Default Re: SoCal grown Bananas: tastes & maturation times

2 weeks of similar temps in 80's should result in similar root growth.

Good healthy roots will increase the plants growth rate.

Grow More "Stimulant"

This pup was planted in a pot of river sand (a.k.a. clean course sand) and after 14 days it shows good root development. Only water was added as needed, no fertilizer, no growth hormones, no magic. Roots need the proper amount of air & moisture to maximize growth. When these roots reach an area high in organics the above ground growth takes off. .


Now some folks will point to my climate in the tropics as the reason for the quality roots and that 14 days of temps in the 80's is rare in the States or wherever.
