Hi there! Ive been posting each of my grows in a different post and I decided since Im gonna do it consistently to just make 1 post like many people do and put them all in one post. A "quick" recap of the soil, ammendments and liquids I use: Soil: Canna terra professional, composition;
Peat and perlite; NPK 12-14-24; EC 1.0; PH 6.
Toped with biobizz coco + perlite. Drainage method: Arlite on the bottom. Additives mixed with the soil: Extra perlite, coco coir, vermiculite, arlite, alfalfa meal, kelp meal, neem meal, dolomite lime, phosphoric rock dust, volcanic ash, worm castings, bat guano, biochar. BASE NPK: Going back to Iguana Juice as base NPK after trying a few other organic brands. Will use Iguana Grow for veg and then Iguana Bloom for the first 3 weeks of flower. After that I will mix 50% Iguana bloom 50% Alghemp F from Trabe to reduce nitrogen intake. Other liquid additives: Radical roots by Trabe (from week 1 of veg to week 3 of flower), Radical flower by Trabe (flower), Top Barrier by Top Crop (Potassium silicate, veg and extra during flower), Big Bud by AN (week 1 to 3 of flower), Bud Candy by AN (flower), eggshell + vinegar calcium mixed in the water with epsom salts (resulting in CAL-MAG-SULFUR, veg and extra during flower), CALMAG by Ionic (I try to avoid it and use my mix for calcium since calmags tend to come with nitrogen and this one is no exception, but I will use it if I see they want more nitrogen instead of my mix) Top dressing: Will probably only use bat guano and palm tree ash as pk booster after 3rd week of flower. Might use any of my other ammendments too if I see it fit but I like to push with liquids in flower and only a light top dress. Suggar sources for microorganisms: molasses and sweet beetroot juice. Suggar source for fattening buds:Bud Candy from Advanced Nutrients.
x4 Melonade Runtz (Dutch Passion) in 7Gal pots and x1 Wedding Cake (Random seed) in 3Gal pot.
x2 150W Cosmos LEDs (Full spectrum with IR and UV). 100x100x200cm cultibox light tent.
Day 29 of 12/12 (In my original post I got it wrong, I thought they were at day 35+ and I was a bit dissapointed but turns out Im a moron and I cant do basic math ). Happy with the frostiness, waiting to see how they fatten.

And here is my new tent. 80x80x160cm Hydro Shoot tent.x3 Fat Banana (Royal Queen Seeds) 5Gal pots, x1 Forbidden Fruitcake (Advanced Seeds) 5Gal pot.
2x Niello 1200 130W LED (Full Spectrum with IR and UV). They have fans so the 130W are not exclusively the LEDs unfortunately, but will be good enough for now, Ive had them for a year and I cant complain at all, got some impressive buds a couple of grows ago with Crystal Candy from Sweet Seeds using these.
And if youre curious about the Crystal Candy from Sweet Seeds that I pulled out with those "130W" LEDs here they are, got 2 dark blue ones and 2 green ones:
I dont know why the video is duplicated, I try to edit it but it doesnt appear in the edit. Dont mind the video in the pics of the Crystal Candy, thats the video of my current grow that I first posted, for some reason it buged and appeared there aswell.
EDIT: Fixed it by removing all media and uploading it again.
Day 30 of 12/12. I borrowed a better camera this time as mine doesnt really make them justice and I didnt give any close up in the last video. There are some buds more advanced than others but being from seed and watching the frostiness and how theyre slowly compacting Im very happy with the Melonade Runtz.
The new indoor Used and will use the same ammendments and nutes that in the other one, the only difference is that these pots are 5 gallon instead of 7 due to the tent being slightly smaller. I will remove the NET later on, I had to make some adjustments to it because it said it was for 80x80 and it clearly was too flacid and going down in the middle so I had to pass 2 rows through the hook to tense it, which leaves me with less squares to work with and Im not happy with that, will get a better one when I can.
As for the strains I have 3 Fat Bananas and 1 Forbidden Fruitcake.
Light x130W Niello 1200 (Full spectrum with IR and UV)
Hello there! Glad to have you here! I love me some fruity and sweet strains. There's also 4 melonade runtz and 1 wedding cake on the way! 1 month or so to end. I tried the fat banana and chiquita banana before and they do have an aftertaste of mature banana so I decided to repeat, very yummy, it was fairly productive aswell. As for the rest its my first time, I really hope that the melonade runtz has some hint of melon like they say, runtz crosses sometimes are overpowered by the runtz flavor. Anyway the melonade runtz is (lemon zkittlez x lemon tree) x runtz so I think Im gonna be happy nonetheless, cant go wrong with those crosses!
EDIT: Oh forgot about the wedding cake, I also tried it, I like it, creamy and if its good a hint of vanilla and sweetness.

Thank you! Yes they do indeed! I wasnt expecting them to work that well with such low wattage compared to other panels but as long as you keep them close and pull them up when needed the results are quite nice for what they are and what they cost (60 euros each on sale).
Oh no! I had to remove some bananas from one of the plants. I hate summer... I hope I dont get many seeds, I have no use for seeds that come from hermies. I think I removed them fast enough but one of them was already open. My plants are under high heat right now and there's nothing I can do about it, dimming the lights a bit only lowers the temperature like a couple of degrees so I didnt even bother. This is when a good LED panel wont let you down while these cheap ones are kinda crappy for summer, samsung diodes are way more efficient so they dont get as hot. Also AC but I wont even consider that, Im trying to save money not go even more broke hahaha. Welp, its not the first time and its not gonna be the last, wish me luck, I think I wont have many seeds hopefully, will have to check her every day still one month to go but that one is maturing faster since she decided to self polinate. I had hopes as it was being a mild summer until a week ago but they still have august to go through... hopefully no more hermies ^^' but theyre gonna get HAWT.
Hahaha not quite, one was already open so Im gonna have a few seeds. Hopefully it was only that one because the pots block my vision from the back side where that one is, there could very well be more open bananas lying on the floor and I wouldnt see them but fingers crossed

Day 38 of 12/12 not much has changed except that the temperatures lowered a bit for a couple of days, still way above what I would like but not much I can do about it sadly, this a normal summer grow for me and it will get hotter. The plants look healthy though and the smell is amazing. You cant see in the video because I have to turn off the lights so my camera can properly take pics and videos but the hermie is not gonna fatten much more, already showing almost half of the pistils orange, maturing way faster than the others, I hope I can chop it in a couple of weeks. So far no more bananas but monkey is searchig every day
Oh yeah I forgot the last time and I almost forget this time aswell. When I took out the bananas I sprayed them with 3% hydrogen peroxide mixed with water in a ratio of 1:4 in an attempt to make any polen or sack that I didnt see sterile. I know that hydrogen peroxide can make polen sterile, even just water, but cant find anything related to this. I have never heard anyone try, if anyone knows if its a waste of time or it works let me know, its just something that crossed my mind since the last time I had an hermie I used hydrogen peroxide to clean the tent after the grow.
Day 44, we went from a mild summer to one of the hottest summers, breaking records every other week. Its still not August but yesterday it was VERY hot. Sorry shaky hands
And the girls are doing okay but considering the heat Im not expecting the buds to get much bigger. Humidity is also extremely low for where I live, this was a few hours after watering, but thats okay since Im in late flower, about that no complains. The smell is delicious too.
Didnt give update of the new indoors. Day 13 of veg. 3 Fat Banana 1 Forbidden Fruitcake. The forbidden fruitcake got leggy because I turned down the lights to the minium after spraying them with hormones and forgot to put it back to max again, is not that the seed moved when I was watering, I water very slowly to not move them. I burried the long stem and moved it to the left side where there is no pot so she has more space. Will distribute them as I see fit once I introduce the net anyway. Look how dry those pots are, BOOOOO, dont worry I just watered them but they were completely fine, as you can see no signs of thirstyness before the watering. Dry periods are gut, specially during gnat season. So far none this year, fingers crossed.
I know the fat banana from the bottom left looks a bit weird. She is one of those special plants that we love so much and appear in almost every grow. She started showing yellow patterns in the first leaves I knew it was gonna be ret- special from the start. Hopefully she wont get way behind in flower. I will keep them 1 day in the dark before swaping to 12/12 so she gets the message.
Not amused with the size of the buds but it looks good. The retarded one is the one that shows in the first frame, you can tell how the leaves are in a very different state compared to the others and the buds are the smallest of the grow aswell. Fed the same to all of them, she started getting yellow tips and new growth, fed her less, regained the green as you can see in the upper growth, no yellowing, but the leaves are smaller and gettin dry already. A couple of yellow spots also appeared due to a nute lockout of some mineral I assume before I readjusted her feeding to less nutes.
Oopsie, I also have the habit of calling the slow ones who are delicate with nutes retarded hahaha I was just joking around when I said that.
FUCKING RETARDED PLANT GIVE ME BIGGER BUDS, YOU HAVE FOOOOD, IM GIVING YOU FOOOOD, EAAAAT!
That would be a funny meltdown
