Great plants so far. Two seeds, two germinated. Straight water for the first week, progressed from ¼ strength nutes with jungle juice and micro/grow/bloom up to 2 ml/L of each. Stopped the jungle juice after a couple of weeks and added in the B52. Topped to the third node after six with the intention of mainlining, but I'm leaning towards LST - bend down the main branches and let the side shoots be the main colas. Had an early scare with fungus gnats in neighboring plants. They didn't take hold here. Sticky mats and diatomaceous earth for the win! Really looking forward to harvesting this plant. A local dispensary had this for a while and it was totally awesome. Super happy uplifting high. Guess that's why it's Bruce Banner, if he had this stuff he would have never turned into the Hulk. Hoping for similar stellar flowers out of these girls.

Topped and trimmed for the second mainline cut. Plants are steady as she goes. Looking healthy and strong so far . Wishing I had some Bruce Banner flowers around at the moment. They would be awesome for quarantine! Hopefully the world is getting back to normal before harvest.

Plants are filling in nicely. Consistent even growth on all branches. They're getting bushy. Have the sticky mats out but we haven't seen any fungus gnats in weeks.

Plants are fully recovered from the pruning and had a significant growth spurt this week. Only another week or two before they move under the bright lights. Two distinct phenos at this point. Squat and bushy, and lanky. Will be interesting to watch them grow.

Combined the Wedding Cake and Bruce Banner diaries as I'm not having time to update this here, or fuss over my plants so much. I can't lie, I was pretty disappointed in these plants throughout vegetation. They were a little scraggly. The nodes were staggered as if they were clones. Mainline branches didn't grow out evenly and I ended up cutting a few off of one of the Bruce Banners. But man, once these ladies got into flowering mode look out!!!! They are both just incredibly beautiful plants. They took off like crazy! My tent is bursting at the seams with these flowering monsters! I'm so excited everytime I open the tent to look at these ladies. The Wedding Cakes have stretched a bit, and the banners are producing flowers like crazy and we're only on week 3 of 12/12. I can see why people like these strains from Canuk so much. Damn! The anticipation of harvest is strong with these plants. Looking forward to harvest sometime around the middle of July.

@@JP148,I agree..my leaves are a bit more thinner than this diary. Although both banner seeds are identical.

@@JP148, Are you referring to the size? The start to mainlining really makes the plant look like a slow grower. Give it a couple of weeks and it'll be a bushy monster! These gals seem to be vigorous growers. The one Banner plant is the strongest of my current crop.

Indeed some Hulk to puff during the Stay @ Home order would be superb. Can't go buy nutrients or the cheaper refills of RO water. Been using distilled tap & rationing my nutes... as are many other cultivators. FU@% the Coronavirus! 👉👌

Your right there. You have to work to hurt her. Why good choice to heavy training like your doing. We’re your seeds large? Mine was like huge. Like you said few weeks she’ll be a beast. The tangerine smell when first curing is unreal. Killer potent. I’m a first timer to the strain. Impressive. Good growing Blue.🌱👌🏻

@@JP148, The seeds were average in size. Not small, but not overly large either. My last grow was mainline. The harvest and trimming process was a dream. Took about 1/4 the time of a buddy with a similar harvest. Google Nebula Mainline for the rundown. I have two tents running, so the extra veg time isn't a concern for me. They'll be just about ready for 12/12 when my other plants are harvested.
