SOIL Fat Banana Grow Diary/ Viparspectra R900 VS. Lumatek Attis 300W

[CaptainWiese91]

Weekly update!
week 6 of bloom started on Monday, so 6,5 weeks almost.

plants are growing really good ! I have applied bamboo stick to most of the plants - The buds are to heavy for the stems. And almost every morning I’m turning the light on - a new bud as fallen to the edge of the pot with the stem. 😂. Tomato rings would be perfect. But they clearly don’t exist in Portugal in normal garden stores 😂

well bamboo sticks for the win ! Sometimes you have to improvise a little bit.

The smell is incredible strong now. So strong it makes my wife nauseous 😅.
The two lamps are doing quite fine. I will make a good review ok both lamps when I’m done. My timeline expectations was I would be done next week 🤦🏼🤣 clearly I’m not. Some are more behind than others, which also a fun game to watch- 9 of the same strain, but not all the same pheno type. Which gives you different harvest time.
I have one plant which have clearly more brown hairs than the others. I checked some trichomes on the buds and they are far away. A good portion is milky white - but still a lot is cloudy and not filled with THC yet. So I’m waiting and waiting.

about the nutrients I think I can squeeze a feeding or two more in with CANNA 13/14 before I just give them plain water with molasses.

And i have one in the corner of the grow - which is showing some odd symptoms. It’s definitely not bud rot. But the buds are changing the color.? From what or how I can’t figure it out .. so I’m monitoring it closely. Can’t find anything about the strain can go purple, so only time will tell

[dakogotin]

[CaptainWiese91]

Obrigado! 😃

 

[AccidentalGardener]

Very nice! Oh, your poor wife, tho. True love and all that...
"Is anyone gonna clean the cat-boxes?"
"We don't have a cat."
Lol.

Don’t know if you’re gonna hit your target, but you should be so proud of those girls. They look healthy and happy, and I can almost smell them. Gonna go give my girls some love and show them your pictures so they know what they’re aiming for.
See girls??? This is what you need to do😂
👍👍👍

 

[CaptainWiese91]

I dont Think I’m going to get what I was aiming for.. 🙄
But I think and hope I will be pleased with that I get.
They sure look nice yes. And when they come out of the tent when it’s harvest times. I can take much better pictures in normal light. Hard to see how frosty they are. I think it’s my best run so far. Not quantity but quality

 

[CaptainWiese91]

Update.
week 7 tomorrow.
Not much to say, it’s a waiting game for sure.
1 plant I started giving molasses - nr 2 tomorrow. The last 7 , it’s still not mature yet, so I have to wait a week or 2 maybe before I start giving them molasses.

buds are looking good. The smell is really intense now, it’s a joy every morning to go down and open the tent and turn on the light 😎🤟🏻

Happy growing Captain

 

[alltatup]

They all look great, Capt.!!!

 

[CaptainWiese91]

Many thanks !
Definitely not 7 weeks phenos I have. But I will be fine, I can wait a couple of more weeks.

 

[lalaland]

Looking gorgeous!! Wow 😳

 

[CaptainWiese91]

Thanks 🤟🏻😎

 

[buds73]

They looking good. Hopefully you won't have to wait too much longer.

 

[CaptainWiese91]

They are actually looking good. But yea I need to wait at least 2-3 weeks, for most of them. Sure it’s my own fault at some point.

 

[JohnEmad]

They look real nice capt. And you know breeders times are best case scenario under near perfect conditions. My grows almost always go longer.

 

[CaptainWiese91]

Obrigado! It means a lot when it comes from you.
Yea I know it’s in perfect conditions, and I battled thrips and a lot of heat this time. But I have a little competition in my head, and it’s about always try to hit the estimated time. This time it didn’t work 😅

 

[CaptainWiese91]

Good’fucking’morning Boys and mams.
Week 7 is finish tomorrow! And I’m checking trichomes for the win these days.
And ! 2 Vipar plants is just starting to produce amber trichomes which means it’s harvest time. It’s peaking with THC now, which is the goal for me. I don’t need the CBD.

So according to the estimated flower time is 7-9 weeks. I can accept that.
2 plants got their last CANNA 13/14 - which means all plants are now on molasses. No more fertilizer.
Tomorrow I will post pictures of the 2 plants outside the tent, before they get the axe. And pictures after the wet trim 🤟🏻

We are almost finish with this grow. 10 weeks of veg and now 8 weeks of bloom. Pretty long grow run for me, I must say.
Time and grams will tell if I hit my goals.

thanks for following this grow.
And of course the reviews on both lamp will be submitted when the whole grow is finished.

happy growing captain!

 

[lalaland]

They look gorgeous! Can’t wait to see what you get!
A few of mine are getting really close as well. Getting super excited !!!!

 

[CaptainWiese91]

I’m not a photographer 🤣. But they are beautiful, I will give you that. I can’t wait either😂. But I will have different harvest times, which means different drying time.
But every time some buds are ready, they going to the scale and I will write them very Gram down in the book. And add the whole up when the last bud is dried.

It’s an awesome strain to be honest. 10 weeks without any nutrients- perfect soil for cannabis. And when I look through the book. Only 250ml of CANNA had been used. And almost 650ML Cal mag. Throughout the whole grow. It’s impressive.

I love when strains are not heavy feeders - I’m saving money on nutrients 😂👍🏻

 

[lalaland]

That is a near perfect strain then! How do they taste?
