1'st Grow // Chronic Ryder + Bruce Banner (Autoflow.)

Nickhaus420 Start Tag 1 - 08.05. High! Finally, it's starting, after having some issues with the lamp delivery, I happened to get one earlier by a lucky coincidence and can begin... 😇🙌 Since this is my first indoor grow, I wanted to try the strain Chronic Ryder in different pot sizes and have a direct comparison. The Bruce Banner gets to grow in an 8L pot, but today it's still in sleep mode. I think it will take until tomorrow for it to fully show itself. 👍 Now it's time to wait... Updates will follow! Last Update Week 1: Both plants in the 8L pot are doing great! Chronic R. in the 4L pot unfortunately didn't make it, no more leaves followed, despite waiting a week... I put it in the sanctuary (terrace), but nothing is happening so far and it will probably be disposed of.

Nickhaus420 Start week two - 15.05. Week two now starts with only two plants. After the Chronic R. in the 4L pot didn't want to grow any further, I sorted her out... However, another seed is already germinating and will follow in a few days, in an extra grow (same tent, but different documentation...) I'm incredibly excited for the next few weeks! 😇😇

Nickhaus420 Chronic Ryder is developing wonderfully! Started fertilizing today... 2ml BioGrow in 1L of water and distributed it to both plants. :) ... Update I removed the lower four leaves from Chronic R. today, she can still grow a bit taller. You can already see clear signs of the flowers... It's getting exciting! Bruce B. is also starting to really take off now, she must have been waiting for the fertilizer.. ;) Starting tomorrow, it's week 4!

Nickhaus420 There's a clear difference between the two strains. Chronic R. looks like it's developing its flower clusters and is probably entering the pre-flower stretch... Things are about to get exciting here! :) We're just giving Bruce B. the time it needs. Maybe it will even be overtaken by the two-week latecomer in the 4L pot 😋😇 Update on day 24: The Chronic will get a bloom-phase adjusted fertilizer with the next watering to support it as best as possible. I'm giving Bruce B. a bit more time; the leaves are very robust and have a nice/healthy color. ... Everything is going great!

Nickhaus420 Chronic R. is now fully entering the flowering stage! It will be exciting to see how the different growth phases harmonize with each other... But so far, I am very happy and satisfied with the results! :) Chronic R. has a new hairstyle and more space for the buds.. Bruce B. with LST and also a new hairstyle, the flowering should begin soon as well.. Here we go into week 5! Day 31 Chronic R. is smelling and blooming away, now at 64cm. Bruce B. has received a bit more LST and has a compact height of 25cm.

Nickhaus420 Pictures say more than words 😇😊 Bruce B. is growing nicely and the first signs of an upcoming bloom are visible. Pictures to follow! Chronic R. is really doing her job damn well! Day 40 After my uncertainties regarding Bruce B., calm has returned and I will just practice patience and wait one to two weeks for the bloom. Chronic R. is going full throttle, smells wonderful, and is getting nice thick buds 😇 The little Chronic R. is also growing well, but more on that in the other "thread.

Nickhaus420 All three plants are growing great and look healthy. I'm satisfied! 😇 Bruce B. is showing more and more flowering potential, I'm really excited to see what happens next... Day 47 - Chronic R. is coming into her final stages.. Soon I will flush her and then it will be time to harvest 😍 Bruce B. is making very slow progress, but she's still growing and developing more female characteristics... Let's just give her some time. 😌

Nickhaus420 Tag 49 Chronic R. gets her last feeding today, then we’ll flush and prepare everything for the harvest 😇 Bruce B. still isn’t really going into flowering... I’ll wait until the little Chronic is firmly in bloom; if nothing happens in 1-2 weeks, I’ll probably move the plant outside and make room in the tent for some “decent” strains! 😉 Currently, I’m not impressed with B-S-B-Genetics and can’t (unfortunately) recommend Bruce Banner from this breeder! Tag 54 Chronic R. is swelling nicely and has handled the flushing well... Higher we go! She smells very pleasantly fruity... I think I can see some flowering starting with Bruce B. since the light switch back to 12/12 (since Day 49), but I’m not sure... The leaves definitely smell very intense, and I would describe them as resinous/sticky...

Nickhaus420 Day 56 Chronic R. is getting a nice reddish color, still being diligently flushed and making a very good impression! Bruce B. is developing more flower clusters, I'm curious to see if more will happen now... It seems like she's responding positively to 12/12 light conditions... Let's wait and see! Day 60!! Today the big Chronic R. gets to move out, the harvest is approaching! 😎😍 To wrap up, here are a few current pictures, info about the harvest will follow later... I will create a separate diary for Bruce B. since she is now in bloom and surely more will happen. To be continued with week 10 of bloom in the new diary! 😁

Nickhaus420 Finally, the first grow has been harvested, trimmed, and safely stored. I'm very satisfied! Thus, this thread comes to a close, I'm very grateful for the super helpful community here and will definitely come back in the future. Stay high! 😇😊 Dry weight of the buds is 43g.
