This was my best hield so far. Last year got the same in 5 plants, now I made it with just 4. Not having to grow during the heat of July and august helped the plants a lot, as my tent catches some sun during the mornings. The smell is amazing, a tropical flavour with a lot of crystals. I gave them a 48h dark period for them to realize their cycle was coming to the end. For sure I will try to improve next time with the same seeds but with another set of nutrients. Enjoy the pictures!

Autos are doing alright this week. Very low RH has kept them from being their best selves. No worries, early season growing suck, and this years faults will be next years improvements. Next year will move from an electric heater to an oil filled radiant so that I dont suck so much moisture out of the air First week of flower, I expect them all to stretch this week

Finally, 25 weeks i believe... Mold, mildew, bud rot, rain, humidity, crazy wind, frost. Somehow these girls turned out just fine and I am so proud of the end result. I am late posting, everything is pretty much all cured up and ready to smoke. Just finished making some stocking-stuffer jars for friends and family for Christmas. It was interesting to see the different phenotypes from each plant. One was named Average Girl, medium size, medium height. Then there was Big Bitch. She was the tallest and had the skinniest nugs. Next was Dolly.. She had the fattest cones of the 4.. a little shorter than Average Girl. And last was Runt... She was about 2 weeks behind her sisters and about a foot shorter, but she did not get any mold or mildew, and her buds were ginormous. I let her go an extra 2-3 weeks later than her sisters, bringing her into the garage every night at 7 pm, and then waking up at 7 am to put her outside. By far, my favorite plant was Runty. She finished up so nice. Overall smell is Kushy blueberry diesel cat piss with a hint of citrus. Wouldn't grow this strain again just because it did not handle the weather well, and I like a kushier final product, on the taste and nose. That being said, I am a very happy guy right now. Over and out.

This week another huge growth. Still on EC 1.5. I try EC 1.7 and little bit of nutrient burn show up, so I low it to 1.5. By far biggest plant I grew. Plant is very vigorous.

16/5/22: Week 3: VD15 for both. AN stands a little taller. But she comes of enzymes and TP goes on them this week, following their guidelines as far as when to give them the nutrients but I'm far of giving their recommend dose. 15.5 CM for AN GROW & 14cm for TP GROW. Both have been put into the 150x150x220 homebox and I have my 70x70x160 inside my big tent, this will allow me to keep the RH high in that tent while the photos veg and autos will be in full bloom. 17/5/22 both girls were topped above the 5th node. 18/5/22 Figuring out how VPD works. You could read for hours about this stuff and still not dial it in for years. But here's the basics. VPD 0.4-0.8 kpa for early seedling. So under or around 23c and around 50-60 RH. atm my VPD is 1.05kpa and for most of my plants the optimal range is .8-1.1 kpa. Temp is 80 F 25C and RH is 70%. To find the perfect VPD (Vapor Pressure Deficit)check out optimal ranges of VPD for growing stages, also your strain should have the optimal VPD. I don't have an infrared temp to check the LVPD (Leaf Vapor Pressure Deficit) that's a whole other ball game. Im not going to get too boged down at the moment with VPD&kpa. As I said that's in a whole other league. Im going to run a basic VPD environment though. In heavy flower my temp will defo be in the 26-28 range as I'll have the 20L dehuimifier in my 5x5x7. 22/5/22 Solid growth coming from these 2 ladies. 15+ cm growth in a week is great. Hopefully I'll get another 4-7 days of growth before they start flowering.

This week I cut a lot of foliage off. This way the lights can get to more buds. Weed inspires creativity.

End of Week 15 (8th week of flower) I have stopped the CO2 supplementation for this week and onwards as the plants naturally slow down photosynthesis and it is not needed during the last 2 weeks of flower. Also raised the lights by 5cm to make sure the trichomes don't get damaged and also dropped the RH and temperatures even more than last week, and surely the colours are becoming more and more vibrant as the ladies are fading into their autumn shades. Feeding just water since middle last week, all I'm doing is giving the ladies PH correct water until harvest to naturally deplete the soil from nutrients and flush out the soil slowly this will help bring out even more colours as the ladies use up the remaining nutrients stored in their leaves as they reach the end of their life cycle. Pest Report: None Smell Report: Staaaaanky!

Thinking of pulling this whole run at this point, the stems are in a bad way and general structure has really suffered. FIM'd both girls this week & gave compost tea(ecothrive biosys) to aid recovery. Will make a decision on growing them out depending on how they respond. (Update end of week.) So in the first week these girls stretched terribly, instead of riding it out and letting them adjust I tried a trick I've applied with tomatoes in the garden and coiled an inch of the excess under the surface and covered it. After a burst of invigorating from the microbe tea(biosys) these girls seem to be recovering from the stress fairly well. The only down side, the stems have broken the surface and left me with these crazy bonsai style stems & the girls are very short and bushy, concerned the stems won't hold any weight later in life.. Will give this another week and make my decision TLDR; Don't interfere with nature when you can help it, especially with autoflowers. Update day 28 from sprout. Bbk1 showing signs of nitrogen toxicity after perking up, I had to use the bottle measure last week instead of a syringe. Much less accurate so assume this is the cause, just ph water for a while. Bbk2 perking up slightly. I did think these girls looked a funny shape and now I can see the stem properly its starting to make sense 🤦‍♂️🤣🤣

Hey now, I hope everyone is having a great weekend. The Strawberry Banana is doing well, I am just doing some LST every couple of days, and she is just starting to stretch. She is still feeding on silica, cal mag, and maxi grow veg nutes by GHE. She seem to be loving this Medic Grow Spectrum X, which I am now running at 70% and also running the UV/IR bars for 1 hour before lights off. I also did a light defoliation this week to allow some airflow and her to focus more energy on the upper branches. I will continue to with LST and veg nutrients until the vertical growth stops, then I will transition her to flower nutrients, and change her lighting to the red spectrum. Not much to do this week except watch her stretch and some light LST> Thanks for stopping by, Stay Safe and Blaze On!!! 💪 Website: https://medicgrow.com/ https://growdiaries.woodroom.tel/grower/medicgrowled

It’s the 1st week of flower I flipped the plants to 12/12 a few days ago. There is a lot going on and a lot of cool and amazing things coming in the near future. Make sure to check out my YouTube page. I bought me a DJI gimbal this week. Might be my new favorite toy. The temps are starting to break for the summer. I don’t see it being very long until winter is here and it’s time to use a heater and not an ac unit. All of the plants are healthy. The plants have all grown so well I turned down the light intensity a bit today the plants didn’t seem like they was starting to strech very much. Hopefully the lower light intensity will make them strech out just a bit

This was a good week we say alot of growth and they seem like they've all recovered from the bad ph. Day 29 I topped Plant B and day 31 I topped the rest of them. Gave them 4 cups of water with 1 ml of calmag in it. Ph was at 6.4. Trying to plant some of the tops because why not. If they grow they grow. Day 33 I Transplanted into 1 gallon pots because the roots were filling and coming out of the bottom of the solo cup. Still in fox farms happy frog soil. Sprinkled some "great white" mycorrhizea in the soil. Transplanted went good.

Day 30: Switching to Bloom and Iguana Bloom replaced veg and adding BB to push the process. Picked up a pressure sprayer/mister to get the Grease and Golden Goddess more involved on a foliage level. I think I'm gonna water again @ the start of light cycle tomorrow with VPT along with my Carbo load, B2 Budx and Rhino and turn light up for a few. Day 31: Went on and watered my plants this morning with a health doese of the VPT mix to get all of my soil moist this morning and have been monitoring. Think the root system is appreciating it because I defoliated and already looking lush agai Can't wait til I'm knock'n on heavens door!!!! Day 32: Just fed 2nd bloom feeding with a twist. I got to reading about how to mix the Bud Blood and found that it is very strong and that you should mix to dissolve in warm water. I have a lab mixer so mixed a liter with a tsp for a mix with the dropper when needed. Glad i got the mixology recommendation early enough. Have not really been holding back on the feeding and am pretty generous with my nutrients, so going for big results. Smoking some Green Crack right now and just hope my GC is as good as this I'm smoking now. Day33: My plants are sleep and I'm not so that means I'm thinking about grow stuff. So I fed my 2nd bud blood feeding yesterday around 4ish.....in the middle of light cycle. 3:30am in the dark they are wilting a bit. I mean I understand without photosynthesis there is wilting especially if nutrients are in the plant. In a 7 day cycle these girls are getting water every 24hours wether feeding or roots(that VTP mix gets toggled with add in's for root health) but think that in this bloom phase, gonna start feeding @ beginning of light cycle to get as much photosynthesis hours with the Bud Blood as I can so that the nutrients work as they should. Not wanting my plants to "burn" with the nutrients under that 6...... the 1. Today will be working and watching and will probably give em time to kind of just get adjusted for these next 5 weeks. I have a mix of Grease and Golden Goddess that I will spray when they awake and will be monitoring temperature and humidity to keep my VPD in 1.7 area. Day 34: So started the light cycle with my 2nd feeding in the bloom stage. Got a healthy feed on with some added cal-mag to ensure that I don't get any type of nutrient lock. Pretty impressed with the BB as my plant's are starting to show her flowers. There like dots of star's all over my grow. Have been slacking on the defoliation and considering lollipop but since these are AF and this is my first grow to let em kind of just grow and keep the light bright. Already thinking about my next grow and these FF's!!!! That's gonna be my winter grow and going to use the knowledge from this grow towards that grow. Day 35:Got 2 more feed cycles with the BB but might go with igniter on a few now that budding is starting. Observing for now and thinking maybe one more deflation but looking great.

Alien OG Autoflower grew great, and finished beautifully. Strong smell, frosty, and sticky. She grew great under the Mars Hydro FC4800 light. It was my first time using the Gen 1:11 nutrients. I really like them, and will use again till I run out or get more. She will hang dry 24 hours then be put into the cannatrol for a 8 day cycle. I got a great grow to try it out the first time. 🤞. Thank you Aeque Genetics, Gen1:11, and Mars Hydro. 🤜🤛🌱🌱🌱 Thank you grow diaries community for the 👇likes👇, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel👇. ❄️🌱🍻 Happy Growing 🌱🌱🌱 https://youtube.com/channel/UCAhN7yRzWLpcaRHhMIQ7X4g

Flushing begins for the super lemon haze! She has dense heavy buds, even though they are not huge in size. Buds are very sticky, covered in trics and will definitely be ready for harvest in 7 more days.

Hi all🧑‍🌾 Welcome to my final 🍌💜👊 week update. First of all. I would like to thank you all for such an amazing support on this bananas journey. I am amazed of the amount of love received from community here. Thank you Grow Diaries and Fastbuds for opportuniy to share and grow this amazing genetics. Love you all❤️💜💚 Was looking for strong indica dominant strain and after reading and hearing so much about this one. Just couldn't resist to not give a go. Was a bit worried before planting seeds that my final yield outcome may not be satisactionary as only have 0.26msq and Fastbuds advertising this strain as 450-550g msq but thankfuly my result was way above this scale. My 2 beautiful ladies Athena - right corner lady. She was slighlthly more dominant over entire grow cycle. She got more space on scrog earlier and that's why she developed the most. Xena - left corner lady, I belive that she could outgrew her sister if she just have more space and another week of time. Did not expect her to turn so well on the end. Both girls were put in darkness for 48h before chop. Wet trimmed and hang for a week. Daily jars burbing for 10 days and every 2-4 days now. Weights Wet trimmed Athena 870g Xena 632g Total 1502g Dry trimmed Athena 172g Xena 147g Total dry 319g Bubble hash 6g (37g of trims) I am very happy with this result. In my opinion Banana Purple Punch Auto its a masterpiece. Thank you so much for all the support, likes, follows and comments 🙏❤️💜❤️ Peace and love brother and sisters ✌️💚🧑‍🌾 Smoke review coming in shortly Links https://2fast4buds.com/seeds/banana-purple-punch-auto https://plagron.com https://www.biobizz.com/ https://fishheadfarms.com/

Some light defoliation this week to hopefully get more airflow and encourage upward growth before flowering sets in. (already well underway), might go heavier next week. Got some nasty visitor chewing my leaves, but not aphid or mites, possibly cricket or beetle... monitoring.
