The Gorilla Cookies are still doing alright, but 2 of 3 are showing some lockout or deficiencies. Despite this they are still doing ok. The one that doesnโ€™t have this issue is doing great, getting fat and greasy! They are starting to stink up my house, had to turn the fan off Auto and just keep it running non stop otherwise my entire house smells like the good good ๐Ÿ˜Š Iโ€™m not super concerned, I checked the runoff, and it wasnโ€™t too out of wack, 6.4 phโ€ฆ the leaves look like they are having some serious P and K deficiencies, but I donโ€™t want to feed anymore as we are approaching the end of their cycle fast, and they are continuing to develop, just not as good as they could have. RH was lowered, and temps have been consistent 77-79 degrees. Watering now approx. 3 litres every 4-5 days but I expect this to slow down soon. Happy Gardening ๐Ÿ‘Š๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆโค๏ธ๐ŸŒฑ

All good flowers are coming along nicely and getting thicker. 500ml water per day 12/12, fertilization happens on Monday, Wednesday and Friday with the mix above. All good so far I just keep removing the bottom leaves that are yellowish. Fruit Tree will be the quickest to be harvested all of them are nicely maturing needs some more time. Some more weeks and we will see.

๐ŸŽฅ My Week 3 Grow Log: Starting the Mainlining Process Introduction & Timing Whats Going On Growmies !!! welcome back to the 2025 Winter Grow! This week marks a really exciting milestone because the Special Kush 1 is finally ready for its first major structural training. Weโ€™re currently in Week 3 of the vegetative stage, and the plant has gotten big and healthy enough to handle some High-Stress Training (HST). The Main Goal: Mainlining My focus this session was to initiate mainlining. For those who don't know, this is the technique I use to create a perfectly balanced, symmetrical canopy, which should lead to much bigger and more uniform colas later on. This is where we lay the foundation for maximizing our final yield. The Steps I Took (Topping) Selection: I examined the plant and chose the perfect spot for the cut. I decided on the third node (counting from the bottom) as the anchor point for the manifold. The Cut (Topping): I carefully took my sterilized shears and topped the plant, removing the entire top growth tip (the apical meristem). This was done right above the selected third node. Redirection: Removing that main growth tip gets rid of apical dominance. Now, all of the plantโ€™s energy will be diverted equally into the two main side branches growing out of that third node. These two branches are what will form the central "Y" shape of the manifold. The Clean-Up (Pruning) Lower Growth Removal: To ensure every bit of energy goes to those two future main colas, I systematically removed all of the lower growth. This included all the secondary growth tips and fan leaves from the first and second nodes. The New Structure: After the trimming, the plant now has a clean, bare stem leading up to the two chosen branches at the third node. This is the official "beginning of the mainlining" process. Next Steps The plant will now focus on recovering and growing those two new main branches. In the next few days, I'll probably be tying those two branches down gently to keep them level and open up the center (that's the Low-Stress Training part of mainlining). I'm really happy with how the first cut went. Stay tuned for the next part where we continue to shape this manifold! My Week 3 Grow Log: Precision Nutrient Feeding Part 1: The Nutrient Mix and Strength Check Water Base: I started with my baseline water and made sure it was ready for mixing. The Flora Series Mix (Per Gallon): I carefully measured out the General Hydroponics Flora Series nutrients, following my specific Week 3 veg schedule: FloraMicro: 4.5 ml/gal (This provides essential micro-elements and buffers the solution. FloraGrow: 6.1 ml/gal (This is the primary source of Nitrogen (N) for rapid leaf and stem growth.) FloraBloom: 3.0 ml/gal (A smaller dose is included to ensure all necessary P/K elements are present, even in veg.) CalMag Boost: Crucially, I added 1.9 ml/gal of CalMag. Motivation: This ensures the plant has enough Calcium and Magnesium to prevent deficiencies and handle the increased light intensity, especially as it recovers from stress. Part 2: pH Adjustment and Application The Critical pH Check: I tested the pH of the nutrient solution. Motivation: Nutrients are only available to the roots within a specific pH window. I adjusted the mix using pH down (as is usually the case with the Flora Series) until the solution was dialed in between 6.0-6.5 for optimal uptake. The Watering Technique: I slowly and evenly applied the nutrient solution to the container, making sure the entire medium was saturated. Run-off Check (The Final Step): The most important part of this session was checking the run-off. By testing the run-off EC and pH, I confirmed that the root zone is healthy, that the plant is taking up food, and that old salts aren't building up in the container. Summary of Results Everything looks good! With the perfectly balanced and measured nutrient cocktail, the Special Kush 1 now has the necessary fuel (especially the high nitrogen from the 6.1 ml/gal FloraGrow) to heal quickly and push those two newly topped branches into strong growth, setting us up for success with the manifold!

Hi all, Welcome to my ๐ŸŒ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ‘Š week update. Thank you so much for your all support on this bananas journey ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ’š 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 ๐Ÿ˜ Stay tuned for next week entry very soon!

Day 51, 4th of November 2020: The 3rd day since the lamp switched to be 12/12... I raised up the nutrition intake as it can be seen above only the BioBizz family 2ml/l and removed some LST because the plant remains in shape or just set a bit but nothing significant.... She looks cool and strech is on the way..... Nicely bent ๐Ÿ˜… Nothing really to report there is crazy 2-3 weeks from now ;) Let's hope the best ;)

CBD Caramel is still ahead of the class and looking just stellar. Little bit of Coast of Maine fertilizer around the base and some lime water. Sprayed with neem oil for bugs as well (cucumber beetles are out in full force and fornicating). This is going to be a big girl! Please forgive my slurred speech in the video, it's been a long week and my brain is addled๐Ÿ˜œ

Hi Growmies, Here we are at week 11, and our botanical star continues to astound with her growth. The stretching phase has persisted throughout the week, each day adding a bit more to her stature. It's as if she's reaching for her personal best, and I'm here to cheer her on every step of the way. As the buds begin their own stretch along the colas, it's time to introduce Green Sensations into her diet. This should give her the extra boost she needs for this critical phase of development. Her thirst is growing, a sign of her expanding needs and vigorous metabolism. It's a balancing act to match her hydration requirements, but one that's deeply rewarding. I can't emphasize enough how smooth and stress-free this experience has been. There's a certain peace that comes with tending to a plant that asks so little yet gives so much. If the yield is anywhere near my usual harvests, I might seriously consider making a permanent switch to soil and the Plagron lineup. It's exciting to ponder the potential of a new cultivation method. This journey has been one of simplicity and satisfaction. The connection between grower and plant, the quiet anticipation of each new stage of growth โ€“ these are the moments that make it all worthwhile. As always, a reminder for my fellow plant lovers: use the code ZAMMIGD2023 at Zamnesia's online store to get a 20% discount. Sharing is caring, especially in our tight-knit community. Stay tuned for the next update. We're on this journey together, and I'm grateful for every step.

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

This week has been wild. I had to cut the sides of the greenhouse as the plants had it bursting at the seams. These girls are all flowering beautifully and starting to frost up. Happy Growing.
