Purple Lemonade Auto. First grow

I started by mixing I bag of ocean forest with one bag of light warrior. I let that sit in a tub for 4 weeks. I attempted to Germinate some trans siberian back in July and found 2/3 seeds had grown into the soil due to my aggressive first wetting of the soil, with the third coming out mangled and just odd looking but not dead so I figured I’d leave her in her original solo cup and let nature take its course. On aug 10 I moved 3 purple lemonades into root cubes and put them in a dome and after 3 days the fist seed popped. 2 days later the next 2 popped. 1 week later the first pl to pop was looking strong with the second having slower growth and the third looked like a golf club sticking out of the ground because her seed never came off. I culled her and transplanted the remaining 2 root cubes into 3 gallon fabric pots. After 2 weeks in the air pots I began adding the nutes because I felt they were growing slow, until then I was watering with ph’d zephyrhills because my tap water smells like pool water even after 2 days airing out with everything suggested online minus boiling.Within 2 days the stronger of the 2 doubled in size. For the next few weeks I followed the veg feeding schedule, alternating between feeds and water based on touch and how the plant looked and until now I hadn’t flushed my soil at all including checking ppm of the run off. I also topped the slow grower as an experiment. My star plant started looking funny on the new growth so I got scared and began adding cal mag now( I realized later she was going into pre flower lol ) I left town for the long weekend and decided to give her a good watering hopefully keeping her soil wet enough to make it from Friday morning to Monday afternoon. When I arrived home she looked so sad, but after a good watering she perked right up within a couple of hours. The next day I did the final veg nute feed, for the next watering I did the recommended sledgehammer flush. The next watering was with the first week of flower nutrients from the feeding schedule. After work I come to find this monster with white long pistils every where, with a new 4” to my star girl. The other plant is doing well with about half of the bud sites. She seems to be 1-2 weeks behind. My solo cup trans Siberian has been creeping along growing into the cutest micro grow. She has 2 cute colas, I’ve been feeding her the same as the others just in smaller amounts. Today I decided to LST every one minus solo cup. I had been nervous but I think it came out ok for my first time. I think I’m caught up with all the updates to now so let’s see lol

Smells coming in. Especially on my solo cup trans Siberian auto who smells like a bowl of lemons and is full of resin that’s my underdog . One of the the purple lemonade autos is starting to frost up and show her purple colors. Pretty excited

Not sure what happened but they became yellow while I was at work. I watered her one more time in between feeds than I normally would but fed full strength week 7 nutes from the ff soil feeding schedule. If she doesn’t perk up in the next few days I’m going to just flush her and trim to avoid the buds getting damaged. They smell lovely

Final feed was last week. I flushed them this week and will keep adding only 6.5 ph purified water until the end. This makes week 9 from seed so I figure 1.5-2weeks till harvest. The solo was also flushed this week.

Last week of flush. I’ll give them 72 hrs in the dark starting Friday and cut them down this Monday/Tuesday. This has been a very interesting learning experience. I’m honestly more nervous now than I have been the whole damn time. Probably because of how awesome they smell and how dense and pretty they are in person. My pictures don’t give them any justice. Damn iPhone 11 promax. I’m going to do a nice tasteful nude photo shoot with the cannon once I do away with all of their fan leaves.

For my first grow I’m quite pleased. She smells great, Very lemony I can’t wait to try her out. I’m hoping she dries and cures nice.

Little lady survived my first real attempt, which resulted in 4 monsoons that caused 3 of her sisters to drown. But she wanted to grow up to be a the filling of a backwood so she was a survivor lol. I’ll be back with a smoke report in about 2 weeks.
