ELG's Strawberry Banana Seed Run Attempt

Are you able to get roots in just water?

I am, but it’s hit or miss, and it takes a few weeks. I do it a lot with other veggies, but with that I don’t mind if only 1/4 cuttings roots.

My tentative parallel circuit for the grow box🤙


Now I need to connect it to a plug, install those twist cable caps and test it with current and bulbs.

The 2 clones I cut are still standing strong and I even think they turned their leaves toward the light, I guess it’s a good sign


But the cut my buddy gave me started drooping. Poor plant, I hope it’s strong enough to make it. It was taken from a hydro grow, maybe its not so compatible with soil.

Day 54

Finally done with the box, it’s not pretty but it’ll do the job. I just have to fix the light leaks and get some sort of foam to cover the ventilation holes at the bottom. I also ordered an AC infinity multifan s3 120mm, it says it’ll take 2 weeks, I really hope I doesn’t take that long…

I tried to gently wiggle the clones up and down a bit and they are nicely stuck, they also look Iike they never lost any vigor. I removed the “domes” for few hours and no sign of weakness so far. Maybe it really is an ELITE like they say… It kinda scares me that things are going so smooth.

Oh and yeah the LSD died… RIP :disappointed_relieved:

We got the fan.:call_me_hand:

I was looking at those specific fans last year & thought there was something non-standard about them.
If you get a chance, measure the DC voltage and post it.

What I want to do is cross their fans to standard fans (available at Digikey etc) and primarily use their controllers.

Cheers

I don’t have the machine to measure the voltage. Hope this helps!

Air exchange. My humidity was constantly hitting 80-85 at night before I broke down and made a hole in the ceiling to send the humid air elsewhere. My humidity is still on the high side but it’s manageable now with airflow. Helped me a bunch with temps to. Ideally you could condition a lung room but that’s not feasible how im set up.

Thank you, it’s okay I didn’t have a lots of hope. I’ll try it one day for sure, the pest and disease resistance really caught my eye.

Yeah I don’t have lung rooms either and can’t really make a hole in the wall or exhaust air anywhere. I grow in closed closets with fans for air circulation. I think the plants health is taking a hit with the high rh but according to VPD chart it should be fine. I finally pulled the trigger and got myself those small dehumidifier.

Day 60:

I noticed the plant slowing down, so I added some chicken manure pellets and the next day it showed pistils. I hope it’s just showing sex and didn’t start flowering.

Obviously I talked too fast. The clones started wilting after like 12 hours and got back up after a put the bags back on them.



The last one I forgot to put the bag back before going to work. Its been bent like that ever since.

Day 62: The Badtrip

Owner called and is having a realtor check the house to possibly put it up for sale. I’m at work and they are probably inside of the house visiting. I had to move everything inside a closet this morning. I can lock the closet but I don’t have the key nor does the landlord. I tried to pick the lock to see if I could lock it, I was able to pick it once and didn’t succeed a 2nd time so I said fu*k it and just put some heavy stuff in front of the door, as I was getting late to work. I hope everything will be okay, I’m glad I prepared for this to happen.

Update:

Well while I was writing this, I got the word from the owner and he’s going to put the house on the market next month. So basically I’m screwed because a photographer is going to come take pictures in the beginning of August and obviously people will want to visit… The good news is he didn’t open the closet!

The seed run is paused and now it’s operation relocation.

That’s really shitty!! Hope things work out for you. Wish I could be there to help, I would watch the plants while you moved for sure.

First of all, you, bad father, left your child unprotected and now it looks sad and weepy till you learn your lesson! Then it’ll pick up speed and spirit and forgive you… next, a lot of shit just to keep them plants out of sight. If we were on Mars I’d yell, “who or what the heck has to do with nosing into my own private life which is currently showing signs of plants on the outside!?” Ok, starting from the landlord, there will be a line of a…holes willing to do it just for the kick of it!! Be safe brother, a plant we can always go back to it and grow again, the deprivation of either your freedom and life is unthinkable!!! Miss the babies’ pics from the wild!! Please feed us with some more!!! It was fun and funny reading it!!! LOL! :rofl: :hugs: :laughing: :flushed: :clap: :clap: :clap:

Thanks for you support @Oldtimerunderground @Abbbian finding another place to stay is going to be a challenge and yes I know I was a bad father… I work full time and sometime it’s hard to keep up with them and the ones outside. But hey I’m still good and I still have weed so everything is good. :call_me_hand:

So I have come to the conclusion that the Strawberry Banana will have to go outside at Spot B of the guerrilla thread. I initially didn’t want to do that because I don’t think it will be able to finish properly outside. But I read somewhere that it’s a strain that flowers fast and anyways I don’t have anywhere to put it now.

That Strawberry Banana will love the sun, if you can keep the soil moist. She’ll stretch out there. Maybe by the time she is ready to flower, you can bring her back inside.

These two girls (Reserva Privada Strawberry Banana) were raised that way. Started from seed inside, went outside at 4 weeks veg, back inside to flip and now they have about 10 days to finish:

Hey @Flylowgethigh welcome to OG! You have some beautiful plants. I’m sure she will love th8e sun in comparison to what she has right now. We’ll see how she goes, only time will tell.
