PPM is from the tap water . Reservoir TDS is 300-500 ppm depending on how much Nutrients go in. Volume of water is estimated the system is on a water pump feeding continuous loop. Also have an air pump in there for high levels of oxygen in the reservoir. Blacking out containers can be a bit tricky as Iv'e done the DIY for all my setups. Growing different strains is not a good idea. The finishing times of the buds can Really throw things off course.. But I have multiple pumps and buckets just for switching plants over and getting them on seperate reservoirs and loops. Pay no attention to the dieing branches in the background.. It was trimmed from other plants but the old lady was like put it in water and it'll grow, I tried to explain it to her but women....

Bruce Banner is definitely one of my favorites. Was nice a week after drying was even better cured. Seemed to just take off, I did very little training and it just exploded. Will grow Again.

My apologizes for the gaping and late posting of the diary, I was cropping out when I found this site and wanted to get involved but was mid grow. I like the idea of giving the ladies a slight break so I tend to not like the idea of running 24 hr lights. 22 on and 2 off is plenty okay for me and the plants :). The blueberry was a slow grower and suffered a bit from a lack of something ;). I'm thinking I used to low of nutrients or forgot to add something.. Seems to be bouncing back and doing okay now. All the plants have been topped except for the blueberry. The blue berry is in the bottom left corner of the pictures.. The two above it are the closer Bruce Banner and farther Purple Gelato. The four on the right are as follows: Zkittlez (LST) , to the right of that is GSC/Jack then on the bottom left of that is the Granddaddy Purple and finally the Wedding Cake is on the bottom right. I Fimed the Bruce banner by accident and you can see the Nodes just doing some crazy things. All in all they are looking nice and bushy. They are under 2000W LED Cob lighting right now and I try to keep the light about 30 inches above the Canopy. There is an 40 inch oscillating tower fan pointed at the Wall and a 4 inch inline duct fan to freshen up the air but keep humidity in. Auto humidifier set at 70%..... In flower phase we switch to an 6 inch inline fan (much more powerful) with a Carbon filter attached. And of course the humidifier comes out...

Last week of veg.... Also I added the 1000 W led to the grow tent for the flower.. For a total of 3000W. With all the extra light, extra Co2 is probably needed and really can't hurt them at all ... I will be using like 4-5 exhale co2 grow bags. Not purchased at the same time, staggering the purchase so in theory the production of co2 from the bags will be staggered as well. I will swap them out as needed and probably gonna be grabbing a Co2 monitor just for my own peace of mind. The two "slow" growers got put into the same container together, they are under the 1000w. Everything got moved around and shuffled a bit to make for more space.. Clockwise from the plant in the top left corner is Purple Gelato, Zkittlez, Gsc/Jack, Wedding Cake, Granddaddy Purple, Bruce Banner And Finally Blueberry just below the purple gelato... The Bruce Banner is just looking fantastic from the fimming and the topping did not really take very well to purple gelato. Also these ladies could definitely use a good trimming..

Was a great week lots of growth and exciting to see the way some of the ladies are just exploding out. Also noticing a nice aroma when I open the tent. not a stank or anything but definitely smells like yum inside there and it's still so early. You can see in the pictures how I'm only doing light training to try to make to ladies grow a bit wider and out more. Also using lst to make them grow away from each other.

Is my TDS too high (1500) for hydroponics and am I going overboard with nutes? From the Tap the water is only 130 ppm.

That does seem quite high, but it also depends on what conversion your ppm meter uses. 500 or 700. 1000ppm in 500 scale is 1400ppm in 700 scale. I usually shoot for 1000ppm max on the 500 scale. so if your meter uses a 700 scale you aren't all that high. Also, I don't really see any signs of overfeeding from your pics. If growth is good and plants look happy then you are probably okay.

Light Burn! Oh no lol.. Soo running 2 high powered in one tent is a terrible idea... I tried to separate them and move them apart and it made no difference my little guys still got burnt. That being said they have bounced right back and are doing okay now. The high TDS of the nutrient solution seemed to be fine. I'm just gonna go a little lighter on things this time around I'd be happier with closer to 1000 TDS. The Bruce Banner is just a beast of a plant, lots of growth and just looking like it's gonna produce a nice yield. I'm wanting to separate the plants and have two tents running. In an effort to get as much as i can from all of the plants... They are definitely outgrowing the single light. Outer Parts of the canopy are not getting much light. Also there's a plant that's being outgrown and kind of buried under the growth of the other 2 in the same container. So I'm gonna take it out and run it in it's own 5 gallon bucket. . I will run 4 plants in One tent (59"x59") and 3 plants in the other 39" x 39". Having space around the ladies helps for trimming and just overall getting in there to check em out. It's hard to move around when they get so bushy. I mean I'm a skinny dude but I don't like touching the plants with my clothes. Lots of photos this time around before and afters. under natural light... I take shitty pictures lol

The buds really start to look more like buds this week. Stretch still happening, not really in full "flower mode" yet but looking really nice. Lots of growth and everything is coming along soo nicely. Just for clarity purposes all these seeds were germinated August 8 /2019 and all transplanted/moved into larger containers at the same time. So I guess this would actually be the 10th week of growth... but definitely the 3rd week of flower... I am 16/17 on germination from I49 seed bank.....

Everything looks so beautiful and the aromatics are really coming on. I got my head in the plants and it's almost overpowering ha ha . The Big tent has a blanket of growth looks so flat and even you could lay down on it and take a snooze.. The purple Gelato seems like she'll be the first finisher as it has the biggest and most developed buds. The blueberry is slow and in my experience at least with this phenotype was a poor grower right from germination really it just seemed to not be growing as fast or as healthy as the other 6. Had more problems with the blueberry then any of the others... The tents have lots of airflow and fans. 2 oscillating tower fans in the big tent with a floor fan as well. The small tent has a floor fan and another small fan. Both tents have inline exhaust fans pulling air out . I'm seeing a few darker green leaves. I believe my nitro was a bit high for this week,.. No clawing so wasn't a big deal. just tried to add as much fresh water as I could during PH checks. The black plastic and the tape do not actually get wet of course, They are there to keep the light out. I noticed with the clay pellet substrate the light can still shine through. Look how organized and Clean it is inside the grow tents... I bought a shelf specifically to keep the nutrients/other goodies out of the grow tent. My humidity was too high this week... I'm guessing it's because of the extra foliage and all the water pumping... Iv'e purchased dehumidifier methods for both tents and hopefully can get that down as soon as stuff gets here. I'm attempting to grow crazy mad scientist weed here, not organic..... But flushed and clean.

Firstly the aromatics coming off these ladies is just soo yummy. It's a good thing I have plenty to smoke until harvest ha ha ha ... The purple gelato oh my god does it smell nice it has worthy buds... 5 weeks in, super pleased with the way everything is progressing.... You can really see now how different strains mature at very different rates. The Zkilttlez or what I believe to be is still stretching.... I may have mixed 2 up.... Such is life lol.. The other six are stopping with the stretching and getting into the hard flower mode.... I know I'll be able to figure it out as the two unknowns should be grow to be very different from each other as these final few weeks come to pass. the high nitro seems to be running it's course and I plan and on running almost zero in all rigs except maybe the skittlez will get a very very light amount. UC Roots truly is a wonderful product it almost acts like a ph balancing agent. I do make adjustments here and there but I really find it stays quite stable once I figured out the proper water to uc ratio for my local water supply. Humidity is still quite high after adding smaller dehumidifiers. So I had a stoner moment there and realized I totally had not turned the 6 inch inline fan to full blast, Humidity is much better in the big tent around 50% but I still got stuff on the way cause I'd like to ideally get it to 40%... I'd like to think of myself as always learning, I don't know everything there is too know and I'm having a lot of fun with the discovery side of things... If your reading this and looking to start do your research I can't stress that enough. Knowledge truly is power when it comes to growing. I run 3-4 harvests/year so you'll see lots more to come from this guy. Next batch is only 6 I'm thinking, But we're gonna go 6 different strains a nice 4 indica 2 sativa mix. Moby Dick and Bruce Banner 2.0 for the sativas. And Purple Star Killer, Blue Cookies, Gorilla Lemon Fire and Do Si Dos for the Indicas. If you guys have any suggestions on strains leave a comment I'm always up to grow something new or different especially if it's high potency.

Darkwarsongsstarted grow question 5 years ago
Went too high on the nitro. I'm doing no Floramircro or floragrow. I'm wondering if the 1% nitro in the OverDrive will just contribute to the over nitro? I'm thinking at a ratio of 12ml to 8L. It should be more then fine. What do you guys think?Should I cut out the overdrive?

So I lightened up on the nutrients for the past week and everything is looking really nice. You can see a lot of the leaves have turned a lighter shade of green not as dark as they were a week ago. Gonna lighten it al bit more for this week. EVERYTHING looks awesome, The Zkittlez I'm guessing is gonna be a 10 week flower as well as the Bruce Banner... Everything else is probably gonna be 8-9 weeks of flower. But with how pretty they look, I would rather chop down a little late then too early. It's a little out of control in the large tent. As far as how much foliage there is. I do not like to trim during flower, if I do I tend to trim only 3-4 leaves from a plant and leave it for a day or two. Fixed with several EVA-Dry mini dehumidifiers and small plug in unit. I got the humidity down in both tents to a more satisfactory level for flower. A bit concerned about the spacing in the big tent, I want to be sure there is plenty of air flow and low humidity.. So earlier in the journal I mentioned different finishing times for different strains.. The blueberry and the wedding cake are in the same Reservoir and will have to be separated so the blueberry can be flushed while the wedding cake will still need the nutrients. Not a huge deal if you have the equipment on hand to just pop it into a new home. But it is delicate work and definitely can run into snags when you try to move her out of her home that she's been in for over a month. Everything is looking great and we have satisfactory numbers across the board temps, humidity, co2, TDS, light height, etc... It looks so good and smells great. Very pleased and confident going into these last few weeks. When I smell the hands after working on it, I get a little half chubby and my mouth waters. I find myself just being entranced by the overall look and it's just its soo pretty. I'll be trying to check the PH and I'll spend 30 mins just looking at them lol.....And that little voice comes into my head and says "You did really awesome this time dude.. ". Praise be to the Marijuana Gods for providing this troubled soul with what should be a bountiful Harvest.... May the Weed be with you.

The bruce banner is just a fantastic growing plant lots of nodes and just chugging along nothing huge yet but she's got weeks to go from what I can see so far.. The purple Gelato and the Blueberry will be going into Flush mode and will be fed 1.5ml of flawless finish to 1 L of water. Depending on what we see we may be going 2 weeks for flush. At least 8-9 days and a fresh water change or two in there... I really wanna flush out all those extras nutes I was feeding them during flower. Separated the wedding cake and blueberry omg what a chore, it went smoothly but in the future I'm just gonna keep everything separate, unless it's the same strain. A shout out to weed-seeds.ca that's where all these seeds were purchased.. And Iv'e grown 10 plants to harvest with seeds purchased from weed seeds and I can't praise them enough.. Fantastic germination rates and stellar genetics as you can see. Good healthy seeds made the grow a lot easier... The blueberry was a bitch I don't know why but it had it's own agenda. I did not top it because it was just the smallest and wasn't doing too well at the time.. At first I only planned on topping the banner but when in rome.. I was all like "hey I might as well just top you all except you blueberry I hope your okay little lady". It did it's own thing and now we have some nice little fat buds that smell oh soo sweet and yummy. I'll see what happens with the next blueberry. Is it weird that there's a part of me that will be sad to chop them down :(.. so much work and there so healthy, it's almost a shame to cut them all to pieces. But weighing up a fat harvest is also pretty freaking awesome as well soo you know just saying I love my plants. I'd hug them but then I'd be absolutely covered in sticky mess. Gonna need several sets of rubber gloves for this harvest. Best HOBBY EVER at least for this dude :)..

Fantastic progress. So many of the leaves have lightened up quite nicely. The GSC/JACK and the GDP seem to be having the hardest time with the high amounts of nitro. a darker green and a glossiness of leaves is a sign of nitro being too high. Once it's too high they will not turn around overnight. Different strains use nitro at different rates... Even though all these plants are marijuana plants they are all very different from each other. They grew/grow differently and they stretched and flowered in different ways. But symptoms slowed down and we just kind of ran with what we doing. It could be the larger contrainer, it's a 60L tote with holes in the top.. Next time 5 gallon buckets for all.... The buds are getting really nice and fat. Decided to harvest both blueberry and purple gelato after 1 week of flushing. Both plants had nice cloudy trichomes. Blueberry was kind of a ugly little plant but produced some really nice looking buds. And the purple gelato just put out some nice sized nugs. In a relatively short time frame as well. Definitely gonna grow purple gelato again it smells wonderful with nice light hints of purple. Lots of little purple stems/growth throughout the plant. The other five just look like stellar. The buds are swelling and everything just looks awesome. This is my absolute favorite time of growing, so exciting to see what the plants are doing. And now that it's not a question of having grown it, it's all about the looking at it and being like "Fuck yes there's a lot of pot on those der plants ". Humidity is still a bit on the high side of things from where I'd like it but 45% is okay and we got plenty of air flow so I'm gonna leave it. Do people even read this? Or do they just look at the pictures? I imagine a lot of people just look at the pictures. Fucking stoners ha ha ha.. The universal language of pictures and marijuana. Buds be with you. A Poem for Bruce Banner Oh Bruce so big and all the fruits you bare You grew fast and did not stretch too far In my heart a special place there you are Oh Bruce you are my morning star

Took a different approach with the pictures... wanted to show the big picture.. I like to grow things... I like to learn things.. I don't like making mistakes, but alas I'm still making mistakes... Like using too much nitro from all the additives. Yes my buds are resinous and strong but they also took on too much nitro.. I should've zeroed out the floragrow and gone with very little floramicro.. Next time... But the important part is learning and evolving to become a better grower. Didn't get crazy massive nugs this time around but the quality is definitely there. Nitro starved crucial flowering phases.. I'm a big dude on quality over quantity... So I'm pleased with my results soo far. We are flushing everything! hardy har har my pretties I'll show you. Except for skittles it's still gonna get 1/4 volumes of florabloom with zero of everything else except uc roots… I think we'll be able to flush nicely before it too "late". The only plant that seems to have taken on quite a bit of extra nitro is the grand daddy purple... The bruce banner is finishing and the only plant that has not started to "finish" is the zkittlez… Honestly Bruce Banner was just amazing it's flushing out nicely and really didn't take on as much extra nitro as the other plants. I mean we can't really draw any conclusions from 1 seed but I'm definitely growing Bruce Banner again... The Purple Gelato and the Blueberry were harvested. Perhaps a tad too early as far as flushing goes. They still smoke nice and aren't coughy or anything but there's definitely a sense of this needs to be cured... I will post that info soon. The big tent and the big plants are just killing it, LOOKS awesome. I was hoping for a more stellar performance but I'm not a veteran and I'm definitely learning so I'll keep at it. There was a definite issue of buds getting too big and heavy which is kind of not the worst problem to have. But in hindsight having to support them after the fact is a little more difficult. I'm gonna try a scrog set up in both tents next time.This last half year of my life has been like the slowest roller coaster ride ever! ups and downs, thrills and chills and moments of jubilation. I like the ride so much I try to convince others to get onboard lol. This really is fantastic for me and we are having a grand ole time. Next time is gonna be better, again we are learning. Ordered my next batch of " 6 seeds " and we ordered.... Blue Cookies, Ultra Violet OG, Do Si Dos, Bruce Banner 2.0, Tangie and finally Purple Star Killer. All feminized and no autos. Truly thank you for reading.... If anyone wants to talk growing tomatoes over email or something like that.. I find myself without people to talk to... I'm exhausting the people I care about with my incessant talk of all things grow related. My girlfriend might even leave me people lol seriously this could be like that one good deed. And all you have to do is talk to some weird stranger. And in this case it's not stranger danger.... I think all dangerous people say that but hey live a little. Peace and love.

I plan on harvesting on Dec. 1. Everything looks great and there is very little new growth coming in... The flushing has been working away.. The GDP is the one that took on the most "extra".. But it is indeed flushing itself out slowly. It's a very good thing I left a lot of leaves on it's neighbor, the GSC/jack because it has a lot of buffer and is flushing out quite nicely. There is nice cloudy trichomes and the GDP has some amber as well as the gsc/jack.. very light amounts just the way I like it. The zkittlez has developed trics but almost no amber but that's okay I'll use it for more of day use bud and use the ambers for a later in the evening sort of deal. Notice Iv'e used ph down to keep the ph around 6, this is very important for flushing as far as I understand.. In the past Iv'e left the water as is and found the plants don't clean themselves up nearly as good. Also I tried a different idea of moving the light "directly" over the gdp and about 2-3 inches lower then it was set.. My thoughts were to speed up the process of cleaning the nitro, I'd be careful with something like this as I didn't wanna stress the GDP any further then it's already been. I would say the GDP is the only plant that was greatly affected by the high nitro. The other six strains just seemed to handle it a lot easier and clean out a lot faster.... The plants in the smaller tent did indeed produce smaller yields and grew with less vigor... I'm upgrading the light for the small tent. This grow my main goal was too increase my yield from last harvest... I doubled my yield this time around and now we need a new goal for the new grow. My goal will is to have more consistent results in the 2 tents.. We are gonna try a five plant in the large and 2 plants in the small.. I plan on making 2 very nice frames to control the five and the 2.. Sorry no harvest numbers yet... Just got super busy and haven't had time.. So far from 2 smaller plants and 1 big one 992.25 grams of wet. Which turned into 160 grams of dry. In the past ive only weighed dry product so the wet weight thing is new too me but these seem like good numbers too me :). Strains individual weights coming soon..

I suck at taking pictures.. I'm figuring out I don't take enough of them soo next diary will be more picture filled I can do better then a picture of all the jars... Like really slightly disappointed in myself lol. I contacted the seed supplier I49 in reference to getting on the website and they did not seem that interested... Oh well such is life. If any seed suppliers would like me to grow there seeds I'd be more then happy too :). In the mean time I do have lots of stock on hand... Okay onto the overall experience with the harvest.. In this growers humble opinion the COB Led lighting made a huge difference all four plants in the big tent produced substantially larger yields. There are other factors going into that conclusion so I wouldn't say it's a definitive light was the problem but I ordered another COB led for the smaller tent to keep the results more consistent. From 7 plants I yielded 16.25 ounces.. So slightly over a pound and very pleased.. Also I wanna definitely say that in my opinion not only are the yields larger but the overall potency and quality is better with the better light.. I guess it kind of seems like a no brainer really... Better light better results but I definitely would not come to that conclusion as Iv'e used the same 2000w COB led and gotten a lot smaller of a yield.. After pulling all the plants out of there homes, Most had a very nice root structure but I felt like 2 or 3 could've used a bit more holes in the containers to really thrive and grow. So now I'm going a little overboard on the holes in the containers... I buy cheap plastic ones and then use a plastic drill to put large holes in the cheap plastic ones.. I looked into the netted pots and was like holy man that's expensive at least in my area.. So a little Labour goes a long way and I have very hole filled pots for the next one. Umm growing is expensive or can be.... Save money be thrifty and engineer like.. Think outside the box don't just do whatever everyone else is doing.. Find your own groove and comfort zone. But absolutely learn from others experiences and knowledge. DON'T BE AN ASSHOLE yes this is different what you may have done but that doesn't mean it's WRONG. Honestly I won't hate on you if you grew 7 plants and get way better results.. If anything I'm gonna love and respect you for what you did and maybe peak at your diary to see if I can learn anything. And if you get less then me honestly I'm just happy your doing what your doing. Let's bring in the real world for a brief moment to reflect on the fact that's it's a hateful bitter miserable world out there.. And we as people have the extraordinary opportunity to shine and really make a difference in each other's lives. So let's be a bit more kind, compassionate and understanding. Peace and love to you all thanks for reading what could be the ravings of a mad man.. .. Mu ha ha ha ha

Definitely a sit down and smoke. An absolute treat and delight guaranteed to impress. Not for novice smokers. Hits fairly hard, but doesn't leave you feeling heavy.. Mine felt more indica leaning with a nice balance of sativa. An absolute Treat to look at chunky wide and big buds, smells like mint cookies. Great bag appeal and smell profiles Easily a AAA strain when grown to it's potential.

Great learning experience this grow.. I had some really nice turn out and a few let downs... Came out pretty strong and definitely pointed me in the right direction... I will always look fondly on my 2nd indoor harvest :)

This is not a fair review. This was suppose to be a beauty but the Seed was grown under plurple light, I feel like it could've been so much more.. it grew okay but definitely did not have the kick or flavour profiles GSC is known for.. The cherry pie didn't even come into play.. A really good example of good genetics isn't a guarantee. This strain is definitely worth another attempt in my garden and one of those strains that isn't for a "lower light" setup. A proper light is a much for this guy.

So again just that plurple light was a let down.. Once I saw a number break down... I knew there was definitely something to be desired with The light. I did also have a wonderful experience with a Cob Led light, so that was a nice wake up call. GET A NEW LIGHT :)

This is a special treat.. Although mine was very green, It had the most wonderful and sweet odour from the plurple light. A lighter smoke and a smooth tastey strain for sure.. Could definitely hit a much higher potential with a proper Light (plurple grown)… This was good with bad lights I imagine it would AMAZING with great lights

Did so well with a crappy light.. Really excited to see at some point what this could do with some GOOD light.. I'd actually recommend this one for a beginner strain, seemed to turn out quite nicely without too much issue or finicky behavior.. A nice pleasing grow that is sure to keep you coming back for another grow :).

A striking plant. Buds that burst growth from not all over. PURPLE Everywhere. Smells like Purple Drank. Has a fantastic bag appeal and opening it up and giving a sniff is sure to give you a sensation of having smelled a special fruit.. This one came out a bit nitro heavy my bad.... But It absolutely thrived on a cure... After a few weeks. The sweetness was amplified and the harshness went down by leaps and bounds. If you like sweet and fruity, grow this plant you will not regret it :).

Mixing plants up part way through the grow was actually kind of fun... was like a little guessing game lol... Which plant are you... I went with a Sat/Ind Dom hybrid type guessing and I was surprised to find Sat doms sometimes don't act like sativas and vice Versa :).

Zkittlez,, Lighter and fluffier buds... Again another sweet treat... Smells Tropical.. It's got a name that borders on Copyright Infringement and it's hits quite nicely. A very nice grow and I'm really looking forward to the Gorilla Cross I have on the go right now

I cant get it whay are you disappointed in yourself......you have done very well. and you always can do it better..... as i look into the diary see 7 strains in 2 tnts... to do this you got to be a brave person. dont be to critical to you... you have grown wonderful and got a harvest too. Thats more than a lot reach

Maan you have done very well. You encouraged me to do a " Mixed-grow". So moving out of the comfort zone, brings new experiences

Congrats on the harvest! I would recommend looking into quantum boards when you upgrade you lights. They are the best.

Iam sure there will besome breeder who show interest. you just have to choose the right label here on growdiaries. If you start a diary choose the breeder and the strain you grow... then your grow appears on the breeders site here on gd-- for example... your wedding cake lets say its from Royal Queen Seeds... choose rqs as breeder and look for the strain... then the representant like @James from Royal Queen seeds sees your diary,,, and so on ....... Other possibility is to write to the representants a pm here on the site to ask for seeds..... In my opinion you have done it very well.. even those multiple strain is a tough thing to do.....Happy harvesting

wooow, and those "trip " is close to the End. I like it to make Mistakes, because your learning curve is very high then...^^I mess up something in every grow.. and i can always do things better in my next^^ hahaha... growing is sooo addictive. I just love it. But back to you....Your Seedorder sounds very colourful.. alot of blue and purple family...Bruce Banner is such a great strain.. the tangie is soooo aromatic.. and the blue ladies well maybe sensitive... iam gonna folow up to see what happens.. happy harvesting soon

@@Darkwarsongs, Bruce Banner! Good call. And we live we learn👍. Next grow in the smaller tent will be better, I wholly trust it will yeild far more. Life long hobby, always room for change 👍😉

Darkwarsongscommented5 years ago
@JinksyGrows, Bruce banner and GSC/Jack. Both Fantastic yields and smoke.. My biggest disappointment with this grow was the overall yield from the small tent was like 81 grams from 3.. My overall yield in the big tent was 374 grams from 4.. I got more from one plant then I did from three, just was like a slap that it's like yea your doing something wrong in the small tent..

Hi, very nice grow. I use apple cider vinegar as my ph down at £1 a bottle for 500ml a lot cheaper than PH down and is organic💪
Darkwarsongs
Darkwarsongscommented5 years ago
@kitkat332986, That's a great idea.. probably a lot smoother and not as Heavy PPM wise.. I will try that thank you.. That's my next "grow goal".. Using nutrients that aren't as chemical based. But then again I feel like I'm just starting to get my nutes dialed in, I don't wanna change everything all at once lol..

kush_dreamscommentedweek 165 years ago
are those Banners from the original breeder Dark Horse Genetics ? looks a little too similair to the actual gear than the usual "Bruce Banners" you see *cough* bruce banger*cough,..... that purped one especially looks like the #5 pheno of original bruce banner. did you notice if they were getting nitrogen burn easily? all my oBB seeds did that to the point where I was only able to save a single female, I was eyeing 4... :,[

Darkwarsongscommented5 years ago
@kush_dreams, I got the bruce banner there was only one seed in that grow from i49 (weed-seeds.ca), Iv'e have like 95% germination rates from these guys 28 of the 31 seeds Iv'e used from have grown into Full harvest with 100% female.. all their info says really is Parentage. Original OG Kush X Strawberry Diesel.. I'm growing a Bruce Banner 2.0 right now and it's growing at an A+ rate... I love Bruce Banner it grows fast and seems to love everything I do... It has never been a finicky strain for me... Blueberry and Ultra Violet OG have been my finicky strains...
