Automatic Fat Banana

Filippo33 Hi guys, I'm absolutely green behind the ears, this is my first grow. A few of the girls were planted directly into the 15L fabric pots, others in Jiffys, and the rest in a damp kitchen towel in a ziplock bag. All have germinated. So far, I've watered 3 times with about 0.5 L of water at a pH of 6.5. Half of the recommended amounts from biobizz were used. And for the 4th watering, about 0.35L per plant only with calmag and pH-. One plant has a weird spot, maybe someone can help me with that?

Filippo33 So week 3 has started, the soil that was a bit moldy on the surface last week was scraped off and replaced with some fresh soil. But on one lady, I found 2-3 spots (like rust stains). Does anyone know about this? Best regards Update from week 3, I have rust spots on a few plants and the lower leaves are curling. I was told it’s probably a calcium deficiency. So, I added 1.5 ml of biobizz calmag to 1L of water and sprayed the plants twice before bedtime. I think I’ll continue with half the dosage of the nutrient schedule from week 2. If this poses a problem, it would be cool if someone could warn me. Best regards Little update, the girls were watered today again with half of the nutrient schedule from week 2 from biobizz. About 0.5L per plant (pH value 6.4) New update, yesterday I watered again with about 700 ml per plant using half of the biobizz nutrient schedule. (pH value 6.4) But since yesterday, 2 plants have developed claw leaves, maybe someone has a few tips for me?

Filippo33 They're growing pretty well so far, but the claw leaves are worrying me. Fertilizing has been stopped, and only pH-regulated water at 6.4 has been used for watering. If anyone has some advice, I would appreciate it. Pictures without light will follow in a few days with an update. The claws are still present on 2 plants. I've stopped fertilizing; currently, only pH-regulated water at 6.4 is being used for watering. So far, I find that the Fat Banana is growing the best. None of the 3 ladies show signs of over-fertilization. 1 of the Sweet ZZ and 1 Royal Critical have these claw leaves. From beginner to beginner, I would recommend the Fat Banana. It seems to handle the nutrients well compared to the others. So far, I've only been using 1/2 of the recommended amounts from the Biobizz schedule in week 2. I will wait a few days before continuing with fertilizing. A little update: currently, I'm only feeding with water and pH-regulated water at 6.4. They're growing and growing right now, some more than others. I think I’ll start fertilizing again next week. I would appreciate advice on whether to continue fertilizing or, better yet, to wait a bit longer. In week 2 of the Biobizz fertilizing schedule, I used 1/2 of the recommended amounts.

Filippo33 Week 5 has started, I'll take a few more days before fertilizing. Update coming in the next few days. Small update, I've started fertilizing again. I'm currently using half the recommended amount from the schedule. They've really grown a lot these days. One lady has grown really big again these days (Fat Banana Automatic RQS), she was bent down 90 degrees, but she didn't break. I've started fertilizing again, currently twice a week with fertilizer, otherwise with pH-regulated water at 6.4. Update coming with next week.

Filippo33 Hi guys, the girls have been washed really well these days. Right now, they are being fed with nutrients twice a week, otherwise with pH-regulated water at 6.4. I had to bend a fat banana because it got too big. Lower leaves that were damaged or yellowish have been removed from the bottom.

Filippo33 Currently, I'm watering with fertilizer twice a week. Otherwise, I use pH-regulated water at 6.4. The big Fat Banana was tied to the side since it grew so large. I've now placed the big Banana in the corner and removed the damaged lower leaves as well as the oversized ones that were blocking the light. Since I noticed slightly burned tips, I only fertilized once last week. I will lightly fertilize again the day after tomorrow, then I'll provide a new update.

Filippo33 Right now, I'm fertilizing 1 - 2 times a week, otherwise, it's pH-regulated water at 6.4. This week, I trimmed the lower side branches that were getting little to no light. I sprinkled clay granulate on the surface of the soil. A more detailed update will come mid-week. Stay safe, and stay healthy 🙏🏽

Filippo33 Pretty chaotic this week, the Fat Bananas have grown so big that since they were no longer under the light, Supercropping was tried on 2 plants. The Royal Critical have now developed purple leaves and are blooming very nicely. I'm fertilizing 1-2 times a week with half of the recommended schedule from the company itself. Otherwise, I'm watering with pH-regulated water at 6.4.

Filippo33 Currently, fertilizing is done twice a week, a bit under half of the manufacturer's recommendations. Otherwise, there's regulated water with a pH value of 6.4. The 2 Fat Bananas that underwent HST are slowly getting into gear. The next update will come after watering.

Filippo33 I feed twice a week with nutrients and once with pH-regulated water at 6.4. Some have gained quite a bit of weight in the last week, and the trichomes are starting to turn milky. Little update, I've started flushing the 2 Royal Critical, Sweet ZZ #2, and Amnesia Haze #1; they're only getting pH-regulated water at 6.5 now.

Filippo33 I started flushing some of them 2 days ago. So they're only getting pH-regulated water at 6.5, and I'm still feeding the Sweet ZZ #1, the 3 Fat Bananas, and one Amnesia Haze (twice a week). I think the Fat Bananas are almost ready too.

Filippo33 Two days ago, I last fed the Sweet ZZ# 1, the 3 Fat Bananas, and Amnezia Haze #2 with nutrients. The others were already ready last week. From now on, it's just pH-regulated water. This was my first grow without experience, and some plants that were really stressed due to my mistakes aren't as beautiful as they could be, I assume. Forgive me, everyone starts somewhere. Wishing you all a Happy Easter, stay healthy, and stay high!

Filippo33 In this case, a very large autoflowering. A fruity sweet aroma and a strong high.

Filippo33 This strain was the problem child in the tent. I think with more experience, a great final product would have come out.

Filippo33 A good strain to start with growing. This strain forgives a mistake or two.

Filippo33 For me, the winner in taste from this grow. Very fruity.
