Stinker & Trala's Tents: A Tropicanna Banana Republic

[Trala]

I have a cheeky Sunday update too

Unfortunately for me Pink is my unhappiest plant by a county fucking mile! Lolllling! It seems when ever I do a collab, I lose the basic ability to grow!

I’m hoping she will be mature enough to flip next Sunday. I don’t know why, but Sunday is my preferred flip day.

Bed time for Izzy and Pink (Izzy is just two days older, and so much wider!)

I hope you’ve had the best Sunday Xo And thank you so much for taking an interest in our Tropicana Banana Republic Xo

️️️Good morning Peepstars️️️

It’s Wednesday already! And I have the Australian side of our TropicanNa Banana Collab ready to roll!

Me: I’m gonna really listen and do everything Stinker does
Also me: Yeah nah

L O L L I N G

It’s been a big day for Pink today. She’s gone into her final pot in preparation for flip. Now I am thinking flip Sunday. She will legit be the youngest plant I’ve ever flipped. Omg I ripped one of her extra arms off. I’m so devo. So so devo. I didn’t even know I did it till this morning.

So I thought I’d add a couple of techniques I use. Not saying it’s right, it’s just the way I uppot. My soil is a Canna, perlite, blood & bone mix. I always water the soil mix, not the plant as a rule. Not sure why I do this lol. I think maybe even moisture? But who knows? I do it just coz I do lol. I also use a sprinkle of mycos just coz Deeve told me to lol. I also took off more leaves, sorry not sorry lol.

As you all know, I’m not at all interested in roots. My foliage tells the story. I only worry about roots if my foliage is sad. I always forget to take a roots pic. I’ve added one today for the root lovers

Health Warning: Now this is a proper warning, masks aren’t just for covid. If I had a dollar for every person I’ve nursed with lung infections (some life threatening) caused by bacteria’s associated with potting mix I’d prolly only have $23, but I love you guys and I don’t want it to be you. If you’re mixing soil, safety first, mask up.

️️️ So here’s our girl ️️️

So Fat Max my most hated tape measure tells me Pink is officially nearly twice as wide as she is tall lolling.

You root lovers will froth.

Not gonna lie, since her uppot she looks like she’s been to hell and back lol!

Time to recuperate in the Autumn sun.

Thanks for growing with us and we hope you have the best day ever!

Your move la Rue Xo

 

[stinker]

Good afternoon T. Greetings to those where its not afternoon.
Great update, fantastic roots. If I could froth I probably would.

I bet Pink is happy in the larger pot. Her top is looking right proper. Was she topped or FIM'd? You Flora and the girls aall appear to be enjoying the sunshine. We still have rain. For days now.

Let me get another coffee and have a look in the tent. Be back soon with pics

 

[stinker]

Good morning! Fortified with coffee and a couple puffs.

The tent was flipped a couple days ago. Now I am patiently waiting for some stretch before doing any defoliating.

Betty had her tops tied back to open her up and give the other growth a chance to catch up. She already has the beginnings of a canopy.

Me: I’m gonna really listen and do everything Stinker does
Also me: Yeah nah

What is the fun in that? It looks like a lovely fun day in the garden. It will warm up here soon. Can hardly wait!


Thanks T. for asking me to grow with you. Happy grows

Hello!

The tent was flipped a couple days ago. Now I am patiently waiting for some stretch before doing any defoliating.

I think it’s fantastic that you have so many seeds, so you can pack your tent full of so many choices.

I do love a good canopy.

I’ve been in the garden most of the day. It’s been lovely.

I am going to do one thing, that you are doing, and that’s flip sooner going forward. I see now I wait too long to flip. I’m nervous about flipping Pink so early, but I’m going to throw caution to the wind. Izzy could 100% be flipped. She is just lovely.

Thanks T. for asking me to grow with you. Happy grows

No thank you, la Rue. I still can’t believe I have so many Barney’s Farm seeds! I really can’t.

The generosity I have been showered with since joining this place is just amazing. From sponsors asking me to test lights to, 420 sending me a surprise gift pack, to you guys sharing your seeds, your time and your experience with me., I’m just showered in nice. I really am surrounded by the best tribe of growers, and I’m so very grateful to each and every one of you who follow along. Xo

 

[Trala]

Bedtime and yet another change around to fit everyone in.

Pink has almost forgiven me for the uppot lol.

Hello!


I think it’s fantastic that you have so many seeds, so you can pack your tent full of so many choices.

Its cool being sponsored by a seed Co. Not complaining, but sometimes I see things - things I want to try.

Starting all at the same time is best for me. A Grow! I can then take a break if wanted.
At a minimum the tent thins out at the end. How many do you have going now? Care pack soon!

 

[Greenvein]

Beautiful! The appreciation & honour from both parties then the gardens also beautiful LOL not sure if it's the colab or the smoke it's a deep day
Them roots I'm not sure why I haven't seen Trala n photo of the month every pic has character.
Anyhoo I too am looking forward to the results from early flip as I flip once I've grown a jungle

It’s a great position to be in, that’s for sure.

Thanks to my choof choof son, I need to perpetually grow. He and his girl smoke a half a week. It’s win win really, because as it turns out, I love growing.

At a minimum the tent thins out at the end. How many do you have going now? Care pack soon!

I have 6 definites (not counting Pee who I will finish harvesting today), one sleeping seed and two clones who haven’t struck yet, I count them once I see new growth.

1. MiMi Bee a Mimosa Evo clone
2. Eva Bee a Wedding Cake Auto, who has 2 weeks left
3. Snow Bee a Bubba Kush
4. Isabella Bee an Amnesia Lemon
5. Pink Bee our
6. Autumn Bee a Wookiee F2 Auto

 

[ThirdUncle]

[Trala]

Omg I forgot to tell you!

I flipped Sunday! Fun fact, everytime I flip I sing this to my plant!

Flippity Dooo Dah, Flippity Aye!
My oh my you gonna flower for me.
Plenty of sunshine, coming your way
Flippity Dooo Dah, Flippity Aye!

TBH given my history of fucking flower, I prolly need to stop. Lolll

This was Sunday.

And this was waking up yesterday. There are 4 in there. And she’s second in.

Hi Team TropicanNa!

Omg I’m so in love with Wednesday! I had such a good day. Started the day with a pedi, and it’s just gone uphill from there!

So no disasters. She’s a bit light for my liking. I can’t decide if it’s just her skin colour or if she’s a bit anaemic. Unlike her sister to a different mister she’s a delicate little thing. I’ve put in a side by side with Isabella. There’s only two days between them. Nature is her own master.

Speaking of nature, it’s autumn here and omg, the weather is purrrrrrrrfect. Like not a cloud in the sky. 27 degrees in the sun perfect!

Poor Pink, she’s officially wider than she is tall. A woman’s nightmare! Lol

The big girls out in the sun

Trying to get a closer shot of Pink, those faux feathered freaks photobombing like yeah boiii! I had to take them out of the pool for the twin shot. They’re thirsty af. Grow apple doesn’t fall far from the tree lolling!

So that’s it for the Aussie side of the grow. Your move la Rue! And please add measurements. I swear the sun makes em taller.

Thanks for growing with us! You guys make this so. much. better. Xo

 

[stinker]

Good day! My turn. Fantastic update, beautiful girls and great weather. What more can you ask for?

Its raining here and we struggle with humidity. Its grow day 34 and 9 days since the flip to 12/12.

Betty was moved outside for pics. Flowers will show any day now. The tent is full.
Oh yeah, she is 55cm tall x 55cm wide.

I'm finding it hard to find any enthusiasm. RIP Bobby. You are missed!

Betty is just beautiful! She has the perfect shape. In fact she is the shape I was trying to accomplish lol. Mine is definitely a bit light on the green in comparison. And while mine is a shorty, our width is similar which makes me happy. Pink hasn’t got as much meat on her bones as The Betstar!

Sorry you’re grieving. Who is Bobby to you? And tell me three things you liked most about him/her.

Who is Bobby to you?

Bobby was a friend. He died a few months ago. I just recently found out.

I’m really sorry to hear that.

Pink is sending you a wave She is on the reach

 

[stinker]

Your girls are all strutting their stuff in the Bloom Room.
Betty was moved to the rear, in the center. She was hogging all the room.
I love the way they fight for the light and any open space. Betty thinks she's a Queen!
