GrowDiaries Update: Blütewoche 7 – Bruce Banner im Gewächshaus Titel des Updates: Das 2-Meter-Monster: Brutales Blüten-Stacking ohne Topping! Der aktuelle Status: • Genetik: Bruce Banner (Phänotyp zeigt perfekte Sativa-Vitalität mit extrem kompakter Indica-Blütenstruktur) • Reifestadium: Ende Blütewoche 6 (gezählt ab den ersten sichtbaren Härchen) / Beginn Blütewoche 7 • Abmessungen: Höhe: 2,00 Meter | Spannweite: 1,60 Meter von Seite zu Seite • Fläche des Blütendachs (Canopy): Fast 2 Quadratmeter reines, dichtes Blütenmeer im Scrog-Netz. 🔎 Detaillierte botanische Analyse für dieses Update: 1. Das Fundament und die Struktur (Die „No-Topping“-Methode) Das absolute Geheimnis hinter der enormen Vitalität dieser Pflanze liegt an ihrer Basis. Der Hauptstamm wurde nie beschnitten (getoppt). Dadurch blieb die natürliche Apikaldominanz der Pflanze komplett intakt, und die inneren Leitungsbahnen wurden nicht durch Narbengewebe blockiert. Der Stamm ist über der Erde extrem massiv verholzt und gleicht einem jungen Baum. Es wurden frühzeitig lediglich drei starke Seitentriebe („Beine“) selektiert, die den Haupttrieb unterstützen. Um die Energie perfekt zu kanalisieren, wurden die unteren 50 bis 60 cm komplett freigeschnitten (Lollipoppen). Diese „Clean Zone“ hat alle unproduktiven Saugstellen eliminiert. Zudem sorgt sie im herbstlichen Oktober für eine perfekte Bodendurchlüftung, weshalb das Gewächshaus trotz Regenwetter im Inneren komplett trocken und schimmelfrei bleibt. 2. Das Scrog-Netz und die Flächennutzung Durch das Stütznetz wurden der Haupttrieb und die drei massiven Beine perfekt in die Breite gelenkt. Auf einer Spannweite von 1,60 m wurde so ein makelloses, horizontales Blütendach geschaffen. Die Lichtausbeute im Gewächshaus ist phänomenal: Da die Triebe perfekt im Raum verteilt sind, bekommen selbst die tiefer sitzenden Knospen unterhalb des Netzes massiv Licht und hängen voller frischer, weißer Stempel (Pistille). Es gibt an dieser Pflanze praktisch keine minderwertigen „Popcorn-Buds“. 3. Die Blütenentwicklung (Analyse am Zollstock) Ein Blick auf den Zollstock zeigt das brachiale Ausmaß der Blütenkelche: An den einzelnen Trieben zieht sich ein durchgehendes Blüten-Skelett über eine Länge von 40 bis 50 cm nach oben! Die Pflanze zeigt ein phänomenales „Stacking“ – die Abstände zwischen den einzelnen Blütenetagen (Internodien) existieren kaum noch. Die Knospen drücken sich jetzt schon gegenseitig in die Breite. Am Ende von Woche 6 sind die Buds bereits extrem fleischig und kompakt. 4. Harzbesatz und Pflanzengesundheit Die Blätter stehen perfekt im Saft und zeigen ein sattes, gesundes Dunkelgrün ohne jegliche Mangelerscheinungen oder Überdüngungssymptome. An den kleinen Zuckerblättern rund um die Knospen zeigt sich jetzt schon ein ausgeprägter, silbriger „Frost-Schleier“ aus dichten Trichomen. Die Genetik schlägt voll durch und verspricht ein extremes THC- und Aromen-Potenzial in den kommenden finalen zwei Wochen. Die Pflanze steht vor einer brutalen Gewichtsexplosion!

Going too switch plants too a 48x48x80 with two full spectrum 1000 watt defoliated last night

Like how things are going👌🏾 Also i top dressed dry amendments on week 1 flower so i’m just feeding water with a tiny bit of megacrop and fish shit

Day 42 Flowering and the frosty monster has paid a visit. The glistening of the trichromes when the light hits them right. The Red hot cookie looks so good bud wise and I am gutted to not have a full version to sample. The same with the sweet Afghani Delicious too. They should offer a few joints but that will be about their total. Amnesia Haze is absolutely stomping it now.. Her bud growth has been excellent this week and they started their swelling a few days ago. The Los at 60Lstruggled to keep the. fed so I have also introduced the shogun sumo boost and pk warrior 9/18. She has now got a lot of frost on her mains and sugar leaves but is till producing fresh happy white pistils daily. She has at least 2 weeks left tobswrll before the ripening starts. Her buds are rock solid to touch and give off a fruity/diesel terpene smell. seeing her many mains and the beautiful buds she is producing now is a welcome site. She has spread out excellent for the lights footprint and seeing all those side branches become such full mains is a relief. I love this strain to grow so far . Seeing how well she stacks up for long colas is an inspiration for future grows and certainly a new growers dream 1st grow. She is an hungry lady and easily takes the full 8L of feed every other day with just a touch of run off. I plan to do a controlled drought for approx 8/9 days at day 49 amd then a last feed before harvest following. There is a lot of study results to suggest this increases thc content and oils similar to stem splitting and other methods , so I thought I would give this a go too. Lets see how it works.... Be safe

I'm still waiting to see less clear trichomes on the buds, carefully allowing the pot to dry before watering, and feeding just bembe and big bloom this week. I found my last pineapple kush harvest bland, hence the continued feeding after flush. This is the third week since flush.

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥❤️🤤

Semana de transición entre el abono para el periodo vegetativo (Bio Vega) y el abono que utilizaremos durante el periodo de floración (Bio Flores). El primero más rico en nitrógeno y el segundo, en fósforo, magnesio y potasio. Mezclo Bio Rhizotonic + Bio Vega + Bio Flores y riego con 50 litros de agua, todo el cultivo... Alterno riegos cada tres días, unos con abono y otros con agua. La próxima semana, elimináremos Bio Vega.

I supercropped the tall Enemy of the State branches that were in the light. As you can see In the video there was no light burn! We also have about 30” of light penetration even though I’ve not performed any defoliation! Loving these lights.

Week 1 Flowering: The Stretch is On! ​Update: We’ve officially wrapped up the first week of flower (Day 8 since the first 12/12 flip). The girls have really hit their stride and the stretch is in full effect—it’s amazing to see how much they’ve picked up speed over these past few days. Nebula and Caramba are looking strong, with that deep, healthy green color I love to see. ​Training & Defoliation: I’ve been heavy on the maintenance this week. I’ve done a solid round of defoliation below the ScrOG net to ensure maximum airflow and direct all that energy into the bud sites. Every now and then, I’m also plucking a few larger fan leaves from the canopy if they're shading the lower growth too much. It’s all about getting that light penetration dialed in from the start. ​Climate Challenges: It’s been a bit of a battle with the temps lately. I’ve been dealing with some heat spikes in the garage, which is definitely the biggest challenge right now. I’ve just made a major setup change—venting the exhaust directly outside the garage. It’s already showing signs of improvement, and it's a huge relief to know I'm not just recirculating that hot air. ​I’m currently running HPS, but I’ve got my eyes on the prize: a new LED setup is coming in 2-3 weeks. I’m confident that will be the game-changer I need to stabilize the microclimate. Just gotta push through this heatwave until the upgrade arrives! ​Current Vibe: Despite the climate hurdles, the plants are showing great resilience. They’re thirsty, happy, and starting to form those early bud sites. I’m keeping a close eye on the VPD and staying consistent with the feeding. Can’t wait to see how they fill out that net as the stretch continues! ​Stay tuned, more to come!

~ AirCube Active Oxygen Ebb/Flow System sponsored by GrowAce, featuring Strawberry Gorilla Auto by FastBuds ~ Well guy's and gal's here we go again on another exciting Autoflower run together! This time will be different as I will be doing a 'Hydroponic' run utilizing the AirCube Active Oxygen Ebb/Flow System by GrowAce, who were kind enough to sponsor me for this run, so it should be interesting to see what results I get and have some fun along the way! •Let me first tell you about this 6 Pot Ebb/Flow system from GrowAce: "The AirCube system is the one and only Ebb & Flow grow system on the market that combines the benefits of air pruning with a fully automated Ebb+Flow system! With the AirCube's proprietary fabric pot in bucket design, this system is guaranteed to outgrow any other Ebb + Flow system on the market. The results speak for themselves- grow MASSIVE roots that result in MASSIVE fruits! Air Pruning- Air Pruning only happens with fabric pots. As the roots reach the fabric walls of the pot, they penetrate and grow into the breathable fabric. Once penetrated, the roots are exposed to air, which causes the tips of the root to dehydrate and naturally prune themselves. This natural pruning process forces the roots to grow tons of lateral fibrous feeder roots. This results in a plant that utilizes the entire root zone and fills the entire pot with tons of roots. These fibrous feeder roots are incredibly effective in uptaking water and nutrients, resulting in a plant that grows healthier and more vigorously! Oxygen Benefits- Without oxygen, nutrient absorption cannot occur. On a molecular level, oxygen is needed to transmit nutrients across the cell walls and into the roots of a plant. With the AirCube's proprietary bottom lifted draining design, the system actively draws all of the water out of the bucket pulls vital oxygen into the root zone. Maximum Versatility with Any Grow Medium: The AirCube System is the only system on the market that allows you to use any growing medium you like. Use coco coir, soil, peat moss, perlite, vermiculite, hydroton, rockwool or any other medium you wish! This system is the most versatile Ebb and Flow bucket system in today's hydroponics industry. Temperature Control- with the fabric pots constructed with highly porous polypropylene fabric, heat dissipates easily and effectively. Unlike standard plastic pots, heat isn't trapped in the root zone. Heat in standard plastic containers can reach temperatures of up to 125 degrees. When this type of heat is trapped and unable to escape, it can damage your plant's health and limit the potential of your harvest. Growing in the AirCube System, plant roots grow cooler, healthier, and more vigorous. Largest Pots in its Class- this system features 5 Gallon grow buckets, the largest pot size of any other ebb and flow hydroponic system in the market. Modular and Expandable- start with 6 grow buckets and expand up to 36 grow buckets with the optional 105 gallons PopTank reservoir!" For my medium and nutrients I decided to also switch things up from my regular Organic runs, going with Plagron Nutrients and Root Royale 70/30 Coco/Perlite. When filling the fabric pots with medium, I first added just under a gallon of horticulture perlite from Nor-Cal as a base layer to ensure good drainage and then filled the remainder with the Root Royale. •Now for one of my favorites, and award winning strain from my friends at FastBuds... Strawberry Gorilla Auto: I'll be running Strawberry Gorilla Autoflower which is a 55/45 Sativa/Indica Hybrid. "ATTENTION ALL! Due to our continuous efforts in evolving our breeding process, we are proud to confirm that our Strawberry Gorilla Auto has now become one of the most potent autoflowers in the world! Paving the way to our recent success where she ranked on top & brought home the gold at the very first American Autoflower Cup in California. Moreover, she proved that not only modern autoflowers can compete with photoperiods, but they can even beat them in their field. At the most recent edition of the Farmer’s Cup and competing against various photoperiodic strains, Strawberry Gorilla Auto took home the title of 'Highest Combined Terpenes' in the highly sought-after 'Home Grow Hash' category, with an impressive 97.163 mg/g total terpene content! Our exceptional genetic selection's crowning Strawberry Gorilla Auto strain is a spectacular hybrid known for producing yields of up to 600 gr/m2 in 70 days. This is a very manageable grow that can reach heights of up to 150 cm - due to its magnitude we recommend it for more experienced growers, as a huge plant may be a little overwhelming for first-timers. This show stopping sativa heavy hybrid is perfect as an all day smoke, producing a taste bud tingling, pungent berry and diesel terpene-rich flavor combo that leaves you with a grin from ear to ear, a perfect choice for those looking for a day-and-night autoflower!

The #2 plant continues to be ahead of the other two, and is really frosting up nicely. The #2 and #3 plants look pretty crappy, and after examining some other plants in the tent I've got a good idea of the issue. The fabric pots that the plants are in are supposed to 'air prune' the roots, preventing them from growing outside of the pot, and instead growing a large mass inside of the pot. I pulled one of the pots from its bucket and it was disgusting, with rotting clumps of roots in the bottom of the bucket along with some nasty looking brown slime. The fabric pot also had roots growing out of it, along with that brown slime across the bottom of the pot...ugh! 12/1- Tomorrow I'll be doing another drain/clean/fill of the reservoir, after which I'll add Plagron Cocos 'A' & 'B' along with Green Sensation and Royal Rush. After adding the nutrients I'll ph the solution to 5.6-5.8 @ 70℉. 12/3- Yesterday I did the drain/fill and continue to have the Plagron nutrient level at 800ppm. The #3 plant continues to struggle, but nevertheless is flowering away and actually has pretty decent trichome production, which I wonder if the stress she's experiencing has an affect on either positively or negatively. 12/5- There is four weeks of flowering for the Strawberry Gorilla's. Although they sure could look a whole lot better, they for sure could look way worse. Hopefully, they'll start to look a bit better in the upcoming weeks... fingers crossed! 😎🤞 💚 Thank you for checking out my passion in life! Please visit as often as you wish and I hope you enjoy this journey as much as I know I will! Grow what you love, Love what you grow!💚

This week she has thrived immensely and continue to grows each day. I have only given pure water because of the excess nutrients she received last week. Looking well so far, perhaps a but of defoliation needed in the next week or so.

Great climate, ideal. After careful consideration, valued the considerable size of the plants, the flowering stage and the yellowing of the bottom canopy , I decided to feed one last time with veg nutes at half dose. This will be followed by 2 waterings of water only and then a boost of flowering nutrients. I love this strain. She's blooming very well, quickly just like she was growing indoor. For a couple of days it has been emitting an extraordinary citron/diesel smell and now becomes to be sticky. Expected harvest time: 3rd/4th week of September. Thanks for following, I ❤️ you

Hello. this is the end of week 7 and the beginning of week 8 of flowering. Things are going great in here. The tent has a great smell,... of sweet citrus. Got the thermal camera out to show some not seen heat. The buds under the light are hot. This is the last week of nutrient. I like to flush for the last 2 weeks. So expect to see some yellowing of leaves, for the last 2 weeks. I flush because the smoke tastes better if I do, than if I don't. It take less time to cure too, if I flush. OK. Be Cool. Chuck.

2020-07-27: full watering. (water only) 2020-07-28: Nothing 2020-07-29: Nothing 2020-07-30: full watering. (water only) 2020-07-31: Nothing 2020-08-01: Nothing 2020-08-02: full watering. (water only)

Finally I took some pictures of them and goddamn I am loving the look of theese girls so far💚😍

Everything still looking good

Her buds have fattened up very nice!!! Almost all her pistols have changed colors and curled in. I hope im not to late, but this week will be her last feeding then good ol plain ph'd water until she is ready to chop. She smells so strong of cookies and cream and gas⛽ she is going to be a decent yielder but an even better smoke!!! Super easy plant to grow. Super stoked with 420 fast buds!!

She's finally looking like she is close to finishing. I have cut back on watering and nutrients. She is finally exuding a wonderful fruity aroma. As you can see, she is beginning to sparkle with trichomes, both on the buds and leaves. I pruned back the remaining fan leaves in order to allow her to put all her energy into the final bud production, as well as to allow more light inside the canopy. The description said this White LSD should finish between 8 & 10 weeks. I could be wrong but, I believe she might go into the 11th week before it is time to harvest. The trichomes are approximately 20% cloudy as of today. Until next week, enjoy!
