First day under led lights after receiving the fresh cuttings. All of them are healthy but unfortunately is the night temperature at the moment a bit to low. All lights are dimmed; the sunlight leds on the lowest setting and the Cree cobs around 20%. Output watts for all leds is at the moment 280W. PAR readings coming up in the next days 💡 Now the PAR readings: 3x3 measurements at plant tip. Front row to the back. Measurements in mmol/m2s with the quantumsensor from apogee. 400,570,400,550,620,610,410,470,410. Around 500 in average.

May 3, 2024 Day 78 This week is what seems to be the last week before flushing and a light intensity drop. Both ladies look really nice and coming along swimmingly. More orange pistils, more amber trichomes. Not enough of either, but they are getting there. Probably the next week of nutrients and a week of flush. Speaking of nutrients, I decided to cut the whole regimen in half. There's clearly nutrient burn and I can't seem to get rid of it. I also believe the plants aren't taking in as much water as they were before. The containers are holding more water and that tells me it has nowhere to go besides in the soil and the ants aren't keeping up. Nutrient lockout? Age of plants? They are an 8 week strain while we are starting week 11 today. I'm sure I'll find out. So I'm guessing about a week and a half left before harvest. I'm not sure if it will be 2 weeks or not, but I've been saying 2 weeks for over a week now. We are definitely close to comfortably call 2 weeks or earlier. Hopefully earlier. Banana Purple Punch A is getting heavy. Branches are starting to lean and buds are covering buds from the weight. Apparently these branches aren't as strong as Banana Purple Punch B whose branches are stiff as boards. Very healthy though. Although, she did take a hit from the nutrient burn. Not much and definitely not as bad as the Tropicana Cookies did. Banana Purple Punch B is a thing of beauty. She is small and compact, but her buds are fat and she smells amazing. Tons of trichomes and lots of bud throughout the plant. She'll definitely need a trimming before I harvest. I think I've decided to do a mostly wet trim and leaves just the sugar leaves on the plant. Anything with a stem I can reach will be cut off. Same with Banana Purple Punch A, but her buds to leaf ration is fantastic. I won't have to do much trimming on her. Banana Purple Punch B, on the other hand, will need a whole lot of trimming. I've got this week's first set of trichome pics. One for each plant. Looks pretty good. A bunch of cloudy, a bunch of clear and some amber. Definitely not ready. No watering today as I topped off the reservoirs with a half gallon of plain water. PHed at 6.2 which took a bit of PH down. Apparently my water is really low in acid. The lighting will be staying the same for most of the week. As these ladies have only a couple of weeks left, I'll try to time the light intensity drop accordingly. The environment is still messed up. SMH. The temp is still fine, but the humidity is still high. Now only 55%, but still too high. I'd prefer 40% now, but I'll take 50% somehow. It stopped raining and the weather is really nice, so I don't see why the humidity is still high. Last night the temp was averaging out at 67.9° with a low of 65° with the humidity still being high at 55.8%. At least it's staying the same. Grow System Environment: Temp: 73.2° RH: 55.0% VPD: 1.23 kPa May 4, 2024 May the 4th be with you! Star Wars all the way! Not a lot going on today. Both ladies got a full gallon of half dose nutrients. I think it's time. They have about a week and a half left to go. Maybe less. Hopefully less. Banana Purple Punch A was rotated today. Her branches are so top heavy now that the whole plant jiggled when I moved it. Honestly, kinda funny to see. Her reservoir was almost empty. She's definitely still thirsty. With the half dose of nutes, I expect to start to see a fade. At the end of the week I'll start the real flush with Flawless Finish. Only for the first watering though. Also, I don't top flush. All of the nutrient buildup on the top soil will just poison the plants. So I continue to run the reservoir. Afterall, that is the place where the nutrients get absorbed. So Flawless Finish blocks some sort of beta things that prevent the plant from taking in nutrients. I've used it for the last 3 runs and I have no idea if it works or not. I very rarely get a good fade. Too many nutrients at the end? Maybe. Banana Purple Punch B hasn't changed position at all. She fits perfectly in the tent where she is. She had a little bit more water than her sister, but still low enough to fill the reservoir with a whole gallon and not overdo it. She also has about a week and a half left. Her buds are huge now. The very tops are the huge ones, but the lower buds are all dense. Should be decent popcorn for pressing. Her leaves are a deep color of green. Not so deep to be a concern for toxicity. However, FastBuds says the leaves should turn light green at the end. We shall see. Also, I'm not seeing purple at all. Hence the half dose and flush next week. The lighting of course is going to be dropped to 70% power in a few days. Then down to 60% at the start of next week and will be brought down to 50% for the final few days. The environment is bad today. The humidity is back to 60%. I can still control the temp though. I think I need to drop it to 74° for the day and try to keep it at 65° at night. A tall order, but I think I can pull it off. I just wish I could get rid of this damned humidity. Not that I think anything will get ruined. I have 3 clip fans running at half power each, so airflow is fantastic. These also quite a bit of open space for Banana Purple Punch A. Not so much with Banana Purple Punch B. But she still has a decent amount of open space. Definitely enough to not get any issues. At least that's the theory. Grow System Environment: Temp: 74.0° RH: 57.9% VPD: 1.19 kPa May 5, 2024 Trichome day! I got a couple of decent trichome pics from each plant. They aren't perfect, but they are pretty good for what I can do. No watering today obviously. That won't be for another day or 2. Banana Purple Punch A looks great! Her colas are getting heavier and slightly fatter. I'd say I'm on point with when she will be done. I say another 10 days. Flush will start at the end of this week. That should leave me a good 5 to 6 days of flushing before harvest. She's also getting more and more orange pistils and some amber trichomes. I still see mostly clear and a good amount of cloudy. Definitely not ready yet. Banana Purple Punch B also looks great! Her buds are just as fat as her sister plant. They aren't nearly as far along though. I'd give this one 2 weeks. But maybe the same 10 more days. They are different phenomes afterall. Her branches are like SUPER stiff. No leaning, no anything except the jiggle when moved. Such a strong little one. Neither plant is showing signs of fade yet. I expect it will start to show up in the next week. The buds are also still quite green. I'll also be expecting purple in the next week. We shall see. Light power will be dropped at the end of the week I think. I was going to drop it tomorrow, but I think these two need a bit more time. The environment is still messed up. It's mid spring now and it's just getting humid. I can expect to have a lot of humidity for the next 3 weeks. I will just have to do my best to fight it. Currently, the temp is at 76° and the humidity is still at 60%. It just refuses to drop down. I had the humidity in my room all the way back down to 50% and it did absolutely nothing. I'll have to periodically open the tent until this humidity levels back out. No big deal, I'm always home. I also keep trying to get the temp down at night. I can't seem to get it below 67°. I'd really like it at 65° and the day temp at 74°, but it doesn't seem to be working. The problem is I can't get the humidity down without cranking the heat. But if I crank the heat, the temp goes above 77° and gets dangerously close to messing up the trichomes. Grow System Environment: Temp: 73.1° RH: 59.7% VPD: 1.10 kPa May 6, 2024 Not much going on today. No trichome pics, no watering, no light changes. The only thing I have to mess with is the humidity still. It should go down today. I have my room at 47%. Banana Purple Punch A looks great! Super heavy colas and dense... Very dense buds. Solid. She has a few more orange pistils, but that's a good thing. She should be finishing up in about a week now. Banana Purple Punch B is stunning. For a small plant, her structure is wonderful, bud are huge and solid. She is pretty bushy, so I will be very happy when I can trim all the foliage off before harvest. She should need about another 10 to 12 days. The aroma coming off of these has changed since that last time I said something about it. It's more pungent now and smells of sweet fruit and something heavy. I'm not getting much or any banana smell, but I'm a smoker, so my sniffer is a bit off. It's still strong enough for me to smell the essence of this strain. Unfortunately, I don't know anyone who doesn't smoke and will be willing to smell my weed. Lol And the one person I know who would smell it smokes more than I do. As before, the lights will stay the same for the rest of this week. Then I'll drop them down to a DLI of 36 mol/m²/d. The environment is still kind of wonky with the temp being around 75° and the humidity being still high at 58%. But as I said earlier, I have my room back down to 48% humidity, so I should be able to get the tent down to 50% sometime this afternoon, and hopefully it will stay that way for at least another week. Grow System Environment: Temp: 73.8° RH: 62.3% VPD: 1.06 kPa May 7, 2024 Watering day. Both ladies got a full gallon today. Other than that I took some pictures. I'm not bothering with trichomes for the next few days with these 2. They clearly aren't ready, so no point in checking clear trichomes. When I see more orange pistils, I'll start checking them. Both ladies have super heavy buds. They are making the tops sway a bit when moved. So big, so dense, so heavy. I look forward to harvest. The lighting is the same as always. It'll be dropped by the end of this week I think. I'm planning on dropping it down to 36 mol/m²/d for the last week of flower. It should work to bring out purple and to help tighten the buds up. I'm also considering cutting the nutrients off at the end of this week and go for plain water. It's just about time for flushing as it is, so in 2 days, I'll do one last nutrient dose and that's it. The environment is starting to readjust to a normal level, it's just taking a long time. Currently the temp is at 76° and the humidity is at 54%. Still high humidity, but better than 60%. My room has 42% humidity, so the humidity should eventually drop below 50%. I'll try to drop the temp as well. I'd like to see 74° for the rest of the grow. I'm still having issues with night temp. I cannot get it to go down enough. It sat at 68° and 55% humidity. Grow System Environment: Temp: 73.6° RH: 54.6% VPD: 1.25 kPa May 8, 2024 So I have been doing a bit of image research and have found that these two should start showing purple anyway now. At least that's what it looks like. These ones have super green buds. Nowhere near ready for harvest. Still another week and a half or so. No water needed today. I will note that the reservoirs are still nearly full. Interesting. Banana Purple Punch A looks great. Her buds are super fat and smell great. They are dense and when they are ready will be hard as rocks. Her leaf to bud ratio is perfect. Not too many but no bare. I was more worried about her getting super bushy. Nothing of the sort. Very nice. I'll be trimming her down before harvest, but I'm not bothering with the sugar leaves until after drying. They will help give more of an even dry. Banana Purple Punch B has caught up in bud size with her sister plant. Although, she has more leaves. Trimming will be a nightmare with this one. I plan to do it in 2 sessions. Once before harvest to clean out all of the stemmed leaves. Anything I can reach at the base of a leaf is gone. After drying, I'll complete the trimming session with basically a manicure and that's it. The lights are staying as they are for a bit longer. I can't really tell if these two are actually done yet or not. I'll do a trichome check tomorrow and post pics. The environment is a nightmare. It's still 60% humidity with the temp being a bit high at 77°. I'd rather it be at 74°, but the humidity gets higher that way. I'll just have to keep opening the tent as I have been for what seems to be the last week. Either way, I will not get mold. Not if I can help it. Now drying in such high humidity is a concern. Very little airflow. Hopefully I can keep the temp in the low 60's in there. I highly doubt it. Grow System Environment: Temp: 74.0° RH: 57.6% VPD: 1.19 kPa May 9, 2024 Some noticable things today. First off, neither plant is taking in as much water as they were. A sign of either nutrient lockout or they don't need as much water because they are finishing up. Finishing up makes the most sense. Banana Purple Punch A was rotated again today to keep the plant from growing mold and keep the lights hitting all the buds from every angle. She's definitely closer to being done than her sister plant is. I'd say about 5 days difference? Maybe slightly less. This is kind of a blessing and kind of a curse. I have 4 other plants in 3 gallon containers that need to go in the tent asap. If I can clear at least 2 of the 4 plants currently in the tent, including this one, I could fit all 4 plants in the tent with the last 2 plants. Then I can harvest those two separately kind of. Banana Purple Punch B has huge buds now. Some are a little bigger than her sister. They seem to have the same amount of bud, just structured differently. This plant has the super compact structure with buds all up and down, but it's only like 19" where the other one is closer to 23" and has more space between buds. But it's a larger plant, so there is the roughly the same amount of bud. At least that's what it looks like. I'm seeing no signs of fading yet. I'm guessing this is one of those strains that waits for the last week or so before showing color. Although, other diaries I've seen show different. The weird thing is that the majority of the other plants I've seen all have purple buds. Mine are still bright green. But they are definitely not ready. So I'm guessing another week and a half. Frankly, I have a lot of trouble timing harvests. I don't know what the plants do or are doing, for example, I've never had a plant finish up based on breeder specs. I've even had an autoflower go well over 15 weeks. Granted it was HUGE (understatement), but it still took over 15 weeks. But then I have strains that finish up in 12 weeks. But I couldn't tell if they were done or not. Disadvantages of not having the proper equipment. This time around I have a microscope, so I can get a really good idea of when to harvest. As for trichome check, I was supposed to do it yesterday. Then I thought maybe today. But then I realized tomorrow is a new week, so I'll take my trichome pics tomorrow. Plus, they clearly aren't ready, so no point in checking yet. The lighting as I said will stay the same for now. These 2 are showing no signs of needing it and are definitely not ready for it to drop. Not for another few days to a week anyway. The environment is kind of calming down. I can keep the day temp down to 74°, but the humidity is still high at 55%. I'll be spending the day opening it up periodically... again. I did manage to get the average night temp down to 66°, so that's something. It messed up my Sour Diesel seedlings in my 2x2 though. The temp in there went all the way down to 62°. I really need to get them in this tent. Grow System Environment: Temp: 72.6° RH: 58.7% VPD: 1.11 kPa

Colorado Cookie didn’t take the nutes as well as her companion, little burnt tips. Everything’s ok, I guess, I wish the CC stops growing as she is approaching “danger zone”, only have a 60x6x120. I guess LTS should have been more then an option.

D92. RH hitting peak conditions 44%. Dehuimifier is working 5hrs a day. Maybe another 15 days to go. Hoping to bring her to whole harvest. This half harvest thing is crap. I just want uniformed bud top-mid-low growth. 7/4/22 Bud is coming on real nicely. I'd say as she is she'll give an oz of frosty as f..k bud. With the addition of the lower led lights I'm hoping she'll finish off. As she's in soil. So half harvest isn't really an option as soil turn around is to long. Once you start a process like a flush you kinda have to follow through with it. So, if there is 10-15% of bud that has no more than 15% of white pistils I'll be happy taking her once I feel she's reached the point where the buds stop expanding and focusing on terps. As she is, she's doing really well, has responded to the hard flush really well. PPM was only 490 so she's still eating. Happy days. Will do the test again next week and if she is at feed ppm level I'll know she's finish eating and I'll throw her into a week or 2 of flawless finish and harvest her. So depending on the flush during the week this might be her last week on nutes. Bout 3 weeks in total left. 2 for the flush and a wk left on nutes. Will keep her dosed on micro enzymes for the rest of wk and 1ml/l during 1st wk of flush. 9/4/22 Finished this girl. Some stigma, (white pistils). Put her on overdrive just for 1 week. She's surprisingly still eating, not much 400ppm only. 1150ppm back, so she's coming to her end, sadly the end, that was full of stigma has kinda finished up, 90% of hairs have turned to Amber. I don't know if this is a good thing, but the sugar leafs are getting so packed down around the larf the sugar leafs have coned in on each other, full of tricks, I mean full of it, trim to keep for sure, all long trichs you can see them even with a scope you can see the top colas are fully cloudy. Few clear ones around the lowest end but they'll cloud up in the dark period. Absolutely stinks of orange zest, the tangerine smell is also coming out, full bodied zesty/crit stinky little bitch. I'd say she'll put out 20-30g dry. I'm really happy with what she's going to give me, I'll for sure am going to be roughly trimming her and letting most of the heavily heavily packed sugar leafs coming out of the bud sites. I'd say around 70% of the bud has finished off. If only last week I'd of taken the tops I could have kicked rhe bottom into feeding and finished her off, as most of that stigma was 90% white. Nearly 70% Amber now probably even 80-90% Amber. Around 20% clear around the end. As you can see in the pics, she's DONE!!!! Flawless Finish her for a week, I only gave her a 800ppm feed of overdrive and cal mag extra about 500ml on top of her weeks feed. I'll hard flush her in 4 days. And give her a week on flawless finish. Then I'm gonna hang dry her in the bathroom RH is 55% 19c temp, will have to take her out in morning for a showers and stuff but it'll be a perfect place. Also the house will be a pleasure to smell for our guests. Not saying its normally not, but the smell is normally burning weed, can't beat the fresh of smelly stinky bud. Going to dry this 1 in the long way....10-14 days hopefully. Shell be given 500ml an hour before harvest to prolong her drying time, increase terps and allow sugars to bring out the true taste of this beauty. Dont mind the rust spots. Its not from any def/tox she is 100% healthy. It was just a case of her getting a mix of overdrive 4 weeks ago when she was on big bud. It caused all these rust spots. I've been taking pics and placing something for scale and have been constantly checking and rechecking leafs and glad to say these are just war wounds from a beginners mistake. 4 weeks ago I was juggling 5 different plants and yeah I messed up and she got a dose of overdrive. 13/4/22 Plant looks very frosty. Stinks of orange zest to me more than tangerines. Has a very sharp citrus snap to her, you know what she is straight away. Something very very fruity, very pungent. Not a secret grow but it that way, nor is the zkittlez if ingcognito is your thing. RH climed into the 50's for the 1st time in 4 days without dehuimifier, thankfully it's not a constant thing to run, fuck me it likes KWH. 1 every 3 hours nearly. That's 10hours of my light on full blast. 100 watt light 10hrs of use =1KWH for those who don't know that. Good to know exactly what you are spending on your grow. Your 1st will always clearly be the most expensive. Like nutes/lights/tents even substrates have more than 1 life. So what it comes down to in the end, is how much a month is it costing your bottom line. If you are like me, and not growing in mammys basement, then watts matter. If you have noticed my PPM was double that nearly for the weeks 1st feed, I also cut out some nutes. I'm still giving high PK I'm just reaching my PPM differently is all. Still in the push during flower. But less, get her hungry to really eat as much as she can, pace her. Thanks for reading! Be sure to drop a like so I can check out your grows! gottagrowsometime

Plants look good, getting super bushy. Still quite hot, cant go full power, also not able to use under canopy because if it. Waiting for colder weather :) Lights running: 55% Added a timelaps, hope you like it. If yes, I will try to make even better ones :)

Esta semana empiezo flush con el full tilt de floraflex. Voy a estirar la cosecha hasta la semana que viene.

I fed the plant with Bio PK for the last time this week. From now on I will just water the plant without adding any nutrients. The buds are starting to swell up and they are getting more frost. The aroma is getting more intense from day to day.

Great gift from my friend! Let’s see how it work!!!

LETS MAKE THIS BUDS FAT

Soooo.... Looks like flowering stretch is over. Buds are forming nicely so far , and they look frosty already😍

Lampe auf 40% = 40w.

Feliz com o resultado, primeira vez utilizando biobizz, gostei do sabor

Wow well she has jumped up!! A week ago I scraped off a couple of inches of the soil/perlite mix and replaced it with brand new compost. My grows for the last few months have been unimpressive to say the least and I've been trying to figure out the problem. I've had a few theories but the one I've settled on is my soil. I think I need to change it much more often than I have been doing previously.

Die 4. Blütewoche hat noch 2 Tage, jedoch hat es mich in den Fingern gejuckt jetzt schon die Bilder zu teilen. Gesund und Munter, schöne Blüten, super Geruch… Bin gespannt was meine Schätzchen in der 5. Blütewoche zeigen werden.

Start of week 4 Fed w nutrients: 7/11/25 Fed with water 7/13/25

Flower fuel seems to be working buds are bulking up and trichomes are looking milky

Girls just doing their thing. Just retired, topped, defoliated, and lollipopped. Flipping 1st/2nd week of June. Gonna be a good run. Hoping for 6-10 zips.

Hola traveller 🐴 Week 7 begins and we have 4 crazy branches total. 2 in purple nuts and 2 in edge. First water change yesterday and seems to like new solution. 6.1ph 1.2ec. Buds start to form so its time to try raise ec for a bit. Still stretching a lot in day. Cant wait to trim it almost naked. Roots look great. Video from yesterday when bubbler was empty. 13.6 Stretching and forming. 1.2ec is max it wants. 6.2ph. Defoliation starts tomorrow. Way too much stuff there. 15.6 defol. Finishing it at monday. 16.6 continued defol. Still let couple leaf for tomorrow to take out. DLI ~38 With high hopes 🍀
