1stGrow - Critical Purple - ViparSpectra

@homerjgangia, thanks a million. It should go off without a hitch. One is already fully out of the medium. Just waiting on the second.

@TragicTerps, I just updated it to week 8.. I changed to 12/12 couple nights ago ..yea there’s a couple pistils here and there..mainly on the main stem

@xTherapy_Growingx, very possible they could be photos, I just seen the pictures on your diary and it looks like it's trying to bud up and I seen some pistils on the lower branch pictures. Very curious nonetheless.

@TragicTerps, right I feel u I’m glad its taking long but confused cus I see everyone’s else’s critical purps flower on week 5..I just switched my lights to 12/12 I’m thinking I got photos here

@UKAgent47, thank you I was pretty upset I stunted them, but the quality was still really good. I appreciate the positive comment!

@@TenderBuds, thank you bunches, I learned a lot from the grow too. Applied the knowledge to my second grow later in its run and saved a yield.

@DoDrugs420, it was easy to manage and grow just wish the Temps wouldn't have gotten so high here it really did some damage and stressed them out. Pretty much made an auto go back to veg. Lol all is good nonetheless and I'm thankful for all the love on this grow!

@fraankiiee, good info I have noticed the Temps spike I can't do too much at the moment as it's in the triple digits outside and it's in my garage. But I'll do my best.

@Hootchman, the smell is amazing it smells like NOS Energy drinks and a fresh cut pineapple

@DIVINE_GROWING, thank you. For a first grow I feel I've had it pretty easy. Although the stem split and the pests early on sucked!

@spyder, thanks bud brother. Been doing great so far.

@Lacrima, thanks boss! I love growing. Super absorbed into it.

@DreamIT, thank you! This experiment is going really well hoping the harvest and end yeild is up to par.

@jkeats, no problem sorry I answered during the wierd server glitch time. Hopefully you got her fixed I'm swinging by now!

@TragicTerps thank you

@jkeats, yeah for sure. So I would say it ultimately came down to my medium. They did really well in an organic amended medium and were left alone after training. I made sure to keep the light schedule the same as a photo period and then checked the strains preferred climate and replicated it to the best of my ability. In early veg I had the light about 22inches at 85% shooting for 560 PAR autos tend to preflower week 4 or 5 and then you'll have to control that stretch by cranking up the intensity or dropping the light down. It was important for these ladies to get adequate dark period too. Be sure to check the strains preferred flowering environment. Outside all of this, I kept the medium at 5.6ph and watered in at 7.0 figured the balance would be 6 4 or so and I did stunt growth because of it. So if you have an acidic medium water in at a ph around 6.4 and that will do her. Outside of that it's just a matter of trying to truly replicate nature my guy. Cheers!
