So we got another FastBuds sponsored run an this time I got the Bruce Banner auto. So far all the seeds I got this time have popped up an doing a very gud job. I got her in a 10 gallon pot of doc buds highbrix LOS mix. As of right now they are just getting plain RO water with jus a tad of tea added to it. They will get this mix till they grow up alil an start throwing out more full leaves or once they hit about 4 to 5 nodes whatever one comes first. Then ill start doing the full veg drenches of the transplant and the growth drench. But for now they get jus water cause the soil has everything they need to keep them going strong for a nice long while. So no need to waste the nutes wen the plants look jus as gud if u dnt use as much so why not save alil cash lol.

So did alil bit of lst an took some of the very bottom little branches off but other then tht i jus pretty much letn her do her thing. These are some great genetics here she is doing great. Im giving the drenches about every 3 to 5 days or so as they fully dry out. I really cant wait to see the Brucy here hit flower. If she doing this great in veg I cant wait to see her then.

So this week the girls are taking off an started pre flower. They sure got some nice budsites starting to form. For this round of girls im guna wait to do the cationic drench till they are in flower for alil bit. The previous grows I wud always do it right after flower started. Im guna see if waiting alil bit will allow the buds to get bigger an form more solid buds an not as wispy as some of my girls from my previous grow. Altho those were completely different cultivars then what im working with now. So we will see how they do in flower but so far they have been growing like gold in veg. I jus hope they continue growing strong all the way threw flower.

So we are definitely into flower now. An when I was training one of the branches I accidentally Supercropped her. So I just went ahead an did it to all the rest so that way she wud have the best chance at maintaining an even canopy. Ill have to make sure I don't forget to do some lollipop training on this girl lol. Its crazy how big her growth spurts are. Every time I give her a watering she gets a huge growth spurt an jumps up in growth. Then slows down after about a day n I give her another feeding an bam all over again lol. Im in hopes that I can get her to continue with that an jus turn into a beast. Im very excited to try her out after a nice gud cure cause ive never had a plant that reeks so dam much even as a baby lol. Out of all the time I spend in my garden I've never once came across a plant that throws out so much stink even in veg lol. Ive had plants that have a slight smell in veg b4 but never like this lol. Its nuts every time I go to the garden as soon as I get close to the doorway all u smell is like this sweet kinda sumthn mixxed with like a gasoline type smell. Idk what exactly it is but holy Jesus does it smell just DANK haha. So if she smells this strong now I cant imagine in like 2 weeks good God the whole dam County is guna reek lmao hahaha.

So everything has jus been pretty much on autopilot the whole grow so far lmao. N believe me its a welcomed change lol. I did some lollipop training on her as well. This is the one out of all my girls in the garden that I am the most excited about. Ive seen some others tht grew this cultivar an they jus turned out to be some beasts come harvest time. Now this being the first time I've ever ran this cultivar Idk how exactly they grow. So I cud be thinking they are slightly stunted cause they are so small wen they hit flower. But then all of a sudden BOOM they jus explode growth in flower n end with a huge yield. Or could be that she is slightly stunted nshe jus wont yield much. Im not sure about this one so I jus let them all keep going an ill get the most I can from her.

Ok so I jus decided to start pulling all the girls out for each cultivar while I take pics so that way it will be easier to see. So I did some lst to open up the girls alil more cause these one make some gigantic ass leaves lol. I cant believe how big some of them are getting lol. Im am definitely guna be running a few of these cultivars I ran recently again once my new lights arrive. Im getting some of these newer Quantum board led lights. These ones have alil xtra deep red added to them. An they say ur plants will end up even bigger an frostier then they wuda b4. An I remember with my old cob light setup I had back in the day I had it setup with alil xtra deep red added in. An my plants jus got insanely frosty under tht light. So im pretty excited to get these 2 new QB lights they are 480W for for 256$ usd an says it covers a 4x4 so I figure it will actually cover like a smidge under 3x3. Plus it comes with a rj45 dimmer box that will allow me to dim all my lights at the same time when i daisy chain multiple lights 2gethet. Versus a potentiometer only does one light at a time. But still the girls are looking great under the qb lights I got so far I jus need more lol.

So this week we we moved the girls around some. I now got 2 of these girls under my 300w light an one still under the 450w. With this round of girls i took off all the lower branches tht were making jus wispy lil buds an jus kept the tops. An now they are starting to thicken up so thats good. An man are they jus some greasy gas monsters or what lol. They are so sticky its crazy an if u even nick one of the buds the whole garage jus fills up with a stinky gas berry smell with a hint of sumthing sweet on the end. I cant quite place it but it jus reeks of deliciousness lol. I cant wait to harvest this round of girls lol.

So this week I gave the girls a lil bit of a flush if sorts jus to fully hydrate the soil an gave alil tea included in the plain ro water to give the micro heard alil boost as well. I moved the girls to under the 450w XW light (the big square one) instead of the 300w XL one (which is the long straight kinda board.)

Ok so this week I gave the girls a growth drench. An as long as things go like im planning then ill be taking the girls down 2morow or the next day. Im starting to make sure to always harvest on a Growth D. Versus a Transplant D. Cause it makes for a sweeter tasting product. So the Growth D. Enhances the sweetness of ur buds. So whatever flavor the cultivar ur growing has the Growth D. Makes it more intense. The flavor atleast it is for me an every1 I let try my smoke says it jus tastes amazing. So im starting to tweek the feeding schedules an whatnot to see if I can push my girls any farther n boost yields enhace/alter flavors any and all of that lol. Im trying to find any little tweak I can do to make any parts of these plants better. For instance the harvesting on a growth drench to make for a sweeter tasting smoke. Things like that is what im looking for so I can achieve the best quality harvests that I can. Now I know its alil late to just start doing this but im planning to start putting down exactly what I do for a feeding schedule. In case any one would want to try out Doc Buds Highbrix organic kit for themselves. Its the easiest LOS mix ive ever done an it produces the best product I've ever had nothing tastes better then some highbrix organic buds. Every one I get buds 2 in my neck of the woods lmao say nuthing tastes better n its super potent. So highbrix is the way to go man an this setup is so dam simple its like what the hell was I thinking all these years wasting tons of money on different nute bottles when all ur paying for is like 80% freaking water lmao. Plus then u got like a 20 fukn bottles an cost like 25 bux a piece so in the end u have to dam near give ur soul to afford all the freaking nute prices lol. An this kit u only have 4 bottles! A transplant drench, Growth drench and one tht says tea. Then there is a cationic drench tht is for flower but u only use tht 2 times in the plants whole life cycle. So ultimately u only really use transplant and growth drenches with jus alil tea added in with each drench. An u jus switch back an forth each feeding. Plus you can recook this soil after each harvest and reuse it an each time ur plants get better and better. Transplant D. 15 ML per 1 gallon of RO water. Growth D. 15 ML per 1 gallon of RO water. TEA 3 ML per 5 GALLONS of RO water. (DURING FLOWER/BLOOM STAGE ONLY ONCE THE BUDS ARE SET) Cationic D. 15 ML per 1 gallon of RO water.

Ok so decided to let them go one more week lol. There were like a third of the colas that had fresh new pistals still popping up quite a bit. So figured id let them go alil longer an see if I cant push her jus alil more lol. So far even tho some of them are showing Ruderalis traits they are some of the frostiest plants ive had in awhile so not a complete loss. And the one girl is getting some fat ass colas so definitely guna have some smokeable buds and some for a concentrate run. So ill get the best of both worlds which is jus fine with me lol. Altho I definitely wouldn't have minded if all the girls came out fat ass buds but u can't win em all lol. But still over all the girls are doing great an jus loaded with resin. The oil glands are just bursting full haha.

So this isn't that bad of a strain. At first had a few kinda throwing out Ruderalis traits alil bit during the middle of flower but then filled out really nice after I did alil more lollipop training. But once that was done they turned out pretty nice. The one girl tho she turned out to be jus dense as all hell. So I know this cultivar has more potential hidden away in side there. I jus didn't get the best beans this round. But they ALL are so dam resinous that I know they are guna be super potent. So Im definitely guna run this cultivar again sometime down the line.
