Off to a pretty good start.
Germinated w/ Paper Towel method, then moved to Rapid Rooter plug.
T5 Light
Mycogrow (from BlueSky Organics) and Kelp Tea.
After 2nd pic, transferred to 50/50 mix of Fox Farm Happy Frog and Promix HP.
Bruce is growing quite well. Robust in comparison to the Zkittlez Auto to the right.
Nothing new at the moment.
Still sitting under a single T5 with 2 USB LED Grow Lights in the closet. Cup of filtered water every 3-4 days.
Tent is currently being used to dry a small summer batch of Autos, Smoothie and Zkittlez :)
Bruce is still going strong. Lush greenery. I have good feelings about this grow.

Stay Tuned & Stay Blessed! 🙏👽
Let the Main-Lining begin!
Topped Bruce at the 5th Node and trimmed everything beneath.
Patiently waiting for the now mains to grow in.
Stay Blessed! 🙏👽
Within a weeks' time, the new mains have sprouted.
Finally back in the tent with some proper lighting!
Next few weeks should be interesting.
Stay Blessed! 🙏👽
Waited until the 4th node to grow in before I topped each at the 3rd. Stripped all growth beneath and anchored both ends to the fabric pot with garden ties and binder clips.
A day later, Bruce is already facing the light.
Stay Blessed! 🙏👽
Bruce is responding well to Main-Lining :)
Using a combination of Binder Clips and Gardening Soft Ties to clamp the branches down. Working like a charm!
Temporarily using some Styrofoam cutouts to raise the pot a couple inches off the ground while I wait for a proper stand.
Feeding with Kelp Meal Tea and EWC once a week.
Watering every 3-5 days, not allowing the medium to completely dry out (apparently bad for Organic Growing)
Stay Blessed! 🙏👽
Hulk Smash!
Bruce is growing with great vigor. I'm impressed by how responsive she's been to Main-Lining (Topping & LST)
With the lush growth, I'm watering a bit more frequently now, about every 3-4 days.
Still feeding weekly with EWC top dressing and Kelp Meal Tea.
Much excite!
Stay Blessed 🙏👽
*This is actually the first week of Flower (12/12) but I can't seem to change the category. Meh!
Significant updates this week!
- Adding the Humidifier worked wonders. RH is kept in the 55%-65% range which I think drastically helped in the final stages of Veg.
- Topped for the 3rd and final time. 8 Mains are taking form.
- Transferred from 3gal Veg Pot to 10gal Flower Pot 😁 Flower mix consists of equal parts Happy Frog and Ocean Forest (more OF in the bottom layer) In retrospect, I should've added a few cups of Perlite to lighten the mix a bit. No issues thus far!
- Fed the last Kelp Meal Tea after transplanting. Will replace with Gaia Green Power Bloom (heavy on the bat guano, fish meal, bone meal, feather meal, insect frass & humic acid) and Mineralized Phosphate 😜
Oh the joys of growing!
Stay Blessed 🙏👽
Apologies folks! I was out of town for the past couple of weeks. Had someone watching over Bruce in my absence, but no progress pictures were taken.
Hope you're in for a treat! Lots of pictures this week (may seem repetitive but I was excited lol) even did a quick video under some florescent lights :)
Did I mention that I love Main-Lining? Timing couldn't have been more perfect. Before I left the country, I installed the tomato cage and did the final topping, and she was pretty much good to go. At this point, she requires little to no attention until the buds are swole :)
Stay Blessed! 🙏👽
Bruce is bulking up nicely :)
My goal for this grow was to keep it short and bushy. I stayed true to the Main-Lining technique by timing the Toppings and LST accordingly. So far, not seeing a huge stretch in flower, so no complaints on my end!
Top Feeding weekly with Gaia Green Power Bloom + Mineralized Phosphate (Bat Guano).
Zero burnt tips and lush growth.
Stay Blessed! 🙏👽
Bruce is looking lovely :)
Bulking up nice and no signs of distress or deficiencies.
Trichomes are packing on.
Smelling real sweet in the tent now, mixed in with the robust scent of organic fertilizers 😝
Stay blessed! 🙏👽
Greetings!
Lots of pics to make up for my delayed post :)
Final feed this weekend before switching to filtered water and prepping for flush.
Smells like Skunk and Berries :)
About 2 weeks left to Harvest.
Stay Blessed! 🙏👽

No more nutes. Only filtered water and starting to flush this coming week.
Had to upgrade my Exhaust Fan due to the overwhelmingly dank berries this plant gives off. Just wow!
About a week and a bit left to Harvest.
Stay Blessed! 🙏👽
Feast your eyes :)
I love the purple hues developing on this plant.
Getting very close to harvest, I want to say another week to ripen before I chop.
Full Flush twice a week with only filtered water.
Stay Blessed! 🙏👽
OG Kush x Strawberry Diesel (Seedsman's very own take on the highly renowned Bruce Banner!)
Awesome strain! Smelled really, really sweet at harvest, like berries, jasmine tea, and a hint of that classic dank kush.
Took well to Main-lining and stayed pretty short and squat.
Would highly recommend this strain to all growers.
Strongly suggest a heavy duty carbon-filtered exhaust system :)
Hands down one of my favorite grows to date, mainly due to timing and the fact that I tried Organic for the first time indoor and came out with fantastic results. 60g dry of some very frosty nugs. Top colas all weigh in at around 4g each :)
I definitely had my faults here - kept in veg under weak LED lights for 2-weeks too long which led to under-developed veg growth going into flower. Transplanting to a much bigger flower pot may have saved me. I also could have done a better job of lollipopping.
One of my biggest issues in the past has been over-drying my harvest, especially in the first few days. I'm glad to say that I think I've finally got it down right this time :) 45%-55% RH at 60F-70F is the sweet spot for me.
The smell that comes off these nugs is nuts! Sweet berries with a nice dank Kush. Couldn't wait for the 2-3 week cure so I tried a bowl and was pleasantly surprised. Very euphoric on-set followed by a heady creative space with nice relaxing properties. I'm certain that after a nice, slow cure, the flavors will be more pronounced and will achieve a deeper high.
Thanks for the read, especially if you've been following along. 'Til next time, Be Well & Stay Blessed 🙏👽
