I welcome you from Russia my friends from different parts of the world. The end of 16 weeks has come. Plants already fully show their ripeness, and buds SAG from their weight. Soon I will be harvesting, as soon as I get the final dry product I will make the last update of this diary.

So today’s the day I did my first weed harvest. Never thought I could feel such emotions over a plant but I’ve spent a lot of time with her over the last few months. Hopefully I’ve done her proud. I planned on doing a dry trim so I took off all the bigger fan leaves to start. I noticed a lot of the fan leaves had some trichs around the base so I kept these. I don’t know if you would class them as sugar leaves but I am going to try and make some tea from them. In my drying cabinet the average rh% is about 75 so I’m running a small dehumidifier which is bringing it down to about 65% which I think is a bit above the ideal. It’s been hot today and temp in cabinet is around 25 degrees C but due to be cooler from tomorrow. Anyway I’m off for a cup of tea, I will update with effects and dry weights over the next few days. Update** So eddy 2 has been drying for 8 days, and she’s now trimmed and in jars. To be honest I found her a pain in the ass to trim there was a lot of long spindly buds (I would say airy) so the trim pile is pretty big with a mix of sugar leaves and airy buds. It’s not a problem as I’m definitely going to make some edibles so it’s all good for that. I’m still really pleased with the amount I got off of her and if her sister produces the same I will be over the moon! Eddy 2 weights (harvest day 82) Wet - 623g Dry Buds - bang on 100g Dry trim - 51g Eddy 1 weights (harvested day 97) Wet - 496g Smoke Report; Full disclosure I haven’t smoked weed for 20 years and even when I did it was only now and again at parties. I also don’t smoke. I’ve had anxiety and depression since I was a kid and I’ve been on all sorts of pills to try and help it. After doing some research on CBD and THC I thought I would give it a go! I’m also looking to cut down my alcohol intake and I’m really hoping this is a new way to relax and get that buzz on a Friday/Saturday night. I don’t want to smoke it so I’m going to get a dry herb vape I’m just waiting for it to be delivered. So here goes: The tea was a bust! Well unless you like lemony butter water. I don’t think there was anywhere near enough of the good stuff as I didn’t feel a thing. Still no vape so I bought a cheap bong. FML I think I coughed up a lung 😂😂 definitely got a buzz but I couldn’t enjoy it as my fucking throat was on fire for hours! STILL no vape so I made one. And that’s more like it. Tasty cool vapour and a nice relaxing buzz after. I didn’t have too much (about 3 hits) as I know I’m a lightweight. For the first 30 minutes or so I was light headed and happy (like after your first couple beers after a long day). Then I felt my body physically relaxing and I just chilled on the sofa for a couple hours watching tv. I went straight to sleep when I got to bed (which never happens) and I had a great nights sleep. Only downside was a headache in the morning but could put that down to many things and it was gone after a coffee

[DAY 64] - 3/8/2022 - Lamp 40 cm from the center of the canopy (20 cm from the top) and 100% dimmer (144 watt); - TEMP. 30°/31° - RH 40-50%; - EC 1.7 - PH 6; started with EC 1.7 and after 24 hours EC is 1.95; - 73 cm height; - LST on 4 branches to open the canopy; - Removed some damaged leaves; - Added new PH down: CANNA PH DOWN BLOOM (instead PH DOWN by GHE). I prefer GHE, it seemed more effective; - Let's see what happen this week, I want to see big flower by the end of this week; next one I'll add Bloombastic again; - A lot of leaves with yellowed tips, I hope it is not suffering excessively the temperatures. [DAY 65] - 4/8/2022 - Lamp 40 cm from the center of the canopy (20 cm from the top) and 100% dimmer (144 watt); - TEMP. 30°/31° - RH 50%; - EC 2 - PH 6; tomorrow I add lighter solution to keep EC to 1.7; - In the last couple days I noticed plant drank less than usual, the half. I guess it was very stressed due defoliation, but seems to be recovering well. - Today I did bit defoliation and in the coming days I let the plant rests, then we'll see if another defoliation is still needed. I don't want to exaggerate. [DAY 66] - 5/8/2022 - Lamp 40 cm from the center of the canopy (20 cm from the top) and 100% dimmer (144 watt); - TEMP. 31°/32° - RH 60%; - EC 1.7- PH 6; tomorrow I add lighter solution to keep EC to 1.6; - Did a growquestion about some brown spots on some leaves: https://growdiaries.com/grow-questions/49286-brown-spots-on-some-leaves. [DAY 67] - 6/8/2022 - Lamp as yesterday; - TEMP. 31°/32° - RH 60%; - Plant is having problems. It is drinking little and I believe it drinks very few nutrients. For this reason I did a DWC change and added a lighter solution (EC 1). Despite this, the EC is continuing to rise. I hope it recovers soon! If tomorrow it continues to rise, I try to further dilute the solution. - Added a new better quality video. [DAY 68] - 7/8/2022 - Lamp as usual; - Temp. 31°/32° - RH 60%; - EC still rising, that's the reason why I added 2 l. demineralized water to bring EC to 1.1; - Solution in DWC at the moment has this composition: Silicate 0.25 g/l - Calmag: 0.25 ml/l - A: 0.8 ml/l - B: 1.6 ml/l up to EC 0.94 - Bloom stim. 0.5 ml/l and Bloombastic up to EC 1.05. [DAY 69] - 8/8/2022 - Lamp as usual; - Temp. 32° - RH 50%; - EC 1.2, almost blocked all day long. Added 2 l. dem. water to lower EC a little bit; - I guess plant is drinking about 2 l. of solution / day, good! [DAY 70] - 9/8/2022 - Lamp as usual, I'm planning to lower it near the tallest bud (from 20 cm to 15 cm) to reach better the lower bud sites - Temp. 30° - RH 50%; - Last day of this week, some problems last days.

The Blackberry Moonrocks have a really solid structure, they're looking super healthy. They're nice and big, but it does seem like they could be stretching a bit more. We might need to adjust the lighting or the nutrients to encourage them to grow taller. Well, another year has come and gone. Yesterday was New Year's Eve, and I want to wish all of you a happy and healthy 2025. May this year bring you all the things you've been wishing for. Let's make this the best year yet!

omg, another week has passed...... :) Day 100 - and then there was 11 Buds ....... lol Switched over to normal water on both ... smaller has been on water 1+ weeks ..... Endoscope arrives this week i hope..... harvested afew buds to fit it all in the tent and setup lights properly... trimmed em, wired em abit to support the weight of the buds.... I'll see how the endoscope results show, as to harvest...... i think growth slowed abit over last week or 2, because of poor light setup, not enough room in tent, and other grow 6400k led.... got a new tent on the way... 😎 Day 101 - Pics - edoscope, usb arrived... it's very good, but hard to stabalize / focus, i'll have to work out how to use it better...... the pics i posted were of a younger bud from the bottom..... i'm happy with the cloudy with amber, and harvesting.... 😎 Day 103 - vid of all trimmed and drying out upside down in tent. Day 105 - pics vids of drying and into curing.... i'll list all the test buds and buds i trimmed in the final harvest report.....😎

Performed final lollipopping of the inside and lower plant areas. Growth has slowed and flowering is more pronounced. The puffball stage has arrived. Top dressed with Gaia Green 70% flower and 30% grow. Almost zero bug damage, which is shocking.

Hi all 🧑‍🌾 Welcome to my 🍌💜👊 week update. Hope everyone keeping well and having a good week. Thank you so much for your support on this bananas journey 💜💚💜💚 I am so happy to see how girls are developing in recent days. It's seems that Athena finally stopped her stretch and hoping that Xena will follow her sister very soon. Buds are gaining weight and size rapidly. Lots of nice colours and tonnes of trichomes on those buds already. Week 10 Dec 18-24 Dec 18-19 Mainly observation. Xena is still stretching like crazy. both girls are developing beautifully. Dec 20 First watering for this week. 7.5 ltr beetwen both. Runoffs PH's Athena 6.2 Xena 6.3. Dec 21 Due to lack of light at lower parts of conopy decided for another selective defoliation, lowered a bit tallest branches with colas dangerously close to light by tieing them to netting. Couple cm will make a huge difference here. Could not clear well at the back wall of the cabinet due to limited access.I'm very happy with final result. Dec 22-23 Joyful observation of my 🍌💜👊girls development 🧑‍🌾 Dec 24 All is looking great. It's seems that stretch is finally stopped. Girls looking healthy and happy. Second watering for this week. 8 ltr beetwen both. Both runoffs PH 6.2. It's the end of this week. Happy Xmas everyone 🤶🎄❄️🎁☃️✌️💚🌲🎅🎄 Stay tuned for new week update ✨🍀✨✌️💚

Start of week 4, roots coming out of pot so have transplanted on day 22 into final pot. Plant is pushing out node five at the moment. Update week 4 day 2: A couple of days ago I dropped the PH to 5.8 from 6.3 and have added in Acti-Vera, a different Seaweed Extract fortified with Iron, and starting today Rhino Skin silica. Just look at the difference in the colouration of this plant in under 48 hours... wow. Update week 4 day 2: I think I've managed to overwater. Not going to water today. Update week 4 day 4. She is showing the same pattern as KKA 2 days ahead. After repot she is stretching out her main fan leaves, stem is thickening, and new growth appears everywhere. Day 25.5 flushed with 30l of PH lowered water then fertigated with 5l. Day 26: Height: 9cm Width: 18cm Nodes: 6 I have named her Bertha Day 27: H9.5 W19.5 N7 Day 28: Fertigated 2.5l @ 15:00 . Day 28: Photo and Measure 00:40 H13cm W21cm N7 Weekly growth data: From 6cm Height to 13cm +117% From 9cm Width to 21cm +133% From 4 primary nodes to 7 +75% Summary: Really good week for Bertha, she hasn't grown at quite the same rate as Karen, but she's not a million miles behind, I think she will have a big week 5. Day 28.5: I have changed my mind about training and done a little gentle LST. Why? Well I realised I would have trouble with light levels and the younger plants... so I've decided to try and keep the older two from stretching too tall. I realise this will mess up height measurements but it'll even out.

Fin de la semana siete y soló veo un proceso hermoso, lleno de gratificación, sin hojas quemadas ni exceso de nutrientes, todo se ha dado en las dosis justas de cada componente, los nutrientes orgánicos funcionan de maravilla. Creó que las palabras están demás después del registro gráfico. Saludos a todos! Don Pato. ___________________________________________ End of week seven and alone I see a beautiful process, full of gratification, without burnt leaves or excess nutrients, everything has been given in the right doses of each component, organic nutrients work great. He thought the words are there after the graphic record. Big Hugs ! Don Pato.

I've topped this beautiful girl 16 times, now I'm going to take some time off from the stress to get out, then I'm going to put on the scrOG net and switch the light cycle to 12/12, she feels great💚🌋

Growing like crazy; a lot of upcoming LST to get her ready for flower tent. Did a bit of defoliation this week, all the lowest leaves of plant to clear up some space - plan to top the soil when switching to flower. Moving to flower in 2 weeks, once banana kush is harvested. Photos/video taken 63 days after breaking soil.

Gave my girls a trim got all those half eaten leaves with spidermites then made a mixture of soap eucalyptus , and teatree essential oils and gave them a bath in it. (Sprayed em down with a spray bottle) seems to have worled so far gonna make a few more times and spray my ladies down a few more times so as to kill the bugs when the eggs hatch.the are starting to look better and hopefully they thrive.

Okay day 51 a flower day 105 total.. since last week I have stopped giving her nutrients and just filtered pH water with no runoff so she can eat off of whatever is in the soil for a week or so and then I'm going to start flushing.. the buns are swelling getting heavy as you can see I have her tied to the tent and she is super close to the light I'm worried about light bleaching was so far she's been handling it fairly well.. I'm super excited for this one thank you again to SEEDSMAN for making this grow possible.. awesome genetics.. hope all is well and until next week or if any new updates come along the way I will post accordingly.. happy growing everyone ✌️. 8/31 today is day 57 a flower 111 from seed and she's about done.. I gave her a good flush yesterday I'm going to wait until the medium is fully dry which will be tomorrow morning then it's chop day!.. the terps on this are amazing she has been a pleasure from start to finish probably my favorite plant so far that I've grown and that's no lie.. Seedsman huge shout out to you much appreciated for your contribution for this grow to be possible.. if you guys are looking for a good medicinal strain this is one of the higher percentage of 1 to 1 I have come across... I'm super excited to make edibles for night time out of the trim.. this is going to be that laid back and watch a movie and your body just goes numb kind of flower or that's my assumption anyhow.. anyway much love to everybody at stop by to show love hit the like button and show support it's been appreciated.. after this I'm finishing up my auto Kabul then I'm cleaning out the tent and and switching my grow method from synthetic saw base to grow dots and recharge.. the plants might be smaller but that means I could fit another one in that'll make up for it.. hope all is well and happy growing ✌️😎💯😤💪

Esta semana el cambio en los cogollos es mas que visible. Se han bañado en resina y estan cogiendo colores morados tanto en las hojas como en el propio fruto la mayoria. Al subirles el co2 a 1100 ppm estan consumindo mas agua y generando mas humedad e tenido que enchufar el deshumidificafor al maximo para mantener la humedad entre el 40 y el 50 por ciento. El olor es impresionante para faltarle 1 mes por delante mas o menos... los tonos a naranja acida son claros... como si fueran orange sherbert 🤷‍♂️ pero desde luego no me quejo porque es muy pero que muy notorio. La temperatura la mantendre entre 26 y 27 gradosasta las dos ultimas semana de lavado de raices que la bajare a 24 grados para que compacten los cogollos. Y la EC la mantendre a 1.8 una semana mas y las fos ultimas semanas de aporte seran a 1.9 y 2.0 respectivamente.

Hi Growmies, My apologies for the delayed update, but work life balance got a bit out of wack recently. Anyways, water was changed on time and general maintenance took place. Continued with very light defoliation to really guarantee that all the shoots get equal light exposure. She is turning out to be a real beauty and literally no Scr.O.G was necessary due to her natural structure. Buds are already forming very compact and dense to touch, something that’s always a good sign ;) Since this is my first proper DWC grow I am actually quite impressed by the root growth and the resulting nutrient uptake, as well as vigor in plant growth. Is it btw just me or is this website getting slower, buggier and laggier by the day? Videos won’t upload, weeks don’t reflect, diaries won’t update….
