NICE those BB nugs look so fat, to be honest i havnt grown buds that big, i live by the coast too so mildew is bad, only had it one time but i try to keep short/ ISH plants
Dude that Banner is HOT FIRE. I had no idea! It was donated to me by a friend who had acquired, well let's just say a
couple more plants than his legal limit.
I grew it under a T5 for about 6 weeks, topping it like crazy. It went into flower with 8 heads on it at about 3 feet tall. I popped every branch over at about a 45 degree angle and it never even stretched. It just stacked on colas. I was growing two huge Snowdawgs and a 4 foot wide Flav plant in the back of the tent, so the Banner got placed in the front, with the door open, getting the light that spilled out from around the Snowdawg super-bushes. Even in those less than ideal light conditions, it ended up yielding two ounces of some the most potent weed I've ever come across.
Sadly, like a fool, I didn't take clones. It just looked like a tiny plant to me. I was looking at the Crush, the Flav, the Snowdawg, the Heavy Duty Fruity, some of these fat-yielding delicious strains that had thick stalks, huge broad leaves... The Banner was just spindly by comparison... I put it in the garden like, "Alright, sweetie. Let's see what you do..."
My sincerest hope is that I can exchange clones with this friend in the coming weeks, and acquire back this phenomenal strain...
You just never know what you have until you flower it out, cure it up, and puff it down. Between my brother and I (also a medical patient), we ripped through those two ounces in a month. I'm down to a single 5 gram nugget of it. Shit is OUT.RAGE.OUS.
