8/10. Really easy to grow this strain. It'll take a full dose of nutes easy, but if you want a bigger harvest just go half. She will go a long time in veg & flower, & it's well worth the wait. You can see all the trichs glistening, even now as the buds cure in their jars. Purple finally came through at the end, but nothing to write home about, but this was my fault ripening early. This plant loved LST and light defol. Everytime i treated her to a groom or some stretching, she took it like a pro. I highly recommend LST & light trimming. Just remember to trim a few more inner branches than i did before flower to allow the bigger kolas to fatten up. I made some mistakes yet she still performed beautifully all the way. The smoke is phenomenal! Grow this right & you'll get some killer buds

Not real sure what this did. It's supposed to be an enzym to bresk down dead roots and turn them into food. Every water change i had plenty of dead loose roots in my pot but a healthy root ball. Undecided if it's any good.
Potent smell. Terpene Gold. Noticeable increase in trichomes into the 2nd week of use. Buds continued to get stickier even after mold inspections. Sugar lesves are sticky when dry. Extreme booster definitely ripens. DO NOT USE TOO EARLY! Hold off till you're ready to almost call harvest, then pump this into the girls. At half dose you csn see the rosebud calyxes building on each other.

5 out of 5. I've never used grow lights before, or even had a tent, & i doubt i ever will need to try anything else. Every day blew me away with the growth, even the pots were getting bigger. Complete & total coverage inside the tent. I had to sit them higher than recommended at some time depending what was in the tent, but that didn't seem to slow growth rates. My only recommendation, getting the latest model with dimmer knob. The screw on my resisters is a joke. But they have improved so get one. Everything grows under a MarsHydro, even the rocks & pots!

I'm very happy with my first overall harvest. I dried it a little quicker than I'd like, but you work with what you got right? It's not the greatest haul, but for a plant no taller than 35cm, & only 50x60cm around, 242g of dried bud is pretty decent i reckon. It's all curing now & getting better with age. Don't reckon I'll lose much more weight. I'm a fiend, so I'm not the best at rating flavours & smells (bat shit remember?) & daytime or night time, who cares? I'm getting nicely baked off them atm & they're only going to get better over the next couple of weeks. I'll get some pics and write a smoke report around Christmas. That'll be about 3 days drying, 11 days curing. On top of the buds, i kept ALL of my trimmings, 121g of dried and cured trimmings from the whole grow. I put this with 17g of dried sticky sugar leaves & 750g of butter. I've hopefully just made some butter that'll scare some friends :) This was an easy grow, & really look forward to doing another round of purples in the future. I'll remember half dose nutes, push 9 weeks of veg with light LST & defol remembering to open up the guts, push 9 weeks of flower the use booster. I've also gotta mention, The help from some people on this page is amazing. Few shouts; DownUnderNugz, Shooey, gmslave, Papa_T. Not all of us are experts with all the knowledge. Not all of us know & have all the tools we need either. Some growers on here help fill those holes & help others produce a better harvest than if they had to do it alone. Thank you to the growers! Thank you Grow Diaries for giving me the platform to show off & receive feedback for my plant. Happy smoking :)

What can i do with my trimmings? ie the big leaves and tips cut off during growing. Seems like a waste to just compost them

You can eat them but they aren't very good. You can juice them, but the juice isn't very good. You can use them as a fun garnish when cooking but they don't do much for flavor so it's only for their appearance. Or, I just throw them on the compost pile.

Looks like it got a little to hot for her. This shows from the curling up of the serrated edges of the leaves Plus new growth starts to twist. Now that you are in flower her nutrient needs will be picky. You should be doing a full water change every week to make sure she has a balance of what is needed. Her leaf tips are a little burnt so you might want to slightly lower the nutrient concentration to avoid burn. Happy Growing

How can i fix my diary's nutrient names list? I'm still using the same nutes, but i can't get the name change to happen across all the weeks. Everytime i change a week, another reverts amd another changes. What am i doing wrong?

Understanding PPM. Today was a top day, so i took the chance to try out reading ppm's. I had 2Ltrs of mineral water. Ppm 95. I added my CalMag at 1.5mL/L (3mL) Ppm 304. Continued through each nute, got total of 950. I can add more food right? This should match 12L reading right?

Chow_13answered grow question 3 years ago
just to add some confusion to the situation is ppm are a bad way of measuring. @gmslave most likely has a ppm meter that uses a 0.5 scale while the 1100 ppm could be on a 0.7 scale which is 800 on the .5 scale. EC is god and is what all ppm metera read then convert. Much of the U.S. will experience a 0.50 conversion ratio, whereas many other parts of the world utilize a 0.64 and even 0.70 conversion ratio. look at the table at the bottom of this link. https://dutchmasternutrients.com/growers-guide/ppm-vs-ec/ oh and ppm/ec only tells you where you are with the feed, all plants will eat differently so its best to use ppm as a guidance and more learn how to look at the plant to see what is asking for Happy Growing

Judging on the pics 7/12, i believe i should start flushing today. Calyx growth has slowed, & the ones with white pistils that are still left look tight. Lower hairs are red, internal buds still bright green but i can really notice trichomes, more white than shiny. Flush?

@Papa_T, i keep the maintenance to a minimum. Like you said, bit of a waste in resources. I was fortunate enough that they both done all this on their own outside in the garden. I figured im already paying the bill on the tent, may as well use it. They both produced more bud than they produced of leaves for their entire grow. Lil has had 4 leaves trimmed in total. Kevin, a lil under 20. I only tried 'fiming' kev, which i have no idea how to do properly.

@Mr_Death_himself, I hear ya man. The only time to kill is when you have a herm or a male. Unless you’re trying to breed then the male is good but I have no interest in them 🤣 The only shitty part of a really small plant is that at the end of the day is really isn’t worth the time or the resources but I can tell Lil G is more about the love of growing. 🤙

Nearly there Mr.D Man 11 weeks of flowering,, what a marathon! Looks like Ur gonna get stacks out of it though. Good idea with the dehumidifier. I wish I could use one outside cos I'm getting mould and bugs with all this moisture. It just seems relentless at the moment hey,, maybe these "la nina" weather patterns are the problem. Normally this is quite a dry time of year where I live. All the best bro 👍👊
