Growing well, keep having to remind myself that she's not 6 weeks old but 3.
Going to top or fim her this week. Nematodes seem to be working well.
Not 100% sure what method going to use to grow this girl but going to run her for 8 weeks veg.
Have an ameno acid /carb shake being made. Will give her a dose of that next feeding.
@Mrs_Larimar, I believe nothing wrong with making mistakes as long as you don't repeat them and learn from it. How one gets better. No one's perfect and if claim to be ; probably make alot more mistakes than the open one's.
@Mrs_Larimar, just realized that has a purple pheno.. lol..
Assumed Banana would be closer to a lemon look, light greens/yellow.
I got really dark leafs on her so might come out with a purple.
Gnats are a pain in tne ass. i fight them very hard in every stage of life. Nematodes for eggs and larvaes, and yellowstickers and neemoil for the adults.
But you leaves looking like Thripse ( little piercings in the leaves) https://www.growweedeasy.com/cannabis-plant-problems/thrips
But one positive aspect,,, you got a good soil^^... only in a living soil you got gnats
@Fusion, yellowstickers and nematodes are a big key to solve that problem. ( i let the stickers lay down at the layer.. and spraying the layer with neempilsolution helps too. Some grower look for neemseeds and crush them and put them into the soil. But i have no experience in doing this
@Mrs_Larimar, think your right with the thripes. Can add all 3 to my pest problems. Not used to pests as always done hydroponics in the past. First year doing live soil. Hopefully these nematodes do some damage to them heard they are amazing for pest control but never used them.
@Mrs_Larimar, have you used the enhancer yet? Says drop to pH 5.0 but how's it effectively staying in range as nuits get used up or evaporation. Can see it causing fluxes.
@Mrs_Larimar, yeah she's pretty much done last of the whites are curling up and turning color. Tomorrow will throw in dark for couple days.
Going to be a high yeilder.
@Mrs_Larimar, yes they are. Was slow to start but now looking like going to be a nice plant. Thinking 2 more weeks veg should get the branches reaching then flip lights.
Crossing fingers for the lil one... and germinating is a Part of grow that needs lot of Attention. My feeling is, that the Seeds get more tricky.
I started in just putting them into the ground and done ( years ago).... Today iam doing a germinating Routine that has many steps......
First i put them into a little box and shake the seeds ( microcracks)
Then i let them soak
then i place them under wet Kitchensponge ( keeps humidity veery long)
then i plant them and give them a " Open dome"
And i spray the seedlings daily--------someday multiple
and if they still " runting" i givwe them aloe water
That the way i keep my germinating rate high
@Mrs_Larimar, tell me about it.. used to just throw a bunch of seeds in area of the bush and end of summer would have a bunch of plants that need harvested.. now unless soaking them they don't pop. Think might be pollution and the global warming , heating up faster this not giving the seeds the rainy spring.
I just soak mine untill they crack and then put in my medium.. if can't pop from that probably not a strong strain.
Hiiii,,, and welcome.. finally..... i wont be worried because of the deadline.... Nomally the competitions run until everyone is done.
And hey,,, Nice Shirt
@Mrs_Larimar, thx. Thought I wasn't going to get in. Can't wait to see how these banana turn out. Banana is my favorite profile out of all the strains.
