When I used to grow bananas in containers, I would prefer just to add all nutrients up front in the form of compost mixed into the medium, this was plenty for the plants to grow and fruit, and helped to avoid this problem with excess nutrient build up.
Thanks for the info, I'll use that advice next fall when I will have to store them inside again.
