Hello everyone and welcome in this my new journey.
I have to say a big thank you to @GanjaFarmerSeeds for the partnership, I'm very happy to test this amazing strain.
The process of germination for the Bruce Banner was not clean like the Amnesia, one of the seeds in water don't show the root after 24 Hr but i tried anyway to germinate and at the end it died.
At the 23/01 I put the survivor inside the cubes of Biotabs and then the cubes insiede the soil in the hole with Mycotrex(5g/vase) of Biotabs Nutrient. I also prepared the soil watering with BioEnhancer(0.5g/L) at least 36 Hr before the transplant.
The plant sprouted the 25/01 then they went through this phase more like Hulk than Bruce 😁. It growed so strong and big, compared with the two Amnesia, there is no comparison.
Light schedule:
1 LED 200W 100% 16Hr on / 8Hr off
I watered several times during this days with a little amount, in total i gave them 950 ml per plant, i only used Bioenhancer once.

Hello mates, it's the turn of the Bruce Banner 💪. Although she was already ready I waited two weeks to switch in the vegetative stage, like the others plants in the box.
Seeing the vigor at the end of this two week of germination I topped her the first day of the week and i guided her branches with LST. She reacted very well, she rapidly distributed the energy to the secondaries branches.
She grows more fast and more big than the Amnesia strain, they have the same days of life but the Bruce covers at least the double of surface area.
Unfortunally i have some little bugs in the tent like fungus gnats or thrips so i put some traps in the vases and to prevent the attack to the plants i nebulized them only one day during the night hours with Neem's Oil and Potassium soap (10ml/L of water each).
The first day of the week i feeded this girl with 40 g of BioGrow (2 g/L of soil).
I changed the ligth schedule and i add the second Led:
2 Led 200W each dimmered at 75%
I did watering twice in this week: the first time i add Bioenhancer (0.5g/L)
0.5 L of water + bioEnhancer 0.5g/L + pH-down 4 drops/L
T 22.6°C - 167 ppm - 0.33 ms/cm - pH 6.4
0.5 L of water + 2 drops/L pH-down
T 22.6°C - 131 ppm - 0.26 ms/cm - pH 6.34
Hello mates, here the second week of vegetation.
The first day of this week the girl suffered an attack from me :) i did a big defoliation, in addition i did LST during the week. The plant reacted very well, already after four days, how you can see by the photos.
I continue during this week to nebulize those with the solution with neem's oil and potassium soap (10ml/L of water each) because i can't get rid of the thrips ( yes, unfortunally i only saw now they aren't fungus gnats) in fact I added more chromatic traps.
I did watering twice in this week:
- 0.5 L of water + 2 drops/L pH-down (x2)
T 22.6°C - 131 ppm - 0.26 ms/cm - pH 6.34
Hello mates, we reached the third week of vegetation and also the last.
At the beginnig of the week i noticed she was thirsty in fact she slowed down a little bit but during this week she reacted to the train very well . I did a defoliation and a pruning also at the end of the week to get she ready for the flowring phase.
I raised the amount of Bioenhancer to 1 g/L because they seems very hungry and also the training was hard.
I increased the led to 85% of power to reach the 100% gradually during flowering phase.
I did watering three times in this week, the first day i used Bioenhancer (1 g/L):
1 L of water + bioEnhancer 1g/L + pH-down 5 drops/L
T 21.8°C - 217 ppm - 0.43 ms/cm - pH 6.5
1 L of water + 2 drops/L pH-down (x2)
T 21.8°C - 131 ppm - 0.26 ms/cm - pH 6.3
Hello mates here we are, the much desired flowering phase :)
The plant show the signs of thirst also during this week, so the next week i will raise the watering.
During this week i did the usual defoliation with the pruning of all the parts of the plants that will hardly reach the net. I setted the net at 20 cm from the vase because the plants weren't so tall.
Despite this the vertical growing was good. Compared to the Amnesia plants I left only the bigger branches to see the differences between these different training at the harvest time.
I feeded each plant with 80g of BioBloom-Green House Feeding ( like 4g / L of soil)
I changed the ligth schedule:
I give at the plant 12Hr ON/ 12Hr OFF of light and i put the leds at the 100% of power
I did watering three times in this week, the first day i used Bioenhancer (1 g/L):
1 L of water + bioEnhancer 1g/L + pH-down 5 drops/L
T 22°C - 217 ppm - 0.43 ms/cm - pH 6.5
1 L of water + 2 drops/L pH-down (x2)
T 22°C - 131 ppm - 0.26 ms/cm - pH 6.3
Hello mates, the second week of flowering was come :)
At the beginning of the week i did the same work of defoliation and pronuning of the past week. Finally she reached the net and she looks better because i I increased the frequency of irrigation instead of every 3 days every 2.
She are growing very strong and so fast aagain now.

Hello mates, we are going inside the third week of flowering.
During this week the Bruce showed us her truly power, after i increased the amount and the frequency of watering, she has had a great vertical growth of all her branches over the net. Her buds are amazing, they was in the mature shape at the beginning of the week yet, furthermore in the middle of the week the buds filled with trichomes and the scent exploded, i feel a lot of cytric and diesel odor.
I did watering four times in this week:
1.5 L of water + 2 drops/L pH-down (x4)
T 22°C - 131 ppm - 0.26 ms/cm - pH 6.3
Hello mates, one month gone and everything is going on very well, i'm very satisfied until now 💪
This plant is so satisfaying to grow and definetly my favourite in the tent, its growth is gorgeus, the intense green of the leaves and at the end but not the least the buds, already big and full of trichomes compared to the two Amnesia.
This week i did a strong defoliation and pruning in the lower part of the plant, under the net, to have a better areation and stimulate the upper part of the plant in the second part of flowering phase.
Probably i cutted a bit too much branches in the previous weeks and now the plant is healty but i see some hole in the net that i could have cover better.
I did watering three times in this week and i increased the amount to 2 L, the first day i used Bioenhancer (1 g/L):
2 L of water + bioEnhancer 1g/L + pH-down 5 drops/L
T 22°C - 217 ppm - 0.43 ms/cm - pH 6.5
2 L of water + 2 drops/L pH-down (x2)
T 22°C - 131 ppm - 0.26 ms/cm - pH 6.3
Hello mates, we are inside the fifth week of flowering.
This girl is going on very well, she are growing with a good rate but the thing that surprise me, more than other, is the production of trichomes. Theese have covered completly the leaves near the buds and also a parts of some fan leaves.
The branches of this plant are the highest and the biggest of the tent. She has also the strongest smell now.
I did watering four times in this week, the first day i used Bioenhancer (1 g/L):
2 L of water + bioEnhancer 1g/L + pH-down 5 drops/L
T 22°C - 217 ppm - 0.43 ms/cm - pH 6.5
2 L of water + 2 drops/L pH-down (x3)
T 22°C - 131 ppm - 0.26 ms/cm - pH 6.3
Hello mates, we are inside the sixth week of flowering.
Well, what can i say? For me she is wonderful, the shape of the colour is amazing and buds so full of trichomes create the shining effect. The smell make me crazy, as intense as the smell of diesel that stays in my nose for a while but some tropical fruit flavour also comes out.
Anyway the colour i think is linked with the pH fluctuation so this is great for the eyes but not for the harvest. Infact i correct the pH of the solution because it was a little high.
I did watering three times in this week, the first day i used Bioenhancer (1 g/L):
2 L of water + bioEnhancer 1g/L + pH-down 6 drops/L
T 22°C - 217 ppm - 0.43 ms/cm - pH 6.38
2 L of water + 3 drops/L pH-down (x2)
T 22°C - 131 ppm - 0.26 ms/cm - pH 6.1
Hello mates, like in the other diary i'm sorry for taking so long, i was been in a holiday. So welcome in the seventh week of flowering.
The only thing that has changed in relation to last week is the bigger buds 😍 so i think it was good lowering the pH of the solution. The yellowing of the fan leaves is now more comprensible because we are close to the harvest. The smell now have more tropical fruit flavour combined with the diesel one.
I did watering four times in this week:
2 L of water + 3 drops/L pH-down
T 22°C - 131 ppm - 0.26 ms/cm - pH 6.1
Hello mates, this one is the last week because i check the trichomes of all the plants in the tent the first day and, how i expected, they are more or less synchronized about the trichomes maturity.
During these days i only controled the buds to avoid some mould and i gave the water only the first days of the week.
Trichome control:
Bruce: the trichomes are ambering evenly from top to bottom, the amnesia apicals are further along but overall they seem to me to be at about the same stage of maturity.
tot: 30% transparent - 65% milky - 5% amber
Hello mates, the long-awaited harvest day has come.
First of all, I would like to thank @GanjaFarmerSeeds for giving me the opportunity to grow this genetics and to have a collaboration with them.
This plant was my favourite of the cycle, she grew without too much work on the plant once topped and organized the structure. I think i toke away a bit much branches at the first phase of flowering so she don't produce the outcome I expected. Anyway I love the branches full of buds covered of trichomes with an impressive smell of citrus/tropical fruits and diesel.
I did the wet trimming and i setted the buds to dry with only the part of the branch necessary to don't touch the flower directly. I stored all the matter comes by the trimming to produce hash and DHO.
