Mini Bruce Banner? flowering at 5w? Feedback

Grow Support Autoflowers

Hi,

We are concerned about this plant. It’s ILGM BB Auto.

We fixed the root during the seedling stage, but this seems to have cause stunt growth.

Is it possible that this plant, so small is flowering? It’s a week 5, but even if smaller, it’s already ahead of other plants.

What do you think about this plant? A mini Bruce? Is it going to make it?

Welcome to the world of autos. It’s not uncommon, the better the handling and environment the better the outcome. Not always the case, but usually. Some autos grow like photos. Hydro/aero is hard to nail down in cannabis, specially autos with limited recovery times.

Sometimes if you make scary faces at autos they will go to flower. Jump out and say boo, bet they go into flower a week later. :ghost: :japanese_ogre::rofl:

All jokes aside, going forward with autos stick with soil or coco. :call_me_hand:t3: they can really yield in short periods with proper conditions.

I’ve had the opposite experience of autos not flowering automatically.

It does happen @Bluntsmoke and you have to do the 12/12. Granted most of my knowledge of autos is purely from reading others experience. When I ran autos though (the one time,) I trained, lst, cropped, and got around a LB dry between 2 ilgm gorilla glue autos with fox farm happy frog and ff nutrients.

We are learning the hard way, however the 1st Bruce was good enough and potent. We will be careful next time not to scare the plants.

How is this plant going to develop ? Is it going to flower 1 mini-bud only?

Lol, totally joking about scaring them. Hahaha. I was just teasing, these little moments are worth enjoying. They don’t happen often. That’ll be the main/only cola on that little girl. But I bet she will be delicious. :clap:t2: all her heart is going to go into it.

I know , it was a funny joke. I should have put a lol to share the fun!
Now we understand how it works, autos don’t wait to recover! They just flower!

I’ll keep you posted in this mini-BB!
Let’s see if we can grow one small potent bud!

Have you ever seen a single bud plant? If not, well, it’s coming up soon, stay tuned!

Oh yeah it happens from time to time. Some strains are notorious for single buds. I know some growers that only grow for them in multiple containers. Similar to sea of green! :slightly_smiling_face: I hope you do keep us posted.

Best bet on autos is straight to soil from the germinated seed in their final pot. :call_me_hand:t3: I imagine they would do amazing in coco. They are finicky and actually more complicated than photos! So y’all dove into the deep end! Specially with mediumless growing!

LOL!!

This one did not want to grow so I hid it in a bush outside. It grew taller than the bush and started to flower so I brought it back in. It gave up a solid ounce. :+1:

It happens. Here’s a collection of early flowering autos from forum members.

@MidwestGuy thanks for sharing those pictures. I guess we’ll keep it flowering, let’s see if we can get one main, but mini bud.

Mini-Bruce : @ 45 days (6.5 weeks) since seedling.
Here is a new photo of mini-BruceBanner. He’s small but mighty!
Any estimate on harvesting time? Is Bruce ready?

Thank you ahead for the fun and for the support! This is not the best yield, but mini-Bruce looks awesome! Maybe some encouragment could help Bruce grow fat mini-buds.

To compare mini-Bruce size to 3 weeks old plants, see below:
