Firstly, I'd like to thank Royal Queen Seeds for this opportunity to trial the Fat Banana Automatic with the use of Royal Queen Seeds fertiliser and products.
I too am looking forward to see the end results from this plant. Stay tuned...
These 2 have eventually come up after showing to be very weak and slow. Hopefully, now that they have germinated they will try to gain enough strength to carry on.
This week I have seperate both plants in to seperate pots to ensure that performance will be high. I am interested to see how these will grow over the next coming weeks and are already giving off a slight weak aroma of a citrus banana...
These plants have progressed quite well since last week and are getting a lot bigger. I have changed the light to a 2kw Koscheal light with a power consumption of 250w. As a result I am expecting great things from these two in the weeks to come.
This week plant number 2 has excelled compared to plant 1. The only difference is both plants have been fed with the easy combo pink tablet, half of a tablet dissolved in 2000ml of water. Equally fed throughout the week to both plants. This will continue up until the final stages. Fertiliser was provided by Royal Queen Seeds
This week I have applied the easy combo tablets (half tablet mixed in a water solution). Plant number 2 has had quite a growth spurt and has grown beyond plant 1. Both are showing well signs and are very branchy/spacy rather than leafy.
Plant 2 isnt producing as many bud sites as plant 1 is. It is focusing all of its energy on its main cola. Both have been treated the same however. The trichomes of both plants are astonishing with a strong scent of citrus aroma. I may have to introduce a pk booster although I still have one black tablet remaining from the nutrient pack RQS provided.
This week both plants have been showing OK signs. Both plants have shown some sort of improvement, it just isn't quick. Oh and there were some spider mites present so I had to defoliate some leafs. Not sure where they have come from 🤔
This week I have started flushing the plants for the final stage of their growth. Trichomes are slowly turning Amber in some places but it has a lot to catch up on. Some how there are mites within but it isn't really bad. Hoping I can wash them thoroughly when the harvest window opens.
The images aren't the best but plant 2 has already been harvested 5 days a go (it does not disappoint!!!!!). It was more established than this plant is. I am expecting for it to be finished by the end of this week. All is going well at the moment, the smell is crazy.
Really do like this strain, the effects are out of this world. Negative effects such as dry eyes or dry mouth experienced but certainly worth the wait. I shall update more when both plants are dried and ready to cure fully.
I did expect a bit more weight from them but I am not complaining.
Love it!
