This week was all about daily feeding + LST.
As you can see the main stem is tied down and there are a number of offshoots that have reached about the same height as what will eventually become the main cola.
Ideally I'll wind up with a relatively even canopy as with my last plant.
This Hellbender Auto is growing quickly at this point.
It is not as leafy so far as my last two plants and I kind of hope it stays that way.
Some of the older leaves show signs of nute deficiency but that has been par for the course for me these last two grows, the newer leaves end up looking fine as the plant gets bigger and as I said this plant is still growing "like a weed", so I'm not worried about it yet.
Will just keep doing what I'm doing and hope for the best!
3rd time is apparently the charm! So, I'm sure you and and your little ones will do great!
Sending the best of vibes to you, your plant/s, and your mutual growth together! Good luck! 🌱
@@CheefDunnoNothin,
Okay cool. I just ordered the entire line of the first authentic Banner autos from the original breeder. Very excited to get em going.
@HashCakes, I prefer to vape so as taste goes I don't have much input.
A friend of mine that smokes everyday doesn't care for Hellbender because he believes it makes him feel very "dumb" the next day - he has stopped smoking it in favor of Bruce Banner (which is why my current grow is a Bruce Auto).
Another one that smokes everyday likes Hellbender a lot but stops short of raving about it & says he uses it to supplement some other bud that he prefers in order to make it "go further".
My own experience is no paranoia, no anxiety, no couch lock, no munchies, and no other obvious negative side effects (not any dumber than normal the next day!). For me it is just a nice mellow middle-of-the-road "high" feeling that stops short of being anything special or particularly memorable.
My overwhelming urge is to call it "vanilla".
It might be reasonable for people who are relatively new to cannabis to try a strain like this. I'm not sure what flavor/feel you're looking to achieve with your own grow but as you know phenotypes and growing conditions can make for some wild differences within the same strain so I hope it goes well for you!
Try hellbender in 3 gallon pots in a 3x3 =9 pots or optimal 5x5. They love growing in a sog and trellis if you have room to maneuver. I've grown a few strains. Bessie cake is my fave hands down
