Purple Quest Candidate #7

My last week update been lost because of a Growdiaries bug (emotes). So this week will be a resume of 2 weeks. Pretty sure I'll forget some details. 🛠️ FEEDING ADJUSTMENT 🛠️ ---------------------------------- During the second week of flowering, I fixed a calcium deficiency by adding Cal/Mag, by providing a small amount of Cal/Mag, in the form of seaweed & coccolite Bio lime. At this stage, only 2 plants out of 4 were concerned. In a couple of days, I saw the benefical effect of it: The two plant reacted super well and the leaf yellowing process been stopped. They also looked to get dense faster than the 2 others plants. So I decided to provide this source of cal/mag to the two remaining plants. So after all, it seems that my soil wasn't rich enough. That make sense, since it's a reused soil. I tried to improve the soil quality by adding compost in it, but it was definitly not enough. Luckily I had this cal/mag solution available. I'm verry amazed by how the plant reacted so quick to it. Leaves not too damaged started to get a better color, buds were fattening faster, and new leaves looks verry healthy! ⚠️ LITTLE LST MISTAKE LEADS TO A BRANCH PARTIALLY SPLITTED ⚠️ ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- In my previous grow, I've experienced the break of a branch, because of an excess of tension with my LST, performed during flowering. Plants branches get harder and less flexible during flowering. By applying too much LST at this stage, it's easy to break something. So my own rule is to never touch my LST setup when flowering started. BUT now, I'm facing a new case 😁 One branch of one of my four ladies, splitted because it had not enough tensions 😅 Basically, one side of the plant is kept in place by applying tension on main branch, plus the two sides branches. Without noticing it, I lost tension on the main branch. So all the tension from the two sides branches forced the central branch to split... To fix it, I applied tension back on the main branch, and made a node with a string on it, to prevent it to splitt more. This was more than 10 days ago, this doesn't slowed the plant, and I can't see any difference between the two sides of the plant. My new own rule regarding LST will be: Don't touch LST when flowering have started, but make sure it stay in place. 💜 COULD I ANSWER TO THE ULTIMATE QUESTION: IS SHE THE ONE? 💜 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- I have one goal since I started to grow, back in 2020: Find a specific taste, that I call the "Purple taste". Long time ago, I met this specific taste 2-3 times in multiple countries. So here we are... This genetic is my 7th attempt. I'm not sure guys. I don't want to draw hasty conclusions... She have a strong fruity/sweet smell. It make me think to some fresh applejuice! I never had a plant with a so fruity smell. So it's going to be an amazing smoke, that's for sure. BUT, as some of you may know what it means: she's probably not the right one. The 4 plantshave the same strong apple-juice smell, so I believe this is a stable genetic, without "hidden jewels". Maybe the smell and taste will evolve to something totally different. I never grown what I'm looking for, so I may be wrong. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜 Thanks for reading 😊 See you next week for the first week of flowering! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
