Critical Banana Smoothie Auto

Cool week, did some reading about that stem that looks like multiple fused stems and it’s actually something called fasciation which is pretty rare. It causes some really gnarly buds that are a pain to trim but aren’t harmful and usually pack a lot of mass so I’m keeping it. She’s stretching a lot so she’s looked a bit lanky and droopy but I think that’ll resolve itself one the early flower stretch is done. This is a pretty strange plant and the first I’ve grown from a small breeder but she seems pretty vigorous — lots of top sites and no apparent deficiencies or excess at this point. She’s definitely more vigorous than the sweet mango auto that she’s sharing the tent with. I’ve done a bit of defoliation each time I go into the tent but I think I’ll need to do a more thorough one soon so she can really thrive and get some long, dense colas. Still super stoked on this plant and can’t wait for her to start filling out with flowers!
