The Vault Bruce Banner Auto - A Bit On The Side

The Vault Bruce Banner Auto

All through my last Blue Dream Clone grow, I had a Bruce Banner Auto from The Vault [thanks George] on the side
Haven't paid it much attention so it isn't a specimen, just let it do its thing
Now it is alone in the tent so I'll try to beef it up a bit - pretty plant

She needs watering, now

How do you beef your buds up

How do you beef your buds up

In early flower for one week they get max strength nutes, PK13/14 and seaweed, then revert to 2/3 strength A/B only
Seems to give them a kick-start - I used to use PK much later in flower but this way seems better with autos
Also, because I use small pots, I can dunk the entire pot to maximise uptake
Watering by hand, each pot takes about 1L to run-off but when I dunk, each pot soaks up about 1.5L

Note to self - Bruce Banner requires a large root space
No matter how much I'm feeding, yellow fans moving up the plant
I'm adding a few drops of PK plus extra CaMg to try to pump up the buds before all the solar panels fall off lol

Lovely long creamy white flowers

Hi @con
I usually harvest a bit earlier than most, but I'm gonna let these go until they are pretty much dead because I've run out of jars and cupboard space

Bruce Banner Auto wants to foxtail, no sign of flowers fading
Finishing this by starving and slightly droughting, eventually the leaves will fall off leaving just bud to ripen
A few days in and the terpenes are getting stronger

I have now realized my timer is slowly losing time so the light period has been gradually moving approx 1 minute per day earlier, so whereas it was set for 9am to 9pm, it's gradually drifted to 8am to 8pm during the bloom phase

That shouldn't be a problem should it?
Reason I ask is because it is taking longer to finish than it should - could that be a contributing factor do you think?
Hit me with any theories

 

[Melville Hobbes]

This is why I never trust timers.
I don't really know how it could influence the time it takes for them to finish, since they'll flower with less than 12 hours dark.
That's not to say it's not a factor, I just don't see how.

I'm not sure - given that plants think the lamp is the sun, it's as if I'm moving them 200 miles East per day?
