Harvest is soon, probably 2-3 weeks left. Yes, this strain is quick to flower!
And guess what: I think it's time to finally tell you what strain it is!
✅ FINAL FEEDING ADJUSTMENT ✅
-----------------------------------------
I'm increasing global nutrients feeding, according to Biobizz Feeding recommendations.
Globally, from 3ml to 4ml for each products. Plants aren't growing that much new pistils this week. Still some, but it's noticably slowing down.
So, I may feed the plants only for 2 more weeks, and I'll start flushing right after that.
👹 "THE UGLY" IS SO LATE... .BUT STILL PROMISING 👹
-------------------------------------------------------------
Check-out pictures of this week, there is one picture of the Ugly.
You'll notice how late she is! She started to flower at the same time than the 3 others plants.
But she is just taking way more time than the others. She's not making my life easy, since I was planning to dry buds in the grow tent 🤣
So I'm not sure what I'm gonna do with her. Give her some more time in the grow room, and dry harvested plants in another room... Or harvest her verry early and make hash out of it.
She have a good buds production potential, but she smell absolutely nothing, compared to the 3 others plants. So I'm not sure yet what will happend to her.
🔎 PLANTS OBSERVATION 🔎
---------------------------------
I have the feeling that this genetic tends to "foxtail". It seems to be the same for the 3 plants (beside the Ugly, that I can't really describe yet).
It means that the buds grow a kind of tips, with new fresh pistils on top of the flowers. In the end, resulting in a longer cola, but less "thick".
I don't care about this, but I know It's an important parameter for lot of grower who wants good looking buds :)
They all have the same smell, which I describe as fresh apple juice. Growing at the same speed, same shape... It's a well stabilized strain.
🤷♀️ I'VE BEEN SAMPLING THOSES BUDS 🤷♀️
------------------------------------------------
That's not right... But yes, I did it :)
I'm out of weeds since months now, and... I wanted to get a little high 🤣
So I took one small buds from the bottom of one of the plants, and dried it on the hoven at lowest temp, with door open.
Not the best, but It does the trick. And that gave me the opportunity to taste it. Not in the best condition, but still I can say if she's the one, or not.
A fruity and sweety taste, as it smell, with no hidden "purple" taste. So I'm 90% sure it's not the one. 😔
Now, I can tell you what strain it is: Purple Urkle, from Pyramid seeds. This strain have mendocino parents, and is suppose to focus on the taste.
So either this strain is a lie regarding genetics, either way the "mendocino" traits aren't what I'm looking for at all.
I think it's just not what Im looking for, since it's not the first time I go that way, focusing on "mendocino purps".
BUT I already know what I'm going to try next :) I need to dig in the "Blueberry" familly now.

Thanks for reading :) See ya next week <3

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 :)
