Banana-Mango

disclaimer: this grow was all from last year

Pottted out doors grow?

Nice one!

great shot of a damn good looking plant!

Yeah happy plants ,, grow Karma

That thing look happy as fuck!

Good 1 Munchy ~

it's a 20 gallon pot, and the mobility allows her to spend extra hours basking directly in the sunshine

very nice
is going to be a monster

It looks so elegant... Maybe I'm stoned but that's a good looking plant right here mi compa...

Have you cloned it?

not soon enough. was too busy working..
saw this on the strains' site after it was too late,
but thought maybe it wouldn't happen to me,
given the seemingly longer days recently:

Place clones outside on June 1st to prevent premature flowering.

I wonder how this might turn out now? an early harvest of airbud?
probably not too good... maybe I can get more of this kind to start over

You could get it to revert, hack it back to just a few short branches.

Damn! I agree with Roots you could hack it back..

But damn! I was excited 4 this one.... If you need cuts hollar! I just picked up a bunch exotics 4 myself

thanks so much! i got 1

early training
Type: Sativa Dominant
Genetics: Mango Trees x Banana OG x Blueberry Muffin
Scent: Ripe banana and sweet mango
Flavor: Banana candy and mango nectar
Effects: Uplifting and calming
Suggested Medical use: May help calm nerves

"We threw around the name Humboldt Smooth before deciding that banana and mango are the dominant aromas. The combo of terpene profiles that make these unique seeds is rare in our experience. This strain packs a punch and might leave you on a tropical beach soaking up the sun. You will appreciate the huge plants and amazing vigor. PM resistant but can have mold towards the end of the season. THC hovers around 22% with high trichome production, but the nose is what makes this so special."

it's gonna be a damn shame that I can't smell anything.

here's their stock pic:

oh well, here's a little Ice Cream Cake...
Type: Indica Dominant
Genetics: Wedding Cake x Gelato 33
THC %: 20% – 24.99%, 25% +
Scent: Sweet, vanilla, sugar
Flavor: Doughy, sweet, creamy
Effects: Relaxing, calming

"Ice Cream Cake is a strain that produces gorgeous flowers with looks and taste that does not disappoint! These flowers are tight, dense, and absolutely covered with trichomes. You can expect a vibrant, light green coloration dashed with dark purple hues throughout. Off-the-charts bag appeal."

their stock pic.. doesn't look like a heavy yielder:

the board is glitchin'

Blue Dream
"Hailing from Santa Cruz, California Blue Dream originated as a medicinal clone. A cross between DJ Short's Blueberry (indica) and Santa Cruz Haze (sativa), Blue Dream quickly rose to become a staple in the West Coast grower and dispensary communities. With 50-100% stronger yields than most other strains, Blue Dream produces huge dense buds packed heavily with trichomes, and covered with a fine coat of light orange hairs. With a healthy balance of full-body relaxation and mental stimulation, Blue Dream is enjoyed by new comers and veterans alike. While Blue Dream traits tend to lean toward its sativa ancestry, some phenotype have more indica like expressions."

Scent: Floral berry, spicy, cedar, blueberry pie.
Flavor: Classic haze with a tinge of floral berry.
Effects: Uplifting, cerebral, and energetic. Enjoy this bud outside in nature or use it to unwind after a long day. Patients appreciate the cerebral awareness followed by a calming body high. Good for an all-day remedy as its indica traits are not too overpowering.

Suggested Medical use: Best for treating aches and pains, depression, anxiety, nausea, cachexia, appetite loss, bi-polar disorder, and stress.

Platinum OG
Type: 50/50 Hybrid
Genetics: Master Kush x Afghani OR Purps x Master Kush x OG Kush
THC %: 15% – 19.99%, 20% – 24.99%
Scent: Minty, lemony, skunky
Flavor: Minty, lemony, skunky
Effects: Spacey, narcotic, happy, lazy. A nice heavy body high with a crazy thought provoking head high.
Suggested Medical use: Stress, muscle spasm, spinal nerve pain, body aches, migraines, nausea

"Platinum OG is considered by many as the “ultimate” kush strain. Found in sunny California, very strains compare to Platinum’s potent kush scent, taste, and effects.

It’s no wonder where the Plat OG Kush got its name--this kush strain is so completely covered in crystals that it takes on an actual silvery platinum bling. Each nug is a centerpiece unto itself and beautifully adorned with purple hues and bright orange hairs."

THC %: 20% – 24.99%

"Larry's Breath, AKA Larry Bird Breath, is a stunning, slightly indica-dominant hybrid. This cultivar produces gorgeous flowers, even in winter greenhouses! Buds have electric orange hairs, silvery trichomes, and hues of lime green, purple, and chocolate. This strain is a solid all around performer in greenhouses, indoors, and outdoors with proper air circulation.

This gorgeous exotic produces an incredible effect."

Sweet update Munchy.

Last I tried to login it said I was you Munchy!!!

Replacements are looking good my bro!

* I could see the pics but now I can’t see them..
I’ll wait to upload lol my attachment didn’t work either.

Ah well.. keep it green ~

* edit the plants are back again!! Looking denk

got some more Banana-Mango for my bowl,
as well as Mango Dream, Ice Cream Cake, GMO and Appalacia OG Punch
of course the bud looks much better IRL

flowering has begun already, looks like hydrangeas,
got a lot more of them to untangle from my old trellis net, lol
just a quick tip, to view images larger than the first click,
open in new tab and then click the +


the inside of the fence is lined with this 90% shade cloth, over 90' all the way around,
to keep any potential rippers from peeking through the slats:
the whole place is like booby-trapped,
so if anyone tries to get to this at night,
they'll be in for some surprises.

getting a new automatic drip system
watering by hand is quite a chore and getting worse quickly

any thoughts on using this bug netting shown and described below?
hopefully it wouldn't inhibit growth?
1. Pest control: The insect net can basically block all kinds of insects, mosquitoes, pieris rapae, plutella xylostella, cabbage moth, prodenia litura, achillea, ape leaf insects, aphid. Significantly reduce the use of chemical pesticides. Can be used to grow pollution-free crops.
2. Regulate the temperature, soil temperature and humidity: Tests show insect nets help plants enjoy up to lower temperature. Also, it can effectively prevent frost. Insect net helps reduce the indoor precipitation and the indoor evaporation.
3. Block sunlight: Insect nets can shade to a certain degree and reduce the possible inhibition caused by the strong light.

That could be a bit of a double edged sword. If the attempt to conceal is obvious, that would attract the attention of many of the thieves I have known..."What are they trying to hide?"

Got a dog? They are a great deterrent.

105F today, 110 tomorrow
spent hours re-doing the whole thang
hopefully 8' will be high enough

smoking some 35% thc GMO Crasher now...
it was an excellent buy for only $60 per 1/4 oz before a 20% discount
"It’s a beautiful spacey high, thanks to Wedding Crasher and GMO. The vanilla inhale gives way to a minty exhalation in this sativa leaning hybrid. GMO Cookies is not a genetically modified organism but a cross between Chemdawg D and a GSC (formerly Girl Scout Cookies) Forum cut."

looks nice and vigorous.

Wedding Crasher and GMO.

GMO is one of my favorite smokes. It's nice and distinct. I lost my damn cut.
The crasher sounds fucking STRONG.

P.S. Hopefully the heat fades for you. Nice job on the netting.
I don't use the nets but friends of mine do cast them over their berries

Did you mix any compost in soil?

no, just a lot of perlite and a little peat moss,
but the base was FoxFarm Ocean Forest Organic Potting Soil
"The Ocean Forest Potting Soil is perfect for containers and ready to use right out of the bag. Ocean Forest is pH adjusted at 6.3 to 6.8 to allow for optimum fertilizer uptake. There's no need for nitrogen fertilizers at first; instead try a blend like this to encourage strong branching and a sturdy, healthy growth habit. The Ocean Forest Potting Soil has everything your plants need, in one bag. Ocean Forest is a powerhouse blend of premium earthworm castings, bat guano, and Pacific Northwest sea-going fish and crab meal. Composted forest humus, sandy loam, and sphagnum peat moss give Ocean Forest its light, aerated texture. Start with Ocean Forest and watch your plants come alive!"

Munch I talk a lot of shit on FFOF so I am hopeful you prove me wrong.

I didn't know that's what you had used! The plants look so good I wouldn't have guessed.

I suppose that's because of the green thumbs eh

I've always thought of FF as the best stuff around here.
but I believe the #1 super-important trick is adding a lot of perlite, like 30%, to improve drainage.
Another really good trick is watering in Maxicrop seaweed extract,
and Diamond Nectar humic (fulvic) acid in-between feedings.

FF is good. I use the Happy Frog occasionally.. However The ONE time I tried FFOF I failed. So I remain bias...

"NAH SON THAT WASN'T MY FAULT THAT WAS THE SOIL"

If I had added more aeration I bet the plants would have looked much better like yours.

I haven't used Maxicrop but I do use some kelp and other sea product. I'm going to look it up.

I liked the Fox Farm Ocean Forest the best..

big fan of the kelp
shit
put that stuff in my own food...

as long as ur beans are legit you should like the icecream cake imho. i lIKED THE FEW BUDS I HAD TO SAMPLE.

ice cream cake banana-mango from above my head

I just ran across this pic, only hoping mine come out looking as nice.
most banana-mango pix I''ve seen don't have any purple

Damn those are some healthy plants Munch Man. Ice cream cake looking a bit heafty-er.

The pic from HSC does look tastey. Always love me some subtle purps ~

just waiting for the sky to turn red like last year...
i wonder how long it will be before they see the sun again...
at least the bug net is also good for keeping the wildfire ashes off of them

bummer i wish you were getting clear skies

The shift in wind is getting me too, but no ashes yet....I was told the fire won't be out till we get rain but the winds should shift away from us in the next few days.....I'm guess ing the timing is right to help put things in flower a week or two sooner.

Hit mine with a 0-10-10 this morning.

all clear today, sunny blue skies

good to hear hope it stays that way.

thanks!
the blue dream, behind the ice cream cake, is up to about 7',
but it's slowing down, and maybe just in time to stay under the net
probably because i took off some of the big fan leafs

close-up of banana-mango top

looking good

thanks! i did a full tree rotation and re-alignment
swapped all from front to back and side to side
so those which were getting mostly morning or evening sun were switched
and i can keep a closer eye on wtf is happening with the banana-mangos

the blue dream is behind this banana-mango top... on both sides
has plenty of headroom in the back center for now
these are looking extra shiny since were just showered
with the DIY peppermint/tea tree/iso/peroxide bug spray

another banana-mango cola shot
trying to see how the structure is forming so thick under all those leafs

Nice super thick colas! I love the sunshine glow around those heffers.

i just put bananas on the grocery list

try a banana chiffon cake
they are so good...

sounds good, maybe the mrs will go for it as a challenge.

so that DIY bug spray I used turned out to be a big mistake
mostly just for the banana-mangos
because they were already a few weeks into flowering
followed by accidentally leaving the water on all day
and not seeing much of the sun all week
due to the smoke overcast more often than not
i took off a big bunch of lowers to direct their energy up
to where it would have the best chance to recover
finally starting to see some fresh white hairs a week later
but it feels like they lost more than a week
they still have plenty of time though
before all this, i had been thinking I might get 3lb,
but now maybe back down to just 2lb if i'm lucky

Well that sucks but at least you will still have a good bounty. Two lbs. is nothing to sneeze at.

Looks like your plants never hit aggressive veg this year, it’s hard to tell how the flowers will form when this happens....sometimes the node spacing is just too tight.

hmm... they are 6 to 7' tall..
i didn't want them to go past 8' so i added some late training

Notice how your big leafs coming out of the buds only have three leafs, that plant wasn’t in aggressive veg when it started flowering......when a plant is in aggressive veg it will have pretty much a minimum of seven leafs/fingers and as it starts flowering will drop to 5 then 3 then 1 leaf.

Mine only aggressively vegged for a week or two this year.

i had removed most of the big fan leaves as well. but this was the same strain i had started too early at the beginning of this thread, was very sensitive to start flowering during long days in mid-May so had been replaced outside around June 1st, according to the nursery's recommendation, and did go out with only like a week of indoor veg time, and then it vegged out there for a good 6 weeks before started flowering weeks before all other kinds.

this pic was from about 10 days before flowering started

1lb of Banana-Mango
