This is going to be my first indoor grow, so the first week was quiet impressive, as the plant began to grow bigger on day 6 and 7. Also it took me some days to setup the light so that the temperature is high enough and there is enough amount of light for the plant.
Especially the light was a problem for me as the measurements seem to be off a lot and the plant started stretching a lot. Got a different tool and had to increase the amount of light a lot.
I did not water that much but only sprayed the top layer of soil as the soil already was watered before I planted the seed.
On day 8, I adjusted the light to approximately 16 DLI (light cycle 18/6) and also achieved a better temperature due to the higher output of the lamp. The ventilation inside the tent is running 24/7 and is providing the plant with a slight wiggle. On day 11, I decided to add some new soil to better support the stem of the plant, which is why the measurable height didn't change much. On day 12, I watered the plant for the first time with 0.5 liters of water and 0.25 ml of BioBizz Grow, with slight drainage (a few milliliters). In the days prior, I misted the soil with water to maintain humidity at about 70%. Stretching was less of a problem than it was last week. Additionally, I can definitely smell the plant a little bit. Since I plan to increase the intensity of the light within the next few days, I have already adjusted the light slightly from 16 to 18 DLI (approximately 280 PPFD) and will continue to adjust it until it reaches 20 DLI.
This Week I had some issues with watering. First off I didn't know if I gave the plant to much water or waited to long in between watering periods. But even with that the plant kept growing. On the last day of this week I added a ScrOG-net to be prepared for the stretch. This is the first Week that the plant showed early flowering pistils but I would not identify it as flowering-phase. Although I started to switch to the flowering nutrient plan from BioBizz.
From my perspective the first Week of flowering, no more LST but ScrOG optimization. Still my first indoor grow so I am quit happy it went so far. Always having problems with watering, but it works. Given the fact, that I didn't remove any leaves but one, the plant is very bushy. Next week I might remove some leaves in the dark areas where they already turn yellowish.
Again I did nothing this week but cutting some old leaves in dark areas. Plant is growing further and is getting a little yellowish but nothing that bad. I now adjusted the LED to about 45 DLI which is nearly 700 PPFD at peak. Smell is definitely getting stronger but I would say it is still normal and not strong, although I would recommend a carbon-filter. At this I still have enough room to grow in my tent so I am not planning to do anything about the ending stretch.
Flowering goes on, I seem to have some smaller issues with tips/leafs turning yellow/brownish. I will not check PH or EC and hope everything works until I can harvest.
Buds are still gaining a lot of volume while the height doesn't change anymore. Leaves are still showing that there is a problem with something but as I do not measure PH or EC I will never find out on my own. Added CalMag some days ago. My goal now is to wait for harves, nothing to do for me anymore. Not changing the running system, could remove leaves but never the less I just want to let it grow.
Again nothing special to tell. Flowering continues, no bananas plant seems to be fine. Keep on waiting and watering all 2-4 Days with 1.5 Liters of water + BioBizz (Grow, Bloom, TopMax, CalMag) using the BioBizz nutrient sheet. I hope I can harvest soon but nothing milky to see anywhere. Time runs for me a I plan to go on vacation soon. Might remove some leaves but I just like how the plant looks right now.
