Week Commencing Satruday 6th March This ended up being a short week for the fat bananas as they were cut down on Wednesday 10th. I was continuing to flush with refrigerated, filtered water until Wednesday when I checked the trichomes. The two short Fat Bananas had 10% amber trichomes and I felt they were ready. The other Bananas didn't have any amber but, as I was going to dry in the tent, I was limited to the number of plants that could be switched back to the cupboard for finishing. Everything I've read states that too early is better than too late and as they are all the same genes they couldn't be far behind in terms of trichome maturation. In the end, the Northern Light was relocated and all the Fat Bananas were harvested. RQS state that the Northern Light takes an additional 1-2 weeks to harvest. The Northern Light is now under a fluorescent bulb along with the next crop of seedlings (2 x RQS White Widow Auto and 2 x Fast Buds GSC Auto) I will post the harvest entry in the diary when the Bananas buds are dried and weighed. The Northern Light has 1-2 weeks to go but I'm not sure how it will react after going from 600w of HPS to 50w of CFL. Not ideal!

What is the ideal light ratio for germination under my grow conditions? (autoflower in plugs, in a heated propagator, in a cupboard space)

I like to keep things as natural as possible and have the lights ready to go as soon as the plants start breaking through the surface of the soil and then give them the optimum light schedule of 18/6. This will ensure healthy growth without over taxing your plants. Any more than 18 hours of light is basically a waste of electricity as cannabis can only grow so much in any 24 hour period and this is achieved in 18 hours. Also, believe it or not, plants do actually need time to "sleep" and do certain metabolic processes that can only be done in/during the dark cycle. Plus, after Millenia of evolution, there is no plant on this planet that has ever evolved with constant 24 hours of light or other time schedules above 18 hours. Hope this helps,.... Organoman.

I transferred my auto seedlings in their plugs to a small, transitional pot. Is it true autos can and should go straight from germination to the big pot without a stepping stone?

Well, in every transplant you risk shocking her. Problem is, an autoflowering strain is bound in time, not in photoperiod. If her gets shocked, you will lose precious grown time. I almost always grow autos in final pot, taking care in water regimen.

I started LST on day 15 and now the plants are on day 50 and now and then i still make some adjustments as the plant grow... once youรฌre happy with the results and get into mid flowering keep doing LST...after that it just become harder because the stems get stiff hope i've helped...good luck

I think flowering is right around the corner with my RQS fat banana auto (x5) and northern light auto (x1). How will I know for certain that flowering has come? I need to make several adjustments when that happens.

Zoals ik kan zien is er voorbloei aanwezig in de internodes. Dat zijn de eerste tekens. Van zodra er witte bloeiharen in de toppen verschijnen is het dan volop gestart. Het is alvast geen autoflower die lang op zich zal laten wachten voor ze gaat bloeien๐Ÿ‘

Take a look at my pics. Only one plant is showing amber in the trichomes. RQS state harvest 9-10 weeks from germination. Iโ€™m 2 days into week 9. Do you think itโ€™s time to harvest or wait a while? Iโ€™ve been flushing for a week.

Looking at the pics some may finish just before others. I would harvest as the tell you. Your plant will tell you when the time to harvest is. You may harvest 1 @ end of week 9 the rest at the end of week 10. Keep an eye on those Trichomes. Enjoy your harvest.

@mrnoobis, tropical fruits. Mostly pineapple but Iโ€™m guessing it tastes more banana like when smoked. Looking forward to finding out ๐Ÿ˜„

@DreamIT, thanks! It's my first grow but I'm learning. Lesson 1: only using ventilation holes instead of a fan/duct is a massive mistake. I can't stabilise heat!
