Strongest Hulk In Town! - Bruce Banner #3 Seed Grow

[Wastei]

Looking better this morning! Some of them were lighter in weight meaning they will soon need three feeding a day or a transplant. There's two "mag-hores" (sorry for the terminology) that ask for more Magnesium and is more pH sensitive compared to the others. It's a little hard to tell but one of them is bottom right. Still no real deficiencies. The good thing with sensitive plants is they are faster to tell if you're doing a good job or not.

Feeding to runoff! 500ppm / 1.0 EC at pH 6.5.

Morning and feeding to runoff! They're getting lighter and lighter at first watering and asking for more feedings, they're ready for transplant and flower. I have a lot of branching I can use for clones. Taking cutting in the upcoming days.

Cheers!

I twisted and broke all the main stems again to encourage lateral growth. I do this every third day.

Current feeding schedule is in the morning at 6:00, 16:00 when I get back from work and 22:00 before bedtime. They're starting to get big and asking for more feedings. They're getting lighter and complaining slightly about going to dry between waterings. Nothing mayor, they're just a little sensitive.

Don't be afraid to overdo light distance when increasing power on the LED's, letting the plants grow into the light. I've increased to 350w and will probably not run any higher than 400w this run.

They're acting like Sativa's but looks like stout Indicas, very interesting. They will probably pop up and be vigorous at flip. I need to locate the SCROG net and transplant to 1 gallon pots, take two cutting of each, setup irrigation and do the flip this weekend.

Redoing the wires and adding switches with LED's tomorrow.

Early morning feeding to runoff. 400ppm / 0.8 EC at pH 6.0. If I mix the solution in the morning I set it to 6.0 because I know it drifts upward for 24h and then settles to later go down slightly in pH.

I try to compensate and adjust for that drift in hydro. In DWC it's a common practice to set pH to 5.5 and let it raise to 6.5 before adjusting and I use the same mentality growing in Coco coir. Either up or downward drift depending on what's going on with the medium and nutrient solution.

They like the extra heat from upping wattage on the LED fixture. I mostly raised it since it colder locally and its harder to keep the tent at optimal temperatures.

Cheers!

Looking great W, really starting to take off. Pretty color too.

Irrigation day! Just need to solder a molex contact and connect the 12V power supply, timer and feeding hoses and we're up and running with the new irrigation! I installed switches to be able to turn them on and off individually.

Updating as I go along.

 

[Wastei]

I didnt find the power supply so I moved around a little bit in the tent instead. Humidifier going out and another runoff tray added. I will find that power supply tomorrow, now I'm exhausted!

Cheers!

 

[KeithLemon]

Very nice plants Wastei.

 

[Wastei]

Finally found the power supply and got it working! I need to move the switch board a little bit to the left to make room to mount the power supply on the back. Setting up hoses and doing final work and testing tomorrow.

Sleepy time! Cheers!

Very nice plants Wastei.

Thanks guys! Some final work before flower but I start to see the finish line! I'm tired of watering by hand three times daily. Soon I can keep a bigger reservoir going!

Cheers and thanks for following along!

 

[Greenvein]

Nice work on the switch board too never thought of using one of my old comp PSU will you still have a timer or just control the pumps yourself?

They are very reliable and can deliver more than enough power for what I need. I will use the same timer as last time. A aquarium timer that you can set down to seconds. A simple solution but works! I'm not looking forward to setting up the hoses for irrigation today, I hate these style hoses but it's what I was able to find on short notice. They'll work but are a hassle to work with.

Posting pictures as I go along later today.

Cheers!

Pump switch board module officially completed! Made from repurposed materials that were going to recycling. Maybe I'll make some sort of case for it in the future. I need to fixate the feed rings and need to go and find some hooks/fasteners for that in a couple of hours.

Soon to be done, just transplant and setting up hoses and we're all done for flower!

Cheers!

Nice plants, you really LTS and work you grows or just BB#3, see, I have Darkheart or Jason Haulk's seeds from Premium membership @ not-mentioned. Anyway I am enjoying your grow to help me with mine. So, grows like Sativa's but more Indica leaning? SS following

 

[Wastei]

Happy to have you follow along!

They Grow like a Indicas but are sensitive in terms of food and pH like sativa's. Doesn't like that heavy feed, picky girls.

I twist the main stems on different internodes every third day to make them bush out. Kelp also help to bush them out with all the plant growth regulators.

They're going under SCROG net when flower comes.

 

[SSgrower]

Thanks for the heads up, light feed schedule, what Ph as I run 5.8-6.3 in Coco & perlite, 3 gals. I feed light mostly anyway, over time my run-off is a lot less as well. Experience is a great teacher, only took couple years of Dry Vac daily to figure it all out. I hand water 8-11 plants in a perpetual setup.

 

[Wastei]

The feed rings that I made. Probably transplanting today.

Soon up and running!

Edit: Fuck ran out of hose! Ordering 50m this time! In a couple of days it is!

 

[Wastei]

Humidifier out and dehumidifier on! They keep their own environment and humidity in check at this point. They're growing fast and transpire well. Looking and praying for the light.

I think I already have a keeper and I hope she performs well in flower. Some have already gotten the pre-ax but need to confirm that I don't miss out on anything special by killing them before end of flower.

Ordered hoses for this run and another two three. It's a good practice to throw away all the old rubber irrigation hoses when you're done with the cycle. I'm preparing the cloning tray and need to take cuttings in the upcoming days. There's a lot of "salad green" growth that's good for rooting.

Hope everyone is doing well!

Cheers!

Your plants look great Wastei.

 

[Wastei]

Your plants look great Wastei.

Thanks Keith! It's hard to keep all of them 100% happy with the same nutrient mix but they're are doing alright. It's gonna be easier next run with two very similar phenotypes.

You're following the UPS van eh? Looking forward to see you start up again! Hope the sunflower seedlings are doing well!

Cheers and all the best!
