Banana Spliff

Time for a new photoperiodic run! I've selected FatBanana from RoyalQueenSeeds. Two seeds were soaked in water then moved into 0.5L AirPots. I may proceed to seedling selection (keep the strongest) or keep both of them, depending on how they evolve. The tricky thing is that they begin their life in a bad environment: my tent is still hosting autoflowers so the relative humidity is not high, plus I have some night temp issues that I'm fighting with. Let's see if they manage to grow within those conditions. Thanks for stopping-by!

I proceeded to seedling selection by the end of week 2. I kept the strongest/fastest seedling and did a transplantation into RQS 11L/3gal fabric pot, they feel awesome. Since I'm running out of liquid fertilizers, I've decided it was a good time to give BioTabs a try, and maybe go through a nice-and-easy run. Preparing the soil with BioTabs is a little bit of work, but this should saves me hours of work later, so I guess it worth it. The soil is made of 50% cocomix and 50% lightmix, both from BioBizz. --- NUTRIENTS - BioTabs - pH 6.4 & EC 0.65 BOARDS INTENSITY - 100% (~106W per board, ~320W in total) TEMPERATURES - Min 15.1°C - Avg 23.6°C - Max 27.4°C HUMIDITY - Min 42.7% - Avg 57.3% - Max 68.6%

She looks happy in her new fabric pot, I proceeded to the 1st topping surgery on day 21. Mainlining incoming! Thanks for stopping-by 👋 --- NUTRIENTS - None (BioTabs in soil) - pH 6.4 & EC 0.65 BOARDS INTENSITY - 100% (~106W per board, ~320W in total) TEMPERATURES - Min 17.4°C - Avg 23.9°C - Max 27.4°C HUMIDITY - Min 39.8% - Avg 56.7% - Max 68.6%

Growing bushy! She was topped for the 2nd time and received a canopy ring. I'm building the manifold and planning to reach 8 main colas in a few weeks. Thanks for stopping-by! 😎

She's expanding her 4 main stems in a beautiful way, almost like a baloon. Her leaves are a bit weird but still nothing to worry about yet. Thanks for stopping-by!

Not much to say, still working on the mainlining and trying to enlarge the canopy. I'm wondering if I should push to 8 main colas or keep the 4 existing colas and give them plenty of space/heights. Let's see how this goes, thanks for stopping-by!

Working on the mainlining with the help of the canopy ring. You can see a picture of a chili-pepper growing alongside the babies, I do believe energy is precious, each and every empty space in a growroom is a loss of energy/power/potential. So I always try to add some plants when I have free space, and it usually leads to great results with the vegetables!

Something is wrong within the soil... I suspect Biotabs to generate salts buildup in the bottom of the fabric pot. I'm new to fabric pot, more used to AirPots, and I completely forgot to add a layer of clay balls (or rocks) in the bottom of the pot. This theory could be right or wrong, I need to react quickly. So I gave her some good flush using CleanFruits from GreenBuzzLiquids, and I plan to use GBL products range for the end of this run. Not really happy with BioTabs, and I rather like to control everything anyway. Feel free to share your thoughts! 👊

Things are much better now. I was able to get rid of BioTabs residues and flush the soil, plus I've added a layer of clay balls in the bottom of the pot. That FatBanana is now enjoying GreenBuzzLiquids fertilizers and she seems to appreciate those. I probably won't be growing with BioTabs again, except for outdoors constraints. I'm still working on shaping the mainlining, and thinking of flipping into flowering soon. Thanks for stopping-by! 👊

She's recovering from the disorder caused by BioTabs, and is getting healthier everyday thanks to GreenBuzzLiquids. Since she's now doing fine and considering her size, this will probably be the last week of vegetative stage! Flipping into 12/12 in a few days, I'm hoping for a short stretch and reasonable spaces between her nodes. Stay tuned! 😎

Time to bloom that baby! Light schedule was switched to 12/12 and she's already showing her pistils after a few days. That's what I like with long vegged plants: they always jump into flowering mode like if they were waiting for this their whole life! Thanks for stopping-by 👋

Preflowers are everywhere, slowly expanding pistils and fattening up. I had to defoliate a bit to increase light penetration on the lowest colas. She's a monster 😎

Well, she's already covered with trichomes after 3 weeks into the flowering stage, I have great hopes for this strain! Stretch was quite easy to control and the space between the nodes is short, thanks to her Indica traits.

So far so good! She's giving it all into resin production, buds expansion seems to be almost done, they are solid as a rock and really dense! That plant will definitely be a good yielder. The smell is already crazy 😍

Buds are ripening and trichomes are almost fully milky. I gave her a last meal and will do a progressive flush on 12-12 days. What a beast! Thanks for stopping-by 😎

Last days on earth for this beautiful FatBanana by RoyalQueenSeeds. I appreciate the fact that RQS schedules are always accurate, 7 weeks as planned by the breeder! Stay tuned for the harvest post, I'm gonna make some nice Ice'O'lator with her sugar leaves 😎

Very strong weed, dense colas, good yield, nice terpenes ...that strain is fantastic. I was able to make some dank ice'o'lator with the sugar leaves from the trim, it's incredibly powerful and gets me to bed most of the times. As for the buds, I keep these for the evenings, it's the perfect strain to watch a movie or enjoy some static activity, if you manage to keep your sticky eyes open 😛 Thank you all for watching, stay tuned and follow me for some other grow reports! --- 😎👉 You can save 10% and get free worldwide shipping on GreenBuzzLiquids website by using the code 'stick' at checkout.
