Banana Cake

Expect eight to nine weeks of flowering under controlled indoor conditions; outdoor timing will depend on the local season and may run later in cooler areas.

Use a balanced veg feed then switch to a bloom formula with slightly higher phosphorus and potassium during flowering; reduce nitrogen late in flower to aid ripening.

Watch for spider mites, caterpillars and botrytis; maintain airflow and moderate humidity to reduce mould risk, especially in late flower.

Harvest when trichomes are mostly cloudy with some ambers for balanced effects, or later if you prefer deeper sedation.

Dry slowly for 7–10 days then cure in jars, opening daily for a couple of weeks and keeping them sealed for several more weeks to develop flavour.

Yes, the plant's bushy structure responds well to SCROG and LST; SOG can work with multiple small plants to maximise turnover.

Keep daytime temps around 20–26°C and nights slightly cooler, with humidity 40–50% in late flower to prevent bud rot.

Beginners can grow it with some basic knowledge of training and humidity control, but the moderate difficulty means novices should read up before starting.

Low-stress training, topping and selective defoliation help create an even canopy and improve light penetration to bud sites.

Compact tents with good LED lighting, inline fans for extraction, carbon filters for smell control and oscillating fans for airflow provide the control Banana Cake needs; aim for stable temperature and humidity across the canopy.
