Banana Runtz 🍌🍬 F1 Hybrid by Barney's

CheeRz VEG WEEK 1: Banana Runtz F1 Hybrid 🍌🍬 | Barney's Farm ​🌱 VEGETATIVE PROGRESS ​Welcome to Veg Week 1 of our run! A massive shoutout and big thank you to Barney's Farm for sponsoring these genetics. All 3 Banana Runtz ladies have settled in perfectly and are already flexing that true F1 hybrid vigor. Standing strong and compact in their starter pots, they have cleanly unfolded their first sets of serrated fan leaves with outstanding symmetry, sturdy stems, and a lush, healthy green hue. ​💧 NUTRIENT FEEDING & WATERING ​The ladies are on dedicated root-zone and metabolic support to encourage rapid root expansion before the upcoming transplant step into their 8L pots with BioBizz All-Mix. ​Current Feeding Schedule (per Liter): ​Root-Juice: 4.0 ml/l ​Bio-Heaven: 2.0 ml/l ​Acti-Vera: 2.0 ml/l ​Calmag: 0.3 ml/l ​Parameters: ​pH: 6.4 ​Relative Humidity (RH): 68% ​Temperature: 24°C ​VPD: 0.85 kPa ​💭 GROWER'S NOTE ​👀 Status Report: Week 1 is officially in the books and all 3/3 seedlings are performing like absolute champions. Vitality across the trio is 10/10, showing great leaf turgor, short internodal spacing, and zero stretching under the light. Gentle air circulation is already strengthening their main stems nicely. Next milestone will be the final 8L pots. Off to a flying start!

CheeRz VEG WEEK 2: Banana Runtz F1 Hybrid | Barney's Farm ​🌱 VEGETATIVE PROGRESS ​Welcome to Veg Week 2! We made an executive grow-room decision and streamlined the lineup: instead of running all three, I handed one healthy plant off to a buddy to give the remaining pair maximum space to thrive. The chosen two Banana Runtz ladies are pushing ahead with fantastic vigor in their final 8L fabric pots. Main stems are thickening nicely, internodes remain compact, and we executed the first clean topping cut right above the node to break apical dominance and trigger heavy side-branch expansion. ​💧 NUTRIENT FEEDING & WATERING ​Now comfortably settled in their BioBizz All-Mix substrate, root development and metabolic uptake remain the main focus while the plants tap into the rich medium. ​Current Feeding Schedule (per Liter): ​Root-Juice: 4.0 ml/l ​Bio-Heaven: 2.0 ml/l ​Acti-Vera: 2.0 ml/l ​Calmag: 0.4 ml/l ​Parameters: ​pH: 6.4 ​Relative Humidity (RH): 69.4% ​Temperature: 21.4°C ​VPD: 0.77 kPa ​CO₂: ~980 ppm ​💭 GROWER'S NOTE ​👀 Status Report: Quality over quantity! Focusing on just the two strongest ladies gives us full control over canopy management and air circulation in the tent. Both took the topping like absolute champions—the new auxiliary shoots are already waking up and reaching out without any noticeable stall. Climate metrics are locked in with RH around 69% and VPD sitting at an easy 0.77 kPa, giving them ideal conditions to bounce back and send roots deep into the 8L bags. Next objective: let those lateral shoots elongate and begin shaping our canopy!

CheeRz VEG WEEK 3: Banana Runtz F1 Hybrid | Barney's Farm ​🌱 VEGETATIVE PROGRESS ​Welcome to Veg Week 3! Training mode is officially fully activated. The two Banana Runtz ladies have adapted cleanly to the earlier topping and are already building out a wide, symmetrical base. This week, we introduced soft plant training stakes/ties to pin the primary secondary shoots down horizontally. Opening up the center allows direct light exposure down into the internal node sites, turning what would have been a single vertical cola into a flat, well-distributed canopy. ​💧 NUTRIENT FEEDING & WATERING ​Root development inside the 8L fabric pots is progressing smoothly. The feed remains dialed in for microbial stimulation and early structural health without overloading the fresh All-Mix. ​Current Feeding Schedule (per Liter): ​Fish-Mix: 1.0 ml/l ​Root-Juice: 4.0 ml/l ​Bio-Heaven: 2.0 ml/l ​Acti-Vera: 2.0 ml/l ​Calmag: 0.5 ml/l ​Parameters: ​pH: 6.4 ​Relative Humidity (RH): 70.1% ​Temperature: 21.6°C ​VPD: 0.77 kPa ​CO₂: ~988 ppm ​💭 GROWER'S NOTE ​👀 Status Report: Week 3 is all about architecture. Bending and pinning these branches early ensures that knuckles form right at the base, directing auxin evenly across all growth tips. The plants took the training with zero hesitation—tips were already angling back upward toward the light just hours after being tied down. The environmental parameters couldn't be better: RH sits steady around 70% with a consistent 0.77 kPa VPD, creating an ideal vegetative sweet spot for fast recovery. Next up: keeping the canopy flat as the inner nodes stretch out into the next set of main colas!
