Bananas week 6

7 different strains? That’s a handful! I would like to do more than one, but I need to get my experience with one strain. Too many variables for me. I can’t even get 1 strain to come out right. Hopefully you get the desired results. You are right, I’ll use the KISS (keep it simple stupid) method until I get a good crop.

So I’ve been doing a bit of internet research. I also just received my encyclopedia by Jorge Cervantes. There’s so much bro science on the web, it could be nonsense, but someone posted that plants thrown into flower “too soon” have a good chance of herming. Has anyone here experienced this or heard from a reliable source this is true?

One thing that has me concerned is the mother plant I used came from a plant in late flower, so technically that is a light schedule screw up by itself. It took forever for it to switch back to veg. Anybody take a clone from a plant later on in flower and have any issues?
 
Yeah it feels like a bit much at times, but usually it's only when I have to do some major work to them (trimming, transplanting, etc). For the most part it's just watering though, not too bad. Ladies I have in flower right now are the biggest girls I've had so far. Quadlined them and tied them down and that's about it but I still ended up with 8+ colas on pretty much all of them. Was the first time trying that technique but I think I'm going to stick with it. I did take clones off one of my hydro ladies in flower. They were just starting but it hasn't finished rooting yet so it still has little budlets on it. Can't wait cause they're huge. The biggest one is about 18" and already looks like a month old (maybe more) started from seed, and the smaller ones are still about 12" tall. Figure they will give me a good start once they root, shave off over a month on veg time. But they have to turn back first. This is my first time cloning in flower so I'm hoping it goes well. As far as whether it will cause them to herm easier, I have no idea.
 
Found some bananas today on one of the 6 I have left but it's going to stay in the tent. The last herm pollinated a couple of these plants already so I'm leaving this batch up to nature. They only have a month or so left anyways. In the third pic you can see the seeds piping and forming inside the bud. I will have seeds to add to my seed collection.

In case anyone is interested, I just finished my dry. I ended up with about 17.5 bagels. Weird stuff was happening so I pulled the plug at 10 weeks. Strain is an 8-9 week flower. Around week 7 it looked like foxtails were growing. I had buds with mostly brown hairs and new growth coming out of them. Found only 2 mature seeds so far, but I cut one in half while trimming. I’ve learned a lot from this grow and I still ended up with good smoke. All the clones I have are now outdoors except for 4, which just started flowering with a cheap LED experiment. I’m starting a new strain, grand daddy purp, for my indoor. Thanks for your feedback everyone!
 
Looks mighty fine. Good job. If this one turned out this well, well then imagine how good the next one will me. Looks like some good smoke.
