This week was good for the Cream auto. I performed some defoliation and undid the LST for a couple days as well as raised the lights to 24" to induce some stretching. I did selectively begin LST on the Cream towards the end of week 5. She has been getting 1/4 strength flower nutes and recieved a fresh top dressing of hot soil coco coir mix; as her roots were surfacing. So far so good. Atleast 20 budsites are visible and she has responded well to all the training and is coming into her stretch period. Now all we are waiting on is them white pistols to start shooting at the budsites. Hopefully week 6 will entail this! She should be at about half of her life span at this point. 4-5 weeks more of flower is expected before harvest.

The coco hempy buckets continue to impress. The rate of growth is just insane compared to the conservative nature of hand watered soilless mix. The girls are getting 2 heavy feedings daily, once right before lights on, once at lights off. Responding tremendously. The largest daughter has broken 4 feet this week and hopefully the stretch is coming to a close. Good thing for my headroom. I am having difficulty with humidity this week due in part to the weather, but I feel mostly because of an underpowered ac and mucho transpiration coming from the leaves. Set for second round defoliation in three days and hopefully some break from the heat. Struggling to keep the room under 70 rh right now.

Hello my friends, ...April 11, 2022....Day N°30... Beginning of the fifth week of growth for my two Feminized Royal THCV. There are fine and beautiful, there are the biggest plants of the tent. The topped plant seems love it. www.royalqueenseeds.com www.mars-hydro.com Thank you very much for passing by. Wish you the best with your green projects, peace. See you soon 💨💨💨

She's doing so good after being topped and lst.

👋🏻 All growing well! I have let them grow naturally this week without much interference. I have been rotating the pots every few days and have also added another lower fan to help with airflow. Today I added some sticks to help open the canopy and I plan over the next week to start securing some branches down with wire along with some light defoliation. ✌️🌱☘️

.

She is fattening up slowly but surely, pure water from now on. The light times have also been reduced to 10 hours to speed up the growth as I need the grow room quite quick and this strain is taking longggg and she stinks the whole street out when the windows are open! ( I can't smell it because I'm used to it lol) Some light over the horizon as pistils are starting to turn brown at lower levels somewhat and trichomes becoming more cloudier whilst earlier trichomes turn an Amber like colour. Fox tail issue has been somewhat resolved by increasing ventilation and reducing light power via the dimmer. Here's to flushing!! 609 ppm and 1168 us/cm 25.0 degrees celcius

The girls are starting to stack it on now and are very floral and fruity smelling. Still plenty of white pistils coming out making for a beautiful contrast to the very deep purple almost black flowers and a few of the fan leaves are starting to fade. Halfway down the home stretch and having high hopes for some baseball bats! I’m definitely putting the screws to them in the nutrient department at a touch over 2400 ppm with the addition of the beastie blooms -0-50-30 at 1/2 tablespoon per gallon along with the rest of the flora series. Not even a tip burnt so I continue to push the envelope. Thanks for looking.

So These girls are doing great in my unprofessional opinion lol. they all look like they could use a cleanup but man if I come at them again like Sweeny Todd I don't think they will make it haha. This is rolling into week 3 so I'm going to wait just a couple of days and then I'm going to hard Lolipop and defoliate just a wee tad more. I'm just worried I could herm one out and I don't really know what to do with that situation. I've been playing around with Great White and that's been fun but aside from that, I'm just weaving these tops through squares. those corners could be a problem but let me know in the comments if you think I need additional light in the center or your thoughts. OH, I ALMOST FRGT LOL! so I mixed microflora and aqua flakes B together and the plants might have sat in that while I cried for an hour over the hundreds in nutrients I just ruined lol. I dumped the system and redid it though so we gucci

Let’s see what the future holds for these lady’s

Week 14: Final Countdown (Flower Week 9) 🍌🥊 We’ve reached the final ripening! This Banana Purple Punch Auto by @FastBuds is finishing its 14th week from seed and its 9th week in full bloom. At this stage, it's no longer about volume; it’s all about ripening, resin density, and terpene complexity. 💎 Living Soil Performance: Following the 9 Cardinal Parameters, my focus is currently on: • VPD & Humidity: Keeping humidity low (around 40-45%) to drive transpiration and protect these dense, frosty buds from any late-stage issues. 🌬️ • Temperature: Dropping the night temps to 18–19°C to encourage those deep purple hues. The anthocyanins are really putting on a show! 💜 • Nutrients: No flush needed! In a true Living Soil setup, the plant naturally senesces as the soil microbiome slows down nitrogen availability while still providing essential minerals for trichome maturation. The "autumn fade" is looking beautiful. 🍂 Trichome Status: 🔬 Observation shows about 85% still not ready and 10–15% milky. I’m looking for that perfect "sweet spot" to capture the full sedative punch and overripe banana flavor. 🍌 It’s been an incredible journey with this organic ecosystem. The plant is incredibly sticky and the smell is overpowering. Harvesting very soon! One love growmies 🧑🏻‍🌾

Well still on auto pilot for the most part. Giving her a daily feeding till run off of the nutes my other girls are using. Other than that I'm just checking on her daily. The main cola is big, fat and pretty dense. Not the hardest but everything considering I'm really happy. It's about the look anyway when it comes to cannabonsi plants. Finished the roll of butt wipe so that looks pretty cool. Hope to harvest next weekend but we will see. Thanks for following this has been a fun grow.

She is also experiencing a general yellowing all over. I contacted Advanced Nutrients support and they consulted me to increase the feeding. Let’s see how it goes. On the other hand, she keeps growing buds. Looks like stunned a little. That’s why I am waiting another 2 days for lollipoping.

10-8-2024 TOP DRESSING AND WORM TEA..... NOTHING MORE 10-9-2024 22ND DAYS INTO FLOWERING SMELLS CRAZY ON THESE STRAIN GETTING SOME SNOW ON TOP LET'S GO 10-11-2024 DO NOT HAVE ANY PEST BUT JUST IN CASE NATURESGOODGUYS HOOK ME UP WITH LADYBUGS JUST GOT HANGING PATCH ABOUT /WITH SHIPPING 10-14-24 NOTHING TO DO...JUST WATER (PH6.6)AND WATCHING THE PLANTS....... COPY CAT GENETIX STRAINS ARE CRAZY!!!!!!!!

25/05/26 update**** Won't be another update til middle of June as I'm away with work. Apologies. We have now got an autofeeder setup from spiderfarmer for next few weeks. Going to be 13 weeks Veg. 💪💪💪 We're in the 3x3 tent now under an SF4000 3 more weeks of veg then we flip em too 12 hours flowering! 4x4 tent will be free soon so we get more space To train and keep em low. Want to get an even canopy before flower if possible.

All pics are from the 1st day of each week I upped the nutes considerably this week saw some weird spots forming on several of the plants just figured it was nute lock so i drained a gallon of water from the affected plant and replaced with basic ro ph balanced water to dilute was this the rt thing to do? Will be doing only 50% nutes from here on

Seeing some initial plumping by FD 30 and even more in the current pictures. BBxGS - going strong and similar to previous plants of this strain. Grandpa's Stash - Loving the aromas. Except for 1 plant, definitely the fastest development rate so far Banana Hammock - The primary cause of the massive stink throughout my house, I think. Also develioping quickly. Overall, the plants are healthy. Some blemishes here or there. Had some trouble keeping up with RH, so I removed some leaves. I have been topping off the 3 hammocks and 2 bbxgs plants with plain water immediately following a fertigation. They were lookin too lush. I've done this 5-6 times over the last week and adding less than a 1/2 gallon to each. However, i think the night time temps dropping to 67-68F are the cause at this point and i am seeing purple creep into leaves not a toxicity. Have had some minor tip paling on 1 of the hammocks for at least 7-10 days, but it never progressed. If i get some exotic colors in these as they progress, i don't think this is necessarily a nute-related issue at this point. I upped K ppm when i initially saw it, but only slightly. Think these plants are just on the dark side. Thinking these will have dark purple leaves like my Dinafem OG Cookies grow. Even so, will continue to dilute just in case on the darker plants and cease doing that if i see a hint of deficiency. While trichome production has been great from an early stage of flower, I've been a bit disappointed by it lately. The ethos plants seem to be lagging a bit, but also seeing it on stems and petioles. The bbxgs plants continue to cake it on. I don't smoke stems, petioles or leavs, so it isn't a major concern. All that matters is the aerial density of trichomes on the calyxes. I'm sure they'll be okay. The smell is really intense for the last week. My house smells like it is harvest day, every day. Love it! Climate pics added / update - You can see where dehum settings change at end of day. It can barely keep up when plants are trasnpiring. I had to remove leaves in order for it to maintain 50% during lights on. Temps are consistent as long as outside weather isn't unusually warm. Like I've said before, probably operating a bit too high in VPD, but concentration of fertilizer is reduced slightly and the VPD at the leaf, where it matters, is probably a bit lower than these readings. Probe is 6" under canopy and would be more accurate if placed in the middle of it. Night time VPD used to be equal or even a bit higher before i started trackign this stuff. I've got that flipped back to normal, but no idea if that is a benefit or just my own OCD. According to what i've read, it shouldn't be more than .4 kPa below daytime VPD. At least that part has some research behind it as to why. A week of tweaking behaviours and settings at specific points in time has lead to as consistent of an environment as i'm going to get relatiave to what i'm willing to invest (time/effort). The night time graphs are an hour short because they are of the day of this update. Close enough for display purposes. I will make a spreadsheet that will link to the exported date file of the probe at some point. For now the graphs in the app are good enough. I want to collect a lot more data in future. Start to figure out just how impactful some of this is or is not. Ambient weather outside, growth measured in multiple ways (height / number of nodes), incremental use of water/fertilizer electricity (already have a good guage of this) etc etc.. Gonna do a full statstilal analysis andn regression of various factors over time... come back in 10-20 years, LOL. Then again, may proclivity for laziness may be a factor too.

Well well well those flowers are huuge smeels like very strong sticky bomb gas wow amazing frosty as hell too
