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
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.
@Herbie101, Hey! on Day 38 I uploaded a comparison photo from the first Bruce grow, vs. this one, and what a difference! This strain has been a bit tricky, but I am sure I have it dialed in now, and the buds that ill be approaching will be incredible!
Let's go once again!! Excited to see the rest of this. Also even though it might be disappointing to have some issues, I can assure you that its super interesting to see how you handle tougher situations with your plants! Good luck for the rest of this grow :)🌱🍀
@GnomesAndStones, Thanks! Yes this one has tested me big time, but it is no match for expertise in DWC! Im spolied by growing in DWC, and can easily reverse any issues and remedy problems fast. Bruce is a bit of a challenge to grow large in DWC due to "overwatering", however if you can push through the beginning, she will certainly reward. I grew Bruce before, and that grow was the most challenging of my life, but it reaped some of the absolute best auto buds ive ever had. This time will be a different story, it has had a much easier life that the first Bruce. Thanks for the well wishes! Bruce 2 will be a monster!
