I had 6 plants originally with the addition of 2 fruity pebbles.
Last week or 2 start harming and popping bananas.
So I chased the nanas and pollen sacs and in the next day or 3, more kept coming so I made an executive decision and chopped their down and ran them over with the lawn mower

A few more details.
I put my fan/filter outside of the tent for better light clearance (with the duct near the driver to suck out hot air) and it appears to be working better smell wise but the temp is a little higher (77° instead of 74°) no big deal, still within range.
The (redacted brand) self watering pot bases are now glorified pot stands. Instead of mixing 6, now 4, gallons of fertilizer solution everyday I can get away with 5-6 liters.
Yes, most of the plants would completely empty the gallon reservoir in a day and I have gone their a total of 4+ liters of canna a+b.
Another complaint about the planters is that that they really need a bubbler or something to keep the water moving. I had to wash them every effing day just due to the amount of crystalline build up where that list bit of water evaporated.

Ok today was harvest day.
I wanted to get a picturesque photo of each plant in the tent by themselves however, gravity had another plan.
In order we have purple queen, fruity pebbles plant 2, fruity pebbles plant 1 and sundae driver.
Edit: the first and 2nd pictures were fruity pebbles plant 2.
PS sorry for any distortion as my lens was covered in trichomes.
Edit edit: THE 2ND AND 3RD PICS ARE FRUITY PEBBLES 2. JFC

The sundae driver was quite larfy. Probably the thickest bush. However it was good looking larf and just stuck a bunch of branches on a screen and put it into my garage just to try to get the trichs off it.
Also, for being the longest flowering plant per breeder specs, it had the most amber trichs and everything was harvested week 9.

One day I’ll learn to properly lollipop the plants.
I usually do it a week before flip and do some more clean up a few weeks after.
HOWEVER…every single time I do it, the clean 1/3rd or sometimes even 2/3rds of the bottom suddenly become the clean 1/8th or 1/5th of the bottom after the stretch is all said and done.
After getting herms or bananas a few times this year (first time getting them…ever) I’m trying to minimize stress even though I do think some stress is good.

The purple queen was such a nice looking plant that I hated harvesting it.
My basement isn’t the most appealing place which really set the tone for harvesting it.
I felt like the antagonist in one of those hack and slash grind house horror movies, you know, the ones with like meat hooks or whatever…

I’m a terrible photographer.
Per tradition, I really went crazy trimming the best looking plant and neglected the others.
So I put a ton of branches w/ viable buds in a contractor bag and stuck it in the garage. Maybe I’ll buck them, wait for a freeze and sift the remnants.
I need to really get lollipopping down to avoid this.
Trimming as anally as I do gets real old, real quick. I have 2 pairs of scissors I rotate out of an alcohol bath every ten minutes.

The title also says product testing and I’ll give a little rundown:
One product tested was a (brand x) sub irrigated planter deals that water via wick.
Worked ok in veg but when flower time came and needed refilling every day @1 gallon of feed per plant, it got tiresome.
Take plants out, clean crystallized sediment, check wick plus the paranoia that if the bottom of the feeder is that salty, what do the roots look like that never have water going through them?
So I flushed pretty religiously every 3 weeks.
Then I gave up, took out the wicks and just started drain-to-waste feeding uses the bases as the catch.
Rigged a 1/2 hose to a shop vac attachment and just sucked the water out of the bases every week or so.
