Really happy with the progress of my auto Banana Blaze from Dutch Passion! This Indica is the tallest in my collection, even double the size of the Skywalker. It started outside for four weeks and now it’s under lights for about 23 hours a day. I increased the light gradually from 18 to 24 hours. The change has made my plant reaching to nearly the size like those amazing ones you see on Reddit and grow diaries. Haha still a lot to learn may be will also upgrade lighting for winters.
I’ve changed how I feed it because I used too much nitrogen before. Now I’m just using potassium and phosphorus from the BioBizz Bloom and Top-Max nutrients. I also started defoliating a bit because it was too bushy. I removed some inward-turning leaves to help it grow better. Unlike my AutoCritical Origin Skywalker, which I didn’t defoliate and noticed smaller buds at the bottom, I’m being careful not to overdo it with this one. I’m just taking off one leaf a day and seeing how it goes the next day. It’s working well so far, touch wood, and I can’t wait to see how it turns out in the next one and a half to two months.
Happy growing to everyone!
Hey Baba! I'm growing this right now too, also with a pretty low-tech setup. Think I'll start a diary soon too. Just wanted to say, I hope you give us an update soon!
