Week 5 of 12/12
••••••••••••••••••••••••••
WEEKLY SUMMARY:
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
🙋♀️Fo' Twenny here!🙋♀️
We're back with another update on our 🍌🍌 FAT BANANA AUTO cultivar bred by ROYAL QUEEN SEEDS! It's week 5 and she is already looking and smelling amazing! She just seems to get frostier ❄️ by the day and her aroma just keeps getting stronger. I love the terps this girl is throwing out! This week we will lighten up the feeds substantially and get her moving towards harvest. Let's growwww!
📝 Side Note 📝
Irealized my BlueLab Conductivity Meter has the option to switch to EC. Since EC is the most accurate way to measure the nutrient concentration in a solution, I will now be measuring and reporting EC readings rather than PPM.
Any advice, suggestions, or constructive criticisms are always welcome.
Now, for the weekly break down!

Hey everyone 😀.
On flowering day 59 both came into the darkroom and on flowering day 61 both were harvested :-).
Both were very easy to trim 👍.
Both of them already smell very tasty but more on the last update because this is only the short intermediate update :-).
The trimmed buds were laid out on nets so that they can now dry at 62% humidity for 8-14 days before fermenting with 62% boveda packs in the jars :-).
I wish you a lot with the interim update of the harvest and we'll see you at the end 👍😃.
Stay healthy and let it grow 😀

This was a pretty stable week. I finally moved my flowers to the new growing area I’ve created. It’s powered by Gavita Pro fixtures and Phillips mastergrow bulbs. They have been in here for about 3 days at this point. From now on my future diaries will showcase more plants, larger scale, but still with artisan minded craft. Excited for what the future will bring, almost as excited as I am to cut down these plants when they take on their fall colors over the next 3 weeks! I’m
Expecting a harvest of 1-1/2 oz per plant, but may get more or less. Time will tell.

Week 7- Day 1 of Veg (Day 59 overall)
Water Change Day!!!
Water was really low it was just above the hump in the Res cutting it close to not having enough water in the system to keep it going. They drank a lot making it close going the full 14 days. I am still going with the previous grows and adding 36 Gallons but even looking at the root I think the SILICA is working and the roots are further along at this point than in previous grows. This next two weeks will watch how much they drink and how low my Res starts getting, and will make a decision on changing the water weekly from here on out or still keep on the plan of every other week until Week 4 of Flower.
Added 36 Gallons
Mammoth SILICA= .5Mil/Gal = 18Mil
CALMAG= .5Mil/Gal = 18Mil
Root Drip= 1Mil/Gal = 36Mil
FloraMicro = 5.4Mil/Gal = 194Mil
FloraGrow = 4.2Mil/Gal = 151Mil
FloraBloom = 4.6Mil/Gal = 166Mil
ORCA = .5Mil/Gal =18Mil
PPM= 536
PH=5.84
PPFD=500
Tent Temp= 76.5
Water Temp= 71.4
Humidity= 58%
4/2/2023
Week 7- Day 2 of Veg (Day 60 overall)
Not much today, PH was at 5.81, I brought that back up to 5.90. I took care of some badly needed defoliation in each of the back sides .. I was able to see some really good clone material to use on the lower backside of each of the plants. I will be taking two clones from each to breed over the next few weeks depending on when I am going to flip them.
4/3/2023
Week 7- Day 3 of Veg (Day 61 overall)
A little FIMing, A little Topping, and a Little bit of defoliation.
Might have to take my clones during the week this week, I am trying to wait until Saturday to hit week 8 but again they are getting all over the place and I need to trim some of the sides and lower areas.
4/4/2023
Week 7- Day 4 of Veg (Day 62 overall)
I decided to take my clones and clean up the lower half of the plants. I took 2 clones from each plant to go into the cloning machine.
4/5/2023
Week 7- Day 5 of Veg (Day 63 overall)
Water Temp is sitting at 73. Right in my ideal range for my setup.
Ideal range 70-74
My Temp Tent is my ideal zone75.6
Ideal for this grow 70-78
The lights are still waiting the switch to flower to get maxed out...
The Humidity is coming in right at 60% I love it..
I took so much off yesterday I figure it was a good day to let them rest.
4/6/2023
Week 7- Day 6 of Veg (Day 64 overall)
I needed to Defoliate some and I topped a little. The plants might force me to flip them soon. Next Wed is the 10 week mark half way through the 20 weeks. The net is Bingo... Which means that If/when the plants hit the net I will have to flip them. The Net is set to the max height that I can let them get based on the Breeders Stretch report 75%.
4/7/2023
Week 7- Day 7 of Veg (Day 65 overall)
#3 is 22 inches Tall, #2 is 19 Inches Tall.
Net is set at 24 inches. Net is also set as my Bingo point, if they hit the net then I have to flip no matter what to account for the Breeders recommended 75% Stretch allowance. I think I am going to have to flip right at the 10 week mark of the Competition which is Wed 12 Apr.
I topped a little, I de-foliated a lot to start getting it ready for the anticipated Flip.

After 7 weeks of slow grow under LED (i had to wait for my flowering room to be free), the first week of CMH.
I intend to let them get used to the new light for one week before launching flowering.

She's finally looking like she is close to finishing. I have cut back on watering and nutrients. She is finally exuding a wonderful fruity aroma. As you can see, she is beginning to sparkle with trichomes, both on the buds and leaves. I pruned back the remaining fan leaves in order to allow her to put all her energy into the final bud production, as well as to allow more light inside the canopy. The description said this White LSD should finish between 8 & 10 weeks. I could be wrong but, I believe she might go into the 11th week before it is time to harvest. The trichomes are approximately 20% cloudy as of today. Until next week, enjoy!

Day 14 flowering: The little ladies have had a good weeknof stretching this week with the Herz O.g showing the way to the other 2.
Herz.og has now been in flower for 14 days and is well into her stretch period. She has quite wide node lengths so no donkey dicks for her I think. seeing other grows , they donproduce very nice buds somlets see how she progresses with her bud building. looks healthy and happy enough and feeding with no issues so far.
Strawberry Cola is now in flower proper and can say 7 days flowering for her now. she is stretching nicely with some good looking nodes around her frame. I will make sure I don't let her get too bushy to keep all her tips and budlets getting light. i took a good amount of small and pointless lower growth out to open her up more now. She looks the better for it now.
Monster Mash has also had a good stretch the last few days but not as much as her rivals. she has enough nice budlets to work with on her limbs and should start stacking them up soon. All three are looking very healthy and a good size now. soon they can go into a better position under the light as I harvest the other strains in the run.
Until next week growmies , be safe and well.

Ok, all caught up. I haven't done an update in almost 6 weeks. I've been so busy. Lots of picture updates!
First of all, there have been flashlights in my back yard, so I am going to have to start bringing them inside for the night soon. It's been on the news that kids are taking pictures and staking out plants already. Not good.
The Lost Coast Plant Therapy is still working great for the powdery mildew. The fish fertilizer is slowing the yellowing leaves, but they are still turning yellow. I think i will be ok, I am not too worried.
I am about to do my last feeding of the year after writing this. I will be giving them a heavy Gaia Green Power Bloom dose, and some bat guano.
They are smelling and looking great, and I cant believe how fast the buds are growing. I'd say 4-5 weeks to go, tops, hopefully sooner.

Hi guys !
This week was a little bit tricky : I got bugs into my coco coir (Video above), and my EC out was a little bit to high.
I've tried to give her 1.5 EC because the blooming started (J29), but few hours later, the leaves of the plants was "eagles claw", So i flushed the coco with a bit of flawless to return to an EC out at 1.3. PH is still 5.8
The plant don't seem to be affected by the bugs.. But i've read that they could kill the roots..
I will treat the bugs tomorrow with Neem oil, I wish everything will be fine..
>> Please comment if you met this shit, and what have you done to solve this problem ?
About the feeding, I will stop the humic fulvic and start to ad slowly the pk boost when the first buds will come.
I also add 1ml/l of Calimag cause i use RO water.
See you next week !! 😄🕉️

Added a 37w 5k few days ago and sat it ontop of another 2 gal so now closer to a bluer vegetation light spectrum.
Not bad at two weeks for an organic auto in a .75 gallon dollar tree pot!

Day 14 and the Cali snow is growing pretty well. I upped the maxigro to .5 tsp per gallon and started them on a little armor si so they can build some strong branches. Still running them on 24 hour light and 24 hour irrigation. They are going to stay under the blurple lights for a few more weeks until I can get them in the big room under the quantum boards. I'm hoping they will flower around 4 weeks but my autos seem to enjoy staying in veg so we will see what happens.
