Well this will be these girls last week, they are supposed to be early versions with a 5 week flowering time, according to the package anyway. 5 weeks = 35days....lol I didn’t think they would be this quick, but when I looked at Delicious Seeds website it says 45-55 days... so we aren’t actually that far over. But they are definitely ripening up and we are low on supply, hence why we went with the 5 week strain in this tent this time...lol so these girls are gonna get chopped to make room for the new girls coming into the tent and get us some smoke for the time being so we can do a proper 9-10 weeks on my Banana Bomb. I continued the flush through last week and they are fading out a bit, some more then others. The one bigger plant still seems to be behind but is starting to get some decent buds going, I would like to do a few more weeks on her but she is coming down with the rest. Well that’s it for this week, took lots of pics. Next update will be Harvest! Cheers! 💨

D8. We're at the start of the second week, and there isn't much to report. The girls are slowly getting taller and wider. The leaves of both plants show interveinal chlorosis, and the first one also has a tiny bit of a burn and twisted leaves. I suspect that is due to the girls growing right into the topdressing, and I'm hoping that it will correct itself as the girls get bigger with more substantial root systems. I prepared some foliar spray with fulvic acid and horticultural soap as a wetting agent for my other tent, so I also gave these girls a very light foliar spray. I might as well when I have extra :) ------------------------------ D9. The chlorosis is decreasing, but we have squatters in the tent! I've started germinating this year's chilis: Fidalgo Roxa, Jalapeño Early, Serrano, and Mushroom Yellow. I'll keep them in the tent as long as possible since it saves me some electricity. ------------------------------ D11. The second girl had a later and slower start, so she is lagging. Let's see if she catches up eventually. Soil is slowly losing moisture but still far from needing a watering. DLI set to 16. ------------------------------ D14. The end of the second week. By now, there's a clear size difference between the two girls, with the first being significantly larger. On the other hand, she also has twisted leaves, which the second girl doesn't have. One leaf is even a bit burnt. I tested the soil today, and it clocked in at a neutral pH of 7, so I doubt it is a pH issue. Instead, I suspect it is due to the topsoil being too "hot" with the top dressing I put on before the grow. In hindsight, it might have been better to wait with the top dressing until the plants had established themselves. Oh, well. We grow and learn. I still haven't given the girls any more water, so the fungus gnats get to enjoy life a while longer. Although, they haven't really become much of an issue. Still, the buggers have gotta go, and I'll water in SF nematodes to deal with them in a few days. I raised DLI to 20 yesterday. ------------------------------

Olá, sejam todos bem vindos a mais uma semana dessa semente maravilhosa da Fast Buds a Banana Purple punch. Estou muito satisfeito com essa semana pois elas cresceram bastante e estão se preparando para começar a engordar os Buds. Tive um pequeno problema no começo da semana, fui fazer o LST e acabei quebrando o caule principal de uma planta mais graças a Técnica já tinha bastante ramificações que fizeram os galhos laterais crescerem e evoluírem bastante. Em relação aos fertilizantes estou colocando 1.5 ml/L e achei que o resultado foi incrível, vou manter essa dosagem mais uma semana e espero que na semana que vem eu já traga alguns botões pra vocês. Agradeço a todos que estão acompanhando e aos que ainda irão acompanhar

Últimos días. Plantitas sanitas con una buena cantidad de flores.

We are on the start of week 5 !! These ladies are going strong , I over watered a bit so I got some discolouration but its all good ( From when I transplanted ) but they seem to be unaffected and rocking and rolling ! I lowered the dose of nutrients I'm finding 520PPM to be a bit to much right now and that's only mixing 1.5ml / l of each solution so I've reduced it to 1ml of each. Looking to top these ladies this week to get started on some of that training ! A big thank you goes out to everyone who stops in to support the diary much appreciated ! Happy Growing! -V.G Day#26V Ladies are responding well to watering , going to start allowing 1 extra day in between watering's to really dry up! Day#1 Since watering 1 cup at 520PPM Day#27V Pictures N/A. Ladies are growing gonna let them finish node before topping . Day#2 Since watering 1 cup at 520PPM Day#28V Pictures N/A. Almost done pushing up the 5th node then I'm going to top them ! Day#3 Since watering 1 cup at 520PPM Day#29V Pictures N/A. Almost ready to top 1 more day or so !! Watered ladies 1 cup each at 150PPM ( B52 only PH 6.3 ) Day#30V Topped both ladies now the training can start !! Day#1 Since watering 1 cup each at 150PPM Day#31V Ladies dont seem to mind to have been topped . Just waiting for them to heal now ! Day#2 Since watering 1 cup each at 150PPM Day#32V Pictures N/A. Ladies looked thirsty so I watered them 1/2 L each at 320 PPM. Recap: The ladies did well this week , they grew enough for me to top them and now we are just waiting for them to heal up nicely before applying LST . I find these plants like to stay tight so it might take some additional training to open up the canopy to maximise my yield . Other then that nothing really to complain about increased the water given to plants per feeding because Im finding the medium isnt staying as moist as it should be . Stay tuned !

End of week 2 beginning of week 3 the plants were doing well but now we’re seeing some nutrient lockout “we think” there is what looks like nitrogen toxicity with the curled tips and the discoloration of the leaves meaning mag deficiency /calcium .. today I flushed with 5.8-6.0 ph RO water then fed a little feed that at 940 ppm and 6.0 ph really hoping things turn around as of now not seeing any hermies thank god ! The lights were turned up to 70% power and the plants are just about done with their stretch ! The baby buds are looking ok now super bad problems yet . I’m doing this grow all automated so I’m only available to be hands on abojt 2 times a week which is something I’m not used too. Hopefully in the next week we start seeing the plants bouncing back to life ! If you guys could help out and lmk what you think is wrong with the plants when it comes to the discoloration and curled tips please let me know! Temp is 73 during the day 67-68 at night and humidity is between 43-48%

The plants look and feel incredible, I can't wait to do some serious supercropping later into this week. Follow along! This should be fun. Day 3 flower update: holy cow I love these plants, I am having a ton of growth and turned the optic 8s up to 100/50/25 and going to leave it here until 9/1 then switch to 100/60/50 and see how they react. Clones got cleaned out today to a buddy so we can further a couple other strains, the Chempie cuts were exquisite. Side note a little bit of nutrient burn noticed on main girl ZKWC but not anything to stress about, washing machine mother does not seem to mind a higher EC feed. The last few weeks have been a 30 second watering once a day. As of today 8/23 I am switching to 5/5/2.5/2.5 ml/g for BasisA/BasisB/StartR/Calimagic. I am obviously not an expert grower, just a guy trying to grow some beautiful big fat flowers. Take my advice with a grain of salt but feel free to lurk and watch the results! So day 4 of flower I was contemplating what my goal for this grow is, and I settled on schwazzing this grow, I did it with my first photo grow in Hydro and had awesome success on all but two plants (weaker blue dream phenos did not respond well and I had all kinds of feeding issues not entirely sure they would've made it without the schwaz either but anyways...) So yeah we're gonna try it out. Plants are bouncing back quickly from everything, I supercropping a ton to really spread the plant out and I'll be throwing a trellis back up after they have a chance to reach.

Let’s Go Day 81!!!! This week went real great 2 Ogreberrys are hanging to dry and also the Bruce Banner is too after there 48 hr of darkness! The 3 other Ogreberrys began flush on Monday so finish out this week of flush and one more week of flush after that an they will get the chop too! But stay stunned for next week , we’re not done yet so keep them eyes peeled!! Y’all have an amazing productive day as well as a great week ! Peace love an positive vibes to everybody Cheers 😶‍🌫️💨💨💨💨💨🤙🏻

Gorilla came down three days and ten hours ago, had the whole grow room to spare so she was hung whole upside down after just a bit of trimming for the main fan leaves that sort of thing. First day 24°C 60% humidity, second day 26-28°C 50% humidity, third day 25.5 °C 35% humidity. I had the exhaust and the fan going which gave this very nice light indirect breeze on these ladies. Really amazing smell that i had not really noticed until D-day, pistachios and christmas pine. Thought i was golden until i realised they were drying faster than i wanted. Ended up with 65/70% humidity which made these buds kinda airy in a way. Also the way the gorilla grows there were loads of tiny stems everywhere was a killer trying to get them out, ended up mincen some of the buds somewhat. Gorilla glue is absolutely a great auto to run. In ten gal it was tripple the size of my stunted one. 370 wet, hopefully something close to 100 dry - let's see I'll update in a couple of weeks. The gorilla grows bushy quickly, by week 3 it was noticeably more bushy than the rest. Kinda took an extra week to really start flowering then it stretched 20-50 cm a week for four weeks. In all it's close to 1.5 meters in height, loads of colas, maybe twice or three times as many as the GSC. Next time i'm gonna prune the flower nodes further down the cola. The buds themselves are quite thin, but rock solid much harder than any other strain i've grown so far - but this is my first time growen so take that with a grain of salt. The buds are covered in frost, trykes all over, oily oily oily, if you touch the buds your hands smells great for a few hours. Fun ! The trykes started appearing quite early and took a while's longer than the rest to get ripe - like truly ripe. So there were absolutely no ambers, maybe i saw one or two, but basically no ambers - this lady got cut down at the height of potency The grow tent. Once you dial it in it becomes your best friend, but if you're having trouble getting it stable it can become your worst nightmare. I made every mistake in the book. First off i set it up without really testing it with the lights on when using it as a germination room. Worked like a charmed until i turned it on. Took me weeks to figure it out. In the end running the AC the whole time through all of summer until it's very last day. 600W HPS through summer is not something i'm gonna be doing again. With my wing reflector there was nothing i could do except keep the lamps high, led to a lot of stretching. Cool tube is the only way to go. The HPS started flickering half way through veg and it died while I was away. I ended up going through 5 of those small fans until i realized & got a box fan. Once I accidently had it pointing straight at them for 8 hours or more a couple of times on max.… So i got a white 150W fan from china i also got Silent TT 123 W fan and hooked it onto the cool tube. Great fan, huge, black, strong, and with temperature control. I call him big dick cop killer because he's black and beats the heat. get it? Had two 90° bends outflowing for the exhaust and the heat just wasn't getting dissipated quick enough. Both of them together I could rest my hand on the cool tube with ease. i was able to test out temps and lux at various points in the grow room and figured i could have up to 4 degrees difference between the base and the top of the plant, still got it pretty stable. I had differences in lux from several 100 to several 1000 different places in the tent, probably because I was hanging the filter, the fan and the cooltube all crooked by then, but at that point my grow was a slow moving trainwreck. I had everything I needed to dial in my lamp to plant distance too, but couldn’t. I went bio which was nice, but i think I should try synthtetics or a mix next time. The soil spawned some flies which were easy to get rid of. Then when i tried measuring the EC of the soil, i'm afraisd that the soil particulates kind of skew results. Thought the soil could buff out anything really but rhizotonic had the better of me before i could get my PH strips in.... not that it matters but I broke my PH meter pretty quickly anyway. Live and learn ! Watering itself I think is something you should pay attention to, you don’t want to be pouring it out and getting your soil compacted from the water. Seedlings are a different thing, not too much water, don’t keep the medium too wet, maybe watering with precision is something that could be done. Using the liquid ferts was quite tedious, and I have doubts about using all bio in general, using liquid fertilisers regularly in soil, and following the labels. Thing is you shouldn’t really need much of these ferts in soil anyway, yet still got cal mag deficiencies so you tell me! Well there's a fair few things i wouldn't do again, like grow in the heat of summer with a 600W HPS and the AC on. I fumbled around before I had my dimmable ballast, and stressed out the seedlings which is a no no. Once I got the ballast I lowered then raised the intensity from 250 to 600 in three weeks light stressing my poor babies even more. It never occurred to me to plan out a grow, next time i'll definitely plan it out and make sure I'm kitted out a bit better going in. Same for the grow room, avoid bends in the piping, set the thing up a run it before i throw the plants in there, wont hang my filter above that high, and keep the fan on the ground maybe. Grow room wise I’m kitted out, got everything I need, but next time will install some 70 micron mesh in all my intakes just in case. Also never growing without cal mag again even in soil ! I'll probably do straight drops into forever homes directly too, no sense faffing about like the @silverback_guerilla 😂. It's not all bad news though, loads of things i would do again. I would even grow in soil again, especially now i have a bunch of soil ferts from america (thanks @mrs_larimar !!!). I wouldn't mind using the 600W HPS again, worked well enough ! most importantly i will be using TNB CO2 again because it makes a clear difference even if i don't have any of my own grows to compare it to. Another critical thing i did which i'll be using again is the chelation agents, i'm going to want to stay more on top of those and might even use as foliar spray on XXLs between weeks 3 and 4 veg. I ended up spraying rhiz second to third week, will definitely add some cal mag in the foliar spray. Mag sulfur supplement is going in next time too, if you put a lot of light, you need a lot of magnesium, so that's happening again for sure. I’ve been looking at predator insects pretty seriously, ladybugs are a must clearly, but I might throw in some other ones too just to be sure. It's a lot about what you do when you're not growing , learning about it, meeting great folks (see the comments for all my thanks), and enjoying watching a plant grow slowly. I learned so much about a plant that’s been a part of my life since I was eleven, I think I was 15 when I first thought it was silly not to grow, fifteen years later I can’t believe how long it took me to try it out ! Getting a crash course in horticulture, using a tent, and generally learning about the bio-dynamic world that surrounds us was really rewarding. Just got some cool ferts in the mail all the way from America, so thanks to growgreentrees.com and growcaps might try them side by side. Expecting some cool testers soon too so thanks to @pharmaz my boy past the bridge ! I’ll pop those right in FTB5, Auto Zkits, and something else I don’t know yet  cream cookies or lsd35? I really wanted to get out of the dirt with some coco or DWCs but oh well another soil grow can’t hurt ! A big thank you to @mrs_Larimar GD and the folks at trim bag for the gear ! I’ve already got a spinning blade thing, so let’s see how this compares , but at least now I’ve got cool scissors to do all that trimming – bless ! Just wanted to say thanks for holding my hand to a few folks @mrs_larimar of course, thank you so much and looking forward to some fun times on gd; my main man @mudbug great hanging out with you growmie ; @pharmaz and @silverback_guerilla; new friends like @bigdaddyk @valhallasgarden and @slimsativa; My ghost brother @beans, check out his one leaf GONNA MAKE IT GONNA BEAST IT ; Everyone who stopped by to help me @B4RNS of course, @farmerbrett too, @hawkbo, @tryhard, @tonino, @tazard @mad_scientist @spinnergrow, @poleeg1986 – he’s an amazing European canna porno director check out his gorillas my good lord save me; special thanks to all the Growvengers, and the @dudegrowsweed ; @wheetobeme, @experimentgreen, @weedeep, @chi_town_white_boy @chillum_mafia and even @mulch – play your part man bless ! Thanks to Nico @fast_buds for some cool testers, my favorite hat and some fun times on GD ! A final recap of everything I learned (see for yourself in the diary) : never buy a kit, buy local, buy direct, less is more, go big on fans, keep refills around, always add CalMag CO2 and chelation agents, no bends in the pipes, cover your intakes with micro mesh, nail the first couple weeks of flower and it’s smooth sailing, always protect your eyes ! Just one last thing though: have to say it’s pretty great having access to all the best horticuralists from around the world. Shout outs to all my North American and South American grower friends, @russiangrower and all the east European growers, my Scandinavian friends, Spanish and German growers, and African and Japanese growers, I don’t understand everything you’re saying all the time but I like your style ! You won’t know until you grow ! Dassit 🚀000000

Comenzamos la 6ta semana, con LST realizado y cada vez más dobladas para ir mostrando todos sus brotes. Se realizó una defoliación a las hojas más grandes para que los brotes pudieran tener luz directa. Respondieron bien al LST que se le fue haciendo (apretando cada vez más los hilos) y a la defoliación. Se aplicó diatomeas al sustrato para evitar posibles plagas. Terminando la 6ta semana se cambia el fotoperiodo a 12/12 para pasarlas a floración

She did great with only overdrive and calmag at the end

They develop beautifully going into stretch and I really enjoy this run. Great genetics as usual with seeds by thegreenabbot. I just love the journey of growing, learning something new from every run! This one will be crazy.

Incredible cool variety! clones take root without problems .. excellent variety for cloning .. not whimsical .. resistant to heat)) in general showed excellent growth and a great harvest with an excellent effect!

Week 6/5 - 12/5 Next week 50L of water to flush.

Strain was easy to grow. Had some herms but since I only have 2 plants I was able to pinch the balls off. Buds have no seeds and are a strong smoke. Really hits the lungs.

Bellissime e in gran forma, sono molto felice... Una delle 2 sta prendendo la colorazione viola, ma presto la prenderà anche l altra visto che provengono dalla stessa mamma... Sanno un profumo interessante di petrolio classico ceppo chem. Non vedo l ora che prendano colore 😍😍

Very good and pure amnesia smell, clasic, never let you down, Love that clasic amnesia smell coming from this flowers, let's see how se keeps performing during this 4th week!

gonna water today. watering every 3rd day. working on the mainline continues
