GHSC Contest | Paradise City

BipolarHellas Hello everyone, 🇬🇷 this is my diary for the GHSC Contest...package received on 21st April...I will be growing Banana Crumble in this diary...It's a cross between Banana Punch and OG Kush, from Green House Seeds... I wish everyone Good Luck!!!!!Let's Do It. WEEK 1:"COME OUT AND PLAY" ☠️Day 0...seeds are placed in a bowl with wet paper towels,on a heat mat... ...after 48 hours... they need more time... ☠️Day 000..after 56 hours 3 were ready to be planted,the other two seeds need more time...I planted them in coco coir.My earth is called "Coco Humus", it's a Greek product and it consists of coir, perlite and organic matter...I covered them with baggies for extra humidity...They are now under a 50 W Led light...Fingers crossed... ☠️Day 1...24/04/20...the babies have popped their first tiny leaves...their cotyledons are different than usual,they are a bit longer...the are under a 50W Led inside a cupboard..I have removed the baggies...they are still fragile and small ☠️Day 4...the babies are growing very slowly but they are OK ☠️Day 6...so they are growing very slowly...they have just popped their second pair of true leaves but they are still tiny...Our journey has begun... See u all next week...

BipolarHellas Hello everyone, 🇬🇷 so,the first week passed,I have 3 seedlings which are very small but growing slowly and steadily...I expected more growth but I can't do anything so I just wait... WEEK 2: "ENGINES STARTED..." ☠️Day 7...the second set of leaves has popped out...The contest didn't start well for me with such slow growth...but what can i say... I like it,its part of the journey... ☠️Day 10...my little ones are growing still very slowly...I can see their third set of true leaves...had to go down on water because they showed some signs of overwatering...I water every 3 days now...just misting the soil ☠️Day 12...💧I watered with GHF Enhancer, 1 g/L...it's got a lot of goodies in there...the only thing I had to do is drop the ph of the water to 5,cause the Enhancer has a pretty high ph of 9,3... ☠️Day 13...they are growing their 3rd and 4th set of leaves...I top fed them with GHF BioGrow and I have placed them under a 50W Led... ☠️Day 14...my babies are doing just fine,no signs of a negative reaction to something...some of the new growth is a bit strange in shape,but it will be fixed in time...the week is over,the engines are on and here we go...see u next week and thanx for watching

BipolarHellas Hello there, 🇬🇷 so the previous week was good with slow but steady growth...the girls were fed with Bio Grow from GHF and some of the Enhancer...they are under a 50W Led,safe and sound,until transplant when they will be moved outdoors... WEEK 3 : "RUN IF YOU CAN" ☠️Day 15...they are forming the 5th set of leaves...strange thing,when I get them out of their cupboard they tend to stretch their leaves upwards...when I put them back they are back to normal...I think it has to do with humidity...thinking of transplanting soon as I can see the roots on 2 of the 3...I started preparing the pots,I put Bio Grow from GHF and the babies will be transplanted there in a few days...just waiting for the weather to be stable as they will go outdoors... ☠️Day 16...💧watering time for my babies...they seem to be very well...awaiting for that transplant...today I was thinking about what to do with the girls in terms of training...what I have decided is that I will perform different techniques for each one of them...one will be left to grow naturally like a Christmas tree...the second will be topped and the third will be LSTed...it is a good chance to compare the final weight of each technique...what stresses me a bit is that these girls will go outdoors during the day and under low wattage Leds during the night...I am used to using an HPS lighting and I don't know if the sun here from my spot will be enough...moreover summer is coming...here in Greece the temps will go above 35° C in July...I guess I have work to do and solutions to find... ☠️Day 17...💧📥transplant is here...the girls were put in their final homes, pots of 15 L,and were watered with plain water...I used "Coco Humus" which is coco coir fiber mixed with 20 % manure and organic matter...Its ph is 6,0 - 6,8...I also added Bio Grow, 45 gr for 15 L substrate, and the same quantity of Bio Bloom, both from Green House Feeding... I was a bit confused if I should place the Bio Bloom now,but I decided to do so as these are their final containers...they are 100% organic so I am not worried about any kind of burn... they are now inside under low wattage Leds so that they will slowly get used to their new environment...I may give them some sun in the afternoon...their roots had reached the bottoms of the solo cups,so it was a good time for transplanting...hope they will take it good...I don't like calling them with numbers so I will give them names...We have Angie,Michelle and Lucy...Girls say hello to everyone... ☠️Day 18...its cloudy outside...the girls will stay inside under their low lighted shelter...maybe I will take them outside for a couple of hours just to get some fresh air...transplant was OK for them,no signs of shock or something...they are a bit small but from now on they will have the mighty Sun with them outside...I hope they will boost...Run if you can babies... 💀💀💀...today they survived a massive attack from my son...he probably wanted his toys back from the pots...🤣🤣🤣Anyway,Michelle is a bit hurt on her stem..not something very serious but I have to keep an eye on her... ☠️Day 19...💧summer is here...with temps at 32°C the girls are outside sunbathing...🌞I uploaded a short video showing them off... I watered each one with 500 ml of pure water (ph 6,9)... ☠️Day 20...it's too hot down here...the girls are enjoying the sun but I have a feeling I will have a problem with the temps outside...it's too early too be that hot...32-35 °C... ☠️Day 21....💧last day of the week...the girls are doing fine...I would like them a bit bigger but I think they will catch up...Today I used 6,0 ph water for the first time...usually I don't adjust it,straight from the tap...after a lot of research I decided to give them water at this ph as it is better for coco.I hope the will like it.. So,I hope u enjoyed this week like I did...see u next week..stay tuned...

BipolarHellas Hello world, 🇬🇷 the previous week was good,the girls are growing and they were finally transplanted...everything seems OK,I would prefer them to be a bit bigger but they need their time...what I have changed the previous week was the ph of the water...I now adjust it to 6,0...since there's no playing around with nutes I have to play with something... WEEK 4: "WHERE THE GRASS IS GREEN AND THE GIRLS ARE PRETTY..." ☠️Day 22...💧they need to be watered daily,500 ml each time,as the sun dries their soil out...no need for nutes...Just add water and off you go!!!Today it's gonna be hot...37°C...I will have to keep them inside under the Leds cause 37°C is just too high for them...hope the temps drop the following days...I can't keep them inside cause the Leds are just 50W ...way too weak for my girls......I really miss my tent and my HPS...my wife doesn't want it around so now I have to compromise with the sun and the Chinese Leds...🤣 ☠️Day 23...Angie is a bit behind the others...Michelle and Lucy have gained height...generally I would like them to be bigger at this point...we shall see...the weather today is hotter and the temps will reach 40°C... ☠️Day 25...Michelle and Lucy have streched...that's probably because the 3 last days they are inside under low light, due to the heat wave outside...will be training these two shortly...Lucy will be topped and LSTed while Michelle just LSTed...Lucy's tooping will have to wait a bit... I bent over Michelle's stem,at the beginning a little,but shortly after, I was more aggressive to her...she will be fine tomorrow... ☠️Day 26...Michelle has taken LST well and her leaves have already turned up towards the light...the side growth is beginning to turn upwards as well...the other two girls are doing fine... Today I topped Lucy at the 6th node...new side shoots are tiny but I am expecting them to grow vigorously since there is now main stem...I will do some LST to her as well but later on... ☠️Day 27...the temps are back to normal, 25-28°C...the girls are outside and will stay there...I used Enhancer today at ph 6,3,but only on Michelle as I am kind of afraid of it...When I first got it I used it on 2 other plants and burnt them...So I am waiting to see how Michelle will react and then use it on the other girls too... ☠️Day 28...last day of the week,the girls are fine...Michelle took Enhancer well,no signs of whatever,so I will give it to the other two as well...the weather is crazy...it's a bit cold and windy now... So everyone in the community,thank u for watching,see u next week!!☠️

BipolarHellas Hello world, 🇬🇷 the previous week was training week for Michelle,who was LSTed and for Lucy who was topped...the girls are fine and growing...they also got fed with the Enhancer,which scares me a bit,but everything went well... WEEK 5:"MAGIC PEOPLE,VOODOO PEOPLE" ☠️Day 29...out in the sun with normal temps and no wind...watered with ph 6,4,about 500 ml...I have changed my water pattern with these girls...I used to water every 3 days with 1,5 L but now I do it daily with less water...What I need now is light...I grow with the sun and the last days haven't been too sunny here...now the weather is changing again...come on Sun,give me some light!Meanwhile when it's sunny it's too windy,so windy that I have to put them inside as they will be seriously damaged... ☠️Day 30...I think instead of topping I may have fimmed Lucy...not sure as I have never done fimming before...Now I inderstand why they call it like that...in my case: Fuck,did I miss???🤣🤣🤣...we"ll see...however new shoots are growing well... ☠️Day 31...as I was watching my girls with pride and love,the sunlight revealed hundreds of tiny white bugs jumping on the soil..I mean they are hundreds...I sprayed with vinegar just the top layer of the soil and waiting to see... I made a grow question and I got a very interesting advice from a fellow grower...I sprayed with cinnamon extract...hope it will help... Today I applied LST to Lucy as she is getting very tall and lunky...she's been topped,LSTed and she will be topped again when time comes... ☠️Day 32...windy and rainy outdoors...the girls are inside...Today I adjusted Michelle's LST... ☠️Day 33...the weather is fucked up...one week ago we had 40°C and today it's cold and rainy...summer is not here yet....I realized I Fimmed Lucy instead of topping her as new growth came up on the cut stem...I cut it off again as I can't experiment now,I have never Fimmed before and don't know what to expect... ☠️Day 34...no sunlight for the girls...its very cloudy and may rain again...meanwhile the bugs are vanished...cinnamon and vinegar did their job... ☠️Day 35...finally we have some sun and the girls are outside...they have stayed a bit behind all those days inside without proper light... the week is ending,thank u all for watching..see u next week ☠️

BipolarHellas Hello everyone, 🇬🇷 ...the previous week had a lot of growth and training... Angie has her natural shape, Lucy's been topped and LSTed and Michelle was LSTed...they are growing fast despite the low wattage Leds that they are under as the weather outside is cloudy and will be for days...they don't get any nutes, they have everything they need in their home...this is going to be a long grow,as mother nature will decide when these girls will go to flower... ====================================== WEEK 6:"FIRST AND LAST AND ALWAYS" ☠️Day 36...💧it's sunny and the girls are enjoying it...I watered them today,I changed again the watering pattern...now I give them 1,5 L every 3 days,depending on how dry the substrate is...Today I toped Lucy again on the two new main colas... ☠️Day 38...sunny again and the girls love it...Angie has become a beast,tall and bushy,while the other two are growing side shoots after the LST...I am impressed by GH Feeding... ☠️Day 39...💧watering day...What bothers me is that I will not be on time for the contest...I am growing outdoors and the girls will start flowering on late summer...harvest time will be on October,wee too late for the contest...I have to find a way to force flower them earlier...the problem is I have no dark room for that...its a challenge and I have to find a solution... ☠️Day 40...the girls are stretching more...they need light... ☠️Day 41...the weather here is crazy...sunny in the morning,raining in the afternoon...the girls take about 5-6 hours of direct sunlight... 🌚I decided that from today I will be placing Michelle and Lucy in a dark closet to force them flower.I hope it will work...I will put them inside it at 20:00 and get them out to the sun at 09:00 the next morning...13 hours of darkness will be enough for them to start flowering...Let's see how this goes...It's the only free space I have to do this as I cannot use my tent.There is no light leak in the closet...Angie is too tall to get in there so she will be flowering when nature calls... ☠️Day 42...💧watering day...first day of 11/13 for Lucy and Michelle...the closet they are in is small so I am a bit worried for air circulation...in the morning they seemed fine however... This week is over,thank u all for watching...see u next week friends☠️

BipolarHellas Hello world, 🇬🇷 The previous week had a lot of growth and stretching...Angie is almost 50 cm while the other two girls have stretched their side shoots...Two days ago Lucy and Michelle started to stay in the dark for 13 hours...I put them inside a closet during the night...Angie is too tall for the closet so she will just stay outside and follow nature's schedule... ===================================== WEEK 7:"BIPOLAR DISORDER" ☠️Day 43...when I took them out of the closet their leaves were a bit clawing...I think because of temperature and humidity...anyway after a few hours in the sun they came back to normal..I have to LST Lucy more as her shoots are getting taller every day... The new growth in all girls is a bit yellowish, so I am thinking of top dressing them with some Bio Grow from GHF... ☠️Day 44...Lucy is too tall for the closet...I will just have Michelle to flower in there...her LST is keeping her short enough to stretch and flower in the small kitchen closet..finally the weather is sunny and warm here,summer has come...I top dressed them with Bio Grow,as from the colour of the new growth I can tell they need Nitrogen...From tonight on Angie and Lucy will be sleeping outdoors,no more Leds during the night...they will be there until their end... ☠️Day 45...💧first night on the balcony...everything is OK...Michelle is under 12/12 and waiting for those first pistils to show up...I watered today...they seem to be thirsty more often as the temps outside rise...I give them 2 L instead of 1,5 L... ☠️Day 46...Angie has reached 55 cm...Michelle has started showing sex and Lucy is just growing... ☠️Day 47...Angie is becoming a beast...I love her natural shape...Michelle on the other hand has not shown any flowers yet...I hope there is no light leak in the closet she is spending 12 hours...probably needs her time... ☠️Day 48...Michelle shows tiny pistils...I am not sure yet though if they are flower pistils or sex ones...Angie has reached 65 cm...their soil gets dry fast due to the otdoor temps which are at 32°-34° C... ☠️Day 49..💧had to water again...this time I gave them 3 L each...with less than that there is no runoff... I think I see pistils on Michelle,real ones...it's kind of windy and I have to be careful with them...I have a safe spot but its not sunny throughout the day,so I am moving them around... Another week is over,we head on to the 8th...thank you all for watching,stay safe and happy growing☠️

BipolarHellas Hello world, 🇬🇷 the previous week had a lot of growth for the ladies...meanwhile Michelle has been switched to 12/12...the switch was made 9 days ago and she is showing her first pistils...this diary however will follow Angie and Lucy who are growing outdoors and will be in vegetative stage for a lot more weeks...So, let's begin this new week... ===================================== WEEK 8:"DON'T FEAR THE NIGHT" ☠️Day 50...I stand and stare at Michelle trying to see those tiny first pistils...It is still windy so I have to move them around all day...I have a safe spot but its not sunny...Angie and Lucy are OK,still getting taller...this week I will be using Enhancer again as well...I have a small fear every time I use it because of the ph issue...what I have to admit is that Green House Feeding until now has been perfect...I have been giving only water and some top dressing of it and I don't have any deficiencies till now...the plants are vigorous with a very healthy green colour... ☠️Day 51💧today I watered with 3 L each...they drink like beasts...I top dressed Michelle with Bio Bloom from GHF...eat my girl,eat...I have already put Bio Bloom when transplanted but a little more will not harm her... ☠️Day 53...💧I thought giving them 3 L of water would keep the coco wet for long,but they drink like beasts...had to water again today... ☠️Day 54...Michelle is having a tough time for 12 hours in the closet...I can feel the heat and the CO2 when opening it in the morning...however she looks fine and flowering... ☠️Day 55...💧watered again...the outdoor girs will not be on time for the contest and that makes me nervous...I hope they extend the deadline for all of us who grow outdoors...and those who got the seeds late...please GHSC...give us some time😄 🌸🌸Today Michelle is completing the second week since the light flip...she is growing pistils everywhere and I love watching her... Day 56...Michelle has reached 77 cm in height and Lucy is 70...they will become beasts... Another week has passed,thanx for watching,happy growing and be safe...☠️

Day 63...the week is over...I have Lucy and Angie who are like beasts on the balcony and Michelle who is in flowering...thanx for watching see u next week...☠️

BipolarHellas Hello World, 🇬🇷 the previous week was pretty good regarding growth on all plants...the weather had been a bit strange but this did not affect my girls...Michelle is in the fourth week of flowering but this diary will be following the outdoor girls, who have reached 1 m in height...they are like beasts on the balcony...have a nice week...☠️ ====================================== WEEK 10:"BLACK PLANET" ☠️Day 65...💧it's too windy,I already lost another plant,an Amnesia Auto who got crashed by another pot because of the wind...my girls are doing fine,I watered them today with 3 L of pure water ph 6,3...Michelle has sone weird signs one one lower leaf,it's like cal deficiency...but it's only one leaf so I will pass it by... ☠️Day 66...Michelle has more destroyed leaves...I don't know what it is...I will add some bio bloom and see...looks more like cal issue...the other two girls are doing super...the wind has slowed down so they are sunbathing,taking it cool... ☠️Day 67...💧watering day...the temps have risen to 35°C...the girls are thirsty and hot...I removed some of Michelle's damaged leaves...I will wait and see if this spreads...it might be because of the small closet she spends her dark hours...no air circulation and too warm... ☠️Day 68...Michelle is very sick...the rust on her leaves have spreaded to almost all the plant...I think it's cal defeciency combined with high temps,37°C today...the other two girls have no problem so I am wondering what I can do with the sick girl...Can I give her cal mag or is it against the rules????? ☠️Day 70.. Michelle is dead,...she is like fried, rusty and ......dead......The damage has been done in a few days only..probably couldn't stand the heat wave and was lacking calcium...anyway,we go on we the other two girls...they seem fine...we will see... Thanx for watching,see u next week...☠️

BipolarHellas Hello world, 🇬🇷 the previous week was a small disaster...Michelle, the girl who was in flower for 5 weeks is dead...just like that...it begun as rust on the leaves,like a cal deficiency and in 3 days it spread everywhere...the temps were too high for her,35°-38° C...Damn it's too hot for the plants...the other two girls are struggling with the heat but they seem to be OK,although they have some strange spots on some leaves...have to top dress with Bio Grow this week... the truth is I am a bit worried about them because that kind of temps can kill them...so I go on with them...have a nice week...☠️ ====================================== WEEK11:"SAD BAT TRUE" ☠️Day 74.. Lucy has burnt leaves because of the heat wave...Angie is fine...today the temps have dropped at 31° c... ☠️Day 75...💧watering day, 3 L each, ph at 6,3...next time I will top dress with Bio Grow again...I think they need nitrogen... ☠️Day 76...Lucy has still new growth coming out despite the big number of leaves burnt...Angie looks healthy... ☠️Day 77...this week has passed...it's been a bad week for all,me and the plants...sorry for the few photos...so,see u next week...☠️
