Hello Growmies, As the ninth week unfolds in our garden of Green Marvels, the progress within the Bruce Banner x White Russian enclave is both varied and compelling. These plants, though not as advanced in their flower formation as their neighbors in the expert setup, display a delightful dichotomy in phenotype expression—one slightly more robust and stockier, and the other more elongated and statuesque. The images tell a tale of two phenotypes: the first, with its compact stature and vigorous bushiness, hints at a dense, prolific bloom. Its sibling phenotype stretches upwards, reaching for the light with a more open structure that promises an elegant spread of flowers. Both exhibit the genetic resilience of their lineage, adapting with grace to the environmental conditions they've been bestowed. This week's introspection reveals that while they might be on a slower trajectory compared to their counterparts, the Bruce Banner x White Russian variants are steadily catching up, thanks to our nuanced care and the recent installation of a supplementary intake fan. This addition has had a pronounced impact on our control over humidity, ensuring that these beauties are not left wanting for an ideal microclimate to thrive in. Observing their developmental stages, it's clear that these plants are still in the throes of their vegetative saga, with budding sites beginning to manifest promise. It’s an exhibition of potential—every leaf a page, and every stem a chapter in their botanical biography. The stockier phenotype, in particular, has commenced a subtle show of budding sites, while its lankier sibling boasts a rich spread of foliage, its vertical ambition a prelude to the flowering fanfare to come. The contrast between the two is as educational as it is fascinating, offering insights into the diversity within a single strain and the influence of phenotype on growth patterns and potential yields. We continue to adapt our approach, taking cues from their individual needs, ensuring that both phenotypes are not only nurtured but celebrated for their unique contributions to the grow space's tapestry. Our anticipation grows with theirs, as we look forward to the unfolding of their floral narratives, each an ode to the meticulous care and environment we've curated. We remain vigilant, adjusting our strategies and environment to align with their growth stages. The investment in our intake fan is indeed paying off, keeping the air fresh and the humidity levels optimal, which has been instrumental in maintaining the VPD within the desired range. The Bruce Banner x White Russian plants, through their sheer leafiness and the early formation of flower sites, are giving us every reason to believe that they'll mature into a bountiful harvest. The difference in their growth habits adds a layer of diversity to our cultivation experience, making it all the richer. In closing, while the Bruce Banner x White Russian plants may march to the beat of their own drum, they are in no way lagging in their capacity to amaze. With the added support of our enhanced climate control, they're on a clear path to success. Here's to their continued prosperity and the anticipation of their full glory. Stay lifted, Salokin

Stopped feeding this week. I'm pretty sure they should be ready to chop in a week or 2. I hate looking at them with my microscope so I've gotten pretty good a judging when they are finished. I love ILGM. They always come thru with solid genetics!!

Time goed fast and this plant is growing beautifull buds that grow bigger day by day and i can't wait for this one to be done. four days ago i started adding the flower booster to the mix to get the buds nice and thick the development of the flowers is going great we have one plant with a very long stem and that one is turning into a big main cola pretty fast and the smaller nuggets are developing really nice although not all the plants look that good the flowers that they produce are perfect and i thing this is going to be my best yield from under this light i can't wait to find out i grew Spliff seeds in the past and got a great yield of those plants and it looks very promising besides adding the booster to the mix i did some defoliation last week this was the last time untill harvest to not overstress the plant That is all for now check out the pictures and the video Cheers, Nibameca

Beginning of week.. Mandarin Cookies seems to be a little ahead.. I've been watering till runoff every 2 days.. Seems like I could even go 3 days in between with better results.. More oxygen to the roots.. And I just read on GWE website that overwatering can cause seedling leaves to be kinda.. Wavy 🌊 ... I always just shrugged it off.. But I would also get algae on the top of the medium.. Always just shrugged it off.. So wtf.. How do people use frequent fergigation?!?.. 6 times a day?!? That's insane.. Maybe in like 20% coco 80% perlite or some shit.. That's just crazy to me tho.. This run, I'm gonna do the best I can to make everything as perfect as possible.. I have been testing the runoff.. I water till I get alot of runoff too.. Like 1L of runoff.. So when I test it, The TDS is coming out great.. Just where I need them to be.. Infact they are both hovering about 20 PPM from eachother.. Awesome.. But the pH has been going in a 6.3.. But coming out at 6.0 and 5.9.. This is reused coco.. Mixed in with some coco/perlite I premixed a few month before.. But never been used.. So my goal is to get the runoff pH the same as it goes in.. Sometimes I have to run water at 6.5 pH just to get it to bump up a little.. So I may have to do that. It's still in a good range for the ladies.. And it should help bring the pH inside the medium up as well.. And hopfully STAY where I need it at.. But as for now.. I am cutting out the Floralicious Plus.. The MYCO+ has all the same shit.. So I am going to use the MYCO+ for veg and Floralicious Plus in flower.. Makes better sense to me.. But yeah.. These girls already have a different branch and leaf structure that Ive been seeing lately.. They are beautiful! Lol.. Oh yeah.. And I have also lowered the light down to 26" from the ladies.. Keeping it at 25% power.. They weren't stretching too much as far as I could tell.. I'm wanting them to grow into the light about 18" - 20" still keeping the power at 25%.. See how that works out.. I'm trying to avoid using 50% power until flower for now.. To help keep the heat down.. This light doesn't get very hot.. But the warmth it does give off and the size of it does kinda help the tent stay a little warmer than my smaller lights did in my 2x2 tent.. It was eaiser to control the heat I guess.. Plus I could probably upgrade to a 6 inch exhaust fan while running a carbon filter.. But I am very excited to see what these girls do! Mid week.. Runoff pH is still a little fucked off. This morning I ran water pH'd to 6.5 and the Mandarin Cookies runoff came out a 6.3.. But the ETHOS Cookies runoff came out at 5.8 still.. What the eff.. The TDS is good.. Going in and coming out.. Not sure wtf to do at this point.. Maybe just keep doing what I been doing.. But the growth on these girls is insane.. I cant wait till next week when the growth explosions happen! They are both already spitting out some nice, promising branches. I got a cheap PAR meter coming in tomorrow.. I hope it works as well as the $500 meters.. But these plants are looking good... for now.. Almost end of week... My PAR meter came in!! Hells yeah! So my light gets about 200 - 250 PPFD at 20 inches on 25% power.. This should be perfect for now.. As for the pH issue.. Ugh.. I'm gonna just have to run some 7.0 thru the medium or something.. So frustrating.. The Mandarin Cookies is showing some slight pH fluctuation spots on the lowest leaves.. I also removed the first set of leaves and branches.. They were just waaay too tiny.. Now she doesn't have to waste energy on them.. As for the ETHOS Cookies.. She's showing alot less pH issues on her leaves.. Some.. But kinda hard to notice.. This is really frustrating.. May ask a question for this grow... End of week.. The Mandarin Cookies seems to be getting the wavy shit.. Ugh.. Just the very bottom leaves.. But they are also beginning to yellow in spots.. I think I need to up the nutes a bit.. They are already beginning their growth explosion! I love this part.. Everyday you can notice alot of growth.. And eventually, you can sprout 1 set of leaves a day! The branches are sprouting out quite a bit as well!.. Its hard to not water every day, but every 3 days.. I'm gonna have to go to watering every other day, I guess.. I can already see roots coming out the bottom of the pots.. Wow.. I may use some Hydroguard for a few weeks.. Just to help the roots even more.. The ones I see coming out the bottom of their pot are already MASSIVE and WHITER than white!!! I think this MYCO+ stuff really does some magical things with these roots! I just watched a detailed video on how myco (not even gonna try to spell it) spouts its own root.. Which finds the nearest plant root and basically takes root inside the plant root.. Which then spouts out its own root system and is able to get nutrients over 700% or 700× better than without mycorhizae.. Crazy.. And it even works in hydroponics.. Somehow.. Idk how.. Cuz I would think you wash away the myco with each water change.. Maybe not.. Again.. Idk.. But yeah.. Crazy shit.. Anyways.. Gonna bump up the nutes a bit and water every other day (water, feed, water, feed, etc.)... On to the next!...

Both plants are showing severe calmag problems, damn it's too late to do anything at all when you see it to this extent. (Day 50) calmag problems are getting worse. Watered 1.5l ph 6.5 (Day 51) Watered with nutrients. I measured the light intensity again today with a diffuser.all popcorn buds were separated (Day 53)

End of week 6, buds are tightening up nice! I'm not sure when to start flushing or time the harvest because all three plants seem to be maturing at different speeds. Still watering with full nutrients, PPM about 1000 ... Taken the nitrogen down and increased PK. Let me know what you guys think.

I'm using a 2x2x5 spider farmer tent and technically I start germination on 1/17/23 at 9pm and in the picture I'm using Rockwool but also a small pot with fox farm soil to hold it upright

OVERALL: ~ Very happy with the grow, I really dialled everything in well this run. ~ She grew super fast, I put it down to the constant oxygenation of the rootzone along with consistent and constantly optimized light DLI and leaf to air temp variance. The extra Co2 helped push the plant to its limit in terms of heat, allowing it to push its hardest. ~ The lack of HST and Defoliation I feel let it finish faster due to lack of stress and stunting. The faster finishing time along with the big yield and efficient MarsHydro light, it hugely reduced my electricity costs per gram and freed up space much sooner for the next plant. ~ Turned into a very dense bush of buds, there is even smokable dense buds at the base of the plant due to the under canopy lighting (Not as dense as top canopy buds but still decent) ~ Ran a thin line between stressing the plant and letting it flourish. The buds came out big and very dense, also it's hard to see on camera but they're very frosty too (Prob from UVB) YIELD: ~ 145g (dry) in just 9 weeks from seed. ~ 753g (Wet) ~ 0.91g/watt GENETICS: ~ MSNL - Gorilla Glue Auto ~ my favorite strain, as you can tell by my username! STRAIN REVIEW: ~ Heavy hitter, like an indica but has some of that "feel it in your face" sensation of a strong sativa. Not as heavy or as strong as other GG#4's I have smoked, which would make me question the genetics used to produce the auto version. I will wait till after a cure and judge it again. TRAINING: ~ No defoliation or HST (Bar last week for pics) ~ A little LST and leaf tucking but largely just left the plant alone to do its thing. I felt chopping healthy parts off the plant would slow the plant down and leave it with less chlorophyll to photosynthesize the light. ~ I did prune by lightly plucking dead leaves away, when the plant was ready to let them go easily. DRYING ~ 20/21'C 50% RH with air circulation. ~ Homemade Drybox made using: 2 x Bankers Boxes ~ 2 x USB Desk Fans ~ 1 x Carbon Filter ~ 6 x Clothes Hangers UPDATE: Day 5 after Harvest: ~ Fast dried some small batches, as we couldn't wait to sample. ~ Chopped off branches as some are down to 12% moisture whilst bigger buds are up at 18%. Moving to paper bag for couple of days to even moisture out then transferring to jars CURING: ~Curing in jars 3/4 full. ~ Dark closet/18'C/50% RH ~ Jars burped once Hygro passes 65% and sealed when it drops to 58%. ~ Stabilised it at 62% and after 2 weeks I'll drop it some more and stabilise it at 58% to bring out more of the flavour. ~Sitting in jars with Boveda 62% at this stage. ~ Already tastes and feels great. WATER: ~ Condensed (Starting at 40ppm) ~ Disinfected prior to adding nutrients etc. (Using COOSPIDER UVC - 253nm & 187nm bulb) CLIMATE: ~ Ambient Air Temp = 29'C ~ 28'C LST ~ Leaf to air temp variance of between 1'C ~ Night Temp = 22/23'C ~ Day/Night temp differential 6-7'C ~ Under Canopy Temp: 26'C (Day) ~ 21'C (Night) ~ Relative Humidity = 50-60%RH (Avg. 55%RH) ~ VPD = 1.45kPa (Avg.) ~ Co2 ranges from 900ppm to 1500ppm (Avg. 1200ppm) AIR PRESSURE: ~ Ambient Air Pressure (outside tent) = Mean Avg. 1010 mbars (101 Kilopascals) ~ Actual Air Pressure (inside tent) = Mean Avg. 1005 mbars (100.5 Kilopascals) ~ Air Pressure Differential = up to 0.5 kPa range between inside & outside LIGHT: ~ UVB (High intensity @ 45cm) ~ 2 hours daily mid light cycle. ~ Warm White 3000K/White 5000k/Far Red (660nm) ~ At plant canopy = PPFD 900-1000umols/s/m2 ~ Lux 45,000-55,000 ~ Daily Light Integral 55-65 ~ Under canopy lighting ~ Blue (460nm)/ Red (630nm) NUTRIENTS: ~ Mostly Advanced Nutrients (For base nutrients and most additives, as only company I could find scientific data on) ~ Canna (For Calmag Agent and Cannazym) ~ Plant Success (Great White Mycorrhizae) ADDITIONAL GROW TECHNIQUES: INFECTION PREVENTION & CONTROL: Infection control practices i.e ~ PPE, Alcohol Hand wash ~ Gray room outside tent, ~ Carbon filter ~ HEPA filter ~ Plasma Ionizer ~ Inline UV-C germicidal bulb ~ Also using an additional higher powered COOSPIDER (UVC) 253nm & 187nm bulb, to disinfect the gray room outside of the tent once a week for 30 mins. ~ Ozone (o3) gas that is produced using the COOSPIDER, is then directed into the tent to further control any unwanted pathogens. ~ Ed Rosenthal (Zero Tolerance organic pesticide), sprayed once a week as preventative measure. On hand for heavier use (Once every 3 days before lights out for 15 days) in the case of an outbreak (No outbreaks yet, due to aforementioned preventative measures)

Una cepa bastante fácil de cultivar,yo al preparar un súper soil a base de guano,ácidos humicos,bacterias,mi suero de lactobacillus casero,algas marinas y humus,tan solo regue con agua por lo que no tengo mucho trabajo en ese sentido,ademas tampoco le aplique ninguna técnica de entrenamiento cosa que me gustaría hacer si tengo oprtunidad de volver a cultivar esta cepa, sin embargo vi que empezó la floración siendo pequeña de tamaño,término dando una excelente porra central y algunos cogollos bajeros con los que me fui haciendo algunas infusiones con leche entera y también con aceite de oliva para no tener que recurrir al mercado negro y poder asi añadir mis canabinoides a mi sistema para poder mejorar mi lumbalgia y descansar mejor. El aroma es sencillamente exquisito,ha sido todo un placer cultivar esta cepa,lo malo es que es muy poco para mi ya que soy un usuario que necesita una buena reserva de cogollos potentes sobre todo a nivel físico que me ayuden a lo largo del año.muchas gracias y espero que os haya gustado mi trabajo, paz compañeros Canabicos! 💚✌️❤️💛🌱

Very interesting strain from Barney’s. Let’s see what kind of pheno can we pin from this batch. I have seen some crazy colorful ones. Terpene profile should also be super complex. Just think about it Gelato, zkittlez, layer cake, crazy mix.
