Hey what's up people :)
I'm so excited!! I can only find white trichomes, I'll just wait some amber and it will be time to harvest!!!
⌚ LAST FEEDING, STARTING FLUSH ⌚
--------------------------------------------
Early this week, I watered for the last time with nutrients. And on the end of the week, I started to water with melted snow collected outdoor :)
This water been PH balanced by mixing it with some of tape water.
The only plant that will continue to be feeded is the Ugly, since she is verry late. I'm not even sure she will be harvested this year.
But despite the slow flowering, she seems to be really promising. She started to produce some terps and seems to have same terp profile than the others.
💜 2 OUT OF 4 PLANTS TURNED PURPLE 💜
-------------------------------------------------
It was already noticable like 2-3 weeks ago, but I didn't talked too much about it.
So this week, I tried to make some cool pictures of the two ladies that grew purple flowers so you can check this out :)
I'll make more better pictures next week, since I'll move the plants out of the grow room to harvest.
This color difference don't seems to change anything with the terps. It's just a color variation for now.
I forgot to talk about something 😅 2 weeks ago, I wanted to test to lower temps during the night.
I checked to search online what could do the trick. Didn't wanted to invest in AC for that. But I found some cheap vents where you place frozen water in it... And so It blow colder air.
This is verry cheap and using electricity for this is kind of... wasting electricity. BUT this made me think : "Damn, I can just place Ice front of my fans, it will do the trick!"
So I placed two bottle of water in the freezer, and every day, I was placing thoses 2 bootles in my grow room, right front of my biggest fan.
This was lowering temps only like 1°C with a closed tent in the dark. Not verry effective. the two plants that were closer of the fan and ICE are the two plants that turned purple.
Even if the global temp only lowered by 1°C after some hours, I do believe the air passing near the ice was probably a little more cold, and so the two first plants were getting that fresh air.
OR it's just totally random 😅
🤷♀️ THE UGLY WILL FINISH OUT OF THE GROW ROOM 🤷♀️
----------------------------------------------------------------
The grow room is the only place I can control temps and humidity, and have a 100% dark environement.
But the Ugly is going to need probably 2-3 more weeks compared to the 3 others plants.
The more important is correctly drying the harvest, so I'll have to move the Ugly.
I'm not sure yet how I'm going to manage that... I'll probably move the ugly to another room.
🙌 PLANS FOR MY NEXT DIARY 🙌
---------------------------------------
I asked you last week what should I grow.
I took my decision! I'll do my 20 plants diary!!!! 20 auto (mainly FastBuds & Sweet Seeds) in 1 gallon pots.
Why? Simply because the second option (Member OG from Ethos) is a Regular seeds and I can't be sure of the final outcome.
If I end with only one female, I may run out of weed again, and I would avoid that. PLUS I'm excited about having lot of differents tastes ready to smoke :)
So 2022 will start with a funny 20 plants grow (funny... FOR NOW 😆), and right after that, I'll grow that Member OG

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 :)
