2 Bruce banner #3 seeds germinated floating in water around Christmas eve 2019, seeds were put into soil 27th of dec Clear from the get go, this is a strong strain, plant one has a slightly different structure and a paler colour of green than #2, tho the pale colour isnt holding it back at all, incredible growth I look forward to the process so much more this second time around I think :)

Going well, plant one continues to outstrip plant two significantly, but it's not as if plant 2 is weaker, if anything is has a better colour of green, I give it a little food, cal mag, and a small bit of the 3 main fox farms, later in the week Topped the biggest plant banner 1, back right corner

Only had time to grab a couple pics before lights out this morning, One of the banners is a complete monster, growing at an incredible rate compared to everything else 💪💪 Both banner plants transplanted to 10g fabric pots, topped and defoliated, the biggest was topped a second time Day 24, the big one continues bossing it despite the abuse yesterday Day 28 one plant completing bossing it still, leaving everything else for dust haha

Start of week 5, going well, both banners going good, adjusted to the big grow bags and some growth is speeding up again I've a feeling the centre badass banner might have more sativa heritage than the shorter one, we will see how it pans out :) End of week 5, both banners going strong, middle one continues to be a great grower

Both banners still going strong, both fairly pale in comparison to the other plants, I think it's the vigorous growth, need to up feed for them, more nitrogen required maybe or cal mag or both? Day 38, found preflowers on the big banner in the middle Day 39 cleaned up the lower half of the plants, removed a lot of growth, the dude that said banner has mad growth certainly wasn't joking 😂😂 Day 40 and 41, continued vigorous growth 💪

Start of week 9, start of second week of flower Both banners going well, though both phenotypes couldn't be more different, one is stretching to the heavens, the other stays so low, haha Have fed the tall banner extra to try and catch up with its pale colour that I've not managed to counter so far yet, hopefully now that's its growth has slowed down

Start of week 4 flower, all going well, both banners continue to be vastly different, one more indica heritage and one more sativa based, taller and slower to develop Look forward to seeing this variation continue, followed by seeing the final different in smokes 😎💪

Into week 8 for these chicks All going well, small banner continues to put on the beef amazingly, it's absolutely nothing but just meaty colas of goodness, smells supreme, laden with crystal Big sativa banner fattening up now too, starting to put on some crystal itself now too Still maintaining a mostly feed-water schedule maybe for another week perhaps for small banner, bit longer for the big Peace growmies

Week 9 for these 2 completely non identical twin girls Both are so fat and floppy now, they can't hold themselves up at all hardly, plants at leaning on each other lattice style for support The smell is godly, the stickiness is hellish when trying to arrange colas 😂💪😎

If your Bruce B is anything like mine. You’ll be trimming leaves through out the grow. Unreal thick foliage. Cures out to be a really nice smoke.

@I_and_I, yeah I also had large temp swing from day and night temps. My favorite strain so far is Chemdawg. Love to taste and smell. Problem is I must be a lightweight because just a few hits and I’m trashed. Craziest potent weed I’ve ever smoked.

@I_and_I, I know the feeling man. Soooo close, but the final 1-2 weeks drags on and there's so little to do but watch and wait. And if you haven't tried it, trust that it is an absolute killer in the best of ways. It's got it all. High, HIGH potency, long lasting, dense nuggets, large yields and relatively easy to grow from all the diary ratings I've seen. Plus, I've smoked a lot of it...haha. I think you're going to love this one, for sure👌. I just plunked in a Bruce Banner x GDP last night and I'm hoping that this will be the best of both worlds👍

Nice grow👍🌱 my Bruce b. Is really potent and needs a full slow cure to take the harsh bite out it. I have found my highest THC strains do more after a good cure to have a fine quality weed not just a brain twisting weed with taste and harshness traits. Your plant could become a monster in 10 gal pots. Well done.
