finishing week 3 of stretch. Plants started to look pale, unclear if it was leaving the rez on too much vs. just hungry for higher EC. Towards end of week pulled them out of the trays and put drip trays in to give them a top-feed with generous runoff + some recharge. Pics of that are more in next week's photos.

This week I have moved out from my last apartment and have moved into a new one. Now she has had more space to develop. She is showing her first pistilos but the smell still under control. Here is winter and too windy, so the smell prob is not a big prob. I'm Intending to let her bloom for at least 2 months / or 2 months and half more. Feed her with 4-14-8 organic yesterday. Shes responding good about it.

Últimas semanas de floración antes de dar paso al lavado de raíz, desde las 2 últimas semanas se agrega overdrive

budding up nicely now. One pheno looks to be growing different bud formations and is much more frosty. O stupidly didn't take a cut of this in veg so I've taken a flower cut to reveg and try monstercropping.

05/02/2026 This better be the last week. I have her in the dark for the next two days. Hopefully she gives me some color. Or does that work with the light? Readings: pH: 5.74 EC: 604 cm TDS: 430 ppm Temp: 63.3° Readings after a small top off. pH: 5.88 EC: 590 cm TDS: 413 ppm Temp: 64.4° Readings Again: pH: 6.3 EC: 517 TDS: 405 Temp: 62.8° 05/03/2026 Readings: PH: 6.25 EC: 588 cm TDS: 418 ppm Temp: 67.1° So we can see that the warmer the water, the higher the concentration of salts. I just added an ice bottle, but it's still working it's magic. The pH seems to have leveled out too. As for the high concentration of salts, I'm gonna have to repeat flushing again. Well, in this case, I'm going to pull a gallon out and add another gallon and a half or so of plain pHed water. Reason being, I can't get the bottom of the bucket with my water pump. The roots are all in the way. So it's still loaded with nutrients. And now the water is below the roots. I've been doing my best to avoid topping off, but I think I just want to do the swap. Plain Filtered and pHed tap water readings: pH: 6.08 EC: 435 cm TDS: 307 ppm Temp: 65.7° I pHed a gallon of water. Pulled 3 gallons out of the bucket and put 3.5 gallons back in. Perfect top off especially for the last few days of flushing. I should probably check the trichomes. I haven't since I put her in the dark 2 days ago. Update: after taking a short trichome video, this lady is done. 05/04/2026 May the 4th be with you! Readings: pH: 6.43 EC: 597 cm TDS: 416 ppm Temp: 67.5°

Added video on may 16 for a good look May 11 We are now almost at the end and I must say it sparkles more than anything else I have had so far I specifically took photos and the video using only the light from my phone. Despite the burn marks, she's a real sight to behold. She makes it difficult for me to take photos with a flash because she's covered in trichomes that simply bounce the light back. The buds look great and healthy and are now in their final stages of ripening. I hope everyone enjoyed this cup. I've been through thick and thin with this plant, and I really enjoyed it.Regardless of whether I win the cup or not, I'm already a winner with this beautiful plant. It smells great, and I'm already looking forward to smoking it. Thank you all for your attention. This is the largest diary entry I'll be making, in terms of pictures. Of course, there will be more pictures and videos until the end of May. She will now receive advanced nutrients as prescribed and Plagron's Green Sensation for the rest of the time. In one or two weeks I change the water and just let them stand in normal water. THANKS 🙏🏻🔥😌❤️

Hello everyone, I've had a busy week, so this is what I have for you guys See y'all next week 🤘🤘

I was selected to test some of Fastbuds new genetics. Seeds germinated in 48hrs and 6 days later it broke ground and hasent slowed down. This grow is in my 4x4ft grow space located in an uninsulated shed. Each plant has a dedicated 150-200w LED from Viparspectra or Mars. Winter Temps in my area spike to -15C or more in Jan and Feb, so this will be an interesting and challenging grow. The grow room is 20-30C above ambient temperature, so there is a little manual and auto manipulation of grow Temps. See my video Lights 50-75%, 30 inches, 75-120w per plant Soil temp: 21-25C Light cycle: 5:1 Air temp: 18-27C

Sexta semana de vegetación, y esto sigue avanzando. Haré cambios, al principio dije que no haría podas, pero igual hice poda apical a las 2 Kukulkán, ya que estoy haciendo esquejes y no puedo pasar aún a flora, y así controlo la altura de la 2 mas grandes Hice transplantes de maceta a las 2 Kukulkán a una de 20L, el sustrato con mezcle con mycojordan de @elite91_latam Ph:6,5 Ec:1,4 Temperatura:24 grados Humedad relativa 55%

Removed lil buds, had some insects this week removed them. Week 7 grow needs to be deleted its dubbel eith week 8 and since week 7 i use 4-4-7 npk.

Girls are coming along well transplanted set 1&2... seem to be loving it....we getting there

I did her first water change on day 10 upped the nutrient dose and increased the reservior to 12 gallons. Gave her the first dose of armor si and humic acid. I topped her on day 12 to start 4 main branches. Will most likely top again and start training in about a week depending on how she wants to grow. The goal is a maximum of 5 weeks veg if they cooperate. They are under 240w qb and a galaxyhydro pulling about 140w for now. Will be adding more qb when I spread the buckets out.

Week two of the vegetative phase, and the Banana Purple Punch is growing like crazy!🌱🌿 The Banana Purple Punch is growing fast and looks super healthy. The leaves are a vibrant green, and the plant is definitely thriving. I’m sticking to the BioBizz nutrient schedule for the vegetative phase, and I’ve also added some Root Juice to support strong root development. 🌱 So far, everything seems to be going perfectly. The growth has been steady, and I’m excited to see how much more progress the plant will make in the coming weeks. This is shaping up to be a great grow! 😁✨

Sticky Broccoli Auto – Harvest Update Strain: Sticky Broccoli Auto Breeder: Zamnesia Seeds Grower: Little Lilly Farms Overall Outcome This run didn’t hit the mark. The genetics felt unstable and inconsistent across all four plants—each one expressed very differently in structure, growth, and final bud development. Bud quality leaned airy and loose, lacking density, but was heavily coated in resin and trichomes. Visually appealing frost, but the overall structure didn’t back it up. Terpene profile was underwhelming—nothing loud or complex. Mostly a sweet gas aroma, but lacking depth and punch. ⸻ Harvest & Final Week Timeline 4/1 Fed one plant ½ gallon of previous nutrient mix. Very minimal runoff. 4/2 * 1 gallon of premade feed (from 3/31) used * Small runoff achieved * Other 2 plants received straight RO water (not pH’d) * No noticeable change in color or fade on water-only plants 4/3 ¼ gallon of premade feed mix applied 4/4 – Harvest Begins * Cut down 2 plants * Fit both into the Cannatrol for drying * Buds extremely resinous and sticky * Heavy trichome coverage across both plants * Switched remaining plants to straight RO water moving forward Final Feed Mix (per gallon): * 0.5 ml Silicium Bloom * 2 ml MagCal * 4 ml Green Sensation * 2 ml Cocos A * 8 ml Cocos B * 4 ml Pure Zym 4/6 * Purple coloration showing on sugar leaf edges * ¾ gallon RO water (not pH’d) * ~5% runoff 4/7 * ¾ gallon RO water * Minimal runoff 4/8 * 1 gallon RO water * ~15% runoff 4/9 * ¾ gallon RO water * ~20% runoff 4/10 * 1 gallon RO water * ~15% runoff ⸻ Drying & Cure All 4 plants have been harvested, dried, and are currently being trimmed. Final weight will be recorded once trimming is complete. ⸻ Final Thoughts * Pros: * Extremely resinous buds * Heavy trichome production * Good visual frost * Cons: * Airy, low-density buds * Weak terpene expression * Highly inconsistent phenotypes across all plants Overall, this run felt like a genetic gamble that didn’t fully pay off. While the resin production was impressive, the lack of density and terp complexity made this one fall short of expectations.

The Olympia Auto has just entered flowering. The plant has remained quite small, likely due to the intense cold stress (temperatures below 10ºC) it experienced—similar to other autos I'm cultivating this season. Despite its size, I'm impressed by how much it’s stretching in this phase; it just keeps growing. The aroma is still weak but gradually increasing each day. Health: The plant looks healthy and beautiful. It’s a shame that only one plant emerged from the seed pack, but even though I haven’t harvested yet, I’m eager to grow this strain again! Ambient Conditions: This week started off hot (with a minimum of 23ºC and a maximum of 30ºC), but a cold front has now brought temperatures back down (with a minimum of 11ºC and a maximum of 20ºC). Humidity remains quite low, around 30-35%. Training: I haven’t done any training or defoliation on this plant. Fertilization: I applied Ekosil (silica + potassium), another dose of bokashi, and a dose of nitrogen, with one more nitrogen application planned for the end of this week. Pest Control: I'm continuing with Beauveria treatments, and I no longer have issues with the fungus gnats that had appeared earlier. Watering: I’ve been watering the plant very minimally, as the substrate has been staying moist on its own. Looking Forward: From this point on, there’s not much left to do except watch the flowering progress.

They were good phenos. Very similar and nice buds. Super dense and dripping in resin. Lovely aromatic smell have been developed and was a great addition to my VERY LARGE crop this time. Both phenos grew great. P1 was just under 10 weeks. Pheno 2 was just touching into wk 7. Amazing smells from both. Dense buds. Big yields. Really happy to have ran this strain. Very fruity, exceptional quality & taste. Averaged about 70-90 grams for Pheno1 & Pheno 2. (Both plants cured 2 + months now. Really happy with my MSNL strains I ran this crop. Will be looking to add more in a few weeks for round 2 of my planned amount. Thanks to my sponsors from MSNL & XPERT NUTRIENTS. AMAZING DUO. Appreciate all who stop by. I thank you and look forward to seen your diaries. Either way thanks for dropping by. DISCOUNT CODE FOR XPERT NUTRIENTS 20% OFF CODE:

Early update from week 7. As hoped, she's doing great again. I just put in a lot of nutrients and she loves it. A little LST on the BPP2 and a little defoliation on the BPP.

- upped light intensity to ca. 600 PPFD by taking of the domes of the E27 LEDs - performed LST and defoliated larger leaves that were blocking the new nodes; snapped the main stem from Forbidden Cherry #1. Damn. She survived, but so much pain. Stupid beginner mistake. She´ll recover! - Otherwise, great growth, no other issues.
