Purple Lemonade Auto

This week was a breeze. Watered with 7.0ph water for the first few waterings, then slowly worked in 6.5ph water. I fed 1/4 of a gallon water/ FF big bloom mixed at 1.8ml/gal today on 6/17, mostly to wet the rest of the dirt and as well as get it moist down low, I used a manual pump sprayer! Next watering will be just water at 6.5ph. Will see how it does going forward. Recommendation was 15ml for seedlings on package label so I decided to start with 1/8th of that. I can also see the first true leaves taking form, they are small, but visible. Be back next Thursday! 😎 Edit: My numbers are messed up, but I use 1ml of calmag EVERY watering, and 1.8ml of big bloom every other watering. As of 6/20 the big bloom dosage was increased to 3.7ml/gal and I incorporated grow big into one feed at 0.6ml/gal

Didn’t really see much growth in week two, not compared to some photos I’ve saw of purple lemonade, but I believe the cause of that for me, was overwatering. Definitely got it figured out, fabric pots are confusing for a first time user. 🤦‍♂️🏽 Also seeing some nice purple on the leaves, haven’t saw that on any photos at this early of a stage so it makes me slightly curious 🧐 Also tomorrow 6/25 makes the start of week 3 so I decided to up my dosage of food since the previous weeks food didn’t seem to cause any harm. I went with a feed today (6/24) consisting of 15ml/gal FF big bloom (1/4 of recommended dose) 2ml/gal tps calmag, 3.6ml of FF grow big (1/4 recommended dose) Looking back on it I probably should of went with 1/8 dose to ease the plants up. But we will see how it does. Ppm was roughly 548 and ph 6.4 this mixture was also spread out between 5 plants. 2 gallons of this mix was used in all.

Getting better growth but I’m pretty sure at this point I stunted the plant. Decided to start doing LST yesterday and it was a noticeable difference overnight. So I got a little more aggressive with my LST tonight (last four pictures) in order to feed more light in to make up for what I can.

Finally starting to see this one stretch for some light! Didn’t think she would do too good. Hopefully she continues to bounce back. Definitely won’t be making the 9-10 week window but it’s ok! 😎

Everything is on autopilot now, the growth is becoming rapid. Wasn’t really expecting to see this plant get as big as it has due to how it started but it surprises me more and more everyday. It started to preflower on 7/12.
