Edit soon

[ Information ] For all information on this grow, including strain and room details, please see the first week of veg. [ Updates ] Day 10 - Watered today, 1.2ec feeding of mainly organics (Fulvic/Humic, Kelp, Molasses, Big Bloom) with runoff. 6.8ph. Group one is stretching much harder due to plant density, I will be adding a net soon. Day 13 - Watered today with the nutrients listed for this week. 2.2ec at 6.5ph. 80gals total. Added a small dose of Open Sesame for the first time today as bud sites are starting to form on all plants. Added a net to Group 1 yesterday, I will add the nets for Group 2 in a couple days. Group 1 plants are 38-40 inches, group 2 plants are 32-34 inches. I may adjust net height, this isn't normally how I run a cycle; I'm trying a few different things side-by-side. The "one plant per square foot of canopy" group has consistently shown that even with a short veg period there is far too many wasted growth nodes on the sides of the canopy. The plants around the edge tend to branch out instead of up, as they're naturally trying to find sunlight. My last attempt at using these side branches with heavy topping of the middle nodes resulted in a higher yield, as expected as the light footprint was 5x5 instead of 4x4, which defeats the purpose of "one plant per square foot of canopy" anyways. A better test would have been to stunt the growth of all middle nodes enough to weave the side branches into the main canopy, though this seems to be a waste of time without much gain. I'm much happier with Group 2 which has 1 plant per 2 square feet of canopy space. While it also has side branching, the difference in height at the canopy level of the sides and middles are not nearly as different as Group 1, which means a more even light distribution without the need of a net. As overgrown as the room is getting, they still have 7-8 days before they're defoliated a final time.

Veg day 36.- Happy girls seeing the sun for the first time. Additional soil mix is same as before. BX promix and perlite 2:1. Additional volcanic ash and worm castings. First watering was generic AB 1/4 strength, Rhizotomic and Mammoth P microbes. PH adjusted to 6.3 300ppm. Veg day 42 - after a week of wind and weather for the first time both seem to be acclimatizing well enough. A squirrel seems to like digging. Any suggestions for critter deterent?

Purple really starting to come in, upgraded ventilation system has got my tent down to low 70s they seem to be living it !

Still continuing to defoliate.

Wow! That's what I find myself saying every time I look into this beautiful flower tent! It's the end of week four bloom and dang am I happy lol. I'm absolutely in love with this plants strong indica structure. She looks so strong and sturdy, can't wait to see how she looks in full bloom, stacked up with flower... gorgeous plant. We're running the insect Frass now, full strength and I also put down some hummus and compost as a top dressing just to be sure that these ladies have enough food. I'm sure that should be plenty until harvest. Thanks for stopping by and be sure to check out Nupeddler and Growing Organic! Discount code CollinT

The start of week 10 is going well. I am monitoring the Nitrogen deficiency and will see how the plants react to the latest feeding. I believe the plants are getting a little light burned. The tallest cola is 5" from the light yikes! Stretch seems to be over. I can't raise my light so I have dimmed the light to 75%. I will watch the plants and see how they respond over this week and go from there. On day 5 of week 10 I applied Cal/mag to address possible cal/mag deficiency and or Nitrogen deficiency (Cal Mag 4-0-0). I applied weekly nutrients(week 5 flower) one day early. I also added Enzyme supplement to reservoir. This week has gone well and the flowers are getting smellier and bigger everyday 😃

*Chopped & hung Bruce buds on the 20th 💚💪♨️💚💪♨️💚💪♨️💚💪♨️💚💪♨️💚 Canuk's Bruce Banner Fast performed amazing well throughout her entire growth cycles. Responded nicely to topping & LST making her a much stronger girl. Developing a good structure with tight internode spaces she was a real plus in the garden. I'm really looking forward to dropping these beans again. 🍂♨️💨🍂♨️💨🍂♨️💨🍂♨️💨🍂♨️💨🍂 Big old bright green nugs that are coated with plenty of milky-bulbous trichomes. Sweet and earthy aromas are louder than the usual. Her flowers can stink up any space if not completely sealed up. Pleased with this "Fast" Bruce Banner's outcome. As are others who've been lucky enough to have tested her out already. Yet another great show from Canuk Seeds. Thanks to all the dudes and dude'etts who've kept up with this grow to harvest. And also everyone else showing the love. Always makes it worthwhile when friends are there to help encourage the run. Also aids in keeping us sain in this very mundane world. ✊🏾🖤✊🏾🖤✊🏾🖤✊🏾🖤✊🏾🖤✊🏾🖤✊🏾🖤✊🏾🖤 Everyone please be safe if protesting. 🖤BLM🖤GORGE🖤FLOYD🖤 Things are extremely heated in the US. Much love, Huggo 🥂

Hey everyone :-) This week it smells more and more sweet and fruity in the whole room 😍. There is actually not much to report, everyone is now under 12/12 :-). This is the last grow that comes in the entire diary. From now on, each plant will be added to the diary 👍. I wish you all a lot of fun watching, stay healthy 🙏🏻 and let it grow 😎👌

Easy grow, she don't need much attention 💪

Alright, I moved her into Homebox Q60+ now and provided some professional light Q3W from Sanlight with 120W full spectrum range. This setup is much better for the plant compared to my setup in 1st week. Now it is also much easier for me to keep stable humidity and temperature. Day 9 - Looks like she recovers from stress I gave her in 1st week. Stem looks quite thin to me - but since I have no experience I can't be sure if it is abnormal for this age or not.

Middle 2 plants stretched a lot week 3 of flower. They were growing slower in veg so I flipped to flower as soon as their canopy reached the net (barely LST these 2 plants with the net given their slower growth). Then week 2-3 of flower they took off. Did some defoliating to expose bud sites further down with the intent to increase yeilds.

I would reccomend growing her in soil the coco made her a bit too wild

Erde ist eine sehr luftige aus einem Garten Fachgeschäft, welche sehr leicht vorgedüngt ist, mit einem NPK Dünger. Möchte versuchen alles aus dieser Sorte heraus zu holen. Beigesetzt habe ich 1 Sack mit 10 Litern Plagron Perlit, welches vor der Zugabe gründlich abgewaschen wurde. Eine ganze Packung Royal Queen Seeds Easy Boost habe ich von Anfang an der Erde beigemischt. Dann wurde der gesamte Airpot mit seinen 38 Litern Volumen, einmal mit Wasser gefüllt, damit der Organische Dünger aufquellt. Dieser wurde dann mehrmals von mir durchgemengt, damit die aufgequellten Organischen Düngerteile sich möglichst gleichmäßig in der Erde verteilen. Nachdem die Erde nach über 1 Woche durchgetrocknet war, wurde diese erneut aufgelockert. Dann kam der Samen Zamnesia Banana hinein, welchen ich 4 Tage vorgezogen habe. Der Samen ist sehr, sehr Gut, da er von vorne herein eine sehr starke, praktisch absolut gerade Wurzel nach Unten gebildet hat. Das weiß ich, da ich den Samen in einem gereinigten, durchsichtigen Plastikbehälter vorgezogen habe, in dem vorher geiles Minzeis aus dem Aldi drin war. Start war der 07.11.2020. Habe Gestern das erste mal einen Hauch von dem Plagron Flüssigdünger auf 1 Liter Wasser gemischt, ca. 0,5 ml. Die kleine mochte die Dosis sehr. Mit PH Down habe ich den Wert von der Mischung auf den PH Wert 6.6 eingestellt. Lampe ist ein SMD Chip mit 65W, genauer der Cree CXB 3590. 1 Der Photonenstrom liegt bei 137,5 µmol/s, was ich für einen Einzelnen Chip in dieser Größe für sehr ordentlich halte. Auf den Wert komme ich, aufgrund der Angabe einer 4 er Lampe, die 4 solcher Chips enthielt. Diesen Wert habe ich dann durch 4 geteilt. Das habe ich wiederum getan, weil ich keine Angaben mit einem Strahlungsdruck Messwert zu diesem Chip im Internet fand, nicht einmal in dem Herstellerdatenblatt. https://proemit-576b.kxcdn.com/shop/media/pdf/b9/c8/eb/ds-CXB3590-1.pdf https://www.ledrack-growled.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/Produktdatenblatt18-LedRackPlusKit-TechLed_Swiss.pdf 1 Weiter im Text, dieser ist erfahrungsgemäß stark genug, für 1 Pflanze auf 500mm x 500mm. Growbox ist ein Eigenbau aus OSB Platten mit 12 mm Stärke, welche 4 140 mm Lüfter mit Vorwiderstand, welche durch ein Universales 12V Netzteil versorgt werden, verwendet. Reflektoren sind eine Rettungsdecke und Alufolie. Ich bin gespannt wie der Grow wird, denke ich werde mehrere Triebe durch Topping und später durch Entlaubung.

How is it growing, my fun(k) loving friends? ***INFO*** For more on my setup, why it was monster cropped, and how I made the canopy, see Germination page and subsequent weeks. They had 48 hrs of darkness, and the time has come to say goodbye to my friends. I thanked them again, spend some time with them, and under the sound of Amazonian shaman's harvest and healing songs (will post link), asked for their gifts, and apologized for taking their lives. I do this while in contact with the plants, touching, smelling them, observing every detail, no thoughts, just in the present moment. I feel emotional as I do this and remember how they were a companion, a source of distraction in a time of worry, sadness, and loss. How they already comforted me and kept me company in a time of painful insights about honesty, commitment, and staying true to myself. I thank them again for their wisdom and gifts, viva Santa Maria, viva Planta Maestra, may the mother of all beings give us healing and protection. And I proceed with the harvest as I visualize my intentions with every cut. Branch by bud laden branch is tenderly untangled from the scrog net, taken with a clean-cut and immediately hung upside down in the grow tent, which will now double as a curing and drying room. A couple more weeks and we will have the final cured and dried weight. More photos and movies will follow, this is where we are so far!! Thank you for checking in on our journey, all the love, support, and compliments were a true motivation, a very needed distraction, and guidance for me and for Sunshine. Big hug, lots of love and take care! ***UPDATE*** The final weigh-in is ready. I hadn't seen them in a week, because of my vacation. The humidifier I set up, had failed. So the grow had dried in 7 days, what I wanted to be 14 at least. Thankfully, its Sativa ancestry shines through, the smoke isn't harsh, the buds a sticky and smelly, no hay smell at all. We ended up at 246 grams, excluding a shitload of larf and popcorn bud, totaling at 310 grams all in, a first at a gram per watt for me, but for the Zambeza seed competition, I stated we would only weigh the quality bud. Overall I'm very happy!! Guessed weights in the competition: - @hashy : 0 grams - @MrHyde : 198 grams - @JamMAKEcan : 224 grams - @TrickOrTrip : 260 grams - @Greeneysgrow: 312.5 grams - @Ohey_fu_kyu: 350 grams - @Puffs4Pipes: 385 grams - @Hempkid : 605 grams - @DoDrugs420 : 621 grams TrickorTrip was closest!! Congratulations!!! I will be contacting you to get the seeds with you!! Thanks for playing to all the others and better luck next time, I will give away some seeds again!! Summary: Cost of setup: 850 euro Cost of nutrients and soil: 125 euro Cost of seeds: None they were cloned Cost of power: 150 euros in the power bill Total cost: 1125,-- for setup and this run. I smoke for medical reasons and it's used for ritual and healing purposes, never to be sold, as it loses its magical properties. Should I have to buy Gelato of this quality at the dispensary that I frequent, it would cost me at least € 15,-- per gram. 246 x 15 = 3690 euros. also, 49 car rides of 25 miles there and back, 250 euros in gas saved. Overall conclusion: I think we can call this a succes. Made back my investment, my cost per grow and we saved the environment. Thanks for all the love, tips and support! Couldnt have done this on my first indoor LED grow, without you!! Wish you were here to smoke a fat one, some good conversation about our hobby and now... I'm hungry.... See you on the next one!!

Final update: Very happy to announce that this dairy had won the sixth place best diary of August 2021. My prize came in yesterday and I'm very happy!! Thank you Growdiaries!! Thank you Fastbuds!!! Thank you all my grow buddies here for the love and support!! Hope to see you all, maybe at a future Growdiaries Meet and Greet? Wouldn't that be a lovely idea, per country and a yearly one on a different continent every year? The Growdiaries Conference. Would be a great Hemp growers fair... I'll keep dreaming and light another one... Big hug BioBuds

Well, not much has changed, so it's kind of like 'same same but different' around here. The plants are still vibing, doing their thing, just with a little more oomph this week.

Used real growers recharge for the first time as directed with RO water Day 13 first watering with RO water ph to 6.3

Beve come una Ferrari ogni giorno 1.5 litri . Cresce forte i rami sotto sono un po' deboli per poca luce ma purtroppo lo spazio è poco ed ho paura a defogliarla troppo .

Going onto week 2 of flower! These were taken dec28, so day 8 of flower. So far looking fine though a bit dehydrated. This one definitely is water hungry now and needs to be watered every other day now. We'll see how she comes along into the next few weeks. D6 of this week (d13 of flower), and we can start to see flowers coming in a teensy bit. We are still watering every 2 -3 days. On D7 we did a slightly premature feed of the flower girl fertilizer.
