Fifth week of vegetation started.
I've changed the water into the pots. The fan is turned three hours on, one off. Inkbird parameters are unchanged (20° -3° H +2°C). Plants are healthy and started to be bushy. Light power to 100%.
D29: changed water and added fresh nutrients: for each 20 liters pot I've added 35ml grow, 20ml micro and 15ml bloom. pH @ 5.7, EC 1.8 I've added 10 ml of pH- to each pot.
D31: plants become thirsty, I've refilled each pot with at least 0.5 l of tap water. pH @ 5.7, EC @ 1.5.
D32: check, things are going well.
D34: check: [email protected] EC 1.5. Added 1l tap water to each pot.
wow, big difference in the last 3 weeks, Banana is getting fat!😍
when did your stretch start/stop?
My bananas are in the beginning of week 6 (2nd flowering) and there isnt a lot stretch so far...
@taprootArmy, thanks for comment. I think something goes wrong with the website because the reply I sent yesterday does not appear anymore. Anyway, the stretching becomes in the third week of flowering to stop after three weeks. The buds became fatter during the last two week.
@taprootArmy, thanks for your comment. Three plants were two in the beginning, but one has been removed from the tent after a strange sickness to the roots. The stretch began during the third week of flowering and stops after two/three weeks. In the last two weeks the buds begin to be fast as I never experienced with the soil. The next time I think that I will top her, especially if I will decide to grow her in hydroponics.
Holy F, that are some bushes :) Now you are making me nervous. Do you think topping fat banana auto would be a good idea to control the height?
Also might I ask why you dont defoliate?
Good Luck and happy harvest!
@taprootArmy, I think you're right. I should have to top the plants to control their height, I didn't because I didn't believe they'd grow so much. This is my first experience with hydroponics and the same strain that during the past grow reached 80cm this time is trying to pierce my tent. Moreover, also the missing defoliation caused a big problem to ventilation, in fact I think that one of my plant is dying. Now I removed her from the tent trying to understand if I can do something to her. Let's see
