GrowsHimself 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.

GrowsHimself 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.

GrowsHimself 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.

GrowsHimself 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.

GrowsHimself 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.

You getting any banana on the nose at all?
GrowsHimself
GrowsHimselfcommented1y ago
@PersonalSmok3s, whilst growing there was a definite aroma of banana. Now she is dried and harvested it very much smells like punch. There is perhaps a lingering suggestion of banana but an overwhelmingly fruity/tropical/punch fragrance. It’s a really lovely strain to be honest! I also have some Fat Banana seeds from RQS but I haven’t bothered popping them yet 😅

GrowsHimself
GrowsHimselfcommented1y ago
@@Majinstatic, I am beginning to suspect that the 24hr light schedule is the culprit. Most of my grows recently have been fairly long during flowering. I was totally surprised with how purple she turned out though! She looks great and hopefully smokes just as nice as she looks :D
