Day 43 : Watering with co2 tab / 5L. Also added food again because i think they need it. Increased ppm to 850. Maybe the next one will be pure water. Ventilation works all the time when lights are on. Temp and humi are stable and this is good for the girls. Although she is indica, she still grows. 9 cm in 3 days. So i guess this is the reason her buds are a bit behind. Patience is the key always. Also removed some burned leaves from all ladies. Edit (Day 47) : Watering with co2 tab every 5L. I watered with juices again at 850ppm because i felt that they need it. Only WC drank pure water because of burns. She grow 13cm in 4 days. An indica pheno stretches like she is in preflowering stage. And this i think is happening. At start she took a lot of air and maybe she felt cold. So, now she started again to develop. I make a prediction that her buds will be really fat. She is very healthy and responses absolute perfect to the nutrient schedule.

Sorry for the late weekly update. Took a quick family trip. 2 out of the 3 have been chopped and this one i was giving a couple more days before it's finished. The color and smell is wild on this strain. Almost a reddish purple in color. All in all Happy Growing.

***** Week 12 growth - February 20 to 26, 2021 - Week 3 Flower ***** This girl has been happy all week and praying hard.....she’s just a shorter girl😂 However, she had a god growth week and her top cola is reaching up tall and proud! Another sign that she just needed more Veg time for consistency across the canopy is all. She was fed some fulvic acid on Monday to encourage stretch through Gold Storm at 5ml/L🤞 Her tricombs have come on strong as well at the end of the week. Her buds are not that large yet but she seems to feel to almost be 5 or 7 days behind the other girls??? She was stripped of a number of leaves, a couple of lower branches and bud sites this week. She has some good internode spacing and it’s allowing some more light down lower. Thinking she is going to be more of nugs rather than colas? Here leaves are up hard so hard that the increase in light intensity at the end of the week will only benefit this girl given her distance from the light. Light is at 20” and pulling 480 watts at the end of the week. Stated off with 400 watts at the start of the week but keep pushing it up this week. I don’t want to break 1,000 to 1,100 PAR by very much as I am not supplementing with true CO2. I have an Exhale bag to raise it a couple hundred ppm. Feel the need to keep the intensity high for penetration lower in the canopy. Will lower the amount of time in daylight if stress gets too high. Push to 11/13???? Nutrients are following IPP HOG 3 Part pretty closely. Just playing with macro nutrient ratios but otherwise supplements are at full week dosages following week 3. Have been seeing great resin production last runs so staying with Rezin as part of their feed schedule in flower. Terpinator......I think I see a lot of sulfer benefit here so it stays in the grows as well. Recharge seems to be working out well but we did the change mid grow from Microbial Mass. Since in coco have to feed the microbes so they reproduce and really dig Nature’s Candy with Remos additives in there👍 To help keep the root zone clean we add Enzymes😃 I have been debating a lot lately about the addition of CalMag to these nutrient lines and it’s necessity but since in coco I keep adding some......noticed a couple of spots on MM2 so have added it back in a bit more this week. Little more detail....... Feb 20/21 - Day 15 - Full feed today.....it’s been five days. - tap water with Silica @ 1.5ml, IPP line at full strength. - 1400ppm and 6.1pH - This girl was given some fulvic acid in Gold Storm. Help with giving her a chance to reach higher. - 5ml/L added to feed for 1490ppm and 6.1pH - help her grow taller. Feb 21/21 - Day16 - Dry out day Feb 22/21 - Day 17 - watering with supplements and light feed today. We are in mid flower now.....need to keep the macro nutrients up. - Epsom salts @ 1 Tbsp in 20L. Purple on stems is getting prominent......could be cold temps but also giving magnesium. - Terpinator @ 3ml, Rezin @ 1.5ml, Nature’s Candy @ 1ml, grow @ 1ml, micro @ 2ml, bloom @ 2.5ml, Recharge @ 1 Tbsp in 20L. - 1400ppm and 6.0pH. - 4L Feb 23/21 - Day 18 - keeping up the silica this watering - silica @ 1ml, CalMag @ 1ml, Ultimate B+ @ 1ml - 600ppm and 6.0pH - 3L Little to no runoff this watering. Feb 24/21 - Day 19 - full feed again today.....girls are big and growing hard......keep it going💪 - IPP line as listed for full line. - Terpinator @ 3ml, Rezin @ 1.5ml - 1425ppm and 6.0pH - they are taking the high ppm feeding well. Feb 25/21 - Day 20 - Had some feed water left from yesterday. Added plain tap water to get 20L. - 810ppm and 6.1pH - 1.5L......don’t want to over saturate the medium. Feb 26/21 - Day 21 - Nothing today. - Will feed early tomorrow as it’s Saturday. - Let the root zone get some oxygen is my thought and water to nice runoff first thing in morning. Week 3 behind us and going into 4.....middle of flower and girls are feeding hard. Pushing the lights hard now as well so need to keep the ppm up👍 Looking good ETS....she has reached up there and doing very well😎

Hello, Grow Diaries family! 🎉🍌 I’m beyond excited to share the harvest report for my incredible Red Banana Pudding! This journey has been nothing short of amazing, and I can’t wait to dive into the details. Let’s get into it! 🚀 🌿 The Harvest After a wonderful flowering period, it’s time to celebrate the fruits of our labor. The Red Banana Pudding has reached its peak, and I’m thrilled with the results! 🌈🍑 Visuals: The buds have developed beautifully, showcasing an array of stunning colors and a perfect density. The aroma is incredibly sweet and fruity, promising a delightful smoke. 😍 🌟 Harvesting Process • Timing: Harvested at the perfect moment to ensure maximum flavor and potency. The trichomes were checked and showed an ideal mix of cloudy and amber for peak effects. ⏳✨ • Technique: I followed a meticulous process, ensuring each branch was trimmed with care. The process was smooth, and the final product is a testament to the love and effort put into this grow. ✂️💪 Fun Fact: Did you know that Red Banana Pudding is renowned for its unique banana-like flavor with a hint of creaminess? It’s a true treat for the taste buds! 🍌🍰 🌿 Post-Harvest • Curing: After trimming, the buds were carefully hung to dry in a controlled environment, maintaining optimal humidity and temperature. The curing process will enhance the flavor and potency, making for a truly exceptional smoke. 🌬️💨 • Batches: The buds are being sorted into batches to ensure even curing and to preserve the quality of each nugget. The anticipation is building as we wait for this next phase! 🎉 Pro Tip: Proper curing can significantly impact the final taste and smoothness of your buds. Make sure to store them in airtight jars and burp them regularly! 🍁 🌱 Looking Ahead The Red Banana Pudding has set the bar high, and I’m excited to see how it turns out after curing. This has been an incredible experience, and I’m grateful for the support and engagement from the Grow Diaries community! 💚 Sneak Peek: Stay tuned for upcoming content, including taste tests and smoke reports! You won’t want to miss out. 😉👀 🎥 Catch the Full Journey For a detailed look at the entire grow process, including the harvest, be sure to check out my YouTube channel, where I share in-depth updates and tips. Dive into the full experience and see how it all came together! 🌟🎥 Thank you for following along with this amazing journey.

Día 45. Ya empezaron a enraizar los esquejes. Agregué 2 al sistema y mañana ya agrego los otros 2. Después habrá que espersr una o dos semanas a que alcancen una altura que iguale a la madre y de ahí a flora. La planta se me hizo demasiado grande esperando a los esquejes. De hecho para la próxima, voy a tener que revisar el tema de la configuración a usar. Porque esto es dasiado grande y se pierde el espíritu real de lo que es el indoor. La idea original eran 10 esquejes. La madre solía ir a tierra a florar en otro lado. Pero pensé en aprovecharla y a fin de cuentas termina siendo casi lo mismo que poner la planta sin esquejes. Así que voy a ver bien que configuración usar en la próxima y estimar mejor los tiempos. Entre tanto, solamente espero poder estar pasando a floración lo antes posible. Sino esto se va a complicar mucho con el espacio disponible.

day 15 (december 19) start of week 3 roots everywhere plant starts to take of now, the hydro is slightly bigger then the soil plant day 17: the hydro plant made a new set of leaves in just 2 days! day 19: i cut off the lowest leaves of both plants. i do this because on any autoflower these leaves produce a stem that wastes a lot of energy on small nugs. day 20: hydro plant got topped (3nodes) day 21: soil plant got topped (3nodes) same strategy with the topping, i do this early (i could pinch them off with my fingers) to reduce the time to recover. the plants bounce back like they didnt feel it and with the lowest leaf and small tiny stems cut off, these plants will produce 6 main stems with nice big and dense buds instead of a huge christmass tree with more leaves than bud.

Another week down, progressing, just starting to show some orange'ing up on the hairs. Stressed it a little with a bit of a crack in the main stem w/ some LST that wasn't so L but it seems to be superficial enough.

The ladies have rebounded very nicely. They are filling in the scrog nicely. Did a lot of tucking and bending of tops and leaves this week. The stretch during flower for these ladies is real. Even with the bending and tucking, the girls have easily gained 4 inches this week as well as quite a bit of girth as they bushes out. Temps have been good and RH has been steady between 55-60%. I have good airflow all around and don’t worry too much about it he higher RH at this point in the grow. I’m e seen some incredible phenos of this strain, and can’t wait to see what I’ll get! Happy Gardening Growmie’s 🇨🇦👊❤️

Pleasure to grow. Low maintenance in super soil setup in 5 gal cloth pot. Stayed small and compact but frosted up early and heavily. No deficiencies, steady growth, no training needed. Even minimal LST (which I did not do), would surely increase yield but I was more focused on quality and letting it do its thing. Genetically, it was determined to grow a perfect little canopy while not taking up much space, about as low maintenance as you can get on a plant imo. Running autos is still a limited thing for me, I like the idea of having keeper clones of photos as this is all for personal medical use, but this plant was fun to grow, true to form and stable as heck. I have a few seeds left and I’ll definitely save them for an outdoor run down the line

Hi, thank your for visiting my diary, more info on my setup, soil and situation in: Germination... So been doin the whole Sherlock thing with the magnifier and nope.... no trichomes amber yet.... My magnifier is just not strong enough and apparently my eyesight is bollocks or my arms are too short... On the images ( I also have onset parkinsons as it seems, thus I used a tripod and low and behold: a stillshot) the trichomes are visible. Now I have the problem that I have to go for a week in a week. Im not leaving all on (mainly no control over smell and some distrust in my own handywork compiling these lights) when Im gone. So these ladies have to hurry up now. The other problem is the cure... I have no way to monitor temps and RH when Im away so Im gonna have to find a sitter for my babies or just cut them preprime or they magically make amber overnight.... I hoped, since they were racing to the finish, that I would be in time.... So maybe we pack an extra tent for our vacation... My growtent... I have been flushing for two weeks, still the leaves and plants are vigorous and lively. Some yellowing pointy bits but too minimal.... Temsp outdoor have been higher but stable, temps in the tent never over 26.8 degrees. Humidity has been dropping last days which I hoped for. Anyone any experience with building a climate chamber for curing? Or any on the market that will do? Please check my Zambeza 3 seed give away by guessing my final result! Check the previous week and growquestion for details!!! I would love it if more people would partake. Thank you all for the love since I started posting here, you all are a great inspiration and support and keep me want to make better reviews of the week and get better results! Love you!! As an update: I took some tiny larf of a couple of days ago and totally forgot about it. Today out of weed, I found the dried remains in the jar I put it in and left it. No temp, no cue, no rh anything. So I get it out of the jar to find it smelling like weed, not even hay or grass but pungeant stinky weed. I start to crumble and find it is sticky, solid, and crumbles to nice bits that crumble even further. I light up and an amazing sweet and citrussy smell comes free, it is superstrong, although still more high obviously, and supertasty, without any cure. This promises even more for the rest of the bunch. This was some underside sad yellowish larf,not any density to it but smoked ten times better than my local, round the corner dispensary weed that I smoked later that day. Even Sunshine (my partner) was amazed with difference in smell. Update 24th july: I finally saw ambers yesterday and the fact me running out of time, made me decide to start the 48 hours of darkness. Tomorrow she/they will be cut down for drying and curing. I have a humidifier and can manage temps to be a bit colder to prolong first dry as long as possible. Coming friday I have to decide what to do: keep them hanging for a full week, whilst Im gone. Or start the jarcure if drying (since its very hot and dry here lately, this might be the case) is faster. I would have loved to give these ladies another week maybe two... They were still so healthy. But I cant control anything when Im not here and this could potentially destroy my harvest or get very smelly, this leaves me no choice for now... The trichs are now at +/- 15% to 20% rest is all milky with just some single clears on less developped lower buds... I allread know she is nice tasting and potent enough. As soon as we are at the final weight I will post the harvest and we choose the winner! Another update: closer inspection revealed that the plants a/ had still lot of underside larf and b/ lots of clear trichomes. As we are near the finish I rather give them another week of light. So Ive bent all the big buds downwards to protect them from the light. I might not be able to correct the cure, but its a shame not give them another week if I can. Some will be horrified with the damage but my reasoning is simple, the big buds are done or almost, the larf still can develop into bigger buds so a late harvest supercrop and lowered the lights to 35 cm for the final push. In the harvest video we will show you the way we made the comfrey tea and where I keep it, our permagarden, introduce myself and maybe even Sunshine, the light of my life, introduces herself. So see you then!! Thank you for al the love and following and the likes and the guesses!! Ill keep you posted!!
