GerHardGrows Plant Name: Michaela Banana
I planted a Fat Banana Auto by RQS in the same soil and setup as a Purple Punch Auto by Barneys Farm, and it sprouted without any issues. The Purple Punch had germinated after 48 hours in water but refused to grow in that soil.
I’ve grown Fat Banana before, but back then it was in a tent with photoperiod plants, so the three Bananas only received 12 hours of light during flowering. That wasn’t a huge problem, though one of them actually hermed. I’ve always wondered how this strain would perform under optimal conditions, because the terpenes are some of the best I’ve ever smelled. Two of the previous plants smelled like ripe bananas, honey, and tropical fruits, while the third had an even stronger scent reminiscent of Red Bull. That one was exceptionally tasty.
