Growfather1 Hello everyone, and thank you for stopping by! Growfather is back with the official germination update for the Frozen Bananas F1 hybrid by Barney's Farm.
This is officially Part 2 of the journey. I already have two older plants of this exact strain crushing it in their vegetative stage, sitting exactly 7 weeks ahead of this little one. Running a staggered timeline like this is going to be an incredible learning experience—watching the older girls transition into flower over the coming weeks will give me the perfect blueprint on how to properly train this new little beauty when the time comes.
This seedling definitely gave me a massive scare right out of the gate! I germinated the seed last week, and it sprouted beautifully. However, I left a plastic humidity cup over it, which caused the moisture to skyrocket. The tiny seedling got completely covered in water droplets, and under the intense grow lights, she basically turned into a micro-greenhouse potato. I honestly thought she was a goner and wouldn't make it—talk about an identity crisis, I wanted Frozen Bananas and accidentally gave her a tropical steam bath! But nature is resilient, and 7 days later, she has officially recovered!
Current Environment & Light Schedule
Light Cycle 24/7 Continuous Lighting
Light Intensity 75% Power
Temperature 21°C – 24°C
Humidity Above 62%
There isn't too much else to report for now since she is just finding her footing after her initial sun-baked spa day. Because she sprouted a week ago, I will be back in just 3 days with the official Week 1 update.
Thanks again for checking out the diary, and stay tuned to see how she grows!

Growfather1 Hello everyone.
The Frozen Bananas F1 hybrid is in week 1 of vegetative stage. It seems she survived, and she's really getting back on track.
Humidity for the week has been consistently above 62%, and temperatures have stayed between 21 and 25 degrees Celsius. I've set the exhaust ventilation at 30% to maintain a steady environment with the room temperature at 19.7 degrees.
I've also switched my nutrients from Canna to Plagron, raising the feeding to 2 milliliters of Coco A and B. Everything else is looking good.
Thank you for stopping by and have a nice weekend!
Best regards,
Growfather.

Growfather1 Hello everyone.
The Frozen Bananas F1 hybrid by Barney's Farm is doing okay. She started showing signs of mutated leaves like the other two plants, but for now, yeah, it's all okay. Let's see how she looks next week.
I increased the feeding from 2 ml per liter of water up to 3.5 ml per liter of reverse osmosis water. Humidity sits above 63% while the temperature sits at a maximum of 25°C. Everything else is looking fine.
Hopefully, these mutated leaves mean she's just growing extra hands to hold more buds later on—or she's trying to turn into a literal banana tree!
Thank you for stopping by and have yourself a great weekend.
