PavementPunk 8/18/26🍌 Banana Frost ❄️ Vegetative Update (Week 5 / Day 13 Veg) 📊 Vital Stats & Measurements * Growth Stage: Vegetative (Day 13 / 4 Weeks 4 Days total) * Plant Height: 23.0 inches (Explosive vertical stretch from 10.0" on Day 7!) * Environment / Ambient Temp: Outdoor Net House / Greenhouse (~99°F peak heat) * Substrate & Top Layer: Living soil blend in fabric pot with heavy straw mulch layer 💧 Watering & Feeding Log * Aug 13: * Folio/top pump spray with plain water (pH 6.4). * Aug 14 (AM): * Outdoor feed with Myco+ @ 75% strength (pH 6.4). * Aug 15 (8:00 AM): * Bottom watered and top watered using 1-gal pump sprayer. * Water cooled down to 62°F – 65.5°F in an effort to cool the root zone and combat intense heat stress. * Aug 17 (9:12 AM - Day 11 Veg): * 0.5 Gal plain water (pH 6.4). * Aug 18 (Today / 9:58 AM - Day 13 Veg): * 0.7 Gal feed: * pH 6.0 Myco+ @ 75% * Fish & Kelp blend * Strive Veg/Bloom nutrients @ 100% strength (pH 6.4) * Extra added mycorrhizae 📝 Grower’s Notes & Plant Observations Structure & Growth: Banana Frost has shot up to 23 inches tall, showing vigorous node spacing and strong main-stem vertical drive. The lower canopy has good lateral shoot development starting to reach outward. Weather & Stress Management: August outdoor heat has been brutal with temps pushing around 99°F. The top new growth is showing slight heat canoeing/tacoing along the leaf serrations—a direct response to the intense direct sun and VPD spikes. To help her push through the heatwaves, I've kept the roots protected under a thick layer of straw mulch and implemented chilled water applications (~62°F) alongside bottom-watering. She took today's full-strength Strive + Fish & Kelp + Myco+ feeding like a champ. Despite the August sun testing her limits, she continues to reach for the sky! The only training I've done with this plant or defoliation or anything is removing the bottom most nodes and leaves and that's it! She is completely natural just doing her thing outside in nature it's beautiful 😆 I had to take half of this week's notes by hand when my cell phone was out for a few days. Thankfully I have a new one now thank my wife love you. This girl has really put on a show with the stretch can't wait to see what this next week holds. Happy growing friends✌️
