bananomet Banana Purple Punch auto was my first pick for this season. Just wanted to find out what the hype is all about as well. Got some valuable lessons my last grow and will try my hardest to avoid mistakes. Hopefully, the weather will favor me this time around. The pack offered only small seeds, so I had no choice but to go ahead. The seed has been the slowest of the bunch. Root only started showing 4 days after putting it on the water surface. Planted into 3L RootPlus filled with BioBizz LightMix 02. 09. So far it has not emerged above surface. I'll wait 2 more days and hope it will break trough, otherwise I'll have to scrap and start again. --- Edit 04. 09. Yaaay it finally happened.

bananomet So far so good. Only giving un-pH'd water with root juice for now. 16. 09. - time to start feeding the microbes. Added a bit of fishmix into the watering and uploaded a new picture. I also got a GGS control kit, 5v1 sensor (inc. PAR and CO2 meter) and a humidifier from Spider Farmer. Now I'll be able to keep track of CO2 levels, set lights more precisely and also automatically target VPD. --- Update 18. 09. I've repotted yesterday inside 21l RootPlus filled with Plagron RoyalMix. Noticed the roots crawling from all the bottom holes of the former 3l pot, so I had to act. Unfortunately the bottom grate of the 3l pot has been knoted up with the roots and when I tried to dislodge it away from the substrate, half the root mass broke off with the soil. 😭 Proceeded with repotting anyway and I PRAY she'll take it like a boss. Checked in the morning and yes, the stress is visible, BUT not dead. Please pray with me. New photo uploaded.

bananomet Looks stunted. Probably is. Lazy seed and me breaking off portion of the root system didn't help it either. --- Update 23. 09. I had to raise the lights because of the other plants in the tent were getting too big. I am thinking relocating BPP to the smaller tent under its own light. Gave some water today with root juice. I mean she's growing, but not at the supposed rate in current stage of veg. New photo uploaded. --- Update 25. 09. I have relocated BPP into the smaller 60x60x160cm tent under P600 light running at 100% power. Gives more breathing room in the big tent AND actually more light reaching the leaves.

bananomet No more root juice since its not needed anymore. We are now in early flower clearly. BPP seems very happy since I moved her into her own tent, able to catch more light. I only cut lowest 4 fan leaves to make it easier for me to water. --- Update 30. 09. Usual wednesday update. We have almost doubled the height in just 3 days. Some spots appeared on the lower leaves, but I am at ease. New photo uploaded. --- Update 04. 10. Suddenly exploded in height.

bananomet This thing really took off at the end of the last week. Had to widen the branches abit with the gardening wire. May put her back into the big tent if she keeps on growing. This plant really showed me that it´s never over until it´s over.

n late bloomer? For me, the banana is purple after flowering week 1, not even half the size of the guava or z-up

@Raffael, I broke half the root ball 3 weeks ago during re-pot job. Roots probably healed and now found their way into the nutrient rich Royalmix. That´s my only explanation.

@bananomet oh that's annoying :D but at least she has recovered well 👍 Mine doesn't want to stretch much, she's about 45cm while the guava that's not even a week older has just hit 120 🙈
