Week one done and over.
Thought they would have gone a bit bigger, but I have transplanted to bigger pots as I previously needed soil.
Westland Houseplant - Not used before so I'm proceeding with caution...
19-01
The Corkscrew Auto looks like how the name implies 😆 very funky.
Fat Banana Auto has 'fat' wide looking leaves.
Both taking well to the new soil. It is meant for mature plants, but no problem so far.
26/01 - End of week 3
Been an awesome week seeing the difference in the two,
CORKSCREW AUTO, has a small mutation but its very cool in my opinion. Twin middle finger on one of the fan leaves, looks perfectly symmetrical too.
Again no issues with the soil. Loads of thunder flies coming from somewhere so been battling them away.
Not coming from the plant pots, nor are they hovering in masses in the tent, but they are persistent.
Yellow sticky tabs picks most of them up along with a swift wipe of my hand.
Fat banana Auto, well,, looks like a chubby lil indica 😁
Both plants doubled in height with the fat banana being a cm taller.
All is well here in the wasteland.
02.02 end of week 4
Nothing much too say, happy I've got no problems so far.
Fat Banana has doubled in height and has a slight earthy smell.
Corkscrew a bit shorter, I'm not worried. No aroma yet.
No signs of flowering...yet
Any suggestions are welcome
Roll on week 5

I see why the Corkscrew is named as such,
The main sten has a slight twist allowing the arms to stretch round next to each others side making a decent spread of top bud sites...
I like it.
The Fat banana has shot up in height, has great colour and seems to be the one that has a weak smell, especially when the humidity is up.
Quickly filled the tent and now touching the sides, wanted to see these in natural growth, so no training as they are the first time growing this strain.
Thanks for watching 👽 peace

Fat banana, 78cm...
Can't move the light much further up! Ha
Not much too say at the moment otherwise.
No problems so far
Both seem to be coming into flower a bit later than I expected, but I'm not bothered. Defoliation of a just a few fan leaves and aroma is getting slightly stronger from both.
Corkscrew 46cm has a nice short height and even canopy with no training given, cool structure.
That's all this week 😎👍

Fat Banana is at 94cm tall now and with only a distance of 17cm to the light. Not much else to say.
Yellowing in the leaves, mostly the lower older ones, at first I was worried about too much nutrients, but instead have given a bit more as they are hungry so it seems.
Corkscrew is only at 50cm, but nice n bushy. Shorter yet maybe the bigger yielder of the two.
If the plant can take the light with an angle... go for it! Also I would recommend to rotate the LED 180° every run. Uneven heat distribution (heat will rise up!) will inflict the higher LEDs and will make them age faster (if you want to use the lamp for a loooooong time).
Was away for a week so missed this entry putting in today 09/03.
Still alot slower to flower, may have some nutrient issues or I'm just impatient. With training I would have got a bigger yield but this was just a 'see what happens' run.
Happy flowers...

Love the look of the corkscrew and fat Banana is tall, just needs to fatten up
Going with the flow
Not much to say...
Feel free to comment or give advice.
Peace
