Hello Growers! The size of my Fat Banana Automatic is getting out of hand. I didnt expect it to grow that big. It is in Week 6 now and its about 80cm tall + the size of the pot. Can i still take measures to keep the size down a little bit? Or is it to late? Thanks for your help.

Hello, The should be no problem in just bending her and tying her down with some plant ties or how you call it. You don't wanna cut an Automatic because of the limited time you got. I would move the pot a bit to the right. Take the main stem and tie it down somewhere on the pot (maybe make a small hole in the pot for the plant ties). Don't go to far just so you got your distance again to the light. Never bend her below the horizontal level, that will stress her too much and you don't wanna break her. If you should damage some leafs. That's not that bad. If you should break her stem use some isolation tape or electrical tape to wrap it around and keep the wound wet. She will recover if it's not too much damage and if you wrap the wound properly. Hope this helps.

I forhold til billedet ser det ud til du kan sĂŠtte den direkte op til stĂŠngerne i feks strips. SĂ„ kan du da hĂŠve den 30til 40 cm. Hva stĂ„r din lampe til at vĂŠre tĂŠndt 12 12? Hvis ikke vil jeg skifte til det for at fĂ„ mere gang i blomst og mindre vĂŠkst. Ellers kan MAN GODT knĂŠkke den ned (low stress). Men vil klart anbefale dig det fĂžrste. 😉. GOD ARBEJDSLYST og sommer .
