5/6 seeds were good. 1 was split, all good though. Using the RO water to germ with paper towel. Leaving in dark on the fridge for 48hrs.
Update* Day 3
All 5 seeds have opened today. 1 opened after 18hrs but hasn’t really grown since. Most likely stick in planters tomorrow. Will update with pics.
Update* day 4
Once the tap root grabs hold I will start with bio root. Everything got put into solo cups today and into a closet temporarily.
This is day 7. Will keep you updated throughout the week. 5/5 sprouted healthy. I’ve started my nutes regimen from GH website for a light feeding schedule. Using my bar light for a few days and then switching over to the 300 v3. Didn’t see the need to use it just yet. So far all 5 right from germ have been keeping up with each other! Very impressed so far Blimburn :)
Day 12 update. Noticeable growth, using the electric sky v3 now. Got the lights dialed in perfectly. Was pretty close to manufactures settings. Not very thirsty yet. So far good structure, no stretching.. all in all I’m pretty happy this far.. cheers and thanks for following
Update1: added some pics.. very tired tonight will fill more in tmrw on the week.
Was a great week, got the ladies moved into their home. Tent is set up perfect and working great. These girls have been handling the nutes like a champ so I’ve increased their dosage to a medium feed schedule. The *Miicrobial Mass is a one time feeding every two weeks*. On top of the root feeding I did a 1.25 ml/l foliar feeding with the ChitoSal.
Saw some roots leaving the cups so could be transplanting sooner than expected!
Not satisfied at all! I stunted the growth with the ChitoSal by using it so soon.. completely my fault for not reading the bottle properly. Oh well shhhh happens. In the last 7 days they have filled the 5ga pots and I’ve noticed roots at the bottom already, which I’m very happy about. I also took my first attempt at fimming. I have always topped but I would like to try for more colas with the BB3 while maintaining a level canopy. I’m having to catch this diary up as I had some family things I need to tend to. Thanks for stopping by!
Update: stepping up the nutes this week. Especially the nitrogen. They seem to really like high dose of it. Other than that everything seems to be going good. Thanks for stopping by.
Well still can’t tell if i fimmed properly.. but that’s ok.. they are finally done the stress of the ChitoSal and transplant and fim lol.. im noticing pretty good growth daily now. Will continue with LST to keep canopy as level as possible. Will be giving another shot of Miicrobial Mass this week with the feeding.
Update day 33: added a few pics of the spread and LST I’ve done. ;)
Update day 32: gave a reg feeding with a bit extra nitrogen, no Miicrobial Mass, but mixed in 10ml of blackstrap molasses.
Now that the girls are finally rebounding nicely I’ve turned the light up. 500 ppfd with an average of 34DLI. Also was working my way up to 1.01kpa VPD. See how this week goes and decide if I do another week of veg or not. I’ve added some pic from my photone app to show how I set my light. The pics tell which plant it refers to for DLI.
Well since my last post it’s been a bit of a rough go, what I thought was a nitrogen deficiency turned out to be a cal mag deficiency. So I lost a week. I have not added that week but I will post a pic. I know nitrogen is a mobile nutrient but with the research of the Bruce Banner I was told the green comes from it’s need for nitro. So going ahead anyone reading this growing Bruce Banner #3 I would suggest doubling your CalMag before adjusting nitrogen if your seeing yellowing of your leaves. I will be flipping within 2-3 days
Well here we are into flower. So far so good, zero stress off the flip. Noticed huge growth in such a short amount of time. I definitely have the canopy I want and there’s a ton of bud sites! Fingers crossed for them super thick buds!
The past week has gone great! The girls have been growing like crazy. Very happy with my canopy and it’s looking like I’m going to get my final desired height with plenty of bud sites. My last feeding was just water, Miicrobial Mass, blackstrap molasses, and CalMag. Next feed will be back on full nutes. Thanks for following growmies!! 🤘🏻
Everything is growing great! Perfect size for my space and excellent canopy management. Looking forward to the rest of the flower phase. I do wish I was running Co2 though, my light has far more power than expected. Not a bad thing ;)
Only pics I have are from day 27 this week. Bruce Banner is doing great! Super frosty and super dense. The smell is incredibly sweet with hints of gas. These girls are absolutely loving the nute schedule as well! Thanks for stopping by.. cheers canna fam!!
Day 35 update: the week went great.. unfortunately the girls are showing signs of nute burn from the week before and that’s totally my fault. Got Covid and was very sloppy with my mixing. I don’t think yield was affected thanks to the ChitoSal. The smell of these girls is phenomenal!!! I can’t wait to smoke this flower!!!
Still early in the week but everything is great. I’m really loving the frost off this Bruce Banner. I’m doing 1 feed and then 1 ph water routine and will keep that all the way through flower.
Well should notice the bud really thicken up and ripen this week. This is my last feed of nutes as I’m seeing a 30% coverage in orange hairs now.. Im guess maybe 18-21 days left. Will be keeping an eye out on trichome development. Will just run ph water from here on out.
Have no idea how this happened but I’m only on day 45 of flower and I took a sample to see trichome I have about 80% of them cloudy already. The hairs are about 60% brown now as well. I’ve decided to start flush and see how they finish. I doubt I’ll get two more weeks but we shall see. I’m just flushing with ph water.
Pretty satisfied with this week as it was a very easy one. Not too hard to just balance some h2o and give the girls a drink. I’ve noticed they are slowing down a little bit on water though. Still about 80% trichomes are cloudy. About 40-50% of the hairs have gone brown. I gotta say these girls haven’t produced a lot of stigmas and I’m perfectly ok with that. The terpenes and THC coverage is perfect for what I’m looking for out of this strain. Think I might pay for the bud to be tested lol
These buds are very dense, hard and very sticky! I’m super excited about this grow. Wish I woulda took some clones of number 5. I gave Blimburn 8/10 because one seed was broke when I opened the pack. Kinda bummed as well that when I got these seeds they didn’t have international shipping, so I acquired them through my local hydro store, which I found out makes me ineligible for blimcoins or their offer of a free pack of seeds for doing this diary. Either way though I like grow diaries and I’m going to keep doing these for my grows. So hope to see you all on the next one ✌️🏻
I’m unable to edit watts used. I never got full power and only used 197watts peak for flower. *1.35g/watt is actual weight* 🤘🏻🇨🇦🤘🏻🍀
I don’t weigh wet buds lol so I don’t have that number. Sorry folks. 3 ounces of trim/small buds for butter. Given the smoke and how it feels I can’t wait to try some edibles. Thanks for checking this out hope to see you all on the next one.
I see you are using Miicrobial Mass also! That stuff is the jam. Cultured Biologix has some great instant teas that I've been using for 2+ years now and the Mycelium network is out of control in Coco. Good luck. Stay frosty and high! 🙏
Are you trying to fill that tent up . Cause flipping to flower even in a week is gonna leave you kind of short if that's the plan. I don't know how this strain stretches but I think you gonna have a couple main colas per plant . Maybe an Oz or 2 per plant . Just my thoughts . Check out my 4 plant king tut grow .
@Grower_Tom, well I honestly wouldn't water at a set time schedule unless it's a feeder and running for a few mins at a time . What I would do is wait till the pot is very light . Then water . The growth will blow up like that . If the soils is always damp it can hurt the root structure.
@Rodamis_Prime, oh also on the watering it’s been about every 60 hours I water them. I definitely don’t think I’ve over watered or under watered. I also never water the same time of day. I always change up the timing. But never water before they sleep ;)
@Rodamis_Prime, ya where to start haha.. I did stunt them by using ChitoSal in the first two weeks. My fault for not reading the directions properly.. I was using it to replace armorsi as they’re both silicates, but ChitoSal has something the girls didn’t like. Oh well live and learn. I did successfully fim 2/5 and then 3/5 are topped. I am going to LST a bit more now that I’ve spread them out. I had them tucked close together so I could use each plant to tuck fan leaves as a group. I will say I’ve had a bit of work with the Bruce banner and getting the nitrogen dialed in.. man they really like high doses of nitro 😅… thanks for the tips my friend.. keep in touch and ya if I have questions I’m not afraid to ask. We’re all here to learn right :)
Bruce looking ready to smash indeed! Keep up the amazing progress. Good luck stay safe happy growing cheers!!!!! If you have a moment please stop by my YOU DECIDE diary and place a vote.
