Transplant complete! The roots were definitely ready for a new space.
Hats the hose looking thing tied to the back right corner of the tent? 🤔
I’m gonna do drip irrigation eventually. Was playing around with the setup.
That's cool. It looks like you have a bottom feed/wicking tray underneath the grow bag. Will that just be to collect runoff once you turn on the irrigation system?

Yes to the base collecting runoff while i hand water. i have new trays coming with built-in drainage for when i start the irrigation. Trying to automate as much as I can this year.
Accidental 500+ PPM feed to this Guava Fig Auto at less than one week old combined with high dome humidity left her roots waterlogged and stressed. The fix was simple but slow: a flush, letting the coco fully dry out, then a light 220 PPM feed. Nearly a week of patience to get her back on track.
Need to defoliate Banana Purple Punch tomorrow. It’s getting a little unwieldy. lol. Also, it’s much more green than it looks. Not sure why my camera is doing that.
Guava Fig 1 is progressing despite myriad issues. Hella resilient. Hoping the flush and fresh nutrient solution straighten things out before she begins flowering.
Are you sure its the camera? I see stripes of yellow along the fan leaves
Yeah, I’m sure. My eyes haven’t failed me.
👍🏿
Your right🙈
You do have stars and strips. Jus don't Wana lead ya wrong buddy look really close sometimes camera sees before you do.
Don’t know what to tell y’all. 🤷🏾♂️
No worries you don't gota say nun jus keep a eye on her or up a lil bit on nutes no big deal
I started a third seed (Guava Fig 2/GF2) because I made so many mistakes with the first two plants this season. It’s my first time growing in coco and doing drip irrigation. This one will benefit from the early mistakes. I have a second tent coming so i can give it its own space and the best chance to thrive. Transplant imminent!
I have a question, I have also started some seeds and they are getting first set of jagged leaves, when should I give them light ?
Wait, what happen to the first 2??
they’re still alive and heading toward flower. i’m referring to letting the reservoir get warm from a circulation pump i actually didn’t need and not noticing for a week. then over feeding one as a seedling accidentally because i thought i had the ppm right. low runoff ph struggles. the one pictured had a slight issue to start, but i got it under control fast and didn’t lose much time. so it’s benefiting from what i fumbled with the first two.
it needs light now but not a full blast turned up grow light. depends on your setup. i’m sure one of the advanced growers can give better guidance. this one has had a mix of dome and sunlight.
Thats good to hear! Glad you got it back on track 👍🏿🤙🏿
GF1 is fully in flower and BPP is taking her time getting there. She’s on day 35 of veg and day 49 overall. I’m wondering if the slow start led to more time, or if it was the high light intensity before it really needed it. Or it could be that this particular plant is taking its time just because.
GF2 is doing very well post transplant. She’s in a 5 gal and the other two are in 3 gal containers.
Everything is dialed in. Had to reconfigure the two in the 3x3 because BPP stretched way more than expected in all directions. I’m really happy with GF1’s turnaround given how poorly she started. Very resilient!
GF2 looks like it’s gonna be wildly bushy already. Should’ve fed her yesterday instead, but oh well.
I’m highly pleased with Banana Purple Punch auto so far. Glad I ran this one again after a couple more years of experience. It also worked out that I may have slowed Guava Fig’s growth at the beginning. She’s got just enough space in the back corner. lol
Growing fine…I think. I’m pretty sure it’s the same pheno as GF1. Very leafy with same scent.
Where did u get guava fig from that sounds good
Mephisto!
That a auto ??? I never really looked but is that all they make ??I manly run photos but occasionally I pop a auto
Yeah, they only do autos. Very reliable genetics though.
A little bit of deficiency due to human error (yet again), but I caught it early. Otherwise, Banana Purple Punch and Guava Fig 1 are doing well.
Still can’t believe BPP got this big in a 3 gal. I’m Team Coco forever! 😆
Yes sir! Them ladies are looking good. I made that switch to coco as well, never looking back
Appreciate it. Can’t wait to get these across the finish line. The small one (GF1) should be ready in a couple weeks!
Amazing

Yes sir! Got them ladies looking good. I made that coco switch as well. Best move ever
Never tried coco but most of the ppl that try it swear by it
Yeah, I can see why. I’m getting a bigger tent for the next grow now that I know what it can do!
Looks good mate!
lol like hulk juice
Started flushing. The sweet tropical smell is finally getting stronger!
Today is the end of week 8 of flower and day 84 overall for this auto. Really happy with how she bounced back from a very rough start. Hoping she picks up a little more frost before chop time.
Yummy
Need to harvest Banana Purple Punch auto soon due to upcoming travel. She’s fallen over once, the fungus gnats are powering up, and the trichomes are just about there on most of the plant.
Day 97 overall, day 47 of flower. Was supposed to be a 65 day strain from germ to harvest. 🙃
Not complaining though. Gonna be a nice little haul after dry and trim!
97 days?! I am growing the same strain currently at Day 28, chose it because of regular rental inspections 😅
It went 76 days when I grew it a couple years ago. This one had an extra long veg period. That previous one definitely didn’t get this big. I got like 90g dry off that one and I’m hoping I’ll get 150+ off this one. 🤞🏾
I should’ve harvested the top buds and let the lower stuff go another week. But with travel, I didn’t want to risk any issues.
Based on other plants I’ve grown, I think there will be at least 175g smokeable. The rest will be hash, tincture, and experiments.
I’ll share the final numbers in the next couple weeks.
Given how Guava Fig 1 started, 56g is a win. Not defoliating led to a lot of small larfy stuff that I ended up freezing. Probably 15g. Maybe a bit more.
The smell after drying was fruit and funk. And the sample I tried was more calming than sedative. I can’t wait to see where the buds are after a few weeks in the grove bags.
The buds in the pic look great man, and sounds like it has a great smell and chill high
And it’s only gonna get better!
I’m going to try a 3month cure with one of my jars if I get some nice buds
I think I left Guava Fig 2 in the solo cup too long or some other human error considering the bud size. It’s in a five gal in its own tent, had a healthy start, and I’ve given it the same regimen as GF1. The two look like twins, except GF2 has even smaller buds. I’ll know more when I chop and can look at how much the roots expanded overall.
Other than that, GF2 is very close to the harvest window based on trichomes, the strong smell in the garage, and overall days.
Sometimes this just happens it's probably something silly going on with the plant it's not on your fault ive had some bluberry og produce big bugs and little popcorn nugs
Transplanting autos will throw it into shock. That will be time lost in your grow. Be there done that. Just a heads up.
Plus it'll flower earlier some times 😉🤨 But ya what he said, if you don't water like a day before take a butter knife pry up bottom an be really easy it can be done without stunting them
That’s not necessarily true. I’ve been transplanting autos for five years and haven’t had an issue. The solo cup sleeve has worked well.
