Oh my frosty, FROSTY lady! I've never seen even the fan leaves covered with trichomes but she's only got maybe 3 or 4 leaves that DON'T have trichs on them... Just incredible! Her pistils are just starting to brown so I'm think another 2-3 weeks and I can harvest this darling... definitely going to have to save all the trim - and I mean ALL the trim... put it to use in some edibles... 11/16 - The next improvement in cameras, imho, needs to be the ability to capture smells... This lady is SO sweet smelling, SO lovely - I wish I could share it with all of you! She's doing extraordinarily well, EC and pH nice and stable... no need of any adjustments today, happily! 11/17 - Just bumbling along, nice and stable EC and pH... but showing a few signs of additional magnesium deficiency so I'll change out the reservoir and add a bit more calmag to the mix. Looked at the trichs this morning for the first time with a loupe - they're still all clear so she still has some bulking up to do which I'm very happy about... 11/20 - I think I should have given this one more haircuts along the way - perhaps the buds would be larger - but I just couldn't find it in myself to do that... not with all those luscious trichs all over the place... I think I'm more in love with THEM than anything else! I know people will tell me I could have been trimming them and making some edibles... but my "thing" is just to grow... and with this wee one, I'd hurt her so much in the early days, I didn't want to nip at her when she's looking so gorgeous... She's chugging right along... EC and pH are incredibly stable, she's drinking a ton - almost a gallon a day - I've bumped up the EC to 1.3 and she's liking it... at least she's not complaining!

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. 🀣 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
SwissKushcommented2 years ago
@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! 😍
GrowingGrannie
GrowingGranniecommented2 years ago
@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!

Enemy61390
Enemy61390commented2 years ago
@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
GrowingGranniecommented2 years ago
@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
GrowingGranniecommented2 years ago
@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!
