She is beautiful!
Seeing her purple blooms and healthy green foliage sprinkled with frosting seems a solid protest to the autumn browns, greys and reds outside. A strong sweet smell wafts from our greenhouse across the yard.
The days are certainly getting shorter. She gets about 9 hours of direct sunlight but certainly the intensity is decreasing daily. I am thinking 3-4 weeks to go, but time will tell.
Decreasing nightly temperatures are in season, dipping below freezing each night. I have been steadily increasing the water storage volume in the greenhouse and have a dozen more surplus buckets headed my way soon which will certainly help to buffer indoor temperatures overnight.
For feeding, just the ocean mix and surge plus set to 6.0-6.25 pH.
Hi—- best to use two kinds! Alternating every other day if you have an infestation or twice a week for prevention. I use citric acid based — Dr Zymes and essential oil based —- Athena IPM—- both are fantastic! Don’t cheap on IPM. It’s expensive!✌️🏻💚🌿💨
Congrats, and yes that’s late in the year for Alberta so your greenhouse certainly works. I’m in Edmonton at 53N which means the UV light drops quickly after mid-August. So mid-May to mid-August is the optimal season with temperature being the limiting factor for spring outdoor and weak sunlight limiting before it’s too cold in the fall. Outdoor in Alberta is challenging but two of the three winners so far of Fast Buds best outdoor contest are from here. 😎 Cheers.
@Inganjawetrust, Thank you! Great seeds, a couple different phenos in my bag thus far, and this purple one is the most stunning.
Thanks for checking out our grow.
