[HappyHazmat88]

DAY 15 BANANA JEALOUSIES.

Just over two weeks above surface and both banana Jealousies are doing great. Noticeable growth in the foliage... So they are happy with the light change for sure. . Number 2 is still a little tall but will be remedied next week with transplant.

They were watered yesterday with plain water with no additives until a slight run off and given a quick look over.... No concerns...no pests.... No deficiencies.

Light: 18/6 under 100w "Blurple" led.
Temperature: 74-76f - 23.3-24.4c
Humidity: 50-55%
Nutrients: none added, they are feeding on what is in the soil.

DAY 17 BANANA JEALOUSIES.

Both ladies have been up-potted into two gallon fabric pots which were layered with 1" of perlite at the bottom, followed by about 1-1/2 inch of FFOC soil topped with a tsp of bone meal and 2 tsp of @DYNOMYCO mycorrhizal root inoculant. Then finished off the rest of the way with FFOC soil.

Once placed in the new homes they were both fed 1/3 cup @GeoFlora Nutrients Veg and watered to run off.

They have been sitting out on the back deck all day and seem to be loving the outdoors.

And before anyone says to fill em up.... I ordered more FFOC, so no worries lol I'm aware after a couple waterings the level is going to drop further so I must get on it asap.

And now they will be moved from inside to out daily and back in at night.... I know I know it will be a pain in the ass later on. But as of current I cannot have these outside due to colder night temps still and the issue of them being illegal for home cultivation for another two months ..... There has been a helicopter that has been flying around the area for the past few months weekly at night.... Could be nothing.... But why risk it.

But for now they get to chill and enjoy the scenery.

Oh one additional thought.... I'm going to have to figure out some kind of semi friendly animal deterrent. My back yard butts up to the cemetery and we get all kinds of animals ground hogs, fox, rabbits, etc.... so I don't want to harm any animals for plants....but also don't want them to harm the plants.

Was possibly thinking cayenne pepper spray in a perimeter around where I intend to keep them. But any other thoughts are welcomed....also must be teacup Chihuahua and 5 year old friendly as they play back there.

DAY 20 BANANA JEALOUSIES.

Alright so the ladies got moved back inside for a couple of days, until this strong winded front passes through (2-3 days). Yesterday I woke up 6a.m to a calm morning with a strong sun and couple clouds....by 1 p.m had 21-25 steady winds with up to 48 mph gust . Anyhow I got home at 3:20 and the girls were layed over.... But luckily enough they were still just doing there thing . After a quick stilting and moved to the tent, they perked up quickly and resumed like nothing happened. For being so small they are very hardy. So far banana Jealousy by @SeedsMan is showing to be a strong strain, I'm excited to see what else these plants show.

They have received nothing since last watering from me. The storm the other day actually watered them for me... So I guess that was a plus lol.

After a check over they seem to be fine and free of pests or illness . They are now sitting back inside under @ViparSpectra P1000 100w light.

Thanks for stopping.

DAY 26 BANANA JEALOUSIES.

The banana Jealousies are doing great. I think they have acclimated to New York weather patter....which is non-existent ... Could be 60 for a bit and then drop 10° and high winds come out of nowhere....which has already happened.

Anyhow they're both growing fairly fast and are loving the outdoor environment. This is my first real attempt of having outside plants so it's awesome to see the power of the sun in action. Right now they are put out with the rising sun at 6a.m and brought back in at around 8-8:30 pm and stay under the light until next day... So they are receiving 14-14.5 hours of sun and then getting 7.5-8 hours of very low strength light with no darkness. I know it is recommended that plants receive a dark/rest period but they seem to be loving the routine.... I have done 24/0 before with good results similar to this but used dimmer on lamp instead of changing light source. For now I'll stick with what I'm doing, if anything changes I'll make a change.

They have been drying out the last couple of days and under a tarp when outside. The next watering will be tomorrow and they will also be receiving their first dose of food at 1/3 cup top dress Veg by @GeoFlora Nutrients with a tsp (manufacturer provided scoop) of Cal-mag in the water bottle (3L bottle).

So far I'm looking king the over growth and look of these, and can't wait to see what else Banana Jealousy by @SeedsMan has in-store.
