Fat Banana (Grow 28)

Bluemels After 4 - 5 days and around 23°C, all the seedlings were visible 😍

Bluemels Tag 11: Not all seedlings have developed, one seedling even has a total failure. Still, they all look quite delicate 😬 Good thing I started with 5 seeds of this strain.

Bluemels Day 18: The growth of the Fat Banana leaves a bit to be desired. That's why I've decided to grow 2 plants in one box. I just hope they don't become too different from each other 😒 Day 20: With a heavy heart, I've now decided on just 1 plant. The two are just too different in growth for me. Day 23: Time to repot + topped at 4 nodes.

Bluemels Day 25: The Fat Banana seems small but she's still hiding her arms a bit. She's very strong. Day 30: I'm starting with LST and scrog.

Bluemels Tag 32: The Fat Banana bends really well, nothing has broken so far, even though the branches are very thick. 😁

Bluemels Tag 39: It will still take a little while until the Fat Banana fills the net. Today I topped her on 3 branches and lightly defoliated to make watering easier 😁

Bluemels Tag 47: Defoliated again and installed a second net 😀

Bluemels Tag 53: I defoliated the Fat Banana a lot today. It's still lacking a bit in height and shape. I want to tackle that in the coming week. And then I'll send it into flowering next weekend 😊 At least that's my plan 😜

Bluemels Tag 60: Finally, it's time for the flowering stage for the Fat Banana 😎

Bluemels Tag 67: It's a relaxed grow with the Fat Banana, but it also requires more patience. It doesn't stretch too much. Next week, I'll thin it out a bit more.

Bluemels Day 74: The Fat Banana has stretched more than I expected. Tomorrow I will defoliate her a bit more and hope she doesn't stretch any further, there's no more space for the lamp. 😬 Day 75: Unfortunately, I had to top the Fat Banana in the middle, otherwise the tips would be too close to the lamp. I hope she can handle it. 😨 And it was necessary to thoroughly defoliate below.

Bluemels Tag 81: The Fat Banana has stretched much more than I expected. The distance to the lamp is very tight, barely 30cm. The lamp hangs just below the ceiling and slightly angled. I hope it doesn't get any bigger 😰

Bluemels Tag 88: The Fat Banana has finished its stretch. It's gotten pretty tight with the lamp.

Bluemels Tag 95: The Fat Banana lives up to its name. It produces quite fat buds and smells very sweet 😘

Bluemels Tag 116: From today, the flushing period begins, only un-fertilized water. And in 2 weeks, it will be harvest time, I'm really excited to see the final result. She definitely already smells amazing 😍

Bluemels Tag 123: The Fat Banana smells very sweet. Harvest is in a week! 😁

Bluemels So far, I haven't noticed anything banana-like with the Fat Banana. Maybe that will come later 😁
