the temperature has risen to 32 degrees.. but flowering continues without problems.I have no way to lower the temperatures, just over a month and they should be ready. I made a mistake by adding the top dress, thinking it would help during the flowering stage. But since the plants only spent one week in supersoil before I switched to flowering, I added a tablespoon per 7 liters during the third week of 12/12 light. Given how short the vegetative phase was, I’ve realized that the top dress wasn’t necessary. waiting until the end of September for the next run the height of only 150 cm of the growbox does not help in counteracting the heat. Tropicana Banana make a nice top

I placed the 2 seeds in a damp paper towel and placed it into a closed Tupperware. The tupperware was placed in my stereo cabinet (warmest place I could find) and less than a day taps roots were showing. I then placed them in my humidity dome and within 18hrs I had roots sprouting thru the bottom of the sponge. This has been the best start I have yet to have. I also built a new RDWC system with waterfalls to veg and flower these two in. I have photos and video above on the new tent setup. I have it running with just regular tap water until the seedlings are ready to go in. I have also installed a 90gpd RO system (APEC brand) under my kitchen sink. The water comes out 5.8ph and 7ppm. I will be using this RO water thru the entire grow with some Cal-mag of course. The system holds about 25 gallons total of water. The main res is 17 gallons and the two buckets are 5 gallons. I will no longer be using air stones. I have a recirculating pump in the main res, waterfalls in the buckets and of course the main pump running the whole system. Should be plenty of air for the roots. I used 2 in return pipes in the hopes of avoiding roots clogging the pipes. I scrogged last time but I'm not sure I will be going that route. I might just top and train. I will be doing a major defoliation on one and just simple trimming on the other. I am trying to find out if the risks of stressing the plant are worth the returns. Well wish me luck....and away we go.

Last week of flower amd flushed for the week. Buds are all cloudy and trady to go. Put them in darkness and will leave them there for five days. I have another plant drying and trying to stagger trimming. First plant dryed for 14 days and was about right. Trimmed it up and it is now and curing. Been in the jar for two days and humidity is 57%, good for me. Waiting for the cure now. It was kinda nice to do a stagged harvest so all the trimming did not have to be done at once. I think I will try to do it this way again. The final weight for the first plant was 102.78. The quality of the buds is the best so far. Not sure if that is attributed to luck, strain or growing is getting better. Time will tell. Next post the harvest. Cheers

Tag 45: Ich beginne mit dem Scroggen der Pflanze, ich habe dafür das Netz eingebaut und etwas entlaubt. Doch die Cookie Gelato sieht nicht mehr so Vital aus , vermutlich war die Lampe etwas zu dicht, zur Stressbehandlung gebe ich jetzt noch Alg a mic in das Gießwasser. Ich hoffe sie erholt sich noch 😱

Day 118 Mon PH 5.7 EC 0.6 DLI 12h PPFD Water 16-24c

Day 23: -Seeing great growth from the little girl, true leaves developing, and slowly burying the stem over as she grows. Showing great resilience so far, and nice rich colour to her leaves 😁 Feeding every other water still. Day 25: - feed today, a nice 2.5L to moisten up the 3gal she's in, no run off, she's very happy and healthy. Day 28 - (end of week) showing good progress this week above soil. Seeing better growth on leaves and now seeing nodes. Beautiful 😍 Began lst today, minor pull back of main stem to allow better light penetration, also I believe that the technique of burying her stem as she grew did add abit of stress, but not enough to impact as her main stem is already looking thicker and I'm under the impression by doing this it will allow for a better stable plant as in being able to hold itself more. We will see 👌✌️💚

They are all showing preflower and chugging along nicely.

15.06.25. Day 30. Plants are looking healthy. Lots of growth in past week. She is showing preflower so I switched to flowering nutrients. First reservoir change out since I placed them into buckets. One plant topped herself because of rapid growth, I did not pull back training wire on main node and so the branch snapped where it was tied down. She is entering stretch now so I took of training wire on all plants. 18.06.25. Day 33! Defoliation, lilipop. 22 06.25. Day 37 Plants are now taking up all the space in tent. They need to stop growing. I think I should take out some more vegetation from the bottom. 25.06.25 Day 40 Fresh reservoir change out.

Week5 March 1st day 30 I transplanted one( the one with no broken branch) inti the 7gal today watered and did some LST I really hope it adapts to its new home I’ve never transplanted before I used extreme garden MYCOS hope it works also moved the light up a bit and plan on going 100% once I transplant the other one March 2nd transplanted the other one (broken branch one) my shop didn’t have 3.0😔😔😔😔😔😔😔 so i used DNC Great Lakes water only soil hopefully this works and I mixed some 3.0 I had left from the other pot cross fingers for nice transition to its new home March 5 been three days since transplant can’t really tell if they adapted to there new homes yet some sings of stretching since transplant I’ve never transplanted before and I’m not sure if they need water or not so imma chill let them go for couple more days then I’ll water scared to over water them right now since I transplanted them don’t want to over stress them other one in 3.0 seems little droopy to me compared to the one in Great Lakes but Great Lakes soil seems bit dry sooooo idk I’m going keep an eye on them

Muy buena cosecha con bastante resina.

Yo Farmers, in the plant's 11th week, I had to take some drastic measures to keep her healthy and thriving. First off, I did some major defoliation by plucking a ton of her fan leaves from the lower and middle sections. That way, she could get better airflow and light penetration. It's still not perfect, but we tried. Then, I had to apply some high stress training since the plant was stretching like crazy. It was like she was trying to reach the moon or something. Anyway, during my inspection, I noticed some damage on the leaves close to the light. It could have been from light burn, Calmag issues, or a phosphorus deficiency. To fix it, I adjusted the distance of the light and fed her a high PK nutrient solution to boost her phosphorus levels and nutrient uptake. Gotta keep the girl fed, right? All in all, it was a lot of work, but it was worth it. The plant's still growing strong and looking better than ever.

Struggling to keep heat down and humidity up. Will get a humidifier!

Alright all, it's been awhile since I've been able to update so I have a couple weeks to catch up on. Unfortunately my cheap phone was having issues last week and I had to do a deep clean and got rid of some photos, photos I though I'd uploaded to my drive that I actually hadn't. I seriously could have kicked myself. But thankfully I at least have a video instead of nothing. So on August 1st I got some spent hardwood substrate blocks from a mushroom farmer down the road. I crumbled the blocks around the base of each plant and watered them in. The purpose of putting the blocks down is that they still have live mycelium in them, and the mycelium creates a symbiotic relationship with the cannabis plant and it's root structure. The cannabis roots can only take up so much surface area, but the mycelium can take up the space the roots do not and form a network where in exchange for sugars the mycelium will provide nutrients for the cannabis plants. Also, watering with the molasses gives the mycelium the sugars it wants. I'm sorry I don't have more pictures, I wasn't even thinking when I was cleaning up my phone because I was so frustrated with it (there's a reason LG stopped making phones recently). It's just been wayyyyyyyy more busy than I expected or wanted it to and I've had hardly any time in the garden. It's all this rain! Last year I was complaining about how there wasn't enough rain, now this year there's plenty of it. When I'm not doing Garden stuff I'm working part time with my husband doing landscaping and tree work, which includes mowing lawns. Last year with the drought we were mowing lawns maybe every 2 weeks. This year it's every 4-5 days. It's crazy.

Moin an alle diese Woche habe ich die Damen auf 12/12 gestellt alles läuft soweit nach Plan die einzige Dame die mir sorgen macht ist die Dame vorne rechts sie wächst sehr sehr dicht bewaldet hat wohl etwas mehr indica gene abbekommen was jetzt nicht wirklich ein problem ist allen Pflanzen geht es soweit gut. Ich bin mit der Umstellung auf 12/12 um 1 Tag verrutscht eigendlich ist immer Ende der Woche für mich am Donnerstag somit also Freitag Umstellung auf 12/12 habe ich auch gemacht schalter auf blüte gestellt und vergessen die Zeitschaltuhr um zu stellen das viel mir dann abends auf als die Lampe noch lief obwohl sie hätte aus sein sollen somit habe ich sie den Tag noch 18/6 gehabt und bin erst am samstag 12/12 gefahren somit verschiebt sich das ende der jeweiligen woche auf Freitags, (ich bin halt zu stoned unterwegs zur zeit, was heißt zur zeit! eigendlich immer 😂😂) am anfang dieser woche gab es 20ml/L orgatrex und 1g/L bactrex, davon aber nur 500ml der lösung an die Basis für die lösung verwende ich destilliertes wasser damit die Bakterien schonend dem Medium zugeführt werden, beim normalen giessen ohne Nährstoffe verwende ich abgestandenes Leitungswasser was einen Ph von ca 7,8 aufweist was ich mit Ph down von GBN(Green Buzz Nutrients) runter regel auf einen Wert von 6,5 was super funktioniert bis jetzt! das Boden leben scheint äußerst gesund zu sein, die Pflanzen wachsen gut und robust, weisen ein sattes Grün auf und haben bis jetzt keinerlei Schädlings Spuren, Mängel oder Überschüsse an Nahrung. Bei meiner Lampe bin ich mir nicht ganz sicher habe sie jetzt zur blüte auf 75% der Leistung laufen da ich Schiss habe das wenn ich auf 100% fahre meine Damen sicher licht brand bekommen werden also muss ich abschätzen 75% und mit der Lampe nach und nach ran gehen oder 100% und bei ca 60 bis 70 cm bleiben ich Weiss nicht genau was ich machen soll oder eher gesagt was besser kommt....... Naja das wars für die woche.!

Gushers is doing really great under the Spider Farmer G5000/UVR40 lights. I just changed the light schedule today to 12/12. I will be doing a solution change in a few days for a blooming mix.

Creamy is having an identity crisis at the end of her life. And she has formed some bananas again. I plucked them all off at the beginning of last week. It's not dramatic, but unfortunately this strain is not stable. Light Power: 100% Day 106 Flower day 59 Banane harvest Defoliation Day 109 Flower day 62 Last Photosession in Sanlight
