LST tied main stem to further promote side branch growth. Filling in very nice side branches. Pistils on all side branches. Started flowering feed of Incredible Bulk Organic Bloom Booster (0.1-10-25) and Humboldt's Secret Sweet and Sticky additive. Will continue once weekly for three weeks then water only until last week before harvest.

22 December 2020 Both of these ladies are almost ready for harvest, not really much to update. Next week I will remove the scrog and and start flushing these ladies ladies for a week.

Harvested at day 76, after 72h of darkness. Very good yield! 3.3 pounds of dry buds + 1 pound of trim The 2 keepers yielded 366 and 342g of premium quality smoke. Very uplifting and energizing high :) Love it!

Day 13- Got water today at 6.5 PH, will get fed again Monday!

I feel like I’m off the rails entering week 10! I’m definitely on trichome watch for Rachel. Chandler still has a few weeks more. But I noticed a significant decline in leaf health in Rachel particularly. I have several suspects: My low ph problems are coming to bite me big time. I did have some poor watering practices week before last as well (I was sick and they went thirsty too long). I just hope I can careen this and stick a somewhat decent landing, come on weed gods, be the wind in my sails! Haha

almost almost !

I had a lot of fun with this strain and it was grown against 400 growers so let me say PHENO hunting is a true thing. Overall the Bud was a nice dense structure and the smoke on it was smooth and the high nice and even.

Today 7/30/19, day 57 and the start of week 9. I'm still continuing to alternate between days with my pesticide treatment (especially after finding that bug living on one of hulkberries fan leaf) and thrive alive green daily foliage spray as a prophylactic solution against any possible pests or mold going into these last few dog days of veg. I will flush them with distilled ph'd water for two days this weekend in preparation for flower. Then I'll start them on some "flower fuel" bloom booster on top of my secret for success flower recipe at 1/4 of the recommended strength. Outside of that still no adverse issue to report for the end of the 8th week. After my last trim, they both have responded very nicely, I was kind of worried about fat banana stalled growth. But one thing I noticed when I topped her at the 6th node, yes the main stem stopped growing but it developed many bud sites up and down every stem. Whereas hulkberry was topped at the 8th node, she has mainly focused on developing long stems and only 2 or 3 bud sites along her stems. Even though hulkberry in structure, is much bigger than fat banana and has a way bigger root system. Fat banana is bushier and has developed way more bud sites than hulkberry. I can't tell which strain will yield the most at this point only time will tell! Also, a big shout out to "J"@RQS, thank you for the excellent customer service. Another reason why Royal Queen Seeds is top 3 in breeding!!

Von 12 cuts die ich an meiner 12 Wochen alten Ak47 gemacht habe sind 7 durchgekommen gut verwurzelt und bereit in ein grossen Topf zu kommen. Finde die Genetik einfach klasse und wollte sie mir bewahren es ist das erste mal das ich mit clonen ein grow mache, hoffe klappt alles gut.

05/21/24. Going into week 3 flower Things are going pretty good with these girls health and happiness wise. As for Betsy I’m honestly not thrilled with her be the trellis. I don’t think it’s really worked well for her and most of her growth hasn’t even made it to the trellis. Tree has really amazed me. The turn around she’s had is crazy. From a terribly structured, goofy, no branch having weirdo, to a decent looking little plant. I’m glad I didn’t toss her when she was little and I take back saying she wasn’t worth putting into the tent. She’s small, but strong, and the branch I broke has done fine in healing and is growing a bud so yay. :) Haven’t fed as I’ve still seen no reason to.. and somehow still see what seems like a bit too much N, which with no feeding..I’m still not understanding. Just been giving water with silica and calmag as of now. Still have these girls containers up on wood to keep them near the same as the rest of the canopy as possible. Lights at about 75% and 22 inches up. Temperature 73-82. Humidity about 50% I’m not sure what I’ll do as for under trellis cleanup here. B has most of her self under the trellis, so if I removed everything under I think she’d have like 3-4 branches LOL. Tree seems pretty chillen. I don’t think much even needs to be done. Guess I’ll figure something out. That’s about it for now. Thanks for lookin

One week after the DE cover up and the gnats dropped considerably. The plants were topped and kept growing without any stress. Still watering on bare minimum.

***Video Added March 14th*** March 13, 2019 Update: We’re getting to the end of the road here. DinaMed and all three Cherry’s were cut down on Saturday and hanging. The Critical+ and Cream & Cheese CBD are flushing with straight water and will be cut down this weekend. I’ll be taking samples of the DinaMed and Cherry to the local dispensary for potency testing this weekend. Pics were taken both with lights on and lights off. I used a flash when the lights were off. The first round of pics are with the HPS off and the flash on, the second round is with the HPS on and the flash off. I probably won't update this diary again until I have the test results back and final dry weights for all plants - 10 days or so. 🙏 p.s. I'm starting a couple new diaries next, check em out! 👍

5 weeks of flower complete and its still a jungle in there despite the heavy defoliation. Too early to tell, but this defo may be a great tool, or it could be a flop. An article shared with me by BeanswithPork via JohnnyRonco says that what I am doing is idiotic. We shall see. Ive been called worse. Having fun, gonna be a massive harvest Article for those interested: https://www.cocoforcannabis.com/community/photons_corner/to-defoliate-or-not-to-defoliate/ SBG will love it

We are at 21 days from these girls breaking the surface and they are making progress. I noticed at the beginning of the week that they were a little overdosed on nitrogen so I added 2 gallons of tap water to the reservoir and adjusted the ph to 6. They are still looking a little heavy on N but their growth rate is going great so I think it should balance out by the end of next week. I dont plan on doing a water change until I flower them. I left the plants alone most of the week. Tied most of them down to spread them out and defoliated a few lower leaves on day 20. The branches on most of these plants are thick and solid already. They don't budge easily. Bananasicle is looking pretty funky with uneven branch and node growth but we are just going to push forward. Still pumping nutrients and beaming light 24 hours a day. I'm thinking day 28 we will switch them to flower and see if any of these ladies can bring some❄️🔥💨

Bienvenidos a la semana #4 Día #25 (05/06) Salir al exterior ha vuelto sedientas a todas las plantas (también hay mucha evaporación por la parte superior del substrato) Se riega con 250 ml de agua con Bio-Grow, Bio-Bloom y Top Max de Biobizz, ya que todas las plantas han empezado la prefloración Día #26 (06/06) Las Orion F1 no están reaccionando bien al LST. El crecimiento está estancado. No se si he empezado demasiado pronto o esta strain no lo tolera bien. Decido deshacerlo y dejarlas crecer libremente Tal vez retomarlo más tarde cuando empiecen a crecer las ramas laterales... Decido añadir 2 cm de substrato "nuevo" en cada maceta porque el nivel ha bajado demasiado. Entiendo que esto también ayudará a la estabilidad ☺️ Dia #27 (07/06) Todas las plantas han tenido que volver al interior por la inestabilidad meteorológica Crystal Candy XL Auto está creciendo como un cohete! Hay que ajustar el LST todos los días. Ya empieza a parecer una araña! Me encanta cuando veo estas configuraciones en los LST de los diarios y lo estoy consiguiendo 😁 Royal Bluematic también está creciendo muy rápido Northern Lights está algo más lenta. Espero que despegue cuando llegue al stretch Las Orion F1 han reaccionado bien al LST deshecho 😂 Día #29 (09/06) Hace un día soleado y las plantas vuelven al exterior 😋 Ha hecho un día muy cálido y todas las plantas están "secas" Se riegan todas con 250 ml de agua con ph ajustado excepto Northern Lights, que al estar en maceta de tela y más grande (15 litros), se riega con 500 ml de agua ph ajustada El riego siempre alterno sólo agua ph ajustado y agua con es con Bio-Grow, Bio-Bloom y Top Max de Biobizz y ajuste de pH Crystal Candy XL Auto y Royal Bluematic siguen creciendo rápido. Muy rápido en comparación con Orion F1 y Northern Lights que van más lentas... Día #30 (10/06) Hoy ha habido una sorpresa muy especial Crystal Candy XL Auto se está volviendo morada / púrpura! 😍 Al principio pensé que lo había visto mal, porque no he visto ningún diario en que esta strain se vuelva púrpura, pero la mía lo está haciendo! 😁 Estoy muy contento porque siempre he querido cultivar una variedad morada! 😁 Además, ha entrado oficialmente en la etapa de floracion Royal Bluematic sigue creciendo rápido y adaptandose estupendamente al LST Orion F1 parece que está cogiendo algo de velocidad Northern Lights sigue su crecimiento lento. A ver si se acelera! Día #31 (11/06) Esta ha sido la última semana de vegetativo. A ver si las que van más lentas aumentan el tamaño con el stretch! Esto es todo por esta semana Gracias por leerme!

She seems to be doing well. Her buds get fatter and more smelly each day. Weather turned a bit cooler. Temps in the day are mid 70s to mid 60s. Nights are in the high 40s mid to upper 50s. So nights would be cold for her. Plus she was getting severe mornings dew. So I bring her in the the garage at night. The temperature in the garage is 70. So she is going to have a warmer night than day. This goes against nature. For some reason I think she will like it. Today I took off all of her LST ropes. My thinking is, she may see the tension as weight. Probably should have taken them off sooner. Bruce Banner strain is a 9 or 10 week flower strain. So I figure she is about half way through flower. Day 100. She has a lot of lower leaves yellowing and falling off. The yellow is starting to move up the branches. This plant is almost all tops. Most coloas are top and 2 nodes under it. There are a few that have 4 or 5 nodes under the top, but they get the light for it. This strain requires a lot of food. This I read from a lot of reviews on the strain. I should have read up the Bruce Banner strain much earlier. Although I think I did a great job with her, considering this was my first serious grow. I did some gorilla growing in my younger days. However I had no idea what I was doing. I use to plant them, give them some water. Then in a few weeks top them and check on them every few days to few weeks. If they were lucky they got some Miracle-Gro. There was not a lot of information on how to grow. I was harvesting way too early. 9/23 1 gallon of water PH 6.2. It's not as hot, so I don't think she needs 2 gallons everyday anymore. Day 100 9/24 Fed 4 tablespoons Foxfarm Big Bloom, 12 ml Foxfarm Tiger Bloom, half a teaspoon Foxfarm Beasti Bloom, 2 tablespoons of Foxfarm Kelp me Kelp you, per 2 gallons of 6.4 PH water. Day 101 9/25 Cloudy day, no need for food or water. Day 102 9/27 Sunny. Made a tea worm castings, poop, some powder baby food and black strap molasses. Also 24 MLs Foxfarm Tiger Bloom, per two gallons. Day 103. Day 103 I see her first orange hairs, just a few. She smells great. She is making some beautiful buds. Very exciting time, she is getting close. She is a short plant, if she were in the ground, she would be about 3 feet tall. She is about 3 and 1/2 feet wide. I had her tied down most of her life. My goal was to keep her as short as I could. I prefer the neighbors not see her. This grow was by design, I wanted her to have as many tops as possible. I bent her branches and did not let them grow straight up. Not sure if I would get more or less if i let the plant grow up. She sure is going to give me many top buds. Either way Im going to have very nice buds. So if there is a weight difference in growing styles I have no way of knowing, until this plant finishes and I grow another style. The weight does not really matter. This will be more bud than I need, for a while.

Me costó adaptarme a la cantidad de agua que necesitaba, prácticamente 1.5 litros todos los días. Temperatura 23-25 centígrados, HR 45%. Me pueden contactar por ig @federicocabreraf , por si quieren saber mas detalles o algún comentario que me quieran hacer, paz.
