Galifornian Banner

MELs_Garden Welcome to growbarato's Bruce Banner We're coming with a Bruce Banner from Eurogrow courtesy of our great friend Galifornia weed. Apparently, the results are magnificent, so let's hope we can live up to that. Let's discuss a bit. Genetics: OG Kush x Strawberry Diesel, Production: 450g².a Sativa/Indica: 60/40% Flowering: 9-10 weeks indoor. Height: 80-120cm indoor. Flavor: pleasant sweet nuances, with a subtle but pronounced earthy taste. August 26 With these, we're going to do an experiment. Instead of hydrating and putting them in the plug, we'll put them in directly without hydrating to see the differences. We're placing them in a small electric greenhouse with a blanket to evaporate the water into the air. We'll keep them in the dark. August 27 From what we can see, they're already sprouting, So whether hydrating or not, the plugs work very well. We moisten the substrate a bit with water + 0.25ml•l of ryzofuel. We put them back in the greenhouses but this time with light. August 28 We transfer the plugs to 0.25l pots and place them in the cabinet with grow the jungle LED strips of 3 × 15w on for 24 hours, currently about 5cm above the greenhouse. August 30 We perform periodic foliar watering, always with ryzofuel. We remove the lid from the greenhouse. The conditions this week have been quite good, and we're happy.

MELs_Garden Week 2 From September 2 to 7 September 4 We filled the pots a bit and gave them a watering soaking the pot with Ryzofuel at pH 6 and EC of 0.2ms. At the bottom of the pots, we can see that they are developing roots, so we will start watering with nutrients soon. We continue with the same routine as the week, everything is going well and there’s not much to report. Next week we will start adding the nutrients. On September 7, we did a preventive treatment with spider killer. September 8 Today we prepared the reservoir with nutrients. We will continue with the Cyco range and Toni 13's charts, one of my favorite growers. We will follow the charts he uses for Cyco cultivation in coco. The mix we prepared contains: (As our tap water has 0.1ms, we left it at 0.4ms using Calmax and magnesium, from here we apply the fertilizers.) • 0.5 ml/l: Uptake + Dr Repair + Silica • 0.6 ml/l: Grow A + Grow B • 1 ml/l: Zyme + B1 Boost + Ryzofuel (Amount we added of each product.) EC: 900 microsiemens pH: 5.8 Th20 23.3°C Well, until now we had the LED strips at about 20cm or less to reduce initial stretching, but once that was done, we raised them to 30cm, which is ideal.

MELs_Garden Week 3 From September 9 to 15 We give them a splash of the cyco mix every 1-2 days, depending on what each one needs. September 12 We transplanted to 1.5L round pots with 100% coco. Watering with 1ml/l ryzofuel at pH 5.8 and EC 0.2ms September 13 We do a foliar spray with vitality plus 50ml/l to help them recover better from transplant stress and to prevent issues. September 15 Another week gone by and everything is going smoothly. Very happy.

MELs_Garden Week 4 From September 16 to 22 We're watering each plant individually according to their needs, the watering is always with the same conditions as the values above ⬆️⬆️) for all the plants, but the intervals between waterings are different. The plants are starting to grow well and we're running out of space, so in a few days we'll start the culling. September 19 We've removed about 5 plants from our cabinet and now we have better space for them to grow without competing with each other. The plants have gone to our friend noobgrower's grow, including the gorilla glue #4, so we've deleted the diary we were keeping. We're still doing foliar feeds with ryzofuel at 1ml/l and normal waterings with the usual conditions.

MELs_Garden Week 5 From September 23 to 29 We're continuing with the same routine as last week. The waterings are practically the same, and occasionally a foliar spray with ryzofuel. I won't comment much because for now, everything is practically the same as the past weeks. September 28 We did some transplanting, but we ran out of soil; we'll transplant the rest when the soil arrives. The substrate we'll use will be Canna coco. The waterings are following the usual pattern.

MELs_Garden Week 6 From September 30 to October 6 October 1 We transplanted the ones we had left. We would have done it earlier, but it took a few days to get the soil. We're going to try the CANNA coco substrate. At first glance, it looks good. We moved to the LEC room at 315w. October 2 We watered with the same base as always but without the grow A+B so they don't get too much, keeping the EC at 0.8ms and the pH at 6. Some have shown signs of excess, and it's better to be safe. We did some supercropping so they don't stretch too much. October 3 We did a little defoliation, removing some fan leaves to let the light penetrate better, also placed stakes and did some low pruning. Tomorrow we’ll switch to flowering; it’s about time... From now on, they will stay in their final spot, and the monitoring will be more thorough.

MELs_Garden Week 1 From October 5 to 11 We switched to 12h, let the party begin. October 6 We did a foliar spray with vitality plus at 50ml/l to prevent pests and the like. October 8 We turned on the sulfur burner for at least 6 hours to eliminate any potential predators, fungi... October 9 We did a watering with all the cyco nutrients that we will mark above with the indicated pH and EC.

MELs_Garden Week 2 From October 12 to 18 October 13 We did watering with my Cyco schedule, practically with the conditions and fertilizers indicated above. We took the opportunity to move the plants and make the most of the space we have. Now they have their space without bothering each other. All are doing well except for 1 or 2 that I don't know if they're this delayed, could it be due to genetics or the conditions?? Low temperatures around 23°C when lights are ON and about 18/19°C when OFF. Humidity between 50/60% October 14 We did a small defoliation, removing sinkers and a few large leaves that were blocking the light. October 16 With the lights off, we did a foliar spray of C no insects to prevent pests and eliminate any possible threat. On the other hand, we did watering with the Cyco fertilizers and with the conditions specified above, both pH and EC as well as the doses per product. Other than that, everything is progressing well.

MELs_Garden Week 3 From October 19 to 25 The product we used for prevention left a sort of grit on the leaves; the plants may be pest-free, but I'm not too sure it did them much good... October 20 We don't know if it's due to excess or the residue on the leaves, but just to be safe, we watered with water. 1.5ml calcium max + 1ml magnesium pH 6.1 EC 0.8ms Th20: 22°C October 21 We did some minor defoliation, mainly the lower leaves that weren't getting enough light and a few upper leaves so the buds could receive direct light. Anyway, we removed only a few leaves to avoid stressing her too much or leaving her bald. October 23 We removed the rest of the leaves that we saw were bothering but that we hadn't removed earlier to avoid overdoing the defoliation. October 24 We watered again, going back to Toni 13's cyco chart, which basically includes the fertilizers and conditions marked above. October 25 The conditions are great, 24.3°C ON and about 20.2°C OFF with a relative humidity around 50/55%, with some days at 47%.

MELs_Garden WEEK 4 From October 26 to November 1 Just to comment, I think I must have left the light on during the first week or something because the banners are way behind for the week it is... we'll see how it evolves. We're going to keep the usual routine, and the waterings will continue to be individual. Even though they are done on different days, the mix will be the same for all and under the same conditions (fertilizers, pH, EC...) October 30 We did a little defoliation. The waterings are according to need, so some days I water just 1 and the next day 2... as they ask for it, I water them. October 31 Since we see that the plants are generally a bit over-nourished, we will carry out the next waterings with the following mix: 1.5 Calmax + 1.5 MG + 1 DR Repair + 1 Kleanse + 0.16 Mammoth P pH: 6.2 EC: 0.8ms Th2O: 22.5°C

MELs_Garden WEEK 5 From November 2 to 8 We continue to do individual waterings for each plant, watering them as they need it. For now, we will stick with the water and the mix we made until we see they are at 100% 1 calmax + 1.5 magnesium + 1 kleanse + 1 dr repair pH: 6.2 EC: 0.8m Th20: 23°C From what we can see, they are being very irregular; some are quite behind, others a little behind, and a few are doing well... quite a few differences between them. November 8 From here on, we will start watering with nutrients again since they look better and seem more ready to eat.

MELs_Garden Week 6 From November 9 to 15 Another week and everyone is doing their own thing. We highlight 2 different phenotypes for now, you can see them in the photos. This week we are watering with nutrients again, but we also changed the proportions and added and removed a few others. Everything is specified above. November 14 First, we did a nutrient watering, everything specified in the section above. On the other hand, we modified the lighting. Before we had 1 315w lec light + 2 × 150w led jackson, now we removed one 150w jackson to take it to our vegetative cabinet and we added another 315w lec. The amount of light now is much greater, let's hope they take advantage of it. As for everything else, everything is progressing steadily.

MELs_Garden Week 7 From November 16 to 22 Well.. I'm facing my worst strain and my worst harvest.. right from the start there were some that were already looking weak, but out of the 6 we have, we're going to discard 2 or 3.. at this point, we're just going to throw them away because they're useless.. and the other 2 might stay in the grow just out of pity.. After watering with nutrients, we flushed because at the slightest sign they show over-fertilization.. November 19 We threw 3 plants in the trash because they were useless, at this point it looked like week 2... We're left with 3, but only 1 of them is worth it.. I'm not throwing away the other 2 because they look nice aesthetically and because I don't have many plants; otherwise, they'd be gone to hell..

MELs_Garden Week 8 From November 23 to 29 Another little week. We started with waterings so that next week we can begin the flush. November 26 Watering with water + 1 Mg + 1 calcium + 1 kleanse pH: 6.2 EC: 0.8ms Th2O: 22.5°C After this, we’ll start the flush and the countdown to harvest. We’ve been watering with water as needed, and on December 2 we’ll start harvesting them. That’s it for the growing process; now until we harvest, dry, and cure a bit (enough to be able to smoke it), there won’t be any updates. Thank you all!
