This is a bit goofy... I can't figure out whether this lady is in flower or not... she's not given me the typical indication - but damn, the second photo here sure looks like she's putting out flowers... If you've got an opinion, please let me know in the comments! Increased her EC to .8 today although I think it should be 1.0 - I'm just a little leery of feeding her too much given her history. I'll leave this be for a couple of days and if there's no adverse reaction, I'll increase it again. I'm on pins and needles with her... but #2 is REALLY benefiting from all my trials with this one... at least SHE will be a good grow even if this one isn't. 10/13 - she didn't react well at all to the increased EC so I had to take it back down. I just don't know what to do for this lady - she's bunching up at the top, pre-flower or flowers everywhere but all jammed together.... want to get her stretching but she won't take more nutes... raised the lights... no effect. Sigh. I'll keep trying! 10/14 - started opening up a bit, which is a good sign. Have decided she's in pre-flower, not flower... really a late one on this score... wondering if #2 will be as late in her development... we shall see! Added some Terpinator to the reservoir today... should have started it earlier but that only speaks to the level of gloom I had about her in general... 10/15 - moved her into the tent by herself today as #2 was needing a lot more space - her leaves had been bumping up against the side of the closet and clearly was saying "move out of my way!" ... This lady will be happy in the tent... I've done a lot of LST on her to open her up and get her to grow outwards and I think her overall shape is more condusive to growing in the tent whereas #2 will be able to fill out the closet beautifully. I MAY try ponytailing her as well but the time for that may have passed... still, going to consider it. Going easy on the FloraMicro and only using 1/2 strength of what is recommended as it has a ton of nitrogen in it and that always makes me very nervous as plants go into flower... Decided against ponytailing... she's just about in flower now... did some defoliation and more LST today and bumped her EC to 0.9... She's looking quite happy! Amazing... 10/16 - looked quite bad this morning... leaves curled down, pretty unhappy... Was going to change out the reservoir until I had to go to the ER and didn't get back for 6 hours.. and by the time I was back, she was all happy again. Weird lady... 10/17 - Still a happy camper today.... EC and pH holding steady... did some leaf-tucking to get the bud sites more light but still no sign of actual flowers.... so the wait continues.

Need to pick the brains of some DWC types... This lady has just had a precipitous drop in her pH... from 6.4 to 5.9 overnight. Same thing happened with my other Bruce (happened twice to her)... EC has remained stable... what would cause this... anybody have any idea?

The ph is greatly affected by the nutrition level in all growing mediums. Too much and ph drops down. Too little ph goes up. In your case it looks like she is shifting to bulking. So her diet is changing plus there is a connection to the culture in the roots. Same with growing in coco.

Very nice GG. Doing that without a pen, is mind blowing for as long as you did, you are right. She's at to picking up, as if she was still sickly you'd not of gotten that fast growth, 'as u pointed it out" . I went thru 3 PH pens before I found a good 1. Milwaukee PH55 &EC60 PRO, and anything with a diode, if you get a storage solution your pen will last so much longer. As I went through 2 pens before I got a storage solution to keep the diode in when not using, (but them pens where the -20e cheapos so the storage solution cost more. They are a bit expensive but a bottle last long 15e for 200ml i think, unless you are like me, 'I knock my pen over and it spills from the cap all the time' on my 2nd bottle now. ๐Ÿคฃ anyways, enjoy the rest of her, I don't think you need to worry about her not making it through. I put my DWCs thru an awful life, yours look WAY better than mine. Enjoy it, you'll learn a lot either way. It's not my style of growing, but the results when you do it right are great. The bud has so much more resin. And overall much nicer bud. Great job, keep it up.

@DutchDoobie, awh, and there he is. True colors always shine brightest when it comes from a POS like you. "I couldn't be a bigger A-hole if I tried", so, you win 1st place for that. And last for your grammar, oh, that's right, you probably aren't past 5th grade yet, so maybe they'll teach you how to use "..." next grade. DutchDummie

Looks like early flower to me. That's what my Bruce Banner did in week 4/5. Others had pistils shooting out everywhere but she was a slower maturing plant between the 3 strains.
SwissKush

@GrowingGrannie, she is showing her sex at the moment. GHE 'preflowering' stage will come in a week or so, you will know it by the pistils from the flower sites you're used to from your other awesome plants. You remember my Bruce, it was super slow to mature!! Bruce is looking great! Bruce 2, wow! ๐Ÿ˜
GrowingGrannie
GrowingGrannie
@Enemy61390, thanks! It's been really confusing for me because I've not really been able to see the white pistils that I normally see ... but there ARE white areas... I don't know... she's just been confusing for me from the get-go... most of the confusion stemming from not knowing what the hell I'm doing... And then I've also thought that she's very VERY slow to go into flower... I'm used to seeing pre-flower pistils in week 3 or 4 and flowering a week later... So thank you for your judgement here, AND for telling me you found the strain to be slower maturing... gives me great hope!

@GrowingGrannie, ya know, I was of the same volition on my strawberry banana, but if you go check her out now...yeah she's small (stunted), but she's leading the pack in trich production. Won't be a big yielder for sure but quality smoke nonetheless. If she takes a little longer to flower, might not be so bad. More recovery time IMO. Just a thought. Good luck either way!
GrowingGrannie
GrowingGrannie
@Enemy61390, well, I wouldn't say the recovery went well quite yet... she's really late, imho, on setting flowers... so I could have screwed her up and she'll never produce anything for me... going to give her one more week and then that'll be it....

@GrowingGrannie, what do you think about the taste of dwc compared to soil when smoked in a bong or joint?
GrowingGrannie
GrowingGrannie
@Ganjafreedombr, Thank you! Let me tell you what I love about DWC so far.. it's SO easy to adjust the pH or the EC every single day.... if you see a toxicity or deficiency starting to appear (I haven't YET...), it's super simple to adjust that immediately... no waiting to see if your efforts to resolve an issue like that when you grow in soil... I will seriously NEVER grow in soil again! I've got one soil grow still going and I can't wait for it to be done as I want to start more DWC!

Go on with 1/4 dose for 2-3 days and if you see your EC drops, you should be happy. Go easy and see how she respons

@DeepWaterGrower, this Bruce is one to see man, her 200w light is a nice one. Im rooting for @GrowingGrannie to get the highest g/watt and g/plant for this strain. I think she will set the bar for @Fast_buds Bruce Banner, which in my opinion is one of the hardest hitting autoflowers Ive ever grown. Good luck @GrowingGrannie we are all here in your corner, ready to see these 2 HULKS!
