Seeds from year 2020, were in the fridge. Straight into the water, seeds opened after 18 hours. Then in paper towels for 1 day and planted in soil, came out after 2 days.
I was planning to run without any nutes but I can see that my plants really need some. I’ll give them some in a few days. Flowering began. Did some defoliation on them.
8th week, almost 9. Last week I gave them some nutes and looks like they like it. Looking healthy to me. Flowers getting some weight on them. Looking forward for some tasty buds. :)
Another week began, flowers getting bigger. Plants looks yelowish and Im not really sure what it is, but thinking it could be wrong watering, water ph or not so airy soil. Or some kind of nutrient deficiency..
Another week is over.. last time in week 9 i gave them some nutes for the first time, mix of biobizz grow-bloom-fishmix-calmag. Flowers become bigger and there is a nice odor in the greenhouse.
Week 11. Fat Banana is maybe ready to be choped in like 1-2 weeks.. Plants looking happy after biobizz nutes that I gave 2 times in last two weeks, they recovered and are not so yellowish anymore.. All in all i think everything looks fine and buds looking delicious! Fat banana have a really nice and different aroma, mix of fruits..
I would start my two weeks if I was in your shoes. Flush the substrate and let her fade would be my course of action. Then watch trichromes with a jeweler's loupe or something. Then harvest at your desired likening. Enjoy. 🌱
i do similar...
each plant can progress a bit differently, so adjust as needed... i typically see a slow roll of amber popping up. i like to see it minimally in any locale i check... if that's "5-10%" i don't know for certain.. i just wait to see similar things occur.
density of nugs
pistil coloration / retraction
trichomes
use all three as some things do vary plant-to-plant. i've had some that refuse to show amber. also good to know "cloudy" is actually first sign of degradation of THC in trichomes, not amber.. .that is further along in process. you also only see the surface... so... don't get hung up on what "should be" ... just harvest at a consistent point. if you think it's a bit too "couchlock" for you, you can easily harvest a bit sooner in a consistent manner while using 3 points to guide rather than 1. trial and error for fine resolution... all you can do.
No, harvest now, unfortunately you might be a bit late already, so don't wait any longer.
In future, harvest while there are still a few white pistils (2-3%) left for an energetic high, this is when THC is at its highest and CBD levels (which cause the sleepy effect) are still relatively low.
Actuallly, I can see a few white pistils still, so you are right at the point for harvest if you want energetic, but a bit earlier in future would be my advice.
Anyway, chop away!
So.. end of the week 12. Today was last day for my Fat Banana.. Trichomes became milky and as I want an energetic effect I decided to chop it today. Two of Northern Lights are not ready yet, will chop them in 1-2 weeks.
The growing was easy all the way. I have made some mistakes in the beginning as I used not the best soil and also should have been using bigger container. And I also used nutes only in the last 2-3 weeks, I think plant could be bigger if I feed them from the start.
