Schnabeldino Bananakin Skywalker (DNA Genetics ร Zamnesia)
Time for a fresh adventure in the tent: I picked Bananakin Skywalker, a collab between DNA Genetics and Zamnesia. On paper itโs a 70% indica / 30% sativa hybrid with a flowering window of 8โ9 weeks and potency up to 25% THCโa profile that promises relaxing body vibes without turning off the lights. The name alone hints at creamy banana notes layered over classic Kush character, and thatโs exactly what Iโm chasing with this run.
I started the journey the way I always do: a simple germination routine, then into a prepared medium with a touch of beneficial biology to support root-zone life from day one. The seedling popped cleanly; those plump cotyledons and the tiny serrated tips looked picture-perfect (you can see them in the close-up). Early on I kept things gentleโsoft airflow, stable temperatures, and a mild LED glow so the baby could focus on building roots and confidence.
From here Iโll let the plant set the pace. Once itโs out of the crib stage, Iโll encourage a tidy, balanced structure and keep an eye on how the terp profile evolves. Iโm expecting that dessert-leaning banana cream impression with a spicy-earthy Kush backbone, and Iโm curious to see how loudly it sings after a proper cure.
Iโll report back on structure, aroma, and overall character as the cycle unfoldsโ For now, the little Skywalker is up and reaching, and the force is definitely with this one. ๐ฑโจ

๐ธBananakin has come through the first week well. ๐ฑIt looks healthy, is a rich green color, and has developed its first pair of serrated fan leaves in addition to the cotyledons. The stem is currently rather slender and slightly stretched, but it is stable.
๐ธThe one-time initial watering with Bactrex and Orgatrex was completely sufficient; after that, the substrate was allowed to dry out in between. At first, it was a tad too wet, but now it's fine again.
๐ธA very solid start. Fresh color, healthy growth, and an overall vigorous impression. For week 2, I will continue to water carefully and move the light a little closer so that it continues to grow compactly.

Day 14 โ Bananakin Skywalker ๐๐ก๏ธ
๐ธ Soil prep: I mixed in Bactrex to kick-start the beneficial microbes. In the planting hole I sprinkled a small pinch of Mycotrex so the roots meet mycorrhiza right away. The transplant went smoothly and the root ball stayed intact. In addition, two Bio tabs were inserted into the soil about 10 cm deep to the right and left of the root ball. 100 g of Startrex. 5 g of Mycotrex
๐ธ Shoots/Leaves: Deep, healthy green with short internodesโcompact and happy. Banani grew a little crooked, so I had to fix it a little.
๐ธ Summary: A smooth, microbe-boosted transplant. Bananakin Skywalker took the move like a champ and looks ready to charge into a strong growth week. ๐ฑโจ

Day 28 โ Bananakin Skywalker ๐๐ก๏ธ
๐ธ This week, the lady has made real progress. Visually, she looks great againโrich, deep green foliage and a beautifully compact, even bush. You can tell that she has coped well with being repotted and the minor stresses involved. Everything seems to have settled down in the pot too: the soil life is now visibly working harmoniously, the plant is stable and drinking reliably.
๐ธLast week, I added Bactrex together with Orgatrex to the watering canโin exactly the right dosage, because she reacted calmly and showed no signs of stress. No abnormalities on the leaves, new shoots are compact and vigorous.
๐ธI have now set the light to 12/12. The transition seems smooth: internodes remain short, the canopy is nice and even โ ideal conditions for a clean start to flowering. I am already looking forward to the first small buds. Is now under a better flowering lamp.
๐ธIn short: Bananakin Skywalker is back on track and looks really โcinematic.โ A robust, confident appearance โ just the way I like it.

Day 35 โ Bananakin Skywalker ๐โจ
๐ธ Bananakin is off to a great start in its first 12/12 week. The bush has opened up nicely, the side shoots have caught up and are closing the crown almost completely. From above: a dense green carpet, even without any outliers. The foliage is rich green, the leaves firm and neatly aligned.
๐ธ Stretching has begun but remains well controlled. Internodes are short to medium, the tops are largely maintaining their height โ exactly as desired. The first fine pre-flowers are appearing at the nodes, the 12/12 switch is taking effect.
๐ธ Foliage continues to be โtuckedโ so that light can reach the center and air can circulate well. I'm saving more extensive defoliation until the end of the stretch phase.
๐ธ Watering rhythm is right: she drinks constantly, with no signs of stress.

๐ธ First flowers! Fresh, white threads are appearing on almost all shoot tips โ the bud shape is clearly visible. The internodes remain compact, resulting in many tops of equal height on the surface. Stretching is still ongoing, but controlled. The crown is nicely rounded; the highest tip is roughly in the middle 38 cm range. The structure appears stable, side shoots have caught up well.
๐ธ Foliage & vitality: Rich, dark green, leaves โprayโ slightly upwards. Only a few older fans show minimal signs of wear โ completely uncritical.
๐ธ Light adjustment: Increase PPFD to 800 ยตmol/mยฒ/s. Is now under a Spider Farmer 100 Watt, as it has a better red spectrum.
๐ธ Continue gentle leaf tucking to allow light into the center. Light lollipopping at the bottom and 2โ3 large fans removed to improve airflow and bud sites.
Watering rhythm constant, only water โ the soil life is working.

๐ธ Bananakin Skywalker is thriving this week โ strong, healthy, and full of life. The buds are coming in beautifully, with fresh white pistils popping up all over the canopy. Her leaves are deep green and slightly glossy, showing sheโs perfectly dialed in and happy with her environment. Overall, sheโs in great shape โ balanced, vigorous, and clearly entering that exciting stage where the buds start filling out fast. When the big tent is free, she will move, and then the humidity will definitely decrease.
๐ธI did a light lollipopping session this week โ all the small lower budsites were removed since they wouldnโt get much light anyway. Now she can focus all her energy on building up those top colas where it really counts.
๐ธSheโs drinking heavily, definitely showing her appetite as the flowering picks up speed. In the next few days, Iโll start giving her BIO PK from BioTabs to boost bud development and help her stack those flowers even more.

Bananakin Skywalker๐โจ | The buds awaken โ the Force is strong in this one.
๐ธThis week, Bananakin Skywalker is really stepping into her Jedi bloom form. Sheโs got that perfect structure...sturdy, balanced, and spreading her branches like sheโs reaching for the Force itself. Buds are stacking up beautifully, tight and frosty, with little lightsaber-like trichomes shimmering all over. The flowers are filling out nicely...healthy white pistils shooting in every direction, ready for their next growth spurt. Sheโs rocking a deep green tone with just the right glow, no signs of stress, no drama, just pure calm Force energy.
๐ธThis weekโs feeding was simple...just 1-L BIO PK alongside the BioTabs base. She clearly approves no burn, no fuss, just good vibes and healthy growth. The aromaโs starting to kick in too: sweet, fruity, with a cheeky spicy twist that hints at the power sheโs building.
๐ธBananakin Skywalker is thriving strong, frosty, and focused. The buds are stacking, the trichomes are shining, and the galaxy smells amazing.
The Force (and BioPK) is definitely with her. ๐ซ

Viel Spaร! Bin gespannt auf den Grow. Zwischen den Skywalker Kreuzungen konnt ich mich nicht entscheiden, auf welche ich Bock hab... n Kumpel hat das dann รผbernommen๐
Iโm excited to see how this one turns out. I almost emailed Zamnesia to ask for a pack of these seeds just to have the lightsaber. I figured they would say no about this particular pack sense it was limited edition
