ahead, we anticipate the continued development of these Watermelon Candy Hybrids, each day bringing us closer to a harvest that promises both quantity and quality. Our diligent efforts, combined with the collective wisdom of our community, continue to guide us toward a successful harvest. Stay lifted, Salokin

Hello Diary. Finished and the third week of flowering, Haze Berry looks really impressive. Tall and stocky :). 😎 The flowers apparently bloom and begin to cover entire branches. The smell is not as intense as that of his roommate Fat Banana, but on my small farm there is a real fruit fantasy. 😋 In the Growbox to his left is his brother, another Haze Berry who is a little late but by all accounts will not catch up with his big brother. Watering is approximately every three days when I prepare 7 liters of water and with that amount evenly water all three plants. I preventively add CalMg and add BioBizz every other time. Here’s what he looked like all week. 02/11/2020 - Day 39. Watering. I added BioBizz and prevention CalMg. p.H. I adjusted to 6.5 with Plagron’s Lemon Kick. Temp / Humidity on the farm - 26.7 degrees and 42% humidity. 05/11/2020 - Day 42. Photographing and watering. This time I just regulated p.H. at 6.4 and I didn’t add anything else. The plants look really beautiful so I took photos on a black background at the beginning of flowering. Temp / Humidity on the farm - 25.6 degrees and 41% humidity. For now, everything is going great, the plants look happy and I look forward to following further development. See you soon.
