Things are getting frosty around here! Critical Cures are at the top of the class. Critical Mass is in second. Charlotte's Angels are in third. Durga Mata is in fourth, with Blue Shark rounding out the pack as far as blooms are concerned, and how far along they are. This week I used the last of my "Tiger Bloom" and "Big Bloom" and I didn't feel like buying more, so I started making compost tea! It comes from my pile that consists of kitchen scraps, horse, chicken and sheep manure. They seem to be liking it. I also gave them a little nitrogen foliar spray this morning. I've had to spray insecticidal soap twice this week. Smells so fragrant out there, it's attracting a lot of bugs. I sent a pic of one of the Critical Cure's to a friend of mine saying "Not long now!" (As in like 3-4 weeks on this particular plant) to which he replied: "You've still got 6-7 weeks!" No, just no. Same guy also told me my plants would be 8 ft high. Ha! Silly boys.

Week 4 is now Here and running into some issue with bug spray really did a number on my girls. The XL Haze plant bounced back quick, Thank God for good gene. This week I will also raise the light a bit to get the girls to stretch a bit more. This week will also be the first day the girls get a some actual nuts

Finally at harvest and cure! It has been a long wait. But absolutely worth it! I really want to grab some more seeds for this one and run her again. Absolutely fat colas and wonderful smells the whole time. You open the bag and it envelopes a room in seconds. Pure gassy fruit through and through when you smell it and when you smoke it. 10/10 would cultivate again!!

D75 (04/02/2021): Glue Gelato has been in the closet for 24h. Banana Kush is ripening everyday. I might place her in the closet with light ON for one more week when Glue Gelato will be chop and in the tent drying. RH% and temperature are fine in the closet at the moment and it does not smell that strong with Glue Gelato inside. That give me an option to continue Banana Kush for more days in it. - temp in the tent: 22C light ON ; 18-19C light OFF - temp in the closet: 18-19C - water: approx. 3L of tap water for Banana Kush - RH in the tent: 42% light ON ; 45% light OFF - RH in the closet: 42-44% D76 (05/02/2021): Glue Gelato has been in the closet for 48h. I will chop her tonight! I will place Banana Kush in the closet with light ON. She needs at least one more week I guess - temp in the tent: 22C light ON ; 18-19C light OFF - temp in the closet: 18-19C - water: approx. 2L of tap water for Banana Kush - RH in the tent: 40% light ON ; 46% light OFF - RH in the closet: 42-44% D77 (06/02/2021): Banana Kush is in the closet and the environment is good at the moment. - temp in the closet: 18-19C - no water - RH in the closet: 42-44% D78 (07/02/2021): Banana Kush buds are getting fat. When I squeeze them I can tell that they are getting denser. She drink less water which is a sign she's getting closer to the end. - temp in the closet: 18-20C - no water - RH in the closet: 40% D79 (08/02/2021): I gave around 3L of tap water. Trichomes still look cloudy with no amber but I can see more of them and they look bigger. - temp in the closet: 20-21C - water: 3L of tap water - RH in the closet: 35-40% D80 (09/02/2021): She get frostier everyday! It's beautiful to see! She definitely have more trichomes than she had last week when she still was in the tent. The trichomes of Banana Kush are not yet at the same stage where Glue Gelato's trichomes was when I chopped Glue Gelato. I'm glad that I waited and that I did not chop both at the same time. - temp in the closet: 20-21C - no water - RH in the closet: 35-40% D81 (10/02/2021): I gave approximately 3L of tap water. She's a beauty but she's not ready. I said one more week last week... I say the same haha one more week! 😅😏 - temp in the closet: 20-21C - water: tap water, 130 PPM, PH7.0 - RH in the closet: 35-40%

Day 64 - The beginning of week 10 and started off with 2 gallons of plain pH’d water. I think I waited a day later than I should of cause she was pretty droopy and dried out but seems to of recovered. I ended up tying down a couple of the really long branches to keep her even and seems to of evened up the canopy a bit. Day 65 - Did a bit of defoliating on the lower end of her today, mainly to remove some dying leaves. Since I’ve got 3 flowering plants in the tent right now, I don’t think everything is getting the right light coverage so I’ve got another AGLEX “1200W” COB LED that should be here tomorrow so hopefully I’ll have enough light coverage and penetration from here on out. Day 66 - She’ll be ready for another round of water, 2 gallons worth tomorrow, she’s almost dry. Other than that, not much had to be done with her today. As will all the girls in the tent, I’m trying to figure out how to get my temps down. The AC is out in the house and hoping with some cooler temps moving in, it’ll help cool it down. Day 67 - Nothing new today other than she was very dry so she got her 2 gallons of plain pH’d water, next will be a feeding of nutes. Day 68 - No major updates and issues going on right now. Just got some updated pictures and tucked some leaves, also removed a couple of yellow leaves at the bottom. Day 70 - The end of week 10 and she got a feeding of water and nutes today. She’s starting to fill in nicely but still a few weeks away from harvest.

Everything ok, just waiting 1 more week before I top them. The banana krumble is clearly much more compact so I'm starting to think I shouldn't have put 2 different strains but it's too late now.

Last final defoliation done, now buds are fully exposed to the lights and the best part, harvest trim will be easier. Still it took me around 8 h altogether to defoliate all of them. Tones of buds and frost , amazing smells. Won't rush will give it a bit more to swell.

Had some slow flower growth due to under fertilizing and overall not building my soil well enough for such monster plants. Learned alot from my second grow so far! After fixing Feeding problems they are fattening really fast! Think i have around 3-4 weeks left at least. Hope they make it.

So this week after I gave it under nutrients I apparently gave it too much nitrogen while having a potassium deficiency. Shiney dark leaves, So i fixed that, but some didn't bounce back, and I tried nitrogen. I think they are doing pretty good considering everything I've put them through SO FAR. lol. Nutrients are NPK Raw's total lineup, follow their instructions at first, Fastbuds adjustments as of this week.

This was a fun little project with a few ups and downs. Overall it was a success. I managed to get 86 Seeds off of the two plants, this is a smaller number but given that I started the pollination about 2-3 weeks late I am impressed. Top this all off with the fact I was using 10ppm silver solution for the majority of the reversing process and only had 30ppm for about a single week near the end. Moving forward if I plan on reversing anymore plants I will be investing in some STS vs Silver solution. It's easier to use and has stronger results. I also managed to get 25g of bug from the plants as well that I will infuse into some butter. Not to worry these are not the branches that where sprayed with silver and they have been cut off and disposed of in the composter. When I decide to grow these out I'll try and create a new diary and test if the CBD/THC ratios remain intact, if the plants are viable. I have not tested the germination rate on these seeds and for all I know they are duds or will not resemble their back-crossed parents. This is my first seed making project and so much is new and unknown to me. Have had lots of help along the way from some good GD friends. Tried to post lots of photos and products I used. The photos labelled [PREVIOUS HARVEST] where when I first grew this wonderful strain out. It has the same peppery kush smell and crazy deep purples as it first did. I did shock these plants with a heavy feeding that stunted them greatly, I also transplanted them when I should have started them off in their forever pot. This was all explained in the weekly entries when it happened and why. overall the autos are not heavy yielding but more average for an auto and that's ok with me. Its the smells, taste colours and CBD contest that draw me to it. Somethings to note from the diary, most of the liquid nutrients are diving by how much water I gave them, typically 4L. Solid nutrients are divided per litre of medium in the pots or they are the total amounts I added. Just ask if you have Questions.
