Now I watch the clock and pace like an expecting father. Shes close (like 5% amber close) but still needs a little longer from our personal preference. Flushing with plain water as we notice shes light but she is happy and so am i. 1/29/20 She is ready for the dark with 15% amber. Is it a coincidence that she finally smells of banana? Just as shes ripe, she smells of a fresh ripe banana and that is what I was hoping for. I was beginning to think it wouldn't be strong or at all but it's a nice banana smell with a floral end note. Love it!!

I'm so glad that this girl is so agreeable and low maintenance. From day 1 she never asked for anything more than I gave. Instead she would curl up at the fox farm veg stage nutes because she didn't enjoy the higher levels She prefers organic but thrives on minimal attention. We ended up cutting her top because she was so out of control with her growth and shes still the tallest I've grown to date (with her clones about to pass her up) Thrichome production is amazing. Shes covered like my gorilla glue and smells better. I am expecting a extremely high potency just by looking at the thrichome covered fan leaves. At the moment her scent is not at all banana like. It's got a very distinctive citrus scent on top of pine followed by fruit flowers. Her calyx are swelling and her darker color is beginning to become a more bright green as the parts of her that haven't seen light are now exposed. Her darkness diminished as she was exfoliated for one last time removing anything that was without thrichomes (and a few that did as well) . My canna worms are gonna be happy this month Shes actually quite hard for being on the airy side. She's not as open or airy as the breeders description suggested but she is overly dense either. Due to her heavy indica lineage she's got a very high bud to leaf ratio making her perfect for humid tropical climates or conditions. An airy disposition actually works well for our region. Her sister gold leaf ended up with a touch of bud rot because she was too tight and dense even for our indoor grow room. When it comes to cloning shes perfect for beginners. She practically clones herself lol. A broken end of a branch was placed into a cup of our coir medium and within a week under the lamps she had obviously taken root. So needless to say, its obvious by my 4 more flowering banana kush plants following her, that I love this strain. That says a lot since I've never ever tried her before and I chose her by reading descriptions and reviews. There's so much more I can and will add once the harvest is completed but I wanted to take a moment and give a good review and description. The genetics deserve the compliment. Reading the breeders description I was warned that it wasn't easy and that experienced growers should have no problem but I decided to try anyway and well apparently I got a good phenotype because she has been the least needy plant I've grown to date and so have been her clones. Her yield isn't gonna be as big as the gold leaf but itll still be great compared with the baby autos I've grown in the past. I'll write a full review from start to finish on the ILGM website as well as on my final entry after harvest/dry/cure but until then I felt as though this plant/strain is very under estimated and should be more popular. Especially with a 27% thc. Anyway, I'd recommend the Banana Kush feminized seeds. I got mine from ILGM seedbank because they have a 100% germination policy that replaces every seed of theirs that doesn't pop (I've already had 3 replaced with 5 more of each type) without any hassle. But that's my opinion and choice as everyone has their own preferences. They dont pay me for or even know that I'm writing this. 1/18/20

Some beautiful frost on that one!

@Wicked_Stix,thanks, yes she's actually already showing thrichomes on bigger fan leaves. Her THC is supposed to be around 27% and CBD less than 1% and with an 8 week flower period I had to try this strain. I'd never heard of it b4 ordering but so far I'm glad I did Also clones like a champ. My first time trying I got 6 clones to take in a solo cup with damp dirt under lights Now I'm about to do s SOG with those. Wish we were neighbors, I'd give you a clone because we have more than our space will soon allow. Gotta love them photo!! Happy growing!!

@MomnPoppaSeed, yeah she has some great trichomes for being early in flower. I have been wanting to try a banana strain and this might be the one. Can't wait to see what she does at harvest time. Best of luck finishing her up!

@Wicked_Stix,thanks. She's young still so I'm anxious to find out just how good this strain really is. Never even heard of the name b4 getting the seeds but i feel like she will forever be a part of our grow cycles now because of her ability to clone so easily... Thanks for checking in hope to see you back again soon.

@Wicked_Stix, thanks gromie! I'm about to harvest now but I can say that the small branch I sampled from 1 week ago was already a heavy high so with the 20% amber she's showing now, shes gonna be good. And with all of the leaves left on her covered in thrichomes, she'll also make good meds.

Mouthwatering looking, gonna have some sick smoke from this :) Respect growmie

MomnPoppaSeed
@I_and_I, thank you and I'm hoping that she does not lose the fresh banana scent during cure. As for potency, she's supposed to average at 25-27% THC with less than 1% CBD so I can imagine her as an evening smoke, but who knows what curing will do.

@CrankledLarkus, thanks I'm very happy with this strain and the genetics I got with her. That's all anyone can hope for when growing their own, to get what we paid for and end up with what we wanted. I love her thrichomes :)
