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
I grow in promix 4times1m square SOG 16×7.5L pots per M square for years and wana down size and moove to DWC iam realy impress of your diaries the details and the precision of your coments his very learning to me.
Thank u ! Iam Frenchy from Montréal Qc Canada so excuse my language level .keep up the good work and have a good 2025 year
@Lamoureux77, Ne vous inquiétez pas mon ami..... je parle francais - et si vous avez besoin d'aide pour quoi que ce soit "DWC", n'hésitez pas à le demander...mes journaux sont ici pour référence, si vous les suivez exactement vous ferez pousser des plantes plus grosses que le Fairmont Le Château Frontenac! 😍
@Herbie101, thanks Herb! This one will be really great. Ive grown her before, have the diary on here, but she had a rough start when I went to France for the first 11 days away from her. She bounced back to be super strong... The Sour Jealousy I just grew by Fast Buds is the best Auto Ive ever had, but the Bruce for reference is based off of my old grow. Now is time to use all the knowledge learned since then and grow the 2nd Bruce, which I think could beat the Sour Jealousy, time will tell! 😍😍😍
@DeepWaterGrower, I gave her too much calcium using the new TA Calcium Magnesium. The older GHE Cali Magic was a bit nicer to work with, the new Cal Mag from TA is too strong, I could tell in my last grow a little in the beginning. Bruce is looking very good now that I split the nutrients back to 1/2
@Tropicannibis_Todd, Thanks Todd, im blasting Bruce on the front end with the organic/mineralized combo to test the Bruce genetics.. ive been told Bruce is one of the most resilient strains, and from past experience it holds true.
@Qutro, this one will be fun! I grew it a few years ago, and it was unreal, however my first grow she had a rough start due to me having to travel a bit. This time Im locked into this grow, and will make it a complete monster. No holding back on this one, from seed she gets 350ppm nutrients. Bruce was the best auto ive grown until I grew this latest Sour Jealousy which is an absolute facemelter.. now that I am growing Bruce again, Bruce may beat the Sour Jealousy, time will tell for sure. I am hoping that Bruce will be on point with Sour Jealousy, because that will be my rotation for a while moving forward, those 2 strains.
