This week I started my second attempt at Fat Banana Auto, last time they all hermied so my hope is for it to go smoother this time. So far it's growing well, although I'm seeing wrinkling in the lower leaves accross the board, hopefully it's normal and healthy. Time will tell

Fat Banana is growing really well and consistently, it's pretty short and stocky but seem like it'll be a strong plant. This seed germinated quick and hasn't slowed down yet

Would it be good to Top/fim this plant? It seems to be growing consistently, I don't want to do anything to reduce the yields though.

Really exploded in growth this week. Smells a little big now which is nice. Pistils are also starting to show. This plant responded very well to LST

That’s what you would call “nute burn” or nutrient burn. Dial back your feeding a bit and it should be fine. Cheers 💨

This plant is looking pretty nice but also has a lot of spacing between bud sites and I'm not sure it'll yield well. It's been having consistent issues with either a difficiency or excess and I'm not too sure which yet.

The plant is looking nice but is slowing down in growth and leaves have never regained their full greenness. The canopy is pretty flat overall and I'm hoping by identifying what's wrong I can still get a good yield

The buds are coming in nicely even though there was a calcium deficiency. There are the most crystals coming in on this plant so far. No real smell

This plant is not showing much resistance to my levels of noobishness. Not really a beginners plant, that said it's coming along super densely covered in trichomes. Very excited for the harvest from this one

A lot of the color came back once I supplemented iron and lowered the pH, the plant is looking pretty nice and dense in terms of the buds, really nice tropical smell

Things are getting nice and dense, just water at this point I also defoliated it heavily the smell is nice, very tropical I'm surprised this plant made it to the end considering how it looked early on

Week 10. Harvest

Happy Harvest Day!

The weed is great, I've only had it water cured so far, but the weed is strong and enjoyable. There was only a little amber, the high is a up high Update:This weed is amazing when slow dried and cured, literally smells and tastes like a candy banana after a few weeks of curing with a boveda pack I was surprised to actually get a decent yield from this plant it did very well. I water cured under running water for 8 hours then did a quick dry in a dehydrator. I definitely recommend this method. The plant grew easily and didn't slow down much from problems.

This ended up being a very solid plant that could put up with a lot of abuse. It smells great and gives a generous yield with good lighting. Update: after further drying and curing my final yield was about 3 oz the flavor of the buds is super sweet and fruity, definitely one of the best strains, water curing some was not worth it when the flavor is as amazing as it is

Looking great man I wouldn't worry too much about those tips cut back on nuits and should grow out of it... I normally just give plain water until maybe week 4 in light mix soil and when I feed first its at 1/4 strength and go from there. Grow looking great 👌👌
