TerpToad Welcome to the Dutch Passion Growing Competition 2025!
I choose Banana Blaze Auto for competing in this contest. The seeds were given to me by Dutch Passion for free. Thanks!
These are my first indoor-grown autoflowers. I am looking forward to fast growth and big headbuds, lets see how the Banana Blaze likes the AutoPots!
You will see that the seeds werent put directly in the center of the pots. I am planning on applying LST during the grow and gave myself some space to work with before hand. Stay tuned :)
Update day 4: a small miracle happened - all seeds popped up on the same day! And by all I truly mean all, not only the three Banana Blaze Auto, but my two additional plants aswell! With all my autos perfectly synchronized, I can now start on a good note into these grows. Soon all plants exept the Banana Blaze sisters will move outdoors.

TerpToad Three days after a very succesfull germination phase all three banana girls enter veg week 1.
Nothing yet to report, but it seems like I have a decent chance on a very even grow with these three plants. I already added some stakes in preparation for the upcoming training starting in week 2. There isnt any kind of training down in the first week.

TerpToad week 2 starts with three healthy seedlings transitioning into real plants. Banana Blaze #2 shows great growth, but #1 and #3 look happy as well.
At the beginning of the week, each pot was fertilized with 30 grams of Green House Feeding BioGrow. At a pot size of 20 liters this dosis is half of what is recommended, which I suggest will work just fine with the short veg cycle of these autoflowers. After spreading the fertilizer it was watered in with one gram of BioEnhancer dissolved into 1 liter of water per plant.
Temperature and humidity are perfect for this part of veg. In the next couple of weeks I will try to slowly lower the humidity.
Update: half way through week 2 plant #2 had her first training done. I only removed one fan leaf pointing upwards and one sideshoot pointing downwards.

TerpToad Start of week 3 veg and the training is already paying off! While #1 and #3 are still adjusting to their new dircetions of growth, #2 is taking of very fast and gives me a bunch of sideshoots that will be trained to (hopefully) big colas.
At the start of this week the stakes were adjusted and new ones added when necessary. I am not allowing any growth upwards yet. So far I only removed leaves pointing upwards, so no real defoliation to this point.
During week 3 I will turn on the valves on the AutoPots periodically, I hope to get the girls to drink on their own at week 4 so I dont have to water manually anymore
