Week three in the books and so far they look really well.. I water with nutrients every other water. I am giving 2 liters per water. I bought a stretchy net to separate the leaves and i am not sure how good that is going to work. we will see how they look after week for and I may start the bloom. The leaves are as big as my hand, i have never grown bruce banner or had leaves on any other plant get this big.
Well I'm on day 29. I just topped a little bit. They are all about 13 inches tall. they are looking good for the most part even though I noticed a few white spots on the leaves and a few leaves look light green. I am debating when to put into flower.
Looking good @Bakrauf68. I see you have listed you are going for a sog style grow, in which case its typical to flip to flower on sog at 4 or 5 weeks, but if you do the flip this early you will yield less. With your setup and how your girls look, I would reccomend doing some topping and LST with your trellis net. Once your canopy trellis is filled out with the new tops and weaved across your trellis to keep it relatively even across all three plants on height of your canopy I would let them go another couple of weeks at least. You will essentially be doing more of a scrog rather than sog, but you'll be happier with your harvest results than just running three plants in your tent sog style. If you had a few more plants in there a sog might be more effective for more yield. In regards to your leaves discolorations, they are the beginning of a magnesium deficiency. I know your nutrients are PH balanced, but I would still make sure your medium is properly PH'd and after you are sure its properly ph'd, you can add some calmag. If your PH is not balanced correctly you will see your plants suffer because without proper PH they will begin losing more and more of their ability to feed on the nutrients that are already available in the soil. HTH
I decided to go ahead and start the flowering process. three plants all different sizes. The one in the back is 21 inches tall. I leaving it alone. The one on the left is about 14 inches tall. and #1 I butchered. I am just learning how to crop and what it does and how it affects plants.
Day 47 and they are shooting up and taking over the grow tent. I had to raise my light another 12 inches. I learned a lot through this grow process and will be more comfortable topping and even maybe mainlining next time. im Just gonna water them and tlet them go and see what happens
Shit---I accidently deleted week seven trying to fix the veg thing on week six. I did read your advise before i deleted it/...LOL.. Looks like once i fixed it the comments came back
On to week # 8. Not much height change from week 7 so i am hoping they are done growing up. I cant put mu light up any higher. The flowers are getting bigger and i cleaned out some of the underneath stuff. I am watering just about every two days now i was doing it once every 4, but they sucking up the juice super fast. Thanks for all the comments! its much appreciated! I did order me a second net to help support the buds it should be in in a day or two
On to week #9! they mostly stabilized in Hight the flowers are getting a tad bit bigger. I got my second net in and put a couple of the tall boys through it.. I think the flowers are pretty good size compared to other o0nes i have seen. Crossing my fingers that Bruce will be on the loose!
Should i cut anymore of the leaves off or should i just let them go? LIke the big leaves around the buds if not now when should I trim them? Thanks for all the help!
Week 10 and no drastic changes. They haven't screeched anymore which is good . The flowers are looking good,, I do have different colors to the leaves and i mn not sure if that is just the plant or a deficiency.
Ok week number 11 and I'm getting some frosty buds. I am also getting some light green on my leaves. Is it something I should be worried about at this point? They have all stopped s stretching. Plant #1 is lighter green than the rest and its the only one I dint give nut's to this watering. So far I am pretty happy with the results. I just hope the buds get fatter...lol.. They are starting to put out a stronger smell but I don't notice until i leave the house and come back inside.
*to adress below comments, I am using 2 liters per watering season that's why my numbers are doubled
Its the plant eating from the leaves. Its eating stored sugars in the leaf it made from previous photosynthesis. Also leaves that get less light will die off faster cuz the plant knows its useless usually way bottom bigger leaves. If this is happening to new growth then like i mentioned before amend with salts but half strength one time wait 5 days to see if new growth looks better
I missed a week because i came down with the Covid 19. These pics were from week 12 i just didn't add them. I just gave them plain water and cut out the nutrients
I'm caught up with the journal now I'm on the tail end of week 13. How do the plants and buds look? I think a week or so more and they will be done. I added some Nuts this watering.
If you can use a scope to see the trichomes, that would be the best way. The breeder does say 8 weeks for your strain... but alot of the time thats just a gauge... never written in stone.
Week 14-I have decided to give the plants one more week or so. No more nuts I am going to flush for the next week and then chop them down...It looks like my Trichs are getting cloudy. So week 15 will be chopping time.
First time growing with no major issues.. I did learn a lot that I will try on my next grow. I may try different Nutrients next time around. I will let the plants grow 6-8 weeks next time instead of 4 weeks. I totally scared the pooch on drying. They were only in the dryer 3 days and they completely overdried. I'm going to have to rehydrate them a bit. I want to thank everyone for all the advice and tips!
