Hello everyone 🌱 I’m writing this while walking by the sea, reflecting on the next run. I’m currently smoking some White Russian from my last grow, and I have to say… it really surprised me. I’ve always had a simple philosophy: life is short, so I try to grow as many different strains as possible instead of repeating the same ones. But this time, Serious Seeds really got me. White Russian, Bubblegum, AK-47… these are not just strains, they have a very strong identity. In particular, I found a White Russian phenotype that I would definitely keep and grow again. I regret not cloning it. That experience made me appreciate even more the work behind these genetics. Each strain expresses something unique, both in structure and effects, and that’s something I’m starting to understand more deeply. ⸻ About this run I honestly didn’t expect this opportunity. I reached out to Serious Seeds without big expectations, and they gave me the chance to test one of their new strains: 👉 Fruity Durban (Serious Mimosa × Durban) This is currently a test strain, so I’ll be growing it almost completely blind. I deliberately avoided researching too much about it. I want to observe it for what it is, without external influence. ⸻ Constraints & approach Due to where I live, I can only run one plant, which means I won’t be able to explore different phenotypes or evaluate stability. So this will be a more focused test, centered on a single expression. At the same time, this run will be more challenging than usual: • I’ll likely be harvesting in mid-summer • high temperatures could impact terpene preservation and plant stress ⸻ Living soil system I grow in a living soil system (113L pot), which I like to think of as a bioreactor. Before starting, I reactivated the soil by: • adding fresh worm castings • light top dress amendments • reintroducing clover as cover crop The goal is to rebuild microbial activity before transplanting. ⸻ Philosophy for this run Unlike my previous grow, where yield was very high, this time I want to focus on: 👉 terpene expression and overall quality For this reason, I’m considering a very light-touch approach: • minimal training • possibly a single topping (to avoid excessive main cola density) • otherwise letting the plant express itself naturally I don’t want to interfere too much. I want to observe. ⸻ Germination I started by placing the seed directly in a glass of water. I decided not to use H₂O₂ this time, in my experience it can help, but it’s not essential. Now we wait. ⸻ I’m really curious to see how this strain will behave in this environment, especially in these conditions. This will be a journey focused on observation, learning, and quality over quantity. Let’s see what comes out of it 🌱

Not going to grown this one so soon. There are plenty of better option from this seed bank. Could not reach buds as good as they ones from hulkberry. It's a bigger plant with more banana like buds and not so dense and round. But still a strong high and enjoyable smoke.

I think a beginner can grow this plant easy because of its resistance and the fact that doesn’t need much care.If you make it to the end you will get incredible result for the first time.

Dates aren't lining up well since I didn't document the germination process . From now on each new post will start with what day the plants are on e.g "Day 20" Day 46 They have grown a lot since last week event though I've neglected them a little. They're showing signs of what I believe to be a nitrogen and phosphorus deficiency. Maybe some cal-mag too. I let them dry back too far a couple times in the past week. I probably should've transplanted sooner, but here we are! Transplanted into 5 gallon plastic pots with extra drainage holes drilled into the bottom. I have not been good recently with taking pictures and note keeping. My process for transplanting was the same as the 1 gallon process. I mixed together FFHF potting soil with roughly 15% worm castings, and roughly a 3-4 cups of perlite. Gently removing the plants from the 1 gallon pot; I used a water bottle to wet the root mass with some de-chlorinated tap water ph'd to 6.5. I then evenly distributed a heaping tablespoon of Xtreme Gardening Mykos Mycorrhizae over the moistened root mass. Into the middle of pre filled 5 gallon pot, I added a little more Mykos before inserting the plant into it's new home. I added more soil mixture and lightly packed them in. Then I watered 1.5L of plain de-chlorinated tap water ph'd to 6.5. No defoliation, I'm letting them bounce back after transplanting. In hindsight they definitely needed a feeding of nutrient solution and an increase in volume watered as well. Whoops.

**Semaine 6 : Sixième Semaine de Floraison – Phase Bulking (25-31 mars 2026)** **Note :** Mise à jour hebdomadaire complète. Tout est RAS, les plantes sont en pleine forme et le bulking se passe parfaitement. Données regroupées TrolMaster + GrowOps (semaine 6 / semaine 10 globale). ### Contexte et Objectifs de la Semaine On est maintenant en plein cœur du **bulking** (gonflement massif des buds). Le stretch est terminé depuis plusieurs semaines, l’énergie de la plante est entièrement redirigée vers le remplissage des calices, la production de résine et la densité florale. Steering : **végétatif maintenu** (irrigations fréquentes, runoff 20-30 %, dryback modéré 8-12 % la nuit, VWC stable). Objectifs : maximiser le volume et la densité des buds, booster la résine avec UV 90 min/jour, maintenir une stabilité parfaite des paramètres jusqu’au pic de trichomes (semaines 7-8). **Petit point éducatif : Pourquoi le bulking est la phase la plus importante en flo ?** Après le stretch (semaines 1-4), la plante passe en mode « remplissage ». C’est là que l’on gagne le plus en poids final. Le steering végétatif (irrigations fréquentes + VWC plus haut) permet une meilleure absorption des nutriments et une expansion cellulaire maximale dans les buds. À ce stade, l’ajout de **PK 13/14 + Sugar Royal + Green Sensation + Pure Zym + Silica Force + Cal-Mag Amino** est idéal : - PK 13/14 → phosphore/potassium pour la formation des fleurs et la résine - Sugar Royal → sucres et carbohydrates qui augmentent le poids et les terpènes - Green Sensation + Pure Zym → bio-stimulants + enzymes qui améliorent l’uptake racinaire et la santé microbienne en coco - Silica Force + Cal-Mag Amino → renforcement cellulaire et prévention des carences classiques en flo (Ca/Mg) Le tout à EC 2.6 et pH 5.8-6.0 donne un équilibre parfait sans risque de lockout ou de burn. ### Observations des Plantes La plante dominante (la plus belle) mesure maintenant **150 cm** de hauteur. Elle a clairement pris le dessus avec une structure énorme, une canopée dense mais bien aérée et une vigueur exceptionnelle. Le stretch est complètement terminé (+10 cm seulement la semaine dernière, stabilisation totale). Les buds grossissent rapidement, les calices s’épaississent, les trichomes deviennent de plus en plus visibles et brillants sur les sites supérieurs. Pistils encore majoritairement blancs mais commencent à s’enrouler. Santé générale : excellente, vert profond, aucune feuille jaune ou brûlée, zéro pest, zéro stress, zéro carence ou excès. La plante secondaire suit bien. Clones toujours très vigoureux. Les plantes sont concentrées à 100 % sur le gonflement des fleurs. ### Paramètres Environnementaux (TrolMaster + GrowOps – synthèse semaine 6) - **Température jour** : 20-23 °C (moyenne live 23.3 °C, cible 24 °C) - **Température nuit** : 18-20 °C - **Humidité jour** : 60-70 % (live 58.9 %, cible 62 %) - **Humidité nuit** : 49-59 % - **VPD** : 0.8-1.2 kPa (live 0.94 kPa → parfait pour bulking) - **PPFD moyen** : 750-777 (max 814) → DLI 32 mol/m²/jour (optimal) - **UV Light** : 90 min/jour (augmenté cette semaine) - **Far Red Light** : 30 min en fin de cycle (lights-off) - **CO₂** : setpoint 900 ppm jour (enrichment actif) - **EC solution** : 2.6 mS/cm (live 1.85-2.95 selon relevés) - **pH solution** : 5.8-6.0 (live 6.43, runoff 5.8-6.2) - **Runoff EC** : 4-5 mS/cm - **Irrigation** : Fréquente (4-5 cycles/jour) - **Runoff % daily** : 20-30 % - **Night dryback** : 8-12 % - **Steering** : Végétatif confirmé ### Nutrition et Irrigation (Soupe actuelle) **Nutriments utilisés cette semaine (doses par litre) :** - Cocos A → 1 ml - Cocos B → 1 ml - CANNA PK 13/14 → 1 ml - Green Sensation → 0.1 ml - Pure Zym → 1 ml - Sugar Royal → 1 ml - Cal-Mag Amino → 1 ml - Silica Force → 1 ml - pH- → 0.5 ml (pour ajuster à 5.8-6.0) Eau à ~20 °C, temp solution ~15-18 °C (normale en coco). Irrigation fréquente avec dryback contrôlé → parfait pour maintenir un VWC stable tout en évitant les excès d’eau en phase bulking. ### Problèmes et Ajustements **RAS** – Aucune problème, aucune alerte GrowOps, aucune intervention physique nécessaire cette semaine. Les paramètres sont très stables, le steering végétatif fonctionne parfaitement et les plantes répondent idéalement aux boosters de résine. ### Plans pour la Semaine 7 - Maintenir steering végétatif + EC 2.6 (possible léger pic PK si besoin) - UV rester à 90 min/jour - Légère défoliation sélective (seulement les grandes fan leaves qui bloquent vraiment la lumière sur les buds inférieurs) - Photos rapprochées pour suivre l’évolution des trichomes et du gonflement - Évaluer les clones pour sélection finale Ce journal sera mis à jour hebdomadairement. #GrowLegendary #Zamnesia #Plagron #EternityGrowCup2 Les buds gonflent vraiment bien, les trichomes commencent à briller et la plante dominante à 150 cm est superbe. On sent que le rendement va être excellent ! 🌱✨

Hi all, Welcome to my🍌💜👊 week update Thank you so much for all support on this bananas journey. Much appreciate all your likes, follows and comments. 🙏💚❤️💜 Week 13 Jan 8- Jan 14 This was another amazing week. Girls are behaved very well. Drinking their juice like crazy. 2 waterings of 9ltrs on Jan 10th and Jan 13th. Runoffs at ph 6.2. Buds are gaining some serious weight and the trichomes development is of the charts. Girls are covered with frost. Trichomes are mainly milky now with individual ambers here and there. On Jan 10 noticed on one Athena top colas a white topped bud! It's something that has never happened to me. It may be only led bleach or it's something abnormal and phenomenal. It's white and has red and amber pistil hairs in between and all covered with trichomes. Few days after. White coulour is not spreading and not seeing any damages. The smell in my cabinet its insane. Very sweet scents. I wouldn't say bananas but definitely sweet berries and gummies 🤤 new dehumidifier doing an amazing job. Humidity when light is on is between 49-54% and 52-58% when lights are out. It's all looking that my 🍌💜👊 girls will be ladies very soon. Harvest is coming big time. Next week planning to gradually cut nutrients down and prepare for flush. Stay tuned for new week update very soon! Peace and love brothers and sisters ✌️💚👨‍🌾 Links https://2fast4buds.com/seeds/banana-purple-punch-auto https://plagron.com https://www.biobizz.com/ https://fishheadfarms.com/

The buds are developing nicely and some pistils started to turn orange. I tested different things for the watering this week to avoid having too dry soil or too much excess water. The Wedding Cheesecake continues to have yellow leaves at the bottom despite the add of some biogrow. Overall it looks ok and the buds are growing so I'm not too concerned. I saw no particular issues due to the light leak from last week.

Nice growing, the yield to time ratio is weaker than in the case of automatic strains, maybe it is also due to some stressful factors. but the power is huuuge. Sticky fingers ☀️😉😄 thanks to all teachers

Этот цикл принёс мне опыт выращивания автоцвета в ограниченном пространстве, с использованием бокового и верхнего досветов(здесь для меня еще остаётся неограниченное поле экспериментов😎) Если подвести итог, то можно сказать, что данная техника выращивания частично себя оправдала, и конечно, в будущем я постараюсь учесть все допущенные ошибки. Надеюсь мой репорт получился интересным. Хочу поблагодарить Barney's Farm за интересный сорт, команду GD за организацию этого всего👌, и отдельное спасибо всем, кто посещал и комментировал мой дневник - вместе мы совершенствуем наше мастерство! 💚💛❤️ p.s. В ближайшее время к автоцветам возвращаться не планирую. p.p.s. Есть интересные идеи для следующего цикла, оставайтесь на связи и берегите себя!🙏

Final week of veg. Seems like a lot went on. As you can see, the canopy is virtual all even. The branches that were tied down 3 weeks ago were allowed to let go and reach for the light. In contrast, the taller and much stronger branches now became tied down. This took some work - these branches are thick and sturdy - pulling on them too much I am afraid will detach them from the trunk. That happened to the Gelato. It took a little bit of repositioning the wire garden ties everyday to achieve this. I'm happy to send them into flower like this. Speaking of Gelato. Her soil has been hot from the beginning. She has shown signs of high nitrogen levels and the run off from the pot is never clear. I purposely held off from feeding her nutrients bc of this, until this week. A day after feeding veg nutrients at 50% strength, there was yellow-browning and burning new growth leaf tips. This occurred for about 24 hrs on a few leaves then did not get worse. Next watering cycle will get only cal mag. Of note, the pH of any liquid going into Gelato has been consistently at 6.5. A few notes about the environmental conditions. According to VPD charts, the temperature / relative humidity ratio has not been ideal for vegetation. What would have improved the environment would have been the addition of a humidifier to reach about 60% RH at temps around 65 degrees F. Now, we are on to flower...

Week 3 for our Apricot from fastbuds 🍁 We removed the 2 lower branches and leaves. We gave some master root this week. Some of the plants already showed the first preflowers, flowering is starting soon! We also placed a net above just in case we need to sustain the buds in later flowering

everything is going very well, the girls have developed, we have found a hermaphrodite, what a surprise my colleague got when he found one with eggs, what a scare! I saw a video of a Mexican whose technique consists of breaking the male balls and letting the flower clean and do it every day as soon as new shoots come out, there comes a time when they no longer grow and only the female hairs follow, I will see that That's how it goes, if I can, when I visit the indoor, a photo of the hermaphrodite will be taken, only one of the girls, I don't know if she got stressed or what happened, the others continue to flower normally, big beautiful females, I'm amazed, how many showed my first crop, I see it great what do you think friends
