Balcony fat banana has been flowering for two week now. I wish the weather was sunnier but I take it as an experiment to see if photoperiod dependent strain can be grown in an interior balcony.
She was growing on the outer part for few weeks but become to big and easy target to be spotted, so for security reason she's now an indoor plant getting all the energy for growth thru a natural light.
I really like the shape of her, I only topped her once but it was a really nice job. She's got few nice branches that are already covered in small buds.
Hopefully there is still enough time for the buds to get properly developed as the days are getting shorter.
The smell is really mild but the first weed scent are already appearing.
The weather prognosis is good for next week so I have my fingers crossed it stays like that.
Thanks everybody for stopping by and happy growing 😻
Hi, your Pets are always near the PLants too=?... My big boi waits in frot of the tent to get some yummy leaves. Happy growing. But pls let them grow theyve just bgun to flower.... buds will be 4 times bigger
@Mrs_Larimar, actually I’ve been growing just for a year so I’m still learning and never grown on the balcony and just deiced to give it a try 😂 And... haven’t been updating this growth☹️🤥 I will take her out soon, it’s not that bad still, considering she would need much more light hours per day😊 yeah, halloween’s over so I’ll be focusing more on the grow tent 🏕️ .. Thank you for stopping by 🙏
@ReinDeer,ah ok got you.... well she should be ready after 10 weeks^^ and before mold gets her.. take her down. I thought she was in week 6 or so....... and well telling from 4 times bigger was alittle euphoric^^... if shes 10 week in flower everything is fine , you are an experienced grower... and know your weed. I wa to fst and overseen its abalcony grow...
For me latsest day for outdoor is always the 31. october.. and thats for " spiritual reasons" lool. Aftr helloween evrything outdoors belongs to the ghosts....
@Mrs_Larimar, Hi 😊 They just love weed leaves, especially the cats.. Actually, bananna has probably been flowering for some 10 weeks but I’m not sure what to do now ☹️ Days in northern Europe are getting shorter and I’m not sure she’ll have a chance to produce proper buds.. What do you think?
Just a few perception:
1. Add a Calcium or CalMag to poor plant (light spots on the leaf).
2. Watering more water(with 20-30% drain).
3. Cover the top of the coco with something, it dries too quickly.
4. Feed this plant with COCO nutrients(Canna COCO AB), Rhizotonic just a supplement.
Good luck!
@ReinDeer, you're welcome. But I would improve the first point, your plant have thrips. Unfortunately they like a dry, warm weather,but "curable".
Good luck!
@GonZo888, thank you very much for the help👌I’m using Canna COCO A&B, rhyzotonic and cannazym at this stage but not adding additional Ca and Mg. I haven’t been adding CalMag before but I really should to prevent the issue asap💪
@Budofpray, I was very lucky to get a camera for free with two additional lenses, flash + other gear. I would suggest to try looking for DSLR for second hand. @Wachsemilian suggested me on buying Sony (alpha 6000-6500 APS-C (not full frame but with the right Lens almost no difference) or better Alpha 7 series). But it all depends from your budget 😕 Hope I helped you a little!
