Not sure if going to pursue or plant a fresh one. Will report back in a week. Don't know if lights were too far away first few days or if the shell being attached a day or two extra messed with the lady (manually removed shell as it was sprouted 48 hours but shell still had all leaves cupped within it. It's in a 20litre fabric pot, using biobizz allmix with a couple inches of clay pellets above the soil, first 10 days or so under generic seedling lighting before switching to mars hydro ts1000

Nothing much to report. Removed some of the fabric pot which was restricting light to lower nodes as a result of underfilling pot (20 litre fabric pot filled w/ biobizz +an inch of clay pellets on top. Should be evident in a pic or two, maybe. Will be going forward either way to give better light and ventilation to bottom of plant. I think I've maybe once watered in past 7 days as was overfed to begin with. First week outta seedling.

so last week one of my cats got stuck in the growspace and collapsed some of the insulation around the plants straight onto the plants, a little further impromptu LST i guess, except the falling objects obstructed most of the light, unfortunately I was out the entire day so unsure how long this was the case, alas no real damage caused, just a little further LST as stated earlier. started nute feeding around day 28, as follows (biobizz; per litre) 0.5ml bio-grow, top-max & bio-heaven 1ml bio-bloom will multiply doses x2 next week with calmag added @1ml

Relocated the lady to allow for more room as filling out nicely, albeit maybe too nicely !! will definitely be using a tent going forward, however will just pursue with what I'm doing at present. Upped the nutes, as listed above. Given a top up one feed inc. 2ml of cal-mag as was going into feed for another plant I have on the go and thought would do no harm. Anyhow, not much else to report

Bit of a reoccurring theme with the leaves... seems to be just the FB and well not entirely sure what's up, introduced cal-mag to try fix her up, alas no such luck, might be the light, might be some of the nutes on the feed chart... seeking advice or knowledge. Fed once with nutes, other twice just flushed with water

Initially treated as calmag def, but unsure now, think possibly light stress ?? Don't know... other ladies seem to be going along okay, only fat banana showing any real cause for concern. Any advice on next steps, apprechiated

It is a late stage Nitrogen and potassium defiency, you should be feeding 4ml per litre of Bio Grow, 3ml per litre Bio Bloom and 2ml per litre of Top Max at this stage according to the BioBizz feed chart. I have used BioBizz for 6 years.

Yeah I also think nitrogen deficiency and a slight potassium deficiency.

Generally under fed with a developing calcium deficiency. Never grow at 24/0........18/6 is optimal.........ALL plants NEED "sleep"! Each and every plant will have its own requirements.....feeding multiple strains the exact same ferts does not always work.

The end is nigh. seem to be sporadically defoliating dead or dying leaves - just can't help myself but i should resist temptation, i think 3 weeks left... lady is on the way out... HOWEVER, i just put two new fat banana seeds to germinate in smaller pots for a new grow (but that's for another diary) either way. got a nice amount of colas but an ever decreasing amount of leaves, hoping to chop in 3 weeks. following biobizz feed chart now which i probably should've all along.
