Day 50;
She keeps adding volume. She's now 60 cm tall and she keeps spreading. She's super happy with the feeding, and I couldn't wish for better grow in veg. I'm pretty sure I've trained her too big for the slow release nutrients I mixed with the soil, and I expect I'll have to feed her some more during flower that should start to happen soonish.
Day 51;
She got a light defoliation today.
Day 52;
She keeps preparing for flower and she's bulking up.
@HazeyBobby, we're thinking alike, mate. I'll talk to my friends who own a van to see if I can use it. Then I'll just hope I won't get pulled over. The Police has road blocks quite often due to my home town being a gateway for drugs into the country.
@HazeyBobby, yes I'm lucky regarding the sun. We have some pretty intense sunshine here most days. The Banana has started to grow very well the last few days. I haven't grown any outdoor photos before so I'm not sure when she'll start flowering, but hopefully it won't be too soon. She needs a bit more meat on her legs before flowering.
@Ferenc, thanks mate. She needs another few weeks, so I hope she'll survive. Too risky to move her now, so she'll get less direct sunlight. Bummer! She was doing so great...
They look like aphids - my balcony grow always gets them and I've been using neem oil for the first time. Seems to have been doing ok but have not gotten rid of them - just controlling their population.
@HazeyBobby, yes I think at this stage the plant benefits from keeping all the leaves it has.
Those gnats are a never ending story for me. The H2O2 treatment got rid of most of them.
@HazeyBobby, cheers mate. I started a bit late, but we'll see how we go. I'm interested to see how the slow release nutes will do. If it works well, I'll keep using it for my outdoor plants. It costs near nothing and if I don't have to mix any more nute mixes I'll be super happy.
