********* Week 11 - June 20 to 26, 2020 - Days 71 to 77 from germination ***********
*
It is the end of flush week and she went into darkness on Wednesday night, day 75, for two days. Saturday will be harvest day and start and the dry process👍
She has certainly been going through the beautiful stage of senescence and her fade is gorgeous. The purples and yellows coming out are great......covers up the brown spots😂😂 Her buds are densing this week as we work on bring down the humidity. Running in the mid 60’s for humidity late in flower is a different experience and one that takes some getting used to. Bring down further to low 50’s has really helped to bring out her frost as well. Kept the humidity high to form big buds......now lowering to make them more sticky👍👍
I am feeling very strongly that the big part of the pH issues this run was a change in feed water. I have always used bottled RO water for all my grows, except outdoors, but this grow I switched to tap water. Dechlorinated the water with air stone and gave it 24 hours min before using. Wanted to save some money and tired of lugging bottles downstairs a couple of times a week☹️ This is worked out nicely and a lot more convenient. However, the city must be putting some crap in the water that is causing issues in my media and raises the pH after the watering. Out of the tap it is 8.4pH and 275ppm. Since ppm were not too bad in my opinion I moved forward without filtering the water.......oops🤬🤬🤬 Out of options on what is causing the issue, I switched back to RO water late last week........all the girls are happier!!!! F......missed the cause for weeks. Always learning from this plant and my own mistakes to get better every run😉👍
Also wanted to add a little more stress to girl to help push out some increased resin. I drilled a 5/16” hole into the main stem to cause her stress. I did this rather than trying to break a branch and will see how it goes this run. Sterilized a new bit in Alcohol and went for it. They went into darkness about a couple of hours later. Excited to see what happens when she comes out to get chopped😃😃
Little more detail......
June 20/20 - Day 71
- Rezin and Liquid Weight @ 2ml/L = 285ppm and 4.0ph
- 8L given to get a good flush
- Runoff in pots already were 7.8pH and 485ppm.
- after 8L water runoff was 7.0pH and 370ppm.
- she is 29” tall and 30” wide.
- tricombs still mainly cloudy.....review again in couple of days.
June 21/20 - Day 72
- Dry out day
- buds are firming up......squeezed a couple🧐
- temps are nice outside so tent able to hold 75 degrees and 51% humidity.
June 22/20 - Day 73
- Rezin @ 1ml/L = 120ppm and pH the water to 2.7!!!!!!!!!
- Given 2L watering.
- No runoff water and I am good with that as I want the low pH water to stay in the medium.
- She will be ready soon. Thinking darkness on Wednesday and harvest on Saturday??
June 23/20 - Day 74
- 2L plain water feed - 80ppm and pH to 2.4!!!!!!
- not excited about these crazy low pH numbers but doing what we can
- her tops are getting really pointy now and her leaves are very yellow.
- checking tricombs, I think we are done and tomorrow will be her last day so that I can take down on Saturday.
June 24/20 - Day 75
- 2L plain water feed - 80ppm and pH to 3.0
- Going into darkness tonight so this was her last bit of moisture.
- drilled a hole into the stem.....was going to do a couple of holes but not trying this method before I decided to leave it with one hole.
- into darkness tonight
So we finish up the week with her in the dark. Next update will be the harvest!!
Thanks very much for taking the time to review my diary!! Sorry for running behind often on this run.........everyone has had a busy life the last couple of months in the world and its been no different here...........a huge Kudos to all the Growmie‘s that are able to keep up with their diaries on daily basis on GrowDiaries.......its a commitment😃👍👍
Mephisto has bread a very nice girl. She is big and sticky and grown very well considering the environment she has been given. Battling the high pH and still turning out as she has is awesome and much respect!!!! Great job Mephisto, can’t wait to run her again.......just so happens I have several more seeds of her😃👍

Week of fade 😎
Entering the last couple weeks of their lifecycle they’re fading, getting colorful and fat! Smell is insane, keeping temps low now to preserve terpenes and reduce salt build up due to high vpd. Checking trichomes every 2-3 days, aiming for 10-20% amber for my harvest. Stay tuned!

Check out my grow series, From Seed To Smoke, on YouTube. https://youtu.be/THYTLQyGPVQ
What an amazing week!
These ladies have been growing tremendously! It's only 3 weeks today from when the seed packs were opened. Pretty incredible if you ask me.
If you're curious, I kept the nutes at about 1/8 to 1/4 strength until transplant. That's when I upped nutes according to my chart.

==UPDATE 23 AUGUST – PREPARING WEEK 2==
➜ Growth is starting to pick up a bit now that I lowered the light from 60 cm → 50 cm → 45 cm.
➜ Leaves developed noticeably in just one day.
➜ Height increased by 1 cm in a day, from 6 cm → 7 cm.
➜ Tomorrow I’ll start feeding with very low nutrients, around 200–210 ppm, just ¼ of the recommended dose.
➜ Overall, everything looks good. Only minor temp fluctuations, sometimes hitting 29.5°C because I couldn’t run the AC, but windows are fully open.
➜ Plant seems a bit small for week 2, but many growers say this is completely normal. Could be due to:
• Low light intensity early on
• Slight stress from handling and lighting schedule adjustments (first day out of light, then 8h → 15h → 16h/day from day 3 onward)
➜ No major issues; plant is healthy and progressing well.

==Update August 26, 2025 – Autoflower Indoor 60x60x180 cm==
Strain: Banana Purple Punch Auto
Seed: Banana Purple Punch Auto
Plant age: 10 days from sprout
---
1. Substrate and Fertilization
Soil: Biobizz Light Mix (nutrients already available for about 4 weeks).
Fertilization mistake: On day 8, nutrients were added following the Madman method → overfeeding occurred.
Symptoms: leaf tips slightly yellowing, young leaves changing color.
Corrective action: nutrients stopped immediately; irrigated with pH 6 water.
Note: Biobizz Light Mix already contains nutrients for the early growth phase; fertilizing too early can cause chemical stress even without measuring EC.
---
2. Lighting
Light: Spider Farmer SF1000D
Distance from canopy: 40–45 cm
Practical note: ideal distance to avoid light burn during the first two weeks.
---
3. Climate and Temperature Management
Grow box temperature: 28–31°C (current days, no AC, window open in room).
Room temperature: 26°C with 66% RH.
Grow box humidity: 64–68%
Problem: evaporative cooling or humidifier cannot work efficiently when the air is already very saturated.
Scientific analysis – evaporative cooling:
Text for calculation:
ΔT ≈ (T_air - T_wet_bulb) * ((HR_max - HR_current) / HR_max)
With RH ≈ 66–68%, ΔT is very limited ( 65%; it only works with drier air

Kaiydaan started showing signs of Flowering early last week. A few stigmas, Pre-Flowering, but still more Vegetative. So I decided to consider this week "Flowering". She was popping stigmas before 21 days.
So far these WeedSeedsExpress genetics have shown to be exceptional.
I will be slowly reducing her Veg feedings and slowly working in Bloom nutrients. I feed very sparingly as the soil has been amended with all the good stuff, organically.
I think my light may have been too close, so I raised it a couple of inches to 20". I'm not 100% sure it was too close, but it's better to be safe than sorry.
July 1, 2021 Little calyxes have started showing all over Kaiydaan. Kaiydaan has really breezed into Flowering without any hiccups *knock on wood.
July 2, 2021 I did some tucking-of-the-leaves and some mild LST on the entire crop. I had to tuck one of Kaiydaan's taller tops. I snapped one of her other tops, but quickly got her into 🚑Urgent Care and she's as right as rain.
July 3, 2021 That main top, I tucked on Kaiydaan, has turned right back up and has put on some height. Trichomes are starting to pop and the leaves are sticky. She still has no smell or none that I've noticed.
July 5, 2021 I'm still dialing back the Veg nutrients on Kaiydaan and Freeman. J is still vegging strong, very light defoliation as she is ALL tops. We're only 1 month away until My Freeman's birthday!
July 6, 2021 I just watered the girls, they're not big drinkers yet, a liter every 3 days. J seems to be a different Pheno from the rest. Her leaves have more texture and she appears to be all tops (likely due to the FIM'ing she underwent) and she is over a week behind Kaiydaan and Freeman.

Started the flush about 5 days ago and been working on using up nutrition in plant. Plant showing signs of nitrogen level lowering and working on closing out in next 7 to 10 days. 1 more update prior to harvest. Thanks again for likes and follows. Special thanks to fastbuds. Happy growing

This week I switched over to 12/12 light cycle to begin flower stage. Cycled through a sequence of blue, red, and purple light to develop taller (red) and fuller (blue) foliage, using both (purple) at times as long as I could keep the temp under 79F. Man! once I switched over, they began taking off! Some of the more dominate branches began taking over and blocking the smaller ones in record time. I had to add a couple filler lamps (1 LED & 1 CFL, both white) to even things out a bit.
NOTE: reverting back to actual Plant-to-Lamp distance (vs Screen/Net-to-Lamp).

Strong healthy stems and nice green leaves. I defoliated the bottom 30-40% and threw a couple layers of nets over them over a few days. The flip to 11/13 has commenced and removed the 5th middle plant as a mother/backup. Dropped the humidity to a constant 40-50%. Gave a 3 tbsp topdress of them flower nutes. They got 9-10 weeks of veg total, I just don't have enough content to post.

Day 64: new week! Maybe a little overwatered but I think it’s alright! I think I will turn the autopot off for a day tomorrow!
This is the light that I’m using for this grow!
Mars hydro SP3000
High PPFD at 2.8 umol/j, average yield at 2.5g/w, increasing your yield 50% or more compared with old blurple and HPS lights, 300 watts output.
Dimmer knob added, more convenient to adjust the brightness. Up to 30 lights can be daisy-chained and control together on just one light, or just have one lamp in 120x60 tent is perfect for light.

FBT2309/Week 6
What up growmies. Weekly update on these beautiful ladies. This week we've had some temperature swings and wow did they not like getting down into the high 50's. They both bounced back but won't be letting it get that cold again if I can help. Flower sites are all over with pistols. No signs of any major issues so will keep the same routine. All in all Happy Growing
