Re: OFA Short Course, Siam Ruby
Unless i missed the thread iv red repeatedly from other members here on the Org that to date now ones had the Siam Ruby fruit i cant member who said it but i think that 4ft is been the tallest that any one has gotten to my Siam is about 2ft tall and is about 6 months old it needs allot of light but so far my SR doesn't like allot of direct sun light but as i live in the high desert of NV sunset zone 12 are Ultraviolet light is high on a good day so most bananas burn easily also it dose aper to not have a large canopy of leafs maybe another indicator of why they don't fruit easily this is all speculation on my part Gab would you care to comment on any of this? this is a Reference to another thread on growing under lights but i have the SR under a predominantly red spectrum light and its not growing all that fast I'm going to move it under blue light soon and see if it responds like my green leafed guys do the more i study this light thing the more iv come to realize that its the single most important component of successful culture i fully intend to get my SR to fruit if i do all let you all know also my Plant has some unusual markings on it it has white and yellow dots that aper as the leaf ages don't know what thees are as of yet but it mite be a reason my Plant is growing so slowly. Just throw Observation i can tell they don't have a large amount of chlorophyll however the blue light stimulates chlorophyll development in the green Bananas so again all see if the blue light doesn't help a bit sorry if iv straide a bit off topic but i think this is relevant to this thread
