Amazing Colours! As you can see the colours on this plant at the end of its run are absolutely amazing. The buds didnt out as dense as I had hoped but I think thats just this pheno and we are busy hunting a denser pheno atm. what a great strain to grow though. no problems during the cycle of the plant and the colours make it so rewarding to grow! I would definitely recommend this strain to people who like fruity and colourful plants. Barneys never disappoints really;)

I really enjoyed this strain to grow, did a little mistake and flipped them to 12/12 too early (I anticipated too much the stretch and with the mainlining technique, stretch was not that bigger). Amazing smell, full of trichomes. And probably next time I won't use the tabs from biotabs because you can't really control how much nutriments your plant will have, but the others products from biotabs worked really well!

I loved it. Grew some really nice buds, produced an amazing smell that filled the room once I opened my tent. The buds are really sticky, trichomes looked amazing they were about 75% cloudy when I cut her down.

Right now it’s a pre harvest I took a few of the branches and it plenty left i I’ll be back with in 2 weeks or so with and fa sure harvest report 12/18/21 *update so far with the buds I harvested half the left side 83.7 grams minus the few grams I smoked already not 2 shabby for a rookie. N I still got more drying. Dat I just harvested and whole another side to harvest hope I can hit That qp mark dat would Be awesome sauce will be back with the rest of the harvest *Update 12/26/07. My first weigh in was 83.7 and this one was 69.1 so in all I have 152 grams off one plant a qp off one plant from a. Vipar spectra. 450w And galaxy hydro 300 w. NOt to shabby for a noob I will be selling my lights to get me optic 4 led with CREE cobs or maybe get the optic 6 led. I can only imagine the yields. Oan Merry Christmas Feliz Navida. happy hannakah and everything else in between

Buds are forming very well. Smell is nice and increasing. Been removing big fan old leaves so sunlight can penetrate all the plant, and concentrate energy on flowers. Organic fertilization very carefully to prevent nutrient burn.

Day 56-63 (Day 57) I might have to fix the light to the roof of the tent so I can get another 3 inches up. The ppfd is just too intense at this height. The node stacking is super tight, I’m seeing some droop on almost every plant and the plants just look stunted. I might have to take out the big shelf I just paid 90$ for and raise the light to get the ppfd level down. This happened my last grow as well. It’s a great light for flowering but sucks ass for veg unless it’s hung 5’ above the canopy. I’ve seen videos of others with the same light and they have to fix it to the roof. The dimming function only works with a master controller I don’t have the money for right now. Pulling bbb #2. I’m seeing very small but clear pollen sacks. It’s also drooping like crazy. The roots don’t look as healthy as some of the other males I pulled earlier. They have a slight brown tinge but still mostly white. I wonder if I accidentally gave top dressed it too many times when I mixed them all up a while ago. I’m going to transplant bbb’s #1, #3, #6 & #7 into my 10 gallon destiny/coco pots lightly water. This is kind of a gamble because 2 of them are not showing definitively. Although I’m about 75% sure they’re fems. If not, I got my two backups. (Day 58) I was reading about symptoms of high PH and I definitely have it indicated by the twisted and stunted growth on top. I’m going to try to water in a full gallon at 5.8 and see if I get a good response. I sprayed the pump nozzle directly into the soil after it was empty to put some oxygen into that big 10g pot. The blackberry I gave the lowered PH water too noticeably responded within a few hours. The clawing has pretty much stopped and it now looks like the healthiest plant in the tent. I’m going to see how it responds over the next few days then try it with my other plants if everything looks good. I’m going to try it with bbb #5 in the 1.7g pot and see if it responds in the same way. I ran a gallon of 5.8 water through 1.7g and got less than a 100ml of runoff which is a little surprising. The runoff measured 1750ppms which seems a little on the high side but isn’t insane for peat based soil. (Day 59) Wow. The plants responded to that little PH adjustment insanely well. #5 isn’t dropping at all and the leaf wrinkles are actually flattening out. It’s starting to look like one of the healthiest plants in the tent. I’m still hoping for #5 to show female. 5 plants would cut my veg time down and give me another opportunity for a keeper pheno. All 4 plants are looking like they’ve already recovered from their transplant. #1 in particular was drooping like crazy yesterday and today it’s bounced back and looking happier than ever. I’m seeing a bit of tip droop on a few plants but they still seem fine I wonder if because my soil is 50% coco I should try watering on the acidic side, around 6.0-6.2 from now on. I’m almost certain that solved all the issues I was having. (Day 62) Plants are all looking really healthy. They all seem to have outgrown the initial light stress actually but node stacking is still really tight and I hope to raise the light up next week sometime. I’m going to drop the humidity to 60% for the rest of veg. These pots are massive and I’m still a little worried about dry downs but they aren’t showing any signs of overwatering or lack of oxygen. BBB#3 is starting to show some weird discoloring like an mag or nitrogen deficiency. Which is weird because it’s freshly transplanted into nitrogen rich soil. Guess I will give it a kelp foliar spray. I’ve been looking for a good organic source of K without an absurd amount of magnesium and sulfur like langbeinite has. I found some 0-0-15 kelp/seaweed extract in soluble crystal form. So from time to time I will water that in at half strength or with compost teas to keep my soil K dominant. (Day 63) I’m still waiting on #6 to show sex. I am shocked it hasn’t shown sex yet. Although it was started a week and a half after the others but still. I’m going to be so pissed if it ends up being a male. I’m taking a gamble but I’m confident it will show female when the time comes. bbb#3 got a little more color back from that foliar spray. Hope that doesn’t get worse because it’s my favorite pheno so far. I will give a N boost in the form of compost tea tomorrow afternoon to both of my tents. I’m starting to utilize the scrog net and boy does it make training way easier. This seems to be a much smarter style of growing for yield and quality. I’m getting tired of these pH fluctuations every time I water. I’ve been eyeballing for the most part and I need a consistent formula. I found the perfect mix to stabilize my RO water and stabilize the pH at 6.2. I moistened the top soil of each plant and will watch for any reactions. Water recipe: 60ml bottled water 2000ml RO water 3ml calmag 2ml microbes

Week 9! Day 65: 2L (pH6.8) + mild organic fertiliser from kitchen scraps. Remember the potato water I spoke of earlier? I blended it up with some ruined sweet peppers from the garden and some applecider vinegar & eggshell to give her one last, very diluted nutrient solution. This feed was aimed more at the soil than the plant. Bud bulking has come to a halt, she's fading. Nonetheless, I discovered some purple leaf edges on one of the buds in particular, I wonder if this might be related to nutrition or temperature. Day 67: 2L (pH6.6) + 5ml/l home-made fertiliser. I found some more information regarding the purple leaf edges here: https://growdiaries.com/grow-questions/54072-edges-tip-leaves-are-turning-purple Also: oops.. I noticed I accidentally had turned off the timer on the LED, as well as left it on 20% power the entire night. I was expecting to have to disturb her lights off period to look at her, but there she was just chilling in low light conditions. Also, she seems to have no problems running on the very diluted home-made fertiliser so I'm repeating the previous feed - this time being a bit more precise on the dosage: 5ml/l. As I stated, this is more of a fertiliser for the soil microbes than herself. Day 68: Damp, no water Trichomes are still mostly clear, nothing unexpected. Patience is not my strongest virtue.

Not a lot to allow as she is only 4 days old, popped on June 13 after 5 days in the coco loco. Check back next week and hopefully we have some more action to report.

A couple of weeks to finish line. Lovely trichomes all around the buds. The smell reminds me this strain's parent, Super Lemon Haze. It's awesome! Really happy with this grow 😊

We are getting closer! A few trichromes turning amber. Flushing until harvest. Have a few nanners popping up here and there; apparently not an issue this late in flower (and read male flowers this late are typically sterile?). Have plucked the ones I have seen. Raised the light just a bit to try and reduce any stress that could be causing herming, if it’s not the plants last ditch effort to reproduce. Pics/vid day 104/62F since breaking soil.

Bueno pues ya llegamos al final familia, do sweet dos es una variedad bastante productiva. De cuatro plantas casi 180gs y la verdad que bastante contento, no tuve tiempo para poder hacer más fotos y trabajar más este post pero con la prisa y la mudanza pues bueno, bastante e cosechado. Humedad en el secado relativamente baja al 40% y la temperatura estuvo entorno a 23 grados ambientales. Hasta aquí todo familia, os recomiendo también la gama de productos de agrobeta, ya que los resultados son llamativos.

The buds continue to grow, showing no signs of stopping, but the leaves get old. This week i have watered bananas. It's rain. I fear the buds will be damaged. Maybe i will have to harvest soon. THANKYOU. SEE YOU NEXT WEEK.

May 31, 2024 Harvest day. Finally! Banana Purple Punch A was 22 oz wet trimmed. Day 3 drying Banana Purple Punch B was 20.5 oz wet trimmed. These 2 were a breeze to work with. Even though Banana Purple Punch A got some nutrient burn. She still pulled through with a happy wet weight. I'm guessing based on the size of the buds and how dense they are, we will have a decent weight retention. Maybe 4.5 oz for Banana Purple Punch A and 4 oz for Banana Purple Punch B. I'll say this. The aroma of these ladies was straight banana. And SUPER potent. Nealy overwhelming. I'll update at least the day of drying until they are done. I'm guessing 7 days for each. However, my dry tent is too dry. No clue why. I may have to put a humidifier in the tent. I know you shouldn't do that, but I need the humidity to be above 52%. June 1, 2024 Banana Purple Punch A Day 4 Drying. Banana Purple Punch B Day 1 Drying. Nothing to really discuss today. We are all looking good. Still need to install the humidifier. The temp is pretty good though. At 66°, but still way too dry. I'm concerned for Banana Purple Punch A. I don't need her drying out too quickly. I took a sample from Banana Purple Punch A today. The stem is completely wet, but the buds were definitely nearly dry. No gummy grinder, no grass smell, just some good weed. I'll keep I'll check her tomorrow. I'm assuming she will be done by tomorrow or the next day. Dry Tent Environment: Temp: 67.8° RH: 51.8% VPD: 1.12 kPa June 2, 2024 Banana Purple Punch A Day 5 Drying. The smallest of twiggy branches had a nice snap, but anything bigger isn't quite there yet. I'd say another day in the current environment. 60% humidity and 68° Banana Purple Punch B Day 2 Drying Update: I ended up manicuring and bagging Banana Purple Punch A. The moisture meter read 10.5, so I decided to finish them up. The humidity is super high today as it's raining, so the branches started absorbing water. The buds started as well, but now I have them in a Grove Bag. It's reading 63%, so it'll need a couple days of actual curing. I think it's a bit better to bag with more moisture and burp verses over drying and having to rehydrate the buds. I mean, of course the perfect time would be ideal, but I found that the fluctuation of the environment in my situation, needed to be bagged with even more control. I think I'll leave Banana Purple Punch B in the drying tent for as long as I can. So far the humidity hasn't gone below 58% so if I can keep it there and drop the temp, I can leave her in there for 10 to 14 days. Dry Tent Environment: Temp: 69.4° RH: 58.1% VPD: 1.03 kPa June 3, 2024 Banana Purple Punch A is smelling great! She's showing 64% in the grove bag, but that is probably because it's 68% humidity in my room. Unfortunately, this is the only place in the house I can store and cure my weed. So I have to fight it. I opened the bag and dumped the buds on a trimming tray in the dry tent. Not much happened except the humidity in the dry tent was 66% for the half hour they were in there, so it didn't do much of anything if anything at all. Banana Purple Punch B Day 3 Drying. Nothing else to say, she's drying and it will be SLOW. Very slow with this humidity climbing up above 65%. I'm afraid of mold. I have air circulation and the exhaust is running at about 40% power. So everything should be ok. I've also noticed the carbon filter for the dry tent is starting to lose its effectiveness. There is a slight cannabis smell coming from the outlet. It could just be how strong the aroma is for Banana Purple Punch B, cuz it's strong. That's it for today. I'm not bothering with the environmental readings. It's too warm and too humid. Lol. June 4, 2024 The humidity spiked yet again. Smh. I have the exhaust fan at half power now to keep the air flowing. Hopefully that prevents mold in this what looks to be a long dry. It'll be hot today, so the central air should kick on around noon. But for now the humidity is around 66%. Entirely way too high. The temp, however, is alright at 68°. I'd much rather the temp be below 65°, but I just can't get it down. I'm really hoping my hydrometer just needs to be calibrated or something. Reason being it's a dark tent with a fan going. The room temp is 69° and the humidity is 67%. One would think the temp would be much lower than 68° and the humidity should be higher in the tent. Alas, I have no idea how to fix this. I left the tent door open for a little bit to try and air out the tent, but there shouldn't be any old air issues. It's a 4 inch inline fan. No problems with suction in a 2x2. I'll keep fighting it until the A/C comes on. If anyone has any ideas, please leave a comment. I'd love a bit of guidance not only for this run, but future runs as well. Banana Purple Punch B Day 4 Drying. I'll note the current weight tomorrow. It makes sense as that would be midway through the drying time. I'm willing to bet she lost half her weight by now, if not more. June 5, 2024 Banana Purple Punch B Day 5 Drying. Day 5 Dry weight: 6.0 oz. That's a 71% loss so far. However, I'm guessing she won't lose much more weight. I ended up doing a snap test on some twigs and they are about 2 to 3 days out. Maybe 4 of the humidity doesn't let up. Speaking of humidity, it dropped down fairly low after the A/C kicked on. It was down for the majority of the evening and a few hours through the night. Unfortunately, it didn't last and is now back up to 63%. It's not too bad, but I'd rather the humidity be around 58% for this plant. Dense buds and all. But I'll take the higher humidity if it means a better dry. I don't think 63% is any good though, so I'll still try to keep it below 62%. Dry Tent Environment: Temp: 70.8° RH: 58.0% VPD: 1.08 kPa June 6, 2024 Banana Purple Punch B day 6 drying. It's humid. Like really $#@&ing humid. The dry tent is suffering horribly. It's 69% in there and there's nothing I can do about it. I can't seem to get the humidity to drop at all. I might put a dehumidifier in there to dry out out some, but then the temp will increase and that's already at 70°. That's too high on its own. All that being said, this will put major stress on the plant while it dries. And if I have learned anything, cannabis is like a sponge for water. So it's back to being wet now. I think it will be another 4 to 5 days. Which is about what I was planning on the first place, but that was with the correct environment. Not this horse shit. I should weigh it. It was 6 oz yesterday, so I wonder what it will be like today with all this humidity. 6.5 oz? Wouldn't that be insane? Dry Tent Environment: Temp: 70.1° RH: 59.3% VPD: 1.03 kPa June 7, 2024 Banana Purple Punch B Day 7 Drying The environment is still a little wonky. The humidity is just over 62% and the temp is just under 70°. Not ideal, but within range. Barely. I have a lot of airflow even though it's a dry tent. I need the airflow to keep mold spores from getting all over the plant. Banana Purple Punch A smells great. The Grove Bag is still sitting at 63%, but I plan on dumping the bag out later today. I want to air them out for a half hour or so. Dry System Environment: Temp: 68.5° RH: 60.3% VPD: 0.95 kPa June 8, 2024 Banana Purple Punch B Day 8 Drying. She needs another couple of days I think. No snap yet. The environment is starting to even out... For now. It's supposed to rain this evening, so the humidity and wetness will return. However, for now it's looking pretty good. The temp is still at 70°, but the humidity is at 61%. So that's good. Not the temp, but the humidity. Dry Tent Environment: Temp: 69.3° RH: 59.5% VPD: 0.99 kPa June 9, 2024 Banana Purple Punch B Day 9 Drying. I got a single snap from a small twig today. Unfortunately the rest of the branches are still bendy. But it tells me she only has a day or 2 left. She smells amazing. The sharp plant smell is finally gone and now it's just pure Banana Purple Punch. Sweet and pungent. And lots of Banana smell. The environment has stayed pretty consistent over the past few days. Hovering around 60% with a temp of 70°. I know the temp is a bit high, but it's the best I can do. Even when I bring the temp in my room down to 65° the dry tent only goes down to 68°. Dry System Environment: Temp: 69.4° RH: 58.9% VPD: 1.01 kPa June 10, 2024 Banana Purple Punch B Day 10 Drying. Still bendy branches. But getting very close. Sometime, within the next two days, she will be ready. It could be tonight, or in 2 days. At this point it's so slow I think I could push to 14 days. I most likely won't be doing that though. I need to either put a different plant in this tent or take it down for more space in my room. I'm pretty sure the environment is looking pretty good. The temp in my room is lower today and the humidity dropped a little bit. So we are definitely below 62% and the temp should be around 60%. My hydrometer shut off and I need to restart it. I'll update with real numbers later when I fix it. Update: The temp is at 68° and the humidity is at 58%. So looking good. I also took a small sample. No real snap, but the little twig snapped at the base of the side branch. Still... Not quite there yet. The grind is pretty good, but the bud doesn't stay lit as it should. So she's not ready. But the bud smells and tastes amazing. Curing will only make it better. June 11, 2024 Banana Purple Punch B Day 11 Drying. Yet another day of drying. I seriously cannot wait to sample this plant. She smells amazing. The buds look great. I've noticed that the branches don't seem to be hardening off. And if they are, I can't tell. It just feels the same as yesterday. Which felt the same as the day before. Or I'm just not paying enough attention. Either way, I'm still waiting for a snap of any kind. It could be later today or tomorrow. At this point I'm just guessing. Eventually I'll get the time down and know how long it will take in the future. Update: So I checked the small twigs and a couple bud sites. I found that the small twigs would snap at different angles and some not at all. Same with the bud sites. However, while checking one of the bud sites, a part of the bud popped off. Like it was getting brittle. I don't know what that means, but I'm bagging this plant today. The cure will bring out the extra moisture, if there even is any, over time. I'll wait a couple hours and see how she looks, but she is getting bagged at some point today. June 12, 2024 Both plants are curing at 60%. Perfect. Just wanted to mention that. I'll come back in a few months to update. You know, after the curing process is complete and we are just in the storage phase.
