Organic Banana?

Krisis 04/18/25. She’s 7 days old. Running this again due to being asked so much… it’s driving me well.. bananas. 🤪🤪 This time around I’m going to be attempting organic for the first time. Maybe I’ll fuck shit up less? Only one way to find out eh? Wishing myself good luck. Hopefully no rotten bananas round here 🍀🍀🤞

Krisis 04/25/25. She just turned 2 weeks old. Banana is a little monster. She bullies her friends. No matter where I put her in relation to the light, she makes sure to lean in extra hard and try to hog all the light for herself. She puts her leaves right over her friends and tries to block them out lol.. I included a couple pictures with them so you can see for yourself. Been giving her spring water that has a ph of about 7 which might be a tad high, but she doesn’t seem upset by it so far. Just giving that now because she’s small and doesn’t drink much. Obviously way too expensive of a way to water down the line. Her past watering yesterday, I added a little splash of kelp to. She’ll probably need transplanted pretty soon as she’s looking a bit big in her little pot, and see a tiny bit of root showing. Nothing else exciting going on atm. Just growing and watching. Update 04/29/25: transplanted into 2 gallon pot and added mykos to the hole. Watered in with silica, calmag, big bloom, and kelp. Soil had down to earth 4-4-4 mixed in. Added root/ after transplant pictures.

Krisis 05/02/25. Start of week 3. Not much going on this week. Just adding water since nutrients are mixed in the soil. She’s got a bit of yellowing tips on her lower leaves. I’m not worried about it really. When I grew banana before she was extra hungry and always had some kinda leaf issues. Hoping the nutrients will get broken down fast enough to please her before she gets ravenous. She’s doing quite well otherwise.

Krisis 05/13/25. Week 4. The soil was a bit low so I added some fresh and mixed in 4-4-4 with it. Been giving calmag every other watering. They’re all needing water today. Think I let the soil get a bit drier than I should. Seems currently every 2 days is about right. Banana is surprisingly well behaved this time around… well so far. She must be liking the amount of nutrients in the soil. She’s growing the most uniform out of the group. I don’t even think she will need to much training. I did top her a few days ago.

Krisis 05/21/25. Week 5. Topped again. Zero training done. Pretty pleased with how she’s growing so far. Could happen sometime, but not for now. She really needs potted up. Actually.. probably do that tomorrow, then water. Will go ahead and put some mykos in the hole too. Sorry for extra shit pictures this update. Was very rushed.

Krisis 06/05/25. Start of flower. So.. GD has been pretty much non usable for me. This is why my past week update isn’t there. It decided to not let me add any new weeks to any of my diaries. It would just blend everything into the old week. Ugh. Fingers crossed.. I think it’s okay now? Not too much to update on in the time anyhow really..so that’s good. Got her transplanted, did a tiny bit of training. Had about 6 branches that were either quite a bit taller than the rest, or blocked another. I just bent them a bit and put lst clips on them. Went ahead and flipped her to flower today. She’s drinking about every 2 days. Giving her just plain water, and once a week giving her the kelp, calmag, silica, big bloom, and molasses mixture. Very happy with how banana has been doing so far with these nutrients. She’s not any any issues yet.

Krisis 06/12/25. Week 2 flower. Not much happening this week. Top dressed with GG bloom. Giving water every 2 days. Once a week giving a mixture of things listed up top- minus the dry amendments. There’s a few wild spots on her that I’d like to bend down some to be more even, but no way I can see to do it now. Not enough room for lst clips between the nodes. I’m scared to snap and break them otherwise. Got a serious freakin gnat issue. Never had this issue really with synthetics. Guess it was because I let shit dry back pretty good. Can’t really do that with organic like this apparently. Sticky things don’t even seem to be helpin much. Gotta figure out something because it’s annoying af.

Krisis 06/20/25. Week 3 flower. Not much to mention this update. Just watering every 2 days and giving mixture up top (minus GG and DTE) once a week. Banana is still behaving so far this time. Her buds are developing, but do look a bit sparse on pistils.
