I started all three girls on the 6th of May 2024. Slushy fist immediately germinated and went a bit leggy. Fat Banana and Purple Punch both took a bit longer to pop above the ground, but they both stayed more compact. A bit of leg is never an issue though! Planted Slushy Fist a bit deeper to allow more stability. Under the large grow lights she seems to be much happier. The other two are doing alright, but Purple Punch has a bit of yellow discoloration on her true leaves which worries me. We will have to see how it rides, but if it looks rough I will have to pull it. I did a Happy Frog X Ocean Forest combo this time. I filled all three pots with about 3 gallons of Ocean forest/perlite and then topped the last two gallons of each with Happy Frog. I am hoping the first week or two in the Happy Frog will help avoid the heavier nutes in OF until the plants are ready.
Very excited to see how Slushy Fist does! I managed to win 5 seeds during a 4/20 giveaway and I can't wait to watch her grow! I had never heard of DreamBeans before and even this site hasn't, so this might be something special!
I am excited to try Fat Banana and Purple Punch (Hopefully!) my last few RQS runs have been very successful.
Good luck!
The fat banana plants in my current grow are a bunch of dense bushes, I hardly can see the stem/nodes through all the side branches and leaves.
Good strain choice!
@Shishio, well my bananas did not stretch too much so far. They rather grow slow but steady and keep being very bushy.
Did defoliate last sunday and now I have to redo again because I cant see the ground again with multiple layers of leaves blocking lower nodes...
@taprootArmy, looks like my Banana is following that same path! I hope her flower stretch gives me some room to work with or I will need to get the clippers out!
