I got the 3 starting seeds from an exchange with a redditor who accidentally pollinated his batch with a male, meaning I didn't start with the best genetic which in the end, probably induced the hermie. It turned out good overall but it did fuck up a lot of things. I never thought 4 weeks of veg would be too much. They got tall in no time and almost tripled in height during the flowering stretch. Light burn had a significant impact on the trichome production of certain buds. The mold is on me. I should have controlled the conditions better. I had to throw away 10-15g because of it. And really nothing guarantees I removed it all. Plant B produced, in the books, a lot less than her sisters and that can be explained by 3 factors: -Mold attacked it more than the others; -I probably switched 1 or maybe 5 (who knows...) whole branches when they fell from the rope during the drying; -I left a lot of tiny popcorn buds that got separated in the ''to be extracted'' jar. The 3 plants were pretty similar in looks but gave rather different seeds. A, the hermie, gave a lot of seeds in general but almost half of them were immature or wonky and got discarded; B, a female, gave a lot of good ones but also quite a few bad ones. The have nice stripes giving them a tiger look; C, another female, still hasn't been plucked of all it's seeds but the ones I already collected are really big, round and mat. Plant A pollinated itself. Plant B got helped by me but C didn't received help from me nor the wind and still got hit, a lot less, but still. I'll never underestimate the propagation power of pollen again. FINAL HARVEST: PLANT A: - 91g - 281 viable seeds PLANT B: - 28g - 297 viable seeds PLANT C: - 89g - 149 viable seeds 167 mixed seeds from ABC EXTRACT MATERIAL: - 9g TOTAL: 217g / 894 seeds Height by weeks: 1 - 7 cm 2 - 20 cm 3 - 32 cm 4 - 49 cm Switch 5 - 81 cm 6 - 107 cm 7 - 120 cm 8 - 124 cm 9 - 125 cm 10 - 126 cm 11 - 126 cm 12 - 128 cm 13 - 128 cm Nice experience overall. A lot of thing could have gone better but the fact is I got a bunch of seeds for future pheno hunting and God knows I'll need to do some to straighten the genetic. See you all then!

Week 8 - 11/05/26 She got a well needed stripping and had her branches readjusted. Improved light penetration, improved airflow. she needs to get some more height on her. 3 more weeks left in veg i think, then she'll be ready.

🎅 So, as for the smoke after 30 days of harvest day. Biscotti Mints have a high concentration of THC, definitely above 25%, you can feel it. Beginners should exercise caution. -The taste, I wouldn't exactly call it mint. It's similar to peppermint, but it doesn't taste like mint, it tastes like flowers. Bottom line, the taste is similar to pepper flowers. -The effect is only evening, not daytime. It will be good for an evening relaxation or in the company of friends. -The appearance is something beautiful. Everyone who saw him liked him. Dense, stone buds, green-violet color.

🌿 Week 11: Frosty Heights & Real Talk (Flower Week 6) First off, apologies for the slight delay! Usually, I drop these updates on Monday, but I was out celebrating my 25th birthday yesterday and, well... let’s just say things got a little out of control, haha! But I'm back in the tent now, and the girls didn't seem to mind the extra day of peace. Welcome to Week 11. We are deep in the flowering phase (Week 6), and the tent is looking like a winter wonderland. But let’s keep it real – while the frost is insane, it hasn't been a "perfect" run since it’s my first experience with living soil. Here’s the honest breakdown. 🛠️ The Big Defoliation & Adjustments The canopy got so thick that I had to perform one last major defoliation. I removed a significant amount of the large fan leaves that were shading the lower bud sites. It’s always a tough call this late in the game, but it was absolutely necessary to get that light penetration down to the secondary colas and improve RH. Combined with raising the entire tent to save the tops from light stress, the environment is now much more balanced. If you look closely at some of the upper leaves, you can still see a bit of "tacoing" (curling edges) from the previous light intensity and buds on the top of the sweet spot are not very well bulked because of heat stress by light. I caught it likely and the "scars" remained. 🌱 Organic Struggles & Success The "Autumn Fade" is hitting harder than I expected. The remaining fan leaves are yellowing quite aggressively. In living soil, this usually means the nitrogen is running low what I read as the plant focuses everything on the buds. I’m letting nature take its course, but I’ll keep an eye on it to make sure they have enough gas to reach the finish line. • The Scrog Management: My canopy isn't perfectly level. I have a few "underdogs" getting shadowed by the main colas even after the defoliation. It’s a lesson for next time – I need to be even more aggressive with LST early on to keep everything in one uniform plane. 📊 Stats & Environment: • Genetics: Banana Purple Punch Auto (FastBuds) • Status: Bulking phase. • RH: Dropped to 45%-40% – absolutely critical now to prevent any bud rot in these dense clusters. • Temp: 22-26°C. • Aroma: A heavy mix of tropical fruit sweets and gassy undertones. It’s not a catalog grow, it’s a real grow. The "girls" are finishing strong despite the big hiccups. Thanks for riding along with me growmies, one love! 💜🤜🏼🤛🏻 Wondrej

📆 Semana 4 de floración – Permanent Jealousy Auto XL La Permanent Jealousy Auto XL entra en su cuarta semana de floración con muy buena pinta. Los cogollos han engordado notablemente respecto a la semana anterior, y empiezan a llenarse de pistilos que ya apuntan hacia todas direcciones. Se nota que está en plena faena. El desarrollo de resina se ha disparado y las hojas cercanas a los cogollos empiezan a brillar con tricomas. El olor también ha subido de nivel: una mezcla intensa entre lo dulce, lo químico y lo funky, que promete bastante. La planta se mantiene estable, con buen consumo de agua y nutrientes. No hay signos de estrés, ni por temperatura, ni por alimentación. Todo bajo control, y el ritmo de floración se está cumpliendo como toca para una XL automática bien criada. A este paso, se viene una buena cosecha. ¡Seguimos creciendo fuerte 💪!

7/6/2021 - Trimmed lower fan leaves as they were being blocked completely, and a few tips were yellowing. - Continuing to lightly bend the upper branches so the lowers can catch up. - Bought some Gaia Green veg + bloom dry fertilizers as I expect I'll be flipping to flower soon. 7/7/2021 - Watered in a little bit of Gaia Green's veg fertilizer. - Foliar fed w/ DIY kelp extract. - Yellowing/browing on a new leaf, can't identify what it is. - Staked down the branches on the upper mains this evening to open her up for more light penetration, she was gettin' real bushy. 7/9/2021 - Trimmed out middle to expose canopy

amazing growth this week from all 3 plants. The peanut butter cookies is recovering from the transplant. Both the auto cheese and auto cinderella jack have both started to show signs of flowering and have bushed out incredibly well. The pbc has had its first top done and has started growing 2 extra nodes. 07/08/2020 - training has been done on all the autos. They have recovered extremely well and seem to not be slowing down. Finally starting to see the type of flowers I have been striving for. After a semi unsuccessful first grow, this has been a huge relief. Both autos are now showing signs of going into flower so I will try to stop LST unless any unruly branches form. The peanut butter cookies has now started to fully recover from the transplant and topping. Will now allow this to flourish and grow as big as it wants as both autos should be done before its too big (hopefully)

She hermied on us so this may be the last time we plant an unknown seed indoors, this set us back about 3 weeks. ..we plan on putting all of this plant towards edibles ..This wasn't a total waste imo..we learned a valuable lesson on taking unnecessary risks :)

Hi everyone I chop her down day 86 and let her dry in 19° temp and RH 65 % I'm going to slow drying for best results 7 to 8 days She is very dense and sticky bud and so heavy too I think she yield over 150g plus but the bud are not 100% purple its mix with light purple and green ass you can see in pic or video but still I'm very very happy and already germinate another purple lemonade 💜 next week I will update smoke reviews and final dry weight 😀

The buds are pretty airy.. Not dense at all. But still very happy with the outcome. Can't wait to have it all weighed out.. (Dry of course) The root ball was HUGE... I always have an issue with drying too quick (3 days) so, I'm hoping that the box with the computer fan will still move enough air to keep mold from growing.. But not too much to dry out too fast. Also, keeping it in an unused room that stays alot cooler than the rest of the house. Will update when dried and ready for jars! 50 hours of drying.. She still seems pretty moist.. At least.. That's what she said.. Lol.. Had to.. Anyways.. Yeah leaves are still pretty soft almost lively kinda still.. Not crispy.. Trying to make this dry super slow.. And NO hay smell so far.. That's a good thing.. I think.. As long as it still smells like dank.. Tired of drying my buds too quick or too much if I push for 4 days.. 3 days is not good enough.. Im pushing for at least.. AT LEAST 5 days drying and the buds still able to produce about 65% humidity, or so, on their own.. That is what has worked best for me.. Even if it dried in 3 days.. As long as I get the humidity right for curing it wont ruin the terpenes from what I have been experiencing.. Anybody got any other ideas? Lol cuz what I find on the net doesnt work for me.. I didnt wanna use a fan on this.. And im only using a very small weak computer fan that I rigged up to use even less power.. Just scared to dry this too quickor too much.. Thinking about turning the fan off for a little bit.. Maybe the rest of the day and night.. Ok.. So 6 hours after I turned the fan off.. Still reading 55% RH and 20.5C.. It shouldnt mold *crosses fingers* 74 hours drying.. The buds seem very very airy.. And it seems like its one of those types that look like alot but really weighs half of what it looks.. Maybe when I trim her up she'll look better.. Still a very fun and interesting learning experience! On to the next! Still going to update more!!! Probably tomorrow lol Its been a little over 100 hours of drying and the buds and leaves are feeling pretty crisp.. If I wait till the branches "snap" then it usually comes out too dry.. And so far jars 1 and 2 which are the popcorn buds is ready 70% after being in the jars for about 2 hours.. That is too wet still.. Just going to burp very frequently (3 or 4 times daily) and using a fan for a few minutes to help pull that moisture out and let her go right back into curing.. That's the best way I can get it to not smell like hay.. So far so good.. Still smells pretty dank. Some of the nugs are so linky it reminds me of Dr. Grinspoon's from Barney's Farm.. The calyxs are just spaced apart by stem.. Still looks pretty and smells great.. And smokes even better!.. Will update as I go... After about 24 hours in the jars.. The hygrometers are reading 70% - 75% so I left them out overnight to dry out a bit more.. Just put them back into the jars and will check on them when I get home from work tonight.. I'd much rather not dry enough.. Than over dry ANY DAY.. ifit was overdried, it would smell like hay.. But it still smells dank asf.. Plus.. This is just technically giving more time to dry before the cure.. I read that this is considered the "pre-cure phase"... Wish I would have read that before my last 3 - 4 harvests.. But I have learned it now.. So no more excuses for fuckin it up anymore lol.. https://www.cannabisprogrower.com/curing-cannabis/ That is the link to the way that I have started curing.. It seems to be working pretty well. This has details that I could not find anywhere else and basically had to try and figure out on my own... Then I came across this page.. This is the perfect method for curing in my opinion.. Works great for me! Its been in the jars for 6 days.. I now have the hygrometers reading 61% - 63%... According to that website.. I should stop burping daily.. That makes me a little nervous.. I will atleast open each jar daily to get a wiff of them lol.. They smell pretty good.. Not the best I've smelled.. But atleast I know I'm doing it right this time.. Geez.. The drying and curing is the most detailed part of growing.. My first time i thought you just dry it and throw it into the jars.. No matter how long or short of time it took lol.. My first grow was reading 49% after 3 days of drying.. With a fan!.. So glad I got it figured out finally! Made some Bubble Hash with the trim.. Havent weighed it.. But judging by the size (plus I used to be addicted to black tar heroin) it looks like it could be just about 2 grams.. I'll weigh it later.. Still haven't smoked any of it. I only used the 220 micron and 25 micron bags.. 220 to remove all the leafy substance and the 25 to catch all the trichomes.. Usually my bubble hash turns out very dry and breaks apart.. This stuff is super gooey.. Even after drying for 4 days.. Hmm... Smells amazing.. Wish I could smoke it.. I wonder if I could make capsules of this stuff.. And just take it like vitamins.. Lol.. If anybody has tried that or knows anything about it, comment please.. I'm curious A little after 2 weeks of curing.. The buds smell and taste pretty dank! I feel like I got the curing and drying down.. Yessss!

Nothing major to report, weather is still relatively cold and humid for july. Double Grape might be ready in 1 - 2 weeks, I included some macro shots. Let me know what you think.
