Tropicanna Banana

Day 5: Starting a new batch of one of my favorite breeders! I am looking forward to this strain and seeing what the next four months will bring. After doing this pretty much non stop for nearly 3 years, I have determined I that the scrog method is my preferred grow technique for maximizing the yield of my grow space. It takes longer than other methods, but I feel it’s worth the wait!

Day 11: she’s doing just fine! I removed the humidity dome for added airflow and she’s just about ready for a cup of soil.

Day 15: I’ve got them under 15 hours of light for now until my tent is free. I kind of forgot I had it set to 15 hours to prep my outdoor plants for early June. Growing nicely, so far!

Growing strong and just about ready for 1gal pots! She will be going in the tent after harvesting this weekend.

Got her topped and transplanted into 1gal fabric pots. I watered with 30ml URB and 10ml MFP after transplanting.

Growing strong, but I noticed some spots in the leaves and I think it might be the onset of thrips. So, I mixed up a batch of Spinosad and sprayed them down yesterday to get rid of them. Topped and transplanted into 7 gal pots using 30ml urb and 10-15ml MFP to prep the soil.

Going strong after topping! She’s looking healthy and has a few weeks left to go before flowering.

Adjusted more tie downs preparing for the scrog screen in a couple of weeks. Smelling amazing! Absolutely delicious!

Holy moly what have I done?? This plant is growing too big, too fast! I’m not ready for flower yet!!! Crap!! Oh well😳😜

One more week before I can put her under the scrog screen. She’s a beast and I hope I can tame her next week before the flip to flower!

Just a few more days until flipping to flower! She’s a huge beast that needs taking badly!

Transition week! Finally flipped to 12-12 on these beasts. Dealing with my miscalculation from starting these too early and I’m already at the edges of the screen before she even start to stretch! This is going to be interesting!

Pistils are forming and flower mode is in full bloom! Smelling pretty good in the tent. She’s definitely overgrowing the tent, but hopefully, there is a great yield.

She’s doing great and the buds are developing nicely! She’s a beastly plant and smells great! I’m looking forward to the growth over the coming weeks. I should probably do some defol this week, too.

Finished up the 4th week of flowering. I did a major defol and took many large fan leaves to allow more light to the bud sites. Looking and smelling great! Bumped the nutes up to the next level on the feed chart.

Looking and smelling great! The buds are thickening and reducing node spacing. Removing the large fan leaves helped a lot!

Heavy tops need yo-yos! I had to prop several branches up! She’s looking great and nearing the final phase of flowering. I’ll be flushing in the next week or so!

Getting close now! I think I may start water only for the next two weeks and that will be all! Soon to be chop time!!

Flush time! She’s been water only for a few days now. It’s amazing how quickly they can be ready when you think you have a couple more weeks! I think I’m going to try to squeeze another week out of her.

Oh man, she is so ready!! I don't know if I can wait until a week from now to chop. She smells soooooo good! The giant colas are finally complete. The pics just don't to them justice compared to getting smacked in the face with their scent and beauty. This looks like it will be a solid producer. I'll take a guess at 3.25oz, maybe a bit more. The giant stems are misleading, but we shall see. Stay tuned for a harvest report a week or so after chopping.

I ended up vegging for 11 weeks, which resulted in having some really large colas! I was very happy with the overall yield considering I thought I was going to have 3.5oz and ended up with 4.26oz and very little waste! Pretty good stuff overall and sure does have a strange stink to it. She's a powerful beast!
