mangojones The correct strain wasn't listed - this is Banana Punch by Seeds Mafia. I got these seeds free for a contest on ICmag. The grow has to be complete by March 2024, so I'll be vegging until early December and then flipping to flower. I'll take a clone or two in case I want to keep growing the strain, but these plants are all on a deadline! I put the seeds in a glass of water with a drop of peroxide until I saw roots, then planted them into Root Riot cubes. Two days later and the taproots were already sticking out the bottom of the cubes! Day 4 since I got my hands on the seeds and they are already in solo cups. Very vigorous cultivar so far!

mangojones Banana Punch seedlings are thriving and putting out their first real leaves. They looked a touch too close to the light, so I ditched the tray they were on and put them down in the pots, pretty much at the exact height they will be when planted. The roommate plant for Banana Punch is a weird bagseed I might end up killing. The grow is so slow and weird, it will probably get replaced by the first good clone I take from my sativa mom.

mangojones These seeds are really thriving! They are noticeably bigger every day and will be potted up soon. I'm waiting to see roots through the bottom of the cups. I didn't give them a full dose of recharge, but I was watering my mature plants with it and gave them all a shot of it.

mangojones All three are growing really well! The differences in the lights they are under have become quite apparent. I should consider upgrading the second light.

mangojones All three plants are growing very well! They are showing the difference in light quality however - I am due for an upgrade now. They share the light with my autos that didn't perform amazingly, so hopefully the light upgrade will help the next run.

mangojones The one in the autopot was growing so well, I topped her. Time will tell if I regret that in the space. This strain is growing so well, I will be taking clones in the next few weeks for a family member who wants to start growing. I think this would be a great first strain - it is growing so easily for me.

mangojones Busy week, not a lot of pictures. The big one is bouncing back from being topped very well. I might top them again to get 4 main colas. It's sharing a tray with the biggest clone, so it has extra room to bush out.

mangojones She bounced back so well from topping that I topped both mains again and did some training. They still have a while in veg, so the next month is my chance to train them.

mangojones The weather got significantly colder, and I finally researched VPD and figured mine out. I picked up an oil radiator because I have to run off an extension cord down in my basement. The much-improved VPD lead to noticeable growth. I also defoliated everything to make sure the plants round out more as we start to prep for flower. I will flip to 12/12 in early-mid December.

Good luck with the rest of the grow, but be careful in the future with cheap seeds/genetics...These "SeedsMafia" are romanian scammers that are reselling old mostly non-germinating seeds that they buy in bulk from some cheap breeders for cents and resell at way way higher price...
