Bruce Banner Automatic from 420 FastBuds

CannaArchive The Bruce Banner autos are up and running 🌱🔥 Two of them are looking strong and healthy, with nice green leaves, while one is a bit smaller and slower. They all went straight into 15 L fabric pots with a light soil/coco/perlite mix. Watering has just been CalMag (pH 6.5). Tent stayed around 24–26 °C and 65–70% RH, which is a sweet spot for this stage. Overall happy with the start, even if one of the girls is acting shy, I’ll keep a close eye on her.🌱

CannaArchive The three Bruce Banner Autos are showing very different personalities already!😅 #1 is off to a great start. she’s growing strong and looks really healthy.💪 #2 was pretty slow during this week, hardly any progress at first, but she’s still hanging in there. #3 is the weakest one for now, almost no noticeable growth compared to her sisters.🐌 All of them are in their 15L pots since sprout. Environment was steady under the SE5000 with ~200 PPFD, temps around 26–27°C, and humidity slowly brought down from 85–90% to ~70%.🌡️💧 Feeding has been just RO water with CalMag (Advanced Nutrients), with Biotabs in the soil to cover the base nutrition. So far, no major issues except the slower growth on #2 and especially #3. Let’s see if they catch up in the next weeks!🌿

CannaArchive The three Bruce Banner Autos are each showing their own character this week 😅. #1 is still the champ – so vigorous that I started some LST to open her up. She reacted perfectly and is already taking up a good part of the tent.💪🔥 #2 finally seems to have found her rhythm and is starting to grow more steadily. #3 is still very small with barely any progress compared to her sisters.🐌 They are all growing in their 90×90 tent equipped with the full AC Infinity setup (AI controller, fans, filters) and running under a Spider Farmer SE5000. Conditions are very stable thanks to the climate control: temps around 26–27 °C and humidity steady.🌡️💧 This week they only got RO water + CalMag (Advanced Nutrients). Their first Orgatrex feeding was already given last week.🌿 Overall: Bruce Banner #1 is leading the way, #2 is on the right track now, and #3 still lags behind. Curious to see how they will behave as they move closer to the first signs of flower.👀✨

CannaArchive The Bruce Banner girls had a strong week! 💪 #1 is still the biggest plant in the tent and looks super happy. She handled the LST perfectly and keeps stretching nicely 🔥. #2 is catching up and growing more balanced now. #3 has finally found her rhythm and started growing normally 🙌. Both #2 and #3 are now showing their first pistils, so they’ve officially entered the flowering stage 🌸. This week all three received a watering with Green House Bio Enhancer, and aside from that, just RO water + CalMag (Advanced Nutrients) 💧. No issues or signs of deficiency, leaves are lush green and healthy across the board 🌿. They’re growing in the 90×90 tent with the AC Infinity AI setup and Spider Farmer SE5000, keeping everything dialed in: 25–26 °C, 60 % RH, and around 500–600 µmol/m²/s PPFD 🌡️. Overall, #1 remains the queen of the tent 👑, while #2 and #3 are catching up as they ease into early flower. Excited to see them start stacking buds soon! ✨

CannaArchive The Bruce Banner girls went wild this week! 💪 At the start of the week, all three were sitting on IFCO crates to even out the canopy, but #2 stretched so much that she had to be moved down to the floor. She’s officially the tallest now and really taking off.🚀 #1 started stretching more as well and keeps growing strong, while #3 is still a bit smaller but catching up nicely.🌿 All three look healthy and vibrant — deep green color, no signs of stress or deficiencies.💚 They got a light defoliation this week, just removing a few big fan leaves that were shading lower budsites.🍃 A proper defoliation will come once the stretch phase is over. Environment: Temp: 25–26 °C RH: 55–60 % PPFD: around 900–1000 µmol/m²/s under the Spider Farmer SE5000 Controlled by the AC Infinity AI system 🌡️ They’re drinking a lot #1 still the thirstiest one, taking about 4 L every 2 days, while #2 and #3 get the same amount roughly every 3 days.💧 Overall, they’re stretching beautifully, stacking up nicely, and looking more impressive each day. Can’t wait to see them finish the stretch and start focusing on those buds.✨🔥

CannaArchive The Bruce Banner girls are growing strong and full of energy this week.💪🔥 They’re all at slightly different stages, but overall doing great: #2 is the most advanced one, she’s already done stretching and started to produce trichomes early in the week.✨ #1 is still the biggest plant in the tent and finished her stretch around mid to late week, also showing the first trichomes by now.🌿 #3 kept stretching until the end of the week and is a bit behind in flower development, but she’s almost as tall as #2 now and catching up nicely.🚀 All three plants look healthy, rich green, and well-balanced, no signs of any issues. They were watered as usual with RO water + CalMag, and got one feeding of Orgatrex this week.💧 Environment stayed on point: 24.8°C, 55% RH, and PPFD around 900–1000 µmol/m²/s under the Spider Farmer SE5000, controlled by the AC Infinity AI system 🌡️. The stretch is almost over, trichomes are forming everywhere, and the tent is starting to smell amazing, everything’s moving in the right direction 😎✨

CannaArchive This week the Bruce Banner girls kept building up in flower and growing really well.🌿✨ #2 is still the most advanced, stacking nicely, while #1 and #3 continue to catch up with strong, healthy growth. The biggest change this week: I finally gave them a proper, heavy defoliation.🍃💨 Not just a few leaves, this time I removed all the big fan leaves that were blocking airflow and light to the lower budsites. The canopy looks much cleaner now, light penetration is way better, and airflow in the tent improved a lot. All three plants handled it perfectly, no stress, no drooping, they just kept going 💪🌿 Watering this week was simple: RO + CalMag as usual 1 feeding of Orgatrex to support mid-flower development 💧 Environment stayed dialed in at 24.8°C, 55% RH, and about 1000-1100PPFD under the Spider Farmer SE5000, controlled via the AC Infinity AI system.🌡️ Bud development is getting better every day, and the tent is starting to smell sweet and slightly lemony 🍋🍬. All three Banner girls are healthy, vigorous and moving steadily through bloom, no issues at all.

CannaArchive This week the Bruce Banner autos really started to show what they’re made of. All three phenos are moving deeper into mid–late flower now, and the differences between them are getting more obvious. Bruce Banner #2 Still the most advanced girl in the tent. She’s building the thickest buds out of the three, stacking really well and showing the strongest early frost ❄️ No issues at all, super stable and consistent. Bruce Banner #3 This one really took off this week. She made a huge jump in growth and the buds are getting heavy enough that one of the branches is starting to lean a little 🍃🔥 The smell coming from her is amazing: sweet, citrusy and a bit chemical, very “Banner-like”. Bruce Banner #1 She’s finally stabilizing again after her earlier issues. Her leaves turned yellowish/red due to a previous deficiency, but honestly it gives her a cool, colorful look now. I gave her extra nitrogen (CalMag/N) + did a light flush, and she seems to be responding well. She’s back to focusing on bud development. All three plants got a quick follow-up defoliation just removing some missed fan leaves to open the canopy more and improve airflow 🍃💨. Watering: #1 → RO + CalMag + extra N + one flush #2 + #3 → RO + CalMag only Environment: Temp: ~24–25°C RH: ~55% PPFD: ~1000–1200 under the SE5000 Smell getting stronger every day: sweet lemon + chem 🍋⚗️ Overall, a solid week with good bud swelling, increasing frost, stronger terp profile, and the first signs of buds getting heavy enough to need support soon. These Banner girls are definitely heading toward late flower now 🌸❄️💪

CannaArchive This week the Bruce Banner girls really started to show weight. The buds are getting heavy enough that I had to give some support, especially to #1 and #3. Branches were starting to lean outward, so I created a support ring with string to keep everything stable 💪🌿 Bruce Banner #1 She’s still the biggest plant but also the one recovering from a past deficiency. The reddish leaves are still visible, but she’s pushing forward with bud production. Her smell this week: chemical + lemon 🍋⚗️ Trichomes are clear to milky. Bruce Banner #2 This one surprised me the most… She already shows multiple amber trichomes on the main cola 😳🔥 Most trichomes are milky and she looks like she’s maturing way faster than expected. Her smell is a mix of earthy, chemical and lemon. Bruce Banner #3 She’s catching up quickly and has buds almost as developed as #2. Trichome maturity is nearly the same: mostly milky with the first ambers starting. Her aroma is more fruity, lemony and sweet 🍓🍋🍭 All three plants look very healthy overall. Just heavy buds and strong terp development this week. Environment & Light Temp: 24°C RH: 50% Light: increased from 70% → 80% Watering RO + CalMag only Honestly, these girls smell insane right now. With the amount of amber already showing on #2 and #3, I’m expecting both to be ready within about two more weeks, but I’m watching them daily to be sure 👀🔥

CannaArchive Week 12 pushed the Bruce Banner plants even closer to harvest 🌸❄️ The buds gained more density and weight, and all plants looked very mature at this point. Trichome development showed that #2 and #3 were clearly entering their harvest window. Most trichomes were milky, with some amber already visible, especially on the main colas. Because of this, I decided to give them a little more time to fully ripen. #1 was still slightly behind in maturity and will remain in the tent longer, while #2 and #3 are planned for harvest soon. Due to the heavy buds, the plants needed continued support to stay upright. Despite the weight, all flowers stayed compact and healthy with no signs of rot or stress. Watering this week was kept simple with RO water + CalMag only, no additional feeding. Environment: Temp ~24°C RH ~50–55% Overall a very controlled and smooth late-flower week. The plants are clearly finishing strong, and harvest is right around the corner ✂️❄️

CannaArchive Week 13 was harvest time for two of the Bruce Banner plants 🌸✂️ #2 and #3 were clearly ready, with mostly milky trichomes and some amber, so I decided to finish them this week. Both plants were taken out of the tent on Thursday and placed into complete darkness for 48 hours. Due to the heavy buds, they had to be secured to the ceiling, as they would have tipped over otherwise. After the dark period, both plants were cut on Saturday and hung to dry 🌿 Only the large fan leaves were removed at harvest, while the smaller leaves were left on to ensure a slower and more even drying process. Bud structure is very dense and compact, with strong resin production and loud terpenes already noticeable at harvest. Aroma is a mix of chemical, citrus and sweet notes, very typical for Bruce Banner. Bruce Banner #1 stayed in the tent this week, as she was still slightly behind in maturity and needed more time to finish. Environment (before harvest): Temp ~24°C RH ~50–55% Overall a very smooth and controlled harvest week. Plants finished strong, and the quality looks very promising going into drying and curing ❄️🌱

CannaArchive The final week marked the end of the Bruce Banner run 🌸 Bruce Banner #1 was taken out of the tent on Thursday and placed into complete darkness. Due to the heavy buds, she had to be supported properly before harvest. On Saturday, #1 was cut and hung to dry. Because of her size and structure, I had to split the plant into several sections to hang them properly. A light wet trim was done, mainly removing larger fan leaves. Bruce Banner #2 and #3 were already harvested earlier and moved into jars this week. Drying time was around 10 days, and both plants stabilized nicely during curing at 58–62% RH, which is right where I wanted them. Overall bud quality is very solid: Dense, heavy flowers Strong resin production Loud chemical, citrus and sweet terpene profiles Despite some late-flower challenges, the run finished clean and the final quality is very satisfying. This officially closes the Bruce Banner chapter 🌱❄️
