This week the Bruce Banner autos really started to show what they’re made of. All three phenos are moving deeper into mid–late flower now, and the differences between them are getting more obvious. Bruce Banner #2 Still the most advanced girl in the tent. She’s building the thickest buds out of the three, stacking really well and showing the strongest early frost ❄️ No issues at all, super stable and consistent. Bruce Banner #3 This one really took off this week. She made a huge jump in growth and the buds are getting heavy enough that one of the branches is starting to lean a little 🍃🔥 The smell coming from her is amazing: sweet, citrusy and a bit chemical, very “Banner-like”. Bruce Banner #1 She’s finally stabilizing again after her earlier issues. Her leaves turned yellowish/red due to a previous deficiency, but honestly it gives her a cool, colorful look now. I gave her extra nitrogen (CalMag/N) + did a light flush, and she seems to be responding well. She’s back to focusing on bud development. All three plants got a quick follow-up defoliation just removing some missed fan leaves to open the canopy more and improve airflow 🍃💨. Watering: #1 → RO + CalMag + extra N + one flush #2 + #3 → RO + CalMag only Environment: Temp: ~24–25°C RH: ~55% PPFD: ~1000–1200 under the SE5000 Smell getting stronger every day: sweet lemon + chem 🍋⚗️ Overall, a solid week with good bud swelling, increasing frost, stronger terp profile, and the first signs of buds getting heavy enough to need support soon. These Banner girls are definitely heading toward late flower now 🌸❄️💪

A plant with both standard cellular respiration (occurring throughout the plant, including leaves and stems) and adequate root respiration will have a significantly higher ATP throughput than one restricted to only general cellular respiration in a limited way. Cellular respiration is the fundamental metabolic process that occurs in all living plant cells (roots, stems, leaves, flowers, seeds) to convert glucose into usable energy (ATP). It requires oxygen and produces carbon dioxide and water as byproducts. Root respiration is not a separate type of respiration, but rather a specific instance of cellular respiration occurring in the roots. Roots absorb oxygen from the air spaces in the soil to fuel their energy needs. Roots require a substantial amount of ATP for essential functions like nutrient and water absorption, as well as growth and maintenance of their tissues. The primary form of respiration in healthy plant roots is aerobic respiration, which is highly efficient, yielding up to 30-38 ATP molecules per glucose molecule. Anaerobic Respiration (Inefficient): If roots are deprived of oxygen (e.g., in waterlogged soil), they switch to anaerobic respiration, which is far less efficient, producing only 2 ATP molecules per glucose molecule and also generating alcohol, which can be toxic and kill the plant. Therefore, a plant with healthy, oxygenated roots performing efficient aerobic respiration in addition to the rest of the plant's cellular respiration has a much greater overall ATP production and energy capacity. A soil without organic matter will generally have a low Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC). Biochar is often prized for its potential to increase soil cation exchange capacity (CEC), but this effect is highly dependent on the specific properties of the biochar (feedstock and pyrolysis temperature) and the soil type to which it is applied. High-ash biochars, especially those produced at lower temperatures and applied to acidic or sandy soils, can significantly boost CEC by providing abundant binding sites for cations like calcium (Ca²⁺), magnesium (Mg²⁺), and potassium (K⁺). Biochar is more sustainable than typical organic matter for long-term soil improvement primarily due to its high stability and resistance to microbial decomposition, allowing it to persist in the soil for hundreds to thousands of years. This longevity provides a lasting positive effect on soil properties, particularly by increasing the cation exchange capacity (CEC) over time, while regular organic matter breaks down much faster. Biochar generally offers a much higher CEC than coco coir, though specific values vary greatly; while coco coir might sit around 40-60 cmol/kg, biochar can range from tens to over 200 cmol/kg, with sources like Acacia wood biochar or even coconut shell biochar often surpassing coco's capacity due to its porous structure, creating significantly more cation-binding sites for nutrients, making it superior for nutrient retention. Needs to be charged similar to coco but at a much higger rate. But shhhh.. It's a secret. Ancient biochar-rich soils in the Amazon basin (known as Terra Preta) provide evidence of carbon stability lasting over 500 to 2,000+ years. Recommend a balanced ratio of key cations, particularly calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), and potassium (K). A widely accepted general "ideal soil" cation saturation ratio is approximately 65-85% Ca, 6-12% Mg, and 2-5% K. That's roughly what I give mine. Can even add N in its NH4+ form

VT16 – 12.10.2025 Die Pflanzen entwickeln sich insgesamt eigentlich ganz gut – vielleicht etwas langsamer durch das Topping, aber im Großen und Ganzen bin ich zufrieden. Leider habe ich bei zwei Pflanzen erste Mangelerscheinungen festgestellt, und zwar einen Cal/Mag-Mangel. Ich vermute, dass durch das Gießen nach dem 1/3-Verfahren ohne zusätzliche Nährstoffe die Reserven doch schneller aufgebraucht wurden als gedacht. Die Erde ist außerdem noch relativ feucht bzw. im mittleren Bereich, was das Nachgießen etwas erschwert. Trotzdem habe ich mich dazu entschieden, vorsichtig rund um die betroffenen Pflanzen etwa 650 ml Nährlösung zu geben. Ich bilde mir ein, schon erste Verbesserungen zu erkennen. VT17 – 13.10.2025 Heute habe ich bei allen drei Pflanzen die vier Außentriebe mit Pflanzenhaltern weiter nach unten fixiert. Das habe ich in früheren Runs auch so gemacht und damit gute Erfahrungen gemacht. Man hätte eventuell noch etwas warten können, da die Fixierung jetzt ziemlich nah am Stamm sitzt – aber ich denke, das ist halb so wild. Alles in allem bin ich mit der Entwicklung zufrieden. INFO: Ich habe die beiden Pflanzen mit den Mangelerscheinungen nach dem Düngeschema der dritten Woche gegossen – mit Ausnahme von Cal/Mag, das ich um 0,5 ml erhöht und an meine Wasserwerte angepasst habe.

This week will be the last of the 18 hours of light. When the little ones have settled in on the increased light intensity. If the cycle is changed to 12/12 and then the wattage of the lamp is turned to its maximum of 300 watts. Gradually, of course. More on that later. I hope they will show their gender during the week that the bloom can be initiated. Day 67: It is time for the first flowering phase. Plant 1 shows the first characteristics of the flower or rather it becomes sexually mature. If the others follow suit this week, it is the last week of growth. Instead of cutting out the big leaves, I spread them out under the net. In this way, the light also reaches the lower shoots without stressing the plants during sexual maturity. We don't want to provoke misfortune. Day 70: 10 weeks of Vegetation. I think it's time for Bloom.

Day 45-52 (Day 46) I just realized I forgot to zip up a small flap in the tent for at least 5 days or so. This probably made the added co2 useless. All the plants are slightly clawing and almost look overwatered, which is normal for plant at this stage but I wonder if the lower co2 levels are contributing at all. I couldn’t help myself today and did a small defoliation. Hopefully this doesn’t stress them out too much. I took about 15-20 leaves per plant. I really want some of this larf on the bottom fill out more. Even by 10-15%. (Day 47) Wow. I just noticed that #5 is putting on a thick layer of late frost. I’m guessing this has to do with all the mid flower feedings. Unfortunately the density on this girl lacking big time. Especially on the lowers. This could be genetic but there is too many variables at play to say for sure. If this stuff smokes proper I will continue to feed in mid flower. Plants are really starting to fade out here now. #3 in particular has some odd red coloring in a few of the leaves. (Day 48) I watered in 2 gallons on each plant making sure to get some decent runoff from each. Sucks that #3 didn’t fill out. The genetic potential was definitely there, something just went awry after that tea I gave it. I have at least 2 or 3 clones of that I will try outdoors. It’s been a very P hungry plant too. The stems were purpling like crazy, even in veg. Some people say this can be fixed with a microbial product like Mammoth P or Tribus which I might try for my next grow. #6 isn’t really filling out much either unfortunately. Tops look decent but everything under that is pretty leafy and airy. #1 and #7 are the clear winners here. #1 especially is picture perfect. If I wasn’t working on another project after this I would clone just #1 and run another scrog like this from clone. (Day 50) I was plucking some leaves today and I found a confirmed banana sticking out of one of the main colas on the stubby pheno. I didn’t defoliate this one too much so I wonder if it was caused by stress at all. I hope I don’t find anymore because we only have 10 days left here. (Day 52) My family member trimmed up the m39. It looks super scraggly but has some decent crystal nonetheless. That’s partly why I would never use an amazon blurple for flowering. It just doesn’t have the same canopy penetration that a light like mine does. Although for a budget setup they’re pretty awesome.

I'm taking a break from recording and posting daily timelapses. Going for surgery in a few days. Will have help but not to document.

After vegging the plants for a few weeks I transplanted them to the flowering tent. They will stay in veg a maximum of 1 more week and then I will switch them in to flower. I also added worms to the soil to keep it nice and airy and have a as natural grow as possible.

Having cal mag issues going to hit the grow store tomorrow am and see can I get some organic cal mag and see if that helps other than that no real issues 2/24 I’m going sit my dumb ass down and chill I did a defoliation and man I over did it I think it’s pretty aggressive and i don’t know what I was thinking I was just clipping away 🤦🏾‍♂️…… anyway got some calmag for the color issues only going 1/2 tsp see how that goes hopefully when the new growth and more stretch happens it’ll look a lot better I’m also bottom feeding the calmag hope that works too
