Fo' Twenny here with another update on our Fat Banana girl bred by Royal Queen Seeds! I am trying to get more precise and add more detail to my diaries. Let me know your thoughts!
Any advice, suggestions, or constructive criticisms are always welcome. Now on to the details!

9/16 - Day 38: Photoshoot day! She is about 14" tall now. She is already smelling fantastic. Very sweet and can definitely pick up on the banana ๐ undertone! She is beautiful shade of green and super healthy with no overt signs of infestation, disease, or malnutrition!

Day 39 is also feed day! I have been feeding my autos with solution used for the photoperiods in the bloom tent and I follow with plain water to dilute since autoflowers dont like the heavier feeds. She received approximately 12 oz of nutrient solution. After 15 minutes I added 12 oz of plain tap H2O run through x2 KDF filters pH to 6.4. I use BlueLab pens and calibrate bi-weekly.

@FoTwenny, ๐คฃ๐คฃ that was me a few years back I had countless diaries on my old page. Now I only put a select few on GD, mainly the ones I've been asked to grow out so breeders can see progress. I've got one more big run if purple dawg next for my plug then it's back to my own beans ๐ I've just done the same thing with my dawg diary I went to update it and it was in flowering ๐คทโโ๏ธ๐คฆโโ๏ธ๐คฃ๐คฃ
@Treighfunky, her fragrance is fantastic too. Where she lacks in stature, compared the the Pineapple Express... she more than make up for with her frosty terpy goodness!
@Wilstang, Thank you for the kind words! Yes, I think the Fat Banana is going to be really nice quality. She smells amazing and is super frosty! Cheers and happy growing my friend!
@FoTwenny, My smoothies were one of my largest yielding autos and they had very little training, great soil, solid grow conditions and they just produced, I love it, less is more!
@MrJones, Thanks for the kind words dude! I have honestly never left a plant untrained, but with the SOG, I knew I probably wouldn't have room for that. She is looking very pretty, though. I am really happy with this one, so far!
Dayummm!!! That looks awesome! Nice work on this grow. A friend just gave me a Banana Blaze and Durban Poison today. After looking at this grow I need some banana in my diet.
