D68 (28/01/2021): First official day of week 6 in bloom and first official day (second in reality) of pre harvest flush. The smell is strong when I open the tent! It does not take long for the whole room to smell dank and even outside the room.
- temp: 24-25C light ON ; 20-22C light OFF
- no water
- RH: 49-52% light ON ; 49-50% light OFF
D69 (29/01/2021): I did a first proper flush today by running approximately 2.5 gallons of water trough the medium. There is still a lot of nutrients in the medium. I might do the exact same flush tomorrow. The PH of the run off is high (around PH7-7.1). This is an other reason to flush again tomorrow. I also reduced the light ON schedule by two hours. So now 18h hours ON and 6 hours OFF. I will continue reducing the ON period until they are ready for a complete dark period. I also try to reduce the air temperature.
- temp: 24-25C light ON ; 19-20C light OFF
- water: PH6.4, 135PPM, 2.5 gallons each
- run off: PH7 and 680PPM for Glue Gelato ; PH7.1 and 560PPM for Banana Kush
- RH: 47% light ON ; 48-53% light OFF
D70 (30/01/2021): I did a second flush since I was not satisfied with run off PPM of yesterday. Today, the run off PPM is under 300 which is what I wanted. The run off PH is still high with 7.1. Banana Kush is ripening with the pistils slowly turning brown. Glue Gelato look sooooo yummy and I can't wait to harvest it. There is a small color change in some leaves but I'm expecting more in the next days.
- temp: 23-24C light ON ; 19C light OFF
- water: PH6.4, 125PPM, 2.5 gallons each
- run off: PH7.1 and 260PPM for Glue Gelato ; PH7.1 and 250PPM for Banana Kush
- RH: 46% light ON ; 46-48% light OFF
D71 (31/01/2021): Glue Gelato is changing color. I'm checking trichomes everyday on both girls and no amber yet.
- temp: 23-24C light ON ; 19C light OFF
- no water
- RH: 45% light ON ; 49-50% light OFF
D72 (01/02/2021): Well well well...the clock is ticking for those girls. Glue Gelato is now having a couple of amber trichomes. Banana Kush don't have any. Overall Banana Kush has less trichomes and fluffier buds. This girls is not ready yet but I will need to chop her down at the same time has the Glue Gelato because my drying space is the tent I'm growing in. I will try to push the Banana Kush to ripen faster by lifting up the lamp at 16 inches from top bud and by reducing of 2 hours the day period for a 16 hours light ON and 8 hours light OFF. But at least all Banana Kush trichomes looks milky.
- temp: 23-24C light ON ; 18-19C light OFF
- water: PH6.2, 123PPM, less then a gallon each
- run off: PH7.4 and 200PPM for Glue Gelato ; PH7.4 and 287PPM for Banana Kush
- RH: 45% light ON ; 40-45% light OFF
D73 (02/02/2021): I gave water probably for the last time today. Trichomes on Glue Gelato are starting to amber on top buds. Not a lot of amber but you can see that all the trichomes are starting to degrade by curling down slowly. Trichomes on Banana Kush are not amber at all but they all look milky. Glue Gelato is ready to harvest but Banana Kush need more time. It's tough to make a decision to chop or not since they are not at the same stage of growth. I want to place them in a complete 48 hours of darkness before harvest. 1h less light today for a 15h light ON and 9h light OFF. The lamps are now at 20 inches.
- temp: 23-24C light ON ; 18-19C light OFF
- water: less then a gallon each
- RH: 45% light ON ; 40-45% light OFF
D74 (03/02/2021): Glue Gelato is ready for 48h of darkness. I will take her out of the tent and place her in an other room without light. I will try to maintain a proper environment in this room and if it smells to strong or if the condition are not good I will replace her in the tent and both will start the 48h darkness. The idea is to give Banana Kush 2 more days to ripe and swoll more. After 48h, I will chop Glue Gelato and place her in the tent to start drying. Banana Kush will then start her 48h darkness. I don't know if this strategy is good but I will monitor everything closely and react if something is wrong.
- temp: 22-23C light ON ; 19C light OFF
- no water
- RH: 47% light ON ; 43-45% light OFF

I mean actually using this tent for other grow, so might as well rate it.
It's quite durable and like the shape and color of it but I like this tent less with every grow.
Doesn't has the best placement of air vents and therefore steals quite a bit of space which is supposed to be for your plants because it develops too much negative pressure.
The three squared "windows" at the bottem aren't really usable because too much light will come through. It's just gonna make your tent a hermie tent.

Temps at 78-84 f, humidity inside dome around 68-76 depending on temps. Direct planting into coco jiffy plugs, charged with a light seaweed extract. Took 2 days exactly for seed to pop out of plugs. Another day to remove its shell, will start counting as day 1 from here on out. Check out the other strains on my other diaries. 1 gelat.og auto and a green crack auto, both from seedsman.

Week 5, just took down the othwr side. Was experimenting with bleach for sterilization. Unfortunately it resulted in an extremely poor yield, from one of my big producers. Have switched over to a benificial bacteria mix, which includes some molasses, folic acid, Humic ac8s and sea kelp. Product is called Hydro Bio

4 weeks flower and half way done now! i took off some leafs that where touching buds to prevent mold, beside that pretty much straight up watering and waiting
she looks a little diffrent on some of the pics because of the light i used, hope you dont mind the better lighting and some other perspectives to look at her π
day 3 - yesterday i chopped up a banana and put it into boiling water and let it sit for about 8 hours. now i use the extract as fertilizer just because i want to try it out for my next grow, the amnesia haze wich will be outdoors on the balcony. I use 400ml tab water for 100ml of the banana extract to feed her just for once now. maybe if she likes it i give her a little more. i think it might be a great natural addition to the organic fertilizer i am useing

****************************************
Yesterday, day 105 and 62 days after the switch to 12/12, Kim, Jannine and Iris were harvested. 5 days in advance, I flushed the girls and after the EC was sufficiently reduced, I watered them one more time using FloraKleen. The next day, I watered with plain tapwater and runoff EC was the same as our tapwater. That Wednesday, was the last day I gave them water. On Friday, they had their 12 hours of light for the last time. I forgot to make a family picture just before harvest, but I did make a movie during those last hours of light. After 36 hours of darkness, I harvested on sunday.
The coco had dried up quite a bit. The pots felt light to the touch, but when I removed Jannine from the tent (the one that was always in the middle), she immediately collapsed under the weight of her own buds! The same happened to Kim, only Iris was able to holdup most buds, but with a lot of effort. Apparently they had support from each other and the walls of the tent all that time.
The buds were promising: heavy, hard and dense. Can't wait to see how they work out after drying and curing. Even the buds lower on the plants were not nearly as fluffy as my first grow, but more like little marbles. My first grow, I trimmed everything wet, but this time, I only removed the fan leaves and some of the bigger sugar leaves. Also, I kept the branches bigger this time. I threw a lot of the little buds in the trim pile, but since they were still looking and feeling like some good buds (but just small) I decided after harvesting the first plant, to throw them in separate containers. So I now have the trim from all the plants, mixed with some of the smaller buds from Jannine and two separate containers with the smaller buds from both Iris and Kim. It went into the freezer fresh, directly after harvest. Since I am lazy, I ordered a bubble washer, which will be delivered somewhere this week, to ease up the hash making proces. Can't wait to try some of the hash from these girls!
As for most of the buds, they are drying in the tent. The circumstances could be a lot better: for weeks during flower, RH in our house was at 60%, but in the 24 hours directly after harvest, it came down to 40%. The weather changed from very humid to very dry and it will be like this until the end of the week. Considering it's about 23 degrees C in the drying room (maybe 22 during night) and the fact it will become increasingly warmer the next few days, I am worried about the buds drying to fast (by far my biggest concern), but also loosing some potency. It is now 24 hours after harvest and the buds are still pretty wet, so at least 3 days of drying should be possible, maybe 4. A few days slower would be better, but probably unlikely.
Anyway, this ends my second grow. Off course, I will be back with the final results in a few weeks, after drying, curing, making hash of the trim/popcorn buds and off course, testing it all. I expect to start a new grow somewhere in august. Thanks all for following along and all the help during some troublesome moments. I hope you all have a great summer! Stay safe, keep growing!

Outdoor Auto #2 Sour Diesel
fastbuds originals sour diesel auto
13th November 2020
BLACK FRIDAY π±π» lol
Only if ya superstitous π
Okay so you may have noticed there is only one sour diesel plant featured this week?
That is because I have put the other plant out bush somewhere alongside a Male auto plant to be open pollinated.
I didn't want the risk of having any of my other plants pollinated so I took the male auto and the sour diesel
a fair ways out into the bush , found a protected spot and will leave them both there for atleast a week or until
the male has well and truly released pollen into the air.
Once I feel that the plants have had their "sexy time" I will collect some extra pollen for freezer storage
before pulling up the male and bringing the sour diesel plant back home to finish off the seed production process.
By doing it this way I hope to get quite a few "auto" beans to play with π
* Now for a quick report on the other plant that is still here and flowering.
She is finally starting to put on a little bit of bulk and smell which is encouraging. π
The bio bloom and worm castings reall made a difference I feel .
That is about it for this week , When I go out to check on the ones out bush I will take the camera so I can get some snaps.
Thanks for stopping by π
Edit 14th November I went out to water the Sour diesel and Male auto that are out bush.
Above you will see a video of my highly technical and advanced methods of pollination π

* Cold temps early this week, lights 24/7 from day 31 to keep temps steadier (24-25cΒ°).
* GWK #2 leaves pointing down day 32-33 , cold soil and a little underwatered the next day.
* Watering 700ml/pot with 6.5 ph, 19 cΒ° temp tap water with,
~ Active vera (biobizz), EM microorganisms, co2 tablet.
* Organic NPK to the others two ( Stomper #3, SODK day 33 ss, 28 day SODK. 25 gr/ pot.
* Smells not something special yet, LST going good, we ll keep pushing it a few more days.
Β€ π±Stomper #1 with aggresive LST starting day 14, not a good idea, small stretch so far, burn tips with no extra food maybe its light burn tip.
Β€π± Stomper #2 starting LST week 3, more nods, bigger plant better performance for this style.
Β€π± Stomper #3 the stressed one, no techniques here just a bit of defoliation.π€
βͺοΈοΈπΏGWK #1 starting LST day 14, good reaction, taller nods than stomper.
βͺοΈοΈ πΏGWK #2 starting LST day 21,not a big difference with #1, great response,bit sensitive to cold temps ( 2 days to rehab).
β π΄SODK with different style of leaves, more indica dominant, but lighter green colour, starting LST n defoliation day 21, probably will stay in tent alone more than a week.π€ͺ
* Day 34 -> foliar spray with Acti-vera (biobizz) 2ml/l.
* Not much stretch this week, maybe the cold temps at the beginning of the week or just the genetics, healthy plants till now, no defficients.
π Last day of this week released the 4 of them (stomper #1,2 & GWK #1,2) from LST to get stretchy + second weeks 5 watering at 23cΒ° with EMs and 0,5ml/l snake poison (boron + other minerals).1
π± Healthy leaves n buds progressinge except GWK #2 cause stress earlier this week. π§1ltr each n 600ml for stomper #3. 1st watering with 700ml at day 32.

Today adjust some things in the tent it didn't feel a right not to happy with tents quality π€ also it's very challenging to get to back corner plant. I need to fully open the tent. There are no peak holes ore other opening to get to the back . And it feels unstable. The Plants i only did some final defoliation and gave 0.5l normal water
Day 11 flowering phase
Plants looking okay to me. Didn't water them today want to let them dry out some . I think because of all the watering i am Struggling with the humidity in the tent . It is around 80% and that little dehumidifier don't do jack patetoe . Def need to think of a solution for later in the weeks
Day 12 Flowering phase
Gave nuts water and put a 2nd ScrOG up a little higher .

Advanced Nutrients is getting 10/10 for me
Day 14 Flowering phase
Week 2 of flowering phase complete
It was a learning week for me . Got bit scared how they grow 15 cm in a day . But it's seems to be okΓ© i got still some real estate left. I think that i am not giving them any water what so ever . I need to learn to let them dry out some . Also a bit struggling with humidity in the tent . I am trying to give them water right before light on ore right after light out . It's definitely a learning process that i don't mind learning π€π»π€π»
Thanks for stopping by growmies i appreciate it a lot π

Hi allπ§βπΎ
Welcome to my final πππ week update.
First of all. I would like to thank you all for such an amazing support on this bananas journey. I am amazed of the amount of love received from community here. Thank you Grow Diaries and Fastbuds for opportuniy to share and grow this amazing genetics. Love you allβ€οΈππ
Was looking for strong indica dominant strain and after reading and hearing so much about this one. Just couldn't resist to not give a go. Was a bit worried before planting seeds that my final yield outcome may not be satisactionary as only have 0.26msq and Fastbuds advertising this strain as 450-550g msq but thankfuly my result was way above this scale.
My 2 beautiful ladies
Athena - right corner lady. She was slighlthly more dominant over entire grow cycle. She got more space on scrog earlier and that's why she developed the most.
Xena - left corner lady, I belive that she could outgrew her sister if she just have more space and another week of time. Did not expect her to turn so well on the end.
Both girls were put in darkness for 48h before chop. Wet trimmed and hang for a week. Daily jars burbing for 10 days and every 2-4 days now.
Weights
Wet trimmed
Athena 870g
Xena 632g
Total 1502g
Dry trimmed
Athena 172g
Xena 147g
Total dry 319g
Bubble hash 6g (37g of trims)
I am very happy with this result.
In my opinion Banana Purple Punch Auto its a masterpiece.
Thank you so much for all the support, likes, follows and comments πβ€οΈπβ€οΈ
Peace and love brother and sisters βοΈππ§βπΎ
Smoke review coming in shortly

Candyman Day 22, Week 3 of veg! Will probably push 3 more weeks of veg until I flip π¬
The first plant (first pictures) seems a lot smaller then the other two π€ I've upped the lights to 50% intensity now. Second plant I've topped a set of lower branches aswell hopefully can start using my lst clips to train all three very soon. Last one seems a bit unhappy to me but still growing nicely. First couple branches only pushed out 3 finger leaves probably nothing just not noticed that before π€·ββοΈπΌπ€£
Update: I've just applied some LSTing so see how they look over next couple of days
