hey guys and girls, NEW UPDATE!!! I have a new camera 😍Sony alpha 7ii...what a beauty ..the pics are cristal clear and the camera make things look bigger than they are 😅... just like this little plant here... she is only 9 centimeters tall and and the leaves are small ...the width of the leaves is 4 cm...looks like 15 cm on the pic😅.... these girls are freakin insane😱 . they grow short but have a lot of side branching and huuuge leaves for their age imo.... .... they'll get transplanted in a 4 litre container but i will not fill the pot up to its max...i'll go for 3 litres ( don't want to spend money for new pots) The grow: Smell :this strain reeks like hell man....the most smelliest strain so far slightly ...aaaand one of these girls smell a little bit like a banana peel...so i hope we found the holy grail of banana smelling weed here.... Ph: 5.8 liike allways Ec: 0.7 they are hungry and they need alot of magnesium guys ......so never forget ur calmag or add some bloom nutes over the whole cicle RHM: humidity is at 65 %.... perfect😎👍 next i will LST them a little bit ..... so have a nice one till next week

Hey ladies and gentleman, the plants get bigger and bigger .. the smell is moderately strong .... all smell of grapefruit and a bit bitter ... " 2 HERMIES out of 5 plants. 2 plants have large buds ... well one of my worst grows ... i think i was unlucky with the seeds ... nevertheless i am very disappointed with this strain .... i love barneys though I would not recommend tropicanna banana .. The Grow: PH: 5.8 and it stays where it is Ec: 1.3 next week i'll reduce the amount of nutrients to 0.8 to prepare the girls for the flush in wekk 8 RHM: 45% perfect for week 5 in bloom have a nice one people till next week😎

THE FINAL WEEK BOIZ AND GALZZZ!!!!!! A total of 57 days in bloom and this is the last week for these ladies. The trichomes are approximately 80% milky and 20% amber. The plants are harvested today. more about growing and my secret techniques in the description below.😎👍the girls got flushed the whole week with 10 litres a day per plant.AND LOOK AT THESE COLORFUL GIRLS !!!MAN !!!!SO FUCKIN BEAUTIFUL😍 THE GROW: These plants are super easy to grow, perfect for beginners. Even in coco, it is no problem for beginners to get resinous buds and with the right pheno u are able to harvest a descent amont uf good quality bud. It is important to fertilize regularly (1-2 times a day)in coco. I use advanced hydroponics of holland for this fertilizer and osmosis water with ec 0.0,Canna Coco professional + is the soilless Medium of my choice. so I know exactly how much fertilizer I give to the plants without any impurities that are in the tap water .... one of the reasons why i I have more control over what happens to the plants. if you grow in coco, keep the ec low at the beginning and from week 3 of flower on you go significantly higher with the ec to speed up the bud production(use bloom booster (or high dosages of magnesium and phosphorus+potassium). . the humidity should be around 45% in bloom imo. But you have to / can go down to 35% at the end of the cycle (in week 7-8) MY SECRET TECHNIQUE: one of my techniques for increasing resin production in a Coco grow or a soil grow👍 ... The "drying out method"! This method is used during flowering. In week 3, 5 and 7, I let the substrate dry out completely to let a lot of oxygen into the roots. This method stresses the plant a little bit, which pushes the plant to produce a little more resin. This process takes about 3 days. After the process I water the plants with a lot of nutrient solution. Next week is harvest week with bud shots from the resinous girls so see ya later Wachsemilian😎

the Tropicanna Banana is an extremely delicious weed .... I smoked it in the Volcano (storz and Bickel) Vaporizer and the taste of Yuzu (asian citrus fruit) spreads throughout my mouth. when you exhale you can taste a fine sourness .. .one of my buddys said "it smells like a sweaty armpit covered in Yuzu deodorant" .and he nailed it with that comment !!!! perfect description. One pheno slowly develops a smell that is reminiscent of very ripe bananas(2 month cure). this strain did not convince me at first but now I see the tropicanna banana with different eyes .... a really good strain with very tasty weed .... 100% recommendation💪: 1:

Hey guys, Finally the final report is there. It took a long time but due to the corona virus and my job at a state company it was not possible for me to find the time to do this review. The grow: The tropicanna banana is a very easy to grow plant. Any beginner will be able to generate good yields. The plants need space because they become very large. They are definitely sativa dominant. As you can see, they are packed with resin. The buds are rockhard and heavy. if you always give this plant enough nutrients,it will not disappoint you .. But this strain needs a little more care than an indica because of its sativa heritage. I love this strain for the beautiful colors of the leaves ... Perfect photo models ..👌 The yield was really ok .. not the biggest buds I've ever seen but still very good. I can't complain :) I can recommend this to everyone who likes a really good smoke .This stuff is one of my new favorite in terms of taste!😍 Thats it for the Tropicanna Banana For now ...hope you guys enjoyed it (the pics and stuff) Have a nice one and till next time with the Resin Monster Dos si Dos 33😎 Wachsemilian👌
