Planted two Royal Queen fat banana autos both came up but one never opened (pic 4), waited three days, replaced with a mystery auto from Greengrass seeds (under cup). This will be day one for this grow, I hope for 60-80 grams from the FB in 10-11 weeks. Lights are 2 Kingled plus 1200w leds on 18/6. The plants are in 3 gallon air pots with pro-mix hp, coco pith, lime and perlite. I use Fox Farms trio and bushdoctor supplements, advanced cal-mag and superthrive. I also plan to plant two blueberry autos from seedsman soon.

Thanks. This is my first try with a banana strain. This seed came up strong, Royal Queen has never let me down yet.
 
The mystery seed didn't make it. I tried to use the coco pith like a seed starter plug but it was too wet, live and learn. I have started three blueberries, freebies with last seedsman order, in this heated seed starter, $40. I have been having a lot of problems with germination, maybe this will help. The tent warmed up about 4-5 degrees F from the tray and I should have better germination rates now, I hope. I lowered the leds to 24 inches and have one on veg till the seedlings are ready, maybe a week or so.

Day 11 for the fat banana (last pic) and I am still impressed with it's vigor. I transplanted two blue berries from the propagation tray yesterday and so far so good, call it day 5 for them (pic 1&2). Pic three is a crinkle cut auto from twisted tree, day 3, a small quick plant that looks like a tric snow popsicle. One of the blueberries didn't make it and the cc will be used for RSO (hash oil). Well, after a rough start I have 2 tents with 7 plants of 5 strains and 3 different breeders, what fun. The FB got 5ml cal/mag and a half cap superthrive per gallon, 2 quarts, on day 9 and will get first Fox Farms trio feed about day 14. The others will get a half cap of superthrive today and will get cal/mag and superthrive around day 10. Hate the purple look, I'll get some pics without lights next time the wife has the dryer going.

Merry Christmas everyone. Got off my ass and took some pics of the Fat Banana auto. About day 18 and it's a female and the growth and color are good. Lights are at 18 inches and now that she has reached the sides hopefully the vertical growth will start. Yesterday I gave her 15ml big bloom, 2.5ml grow big, 5ml microbrew, 5ml kangaroots and 5ml comeback in one gallon. It's been a few years since I grew in pro-mix, been using black gold potting soil, so I had to wait for the mix to get dryer before feeding. The two blueberrys and the crinkle cut are about 10 days old and got first feed of superthrive and cal-mag plus also.

The blueberries have made it through my transplanting and are starting to look good (pics 1,2,3) and the crinkle cut (pics 4,5) has a good spread and color. The fat banana is just that a fat lovely girl with good growth and color.

The blueberries are about 30 days old and are doing well for being transplanted poorly. The fat banana (last 4 pics) is starting to flower but she is only about 13 inches. I was expecting more because of the stem size but "live and learn".
