@HazeyBobby, I just use plain tap water and no humidifier, I always have to bring it up, since it is still in the tent, it's still always under vacuum and has minimal ventilation through any leaks, but seems to work great. My problem with drying has always been with it drying too fast and this has been a great solution

@CrankledLarkus, sounds like a great setup. I also use my tent in a similar way once all the plants are harvested. Surprising to hear no venting though so I assume your humidifier can also dehumidify... I haven't tried that before but could setup something to test with my dehumidifier :) great to share your approach - thanks! I used a humidifier for the first time on my current grow and noticed a whole film of white stuff on the inside.. have you had such an experience with using a humidifier and do you use distilled RO water in the humidifier? (I think my problem was using tap water :) )

@HazeyBobby, The best thing I've done for curing is purchased a cheap humidifier with humidity control, I use small humidity meters too to confirm humidity. Have a space isolated in my tent (1x3 feet) with no venting and a small fan, and keep it at 60% humidity. That way you can leave them in there for 1 to 2 weeks without worrying about them drying out. The curing results are amazing too with the extended hang dry in a properly controlled environment. Highly recommended!

So, my buddy neglected his BK and she's currently dying. Very happy to see the care and attention you've put into this girl... She's absolutely beautiful man and you did a great job. The fruits of your labor will/are well deserved. Good luck with the final days. I look forward to your opinions and reviews! Cheers and happy grows this week. 👌😉

@CrankledLarkus, I hope he does too. Just needs to care a little more...lol. And happy tasting. I'm sure you'll be pleased with your efforts 👌. And thanks man. Looking to chop the NL's soon enough here. We had pretty lined up grows this round. Kinda cool👍☺️

@JinksyGrows, That's too bad to hear about your buddy's plant! Hopefully they keep at it. Thanks for your kind words! I will most definitely be updating with a harvest next I believe. Many samples to be had 😁. I look forward to seeing yours finish up, they are coming along very impressively!

Oh boy look! @ that canopy. Pristine 👌. Managed to keep them all even, great work 👍👍

@CrankledLarkus, Yes to everything you said. In my future I picture many different mason jars sitting on the shelf, with all my favorites. If I grow one strain at a time, that may never happen and I like variety too...a lot👍. 2 strains in first grow, 3 in second and planning 4 for the 3rd grow😊. Keep up the battle, you're winning! Cheers buddy.

@JinksyGrows, Thanks! Really appreciate it. Trying to maintain an even canopy with 4 different strains is an ongoing battle! It would be so much easier doing only one strain per run... I just enjoy having the variety come harvest time way too much

MomnPoppaSeedcommentedweek 105 years ago

So excited to see yours grow. I have 5 that just went into flower but my big girl is about halfway through and full of thrichomes. This one has been on top of my list for thrichome production and I am so excited to taste her Have you ever tried this strain?? I have not but at 27% THC it was worth a try. Happy growing!!

@CrankledLarkus, I cut mine yesterday and the banana scent was strong with this one. I didn't notice a banana scent at all until she was ready for harvest. I hope the flavor remains but I will say this. Potency is also there, we tried some a couple of weeks prior to cutting and it was already powerful. you should be happy

CrankledLarkuscommented5 years ago

@MomnPoppaSeed, this is my first time with this strain! Really looking forward to seeing if that 27% lives up to the description. Also banana flavours!? Yes please, I can't recall ever experiencing banana like flavours before so am excited for that! I'll be continuing to follow your journal for a bit of a sneak peak for what I'm getting into

I'd be considering a lolipop to thin the inner canopy, and to train for flower set.. as is, by the time you get to full flower production, the canopy will be so dense, that air circulation within the canopy will be very difficult.. dunno if you've already got it slated to do, but early flower as opposed to late flower is when I do mine on bigger plants.. cheers, looks great!

@DWCHC, yeah, that's a good call, it is getting really messy! I have done a minor lollypop but could definitely do more. I've held off a bit because I have a buddy who might want a cutting for his next run and those sucker branches are prime candidates for that. They are also still getting a final defoliate before week 3 of flower is done. Appreciate the comments and advice! Happy growing

Wow, they're really sizing up nicely. I'm about 3 weeks from harvesting my 1st BK but just set the lights to flower on 5 more. The thrichomes on this strain are amazing. As many or more than my gorilla glues. I'm curious about what yours will smell like because mine started out like banana and flowers but now she smells of pine and citrus. I was kinda concerned with my plants leaves always seeming to droop but looking at yours I can tell it must be the heavy indica phenotype. I can easily understand how this strain could thrive in a tropical environment with their airy disposition and massive fan leaves. I'm extremely excited to find out what yours will smell and look like at the end. Happy growing!

@MomnPoppaSeed, I am finding this strain to literally grow like a weed! I was able to easily get the top I had cut off to root into a cube by just having it sit in a bowl of regular tap water. I also noticed that even though it shows vigorous growth, it does look wilty most of the time, almost like it's over watered. I'm looking forward to seeing how this one smells once it starts bulking up?

MomnPoppaSeedcommentedweek 35 years ago

They look nice, did you maybe drop a little water on the leaf with the spot? I've had that happen and it was just from a drop of water bleaching the leaf from the light. As for cal-mag I'd say go for it. My big girl has been getting it with every feeding plus a little nitrogen because I just switched lights. I dont find mine to be a glutton for nutrients but my gold leaf is so its always an option. Good job and best of luck

@MomnPoppaSeed, Bah! I don't think I splashed any water on it, I'm not sure what has caused that marking, but haven't seen it get any worse yet so am hoping whatever caused it was just some kind of anomaly. I just fed it water mixed with only cal mag today as it was getting dry and the run off was getting a bit rich (around 770ppm) so didn't want to cause any nute burn. Will be transplanting to a larger pot soon to allow it to take off. Thanks for the comments! Always appreciated

Yes!!! We can be banana buddies!! Haha At the moment I have 1 ready for flowering room, 3 small clones and 1 seedling. The funny part is I've never even tried this strain or even heard of it b4 buying seeds. Have you tested anything from this strain b4?? Her estimated THC levels are pretty crazy.

@MomnPoppaSeed, I've never tried it before so am really looking forward to seeing if it really ends up with banana flavours!, And yeah 27% I believe!? That was a deciding factor for buying this one, hoping it will be completing coated in gloriousness!

Flower time is always super sweet smelling at first with BK. My moms almost done but my 4 babys are in early flower and the smell of this strain changes a lot throughout the flower cycle in my opinion. I know that they all do that but I find the type of scent really changes. Such a lovely grow you have there..

Good job, I think we're on a similar schedule which is good for both. My banana baby was transplanted on 11/30/19 and she's happy with her transplant. I didn't increase my nutrition yet but I'm going to give a tea today that will be a little heavier than usual on cal-mag. The coolest thing I found so far about this strain is how easily they clone. They literally just need some damp soil and they will start growing. Still waiting to find out she tastes but thinking about adding a banana flavored terpene enhancer on later to the clones to test the product
