Looking solid! Love how this picture shows the bulk of the colas on the Banana Ice Cream #3 I also love seeing happy little seedlings and it's good to see they are responding well to the COBs.

Seltzer huh? Never heard of that one. Does the CO2 come out of solution pretty quick?

If you dry hit it, it's harsh but with herb in the bowl it's smooth. The carbonation leaves pretty quickly for the most part but it eferveses the mandarin flavor for quite a while. Straight seltzer doesn't work as well. Better with citrus infusion.

Keeps it tasting fresh.

Interesting. I don’t smoke much anymore but might have to break the ol bong out and give it a go.

Crystal Geyser peach sparkling water is my favorite to use. If you put a few drops of orange, lime, grapefruit, or lemon juice will help to keep resin from sticking to the pipe longer and keep it tasty. I like to stay to the tart flavors. Some of the berry taste funny without a citrus addition.

I'm big time into mixing sparkling water beverages so I know how the flavors work. Try to keep it mostly to the essence like squeezing it directly from fruit and only a few drops at a time. Premade juices often have additional sugar and have lost the aromatics of the intact fruit. I haven't tried this yet but I'm going to use lime zest next water refill( if you dont know what I mean, zest is a light grating from the surface of citrus peels. They make zesters or you can use something like a nutmeg grater or a clean metal rasp).

She may look like a runt from pics outside the fence but BIC#1 is just leaning over, and she's still around 9' tall. If she were standing up straight she'd be almost 12'.

I love the color when the sun hits the Idunnoes.

The backside of BIC#3. She's only the 4th biggest but she's probably the 1st or 2nd heaviest with colas.

My Yellow Jacket/Meat Bee trap is starting to look like a scene from 300.

Brought the ladder up to wrap the Idunnoes. She's getting heavy. I almost didn't expect her to bloom but now she's loaded with flowers. Ok, extra bonus. The garden looks really lush from these angles.

I think I got a contender for POTM in a month or two.

I'm thinkin she'll be over a half lb, dried/cured.

Took off the dome and set the lights to 37%. They appear to like it.

Wrapping the Idunnoes. If she's related to those Bananas then she's gonna start droppin branches soon.

Sorry if I accidentally loaded up a duplicate or two. Cell reception at home has been sh*t for days and I keep getting legit pics rejected from the bad connection. I'm in town right now with great reception, uploading from two phones (I use my Galaxy S6 & S7 in combination. The S7 gets the SIM card because of its dual antenna and built in signal booster but I use the S6 for it's better camera, smoother glass screen, better version of photo editor and Google Chrome, and it's overall nicer feel of quality. I piggyback off the S7's hot spot).

I mistakenly said in an earlier post the BIC#1 was 9' but it's closer to 8' and if standing straight it'd be more like 10'-11'. Still, no runt, hehe. I love the flowers on this one and just noticed this morning they are rapidly reaching their sensi stage. Plucked a few mature preflower and tiled but couldn't get a bead on the buzz. Need to check without having smoked anything else first. I was really high but it could have been from the Royal Nepal I had just pulled some massive rips on.

Got some mildew of some sort on the morning glories. Clipped them back to keep them from contact with the girls.

Took some flash pics of the girls before sunrise. All of them are doing very well and are fully loaded with colas and clusters beginning to swell.

I need to get some Overdrive and Bud Candy for the garden but I don't know if I can scrounge the moolah th together for it in time. One thing I really like about the tent grow is I can afford to use all Advanced Nutrients nutes (as long as the garden allows me the extra money). When their nutes are combined in a complete AN system, the results can be off the chain.

Which one is the super sparse buds?

The one with the smallest and newest flowers is the Idunnoes (tree looking one). The BIC#2 and Banana Crack have a lighter pattern of flower sites but still have great calyxes (bracts). The Orange Creamsicle has the biggest colas but very very small calyxes. Making for annoyingly fluffy buds, comprised mostly of sugar leaves. I'm pushing these colas to their max time to see if I can get better overall flowers. The BIC#1 & BIC#3 have fantastic flowers, structure, and sise.

The girls are getting heavy and leaning, so I did some more tying off to stabilise them. Moved a few branches around for better sun and some trichs rubbed off on my hand from the sugar leaves. Wow! These really do taste like banana, banana and diesel. Super pungent. So excited!

The beanlings have quickly developed root systems and are ready for transplant. Has anyone transplanted peat pots before? Supposedly I can just stick them in the new pots and they'll grow through them. If that actually works I'd prefer it. Can eliminate transplant stress, but I don't want to do that and in trade bind the roots up while the peat loosens. Will go ahead and leave them in the peat pots for transfer unless someone says otherwise.

Thanks man. The beginning of harvest season is delightful for outdoor growers. The girls begin to put out their perfume and the flower die back and start to swell. This is my favorite part of the season, even more than harvest. Harvest is too busy to enjoy everything but right now there's nothing to do but experience the look and smell of the ripening fruit. I sooo still stink like bananas right now just from tying off and moving a few branches around. It's like I took a swim in a banana sundae, rofl.
