@einamio,One more! LOL One thing I failed to point out is that your grow is already looking way better than mine did at this point, so I bet you'll have much better end results.

@einamio,For nutes I did Cal-Mag & the 3 Fox Farm nutrients (Grow Big, Buds & Blooms and Big Bloom (all dosed according to manufactures recommendation). For soil I used 1/2 Fox Farm Ocean Forest & 1/2 Fox Farm Happy Frog. I also put in some perlite for extra drainage. I really wouldn't follow my lead on this one though, I only got 12 dried grams in the end. Just enough to show me how awesome this plant can be. I'm anxious to see how yours goes & hopefully I can learn something because I really want to grow this one again. I'm smoking it right now, I wish I could share :) Soooo good! One of these days I might post the grow. I tried to figure out how to do it but I couldn't get the pictures to upload. I'll try again when I have more time. I took daily pictures, kept a journal, etc.

@einamio, I had nothing but problems with the grow, presumably because I don't really know what I'm doing. I'm here to learn. Mine went into flower on day 31 then I harvested on day 43 of flower which was day 73 of life ( I think I forgot to say "of flower" before...big difference!). I harvested because the plants leaves looked horrible & I didn't want to risk the little bit of bud that was there. The tiny frosty buds looked great but all the leaves were dying & not in the way they do when it's the last week or two. Maybe it didn't like that I had my lights on 20hrs per day, but the rest of my plants didn't mind. I probably had the lights too close as well but my light is really heavy & I didn't have anything I could hang it from that was taller. I think the Orion F-1 is probably just not a newbie strain. The 3 that did excellent for me were Blue Cheese, Fat Banana, and Purple Punch (all from Royal Queen Seeds).

@Shelly420, thanks and no, These phenos are genetically spoken some kind of unicorns. I've had a purple queen Auto from rqs 4 years ago, that took 20 weeks til harvest, 1 sweet zz Auto this year, that took 17 weeks and the 119 Day banana started flowering, when her sisters were allmost finished...i cant rely on the given flowering Times because i run them outdoor. Its mostly 2 to 3 weeks more veg and 1 to two weeks less flowering in mid europe.. let your banana go until trichs are good. Mine will Fall Sohn because i have the first moldy Spot spotted today...

WOW! I only ended up with 12 grams from my Oriion F1 so your grow is totally impressive. Mine were just about the best 12 grams of weed I've ever smoked. It was covered in trichomes and tasted & smelled incredible. I'm totally jealous of your grow :)
