Pulled her a bit earlier than I would have liked, due to pest pressure

Ran into some Calcium/Phosphorus trouble !? First deficiency in the grow. Topped up with new nutrient solution, added some CalMag and Universol Yellow 12/32/12. Raised PH to 6.1 and EC to 1850. Added 100ml 12% H2O2 to make sure no PH trouble occurs. Switched the Carbon filter around so that I can lift my light a little more. Orion F1 is getting really frosty ~2 more weeks? The Northern Lights take some more time.

Grand Daddy Purple auto had a good growth spurt this week. She had her first lst and defoliation today. She has been growing vigorously this last week. This is a great sign and hopefully she keeps thriving. Everything is looking really good at the moment.

And then there was one! Here we are on day 84 and there is only this beast left standing. She's only got a few days to go with most of her trichomes a nice cloudy with just a few clear here and there, and a handful of amber throughout the pics I took. Buds are nice and swollen and very dense, with some beauty colours throughout. This plant got to quite the respectable size for an auto, once the front plant was removed she spread out to cover 80% of a 4x4 area. Harvested the front plant on day 82 as she was showing amber/cloudy without a sign of clears. Buds were nice and dark coloured, dense, and smelled so lemon. Really enjoyed harvesting it even with the mask on could get a good sniff and smelled delicious. I can't wait to dry, cure, and try her out!

Últimas semanas de las chicas, la Jack herer se está comiendo el indoor literalmente

Week 6 day 1 video Week 6 day 4 video I’m still pushing very hard with carbs every watering, humic acid, soluble n, soluble pk, microbial mass, b+, fishshit. Already tried testers for lowers. Very potent hits harder than a pen. Feels like 30-40% baked for 1-3h per j, different phenos. Not harsh just testers dried for 0:01:15, checked seeds and developing for 2-3 weeks

11/29 Start week 3 Transplant day both into 5 gal pots both look fine. Feed at 800ppm till water filter installed. Training sometime later in week 12/1 Going to try a ponytail on them, doing Ripley now, Tara later 12/5 Contining ponytail - Feeding to once per day at lights on 1 qt (liter) 800ppm, runoff = 1 cup (25%) each

Huge growth after adding a new 1000w light! Responding very well to light and nutrients!

Another steady week of bud development. I haven't really done much with those apart from the occasional removal of yellow leaves and tucking nuisance leaves under the net. The plants are all still growing in line with the previous expectations, with Topping and LST being the biggest, Mainlined next and then LST only in last place. It will be interesting to see the results though. Should only be a few more weeks until harvest, as a large majority of trichomes are already milky.

I've started this week with a heavier defoliation. Not sure it's worth it but I want to try it anyway, might as well make experience. I want to take a break from defoliation though, she's still my first plant so I really don't want to overstress or damage her. Pistils are getting bigger and I can't wait to see the bud! Watching carefully the flowers development as I've never seen that before. Hoping in some final stretch. End of the week: she stretched almost 10 cm in four days. I love this plant. I also rised the EC to 1.7. Still waiting before switching to Canna Flora nutrients. She's beautiful and bushy, I definitely need to slow down with those little frequent defoliations tho. Don't want to stunt her growth, especially now.

Happy with the amber percentage so chopped her down today 17/01/24. Some quick trimming of biggest fan leaves and then into dryer before it’s full dry trim. Final dry weight after trim 116.8g

The Future #1 strain took to germination right away, was very flexible, and worked very good for SCROG. It produced heavy buds that are beautiful. Teh strain started very strong and grew excellent. The flowers was super dense, very crystally and sticky. It will be very interesting to see how they smoke. I had some pH issues with my water supply which impacted the grow and this strain seemed to be more light sensitive compared to another Anesia strain right next to it. Wet bud weight is prior to trimming. The buds off of this plant were HUGE!!!! Wet weight - 58.8 oz prior to trim; 14 colas; Terps: White - 70%, Amber - 30% After 3 days of drying, took them down to trim for my jars. Dry weights into jars: Future #1: 9.06oz I did pull them after a day to dry rack them for 12 hours due to a little bit higher moisture content then I would have liked (+70%rH). Re-jarred on 6/1/23 and now holding steady at around 60% rH. Cure Check In: 6/10 - 6/12/23: rH ~ 63 - 66%. Daily air exposure & fanning. Very smelly. Looking good - another couple weeks and will be ready.

Finally harvest time arrived 🤗 It’s been a great run, though I had to improve a lot along the way. But as usual there was a way to get things done and finished up😎 After a long heatwave I decided to chop the whole tent, just a bit before I actually wanted to. And this one I stressed so much that the heat was the final straw.. It threw "nanners" at me, so to be on the safe side I chopped it now. But I see amber trichomes and heavy buds, so I think it’s safe to chop now, so here we go. 🤩 Can’t wait to taste this after so long watching over it🤤 More details to come. 😊

Week 1

Hello everyone, update for the Frozen Bananas F1 Hybrids by Barney's Farm. Starting with the biggest plant, we are now on week 5. She is doing well and growing steadily. Then, for her sibling, she is still doing terribly. Honestly, she has been underperforming since she was a seedling, and I think it's time to face reality—some plants just don't have that "grown-up" ambition. Because of this, I have officially started germinating another seed. I will be starting a completely new diary for that one, so stay tuned for Part 2. The environment has been relatively stable. The humidity is sitting right at 65%. The temperature has a bit of a mood swing, ranging between 21 and 26°C. Let's see how things look next week. Hopefully, the new seed decides to actually cooperate. Thank you for stopping by and have a nice day. Best regards, Growfather.

Tester FBA2504 – 42 Fast Buds | Harvest Report Harvest time! This Fast Buds tester delivered beyond expectations. The plant developed a compact and productive structure with dense, rock-hard buds absolutely drenched in trichomes. The central cola stands out, but the side branches didn’t fall behind—each one stacked with sticky, frosty flowers. The aroma is intense and unmistakable—sharp, chemical-like notes that hit hard and linger in the room. A truly powerful scent that hints at strong effects to come. Grow Setup: • Strain: Tester FBA2504 by 42 Fast Buds (Autoflower – genetics unknown) • Nutrients: Xpert Nutrients • Light: Mars Hydro FC-3000 EVO • Pot size: 11L • CO₂: used during veg and the first 4 weeks of flowering • Flowering time: ~78 days • Trichomes: ~15% amber at harvest This girl is frosty, loud, and ready to cure—can’t wait to see how she smokes!

Week 5: Transplant Time & Root Power! Oh man, this was one of those weeks! We transplanted all five phenos into bigger pots, and let me tell you, they’re thriving! (Check out the complete video episode for all the details 😉). The girls are looking amazing, all pretty much the same size for now, so I don’t have any favorites yet—but let’s see what the future holds! For photos, I used both my Nikon P900 and Sony A6000, with a bunch of lenses and filters to preserve the true colors—these LEDs are powerful! Current Setup & Conditions This week, they’re still chilling with their sisters in the big tent, but in about a week, they’ll be moving into the TrolMaster ecosystem for even better environmental control. Watering: pH 6.06, EC 0.96 Temperature: A bit cold , but it is what it is. We’re facing some freezing outdoor temps (as shown last week in the frosty veggie garden pics!), yet these Runtz are holding strong like true champions. 💪❄️ Nutrition: Still on the Aptus Clean Program, with: Regulator System Clean RO Water Conditioner All-in-One Liquid Root Development: The Real MVP! Let’s go deep on roots! The mycorrhizae in the Pro-Mix soil has been working its magic, and I’m still boosting them further with a touch of Aptus Holland Mycor Mix. The root development on this transplant was insane—super white, healthy, and ready to explode with growth. What Are Mycorrhizae? The word “mycorrhiza” comes from Greek: • Myco- meaning fungus • Rhiza- meaning root Mycorrhizae are a type of beneficial fungi that form a symbiotic (mutually beneficial) relationship with plant roots. These fungi extend far beyond the root zone, creating an underground network that helps plants absorb water, nutrients, and improve overall health. This is not a single species but rather a whole category of fungi, mainly divided into: 1. Ectomycorrhizae – Live on the outside of plant roots, forming a sheath around them. Common in trees like pines and oaks. 2. Endomycorrhizae (Arbuscular Mycorrhizae, AMF) – The most beneficial for most crops and cannabis. These penetrate root cells, forming structures inside the roots that exchange nutrients. Where Are Mycorrhizae Found in Nature? Mycorrhizae naturally occur in forests, grasslands, and undisturbed soils worldwide. They play a crucial role in maintaining ecosystem balance by helping plants access nutrients from the soil. In a natural environment, plants are constantly forming relationships with these fungi. However, in modern agriculture, excessive tilling, chemical fertilizers, and fungicides have reduced their populations, making supplementation necessary in many cases. How Do Mycorrhizae Work? Once mycorrhizae colonize a plant’s roots, they start forming an underground fungal network called the mycelium. This network extends the plant’s reach into the soil, acting as a second root system. Benefits of Mycorrhizae: ✅ Enhanced Nutrient Uptake – Mycorrhizae help plants absorb phosphorus, nitrogen, and micronutrients that would otherwise be unavailable. ✅ Improved Water Absorption – The fungal network can reach deeper into the soil than roots alone, helping plants survive drought conditions. ✅ Stronger, Healthier Roots – They promote thicker, more robust root systems, reducing transplant shock. ✅ Better Soil Structure – They produce glomalin, a protein that improves soil aggregation and helps retain moisture. ✅ Natural Pest & Disease Resistance – Healthy plants with strong mycorrhizal relationships tend to be more resistant to soil-borne pathogens. How Mycorrhizae Help in Cannabis & Gardening In controlled growing environments, using mycorrhizae is a game-changer. Since cannabis relies heavily on phosphorus, the enhanced nutrient uptake provided by mycorrhizae is especially beneficial. Best ways to apply mycorrhizae: • At transplant – Dust roots with mycorrhizae powder or mix into soil. • As a soil drench – Some liquid formulations allow fungi to colonize even after planting. • Mix into your growing medium – Using pre-amended soil like Pro-Mix HP Mycorrhizae ensures roots have early access. Pro Tip: Mycorrhizae need living roots to survive! Avoid using synthetic fungicides or excessive chemical fertilizers, as they can kill the fungi. Think of mycorrhizae as a natural root booster. They’ve been around for hundreds of millions of years, helping plants thrive in all conditions. By using them in cultivation, you’re mimicking nature, ensuring your plants grow stronger, healthier, and more resilient. When used correctly, mycorrhizae can increase yields, improve plant health, and reduce the need for synthetic inputs—making them a must-have for any serious grower! Can’t wait to see how they’ll look in the next transplant! I made a few changes to my improvised photo studio, including a pink background for now—because why not?

🌱 Black Diamond – Plant A (8A) | Week 3 Vegetation 8×8 Adventure – Folder 08 Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure, my personal pheno hunt where twelve different cultivars are being grown simultaneously using the 12/12 From Seed method. The goal of this project is to explore each cultivar’s natural structure, flowering speed, resin production, aromas, and final quality while allowing every phenotype to express its own unique personality. This grow is cultivated entirely with the Plagron Terra nutrient line, maintaining a straightforward feeding schedule while documenting every stage of development through macro photography and weekly reports. Every plant receives exactly the same environmental conditions, allowing genetics to tell their own story. Black Diamond Plant A continues to show exactly why this strain caught my attention. While still young, she already displays excellent vigor, healthy spacing, and the elegant structure that makes a phenotype exciting to follow. ⸻ 🌿 Grow Conditions Week: 3 (Vegetation) * 🌡️ Day Temperature: 27°C * 🌙 Night Temperature: 25°C * 💧 Humidity: 55% * 🌱 Substrate Temperature: 21°C * 💦 Solution Temperature: 20°C * ⚡ EC: 1.3 * pH: 6.0 * 💨 CO₂: 666 ppm * 💡 Light Schedule: 12/12 * ? Pot Size: 15 L * 🚿 Water Consumption: Approximately 1 L per plant/day Feeding Schedule * Terra Grow — 1.8 ml/L * Power Roots — 1 ml/L * Pure Zym — 1 ml/L * Sugar Royal — 1 ml/L * pH Plus — adjusted as required * Lemon Kick — adjusted as required ⸻ 🌱 Plant Development Plant A is developing into a beautifully balanced young lady. She has established a thick central stem with evenly spaced internodes, while the lateral branches are already beginning to push outward, creating the framework for what should become a very productive canopy. Her leaves display a rich, healthy green with excellent turgor, showing that nutrition and irrigation remain well balanced. New growth is arriving rapidly and with good symmetry, suggesting that she has fully settled into her container and is now directing her energy toward vigorous structural development. Compared to many plants grown under the 12/12 From Seed method, she is maintaining a compact architecture while still producing enough internodal spacing to ensure future flower sites receive adequate light penetration. ⸻ 📷 This Week Behind the Lens This week’s photographs really highlight the quality of her structure. The side profiles reveal a strong main stem with excellent node stacking, while the overhead shots showcase an increasingly symmetrical canopy. The macro images capture healthy new growth emerging from every node, giving an excellent preview of the flowering sites that are beginning to form. One of my favorite photos is the overhead shot where the plant resembles a perfectly balanced green star, each fan leaf extending naturally without competing for space. These are exactly the kinds of structural characteristics I enjoy documenting during early development because they often hint at the final architecture of the mature plant. ⸻ 🌿 Looking Ahead As she enters the coming week, I expect Plant A to begin transitioning fully into her stretch phase. The secondary branches should accelerate noticeably, gradually transforming the compact vegetative structure into a canopy filled with evenly distributed flowering sites. If she continues at this pace, she has every opportunity to become one of the standout Black Diamond phenotypes within the project. For now, the objective remains simple: maintain stable environmental conditions, continue the current feeding schedule, and let her natural genetics guide the process. Growers Love and as always, patience is part of the process… and this lady is definitely making me curious about what’s coming next. 💚
