You know, I have nothing but admiration for this strain from @Fastbuds... seriously. What a gigantic mess I made of her - and she seems to be sticking her tongue out at me and saying "You. Can't. Defeat. Me." ... Gotta love that attitude! Starting to have a few problems with the pH - it keeps going down. This morning it was at 5.7 which is much lower than I want it - and her EC had gone up to 1.5. She'd also gone through about a gallon of water so I simply gave her a gallon of my tap water... which fixed both measurements since my tap water is really high and basically contains nothing... we'll see how things pan out in the next couple of days... if the EC continues to rise, she's leaching nutes and I'll have to adjust even further... 11/24 - Well, Thanksgiving intervened in my daily record keeping (which wasn't very "daily" any more! LOL!)... I changed out her bucket yesterday and ramped up the EC as well as the pH and this morning she was happy as a clam. EC stable, pH stable... can't ask for better than that! And while I was at it, I decided that it really WAS time for a haircut so she got scalped... I took off a ton of fan leaves from all over and it's really opened up the middle so air flow is vastly improved - and the lower sections of each bud site can now get good light and the stacking out to proceed in earnest... I had resisted for so long because I just thought she was gorgeous and wanted to please my eyes rather than please her... my bad... My buddy and I have a bet as to how much will come from her... I'm saying about 1oz (I really need to be punished for what I did to her!) but he thinks it will be more like 2... I can't see that myself. Think I still have another 3 weeks with her at least so maybe she'll fatten up beyond my wildest expectations... 11/28 - She's enjoyed her haircut... didn't react at all and the buds are fattening up nicely. I STILL think she has a ways to go, though.

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
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! ๐Ÿ˜
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!

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!

@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!
