This next week should be the bounce back out of the stunt I have really been waiting for. Went with a heavy decomposing top dress instead of the teas I been brewing. Might add more castings other then that I introduced slow burning phosphorus and potassium to start breaking down into July August so it will be available to the plants then. Will add the seed list for new cover crop soon. Seed mix: California Bluebells Plains Coreopsis Cherry Belle Radish Cosmos Blend Royal Carpet Alyssum Sweet Genovese Basil Common Chives Slow Bolting Cilantro Bouquet Herb Dill Summer Savory Sweet Majoram Blue Borage Parsley Broad Leaved Sage Herb Italian Oregano German Thyme Rosemary Siberian Wallflower China Aster Mix Purple Coneflower Chinese Forget-Me-Not Lanceleaf Coreopsis Indian Blanket Mixed Corn Poppy Blue Flax Sweet Mignonette Lacy Phacelia Clasping Coneflower Black-Eyed Susan Mexican Hat New England Aster Bergamot Crimson Clover White Clover Medium Red Clover Yellow Blossom Sweet Clover Hairy Vetch Common Vetch Flax Fenugreek Forage Pea Buckwheat Cow Peas Millet Lentil Chia Marigold Hyssop Lavender Catnip Lemon Grass I put such a diverse blend knowing sum will win out I also need a dense buffer to accommodate any buffer nutrient and allow me also to continuously increase diversity. Included a lot pest deterrent as well as beneficial insect attracting seeds to this mix. Lots of lst preparing the final canopy. Going so see how it grows out from here then decide how I am going about the trellis.

When attempting to bend the main cola on the Gorilla with plastic clips (never again), it snapped and hung on just the tiniest thread, so I involuntarily had to remove it completely, thus topping it, which I never intended. The plant does not seem to mind at all and the side branches started lifting up as if trying to take over and compensate. So far, Northern Light is the biggest mystery for me - the leaves look strange and it has the slowest growth of all. Even the Purolematic, which started last and was the smallest turned out to grow bigger. I also added 2 fans to help circulate the air inside.

Day 77. Chop day, forced by bud rot. Sad that we have very high humidity and +30 temps, worst weather for big colas. That one grew very nice ! Happy Growing !!!

Hello everyone. Welcome to the new diary for the Banana Runtz F1 Hybrid. After my last little drama where one seedling decided to check out early, I popped two fresh seeds, and both have sprouted beautifully and look strong. Third time's the charm, as they say, though technically this is attempt number two. Let's see what these little ones get up to next week. Thank you for stopping by and have yourself a great weekend. Best regards, Growfather.

Cherry Limeade von Doja – Wochenupdate 🌱 Bei der Cherry Limeade geht es langsam in die Endphase der Blüte. Die ersten Blätter beginnen bereits, herbstliche Farben zu entwickeln 🍂, während die Buds weiterhin ordentlich Harz produzieren und sehr klebrig sind 🌸. Insgesamt bin ich mit der Entwicklung der Blüten weiterhin zufrieden, allerdings gibt es aktuell einen Punkt, der mich etwas nervt: Die Buds bilden zunehmend Foxtails aus. Ich vermute, dass die dafür verantwortlichen hohen Temperaturen zumindest teilweise eine Rolle spielen 🌡️. Besonders der Hydrone 5 von AC Infinity entwickelt im Betrieb deutlich Wärme. Der VPD wird zwar durch den KI-Controller und den Hydrone 5 insgesamt sehr gut geregelt, aber genau hier liegt meiner Meinung nach eine Schwäche des Systems. Bei der Produkteinführung wurde aus meiner Sicht nicht ausreichend kommuniziert, wie viel zusätzliche Wärme der Entfeuchter unter bestimmten Bedingungen in das Zelt einträgt. AC Infinity hat die Produktbeschreibung mittlerweile entsprechend angepasst, als ich das Gerät gekauft habe, war das allerdings noch nicht so kommuniziert. Das ärgert mich ehrlich gesagt etwas. Wenn die Außenluft eine hohe relative Luftfeuchtigkeit mitbringt, muss der Hydrone 5 entsprechend viel arbeiten. Trotz der Regelung über den Ablüfter können dann im Zelt durchaus Temperaturen von etwa 29 °C entstehen, weil die vom Entfeuchter erzeugte Wärme die Kühlung über die Abluft teilweise wieder zunichtemacht. Als alleinige Entfeuchtungslösung sehe ich den Hydrone 5 deshalb inzwischen eher als Winterlösung. Wenn die Außentemperaturen niedrig sind, sind hohe Temperaturen und hohe RLF normalerweise ohnehin weniger problematisch. Schimmel muss ich mir unter den aktuellen Bedingungen zwar keine großen Sorgen machen, aber Foxtailing in der Endblüte möchte ich natürlich trotzdem möglichst vermeiden 😅. Deshalb werde ich die Lichtintensität in den nächsten Tagen von 900 auf etwa 800 PPFD reduzieren und beobachten, wie sich die Buds entwickeln 💡. Vielleicht lässt sich damit etwas Druck aus dem System nehmen. Beim Aroma bin ich inzwischen ebenfalls etwas enttäuscht. Ein echtes Kirscharoma hat sich leider weiterhin nicht entwickelt 🍒. Die Buds sind zwar extrem klebrig, aber verglichen mit meiner Mentha de Croco haut mich das Aroma bisher nicht wirklich um. Aktuell wirkt das Terpenprofil insgesamt etwas schwach. Ob das tatsächlich genetisch bedingt ist oder die hohen Temperaturen einen Teil des Aromas beeinträchtigen, möchte ich noch nicht abschließend beurteilen. Ich warte deshalb definitiv bis zum Ende der Blüte und nach der Trocknung und Reifung mit meinem endgültigen Fazit 🧐. Vielleicht passiert in den letzten Wochen noch einiges – gerade beim Aroma kann sich bis zum Schluss noch etwas verändern. 📊 Aktuelle Parameter: 💡 Licht: 900 PPFD / DLI 39 → künftig ca. 800 PPFD 🌡️ Temperatur: 25 °C zeitweise bis ca. 29 °C 💧 Luftfeuchtigkeit: 54% durch Hydrone 5 geregelt 📈 VPD: 1,4 kPa durch KI-Controller/Hydrone 5 stabil geregelt 🌿 CO₂: Ø 700 ppm 💦 Wasserverbrauch: ca. 1,92 l/Tag Cherry Limeade – Weekly Update 🌱 The Cherry Limeade is slowly entering the final stage of flowering. The first leaves are already starting to show some autumn-like colors 🍂, while the buds continue to produce plenty of resin and are extremely sticky 🌸. Overall, I’m still happy with the development of the flowers, but there is one thing that is starting to annoy me a little: the buds are increasingly developing foxtails. I suspect that the high temperatures are at least partly responsible for this 🌡️. The Hydrone 5 from AC Infinity generates a noticeable amount of heat while running. The VPD itself is actually being controlled very well by the AI controller and the Hydrone 5, but this is also where I see a weakness in the system. When the product was originally launched, I don’t think AC Infinity communicated clearly enough how much additional heat the dehumidifier can add to the tent under certain conditions. AC Infinity has since updated the product description accordingly, but this was not communicated that way when I purchased the unit. Honestly, that does annoy me a little. When the outdoor air has a high relative humidity, the Hydrone 5 has to work harder. Even with the exhaust fan being controlled accordingly, I can still see temperatures of around 29 °C inside the tent because the heat generated by the dehumidifier partly offsets the cooling effect of the exhaust 🌡️. For this reason, I now see the Hydrone 5 as more of a winter solution when used as the sole dehumidification method. During winter, lower ambient temperatures make the additional heat much less of an issue. I’m not particularly worried about mold under the current conditions, but foxtailing during late flower is obviously not something I want to encourage 😅. So over the next few days I’ll reduce the light intensity from 900 to around 800 PPFD and see how the buds respond 💡. Hopefully this will take some stress out of the system. I’m also a little disappointed with the aroma at this point. Unfortunately, no real cherry aroma has developed so far 🍒. The buds are extremely sticky, but compared with my Mentha de Croco, the aroma isn’t really blowing me away. Overall, the terpene profile currently seems a little weak. Whether this is mainly genetic or whether the high temperatures are suppressing some of the aroma is something I don’t want to judge conclusively yet. I’ll definitely wait until the end of flowering, and preferably until after drying and curing, before making my final assessment 🧐. There is still some time left, and especially with the aroma, things can still change during the final weeks. 📊 Current parameters: 💡 Light: 900 PPFD / DLI 39 → reducing to approx. 800 PPFD 🌡️ Temperature: 25 °C occasionally up to approx. 29 °C 💧 Humidity: 54% controlled by Hydrone 5 📈 VPD: 1,4 kPa well controlled by the AI controller/Hydrone 5 🌿 CO₂: Avg. 700 ppm 💦 Water consumption: approx. 1.92 L/day

Cherry Punch just got her last feed this past week. The next 2 weeks will be full flushing for them. Garlic cookies, watermelon Skittlez, Mint cookies, cookies and cream, and wedding cake are going to be fed up to weeks 7-8. All the plants are finishing nicely! smells are getting a little more dank forsure!😎

Hi guys. Lovely strain as well, the smell and the bud colours are amazing! Thanks RQS!!!

Week 6, flowers filling out

This was my best experience yet with growing and am quite proud of myself! Training went almost perfect and the plants handled the resistance strengthened up and sprouted so many buds! All we’re dense and frosty by the end time! I dried in brown paper bags in 17.5-18.5c temps with a humidity of 40-50% and took 7 days to dry! I have them curing in 3L glass jars with 62% Boveda pack inside! I’ll be able to really taste the flavour then but it’s already strong and tastes great! Royal queen seeds are definitely worth a top place on seeds! Added a few photos after cure! The smell is like sweet pungent and flowery and the high is full body and u get itchy eyes and dry mouth!

Good leaf growth this week. She looks very overwatered at the time of pictures. 😭 I will let her dry out for a few days now to see if that perks her up a bit.

What an amazing plant, was really a pain for me because it had weak branches and my lack of knowledge on this plants structure showed throughout the grow. Despite my shortcomings this plant did outstanding, I think it is the best Marijuana I’ve grown alongside the Lovers Moon and Nana plants Dipping into the stash 1 month into cure and it tastes amazing. Not harsh at all, smells of a powerfully dank herbally pine with hints of pepper in the aftertaste. 1-2 months more of cure and this plant will be at its peak she’s only getting started. I’ll still be dipping into the stash whenever I please at this point. Been putting alot of effort into my cure and keeping my jars fresh and below 58% rh My goal is 50-55. Have tried higher humidities in the past and had complaints or problems with the smell short and long term. So far the 50’s humidity has been doing well and you can tell the closer to 50 they get the better they smell. With time. I will try to upload edited pictures of the buds to make them closer to what I see with the naked eyee If you read all that I really appreciate your interest and know that photos are hard to take of frosty bud (: 🌞

Dit was een zeer positieve week waarin de toppen flink zijn opgepompt. Ze ziet er prachtig uit. Ik zal haar nog enkele dagen nutriënten meegeven voordat ik overstap naar alleen water met flawless finish. Dit zal de smaak ten goede komen omdat de grond word schoongespoeld van mineralen. Laten we kijken hoe ze zich verder ontwikkeld, ze is echt supersnel.

What a massive turnaround from last week! Mother Nature finally stopped teasing us and brought the summer heat. We had glorious, non-stop sunshine all week, with temperatures climbing all the way up to around 30°C. Training & The Stretch: 🌿 I’ve officially put the LST ties away. I didn't touch them at all this week. Looking at them, it feels like the majority of the flowering stretch is finally wrapping up. Now it’s all about stacking those buds! Feeding Update – Dialing in the Recipes: With the plants working overtime under the hot sun, the feeding schedule has been quite busy: Team Organic (Banana Purple Punch & Amnesia Haze): They got a full-course meal this week to support peak bloom. Alongside the tap water and CalMag, I added BioBizz Bio Bloom, Top-Max, and just a tiny dash of Fish-Mix to give the microbes a nice little energy boost. Team Mineral (Lemon Cherry Cookies & Bruce Banner): They are cruising along nicely on a steady diet of Hesi Bloom Complex paired with CalMag to keep everything perfectly green and balanced. Current Standings: 📏 Lemon Cherry Cookies: Still holding her crown as the undisputed giant at 70cm. She seems to have settled into her final height and is looking incredibly majestic. The Rest: Bruce Banner, Amnesia Haze, and Banana Purple Punch have used the sunshine to catch up beautifully. They are all sitting right around the 50cm mark now, looking sturdy, healthy, and ready for a spectacular show. The energy in the garden is amazing right now. Let’s hope this beautiful weather stays with us as the buds start filling out!

The strong

Well Everyone!! Here we are! 😁 Nearly at the end of the Eternity Grow Cup journey! 🙌🔥👽🙌🔥 Just want to first say a massive Thankyou to Zamnesia & Plagron for letting me compete in this contest. Would not be here without you! absolute legends😎 I had an absolute blast making the videos every week and showcasing the Grow Huge Thankyouuu to everyone who liked, followed and commented on the diary! I have been hooked for weeks on this! and its thanks to all you guys! haha Much love!! 💚💚 I Appreciate it soo much. 💚💚💚 I have Harvested 2 of the Runtz first which were darked out for 3 days in a 3x3. We have 3 more in flower for another week or 2 as they are little behind schedule! There are 2 plants which I will be flushing next week as they have really packed out now. We got 1 straggler but looks like she's fattening up good! and will follow suit very soon! 😎 🌳Plant 1 Harvested and Drying now The size of this momma Runtz is mad! After loosing one of the main stems in early flower, she powered through and made 2 massive fat colas! Hardly ran into any problems with this plant other than loosing a main stem which turned out to be glorious in the end! 💥 She is now drying in the 3x3. I'm aiming for 10 days drying. Smell is absolutely unreal! I would normally do longer but as I have took most of the main fan leaves off I think it will be a bit quicker this harvest. 🌳Plant 2 Harvested and Drying now - Another whopper! super sticky colas all over it! I decided to leave a few more fan leaves on this one for now but may take more this week aiming for 10 days again! couldn't' be happier with the results, Hardly ran into any nutrient problems throughout. We had a few pale leaves early flower due to overwatering but she soon recovered and powered through! Smells like victory! Could not be happier with the Results so far! 2 down 3 to go! cant wait to get a weigh on them fat colas! I will take some more snaps over the next few weeks and show the dried and final trimmed bud of the 2 harvested and hopefully get them uploaded before the contest time expires. First time using the Green Sensation from Plagron! I will 100% be investing in some more or maybe win some lmao! I can see a dramatic difference in Weight and health of the Autos grown! Green stems and healthy leaves , PHAT BUDS!!! 😜😜😜 3 more Plants to go not long now!!!! I Will add another flowering week in next 2 days and show the other 3 still in action! Going to Update this harvest page in the next 2 weeks with dry weigh results and Smoke review to follow!!

Very beginning of week 10. She is gearing up for flower. She is stretching, but I keep pulling everything down. She has been 36 inches for a month. She is about 41 wide. 8/13 Her pot was on the dry side. Gave her 2 gallons of water. I'd say 10 percent run off. I use the ph strips. I bring water home from my job. Their water is the perfect PH according to the strips. I test her run off today. Looks like a low 6. 8/14 2 gallons of water with 8 tablespoons of fox farm Big Bloom and 1 teaspoon of recharge. I do like the foxfarm products. Some Big Bloom can make a sick plant healthy. Have to check, think she is ready to be fed. 8/16 per 2 gallons 4 ml Grow Big, 4 ml Tiger Bloom 1/2 teaspoon Open Sesame 8/18 4 Tablespoons Foxfarm Bigbloom and 1/2 teaspoon recharge. Per Gallon 1 day I will get a ph meter. First year spent enough. The plants look very healthy. Unless the strips are completely worthless, she looks to be in her happy place. She was fed very well the past week. I might do 1 more water then feed. She is forming her sites. 8/13. Makes it easy to space the sites out. Also to know what to remove. Have to force myself to cut off what's not making it. Think flower.

Rempotage en 13 litres, pleine santé rien a signaler, jolie feuille fine et pointues avec de belles dentelure bien prononcé , plantes très élancé, les sept sont très belles, encore une semaine ou deux et floraison et j'ai hâte de voir sa ! #kannabia #madamegrow #trolmaster
