Hi all 🧑‍🌾 Welcome to my 🍌💜👊 week update. Hope everyone keeping well and having a great week😁 Thank you so much for so much support on this bananas ride 🙏💜💚💜💚 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 🙏peace and love brothers and sisters ✌️💚💜💚💜💚 Stay tuned for new week update 😉🧑‍🌾✌️💚

03 Sep 2021 I am going to flip the light schedule today and start the flowering stage for my trio. They are plenty big enough now, so it’s time to start producing some bud! I’m going to start the Early Bloom level on my feed chart (stage 1), but I’m only going to give them half strength till I know they can handle it. Here’s what they’re getting today: CALiMAGic 2ml, FloraMicro 2.8ml, FloraGro 3.3ml, FloraBloom 3.3ml, Floralicious Plus 1ml, and Liquid KoolBloom 1ml. My TDS monitor is still not working properly, so I only have the pH to worry about till I can get another one. All 3 plants had an initial pH of 6.4 and were not adjusted. Runoff pH was as follows: C1 - 5.8, C2 - 6.0, C3 - 5.7 The temperature was 84F, and humidity was 50%. I’ve adjusted the timers to switch to a 12/12 light schedule for flowering to start tonight! Harvest should be in about 45 days, then I’m taking the rest of the year off. Well, maybe not the whole rest of the year, but close. Happy growing everyone!! 08 Sep 2021 So, we’re nearing the end of the first week of the flowering stage and the plants are doing wonderful! I last fed them 5 days ago before going out of town for the weekend, which was also the day that I switched them to start flowering. So far they have started to stretch a bit and develop their branches a little more. I measured each plant today, as well as check the distance from the lights. C1 is 19 inches tall and is 16 inches away from the light. C2 is 20 inches tall and 15 inches from the light. C3 is also 20 inches tall, and 15 inches away from the lights. Some of the leaves are showing the fact that they hadn’t been watered/fed in 5 days, but they mostly look good. They are all looking green, healthy and bushy! I plan to do some defoliation tomorrow to thin them out a bit. I’m also planning on trimming off all of their lower leaves and small undeveloped branches to make them more manageable. I kept with the same feeding levels today as the other day. Each plant took nearly the whole gallon of water mixed with nutrients today, and still had plenty of runoff. I still haven’t gotten a replacement for my broken TDS meter, so I don’t have any TDS data today, just pH. Each plant was given CALiMAGic 2ml, FloraMicro 2.8ml, FloraGro 3.3ml, FloraBloom 3.3ml, Floralicious Plus 1ml, and Liquid KoolBloom 1ml. The initial pH for all 3 gallons was 6.4. Normally I don’t adjust this pH level, but since the runoff pH has been low (between 5.7-5.9) when feeding this level, I decided to adjust a little today. I added 1ml of pH UP to each gallon which adjusted each of them to 6.7 going in. The runoff pH for each plant was as follows: C1 - 6.3, C2 - 6.2, and C3 - 6.0. This level is much better than before, so I’ll keep adjusting to near the same levels in future feedings. The temperature in the tent was 86F, and humidity was 43%. 10 Sep 2021 Today I mainly just did plant maintenance. I defoliated and trimmed the living daylights out of my Trio! They’re practically nude!! It’s a great flowering start point. At least in my opinion. I also pruned about 12 smaller branches for clones. I’m not doing anything special with them, except cutting them off, trimming off excess foliage and sticking them in a solo cup with water and a tiny bit of FloraMicro and FloraGro with the ends cut at a 45 degree angle. This is the method I used to get this Trio, so I’m hoping that some of the 12 grow roots to have a perpetual Blueberry Muffin grow going. It’s an awesome strain!! After doing all the maintenance, I wanted to water/feed them, but the clock was against me. The lights go out at 8 pm, and it was already 7:40 pm. So what I did was prepare 1 gallon with the proper nutrients and pH for the 3 of them to share. Each of them received 5 1/3 cups I fed them CALiMAGic 2ml, FloraMicro 2.8ml, FloraGro 3.3ml, FloraBloom 3.3ml, Floralicious Plus 1ml, and Liquid KoolBloom 1ml. The initial pH was 6.4, and I added 1ml of pH UP which adjusted the pH to 6.6. I added 2 cups to each plant in turn twice, then 1 cup in turn for a total of 5 cups each, then split the remaining cup between the 3 plants. Each got 5 1/3 cups of the solution and none of them had any significant runoff to measure. I trimmed and defoliated each plant to provide equal and plentiful light exposure all the way through each plant. I cleared off all of the lower branches for clones, and to provide clearance at the bottom of each plant. All 3 are growing with their branches in a Christmas tree formation seeking the light with good spacing. I’m hoping that I didn’t over for it today, and that each plant responds the way I want them too. Time will tell. Happy growing everyone!!

Ive been flushing around 7 days now and the first leaves are starting to fade,in around 5-10 days it will be ready to chop. I've also harvested a couple branches early with cloudy/clear trichomes to hold me over and make room for new strains to start vegging in the tent. This is by far my best run of this strain and smelliest , im not entirely sure if my skills and equipment have gotten better or this phenotype is just especially good.

Day 64 to 70 On autopilot. I have been light on the nutrients so bumped up the nutes to 810ppm this week. Forbidden Runtz 1 is coming close, the buds are getting THICC and hard. I'm keeping a close eye on the trichomes. It's almost go time. I predict 2-3 more weeks for the rest but I don't know anything Feeding around 750ppm this week. Lightening up on Nutes for FR1 at ~350ppm.

New grow , New seeds just been put in water for 24hr then they will be put in paper towel for another 24hr before being planted straight into coco with some mykos an inch or two under. I will update in 48hr. 16/07/18 - all three seeds germed fine all with 1cm+ tails and planted in 80/20 coco/perlite mix with some mykos mixed in and a layer of it 1-2 inch down from where seeds were planted. I watered them each with 600ml roughly before planting and will update when they break through. 18/07/18 - 48hrs since seeds where planted and can see first set of true leaves already, I’ve got a steady 60-70% humidity and staying at 24 degrees Celsius. I’m going to spray them tonight with some ph’ed water with a tiny bit of rhizo.

Flush Day! Well they look good and got amber trichomes on all plants around 20% which im happy with. did a 4L flush per plant! I did another haircut which took off the rest of the fan leaves, and man my finger were soooo sticky.. ridiculous resin production. woop woop I am curious how much i'm going to yield off these.. I feel i am still learning, and this grow was better but not perfect. I wish the cola to be a bit more dense n closer internodes. oh well. Another grow will be on the way so stay tuned? I will flush once more then hopefully have harvested and drying within 2 ish weeks.. anyways stay safe yall n keep it sleeeezy

All feeds with nutes use either a whole ratio or combination of "Veg Mix" and "Bloom Mix"concentrates DILUTED in water until a total ppm of add in is reached using a (Total Dissolved Solids)TDS Meter measured in PPM (parts per million). The "Veg Mix" concentrate will eventually be added in smaller ratios and "Bloom Mix" concentrate what will eventually replace the "Veg Mix" concentrate entirely with the ppm and ratios listed when I feed. Veg mix recipe is on week 3. Bloom Mix recipe is on week 5. Day 49 VPD is okay now - temps at 75F RH also now at 65% with ILVent at 50% = VPD of 1.04 - ppfd also same as yesterday mostly 480 to 490 around the ring with 510 and 520 in the center Took ph readings as well - 3 readings 6.43, 6.48, and 6.37 to avg 6.426 Which is good because she's starting to show signs of stress after the topping and defoliation from a couple days ago. The leaves are starting to curl at the tips and the bronze color stripping is happening again - however this time seems to be a slower progression so Im hoping that having the correct ph this time will help while she's re-routing her resources. I 'did notice also that the growth tips seem to be growing at a slower rate than before - I think she's at her limit in colas and the roots are having to find more space to spread, may even be too big for the 5 gallon pot. I have no plans to change her out just yet, but will monitor. Soil is drier today - so I will be watering tomorrow with de-chlorinated water at 6.4ph Day 50 VPD was good at 74/64 with the tent open while I feed that I left it open for a bit and took time in feeding and cleaning - after all that still good at 74F/61%RH/50%ILV ppfd was checked after water and setting back - same as yesterday as most of the newest growth is still coming from the new colas - most seem to be adjusting 1 at a time in each split but both are showing growth now on all cuts. Started feed by making new ph buffer solutions, calibrating/testing both meters. The have about a .15 variance between the two. Checked weight and made 1.5 gallons of feed. started at 228ppm added 450ppm veg and 150ppm bloom for a total of 833ppm feed/epsom salt - splashed h2o2 and ph'd to about 6.4- I fed via watering can and spray and fed the whole amount slowly since I was feeding until bottom drip and she took it all before starting to bottom drip. Afterwords I let her drain (about a quart came out) and checked ppm from runoff at 2500 (telling me she's okay but isnt eating as much as before her topping yet) ph is a mystery - I show 3 readings from top level of 6.62, 6.57, and 6.57 for an avg 6.586 but 2 separate readings from 2 meters (4 readings total) on the bottom runoff showed 5.3 and 5.6 then confirmed later. I expected a variance since the wood ash probably stuck to the top side of the soil - but I didnt expect that much of a difference. I will monitor but honestly dont know what I should do, if anything other than watch. made a video of the fan movements and runoff drip Day 51 What I am calling "stress burn" is progressing as expected. I am monitoring the ph from the top as I did before, but again, not much I can do other than over water, so I'll just watch for now and compare rate of spread until she fixes her resource pathways. It seemed to take about a week to clear up after the ash treatment last time, so I am on day 3 of 7 for now with no treatment. Looking for a spurt of new growth to show and then I'll know she's better. Adjusted the lights to accommodate a week 6 level of 500 to 600 ppfd - that means I can raise the lights to the top of the tent and increase power. So now set at 3 tick up and 37 inches from the soil or 26" from the plant top. Now her ppfd reads about 540 on both of the center colas and 500 to 510 on the surrounding ring. Adjusting lights meant I had to adjust the fans up to medium power and re-directed them to blow at the edges of the pot; made a video. VPD is steady, but still warmer than typical (only by a couple degrees nothing too much) 76F/61%RH/50%ILV for 1.15 kpa on room VPD Day 52 VPD is higher now that I have the lights to the top of my tent and the fans on the lights blowing down at the pot. I moved the IL Vent to the top sucking out with the motor and vent outside the tent now. I also opened two lower air holes with my heater set for fan on the opposite side of the tent than the vent. Currently, I am at a max of 1.2 room VPD and ranging down to 1.0 so I'll take it until it does something else. 74F/65% RH/75%ILV - I will monitor to ensure it's stable. ppfd is same as yesterday as there's little growth still. Spots are still progressing on the oldest leaves at the same rate as before - however the newest leaves are not showing signs yet, so I will continue to monitor. Day 53 ppfd was a little changed today, showing that there's growth coming back now. lowest on outer ring was 500 with most at 520 and 530 highest, center colas were tested at 540 and 560ppfd. VPD was stable as I watched it most of the day since I made changes yesterday. Temps were 74 to 76 and RH was 61% to 68%. ILV was set to 33% with the bottom heater on fan to draw in air. lockout continues on the oldest fan leaves at the last top nodes. New growth is already marked in a couple of spots. I have about 6 gallons of tap water burning off chlorine now and will use about 2 gallons to flush at 8ph. I plan to dunk this weekend with feed so this will allow time to dry out and hopefully reset the ph and lower my ppm readings at the lower part of the pot before then. Day 54 Took Control pics measured VPD and ppfd Lights are at the top of the tent and second tick from highest power level. Lights to soil is 37 inches and lights to plant is 12 inches shorter so 25 inches leaves to light. currently ranging 530 to 550 around the ring and 575/580 ppfd at center (after feed and replaced). Moving the lights (day 51) made the tent hotter so I changed my ILVent to suck out at the top and fresh air in at the bottom - I have been fighting to keep temps under 78 managed to hit 74 to 75 with the heater being set just to fan for the bottom air vents- I did also raise humidity to a setting of 65% a day before moving the lights, so Im hitting 61 to 68% between power cycles on the humidifier. Overall Tent VPD is 1.0 to 1.2 as max. Took controls for feed. Weight 16lbs 11oz. tested and calibrated 2 meters and took 4 ph readings of 6.55, 6.77, 6.53, 6.85 to avg 6.675. from top of soil (last runoff measured 5.6 and 5.3 on two meters) prepared 2 gallons of feed at 500 ppm over tap. (burned chlorine off overnight) starting ppm was 217 - added 75/25 veg/bloom ratio. ph balanced to 7.8 and 7.63 on separate meters (rinsed and retested to be sure got 7.79 and 7.63 again) I used 4 knitting needles in the soil about 3 inches from the plant center. Poured feed water over the needles until it pooled slightly on top of the soil, I then pulled the needle out a little to allow the water to drain into the holes better. I did this in 8 different spots. As soon as she started dripping water from the bottom I poured a little on the leaves and then moved the plant to another drip pan to finish pouring the rest over the top of the soil without dripping any over the sides. Took videos of the drip and waited 10 min before putting her on another clean drip pan and back in the tent. Runoff from second drip pan was measured twice at 5.8ph and 2410 ppm - and first pan 5.85 and 2670ppm (expected higher ppm since I moved perlite on the bottom with the needles) Defoliated the oldest leaves before lights out. Day 55 She mostly looks like she appreciated the clippings and ph balance from yesterday - slower progression of the lockout issue and largest new growth since topping day. So speaking of new growth, I plan to use LST in the next few days to set these colas in what will hopefully be their last bind around the ring. VPD is steady at 75F to 77F and RH is between 63 and 68%. My ILV have been set to 33% and the lower fan blowing rather than heat. top soil ph was measured with 3 readings, on a tested and calibrated meter. 6.47, 6.7, 7.12 to avg 6.763 (kinda wild in those readings so I double checked them all twice and got the same in each hole)

This clone was randomly given to me and I had no setup! I immediately got her out of the growers pit into a 3L. This is going to be a simple Living Soil and Water only grow! Her roots outgrew the 3L and she began to crash as you’ll see from the pictures. This was easily remedied by increasing to a 5L.

Week 6 Report The plants are thriving with strong growth and great color. Day 39: The last feed of the vegetative phase—1L of water per plant. At this stage, they’ve absorbed everything really well, and this marks the final watering before transitioning to the flowering phase. Day 40: Defoliation day! I decided to give the 3 FullGas plants a proper trim, removing excess foliage to improve airflow and light penetration. These are the only plants that haven’t been topped so far, and they're responding well to this treatment. Day 41: Final day of the vegetative phase. All the plants have grown beautifully and are ready for the next chapter. They look healthy, strong, and vigorous. The plants are growing at a good pace, with no major issues. The Athena nutrients continue to work wonders, really boosting their health and growth. Some of the leaves are showing signs of thrips, but it’s nothing to worry about. Overall, everything looks great.
