Yesterday this little one was born and today i put her on my garden table next to my Royal Dwarf.
let's hope the sun will keep on shining in Amsterdam!
(Soil: CANNA Terra Professional PLUS 50L)
Last days there was no sunlight so i had 2 give her some extra light with loving and care ;)
Now finally the sun is shining and she is shining with it!
I have put her in a 11 LTR pot already (so she wont have much transplant- stress)
So she can really go bananas!
She is still going strong, there was a lot of cold wind so i made her a shield for a few days.
Now she is windshield free so she can breathe :)
she is a little bit beaten up by the wind but we all know: Bananas are masters
Gave her a little bit of BioRHIZOTONIC for her roots 💪so she can stay strong
She grew alot this week and yesterday i saw that she is going into flower already :)
I gave her some bioflores so she can grow colas like big bananas!
The wind is softer and warmer, it is finally summer time in Amsterdam so now i only have to worry about 'invaders' who want to make my plants their home. (little mosquitoes, we all know those little bastards)
but i got that under control.
And luckily there are some other visitors who are just chillin, like the dragon fly (see pix)
So time 2 enjoy the summer time with some nice smelling flowers!
My banana was a little bit under the weather this week..
Maybe i gave her some nutes too early..or maybe i gave her to much water..
Sometimes it is just a guess with those outdoor ladies..
But i guess maybe all she needed was some nice HOT sunshine, like the last few days..
BC now she is recovering and her leaves are rising up again!
So you can imagine, its a sigh of relief.
BC i really want some FAT bananas @ the end of summer !!
@-}}--}
My banana is getting fatter but not much bigger..
Idk, she is having 'claws' and usually the cause is over watering..
But she was weak from the start.. I can blame the weather ( i have put her inside @the window with bad weather..) and/or me just being
not careful with watering and nutes..
But maybe she is just a 'not so good seed' 😢.. My other plants have zero probs..
On the other side her buds are growing strong 💪
And we all know Cannabis plants are masters(mistresses 😎) and recover fast, i just know, or maybe i hope, she is not going to let me down in yield 🙏
She is doing great, she has recovered from the bad weather (again..)
She did not grow in height (maybe 2 cm) but she is getting fatter and fatter (we all love FAT bananas 😎)
I give her every other day a little bit of BioCannaFlores (TY @MedicineMaker 🙏 )Those nutes give her everything she needs in this stage of flowering 👍
The trichomes are already forming.. so now its time to sparkle 😵
She is smelling so nice!
Yesterday there was some rain so i have put her inside for a night, my house smelled so good!
I have slept like a baby 😏
I gave her some BIOBOOST so her buds can taste real sweet👍
she is not so big that's becouse i have made some mistakes with watering a few weeks ago (shame on me)
but she has recovered (like cannabis do..)and She is growing like a real fat banana😎
Happy growings👊
OK now we get it
She got her name becouse she is just a real FAT BANANA!🙌
She is really getting FATTER and FATTER and is almost ready for harvest (i think monday..)👊
At first i have thought that she did not grow so big bc i made some mistakes with the watering schedule
Becouse she was just looking so dry..
Now i realized, it was a caterpiller i have cought in my Royal Dwarf!✊
She sucked her dry when she was just entering flowerstage.. so u can imagine💀
I saw the traces and damage but
I could not find it but then i finally found it in my Royal Dwarf..
Any way, those are the things u have 2 deal with when ur growing outdoors
they can be very stealth and sneaky.
It doesn't really matter anyway becouse look at this beast!💪
She does not care about any pests or insects, she will just use all her potential
and let it grow!😎
beautiful strain.
Its a real fat banana👍
She is very resiliant and forgiving of my mistakes
Vape tastes very fruity and spicy and get's me high as a kite👍 😵
My little FAT banana is no more..
She could have been bigger but there where some problems in the veg.stage
But that you can blame all on me, i did not spot the caterpiller who was sucking her dry..
Blah bla, that's in the past, now i want to concentrate on this harvest!
Im a little bit dizzy (or just High😵)becouse she smelled very nice when i chopped her..
I have used a lot of buds for making oil becouse that is what i use 2 have a good night sleep 💤
And her buds smelled so nice, my eyes were watering, so i threw in a few extra in for the oil..
If the weather was a bit better i would have left her for a few days more..
because there were some buds who were not quite ready yet
But it is cold and rainy.. and i have learned in the past
That it is better to save the buds when they are almost ready.. because the weather is not getting much better this week...
Must beware of Bud- rot💀
anyways..
Thank you for your service, FAT BANANA🙏
It has been a pleasure😍
HAPPY HARVEST!!
Beautiful outdoor grow! 👏 There is nothing like seeing the leaves move in the natural breeze.👈 In my limited experience I've noticed autos seem to be more sensitive to feeding and I usually start with 1/4 or 1/2 dose of nutrients every other watering. Plus it depends on the soil you are using. Best of luck and happy growing! 👈😀
@Hologram, Of course! Well, like I said I have limited experience and learning everyday. It's so nice to have this GD community for the support. Best of luck and happy growing! 👈👊
Nice looking ladies,i see you got some little black bugs there.. Maybe this will help,i mixed tabaco with water and sprayed on the plant the insects don’t like the smell of tabaco.. GL with the grow man :)
@2bestoned, THANK YOU for ur advice 🙏 I really appriciate that 👊
i usually dont wanna spray on my plants when they are in flower so i kill the bugs now with my vingers and toothpix..
But maybe spraying some tabaco water tonight.. is not gonna harm!
TQ 👍
This is one of the only RQS strains I’ve ever grown, it was a few years ago now, it was back before I new growdiaries existed.
She was an absolute beast! One of the highest yielding autos I’ve ever grown, pulled 11oz dry from one plant in a 5 gallon fabric pot, grown in coco/perlite.
Buds were rock solid and had a really strong OG taste. Never really got any whiff of banana, still trying to find a full on banana tasting strain 🤷♂️🤦♂️
Good luck with your girl, she’ll pick up in no time 🌱💚
@PersonalSmok3s, thq! 🙏
I have never grown fat bananas before but i have seen them and the plant really look like a bunch of bananas
with her big colas!.. So i think the name is not so much about the taste 😎..
But thats why i wanted to try her in my garden this summer👌
😍😍😍 I love Fat Banana's taste 🤤
I really hope that you enjoy it!
And i hope you share your oil recipe 😁😁 'cause i'm trying from about 20 years! 😭
All the best for you! 🙏
@Omisan, Thank you Bud👊 Next week im gonna make my smoke review of this banana, can't wait!
And when i make my oil, i will make a diary esp. 4 you!! 😍 (and @yan402 😁)
