Week 1 went off perfectly, purples babies reaching WEEK 2!
😍 PRESENTATION OF THE LADIES 😍
------------------------------------------
The four plants are the same genetic. But they already have a different look, and I would introduce them to you :)
1) The Ugly - She have terrible first leaves. But she isn't late compared to the other. So I still believe in my Ugly!
2) The fatties - 2 of them grew wide leaves. It's just about leaves shape for now.
3) The solar panel - This one grew less wide but longer leaves.
Regarding the Ugly, I must say that for the 4 seeds, I had to manually remove the shell when they sprouted.
They all had their shell on after sprouting, and I don't like that. Probably a bit old seeds?
For now, they share the same needs, and seems all happy.
But this might change. I may even not be abble to recognize them, except if I cheat on them by putting labels on their pots ^^
💧 WATERING 💧
------------------
Luckily, the weather is offering some rains, and I been abble to put the ladies out under the rain during day 7 and 8.
Not that long, they still got watered on Day 8, some hours after the rain. With feeding for the first time!
🍗 FEEDING 🍗
------------------
First feeding. Used Fish-mix at 0.8ml/L. I plan to have a second watering in the week, but without nutrients. That's why I written 0.4ml/L in diary settings.
If you know me, you also know that I like Fish-mix, but that I'm also effraid of it ^^ As foliar later during veg, it's an awesome products, easy to see that plants love it.
But it seems verry powerfull, and need to be used carefully when given to plant. My rule is to limit to 50% of recommended dose. For now.
Anyway, Fishmix right after a rain must turn on every form of life in soil I believe 😀 Even life coming from rain.
🏡 GROWING CONDITIONS 🏡
-----------------------------------
Starting an indoor session on the end of summer seems a good choice for me:
- Some rains that provide me better water
- I can put the ladies out if verry sunny, to save electricity/money
- Perfect temps in the grow room. My house is always windows open. The growroom lightup in the end of the afternoon, when the day get cooler
- Plants will flowering indoor during winter. I need heat during winter, so thanks grow room :D And cold air mean verry dry air! So reaching low humidity on the end of flowering will be verry easy!
Pests : Nothing to report for now. I'm expecting a visit of my good old friends the thrips in 2-3 weeks 😎
Grow tent & Light (XS2000 ViparSpectra) : Something I notice just now: I'm abble to close the grow tent without air-extraction. I never been abble to do that in the past.
This light is waaaay more efficient, and produce way less heat, because I couldn't keep tent close with my previous Mars Hydro TSW2000.
Don't be effraid, I still renew the air in tent multiple times a day ;)

Update Day 13: Plants watered with PH 6.2 water. Look at that Hugly... She really have a problem 😅 I'll try my best with her 🙌
Wow! I really enjoyed visiting ur journals! Great work, I hope you’ll get a healthy grow with the best results and some delicious buds at the end. Keep on doing ur thing.
I will drop by some times to see your progress on ur grows! Happy growing and feel free to drop by anytime to say hello! Have a good day 😁🥦
Sounds like you're trying to catch some previous lightning in a bottle...but sure it's a worthwhile quest to be on!!! Good luck and hope you find the flavour you're looking for in here!
@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 !!!
@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 ;))
Sempre più belle amico, pulite e ordinate, ottimo lavoro, sei una di quelle persona che spinge le altre a migliorarsi, è bello venire a confrontarsi con i tuoi lavori, buona fortuna per la fioritura non vedo l'ora di tornare a vederla finita 💪🏻🌱 lavoro super 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
@Mr_Cannuccia19, Thank you.. I dont know what to say. I have a looooooooot to learn and understand. And I like to take my time. I'm also thinking the same with so much other growers on @growdiaries. This place offer us an unique chance to share and learn from each others... Thanks for this kind comment :)
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 😝
@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.
Following your Quest for the " Purple Grale"
but how can you call those little ones ugly tststs..... if they hear it😱
I really like your grow-description and your thoughts.Pictures are sharp and good aswell, keep that track!😍
I agree to the XS-2000, tent stays quite cool, no overheating
@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 :)
