Borberad Anesias Blueberry Banana is a really nice auto seed according to the manufacturer's description, which is meant to accompany my photos in their veg tent as a little experiment.
(Excerpt from the original strain description
The Auto Blueberry Banana combines the fruity banana flavor with the sweet-sour berry aroma of the Blueberry, offering an unforgettable taste experience. It has the strongest Indica effect of all the autos we have found so far. This automatic Indica-dominant strain produces a full body high and is the perfect choice for relaxing in the evening or chilling in the sun. It grows vigorously with a strong main bud and many side branches. Many plants show colorful purple and red or almost black leaves and buds at the end of the flowering period. The cured buds are wonderfully sticky and compact. Auto Blueberry Banana will reach about 70-90 cm in height and can be harvested 10 weeks after germination when cultivated with a 20/4 light cycle.

However, the lady will have to grow for me at 18/6 instead of the often-used 20/4, as she will be accompanying the photos as a treat in the grow tent 🍭.
I’ll start soaking the seeds on 10/04 at 10 PM in 1% hydrogen peroxide. After a maximum of 20 hours, the seed will then go into a small nest of coconut soil directly into its 8L final pot. About 106 hours after soaking, so 86 hours after planting, the little seedling will show up. 🌱💚 I’ve decided this week that I won’t be doing things halfway with this little flower either. She’s getting her own light. So far, she was under a Mars Hydro FC 1500 evo with the photos, which I only use for the vegetative phase. From the first week of vegetative growth, a GCX 4 pwr will provide a proper dose of photons for the little flower. 🌞 😀
In case anyone is wondering, I adjusted the days to the date of the day she came out of the soil.

Borberad Such a pretty little one! It feels like you can watch her grow. What took a bit longer during germination, she's making up for now. ☺️

Borberad Week two begins with leaves that are getting wider and bigger. 😊
Looks like it wants to be quite a broad-leaved little flower. 🌴
I've gradually increased the amount of fertilizer throughout the week.

Borberad A nice little plant for day 15 in the sun. 😍 Let's see what the week brings. Due to the short internodes, I've thought about training the whole lady horizontally. 🤪 A bit of LST never hurts. 😄 I probably won't top her for that. Trying something new every now and then. 🤗

Borberad The fourth week is starting excellently. The plant is responding to the LST wonderfully and can be directed as desired to create enough space between the shoots later on. I'm really excited about the option of just bending the plant instead of topping it so far. Of course, it's also quite a bit of stress for the little flower and will probably push the flowering phase back a bit. But we're not in a hurry.

Borberad On day 29, the first signs of the upcoming flowering are showing. Small initial pre-flowers in the leaf axils with long stigmas and changes in the shoot tips. Fertilization is therefore switched to flowering. Throughout the week, the little plant has started to stretch a bit.

Borberad The new week begins with a slight stretching of the flower and a wonderful scent. So far, I can only report positives. No deficiency symptoms, nice growth with many nodes. I will probably have to do some lollipopping and thin out the little flower a bit for better light penetration and ventilation sometime next week.

Borberad Week three of flowering and everything is great! Due to the dense structure, I generously thinned the plant on flowering day 19. With photoperiodic strains, I usually wait until at least flowering day 21. However, the little Auto Blueberry Banana seems quite advanced, so I have no concerns here. Since the middle of the week, the leaf tips seem to show some signs of over-fertilization. The drain with osmosis water at pH 6.4 and 20 microSiemens has pH 6.7 and 800 microSiemens. I'm reducing the nitrogen supply a bit by decreasing Hesi Bloom and adding PK 13/14 as a supplement. This way, I'm simultaneously increasing phosphorus and potassium.

Borberad It's just always nice to take a look inside the tent. 🍀
The buds are getting prettier and the little flower smells fruity. 8l was a bit small, hence the little flower. That doesn't change the beauty of the flower. Still, the next autos will get 20l. 😊
There's plenty of space in width.

Borberad Everything is going smoothly! And you can see and smell that it's nearing the end. I like to imagine it, but I really believe it smells like blueberries.😶🌫️🤪
With my eyes on the trichomes, it's Day 65 Harvest Day, and that’s despite an 18/6 cycle (but it gets a lot of light too ☀️).

Borberad Actually, she could have been harvested by the end of last week based on the trichomes. Unfortunately, I didn't have the time, so she was allowed to mature until day 65.
Nach etwas mehr als 9 Wochen ging es der Guten dann tatsächlich an den Kragen und die Ernte durfte zur Trocknung in den Cannatrol.
Durchwegs hat die Pflanze gut abgeliefert und während des Grow gab es keinerlei Komplikationen und sie duftete in der Blüte herrlich beerig, fruchtig. Zur Ernte saß das Blümchen schließlich voll mit Trichomen und war herrlich anzuschauen. Da tat es einem schon leid, das Blümchen zu fällen, aber dies ist ja unser Ziel.
Zur Ernte mit einem Nassgewicht von 297g gibt es nichts zu meckern.
Nach 8 Tagen im Cannatrol schmeckt sie bereits lecker blumig und etwas säuerlich, frisch.

Borberad Conclusion:
The plant was able to convince me, unlike three other autoflowers I grew and tested some time ago, that cultivating this one is indeed worthwhile. For those who want to grow only this, it really allows for good quality with great taste.
Regarding the harvest: Wet weight of 297g, nothing to complain about there.
About the taste:
After 8 days in the Cannatrol, it already tastes deliciously floral and a bit sour, one could say berry-like, fresh. However, it will surely gain flavor over a few weeks of curing in the Troll. It was a delightful grow with a very satisfying result.
Thanks Anesia💜, there will definitely be some more autoflowers growing in my tents. 💚
@Irati_Anesia,
Flavor-wise, it's really a fine thing, not quite as terpene strong as your Frozen Black Cherry, but also very tasty and extremely smooth in vapor and smoke, very pleasant to consume and still very potent. Top auto you've created there, Anesia.
Nice plants. I seen in ur earlier pics u had ur humidifier in the grow tent have you had problems with it being so close to your grow lights I'm always worried if I put my humidifier in my grow tent that the light will get messed
@Ninjabuds,
Hi, no, there haven't been any problems so far. But I'm always a bit worried, so I always direct the mist so that it doesn't hit the lamps directly. Although Greenception lamps are supposed to be splash-proof.
@Irati_Anesia,
Yes, it has done well and already smells quite pleasant. I'm trying to keep the light right at the limit. ☀️ If you notice anything about the little flower, please write. I'm grateful for any tips. 💚🍀
