====== PURPLE QUEST / CANDIDATE #7 ====== After the Blackberry (Fastbuds), the Blueberry Auto (Pevseeds), the Purple Kush auto (Buddha Seeds) and the Legendary OG Punch & Sherbet Queen (Royal Queen Seeds)... I'm introducing the #7 candidate for this Quest where I'm trying to find a specific terpene profile I smoked 2-3 times in my life. Often described as the "Purple taste", I found it in flowers labelled as "Purple Kush", "Sunset Sherbet" and "Purple Diesel". But since I'm growing, every attempt to find that Purple taste were fails. I believe this terpene profile might be associated to Mendo Purps strains. That's exactly what this new candidate is about: focusing the Mendo Purps traits from American purple strains. I'm verry excited about this one! Wanted to try it for so long! Planted seeds directly in soil. saw them sprouting 48h later. 100% success rate... Like always.... Still wondering why people mess with other counterintuitive methods... I'm going to love thoses babies! Good care, main-lining, LST (but not too much!), still going to use Biobizz product line, and and and...... A BRAND NEW LIGHT!!!!! ====== SETUP ====== LIGHT: New LED growing light (veg/flowering) : ViparSpectra®️ XS2000 I will be testing this new light during all the plant life! It's taking less power input, but provide a better light spread with Samsung LM301B LEDs (way more efficient!). So this is way enough to make me enthusiast about it. Better LEDS, better spread, cost less. PERFECT. For now, I can already say that it's also releasing less heat than my previous light. I believe the driver is also more efficient. FEEDING: I will feed the plant with Biobizz product line again. I'm having better and better results, plants after plants. So there is still lot of room for improvements on my side, before thinking to replace it 😅 I had a look at another Canna Nutrient brand, probably the biggest in US. But I learned that this brand been market forbidden all over EU, because of... issues with it's content... Soooo I'm fine with Biobizz for now 😄 POTS SIZES: I'm going to transfert the plants to 16L pots later on. And not 30L like with my 2 previous diaries. I'm growing 4 plants there, so I need to keep them a little smaller than when I was growing 1 or 2. PLANT'S HARVEST: I'm aiming harvest at week 14-15, instead of 18-19. Basically I would start flowering at week 6. I'm trying to shorter my grow sessions to be abble to review more strains until I find THE one. Well, finally guys, please wish me good luck. I already tried 6 others strains, this one NEED to be the one :) It could be my christmas gift! Please Purple come to me! UPDATE DAY 7 : Damn I hate those Pots! Already came to that conclusion before. Not fabric pots, which is totally a good choice. But the size of the 2.3L Root Pouch pot is too high and not wide enough. It make watering more difficult. The first half of the pot seems to dry verry too quickly. I should cut them, get them shorter to be honnest. Beside that: Today should be rainy!!! I'm going to water plants with rain today!

@PurpleWorship, nah, they are good, i don't care so much about couple spots on first leaves ;) you have to try products, to understand what and when, failure is success sometimes too !!!
PurpleWorship
PurpleWorshipcommented3 years ago
@AsNoriu, It was important to me you like it, because you made me realise previous ones were not that great. I really appreciated this feedback, because i didn't noticed the problem, and I been abble to improve my pictures after that. I'm verry verry sorry about your bad experience with leafcoat :S Why did you applied it that early? An emergency I guess.. :S ? I only used it way later, when plant well grown. Each time I'm applying a product (like black soap), I'm pre-spraying my plants, so leaves drink as much as they can, and then when it's dry, I apply the product. Anyway dude... I hope they'll recover :/

@PurpleWorship, ;)))) i am not your nasty Spanish teacher ;)))) All the best in your adventure, hope you'll find that taste in those girls ! I have tried to use LeafCoat on youngsters, 8th day, got burn, even after first application during first night. Be cautious with it, i know you like the stuff ;))

That purple taste you are referring to I found the perfect cannabis from stones coffee shop in Amsterdam around 2009. It was a blueberry x a reversed purple kush. In my top 3 ever smokes for sure if not too 1. I think a purple kush x blueberry strain is what I would be hunting if trying to replicate that quite rare mix of terpenes.

@PurpleWorship, grand daddy purple is on my list to grow funny enough, I was looking at the version from the originators grand daddy purple seeds which had a similar description to what I remember from 2009. They also had them in regular which is another plus point in my opinion being more stable than a feminised strain. I think that would be a very good chance to finding that terp we crave, also sell them in fem too. I think medical seeds also do a Mendocino purple kush in fem which I have pondered buying a few times over the years but I got caught up in the hype of these new over hyped low yielding hemi prone strains😂 in fact the only hype strain that I found stood out was barneys runtz muffin which with the right pheno looks crazy (several examples in my diaries) and hits like a truck but again low yielding and hemi prone if you even look at it funny while in the grow room😂 In the UK we had purple haze around 1996-1997 which had the first type of purple taste arrive which I wish I had some seeds of but like many other fantastic strains from years ago that genetic pool seems missing from today’s market. The cookie crosses have done as much bad as good for the cannabis connoisseurs in my humble opinion. I will be sure to follow your diaries and hope you find what you are looking for my purple hunting brother👊

Good luck finding your purple bro! I agree on the pots, I've got some lavender I started in them and they fall over or are just super awkward to water! Wider is better! I use 3 gal pots but thought I'd buy 5 gal measure 3 gal and cut the excess pot away (fabric obviously), giving me the extra vertical space and making watering a little easier 😝
PurpleWorship
PurpleWorshipcommented3 years ago
@InspireMe, I tried corriander in it too, and miserably failed :D It need way more attention than with other pots, because it just accelerate water dissipation. And also, there is not that much plants that would benefit from a so deep pot that tight. Carrots maybe XD? Weirdly designed to be honnest.

@Mrs_Larimar, Damn I were is my first answer!? I was saying that I was calling her "my pretty Ugly" so I think it's totally fine :) My pictures are good when I get plant outside, under sun light. But I can't make decent photos in the grow tent... The light spectrum is messing with my camera so much lol. "I really like your grow-description and your thoughts." Thanks :) I'm trying to share interesting thoughts without going crazy with data / techy details. I'm glad you find it appreciable :)
