8 weeks / 56 days today. Growth has slowed down a lot this week luckily. Smell is getting really hard to contain now. Sticky orange buds still nowhere near as big as purple skunk but definitely a bit fatter than last week. Purple skunk buds are getting a lot fatter. Both are really sticky to the touch, looking a bit frosty close up and can see plenty of trichomes. Little bit of leaf burn but not a lot I can do because of the space issue so just tucking the branches and leaves as best I can and moving the lights around a bit to minimise it. Watering between 1 and 1.5 litres every other day and they are soaking it all up. Increased to 3ml per litre of nutrients too. Humidity has been a lot easier to keep under control this week and hasn’t risen above 60 all week so I am happy with that. it’s been a worry for a few weeks. I had a real panic this week when I thought I saw seed sacks forming at the base of each branch. But after hours and hours of reading, I am pretty sure they’re calyxes. No intentional defoliation this week but I’ve accidentally snapped a couple of fan leaves whilst watering. I really need a bigger tent! Would love opinions on when you all think they might be ready for the chop. Comparing to other diaries I still think I’ve probably got another 6+ weeks but I’m daring to think about how/where I’m going to dry them out. I’m pretty sure purple skunk will be ready first so drying in the tent will be a no go.

Greetings, my fellow gardening enthusiasts! Welcome back to the enthralling tale of my magnificent Purple Lemonade FF, now stepping into Week 3 of flowering. Oh, what a week it has been! Our botanical beauty has graced us with a visual spectacle like no other, displaying breathtaking colors on her budding flowers. Prepare yourselves for a vivid portrayal of purples and a promise of abundant trichomes that will surely leave you in awe. As we entered this week, the grow space became a canvas for Mother Nature's artistic flair. The buds on our Purple Lemonade FF have adorned themselves with a mesmerizing array of purple hues. It's as if a painter's brush lovingly caressed each calyx, leaving behind strokes of violet, lavender, and magenta. The sight is truly a feast for the eyes, and I find myself captivated by the sheer beauty that unfolds before me. And speaking of trichomes, oh, how they have begun to emerge in what promises to be an extravagant display of resinous abundance. Like tiny glistening diamonds, the trichomes pepper the surfaces of our budding flowers, and I can already envision the sticky goodness they will provide. Our plant is gearing up to gift us with a treasure trove of resin, delivering not only remarkable aromas but also potent delights. Now, let us delve into the technical dance of VPD — Vapor Pressure Deficit—and other environmental parameters that contribute to our Purple Lemonade FF's thriving state. Picture this, once again: the VPD is now at a delightful 1.12kPa, ensuring that the dance floor of humidity and temperature remains in perfect harmony. This ideal atmospheric balance is like music to our plant's ears, allowing her to perform her floral symphony with grace and flair. As for the nutrient dance, our TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) level stands at 630 ppm, and the pH level is at a lovely 6.3. With these parameters, we have provided the perfect nutrition mix for our purple queen to feast upon, enhancing her growth and floral production. Oh, but what about sleeping conditions, you may wonder? Fear not, for our beloved plant enjoys a restful slumber in a cozy environment where the temperature dips to a comfortable 24 degrees Celsius. Like a peaceful lullaby, this nighttime coolness helps her recharge, ready to burst forth with vigor and vitality when the lights come back on. In the grand tapestry of our garden, Week 3 of flowering is a symphony of colors, trichomes, and favorable environmental conditions. Each day is a chapter of wonder, as our Purple Lemonade FF continues to enchant us with her growth and beauty. As we watch her petals unfurl and her trichomes flourish, we find ourselves eagerly awaiting the day we can savor the fruits of her labor. Dear companions, let us bask in the radiant beauty of our Purple Lemonade FF and celebrate the magic of nature's artistry. As the days pass, I promise to keep you updated on this extraordinary journey, where colors and trichomes dance in harmony, and our purple queen reigns supreme. Once more, I express my deepest gratitude for your unwavering support and enthusiasm. Together, we traverse the wondrous world of cultivation, reveling in the joys of nurturing life and witnessing the miracles of Mother Nature. Until our next rendezvous, may your gardens flourish and your passion for growing remain evergreen. As always, I extend my heartfelt gratitude to each and every one of you for joining me on this enthralling journey.

Expect an extremely enjoyable high that boosts your mood while deeply relaxing your whole body and getting rid of muscle pain. This meticulous cross produces up to 550 g/m2 of some of the most beautiful purple buds, with pinkish and reddish hues that will catch everyone’s attention. The beautiful purple buds are ready for harvest in 7-8 weeks and come hand-in-hand with unbelievably sugary citrus terps that are just as refreshing as a cold lemonade on a hot Summer day. It’s the ideal variety for the sweet-tooth stoner seeking strains that deliver both in quality and quantity of resin. Bud Description Purple Lemonade FF grows chunky, spade-shaped buds that boast a whole range of pinkish-purple hues with rich, dark orange pistils shooting out of every direction. This variety stands out for the, oftentimes, lilac trichomes that give them a gorgeous pink tint and make for outstanding purple concentrates. The buds give off a delicious tart lemon aroma that reveals a sweeter, more fruity scent as you break the buds open. Definitely a must for flavor chasers and those looking for pungent terpene profiles. Smoke Reports Purple Lemonade FF offers an effect that’s just as unique as the flavor. Expect a potent uplifting high that gives you that energy boost you need to get things done while 100% happy and stress-free.

This is an excellent all-day smoke as it not only increases energy but can also help combat chronic pain, migraine and stress. Plant Appearance This feminized photoperiod variety develops a thick and strong structure, growing a medium-sized main cola with multiple shorter side branches, typical of hybrid strains. Purple Lemonade FF develops fairly short internodal spacing with gorgeous purple buds growing stacked on top of each other, making it the perfect choice for growers of all levels looking to get lots and lots of top-shelf purple weed, as this variety can produce up to 550 g/m2 in a 7-8 week flower cycle. Grow Tips This is a super fast feminized photoperiod version that takes approximately 7-8 weeks to flower with a 5-week vegetation cycle,, this means you can have faster harvests by shortening the veg cycle or have a longer veg cycle for bigger yields. Purple Lemonade FF (Fastflowering) makes for a great candidate for growers of all levels as it’s a vigorous strain that will thrive with basic maintenance both indoors and outdoors. This is a resin powerhouse so make sure to have your trim bin close by as all the resinous sugar leaves will make for the most mouth-watering hash and extracts. Flavor Expect a long-lasting citrus zest that taste just like it smells. Purple Lemonade FF reeks of a delicious blend of sweet fruits and tart citrus that’ll make your mouth water. On the inhale, expect sour flavors that taste just like lemon candy with hints of orange and a really subtle earthy background. And on the exhale, the citrus flavors open up, giving place to a more sugary berry fruitiness that leaves your whole mouth tasting like an extremely sweet weed-infused lemonade.

May 21st - start of week 8 flower for the A.G. & C.G., they have their own deadlines approaching so there will be some pics shortly of the trichome status on all 3 plants. - a week behind the other 2; BlueGod has a shorter schedule and is under the spotlight now that its been flushed - a/c & dehumidifier are now in service and I will be getting the bugs out of the system re: “limits” with fans, temp & humid targets, heaters etc. - just giggling about how beautiful all if this bud is. Something has gone incredibly correctly this grow. *** FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER THERE ARE NOTHING BUT REALLY SOLID NUGGETS ALL OVER THE PLACE !! That, is a first - flushed plant will receive waterings w/ Rezin & Molasses till harvest. -going to push a.g. & c.g. with one more big feed tomorrow. ~ 6L ea. May 23rd, - often i make little comments about how small each of the plants are; and 1 of the key reasons for that... is that I only Vegged the plant’s for 5 weeks, and then still controlled height with HST... these plants are and have been an amazing grow, but next time they get Bigger b4 the Lites go Out !!! May 24th, Trichome images required a little bud from each plant. And the Acapulco & Colombian plants are the furthest from harvest, but both did show a few Amber trichomes. Together I shredded the 2 (a.g. & c.g.) buds and put them in a hot dry place for the day. After dinner and on a whimsy i rolled them up & did I ever get stoned/baked from a couple small buds from the adolescent plants. Famous but young, and did they ever Kick. That was so inspirational from a couple of legends. Cannot wait for a special harvest and a critical cure ! May 25th, the number of Amber trichomes on the Acapulco absolutely lead it directly to a flush on Thursday evening. End of week 8 in Flower. Hopefully the amber sweep is not too aggressive, it would be nice to milk this one along until the leaves are golden... - And of course, the Colombian is just Soo damn full of crystals. Clear crystals with equal amounts of Cloudy ones and a flash of Amber on the Fringes. CG gets flushed in 9-10 days as per the schedule. We’ll see what happens May 27th, - woke the Acapulco Gold up early and gave it a good shower ~ started its day early with 24 gallons worth. The feeding ingredients above are still the same for the Colombian Gold - 2 Flushed plants; will be fed as required with water containing 2ml/L Rezin & 2.5ml/l Molasses

Greetings and salutations GD peeps. Let the peaceful transition of flower begin! It is the first week of flower and the scrog is filling out nicely. I had some issues with a GFI popping and my lights would miss a few hours in the 18/6 light shedule over the last week. Rather than stress them any more than they already have been with the mini blackouts I flipped them to flower this week. I also changed the circuit the Tent was on and it seems to be consistent. A massive feeding this week for early flower, I bumped the bloom by 2 ml/gal on top of the normal feeding chart. My rational is I have topped these ladies and there are far more bud sites than before, will see if it has any effect + or - I have also done some selective defoliation to promote light pentation to the lower bud sites that have branched out from the topping 2 weeks ago. I have a small number of LEDs on one of my lights that have stopped working. The light an older amazon Chinese cheap O has 85% of the lights working. My footprint of the tent to the w/sqft is with in range. I have read and heard 35-50 watts per square foot of area as a general rule is good. now you can get in to PAR and lumens etc. but that's a whole different conversation. The light might be why the GFI was popping? I will figure that out after the grow. for now its all about FLOWER POWER and the scrog fulfilling its destiny. peace ya'll be kind to your fellow humans and hybrids.

Day 49 Since the last update, the plant has only shown very slow signs of recovery. There’s a bit of fresh growth appearing in the center, but overall it remains weak and far behind expectations. The leaves are still drooping, though not quite as badly as a week ago. The pale green color persists, with some areas still edging toward yellow. This shows the roots are still struggling and nutrient uptake is limited. The heavy topping has given the plant a wide, flat structure with many bud sites, but at the moment it can’t take advantage of that shape. The potential is there, but growth is stalled by the stress it’s under. Watering has been kept very cautious — smaller amounts with longer breaks to avoid waterlogging. The medium was allowed to dry out thoroughly before watering again this time. Even so, the plant seems to be putting most of its energy into recovery rather than active growth. Compared to the other plants, this one looks “stuck.” Because of that, my expectations have shifted — I now see it more as a learning project. The new strains I started alongside are doing much better and give me confidence for this run overall. For now, the focus is still the same: no extra stress, no experiments — just steady care, patience, and time

6ta semana comenzó el 22/07/2019 esta vez hicimos poda de bajos por la humedad de la ciudad así puede circular mejor el aire y controlamos la presciencia de hongos, no lo queríamos hacer por miedo a la producción final pero las nenas reaccionaron muy bien y se noto en como comenzaron a engordar y a crecer sus flores, en realidad como que lo agradecieron, también esto ayudo a que le llegara mejor la luz a las ramas mas bajas. Esta vez sumamos al riego los productos de floración de Top Crop en sus dosis bajas (Top Bloom, Top Candy) ya que algunas estaban presentando carencias de Fósforo y Potasio.

July 26: Mimosa Shot has mostly caught up to the other plant in the wagon and they are now the same height. Did a fourth lazy compost tea. See video explaining how I make it using things like blackstrap molasses and Epsom salts both of which are cheap and easy to find at the grocery store. July 29: nice and sunny today. Plants look great. July 31: defoliated inner fan leaves and small lower buds. This ‘lollipopping’ saves the plant from wasting effort on small buds that aren’t going to amount to anything. Also improves air flow and maximizes sunlight on the remaining buds. Added a round of Gaia Green seaweed extract when watering (label says once every two weeks). Aug 1: Plant is showing red petioles and there is a blue-ish tint to the leaves both of which are signs of P deficiency. Added another round of 50/50 malted barley and Power Bloom as top dressing.

Ok so i had a bad week super high humidity im using a small dehumidifier that is helping a bit .. The plant is still growing strong but i cut a lot of leaves to avoid any mildew in the tent . The plant still smells great and is very citrus smelling . The constant rain and humidity has been a very difficult issue but she seems to be doing very well right now so im staying hopeful ..
