Day 36 of flower;
Her buds are growing well, and she's getting sticky. She doesn't smell very strong, a soft fruity smell.
I still have problems with red mites, and tonight she'll get a spraying of Arac Nabis that supposedly is okay to use in flower. These little bastards are very hard to get rid of. The plant is huge and it's hard to spray everywhere...
Day 39 of flower;
We had some heavy winds and unfortunately one of her branches snapped right off. I ziptied and taped it and if I'm lucky the branch will stay alive until harvest.
Day 42 of flower;
The broken branch is sagging a little bit, but is live and kicking still.
The buds are starting to get heavy and some of them start to hang a bit.
@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.
