She seems to be doing well. Her buds get fatter and more smelly each day.
Weather turned a bit cooler. Temps in the day are mid 70s to mid 60s. Nights are in the high 40s mid to upper 50s.
So nights would be cold for her. Plus she was getting severe mornings dew. So I bring her in the the garage at night.
The temperature in the garage is 70. So she is going to have a warmer night than day. This goes against nature. For some reason I think she will like it.
Today I took off all of her LST ropes. My thinking is, she may see the tension as weight. Probably should have taken them off sooner.
Bruce Banner strain is a 9 or 10 week flower strain. So I figure she is about half way through flower. Day 100.
She has a lot of lower leaves yellowing and falling off. The yellow is starting to move up the branches.
This plant is almost all tops. Most coloas are top and 2 nodes under it. There are a few that have 4 or 5 nodes under the top, but they get the light for it.
This strain requires a lot of food. This I read from a lot of reviews on the strain. I should have read up the Bruce Banner strain much earlier. Although I think I did a great job with her, considering this was my first serious grow.
I did some gorilla growing in my younger days. However I had no idea what I was doing. I use to plant them, give them some water. Then in a few weeks top them and check on them every few days to few weeks. If they were lucky they got some Miracle-Gro. There was not a lot of information on how to grow. I was harvesting way too early.
9/23 1 gallon of water PH 6.2. It's not as hot, so I don't think she needs 2 gallons everyday anymore. Day 100
9/24 Fed 4 tablespoons Foxfarm Big Bloom, 12 ml Foxfarm Tiger Bloom, half a teaspoon Foxfarm Beasti Bloom, 2 tablespoons of Foxfarm Kelp me Kelp you, per 2 gallons of 6.4 PH water. Day 101
9/25 Cloudy day, no need for food or water. Day 102
9/27 Sunny. Made a tea worm castings, poop, some powder baby food and black strap molasses. Also 24 MLs Foxfarm Tiger Bloom, per two gallons. Day 103.
Day 103 I see her first orange hairs, just a few. She smells great. She is making some beautiful buds. Very exciting time, she is getting close.
She is a short plant, if she were in the ground, she would be about 3 feet tall. She is about 3 and 1/2 feet wide. I had her tied down most of her life.
My goal was to keep her as short as I could. I prefer the neighbors not see her.
This grow was by design, I wanted her to have as many tops as possible. I bent her branches and did not let them grow straight up. Not sure if I would get more or less if i let the plant grow up. She sure is going to give me many top buds.
Either way Im going to have very nice buds. So if there is a weight difference in growing styles I have no way of knowing, until this plant finishes and I grow another style.
The weight does not really matter. This will be more bud than I need, for a while.
When u tie down the stems it's better to tie them up I think.this beautiful lady gonna get heavy..I just did it last week but think it's better to have it done few weeks ago,I broke main stem..
Good luck growing
