Plants seem to have recovered from the stress of topping and transplant and are starting to take off. Lamp is turned all the way up now. I stupidly brought in some non-cannabis plants to chill with them, and they brought in some fungus gnats :( Not an insane infestation, I noticed it quickly, but trying to be proactive. Added a fan for more airflow, mosquito bits, neem spray, etc. GAME ON GNATS :) Upped nutrients from 1/8 tsp/gal to 1/4. Will back off if needed but its still a small amount. Trying to test how they take it. Had to raise the lamp a few inches. The plants are growing and so far 16" distance at 100% has been fine. It is currently 15" but I will raise it again another day to fix it. Rotated the bagseed indica to point in the middle of the net. I "f-ed up" the topping of this bush, it was really a FIM. As if it was not bushy enough!!!!! Added a net, not really for elaborate scrog, just "basic" control of which direction things are growing, especially now that they are growing into each other. Rotated the bagseed up front for better positioning. Clearly I sloppily "F- I missed" topping this one, so i really FIM'd it, kind of at least. 4 growths coming out. Just in case this wasn't already hellaciously bushy!!!!

Week 6 everything was on par with week 5 of flower however, girl #1 has officially pulled away from girl number #2. Girl #1 is 27 Inches tall while girl#2 is 16 inches tall. Toward the end of week 5 girl #1 started flowering and her bud sites are becoming more defined as she progress. I maybe be wrong but it seems like girl #2 maybe is slower and gonna flower in the next 2 weeks hopefully. She definitely is indica dominant with her short bushy stature. But, I thought the indica dominate pheno had fast flowering when compared to the sativa pheno. I did do some more defoliation of the fan leaves on each girl and any leafs blocking the light to increase the budsites potential. also I removed the more undeveloped lowers. Doesn’t looked to have stressed them out with all my defoliation. These ladies smell has increased very much. Everything is still on par with week 5. I’m very grateful to have this opportunity to have all you experienced growers view my diary. Thank you very much and it means the world to me seeing I have any views.

Growing at her own pace. Lights are about 40 inches away. Day 4 I realize that my solo cup has tons of holes in it. This means the roots will grow through the cup and when I went to transplant it'd rip the roots. I pulled the cup up and there were only a 3 or so roots sticking out of 60+ holes. When I went to transplant I fucked up and the soil spilled everywhere and she toppled over and got fucked up. I just picked her up pat her down. She responsed by bouncing back and growing even more. So I fed and watered her in. First feeding week 2 day 4. You can see she bounced back. Fed her right after transplant. Bad idea, she needed two more days. Ah well. She's growing.

I finally got them in the garden! It was a trip getting out there, so they don't look the greatest because they're stressed. I broadforked the bed because I have very hard clay soil and put down Ocean Forest potting soil. I have some wire support hoops for the AG19 row cover I'm going to be using for the transition. It's lightweight and breathable but it will cut down on some of the sun so they don't burn and it will also keep them warmer at night since it's still pretty cool. And please disregard my comment about the Chamomile and Nitrogen... Chamomile sequesters Calcium, Potassium and Sulfur, not Nitrogen😜. Clover sequesters Nitrogen. I added about 5-10% Biochar in with the Fox farm potting soil which is an excellent source of carbon and helps retain soil moisture. I added some lime to stabilize ph and try to deter lockout which I had last year. I also added mycorrhizal inoculant for root health, it helps to reduce stress in plants and helps them to uptake more sugars which is exactly what we want.

Flower Week 1 Day 7 to 13 - 3/25 to 3/31 Simply watching the stretch from this point. Both plants recovered very nicely from Schwazze extreme defoliation and all of the colas/branches are mostly even at top. Feed this week was again an auto pot reservoir feed at 650ppm total before add-ins. I used 325ppm Veg concentrate mix (recipe week 2) and 325ppm Bloom concentrate mix (recipe week 5). However, I also added 1ml/gal of CaliMagic (General Hydroponics 1-0-0) and ph balance this week was for 5.8 where Io plan to maintain it until harvest. Next week nutes will increase in Bloom mix again but also reduce in Veg mix. Feed will be 700ppm before add-ins with 5.8ph before feeding.

The Banana Blaze was a real pleasure to grow, she has a nice indica shape structure, with short internode. She has a lot of sidebranch and all produced big nugs. I performed a HST to create a more even cannopy and a bigger main cola because of a bigger nut transport line.. EC levels never raised EC 1.4 and i had never a problem with feeding her. I did harvest this plant at day 77. This plant had a wonderfull sweet smell, buds are covered with crystals and are sticky as hell.

I cut out the nutrients and let the plant do its thing. I also noticed the plant had been pollinated and was starting to grow seeds, so I cut her at the end of this week, a week early. I left a portion of the plant to seed, but the rest was cut and hung. The branch I left is showing toxicity, proof of the intensity of nutrients this plant needed to survive. I tried to combat this with PH balancer to keep the cola productive and not toxified by the excessive nutrients needed by the rest of the plant that wasn't there. I was successful by prolonging the life closest to winter by building a heat trap, and mulching the ground beside the plant.

NOV 17 (DAY 52): Oooohhhh... I let the plants go too long without watering them. Plant 3 looked so limp and pathetic, I was afraid to touch it. I have got to start setting a reminder to pick the pots up every day to be sure. NOV 18 (DAY 53): Everyone is looking much better now that they have been thoroughly watered. They need to be fed next time I water. NOV 20 (DAY 55): The fan leaves on my comparison plant, which up to now had been light years ahead of the others, are now rapidly yellowing and turning brittle. And Plant 3 is also starting to look lighter yellow green... time for food. I mixed everything as per FF’s feeding schedule (minus the dry ingredients and plus a few other things), adjusted the solution’s pH, and then diluted it to 1500ppm. I’m a little uncertain about what to expect from my comparison plant... so I’m feeding it at least one more time.

May 31, 2024 Harvest day. Finally! Banana Purple Punch A was 22 oz wet trimmed. Day 3 drying Banana Purple Punch B was 20.5 oz wet trimmed. These 2 were a breeze to work with. Even though Banana Purple Punch A got some nutrient burn. She still pulled through with a happy wet weight. I'm guessing based on the size of the buds and how dense they are, we will have a decent weight retention. Maybe 4.5 oz for Banana Purple Punch A and 4 oz for Banana Purple Punch B. I'll say this. The aroma of these ladies was straight banana. And SUPER potent. Nealy overwhelming. I'll update at least the day of drying until they are done. I'm guessing 7 days for each. However, my dry tent is too dry. No clue why. I may have to put a humidifier in the tent. I know you shouldn't do that, but I need the humidity to be above 52%. June 1, 2024 Banana Purple Punch A Day 4 Drying. Banana Purple Punch B Day 1 Drying. Nothing to really discuss today. We are all looking good. Still need to install the humidifier. The temp is pretty good though. At 66°, but still way too dry. I'm concerned for Banana Purple Punch A. I don't need her drying out too quickly. I took a sample from Banana Purple Punch A today. The stem is completely wet, but the buds were definitely nearly dry. No gummy grinder, no grass smell, just some good weed. I'll keep I'll check her tomorrow. I'm assuming she will be done by tomorrow or the next day. Dry Tent Environment: Temp: 67.8° RH: 51.8% VPD: 1.12 kPa June 2, 2024 Banana Purple Punch A Day 5 Drying. The smallest of twiggy branches had a nice snap, but anything bigger isn't quite there yet. I'd say another day in the current environment. 60% humidity and 68° Banana Purple Punch B Day 2 Drying Update: I ended up manicuring and bagging Banana Purple Punch A. The moisture meter read 10.5, so I decided to finish them up. The humidity is super high today as it's raining, so the branches started absorbing water. The buds started as well, but now I have them in a Grove Bag. It's reading 63%, so it'll need a couple days of actual curing. I think it's a bit better to bag with more moisture and burp verses over drying and having to rehydrate the buds. I mean, of course the perfect time would be ideal, but I found that the fluctuation of the environment in my situation, needed to be bagged with even more control. I think I'll leave Banana Purple Punch B in the drying tent for as long as I can. So far the humidity hasn't gone below 58% so if I can keep it there and drop the temp, I can leave her in there for 10 to 14 days. Dry Tent Environment: Temp: 69.4° RH: 58.1% VPD: 1.03 kPa June 3, 2024 Banana Purple Punch A is smelling great! She's showing 64% in the grove bag, but that is probably because it's 68% humidity in my room. Unfortunately, this is the only place in the house I can store and cure my weed. So I have to fight it. I opened the bag and dumped the buds on a trimming tray in the dry tent. Not much happened except the humidity in the dry tent was 66% for the half hour they were in there, so it didn't do much of anything if anything at all. Banana Purple Punch B Day 3 Drying. Nothing else to say, she's drying and it will be SLOW. Very slow with this humidity climbing up above 65%. I'm afraid of mold. I have air circulation and the exhaust is running at about 40% power. So everything should be ok. I've also noticed the carbon filter for the dry tent is starting to lose its effectiveness. There is a slight cannabis smell coming from the outlet. It could just be how strong the aroma is for Banana Purple Punch B, cuz it's strong. That's it for today. I'm not bothering with the environmental readings. It's too warm and too humid. Lol. June 4, 2024 The humidity spiked yet again. Smh. I have the exhaust fan at half power now to keep the air flowing. Hopefully that prevents mold in this what looks to be a long dry. It'll be hot today, so the central air should kick on around noon. But for now the humidity is around 66%. Entirely way too high. The temp, however, is alright at 68°. I'd much rather the temp be below 65°, but I just can't get it down. I'm really hoping my hydrometer just needs to be calibrated or something. Reason being it's a dark tent with a fan going. The room temp is 69° and the humidity is 67%. One would think the temp would be much lower than 68° and the humidity should be higher in the tent. Alas, I have no idea how to fix this. I left the tent door open for a little bit to try and air out the tent, but there shouldn't be any old air issues. It's a 4 inch inline fan. No problems with suction in a 2x2. I'll keep fighting it until the A/C comes on. If anyone has any ideas, please leave a comment. I'd love a bit of guidance not only for this run, but future runs as well. Banana Purple Punch B Day 4 Drying. I'll note the current weight tomorrow. It makes sense as that would be midway through the drying time. I'm willing to bet she lost half her weight by now, if not more. June 5, 2024 Banana Purple Punch B Day 5 Drying. Day 5 Dry weight: 6.0 oz. That's a 71% loss so far. However, I'm guessing she won't lose much more weight. I ended up doing a snap test on some twigs and they are about 2 to 3 days out. Maybe 4 of the humidity doesn't let up. Speaking of humidity, it dropped down fairly low after the A/C kicked on. It was down for the majority of the evening and a few hours through the night. Unfortunately, it didn't last and is now back up to 63%. It's not too bad, but I'd rather the humidity be around 58% for this plant. Dense buds and all. But I'll take the higher humidity if it means a better dry. I don't think 63% is any good though, so I'll still try to keep it below 62%. Dry Tent Environment: Temp: 70.8° RH: 58.0% VPD: 1.08 kPa June 6, 2024 Banana Purple Punch B day 6 drying. It's humid. Like really $#@&ing humid. The dry tent is suffering horribly. It's 69% in there and there's nothing I can do about it. I can't seem to get the humidity to drop at all. I might put a dehumidifier in there to dry out out some, but then the temp will increase and that's already at 70°. That's too high on its own. All that being said, this will put major stress on the plant while it dries. And if I have learned anything, cannabis is like a sponge for water. So it's back to being wet now. I think it will be another 4 to 5 days. Which is about what I was planning on the first place, but that was with the correct environment. Not this horse shit. I should weigh it. It was 6 oz yesterday, so I wonder what it will be like today with all this humidity. 6.5 oz? Wouldn't that be insane? Dry Tent Environment: Temp: 70.1° RH: 59.3% VPD: 1.03 kPa June 7, 2024 Banana Purple Punch B Day 7 Drying The environment is still a little wonky. The humidity is just over 62% and the temp is just under 70°. Not ideal, but within range. Barely. I have a lot of airflow even though it's a dry tent. I need the airflow to keep mold spores from getting all over the plant. Banana Purple Punch A smells great. The Grove Bag is still sitting at 63%, but I plan on dumping the bag out later today. I want to air them out for a half hour or so. Dry System Environment: Temp: 68.5° RH: 60.3% VPD: 0.95 kPa June 8, 2024 Banana Purple Punch B Day 8 Drying. She needs another couple of days I think. No snap yet. The environment is starting to even out... For now. It's supposed to rain this evening, so the humidity and wetness will return. However, for now it's looking pretty good. The temp is still at 70°, but the humidity is at 61%. So that's good. Not the temp, but the humidity. Dry Tent Environment: Temp: 69.3° RH: 59.5% VPD: 0.99 kPa June 9, 2024 Banana Purple Punch B Day 9 Drying. I got a single snap from a small twig today. Unfortunately the rest of the branches are still bendy. But it tells me she only has a day or 2 left. She smells amazing. The sharp plant smell is finally gone and now it's just pure Banana Purple Punch. Sweet and pungent. And lots of Banana smell. The environment has stayed pretty consistent over the past few days. Hovering around 60% with a temp of 70°. I know the temp is a bit high, but it's the best I can do. Even when I bring the temp in my room down to 65° the dry tent only goes down to 68°. Dry System Environment: Temp: 69.4° RH: 58.9% VPD: 1.01 kPa June 10, 2024 Banana Purple Punch B Day 10 Drying. Still bendy branches. But getting very close. Sometime, within the next two days, she will be ready. It could be tonight, or in 2 days. At this point it's so slow I think I could push to 14 days. I most likely won't be doing that though. I need to either put a different plant in this tent or take it down for more space in my room. I'm pretty sure the environment is looking pretty good. The temp in my room is lower today and the humidity dropped a little bit. So we are definitely below 62% and the temp should be around 60%. My hydrometer shut off and I need to restart it. I'll update with real numbers later when I fix it. Update: The temp is at 68° and the humidity is at 58%. So looking good. I also took a small sample. No real snap, but the little twig snapped at the base of the side branch. Still... Not quite there yet. The grind is pretty good, but the bud doesn't stay lit as it should. So she's not ready. But the bud smells and tastes amazing. Curing will only make it better. June 11, 2024 Banana Purple Punch B Day 11 Drying. Yet another day of drying. I seriously cannot wait to sample this plant. She smells amazing. The buds look great. I've noticed that the branches don't seem to be hardening off. And if they are, I can't tell. It just feels the same as yesterday. Which felt the same as the day before. Or I'm just not paying enough attention. Either way, I'm still waiting for a snap of any kind. It could be later today or tomorrow. At this point I'm just guessing. Eventually I'll get the time down and know how long it will take in the future. Update: So I checked the small twigs and a couple bud sites. I found that the small twigs would snap at different angles and some not at all. Same with the bud sites. However, while checking one of the bud sites, a part of the bud popped off. Like it was getting brittle. I don't know what that means, but I'm bagging this plant today. The cure will bring out the extra moisture, if there even is any, over time. I'll wait a couple hours and see how she looks, but she is getting bagged at some point today. June 12, 2024 Both plants are curing at 60%. Perfect. Just wanted to mention that. I'll come back in a few months to update. You know, after the curing process is complete and we are just in the storage phase.

Just winding down. Gonna go lights off for a day or two now at week 10. Tangerine dream are close to done and grape ape are throwing bananas for past week so it’s time.
