Hello Diary.
New diary, in the fifth farm I have three new residents, one Fat Banana and two Haze Berry. Both sides are from the Royal Queen Seeds. And this diary is dedicated only to Fat Banana.
I would like to thank the team from the Royal Queen Seeds who have recognized my efforts in keeping a diary and greatly support me in what I love.
I always try to make a balance between sativa and indica, since I do creative work, I am a big fan of sativa, although in the evening, when my obligations are over, I like to relax with indica. So this time I planted two Haze Berry Auto that are predominantly sativa and one Fat Banana which is more indica.
WHY FAT BANANA?
Fat Banana Automatic stinks of tropical fruits and produces large, chubby flowers. The strain is the autoflowering version of Fat Banana, an aromatic classic. The original made her mark on the cannabis world with her insane scent, massive THC level, and rewarding yield.
Fat Banana Automatic inherited indica-dominant genetics from the original strain. Much like her predecessor, she provokes a body-slamming high par excellence. Her effects take hold immediately, plunging users into a euphoric state of relaxation.
Fat Banana Automatic’s potency also gives her medicinal viability. Her calming nature is effective at reducing stress, and the physical aspect of her high may help to relieve aches and pains. The strain is ideal for evening smoke sessions. Users might feel too relaxed to function properly during the daytime. Cook some food, put on a good film, and get ready for a few hours of couch-lock.

LET THE DIARY START OFFICIALLY:
14/09/2020
Planting. I prepared everything I needed for planting, cleaned the farm and changed the filter. I put Primaklima filter - PK 100/125. This time I decidet for AirPots, I also used them in the first two farms, BioBizz-Light Mix is already standard on my farm and Easy Boost and Easy Roots Mycorrhiza Mix from RQS as organic nutrition. Since the first farm I use only organic fertilizers and for now I have used BioBizz and RQS organic nutrition.
After I put the soil in the pot, I added 50g of Easy Boost Organic nutrition and mixed it well with the soil, after that I added 5g of Easy Roots Mycorrhiza Mix and also mixed everything once more.
I prepared 7 liters of water in which I regulated p.H with Plagron’s Lemon Kick, and soaked the soil well before making a hole in which I put the seed. Otherwise, the water would have pushed the seed much deeper into the ground.
After the planting is completed, they enter their new home. The temperature in the Box at that time was 26 degrees and the humidity was slightly below 60%.
I set the lights 35cm from the pots as Migro recommends.
14 - 17/09/2020
I sprayed the surface of the soil with water a couple of times to keep the soil moisture at the surface.
Also the humidity dropped so I put on a humidifier for a couple of days.
18/09/2020
Fat Banana sprouted, a day later from her first roommate Haze Berry.
19/09/2020
Watering. I watered with about a liter of water with regulated p.H.
23/09/2020
Watering. Regulated by p.H. at 6.4 and gave her approximately 1 liter of water.
I think Grow Diaries made a great decision to put this germination week as an option, yet that germination process is just as important and it’s great to have room to write more and show how each of us does it. See you next week.
Btw. I love it that you play around with the light placement. It really brings out the plant to shine! May you tell us what kind of light you're using for the shots? And do you really setup a black backdrop or is removed in post?
@ButterfliesLittleFarm you guys have real sense of aesthetics 👏. I love the videos and the photographs, I really appreciate them. I can clearly see that there is someone at work that knows how to handle hers/his dslr ;) great job again, keep inspiring us to do better! 🤙🏻
