Banana Kush Auto Very slow to flower

[BeaconBuds]

Hi!

I have a Pacific Seed Bank Banana Kush Auto that was started late April along with 2 other strains (Zkittles and Wedding Cake). The ZK and WC plants are about a week or two from harvest but my Banana Kush plant, despite looking healthy, isn't even really flowering yet.

Everything was started inside along with my garden veggies and then moved outside around May 15. Overall the grow was just fine; plants were happy. Plants were grown in regular old organic Fox Farm soil with some perlite and vermiculite added in 5 gallon pots. Mycorrhizae was used when transplanting to the pots.

Plants were watered as needed; just when the soil was nice and dry an inch or two down.

Nutes included Fox Farm 6-4-4 Grow Big, kelp solution and silica during veg then switched to Bud and Bloom, Kelp and Silica during flower.

Here are some photos of the Kush plant.

Any advice?

Thanks!

JD

Maybe you have gotten a photo bean mix up at the breeder... can you try covering it for a while and see if she kicks into flower? That's a lotta veg weeks for an auto

That's my suspicion as well. I could move the plant inside to my little basement grow / start room and set it to 12/12.

I planted mine may 22, my one auto is looking the same. I'm using the same FF nutes as you. Question, what dilution are you using and how much water are you feeding your plants?

If you can make sure you aren't bringing any outside pests to any indoor plants you might have, yeah. Especially if a photo won't finish in your season!

I dont have any inside plants at the moment. I just treated my outside plants for some aphids with spinosad and dia earth so they should be clean.

I won't have 12 and 12 outside until about mid-September here....

Sounds like a go for an indoor finish. What a frustrating mix up from the bank/breeder People have schedules.

Yeah, it's a super bummer. Will move it inside tonight for 12/12. Hopefully she flowers and finishes strong. Thanks for your help!

Right? When it's driven by something other than care.... Be careful of online people. Strange because they are a reputable seedbank.
But this goes to show you there may be some mix-ups with the fiends and their bottles of STS while they race to the dank.

It's why I hold beans in such high regards.

Crazy story! Greed +/- incompetence has led to so many issues.

I think Pacific Seed Bank just sells other peoples seeds; these were from Kush Seeds as sold by PSB. Anyway, PSB offered to send me replacement seeds, so I picked something else to try (not from Kush Seeds). Went with Obama Kush. Time for a change!
