Banana Foster

Use full-spectrum LED lights with around 600–800 µmol/s PAR at canopy for flowering and 300–400 µmol/s during veg. Maintain a consistent light schedule to encourage even development.

Keep relative humidity around 40–50% during flowering to reduce mould risks. Increase airflow and use dehumidification if necessary.

Feed a balanced NPK regime with slightly reduced nitrogen in late flowering. Provide calcium and magnesium to avoid deficiencies in cooler conditions.

Harvest when trichomes show mostly cloudy with some amber for a balanced effect. Inspect multiple colas as phenotypes can finish at slightly different times.

Yes, topping and low stress training improve light penetration and yield. Screen of Green or Sea of Green methods both work when adapted to plant vigour.

Use good airflow, remove excess foliage, and keep humidity in check especially during ripening. Consider an early harvest if prolonged damp weather arrives.

It can be grown outdoors in favourable microclimates and with careful site selection. In Lancashire, monitor weather and provide shelter from persistent rain.

Aphids, spider mites and thrips are common indoor and outdoor issues. Regular inspection and biological controls help keep populations low.

Use a carbon filter and maintain negative pressure in the grow room to control smell. Seal entries and use inline extraction with variable speed control.

Design a room with controlled temperature, adjustable LED lighting, good airflow and a carbon filter for odour control. Plan canopy layout and humidity control to match the strain's moderate vigour.
