Bruce Banner Fast Outside

I got some seeds called Bruce Banner Fast from a local seed bank. The ad for them said they were not auto's but grew as fast as autos. 7 weeks to flower. It is one of 3 Auto's I have growing now so I thought it was ok to post it here. This is my first time growing auto's. The pics, attached are over a period of 6 days from when the seed went into the soil. It is in a greenhouse until I deem it is time to go outside. The only reason it is inside is due to stray cats and a newly made bed for it. It will be planted about 30 ft away from where it is now. It has been fertilized with Plant Prod boost since the seed was planted at a ratio of 0.4G/L water. So would you consider this fast?

Seems normal, don’t fertilize a seedling.

I would consider it average bordering on nutrients way to early
You can't make it grow faster by overfeeding
But you certainly can fry leaves later on as it matures

Thank you for the replies. Like I said this is my first time with Auto's. This plant only got started due to another plant I had turned out to be male. I have 2 other Auto's a White Widow and Dwarf Low Flyer that were started a few weeks ago but then ran into some very cold night time temps (below 50). I am sure it set them back a bit. As for the fertilizer I am using it is Plant Prod and the chart that they have is for Auto's grown inside a tent. I talked to one of the people there and decided that following the same formula for an Auto outside as opposed to under controlled lighting conditions should be fine. The chart that they use calls for Boost during the first week then moving to Growth up until flower etc. For many years I operated a lawn and garden service and had my licenses for fertilizer and chemical use for weed and insect control so I know a bit about what I am using. I believe Boost to be no more that something anyone would use such as Stim-root when planting clones. Tomorrow night I will up load a picture of the plants.

First pic is Dwarf Low Flyer. Pic 2 is White Widow pic 3 is both plants and the Bruce Banner Fast. These plants have had all the lower fan leaves removed. I was first going to put the Bruce in a pot outside but am now thinking of using a 5 gal. grow bag instead outside on the deck.

Bruce Banner Fast went onto a growbag today. I also changed the nutes from Boost to Grow at .4 G/L water. I am using the same for all plants 3 Auto's 1 white widow photo and 2 OG Kush bag seeds.

Bruce Banner seems to be growing right along. 3 days after going into the soil see pic1. Nutes are now .4 GR/950ml. I know it is not as fast as indoor but so far I am happy with it.

So here she is at 9 days in the soil

Ran a royal queen peaches and cream fast last season outside . It’s not an auto just a fast beginner. It began to flower 2nd week of July here in southern Ontario.

Well we are in the same zone. I was looking at the White Widow today and she has started to set bud sites. Thanks for the reply.

So here is Bruce Banner at 5 weeks + 1 day. Photo could have been better but I did not want to remove the fan leaves yet. I did top it at 5th set of leaves and it is still on Plant Prod MJ Growth (12-8-26) at 1G/L tap water. The strings are my attempt at training.

So here is Bruce Banner at 7 weeks 5 days. Should be going into flower very soon. If you can zoom in you see the limbs are reaching the end of growth. Sitting on the bench in the greenhouse she is almost touching the roof glass. I may have to lower her to the top of a 5 gallon bucket. And that is after heavy training of the limbs.

here is some bruce banner auto fems about a week or 2 from harvest. they are currently 10 weeks old. your plants def dont have the auto traits.

I believe that you are correct. The seed pack says Fast but not Auto. She is getting bigger than I thought she would. I may have to move it out of the greenhouse and onto the deck. Also above I said that the other plant is a white widow auto in fact it is a Northern Lights Auto.

Fast strains are cross between Auto and photoperiod. Fast carry the quick finish trait and not the auto trait. So instead of 60+ days flower most are around 45. Fast still require dark of 12 - 14.5 depending on sativa/indica dominance

Ok. I have no reason not to believe you and it also looks like that is what the plant is doing. I thought that it was going to go into flower soon but by the looks of it it is not ready to do that at all. It is already closing in on the roof of the greenhouse. So I guess it is going to go on to the deck after the rain.

Thank you for that advise. I had assumed that it was the same as the Dwarf Low Flyer and she was done in 11 weeks. But obviously it is not. She has added 6 inches since I moved her to the deck. I am still training it away from the main stalk. The pic was taken right after I had bent the limbs.
