********************************************
This week, I was welcomed in a special club. It became clear to me when I opened the tent two days ago. There they were, sticking out one of the main colaâs, it was almost impossible to miss them: 2 bright lime green bananaâs. It was like the little dicks were smiling to me. I immediately removed them and search all the plants thoroughly multiple times for more, but didnât found one. So, I guess Iâm now a member of the âhermies clubâ.
As for the cause: I suspect light stress. The light was close on the canopy, a little closer than (for example) dr. Cocoforcannabis recommends for this light. I found the two bananaâs on Jannine and the bud that had them, is the one thatâs almost in the middle of the tent, where the light is the brightest. The plant on the left, Kim, was also showing some foxtailing on her highest buds. Hence, I raised the lights 6-7 centimeters. Hopefully, I took away the cause of the hermies; off course, Iâm keeping a sharp eye on the buds, but I havenât found any more than those two.
Also, EC of the drain tends to go up, hence every few days, I now just give them plain pHâed water, to prevent high EC spikes.
The trichomes are developing nicely. I bought a jeweler's loupe to study them, because with my USB microscope itâs almost impossible to get a clear picture (I donât have a steady hand). The girls are 7 weeks into flower: there are no amber trichomes, but most trichomes are partly cloudy (30~50%) and a minority is still fully clear. I guess two more weeks before harvest, maybe 1,5 week. I switch to GHE Ripen later this week. I didnât use such a product during my first grow, so Iâm curious to see if it does something good.
Besides the two (hopefully sterile) bananaâs, the plants look and smell great.
Thanks for stopping by, stay safe & keep growing!
