-WEEK STARTED ON 19/12 / PICS FROM 20/12-
Purple Banana Cream is doing rather well. She is continuing to stretch, and the slow down in this has come about later than expected.
Her pistils have begun to brown earlier than expected, and overall her growth is rather quick. Her calyxes have already begun to swell, however her trichomes are still premature and she still has a long way to go in terms of overall flower growth. Usually this would be a sign of hermaphroditism, however nothing has been noticed and I have checked with a jeweller's loupe as well.
Given her described flowering time, I can only presume that she will continue to chunk out considerably. I am hoping my predictions are correct, and I will end up with rather large and bulbous colas.
Aroma wise, she smells rather sweet. Almost like a sweet banana already, which is strange to me since I'm familiar with banana terpenes beginning with a sort of spice before developing further. She is immediately sweet, and very pleasing to the nose. There are 10 main colas since this picture was taken, within canopy height. I am very much looking forward to seeing how much weight she is able to gain in her flowers.
