BRUCE BANNER #3

This is the first time in sometime I have grown from seed Special Thanks to Original Sensible Seeds for Donating the seeds for this grow and 2 others. So it was super awesome of them to ask me if I would grow Bruce Banner #3 in my New Hydro/Aeroponic system so I jumped to the opportunity. so I hope you all enjoy "Bruce Banner puts roots down in Canada. Dropped seed into Shot Glass full of RO Ph Balanced Water. She sank right to the bottom - no worries the next morning she had cracked and root was starting. poured contents onto paper towel between 2 pie plates( kept moist) dark area on top of fridge where it's warm. 48hrs I first PH conditioned the rockwoolin a bucket of RO Water. Rolled Seed/Root into center hole. Day 6 she has poked her head from the wool a little slow but she has risen Life Starts Now!

Day 8 and she is spouting a little more all the time. Not as quick as I might have thought but never the less she is sprouting I am so looking forward to growing this strain,looking at others who have grown this from Original Sensible Seeds.😎 Day 11 The day the DR. didn't make it. Unfortunately these tend to happen, So another seed is Sowed and into a smaller cube this time around.😲

Day 1 of the rebirth and going much better than the first attempt. Added the rooted seed last night and today she pokes through. I am chalking it up to having an air pocket in my cube for the cause of death for the first shot at it. I added Coco to the top of the cube. Nice! 😊 Day 2 and she is exploding onto this planet. When the stars align good things happen.😎💪 Day 3 This girl stretching out and climbing fast.😷 Day 5 Still under Humidity Dome for now.

Day 8 of the rebirth and she is sporting her 2nd new additions. She still sits below the dome for the next few days or when she is ready.Her roots have popped through to the mist below. So far so good PH has changed a little bit as has the PPM's So It's time for a pump out adjust and pump back into the reservoir. I am looking to build a water chiller to control the Temps a little better than frozen water bottles.😎💪 Day 11 Major growth spurt happening she is catching the others connected to the hive. Beautiful Plant thus far.😎🙏

Day 14 of rebirth and she is growing like crazy. leaves are very wide with large jagged edges. She is healthy and seems to do well in Aeroponics. going to lower the PH today as she spiked a bit she sits a 6.58 so i'll bring it back down to 6.2 add some more RO water 1 or 2 gallons should do. I've put a fan blowing onto the reservoir to cool it down so to see if I should add a water chiller to the arsenal soon.😎 Day 16 Be off with her head I say we need 2 boobs instead. When performing this delicate snip, sterilize snip first. Twist,roll or vape is a good thing! It really helps to keep that hand steady.😎👆

Day 21 Even though i am 14 days behind the others on the hive she is growing fast. Big beautiful leaves that I might have to chop off to let the plant breath better. Day 24 and I had to cut the large fan leaves off. Amazing

Day 29 she is a grower that is for sure she has caught up to the rest of the pack and soon I will defoliate her a little, wait for recovery and then they all are going to flower power.

Day 36 Growing rapidly. the base is quite thick and a strong support system with good root mass below. I have started some slight branch bending with the washers now that she is sturdy. another week or 2 and should be ready to start flowering.😎 Day 40 and she is sure a nice plant, likes to grow . love it.

Day 43 Defoliation and topping were on the agenda for last week and this one is washer training, LST kinda. It works well if you have an abundance of washers. Probably last week of veg and onto 12/12😎 Day 47 The last few days before I turn to flower mode.

Day 50- All is good and it's now flower time so turn the dial back 6 hrs Fall has arrived. This strain is very easy to grow and loves to branch out. The stems are large and strong Can't wait for the end result Thank You Original Sensible Seeds for your support.💪😎 The nutritional Blend I am using will remain for the first week of flower.👆 Day 53 I noticed that the leaves were bleaching out so i added some CAL/Mag Which I believe should do the trick. should see some results in the next week- I presume it is a Iron thing because of my RO water.

Day 57 She's a wild one, reaching quickly. Changed up the nutrition to flower adjusted PH and added CAL+MAG She seemed to be yellowing at the top new growth. Because RO water is used she seems to be a little Iron deficient.😎 Day 60 The addition of CAL/MAG seems to have made a difference as the green is coming back

Day 64 18-4 She putting on a stretch right now as budding is starting to happen, going to be adding a Bloom enhancer to start her busting. it will be followed by a misting of the leaves in a day or 2. still using washers for training and because the plant is 2 feet off the ground with a 7 ft ceiling, light etc doesn't give much room.😎

Day 71 25-4 the buds are now really starting to take off, i just added Power to Bloom to the nutritional balance and is being gobbled up and exploding out in buds and sites😎

Day 78 2-5 Flowers are really starting to explode now since adding Power to Bloom with a follow up misting of the plant 4 days later with a UMP. Seems to have made a difference. This girl is huge and has a very large trunk and an enormous root system below should make for some nice sized bud 👍😎 Because of the turning of the plant a good solid corkscrew effect has happened below with the roots so for now rotating her basket has stopped due to root weight.😲

Day 85 9-5 Well we have another explosion going off in the other corner with the skyscraper. She is massive and her buds are building quickly. She likes being quarantined she is a monster. Still rotating plant but have now marked out start point and reverse rotate so not to twist the root until she snaps Yikes!😎 Using washers to bring curve down a little. She wants to push trough the light umbrella. lol💪

Day 92 16-5 Huge is what this girl is. With Big Buds. Just the way i like em. Added some Power to Bloom and Some UMP earlier in the week and she has take off. Good Genetics.😎

Day 99 23-5 She is putting out some nice flower Now coming into week 8 of the flower cycle she can build that up football size would be nice , Still trimming her as we go. Over the next week it will be seasoning time as i cut back light cycle an hour this week and an hour next. Stay tuned for final week excitement. Coming Soon!

Day 106 30-5 Into the final couple of weeks and already started cutting back on the nutrition and lessened the on time Light by 2 hrs. As the week progresses nutrition will start to drop considerable until PPM is around 20 but still maintaining a 5.7-5.8 PH value. I am also starting to defoliate a little bit more aggressively now as we close out another successful grow.💪😎

Day 113 6-6 Started backing off on the light time and had to bring in a dehumidifier to bring down humidity. Strung some support up for the final weeks push. Continue to lower ppm's slowly getting her down to 15. Total Darkness coming soon.😎 This could be the last week t'ill harvest.

This was a great overall grow. but in saying that some modifications to the equipment and position of plants under the light will be a addressed in the next grow. Bruce Banner #3 is a robust thick stemmed plant that likes the room to grow especially if topped. I had no real issues during the grow other than space and the turning of the baskets. The roots were very strong and twisted as expected but to break Na I needed metal sheers to cut through the roots to free the plant from the basket. I am definitely growing this again.😎
