Dont know if this is the right sub. Apologies, if not.

Hi guys,

My apologies for bad trichome pictures, my hand is too shaky and I just couldnt stabilize the usb microscope.

This is my first grow. Almost killed my babies by underfeeding and underwatering them on week 5 (lost all fan leaves), but they seem to have bounced back. Its day 89, should have finished by now (based on grow diaries on this strain), but my underfeeding might have delayed the harvest a week or two probably



Strain: Banana kush auto by anesia seeds
Biobizz light mi and nutes (grow, bloom, topmax, activera, algamic)
Day 87
3x3 tent ,
390watt of light (kingbrite +mars ts1000)
temps good, but last 3 weeks a bit too hot - 90-100F
Humidity decent - about 40%

PROBLEMS during grow:
a) Almost killed them on week 5 due to underfeeding. All fan leaves yellowed and died.,
b) Days 70-90 from seed have been 90-100 F in tent - much too ho for an indica.
c) Nute burn after I underfed them. I think nute burn is also visible in pictures, yes?
d) Took smaller/lower buds for test (feel a decent effect, but not too strong) and hey had 2 SEEDS.
Havent seen more seeds, but they may have hermied from the stress right?

I would appreciate if someone answered even one of the following questions.

1) What DAMAGE do you see? Is it visible that the plant almost died on days 30-37? (lost all fan leaves due to severe deficiencies and underwatering) Is there any damage?
Also - the small leaves (calyx?) which are brownish in colour are VERY dry and brittle and "crunchy"

2) Does the browning of calyxes is normal or the heat might be the problem? From day 70 to day 88 it has been 90-95 Fahrenheit inside the tent, and its an indica, I also have no AC sadly.

3) Looking at full plant pictures and bad quality (sorry) trichome pics - any guess, how long to go? The plant seems to be starting to drink less. Usually I water 2.5 - 3 liters (its a 12 litre pot) and it takes about 80-96 hours to dry. Last week has been 96+ hours to dry.

Also the white pistils have been receding/not developing any new ones for the last week

Thanks for any input, folks!

All your photos exept one are blurry. ;)

The small leafs overall look like dried out(brown)!?

I think it's too late do do anything without leafs and so late, just harvest her. 🤷‍♂️

Pretty plant, thanks for sharing friend. Remember you can always get yourself a sample of the plant for a little taste. Just snip a little popcorn top off the top and bottom, let them sit for about 5 days, and get an idea of how it is. IF you get stone and you like the stone, it's time to chop chop. Good job Kreikrei. 😎

Thanks for replying.
Dont you think its bad, that the small leaves (sugar leaves and/or calyxes) are dry/brown/crunchy?
Could that be due to heat (days 70-90 about 90-95F) and/or nute burn? I did give her full dose of Biobizz range (some give half or less)

P.S. I took asmall lower nug on day 82 and tried it a few days ago. No the best Ive tried, but vry decent. I was so happy, it is my precious :D

you will find out when you smoke it. if it burns bad then maybe it was too high feed. But, biobizz is not that concentrated and also it takes a while to work, so it all depends on how much they got overall, especially since the start of flower.

Those brown leaves are from too much light and heavy or hard water. In hot environments, plants' metabolism slows down and if you give the plant a lot of salts it will bronze the leaves. The best way to prevent leaf bronzing is to keep the light high off the canopy and use less fertilizer when it's hot. Lastly, use clean filtered RO or Rainwater. 😎
