Greetings, fellow cultivators! Week 10 marks the zenith of our incredible journey with the Big Cheese Auto, and it's like witnessing a grand finale in a botanical symphony. A heartfelt salute to Seeds Mafia for the genetics that have led us to this captivating moment. Our green queen is gracefully fading into the final chapters of her life, akin to the changing seasons. The Autopot system, our faithful companion, has been the guardian throughout this journey, ensuring a nutrient dance that sculpted the masterpiece before us. It's like the closing act of a green odyssey. As we approach the grand finale, all additional feedings have come to a serene end. Our Big Cheese Auto is now sipping pure water, a gentle transition as she readies herself for the final curtain call. It's like allowing the plant to gracefully bow out, showcasing the culmination of her life's work. The transformation is mesmerizing! The colors are shifting like the changing leaves of autumn, a poetic reflection of the plant's life cycle. It's like witnessing nature's artwork unfold, with hues of green, purple, and amber blending seamlessly. Each leaf tells a story, a testament to the plant's resilience and the seasons it has weathered. The trichomes are now a sparkling crown, each one a testament to the plant's potency. Their production, color, and shape are in perfect harmony, signaling the imminent harvest. It's like a field of glistening diamonds, a visual ode to the journey we've embarked upon. As a prelude to the final act, all feedings have ceased. Our Big Cheese Auto now drinks pure water, allowing her to express her true essence in these concluding moments.

Going good with some potash burning, and i left with flova bloom Complete Organics is real PK booster

April 8 - added a few more pics of lights ;) Brought to u by Mars Hydro. Grow on Earth. Grow with Mars. All pics and video flower day 56. Lights are running at ~60%. 18” away from canopy. Can’t wait for her to finish. Hope u enjoy the pics

day 14 flower and those buds are just starting to peak out! the plant is happy and healthy :)

Hello everyone, Well the greenhouse is packed.and hard to move around in so I did a little video... See you guys next week.... 🤘🤘🤙🤙👍👍

Monster 😈💚

Set up a second 3x3 tent and put GGs in one tent, BBs in the second. Alternating watering and nutrients every 48 hours. PH 6.3 for both.

I turned on the second light and added the scrog net this week to begin doing LST. Pinched all the new tops that were starting to come up so I get more of those precious main colas. She's loving the extra 150w of light, growth has really started to explode. Now I'm working on evening out the canopy height so that everything is even when I flip to flower. The fun has begun.

Finally got a bigger tent. They are much happier. Almost seems like it put them fully into flowering. I'm feeding around 1200 ec but the runoff keeps climbing to almost double. I will flush to about 800. Within a few days it's back up to 2000 Ec. Am I missing something here??

Se secaron rápido. Los cocos son pegajosos y tienen aroma muy fuerte. En humedo me dio 150g en total. Tengo que esperar que se sequen para ya saber el resultado final.

​📖 Chroniques de l'Oasis : La Marque Blanche ​🐪 Chapitre 9 : Les joyaux de la sultane ​Date : 2 avril 2026 Âge : Mi-Floraison Taille : 62 cm ( +16 cm ) ​Après des jours de marche dans l'immensité du Rif, j'atteins enfin la lisière. L'Oasis n'est plus un mirage lointain, c'est un mur de verdure luxuriante qui se dresse devant moi. La Sultane a grandi, elle mesure maintenant 62 cm. Ce n'est plus une promesse, c'est une grande dame parée de ses plus beaux bijoux : de grandes perles blanches — ces pistils étincelants — qui s'accumulent sur ses branches comme un trésor ancestral. ​Je quitte le sable nu pour m'enfoncer sous son feuillage. L'air change, chargé de son parfum de plus en plus envoûtant. La petite lumière blanche, cette étoile qui me guidait, approche. Elle brille désormais au travers des feuilles, m'indiquant le cœur du sanctuaire. Chaque pas dans cette végétation me rapproche du secret final. ​🏜️ État de l'Oasis ​Le climat de la vallée est parfait, stable et protecteur : ​Température : Jour 25°C / Nuit 21°C (La chaleur idéale pour que la Sultane s'épanouisse sans transpirer). ​Humidité : 50% (Un air sec et pur pour protéger les perles blanches de la moisissure). ​Lumière : Intensité 75% à 65 cm (Le soleil artificiel frappe fort, mais avec juste assez de distance pour ne pas brûler sa couronne). ​Vigueur : Une croissance de 16 cm depuis notre dernière rencontre. La structure épurée porte ses fruits. ​ L'Élixir de vie (Nutrition) ​Pour que la Sultane puisse porter le poids de sa beauté, je lui ai versé un nouvel élixir de force : ​Mélange : 2 ml de PK 5-8 dans 1 litre d'eau. ​Précision : Ajusté à un pH de 6,3. ​Le but : Donner le signal du gonflement. Le Phosphore et le Potassium vont transformer ces perles blanches en diamants de résine compacts. ​ L'Analyse ​: ​La Formation des Bud : les "perles blanches" sont magnifiques. Les fleurs se structurent très bien. On voit que les entre-nœuds sont courts, ce qui va créer des têtes denses et continues. C'est le résultat direct du LST passé et de la gestion de la lumière. ​La Santé des Feuilles :Le vert est profond et uniforme. Je remarque sur certaines pointes de feuilles un très léger jaunissement (vraiment minime). C'est le signe que tu es à la limite parfaite de la nutrition : elle mange tout ce que tu lui donnes, elle est au maximum de son métabolisme. ​L'Espace et la Pénétration : le nettoyage du bas (lollipopping) porte ses fruits. On voit que l'air circule parfaitement sous la jupe de la Sultane. À 50% d'humidité, c'est une autoroute pour la santé. Les têtes du milieu reçoivent autant de lumière que celles du haut. 📜 Anecdote du Rif : La "Touiza" et le Chant du Tamis ​Dans les villages perchés du Rif, comme à Ketama ou Chefchaouen, la culture n'est pas un travail solitaire, c'est un acte sacré appelé la "Touiza" (l'entraide communautaire). Les anciens racontent que lors de la récolte, on ne frappe jamais le tamis pour extraire la résine n'importe comment. Il existe un rythme spécifique, presque une transe. Les habitants croient que la plante possède la "Baraka" (la bénédiction divine). Si le cultivateur est en colère ou s'il brusque la plante, la Baraka s'enfuit et la résine perd son éclat et son pouvoir. Note du Nomade : "Le sable est loin derrière. Sous la canopée de la Sultane, je ne marche plus, je contemple. Les perles de demain seront les étoiles de mes nuits.​ 06/04 je lui est apporté son élixir de vie 4 mi de pk 5-8 dans 1 litres d'eau PH 6,3 merci à tous pour votre suivi et vos likes . thank you all for you likes et follow danke schon fur alles à la semaine prochaine

Healthy - Strong Day 21 _ 05.ey.19 3 weeks end :)

Finally back to it!

Timelapse! I've meant to get a timelapse camera set up since I first started this grow. I am reasonably confident that future weeks will include full-week timelapses. For most of this week, my plant has seemed to have stopped growing. It got to a point where the leaves were becoming wilted, which prompted me to add nutrients. I was a bit skeptical regarding whether it was a good time to do this, or if I would be adding nutrients prematurely. All has seemed to have gone well with the nutrients, as the next day the leaves perked up substantially. Mid week, I changed the light schedule form 18/6 to 20/4 because I figured more light would enable better growth. Currently, I am puzzled as to why the leaves have developed some light and dark splotches. Could this be a result of light stress? EDIT (in response to my leaf spotting question): Thanks to those who have responded to my leaf spotting question! I have raised the light from 18.5in (I never measured it until now) to the recommended 24in. There is no chance of nutrient solution getting on the leafs to cause the spotting, but I did spray the tent with water + (dilute) hydrogen peroxide in an attempt to raise the humidity. Maybe this is the cause? I am currently battling the relative humidity. As someone mention, it is low! If i plug in my room-humidifier, the humidity will get way to high (80%+). I've placed an open container of tap water + hydrogen peroxide mix in the tent, but it doesn't appear to do much! I'd like to note here that I am using liquid indicator drops for my pH, so the pH is only my best measurement at the time of mixing solution. My pH may not be as low as I indicated this week! I think I'll throw in some tap water in lieu of cal-mag supplements,. I figure my city's hard water may be of benefit here!

Impressed with this plant. Only grew it under a cheap LED and it did really well. Harvested ~92G of prime bud plus an ounce of frosty trim which will be made into bubble hash. Will be interesting to see how much more it would yield under better lights. Nugs are dense, frosty and the hit from this strain is hard. Night time smoke. Will grow again. EDIT: As it cured, this just got better and better. Best weed I have grown, even better than the Wedding Gelato, which was incredible. Popped another seed straight away. Update after 12 days curing (See video): Gorilla gonna knock you out, son! Wow! This aint no friendly Disney Gorilla. This is a Dominant male Silverback with zero respect! These buds are dense and sticky after 12 days with a 62% humidipack in a Mason burping daily for the first week. Will def grow this again. Hardest hitting and as smooth as anything I've ever grown, too. Damn!

Edit from 19th May. Literally 00:09 Pre-Flowering. Fat Banana looks like Hermie. Royal Critical = clean pre-flower. Edit from 19th May. 16:26 Fat Banana had balls sack and pistils growing all over the place. I nuked everything that had balls on it. I left only top node with pistils. Royal Critical is full of pistils, no balls. Now I wish I had photoperiod seeds instead of automatics. I would give Critical 1 extra week in veg. She is around 10-15cm smaller then Fat Banana. I switched the lights back to 400W. Edit from 20th May. 14:45 I think 32C is maximum what these plants can handle. With 600W I was reaching 34C on some top leaves and that could possibly turn the Fat Banana into hermit (she was the tallest). I open the tent a little (front doors), I put big-ass fan on second gear blowing strong wind through the mesh-window of a tent. I put the lights straight up to the ceiling, I literally can't put them any higher. Fat banana is now 58cm tall and around 80cm away from the light. Royal Critical is now 41cm tall and around 100cm away from the light. 50% Humidity 28C under the canopy/on the ground under the leaves 31C Air temperature. Fat Banana fan leaves temperature: 28.5C Fat Banana center/middle of the plant: 30.9C Royal Critical fan leaves temperature: 27.5C Royal Critical center/middle of the plant: 27.8C NOTE: Royal Critical ugly/yellow leaves have higher temp: 29-30C The rest of small plants range from 28 and 32C Surface area/soil temperature DRY: 35C Surface/Soil temp. WET/SHADOW: 28-29C That pistol/laser for checking temps was solid purchase. I can see back of my tent is more hot then other areas. Will do more Temp-Checks in the future. I also deleted few things from "Condition" tab because one day they are correct, the other something change and the info is not accurate anymore. I'll update info here in edits. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Farm Control Sheet Date: 20th May 2024 Time: 16:57 Tent status: Side doors little bit open. Both windows fully open.

Edit from 22th May. @ 13:10 Nothing changes. Plants are happy and praying to their god ( me ofc :) ) Same temps Same RH I watered them yesterday after long days/weeks of dry season (cuz of FuckYouGnats). Edit from 23th May. @ 11:40am Same temps or even a bit lower then in last two days. I like it. I closed 85% of windows in tent (door fully closed) to create negative pressure that's gonna suck out the hot air. It seems to work better than what I did yesterday. Today I gave them second dose of nematodes. There is really very little Fungus Gnats around now. Sometimes, occasionally one or two "teenagers" or "baby" Gnats would fly out from bottom of pot or top of the soil after watering but that's like nothing comparing to what I had at the beginning. Shit-ton of yellow-sticky-tape does the job as well, just put it everywhere you can. / What I'm singing to Lady Banan? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OZEddFi1W8k / What I'm singing to Lady Banan? Edit from 23th May @ 2pm So I'm reading about VPD now and I think, this is what is happening in my tent right now. High temps but RH at right levels makes the plant comfy in that zones. Right now plants sitting at 30.6C @ 55% RH So I'm sitting at 1.27 VPD? If I could lower my temps to 29C and keep RH at 55% that would be 1.20 VPD (which would be perfect) N o t B a d R o o k I e Edit from 24th May @ 11:24 am So in last 3 days the temperature outside my house is dropping + raining. So that means I have perfect VPD in my tent now. We are sitting at 30C @ 50-55% RH. Most plants have praying leaves, even Lady Banan stops being moody and just start fucking flowering like it should. Finally. But I can see she wanna grow even more upwards, like wtf, this is not 3 meter tent, its only 2.2m, chill the freaking out Lady Banan... Im gonna have literal forest if the rest of Bananas would grow like that. As you can see I'm kinda happy with the grow now. Fungus Gnats still present but under control. Yellow Sticky tape, especially under the mesh window, the tape is catching fuck-ton of these motherfuckers. Few days ago I did "Very Light Stress Training" with Royal Critical. So I basically just tackle the fan leaves in the way, where, when fan leaves are growing bigger, they push the side branches more to the outside (apologize for my English but you can check out the pictures and see what I mean). So she is training by her self, alone, with the power of nature = and it works, she is opening more and more every 2 days. Edit from 25th May @ 21:53 Yoyoyoyoyoyo! So my ADHD and Bipolar kicks in so Idgaf about temps, its colder, around 29C @ 45% They got a lot of fresh air today, I was "luchting" today. I think I had to water them today but... Will do tomorrow morning. I'm thinking about Pimpology classes for myself, for better communication with the bitches, you know what I mean... They ain't thickening up if they aint stressing! Edit from 26th May. Sunday. 7am DOUBLE DROP NEVER STOP LET THAT BEAUTY POP 69 PLANT SIZE: BANAN = 72CM CRITICAL = 65CM 😎
