The thrips infection is gone but there’re still a lot of damaged leafs as you can see in the photos/videos, but the growth hasn’t slowed down which is good.
Anyway after I did some research into the big bang strain I found out that the company that sells this strain recommends “flushing” for a few days every other week starting from day 16 of flowering. This is meant to speed up bud development and I think it really did something here as the buds got twice as big. But I didn’t exactly follow their recommendations as it calls for watering the plants with large amounts of water and letting the soil dry for a few days and I don’t feel comfortable with that, so I watered them every day but made sure the soil was dry.

Gro buckets held great while I was away! Top soil was a lil dry but the plants thrived through the bottom feed they got. Smoothie is a lil slow to the party, not showing strong signs of growth.. Will be brewing a tea for them to give in about 24 hrs. I see signs of pre flower on most, will top dress with bloom and girl flower power.

That's how I know the crop was harvested too early:( ..... but only because someone started visiting my place of cultivation and took my two girls, and left two, so that he wouldn't come back a second time and take them, I decided to cut her down earlier:( that's it such news awaited me when I returned from vacation, but overall the girl looked very beautiful, although she got a lot of stress when the snails ate her, but she endured it and recovered very well:) I will dry the bigger flowers and make bubble hash from the rest, good luck to everyone be careful in nature :).

Screw the stretch then.
Full spectrum lighting from the top, the blue & red emitting from the "full spectrum" light only penetrates 1-2 layers of the leaf, the green wavelength will penetrate 4,5,6 layers, and the best ratio for flower growth is 1/2/1 R/B/G, and very little of the red and blue reaching lower parts of the plants or even the sides, flowers on lower parts of canopy receiving a majority of green will grow larf style buds, often lackluster, I supplement blue and red at the sides, I do not want to add more "full spectrum" this would double dose the green which penetrates deep.
By the end of week, I'm looking at bud sites everywhere, the density is exceptional and above what i'm come to expect in week 1.5, it was the like plant skipped the stretch and went right to bud site production.

She has heavy super glue terps! She was absolutely gorgeous, especially since I tried topping her for the first time...Nervousness...
But the risk definitely paid off!
The scales of the dried herb is good.
Especially since it's one plant.

Very fun strain to grow. Easy to train and love to get big. We had 2 different expressions on the plants and both where very pleasing. Both plants grew vigorously and provided me with just over 3/4 pound of dry medicine!

Hi all🧑🌾
Welcome to my final 🍌💜👊 week update.
First of all. I would like to thank you all for such an amazing support on this bananas journey. I am amazed of the amount of love received from community here. Thank you Grow Diaries and Fastbuds for opportuniy to share and grow this amazing genetics. Love you all❤️💜💚
Was looking for strong indica dominant strain and after reading and hearing so much about this one. Just couldn't resist to not give a go. Was a bit worried before planting seeds that my final yield outcome may not be satisactionary as only have 0.26msq and Fastbuds advertising this strain as 450-550g msq but thankfuly my result was way above this scale.
My 2 beautiful ladies
Athena - right corner lady. She was slighlthly more dominant over entire grow cycle. She got more space on scrog earlier and that's why she developed the most.
Xena - left corner lady, I belive that she could outgrew her sister if she just have more space and another week of time. Did not expect her to turn so well on the end.
Both girls were put in darkness for 48h before chop. Wet trimmed and hang for a week. Daily jars burbing for 10 days and every 2-4 days now.
Weights
Wet trimmed
Athena 870g
Xena 632g
Total 1502g
Dry trimmed
Athena 172g
Xena 147g
Total dry 319g
Bubble hash 6g (37g of trims)
I am very happy with this result.
In my opinion Banana Purple Punch Auto its a masterpiece.
Thank you so much for all the support, likes, follows and comments 🙏❤️💜❤️
Peace and love brother and sisters ✌️💚🧑🌾
Smoke review coming in shortly

So at start of week i raised the three smaller plants and evened out the canopy. That lasted maybe two days and then back right took off and is again 6-8" taller than any other plant hahah. Was able to raise the reservoir and the water lines to maintain flow to all the pots. Rest of week was hands off as I had family in town for a few days so just kept the reservoir filled. Last day of the week gave the girls a decent defoliation and adjusted the ties, attempting to fill every spot in the tent. Now there is a slight space in the center, but it will fill in as the girls grow.
Starting to get a little worried with how big these girls are getting. Already they are 8-10" bigger than the Night Howler autos I grew last year, and those were my biggest ever with two plants ending ABOVE the lights!! Hope the big one stops soon, but as a precaution I have removed the filter and placed on end of exhaust, gaining another 8" of room to raise the light. Driver also outside tent this run, so will gain 2" over previous ones.
Plants are needing a bit more defoliation than normal, with their enormous leaves they fill the tent very quickly! Before defoliation was full shade under canopy, now getting light/air through.
Let's see what happens this week, I'm expecting some decent growth from left two plants, hoping to get them off the Milk crates soon and nice to have an even canopy for more consistent bud quality and whatnot.
Lights 80% 8-18" averaging 700-750 umol/s
4" Intake 50% + 1 passive vent open
6" Exhaust 40%
Upper Oscillating fan 30%
Lower oscillating fan 50%
