I have only smoked 4 of them, and I guess it depends on the grower as well, but the 2 that stick in my mind are at the top...hehehe.
Yeah the top 2 really stands out! ;)

Done inspection every day as I now know the mites have spread from my balcony-banana plant to the grow room on the other side of the apartment...still not a biggy...I just pick off the leaves w "white dots" on them as that is a sign the leaf has been "taken over" by @-holes, thats really all I do...the sponge thing was too tiresome T_T Well I also try to brush off "single mites" I come across on random leaves, w a small brush. Flushed plant today so Ima cut them 4-5 days short this time as I see this shit is spreading pretty fast. Wish I could take a pic so it shows all the mites on the banana plant....it looks really sick! There's so many the leaves has a plastic appearance, almost as if the whole plant has been wrapped in plastic foil...it's sooo sick! Gonna put a big garbage back over it in few minutes the chop it at the base and throw it...shame cuz I really liked that plant...

Bummer, I have a nice banana plant that is also need ing some love. It sits outside my front door under a glass roof, but has sprouted a whole new tree as they do, and it's just gone bos, so new pot me thinks....seem to spend my whole time buying bigger pots and more soil.
You gonna do a big clean down? I am fighting thrips at the moment, I think I am gonna re-do my whole grow cabinet.
Hope all is well.

Peace, DST

I'm gonna take the time to build a new set up (as I have been planning on for ages), havent had time for it earlier since I've had grows comin right after a finnished one.
Another 7 days, then Ima harvest and clean the grow room then build the new set up....next harvest will be in bout 4 months...not acording to plan....but I'll have to start all over...well I can veg for bout 5 weeks till they too big for veg chamber, but still I wont put any beans in soil untill I've cleaned up and sure of that those fkn mites are gone ;)

The banana plant need big pots but not as big as U would think...mine was bout 1,5m tall, 2m wide (easily) and I kept it in a 30l pot...however I was gonna up pot it to 50l...but bigger than that u wont need untill it's 2-3 years old.

6 days till chop chop...if the bugs dont spread much I might let it go few more days. Today I got some strong shit I sprayed on my outdoor plants to kill ALL kinda bugs LOL! I also bought leaf shine wich I sprayed after. I also used "leaf shine" on my HB's and only to the big leaves, I was afraid of spraying the buds ;) but I couldnt use what kills them cuz thats some strong shit and it gets taken up by the plant...so only leaf shine to keep them in control. Its looking lovely and theese babies smell really sweet...interesting. 2 days after flush and they have started to autumn off. Pics any1? :hump:

First things first! Do I have a story for U guys...

I chopped my HB's around 20th of August this year, bout 3 months ago. It all "dissapeared" at the speed of light and since I only have a male in flower now, it was looking "dark" as to me beeing smoking moar HB anytime suun. My dogs woke me up just before 7 this morning, bout 5 hours before I get up T_T but this time it made me very glad. Now ur all thinkng where da f**k is Pc going w this one? As most people I turn off the light before I go to bed, I sleep there, and if its on its "dimmed" ;) and I wouldnt be looking around the room I would then be focused on other matters at hand. Anywho, the dogs woke me up, they were playing around in the bed jumping and "fighting" and I had to get them cool before I could go back to sleep. So I turned on the light to see what was going on, calmed the dogs down and lay down to sleep again but fergot to turn off the light. That was good =) From where I was lying I could see something that I thought was a big ball of dust wedged between the book shelf and the wall. I stood up to take the ball of dust and throw it as I was gonna turn off the light anyways. To my amazement it was not dust, it was a good sized, perfectly grown HB bud =) It must have broken off when I took the ladies down after drying, hanging from the shelf :weed: It was very dry ofc but still had a very potent kick (just smoked half of it in a doobie) great aroma when grinded and that characteristic HB taste somewhat to a lesser degree but still. A great morning story! =)

zupz fingerrrz? If u like heavy smokes ur in for a treat w the HB =P I'll be checking on yer journal in the near future...bout 4 mins.
