BRUCE BANNER DWC 2

Day 8 Bruce is doing very well, growing fast 600ppm nutrients, PH 6.0, lights 20/4, temps warm, all is well with Bruce Day 9 Bruce has roots in the pool, and the growth is immense the hulk will start to rise! Day 10 Bruce is doing well, growing everywhere environment is static still, no changes, all is good Day 11 You will see the large ladder roots forming in the pool Humidity dome is providing great moisture to the air around the plant No longer top watering as the roots are deep into the bottom of the pool. Day 12 Humidity dome is off, humidity in tent is 50% with humidifier running low for a bit and no vents on Bruce is growing fast, since she is a Hulk, I expect her to grow very quickly Day 13 Bruce is growing exponentially Environment remains the same, I pump up the tent with humidity close to 70% with the humidifier and let it ride for the day root system is growing huge Day 14 wrapping up the first 2 weeks, and Bruce is growing very well changed the DWC pool today for fresh, full nutrient grow blend ~850 ppm, I will update the recipe on tomorrows post for the new week Bruce continues to amaze me, last Bruce grow was great, but this one will be the best!

Day 15 Bruce is growing well, she gets full growing nutrients now, 850 ppm, fresh pool of growing nutruents Bruce has been getting nutrients since day one, full blend, and it stressed her out a little and she is growing very fast Night time can be a bit cold for Bruce and her leafs show a little, but its fine she is growing faster and larger than any plant ive grown at day 15, a real hulk Day 16 Expansion everywhere, the growth is very rapid Leafs are a little strange, but not malnourished, may be a little light stressed, or sensitive to the consistent watering of DWC. Some strains, particularly strains that in soil do not like to be over watered, tend to react a little odd starting out in DWC with symptoms of "overwatering" without any slowdown in growth.. Ive seen this many times before, Gelato, Blue Dream, West Coast OG, all strains that show some signs of overwatering early in DWC, but turn out just fine in the end as the plant grows. This one is growing much faster than many of my other strains ive grown, very interested to see this progression Day 17 massive growth, the branches are beginning to develop under the nodes Bruce is growing upward as well, we are in the full growing phase, with full nutrients Day 18 - 1-1-2024 exponential growth all over the root system on Bruce is enormous, the environment is moderate, not too hot and not too cold Day 19 Growing nicely, not much to report, Bruce seems to be doing well, over the next few weeks she will explode Day 21 Growing well, not too much to report, will likely change the DWC tomorrow

Day 22 Starting to train with a bit of Leaf Tucking The lower branches are shooting up fast, their new leafs are very healthy DWC pool change, 900ppm full growing nutrients... not sure if Bruce can take it or not, the leafs look a little "funny" Bruce is 3x the size of my previous Sour Jealousy which I ran on half nutrients due to its sensitivity Day 23 expansive growth everywhere keeping everything in the environment set static, no changes, however the leafs continue to look funny and are never really up, just always growing and going downward.. weird I will cut the nutrients in half to see if there is a change.. 450ppm, 1/2 blend in the pool. If she does not start to look more normal I will cut her and start over. Day 24 Bruce's growth is still extreme, however this is not a perky plant, she likes to stay in a ball for some reason? The leafs are healthy green, and the growth is good, but the leafs are still not looking normal.. I remember with first Bruce this was the same case removed the large mid fan leafs to allow for the branches to rise, and they are growing upward Day 25 Bruce seems to enjoy the 1/2 strength nutrients a bit more than full. It seems the new TA blend is a bit stronger then the older GHE blends. Growth all over the plant, new branches rising up, this is a very bushy plant so far Day 26 Bruce is on track. Bruce does not like too much Cal-Mag so I omitted it. I could tell by the first few fan leafs the Cal Mag may be a bit too high. The leafs grew so fast, but they were coarse like sand paper. This same thing happens with Spinach when growing. If Spinach gets too much calcium it becomes coarse and stops growing too large, this is how farmers control the crop/flavor. Same holds true for Cannabis with calcium. There is no damage to the plant, but prolonged exposure to too much calcium will stunt the growth in the long run. Glad I noticed it. Bruce is growing branches all over, this will be a large plant in a few weeks Day 27 wow, Bruce is becoming a monster, she is doing much better without the excess of calcium She is very large for only 27 days, and Bruce is continuing to grow rapidly without slowdown Day 28 Bruce is growing very large, and her leafs are looking more normal as she grows Very bushy plant, will build up a bit of moisture so I have to make sure to rustle the leafs so no moisture spots form

Day 29 Bruce is doing ok, the new growth has been very deformed and contorted underneath the plant. Even after 1/2 the nutrients, Bruce still shows signs of Nitrogen excess, i will flush her. Its my fault as I thought bruce could take the nutrients, but whoah was I wrong.. Upon reading more about the strain, its not as strong as originally expected Im going to do a massive defoliation, and change her to only water, PPM 160... im not sure if it is wind burn from the fan, or it is a nitrogen excess, a day or 2 will tell, ive moved the fan up very high I think Bruce will be fine, just a little sensitive at first, she is still so young Day 30 Bruce is doing better, looks like the fan was causing some wind burn.. my vendor shipped me the higher model profan, instead of the lower how I had ordered. Fan has been adjusted up higher and for more circulation Major defoliation, all of the lower fan leafs have been removed, along with some of the inner leafs to allow for airflow You will notice the stem on this one is massive, she still likes the 160ppm water, if she still looks well tomorrow, I will re-introduce the nutrients back into the pool Day 31 Wind burn has healed, not even noticeable, much different than if it were a nutrient problem, thos issues would not reverse. Introduced 450 ppm growing blend back into the Pool, im not sure if Bruce will like it or not, I removed all suppliments, and am only using tripart Day 32 Bruce likes the Tripart only, the Fulvic and Silicate were not added back in, and Bruce looks better than ever. When we switch her to pre-flowering nutrients next week I think im just going to use the base tripart. Day 33 Bruce has started to settle in and grow like a weed with the base tripart 1/2 blend for growing Applied light LST to two of the very large lower branches, I may have to remove one of the lower limbs if it becomes a runt over the next 2 weeks All is growing well, and 2 litres a day is being consumed from the DWC Typical Sativa genetics, likes it hot and dry for veg Day 34 Increasing bruce to the Preflowering blend, 550ppm, PH 6.0 Day 35 Bruce loved the Preflowering blend, still keeping the suppliments away, whenever I try the Silicate, her condition really decreases It looks like she likes the Tripart only!

Day 36 Bruce is growing very well. The 1/2 strength preflowering blend she really likes, every morning, she is standing tall, and about an hour before bed she is super relaxed after soaking up all the light for 20 hours. PH stays nailed at 6.0, this grow, I will gradually increase the tripart during flowering, I plan to grow a large central cola on this one Im going to get the temps higher in the tent, closer to 30 before the stretch happens, ive always seen and learned that 28-30 is where expansive vegetative growth happens, with around 50% humidity. Ive got the heat radiator on high at the moment.. these next two weeks will be the hottest 2 in the tent, then will scale back for the flowers enventually Im also changing to an 18/6 light schedule, she is very relaxed 2 hours before the lights are going off right now, I think this will help with the stretch Day 37 Extreme growth, I think the move to 18/6 is better for this strain I performed massive defoliation and lollipopping to the first 3 nodes on all side branches The overnight growth was immense, the preflower blend did not show any signs of stress to Bruce I will plan to gradually increast the PPMs very slowly as flowering progresses Day 38 Immense growth overnight, all is steady, great foliar health, the shape has returned to normal. removed two of the largest upper fan leafs, this promotes the lateral branches to also stretch in the upcoming stretch We should see this one start to stretch in about 5-7 days! What a HULK! The Root system on this one is HUGE, and I am in fear that there will be some issues, so adding in the 3% h202 into my res! Added a photo of Bruce Banner 1 at day 38, wow I have become such a better grower in 3 years! Day 39 Growing very well, adding about 3 litres into the DWC now The smell is very intense, and also hazy, which is nice! Day 40 Wow, bruce is growing to be large I expanded the branches out with the LST ties, she is enjoying the airflow for sure Keeping the same pre-flower blend for now, Bruce loves it Day 41 Bruce is growing upward. she is taller than sour jealousy, different plant all together, adding fresh water for a preflower flush Day 42 Growth everywhere, I will be giving more fresh water todqy to lower ppms before flowering nutrients go in tomorrow

Day 43 Bruce is growing well, introduced the 1/2 flowering blend into the DWC, 550ppm The bud tops are forming very well, it looks like this Bruce Banner is a different phenotype than my last one The main bud on this one is really nice looking Day 44 It looks like this Bruce is going to be a bit more compact phenotype than my last one, time to focus on light intensity to build the buds huge Lowering lamp to 60cm for a few days to see if we get a bit more upward movement, if over next 5 days still no upward growth, we will go to 40cm for flowering I was afraid of the phenotype swings I have seen with this strain, some are compact, some are large, others have no resin, and others have super resin. Very crazy strain, but the rewards are going to be really nice. Bruce is asking for cal-mag, will introduce at 0.5 ml/L Day 45 Really great growth all over, the resin on the buds is already in production very high, the smell is very strong Bruce is consuming about 3 litres a day Day 46 Buds are building, resin production is very high, and super sticky Bruce is doing well Day 47 These buds are going to be very large Bruce is drinking now 4 litres a day Day 48 Bruce is doing well, she is drinking alot, Im having to top up to keep it close to 600ppm Day 49 Bruce is doing very well, the buds are expanding and will be very large We are 2 weeks finished with flowering, will change the DWC for the base flowering nutrient without the cal-mag, she isnt telling me she needs it anymore. I margined the leafs last week in places where I saw the very first signs of magnesium deficiency, added in a touch of cal-mag, and the progression stopped, nothing past any leaf margin cuts! I will take the calmag out for now, and watch the buds swell

Day 50 Bruce is flowering well, time to just watch the buds swell Increased light to 20 hours on, more light energy for development Day 51 Flowering nicely, the buds are growing noticeably every day. Having to top up daily with nutrients to keep Bruce at 600ppm, she is eating alot Day 52 bruce's buds are swelling up big, what a nice plant Day 53 just sitting back watching the buds grow each day Day 54 Buds are growing very nicely Day 55 Buds are expanding everyday, very nice, you can see the tops becoming very puffy Day 56 Bruce asked for a little magnesium, changed the DWC, went with full flowering blend, 800ppm Will update the recipe starting tomorrow, ending a good flowering week, next week we enter fruiting, you can see the calyxes expanding on the tops Resin production is unreal for this compact pheno HULK! This plant is grown very well. You cannot beat the trichome production of a DWC

Day 57 Bruce is growing very well, her buds are very thick and resinous Keeping flowering blend in the pool for now, she is starting the fade a little bit I will remove a few of the lower leafs that are already fading Day 58 Bruce is eating and drinking alot, the smell is incredible, the resin is very sticky The fade is starting, and I will be feeding her flowering feed this week, then moving to Ripen Removed many lower coarse old leafs Lights now 24 hours to maximize terpine prroduction, over next 2 weeks we will begin to drop the temperatures in the tent settling in on around 18/19 for the final week Day 59 Buds are swelling, trichome coverage is very thick here The smell is very intense, the carbon filter is working Day 60 Drained the DWC, and introduced the full RIpening blend Ripen, 5ml/L and Pro Bloom 0.2ml/L The resin production is unreal Day 61 Buds are maturing, about 50% pistils have started to turn red Day 62 Buds are fruiting out nicely, the smell is very intense, gassy and pungent, and the buds are like rocks The stems and leafs on this plant are very hard, its unreal the stiffness of these branches, the constant LST the entire grow stresses bruce in good ways! Day 63 Unreal flowers, the resin production is next level on this one, it will take a while to dry, these buds are super rock hard dense The fade is happening really well, I may defoliate a bit next week

Day 64 Ripen blend for 3 days already, lights on 24/7, dropping temperatures this week to sub 20 The resin production is unreal on this one, the buds are so sticky like they are covered in honey The plant is fading really well, Bruce is eating itself for nitrogen! Day 65 Defoliated all of the old faded useless leafs, opening up the plant big time, you can see how thick these buds are. The top crown is very thick, she is closing out the cycle, less than 10 days left This is a real hulk! Very compact pheno, however the buds are very heavy and thick here, really nice plant The trichome production here is unreal! Day 66 all is good, buds are swelling up in fruiting, turning purple all over! The main on this one is super thick Day 67 Finishing out strong! The smell is unreal, and the resin is so nice, this will be amazing bud! Day 68 She is coming down tomorrow! Bruce is ready!
