1-2 weeks left before harvest! I'll start the flush next week!
Nothing special to report during this week. The feeding didn't changed...
But I'm already preparing the flush for next week :)
👹 "THE UGLY" IS SO LATE... .BUT STILL PROMISING 👹
-------------------------------------------------------------
I talked about it last week... I'm verry curious about how the Ugly will end.
Out of 4 plants, she was the one that grew slowly, with weird shapes, weird leaves, weird branches.... Definitly some genetic issue for that one.
She started to flower at the same time than the 3 others plants, but preflowering been took way more time for her!
She is now fattening, when the others plants are finishing.... She is going to make my life harder, since I will have to make 2 drying/trimming sessions 😤
❄️ PREPARING THE FLUSH ❄️
---------------------------------
Preparing a flush!?! How!?!? Well, don't think I got a special crazy plan :D It's just that It's winter here, and... It's snowing!
So I'm simply harvesting some snow and I let it melt indoor. I'm going to use that fresh snow water for the flush starting next week :)
I'm growing my plants with tape water most of the time, providing them some rain/snow water is always a pleasure!
I hope I'll be abble to start my next grow with snow water too :)
🔎 PLANTS OBSERVATION 🔎
---------------------------------
I start to believe I got two differents plants terpene profil.
I already talked about that sweet apple-juice smell. Well, I believe that "The Ugly" plus one other plant, have a different terp profile.
I've been sampling a bit thoses last days, I feel like there is a touch of "SoMango / Jack herrer" on 2 of the 4 plants.
One of the 4 plants also developped way more purple on the buds.
I'll try to show you that next week: not easy to show it under the grow lights, I'll need to take new pictures out of growing room.
🙌 PLANS FOR MY NEXT DIARY 🙌
---------------------------------------
So, Purple Quest isn't over!!!
I'm already planning what will be my next grow.
I have 2 differents plans, and I'm not sure what plan I'll start with :)
Tell me what you think about it, I need your advices 👍
PLAN 1) Having a HUGE auto grow, with 20 plants in 1Gallon pots!! Including : Sweet Seeds (Red Strawberry banana auto, Red Poison auto) and FastBuds (Zkittlez auto, Purple Lemonade auto, Wedding cheesecake auto, BlueDream auto).
PLAN 2) Member OG from Ethos seeds. My first "Regular" seeds. I'll have to select female. I'll probably start with 4 seeds, and luckily keep 1 or 2 females.
I have a lot of hope about that Member OG regarding my Purple Quest.
But Im also excited about that crazy 20 plants project.
Both options are more challenging than everything done before.
I may start with that Plan 2 just for the guarantee outcome, since popping 4 Regular seeds could end with 4 males 😂

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 :)
