5/11 Topping these girls! Let's get growing....... 5/15 Topped and new growth is loving life!

Amazing week, my first ever harvest for the 1 gallon gorilla glue auto. I was afraid to wait any longer as she had nearly no leaves left. She did have alot of milky Trichomes but still some clear around, few amber. Currently drying and awaiting results. I was unable to get an accurate wet wait as I left the stalk and all. I tried my best and saw 126g go across the scale but I just layed it quick before it fell over. I'm hoping 1/2 ounce usable yield when dry as it was not nearly as dense as I thought. The other plants are much more dense and continue to harder so I will be waiting as long as they need. They are very healthy. Praying they finish with high quality. 🙏 GSCE is VERY dense feeling though and GG 2 gal is catching up but not super solid yet. BB still taking her good ole time. Maybe within a month ? I sure hope because I'm running out of time for this project until summer. Praying for a fast , solid finish! 🙏 Less than 2 weeks for sure for GG & GSCE , they are extremely covered and mostly milky just some clear still and not enough amber. I have lowered the light an inch every day or so for the last few days. I'm now breaching the limit but still a hair of room. Hoping I can achieve the 10-30% amber and have something special. Stay tuned

Welcome back in the 8th week of flowering with Dutch Passion’s Colorado Cookies. She is ripening good, buds are rock solid and covered in trichomes, such a beauty. The smell is exactly what I hoped for, the Cookies characteristic as we all know from the GSC. Last Sunday I gave her the last bits of nutrients, so this week is flushing till Sunday, Sunday will be harvest day!! I noticed that this one Colorado Cookies less to almost non purple than the rest, since most of the GSC genetics do have purple in them. But it doesn’t matter im happy with how the buds look and smell. Cant wait to have a taste! After this one is cut down ill put the other 2 cookies straight in the flower room for at least 1 week maby 2 depends on how well they will perform in there. My next grow will take place first or second week of December, in the meantime I will chooce a new strain to grow and prepare the next grow. This time I will perfom my first real ScrOG and combine it with the airdome underneath my pot (they say you can improves your yield by 20-30%). So it got my attention and im very curious about the results. That’s it for now see you all back on Sunday harvest day!!

She is coming along great. Showing some good early trichome production and smelling great.

The plant was looking a bit sad after transplant and the defoliation and training I've been doing. The shape is looking quite good now so I'll leave it alone to do its thing for a couple of weeks before flipping to flower.

🌸🌿 Week 3: Blooms Unleashed! 😁 The stretch has gracefully come to an end, and now, the buds are making their grand entrance! 😁 Standing tall, our Lemon Orange proves to be a formidable presence, prompting the need for some strategic topping and ScrOG to keep its height in check. Growth Management: Given its impressive stature, a little intervention with topping and ScrOG is in order to ensure the plant stays within bounds. It's all about orchestrating the dance of growth. Aromas in Bloom: As the buds unfurl, so do the enchanting aromas. A symphony of citrus notes fills the air, signaling the flourishing flower stage. The pace is exhilarating, promising a delightful harvest in the making. Nutrient Nurturing: In the spirit of balance, I've opted for a mindful approach, utilizing only 80% of the recommended nutrients by Terra Aquatica. It's a careful dance to provide just what our Lemon Oranges needs for optimal growth and flavor development. The stage is set, and our Lemon Orange beauties are gearing up for a floral spectacle. With each passing week, the anticipation for the harvest grows, and the journey unfolds in a crescendo of green and citrusy bliss! 🌼🍊🌿

Solo cup challenge continues to press along. Not much change, plants are in veg, growing and healthy. Still a few weeks before the flowers start so I hope to get a bit of size going before it does. Having fun and really like looking at the other entries in this contest. Check out WildeWeed, Butterstotch and BeanswithPork, silky, larimar, fireman

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/

This week started strong. Some small concerns due to small orange spots appearing on fan leaves which on researching indicates a calcium/magnesium deficiency. Will add a small amount of cal mag to their next feed

It was a good week, with some good growth. The ladies have settled in and are a starting to reach up. I’ve been keeping the environment steady at about 78 degrees, and 60-62% humidity. It goes down to about 70 degrees at night. I’ve been watering sparingly still, about 1 cup of water every third day. Near the end of the week they were getting 2 cups and have lasted more than two days without showing they are needing again. I decreased the light schedule to 18 hours, and they seem to be benefiting from the dark cycle, or less DLI. LST will start next week! Happy Gardening 🇨🇦👊❤️

Beautifully looking buds with certain purple tones showing off in some pistils and also in some leafs, very good sweet fragrance coming from the flowrs, smells just like the other 2 aks420 I'm growing, looks like it's a very stable strain! Very recomended 👨‍🌾😋🌸 stay tuned guys! 💯🧡💚

✋Wk10: Playing the guessing game and learning is doing. 👉I started the week knowing I needed to do more of a full low EC rinse. I have been noticing purple stems around both plants spreading. As the week started the stems also started spreading on to some of the veins. The upper leaves started looking lighter green colored and by mid-week some yellowing spots and some very small brown spots on some of the upper leaves of the 3 gallon. The one gallon was getting more burned leaf tips. Until the yellowing splotches and small brown specks I was suspecting low Magnesium. I was compensating by adding a little extra cali-magic to the low ec solution I use to adjust the ec of the solution I fertigate with. But as the yellowing spread I knew I was wrong about something, so a little more searching and I may have nitrogen toxicity AND Phosphorus deficiency. The upper leaves on the 3 gallon plant were also showing a bit of ‘clawing’ which was pointing at the Phosphorus shortfall. So I may be wrong, but Ill only know by doing. So I did a large low EC rinse that was pH’d with the regular dosage of liquid Koolbloom, on both plants at the end of the week. I’ll continue to fertigate with a lower EC solution that will have the Koolbloom mixed at full strength. I may discard the current solution batches and remix fresh with less of the Flora Micro, more of the Flora Bloom and Liquid Koolbloom. It may all stem from not doing low EC fertigations as a matter of routine. Perhaps the Nitrogen was building up because there wasn’t a regular higher volume rinse. The Low EC rinse dropped the EC of the run-off right away. I know the common practice is to have routine low EC rinses, but I wasn’t having high EC run-off and it was stable, so I was trying to keep the nutrient level in the media at optimum levels. Doing one plant at a time is a very slow way to learn. I do read lots of science related gardening articles as well as scientifically inclined cannabis articles. I don’t look at too many forums because most of these people must be high ;) 👉I finally got around to clearing out some of the lower leaves from the 3 gallon plant and removing some of the leaves and shaded buds sites under the dome. Its still a thick tangled jungle. But more manageable. Doing tucking to give cola sights light. The buds are bulking up. The first signs of frost have appeared as well. Hopefully I can level out the nutritional needs and the buds will be fine. The trunk of the 3 gallon has gotten very thick. Its a work of natural engineering to support the plant. The branches are also very stout and strong. 👉The 1 gallon is making some potentially nice colas. Each branch is a long cola covered with buds. Ive added a little support to some of the branches, even though the branches dont need the support yet. The aroma is creamy caramel. Its almost bizarre to me. The plant has the light skunkyness that is typical of cannabis in flower, but that aroma is the undertone of the dominant smell, which is creamy caramel. Such a strange and wonderful combination of smells is almost as intoxication as the gorilla glue I grew last spring. The trichomes are mostly clear with cloudy ones making a showing.

Changed HPS light for a Leds one. This Voost Leds are really good for veg and on low setting, let's try it on full for El Patron! Just added handful worm castings and half of bat guano. I really started to enjoy looking at her flowering, long stretch and immature buds in formation, calixes are not many but those are bigger the norm, and hair are short. I like big Calyxes and short hair! 😁 That is it, thank you for following!

Day 70 The plants are in their 10th week and stacking nicely. Buds are dense, frosty, and starting to show that heavy, mature look. Trichomes are cloudy on most parts, and the smell has intensified a lot. Unfortunately, today I noticed a problem: one of the colas showed signs of bud rot (Botrytis). This happened because my exhaust fan (carbon filter system) was off for about 4 hours, which caused humidity to spike inside the tent. I immediately removed the affected bud and cut a bit deeper into the healthy tissue to make sure no rot remains. From now on I’ll be extra careful with airflow and humidity: Keeping RH below 50% Checking the fan setup twice a day Adding extra circulation inside the tent The rest of the plant looks healthy and unaffected, but I’ll monitor closely every day. This is the stage where dense flowers are most vulnerable. Overall, despite this setback, the grow is going well. The harvest window is getting close, and if everything stays clean, it should still be a solid yield.
