Bruce Banner#3

TheGreenfulOne After a bit of an initial stretch (reaching about 8-9cm), I’ve managed to dial in the environment. Increasing the light intensity to ~300 PPFD and keeping stable 24°C. The first set of true leaves is now fully developed and looking lush green.

TheGreenfulOne Decided to ditch the clips and go for a more natural solution. I backfilled the pots with some fresh Light-Mix around the stems and added 3-4mm coco mats. The plants responded instantly—leaf turgor has improved and everything is now standing strong on its own.

TheGreenfulOne Bruce Banner are crushing it under 450 PPFD and 60% RH, primed for main-lining with a pre-topping dose of Biobizz Acti-Vera and Bio-Heaven

TheGreenfulOne A week ago, I performed a topping along with the initial preparation for main-lining. The plants responded incredibly well, showing no major signs of stress and displaying vigorous, healthy new growth. ​The structural symmetry looks good, and the canopy is flattening out.

TheGreenfulOne The plants are responding incredibly well to LST in living soil, building a thick and symmetrical base. I'm waiting just a bit longer for an extra half-centimeter of growth on the upper shoots to safely execute the next topping.

TheGreenfulOne First, I trained the main branches, then topped them, leaving only the growth from the 3rd node, resulting in 8 main colas on each plant, and stripped away all the remaining growth. I bumped the light up to 550 PPFD and gently spread the youngest nodes on two of the plants to maximize light exposure for the new growth points. The leader is exploding and responding beautifully to training, while the slowest plant with very tight internodes is being given a bit more time to build its structure.
