Banana Purple Punch

She has been growing fantastically, haven’t watered since initial pot soaking following germination. Humidity in tent sitting high but I’m happy during the early stages for it to be there. Before plants get too bushy and certainly before flowering I’m upgrading the inline fan, old fan controller broke so having to use a much smaller ram fan.

She doesn’t seem to be growing as vigorously as the other plants germinated at the same time. I think ph is the issue but my tester broke so having to wait on replacement. Added Biotabs as she was showing some signs of deficiencies and treated with 2ml of orgatrex and 1g bactrex in 1l water. Will feed another 1l solution of orgatrex and bactrex today then water for rest of week.

She seems to be responding positively to the addition of the BioTab last week. Doesn’t appear to be any deficiencies. Continuing with once weekly feeding of Orgatrex

She is growing much more happily since the addition of root tabs, seems to have improved the root zone/compost overall. Some slightly high stress training as I essentially super cropped two of the branches whilst training.

Continuing to tie branches as they grow to keep the canopy spread out, I might move a pot into my other tent this week. No issues with grow so far, happy with BioTabs performance.

She has doubled in height since last week, think she is slowing down her stretch now. She has really bounced back and has caught up with her bud development. I continue to remove all fan leaves from lower canopy leaving only the top 2 or 4 sets of new leaf growth depending on how developed they are. She responded well to the addition of Bio PK to last feed and next week will be feeding with compost tea.

She seems to have finished her stretch, she has ended up dwarfing the sativa dominant Strawberry Gorilla. Watered once with compost tea and then plain water every other watering, usually works out 2-3 times a week.

Continues growing nicely, buds are starting to swell nicely and already feel quite dense. Continue to give once weekly compost tea feeding and plain all following waterings.

Continue to feed once weekly with compost tea then plain water all following waterings. She still seems to have a lot of growing left to do, but her buds are definitely starting to swell and the purple continues to come through as she matures.

She is really starting to swell now and the purple continues to really show amazingly in the bud. Once weekly compost tea feeding continues and plain water feedings following it as per usual also. No issues with her growing very nice and easy.

Continues to grow nicely, did some heavy defoliation to let some more light lower down. Once weekly compost tea feed and plain water all following feedings still.

Continuing once weekly feed of compost tea, reducing Orgatrex to 1ml/l when preparing the tea. Plain water all following feeds. Did a heavy defoliation to allow more light at the bud sites and to make life easier later when it comes to trim. Continually monitoring the Trichomes checking for amber. With this one being an indica leaning hybrid I am going to wait for plenty of plenty amber before harvesting.

Continue to feed once weekly with compost tea then plain water all following feedings. She is starting to slow down so I will start checking for ambers.

Continuing with once weekly compost tea feed and then following with plain water. Keeping an eye on Trichomes for any ambers forming. Still seems to be doing a little bit of swelling though.

Still not noticing a huge number of amber on bud. She still seems to be doing some growing though. Once weekly compost tea feed continues. Will be cutting within the next two weeks.

She has been waiting for a space in the herbdryer once in she was dried for around 7 days before getting final trim. I am very happy with the final dry weight and even more so with the incredible colour of the bud. Her aroma is excellent as well with a truly fruity punch smell hitting hard.
