Default Re: Timeline of Fruiting for Each Strain of Banana

40 gallon pot -- "squat" shaped each.
1900 gross Watts equivalent of T5 lights per plant, distributed in multiple fixtures.
1 lb net Nitrogen, 1/4 lb net phosphate, and 1.5 lb net potash per plant per year, divided up into monthly doses and attenuated for younger plants, plus micronutrients. The most cost effective way to achieve this is with a commercial water-soluble product. Small doses of Seaweed extract will help root development in young plants.
Humidity not to exceed 75% unless you are willing to have serious countermeasures for fungi.
Temperature range of 75 F to 85 F year round.
Non-alkaline water.
