08/23/2023 Starting week 2 flowering AK #1 is now 17" tall AK #2 is now 12.5" tall Bruce Banner is 16" tall All going well no more bug issues fed a little bit of nitrogen this week in the form of (901 C release) 1/4 strength trying to push some Carbon on her, no more Nitrogen will be used after week 2 of flowering, only P-K will be from Fox Farms Big Bloom 0-0.5-0.7 mixed with Bio-Remedy Hope that they have more stretch in them but time will tell. Either way flower are exploding all over her! Going to give them some Fresh Aloe Vera water, there loaded with Amino acids other good stuff. 08/27/2022 Not sure if auto flower goes through different flowering stages, if they do phase one is fleeting first flush of pistils fading and fresh ones popping up everywhere . Bruce Banner is a resin monster even some bigger leaves getting resin rails.

Grow Diaries Report: Flower Week 1 โ€“ Stretch Madness & Heavy Grooming ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿš€ Week 9 โ€“ Flower Week 1 Update The flowering phase has officially kicked off, and wow, this plant is on a mission to touch the sky! The stretch this week has been intense, with the plant shooting up significantly. To manage her vigor and focus her energy on bud production, Iโ€™ve had to step in with defoliation and additional lollipopping. This Weekโ€™s Highlights Massive Stretch: The plant stretched dramatically this week, filling up the vertical space in the tent. Defoliation: I removed a significant amount of fan leaves to improve light penetration to the lower branches. Lollipopping Redux: Further cleaned up the lower parts of the plant, focusing her resources on the top colas. What I Did Lollipopping: Removed more of the lower branches and leaves that were unlikely to contribute to bud production. Defoliation: Took off some large fan leaves to improve airflow and light exposure throughout the canopy. Nutrients: Continued with the bloom feeding schedule, ensuring a balance of phosphorus and potassium for flower development. Environment Management: Adjusted the light height to prevent light burn and tweaked the fan placement to improve airflow in the now more open canopy. Observations The plantโ€™s stretch has been both impressive and challenging, but the defoliation and lollipopping seem to be working. The top canopy looks well-lit and primed for flower development. No signs of stress from the grooming, which is always a relief during such an aggressive stretch. Challenges The rapid vertical growth is pushing the limits of the grow tent. Iโ€™ll need to monitor her closely to prevent overcrowding or light burn. Next Steps Keep monitoring the stretch over the next weekโ€”potential supercropping if necessary to control height. Fine-tune the nutrient schedule to ensure the plant has everything it needs as bud sites develop. Maintain low humidity to reduce the risk of mold or mildew during early flowering. Conclusion The first week of flowering has been an explosive start! The stretch is real, but with proper management, sheโ€™s looking set to develop some fantastic buds in the weeks ahead. ๐ŸŒŸ Any tips for managing a stretch-happy plant in a tight grow tent? Drop your advice below! ๐Ÿ˜Š

Welcome growers This is the last week in vegetation for my two BLUEBERRY CHEESECAKE ๐Ÿฐ Last week's topping had a positive effect on one of the two, while the one that is growing in its most natural form has started to develop the lower branches a lot, also thanks to HST techniques...in this case Supercropping.. Both have a very sturdy stem, also given by the 24/7 ventilation from the first weeks of life ๐ŸŒฑ๐ŸŒฟ๐ŸŒณ The color of the leaves is a nice green, the one wich is griw in most natural one is perhaps in a slight excess of nitrogen...but that's ok The general appearance of both is of full health ๐Ÿ’ช In a few days I will probably go to defoliate a little โœ‚๏ธโœ‚๏ธ Anyway In this week i have reduced the lights cycle from 16/8 on/off to 14/10 on/off ๐Ÿ’ก At the same time i have increase the intensity of my two led SP3000 from 50% to 75% and im going to put them at the maximum potency after the switch at 12/12 The two led panel are connected with a cable and i have only to adjuste the dimmer of one of them for change the intensity of each one, in just one move.. About nutrients ๐Ÿ‘‡ In this seven days i still giving their always organic/veganic nutrients.. A little bit of silicium (Bionova) / Activator (Biomagno) / Crescita (Biomagno) / Activera (Biobizz) / Grow vegan (Bionova) / The Missing Link (Bionova) / X-Cell (Bionova) / Bioheaven (Biobizz) for the first time and a little bit of P-K 3-5 (Bionova) {not in spray solution but mixed with the othersone in to the water} Like i usually do, a little bit of everything at any watering ๐Ÿ’ง And that's all.. This was the last week before flowering.. So stay tuned, maybe we will see some fire ๐Ÿ”ฅ Thanks for watching ๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘ FC โœŒ๏ธ ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡น

Organic, I'm on day ~55, but the flash photo was taken on day 50. I've had some problems, but it's looking like they'll hold out until fully ripe. Trichs are starting to look cloudy, but new pistils are still forming aggressively. I'll try for 1 more week. Lower nugs are taking their time to finish.

Pandemic โ€œThird Waveโ€ hit. Looking forward to share my Next attempt. ๐Ÿˆ๐ŸŸ๐ŸŒฑAquaponic Grow๐ŸŸ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿˆ #Germination ๐Ÿ—“๏ธ19 Jul 2021 Germination was simple. Just added some seeds in plant cups. Tank setup is as follow: Tank 40 liter Air Pump 2.5w SHANDA SD-900 Mini Aquarium Water Pump Small 2 Air Stone Grow medium mostly consist of small sea shells and rocks washed and packed. Fish: Gold Fish named Ed, Edd, Eddie After the wash of the grow media and Tank water fill I let the system run for a week. This allows the water condition to stabilize. Used spring water. The fish were placed in tank still in bag for water temp reasons. Opened the bang and kept the fish in tank for a week before planting seeds. Micro Bacteria to form in grow medium. Will be adding a Root Conditioner soon. Looking for on thats not harmful to the fish. ๐ŸŒฑNew Posts Ever Monday๐ŸŒฑ Follow and like my instagram: https://www.instagram.com/p/CPRd1WeA4WP/?utm_medium=copy_link Thanks for Reading Joe & Pop-Corn๐Ÿˆ

5/25: It rained again today for most of the day, but I managed to get back out there and take some photos after it let up. I also shot a short video early in the a.m while it was sprinkling and the lights were on... I heard that this strain flowers really fast, but I really don't think she can finish before June 21 (the summer solstice). The other two seedlings (FFT#5 and FFT#6) are in the same boat. The 5 clones outdoors might be able to finish before they get the signal to reveg. I may end up bringing as many of them as I can fit into my closet to finish and starting another batch of beans to grow outdoors this summer... 5/26 - 5/31: I did some training on her early in the week between rain showers, and foliar fed with Microlife maximum bloom formula. She was looking a little N deficient, so I assume the dry amendments have petered out. I top-fed her with another couple tablespoons of cavern culture and on the 31st, they were dry enough to feed them. I gave them big bloom, tiger bloom, grow big, beastie bloomz, silica, endoboost, signal, humic acid, liquid kelp/fish emulsion, and liquid molasses. It just feels so strange that I'll be harvesting outdoor photos in June!?! That's it for week 8-

Seems like its soon time for this baby to chop chop, been a pleasure growing this, super ressiliant against pests, mold, heat/vold stress. Grown perfeclty all the way, have been showing alot of phosphorus defficiency in the end, some dying parts turning black on leafs, quite consearning since ive never had this problem before. Then again never had a colorful plant as this either before so. Beautiful buds, coverd in crystals its beautiful really, sticky and smells deleicious, cant quite put my fingers on the terpines yet but def alot of fruityness, bit sour. Looking forward for them to ripen up, and flush has begun. See you hopefully in harvest or else another week :) crystals not cloudy yet, just a hint

17.3.25: So I watered with 2ltrs of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.4 with 4ml Xpert Nutrients Cal-Mag amino acids. I have really overdone the nutrients, I got carried away ๐Ÿ˜… To try and rectify the situation, I've cut everything out except Cal-Mag amino acids. I will try to just stick to this with some Biosys, but I'm running out of that now, too. Anyway, with Or Without, I'm sure it'll balance out. Fingers crossed ๐Ÿคž

Beautiful flower full of trichomes. Smell and test fantastic. Very fast flowering. She was done on day 49 but I cut her down few days later. I love the strain, the only thing that I will like this strain to have is a better yield. Beast quality buds I ever grew.

Slow groth, salad head, but its still gonna produce An 8th Generation autoflowering strain. The stable hybridization of two excellent strains developed from US genetics. The product of crossing a specially selected very aromatic and resinous elite clone from the popular Mimosa family [Clementine (Tangie x Lemon Skunk) x Purple Punch (Larry OG x Grand Daddy Purple)] with our own Bruce Banner Auto (SWS91). Mimosa Bruce Banner XL Auto (SWS101) is an extra-large autoflowering strain with highly resinous and aromatic buds. These plants have a truly exquisite scent that is particularly sweet and attractive, with shades of citrus fruits reminiscent of mandarin and strawberry, fresh cypress, and pleasant undertones of smoked cheese. It has a potent, happy, even euphoric, and long-lasting effect that enhances the imagination and creativity. Some plants develop flowers and leaves with purple and reddish hues at the end of the flowering period.

Welcome to the Zamnesia Spring Cup ๐Ÿ†. Day 34 since time change to 12 / 12h. Hey everyone ๐Ÿ˜Ž. This week she took on an incredible smell ๐Ÿ˜. Bamboo sticks had to be used to support them so that they would not bend ๐Ÿ˜…. The buds clearly increase in volume, which shows me that the Monster Bud Mix is โ€‹โ€‹still working perfectly ๐Ÿ‘. I can't wait to see what she'll do this week ๐Ÿ˜.

This week they did more stretching as you can see the one on the left is into and above the light! I can't believe this but I'll role with it! I slowly defoliate just a little here and there between watering and filling the humidifiers. They really like to eat! Also, something to note that is they love the humidity as well as the warmth. I had to clean the outside of their grow bags this week. To my surprise the roots are starting to come out the bag! I can't believe it but this is awesome! Now they'll die due to contact with the air, and in return get bigger to take in even more nutrients! As predicted they fell off because their little pieces are on the floor. Well I fed and watered them daily. Like normal whenever I fed them either nutrients or soil amendments I made sure to water the plants with plain pH balanced H2O the next day in order to flush them. Then I would do any soil amendments if needed. After that plain pH balanced H20 and then you could do another fertilizer nutrient for them. After that pH balanced H20 and then you return to the soil amendments if needed. That way every other day you're feeding soil then pH balanced H20 then nutrients then pH balanced H20. This will allow you to monitor pH imbalances, nutrient burn, or any subtle changes you need to make you can catch it before it happens hopefully!
