First Time Doing Photos: 4 x Bruce Banner #3 Under Mars-Hydro FC-E6500!

[casuallyhobo]

Nice set-up, this is my 2nd grow with autopot and my plants explode with growth. These photos are going to take over your tent.

That what I'm hoping for!

Upgraded to this setup in the hopes of being able to get around 1kg finished product from each grow, but i know it might take a few grows to dial everything I'm and get it correctly.

This is my current grow with the xl autopot. Gelato kiss in a 3.6by3.6 tent.

Looking like it is coming along nicely!

Here's my Bruce banner auto in 5 gallon pots in Coco pearlite and worn castings getting real close to harvest. I'm not disappointed.

 

[casuallyhobo]

Damn! That is what I'm hoping for with mine as well!

 

[Triple R]

Praying for you bro. It was an experience. 4 plants all identical. Germinated same time same Coco same pots lights nutes and all 4 seem a week behind the one in front of it and the first one turned purple. And by age the "younger" it looks the bigger it is. The younger us almost 12" taller than the youngest.

If i get 4 of those monsters i would count myself pretty damn lucky!

May i ask for how long you vegged them, and what training you did to them? I'm thinking I'll keep mine vegging for 3-4 more weeks to really fill up the tent. They are 25 days old as of now.

I am also wondering if i should go the route of mainlining them, or just stick to LST as it is my first try at photos, but i have a couple years of auto's under my belt.

These are autos also. I put seeds right in the Coco in 5 gallon fabric pots . They started to flower in about 30 days. Under vivosun 1000 led. The flower started slow but about 3 to 4 weeks into flower they took off like crazy. A lot of stretch and I'm having 12 to 14-in colas I will definitely run them again probably my best auto grow to date are these Bruce banners.

 

[casuallyhobo]

I'm considering doing an BB#3 auto run as my next one just to compare the difference between them and see if doing photos are even worth it. But then again im also waiting for my 10 cookies gelato seeds from Royal Queen seeds to arrive, so maybe after I've done those.

 

[Triple R]

That'll be a good experiment. I'll be looking for that one. I'm waiting for girl scout extreme autos to be here any day, along with gorilla glue autos. Gonna run 2 of each.

 

[casuallyhobo]

That should be a good one for you! I'll make sure to keep updating my future grows here as well. If nothing else it would serve me as a good way to compare my results and progress.

Emptied and cleaned the tank, the trays, tubes, fittings and aqua valves today. Also flushed the tubing's.

Good thing i did as there was sediment from (i suspect) the nutes i was using before i switched to the advanced nutrient series.

Was planning on topping them today, but the light is going off for the dark period just a few minutes after I finished, and i don't want to stress them too much right now, so Ill do that tomorrow.

Btw, if anyone could let me know if i should top before or after the daily dark period i would appreciate it.

 

[casuallyhobo]

I went ahead and topped them. Have to say i was nervous as i have never done this before, but here they are less than 2 hours later looking as happy as ever!

 

[casuallyhobo]

Hello everyone.

So my plants have started to show some issues, and i was hoping someone here could help me with what the issue is.

The leaves are starting to pale, and are not looking as good as they did before i topped them.

Has anyone experienced this and would be able to help me to identify the issue and how to deal with it?

 

[SmokeyB]

Looking good are they autos? Here's my banner autos about a week from harvest. One's turning purple. I'm in Coco also running advanced nutrients A&B

Hopefully there soon to be sponsor here I use there nutes to there good

 

[casuallyhobo]

Seemed to have been issue with overfeeding, so i reduced the amount of nutrients in the reservoir. Also added a bit of cal-mag in there today, half of recommended dosage.

Did some LST on them as well and they are looking happy, but i would like to have seen them a bit bigger for 29 days since sprout.

Nice setup will be lurking
Just about to chop my banner.

Thank you!

I love the look of your BB auto's and will definitely be keeping an eye out for how they turn out as i am considering doing an auto run with some BB auto's after this finishes up just to see the comparison in yield and quality vs time spent on the grow.

Fem the one i got going mate beast of a strain given the chance..

What is your expected yield per plant from your grow?

Best i did in my previous tent was a little over 100g per plant when running auto's, but that was under two Vipraspectra reflector 900w lights.

My end goal with the new setup would be 1kg finished product per grow, but it will take me a few tries before i manage that i suspect.
