They completed third week of flowering. They still stretched 10-15 cm this week even though I dialed in level 9 on my light. Dripz and Grape Soda x Star Killer simply enjoys high intensity and can easily handle 900-1000 uMol range which I am experiencing first time. Humidity is still fluctuating between 52-55%. Temp is decrease to 24 Celsius in average which dropped the VPD to ~1.30 which is not ideal. I might consider moving dehumidifier into the grow tent and remove humidifier for the rainy next week. They received a big Lollipoping and Defoliation last night Day 21 but I may have to redefoliate Blueberry Muffin as it is still very bushy.

Growing well, so far. The added silica shows its effect - the stem is absolutely massive and solid, don't think LST is an option. I want to do either Topping or FIMing, but am not sure yet, which one. The decision will be shown in the pictures that I'll add, once the procedure is done. UPDATE: I decided to top Banana Kush Auto, as seen in the added photos and video.

All looking good, was looking like there was gonna be a few mutants but they seem to have sorted themselves out. Topped most of them now at day 22, will start spreading them out a bit this week and start training them up

Die Mädels legen richtig los und machen endlich weiter mit Höhenwachstum. Die Töpfe sind seit ca 10 Tagen durchwurzelt. 2L Wasser reichen Max 5 Tage meist eher 3-4Tage. 1x wöchentlich 7ml/L düngen funktioniert meistens sehr gut. Die neue europäische Dünger Serie von Advanced Nutrients ist super!

08/30/2021 - Noticing more gnats than usual. Could be overwatering, anaerobic soil conditions, or both. - Going to set up fly traps, starve both the plant and the gnats of water for about a week. - Will observe any stress responses due to an extended dry period.

Welcome to the diary of the Limited edition strain: Orange skunk ryder OMG, this DANK has started to finish it smell like i have at least 50 of them in flowering, but when you follow your nose you only find this little lowryder crossbreed. it looks great, trichomes look very tiny like grown under LED, but it's outdoor i'm leaving this outside for some extra days and then i'll start to cut the main cola, which isn't really big, but smells o so promising. this plant is very stealthy, and it needs to be stealthy because it's that stinky.

🌸 Week 5 Flower – RollerCoaster Haze 🌸 The RollerCoaster Haze girls are thriving in mid-flower, building structure and stacking buds at an incredible pace. Both phenos are stretching into the canopy with strength, white pistils everywhere, and flower sites developing beautifully. The plants are balanced, vibrant, and showing no signs of stress, just healthy, determined growth. 💧 Nutrition & Feeding This week we’ve adjusted the recipe, stopping the All-in-One Liquid completely as the soil and pellets still provide plenty of slow-release nutrition. The focus now is on a lean, targeted bloom feed, keeping the roots active without oversaturating. Current recipe (all at 1ml/L): • Aptus Regulator • Aptus CalMag Boost • Plagron Green Sensation • Plagron Sugar Royal • Plagron Power Buds Solution runs steady at pH 6.0–6.1 with EC balanced to complement the soil’s reserves. The results speak for themselves: stalks, roots, and leaves are thriving, and the flowers are coming on strong. Environment • Soil Temp: ~24°C • Room Temp: ~28–29°C • Humidity: ~65% • VPD: ~1.3–1.4 kPa Airflow, extraction, and monitoring keep the conditions stable. Despite the size of these girls, they’re handling the environment perfectly. 💡 Inner Canopy Lighting – ICL300 This week I want to highlight the role of the ICL300 inner canopy lights. These lights are designed to deliver light where traditional overhead fixtures can’t: deep inside the canopy. Why does this matter? • As plants stretch and leaves overlap, the lower branches and bud sites often receive far less light. Without supplemental lighting, these inner flowers stay smaller, less dense, and less developed. • Inner canopy lights like the ICL300 solve this by pushing photons directly into those shaded areas, ensuring the lower and middle buds get the energy they need to bulk up. Spectrum: The ICL300 units provide a balanced white spectrum with a red push, tailored to maximize flowering response while avoiding heat stress. This means not only are the tops getting stacked, the inner and lower flowers are also swelling, making for a more even, consistent harvest. The difference is visible already: the RollerCoaster Haze girls aren’t just top-heavy. The mid-canopy sites are developing beautifully, with structure filling out in layers instead of just one dominant top. 🌼 Pistils: White Hairs Everywhere At Week 5, pistils (the fine white hairs that emerge from each calyx) are one of the clearest signs of flower development. They serve two major purposes: • Reproduction: pistils are part of the female flower’s reproductive system, designed to catch pollen if it’s present. • Growth indicator: the color, abundance, and orientation of pistils give us a direct look into the maturity of the flower. Some genetics push out bright white pistils, while others lean slightly toward cream, yellowish, or even orange tones earlier in bloom. This variation is completely normal and tied to the plant’s lineage. At this stage, the RollerCoaster Haze girls are full of vigorous white pistils, standing tall and reaching outwards. This shows they are actively building flowers and pushing energy into new calyx formation. It’s also a reminder that this week is about observation: watching how the pistils evolve will tell us not only about maturity, but also about how each pheno expresses itself. Later on, pistils will darken and curl inward as the calyxes swell, but right now, their abundance and brightness are a clear signal of healthy, strong flowering. 🌱 Observations • Bud sites are stacking with strong pistil production. • Inner canopy looks healthy and productive thanks to the ICL300. • Plants remain lush, green, and full of energy. • Root systems are still vigorous, visible at the soil surface. ✨ Reflection Week 5 Flower shows how balance in nutrition, environment, and lighting can work together to create truly explosive growth. By dialing in the recipe, highlighting pistil development, and introducing inner canopy lighting, we’re not only supporting the tops but ensuring that every bud site gets its chance to shine. The RollerCoaster ride continues, and these girls are carrying us higher every week. 📲 Don’t forget to Subscribe and follow me on Instagram and YouTube @DogDoctorOfficial for exclusive content, real-time updates, and behind-the-scenes magic.

This strain was an absolute pleasure to grow, amazing dense buds, stunning terps on the nose 👃 really sweet and cookie like, very resistant to pests and weather fluctuations, I will definitely be running this strain again, I harvested with more amber 5han usual it was about 40 % amber 60 cloudy as I want a heavier more indica like effect, I will keep you updated on the dry weight and smoke review guys, sorry I haven't made the last few weeks update, I'm away for work for a few weeks and having someone look after my plants for me 🙌, thankyou fastbuds for the chance to grow these amazing genetics I will get more pictures uploaded asap

Beginning of week.. No more Floralicious Plus.. It just makes the water very nasty. She is drinking like fucking crazy. She keeps drying out pretty quickly so I've been leaving some water in the runoff cup for her to have some extra on days Im not gonna be aroun till lights out.. We will see how that goes.. The leaves are still slowly yellowing.. I guess rOoTbOuNd is the issue?? Maybe?.. for once lol.. I understand tho cuz it is just a 9oz cup.. But she will make it! Got some slight red colors coming through on the tips of some top leaves (see last pic in Beginning of week) and the tips of a very few top calyxes.. Last time this plant was pretty colorful.. Hoping to get even more out of her this time around.. So I'm chilling the water.. Not just in the PM but every watering will be chilled. AM and PM.. About 35°F, I believe.. My PPM/EC/Temp meter doesnt show the correct temp.. Everything reads 50°F.. But it does great reading the TDS.. So it's still a keeper in my eyes lol. Mid week.. The bottom set were pretty yellow and were easy to just tug off.. So I did.. Colas are starting to swell.. Under my 60x loupe, it seems like damnnear all the trichomes are cloudy.. Not many amber just yet.. And I'm not checking the leaves.. I'm checking trichomes on the calyxes.. Like you're supposed to lol.. Alot of people dont seem to realize that.. They see some amber trichomes on a leaf and think its time to harvest when you still got 2, 3.. Maybe even 4 more weeks to go lol.. Just what I've seen alot of.. But I know I'm on the right track.. She is pretty healthy for the most part.. Her clone is getting thick asf too! Lol.. Just 3 little nugs hahah.. I only water/feed it with runoff from her morher that has been a little watered down.. So far shes happy and loving life as well.. Not a bad strain for buy 10 get 10 free.. I wanna see how the White Widow Photoperiod turns out.. May throw one in under the 320H when I get all that set up.. Just waiting for this girl to finish for the most part.. Then I can get started on that. End of week.. Lookin gorgeous asf! Calyxes are turning a little red toward the very tops of the colas.. Leaves are slightly doing the same.. Still some slow yellowing.. But the buds are super happy and healthy.. Still waiting of more pistils to turn.. But she is starting to swell nicely.. I love these girls... Lol.. On to the next...

Purple starting to come through on plant 2! At what point do you start your 2 week flush? (if you do). First grow and kind of anxious about doing it too soon or too late.

Not sure why the other seeds didn’t germinate. One of the other Bananacane’s started to but died off upon sprouting
