Danylo This (again) will be a quick diary.. I actually didn't intend to make a diary of these at all - so there won't be very many very good pictures. Then again I rely on this page to select strains quite a lot, so I'd feel bad not to add to the available Information. _________ These seeds were a christmas gift from my uncle! 😁 IMO strains completely not on your radar can sometimes be a fantastic breath of fresh air. And these certainly were! Both "Barney's Farm" seeds germinated without problem. This one and a Watermelon Skittlez.

Danylo Nothing really out of the ordinary happened this week, seed grew well into her 0.5L pot. No weird leaf mutations nothing - just as I like it ;)

Danylo She was big enough to be transplanted into her final 7.8L AirPot this week. Strong horizontal growth, very little vertical growth - might be because of high PPFD.

Danylo She is growing well into her new shoes! Still not much of a vertical stretch, but as this is part of my first 12/12 experiment, I don't really know if this is to be expected.

Danylo Stretch coming in with a vengeance! I guess this is the point where she is mature enough to actually start flowering... Some defoliation done this week so lower branches get more light.. Always hurts to pluck and throw away beautifully grown healthy leafs but you know.. you gotta. 😢

Danylo Not very many pictures the next 2-3 weeks sorry. Didn't really plan on making a diary at all.. so we'll use what we have. 😁 Around this time I first realized that this pheno had some strange stem to leaf angle variation. Instead of it being an almost straight 0° angle between stem and leaf like usual - this plant angles some leafs almost 90° downwards at the stem-leaf junction. We'll certainly won't see her praying.. maybe she's an atheist.

Danylo Pictures from end of week 6! A lot has happened since the last pics from the start of week5 : she is in full flower now. Stretch is manageable. Still the same leaf-down-angle appearance.

Danylo Because of general lazyness I didn't take any pictures of Week7F - Sorry! A lot has happened in that time though - Buds fattened up and leafs started getting populated by trichomes too. While I was (like always at this stage..) doing the touchy-rubby-smelly-test, I felt like getting hit by lightning : THIS PLANT ACTUALLY SMELLED LIKE BANANA CANDY ?!?! I was in complete disbelief! When I planted the seed I didnt really expect much - maybe some sweet heavy aromas that vaguely remind you of bananas.. I would have _never_ expected anything close to what it actually smelled like : Those yellow marshmallowy bananas from my childhood!

Danylo I apologize if the leafs are less trichome-y than usual, but I could not help myself and rub&smell this absolute specimen at least twice a day. You know - just to make sure it actually did smell like that. Every day. For science. Future-Dan : The dried flower still smells _very_ similar with an added heavy funk that permeates plastic bags. When vaping the cured flower now several months later you still get that amazing bananaroma! 😍

Danylo Despite the small area she had available to her, she was getting real chunky. To a degree that was surprising to me - maybe it's the Samsung LM301H EVO leds in this small-ish 150W light? Maybe its the taller than wide Airpots doing their magic? Who knows - I'll take it !😽

Danylo Everything going well the least few weeks of flower. Trichomes mostly milky, some parts of the leafs getting reddish/purple - should not take more than another week?

Happy Harvest Day!

Banana Punch Barney's Farm

10/10

Rated

This plant actually changed my perspective a little. Before, when reading about a certain aroma/smell in the strain description - I usually didn't take the breeder info seriously. After this one though.. maybe this beautiful plant species actually has the diversity and flexibility to smell like many different, delicious things! Growing Banana Punch was very easy - not fussy about nutrients or light or ambient variables. Harvest amount was the largest among all the plants in this 1.5 feet tent experiment. The high is strong but very uplifting/giddy! (For me at least) Taste when vaped is still very banana forward, but with an added skunk-like funk that made this one a challenge to dry without making outsiders curious/nosey. I hope you had at least some of the fun reading this diary, as I had growing this beautiful plant. Thanks for your time and interest everybody !! Dan

Danylo This was the final week. Very satisfied with this harvest. Many leafs had turned reddish/purple but trichomes were exactly at the right point for harvesting so no more waiting! Will update this one with actual dried flower pictures as well as a smoke/vape report in the coming days.
