saw the long brown part of the cigar leaf of your fhia-18 and it looked kinda like a hose. looked like if you could hooked up an iv bag to it...………….. well I felt like being a bit obnoxious. thinking dr. Jekyll and mr. hyde. or should we say dr. Melendez and mr. banana

now you can tell your son your a dr.

guess I just finished the longest page in banana.org history

*****Patupi/Kokopo/Vudu Papua Update!*****




Patupi has been growing nicely!....Has been mentioned in the forum before, Patupi doesn't like to be wet at all!....Seems that Patupi prefer soil on the drier side!....I used pool filter silica coarse sand when Patupi was transplanted to the ground, as the rest of my Nanas!.....Patupi is approx. 5 ft. tall right now!.....

Thank you Ante!


It's not vermiculite!....It's a potting mix that controls the moisture for seedlings....I just added perlite to the potting mix!.....

Woooooohoooooo looking so good my bro! Your doing such an awesome job! All your plants are looking amazing!

My Vunamami is about a foot tall now! Growing great! I will try to put a pic of it on my Flickr. Nick is a master at TCing plants! Anytime he offers any for sale, get them!! I’m hoping I can continue to keep my Vun alive! I’m excited to see how it does! I have heard bad results from many guys growing it and how hard it is to grow. It is for sure different!

Amazing job my bro! Amazing French Red! You know it’s one of my favorites!!!
Keep up the good work!
