Day 28
omg I need a coffee and a joint and then maybe again ๐ that took forever.
She is tied down so nicely (if I say so myself), there was one branch I've left to be lead meristem for a while cos it got a little nick in it when tying the fan leaves down when topped, so it is a little behind and just letting it fill out before tying in next24hrs
She is drinking! She had 2:1000 Grow Big & 3:1000 calmag in 200ml pH6 rainwater
Day 29
Tying in
Day 30
Hi there. Today is going to be a busy day - every plant needs something - two tops / defoliation / tying in. Purple Punch is going to lose her fan leaves in next 24hrs and get her 3rd top tied in - won't be long hopefully before start seeing some sativa leaves ๐
OK - CONFESSION TIME ... there is an outside possibility this isn't Tastebudz Purple Punch Auto but in fact Tastebudz Bubble Runtz Feminised Photo. I had a minor snafu at a critical time - both labels fell off the glasses when I was germing these two seeds, aaaaaand only one germed. I posted as Purple Punch because she was responding to training like an auto but mostly because the first true fan leaves were v purple in their stem and v dark glaucous leaf. I hope I'm right - I do not want a photo as I have just shut down 12/12 and the only way I can commission it now would be to use my blurple - which I hate.
Anyway back to fantasy... the cliche of this mistake is universal - we all do it, we all learn not to. Kinda ups the tension with big reveal in wk 5.
Temp 73F 59rH pH6.5 All v happy girls - they are loving the MHts600 addition. She had 200ml plain rain water last night.
8hrs later all fan leaves gone. Bit of dominance one side - adjusted light. Otherwise good - nodes straight and will be tying leading meristems down in next 18hrs. ๐ She looks a little scruffy but she's all good. She was thirsty again, so 100ml plain rain water ๐ง
Day 31
I could have left the fan leaves on an extra day and save me having to coax the 2nd nodes from 3rd top into a bit of growth. Pinning the next set (softly) for a day should hopefully do it. We'll know soon ๐ She had 250ml rain water - was a hot night - didn't get a lot of growth ๐
8hrs later
well that kinda worked, not as well as if hadn't cut fan leaves off too early but, hey ain't that life. After 5hrs she had all her lead growth pointing up, so I unpinned the leaves and tucked them so weaker tops got dibs on light. She is looking fiiiine. Doncha think?
Day 32
Slowly stretching her out. The short nodes that are lignifying I've tied down & soft I've left to stretch as much as poss. Hopefully all tied by tomorrow. Going to start adding nutes again soon for the pf stretch. She had 300ml today plain rain water. Sure she needs a kick.
Day 34
Well I've been worrying about space and light decisions for days. Done now. Everyone is in max light & without any reflective material - I cannot put another plant in grow... yet. So FR swapped with PP but everyone else more or less where they were. Pink Tub has gone and wire intensive solution created.
She had 350ml 3:1000ml grow big in 250ml plain rain water. She is getting bushy but what can I do? I stalled her by taking off those fan leaves on day 30. I've got to let her do her own thing for a day or two. I'll keep extending the lines but it's up to her. I'm not going to defoliate till end of week or maybe later.
Day 35
Just thickening up, slowly moving the ties out onto these tiny nodes: I have to defoliate but daren't right now risk dwarfing her more! Just letting her do her thing... Will take some leaves of in next 24/48hrs
350ml plain rain water
@@GreyArea51,
Thx man - really enjoying Tastebudz genetics - beauty plant ๐๐
Yeah dude, the 1.06L daily watering shown is NOT right - tried to lower it but GD kept correcting it.
So, I log the watering every day. It changes according to: the rH, how much she is drinking, what work I've done on her (less if heavy defoliate), if I've over-nuted her (I have noted some tip burn this week so full week of water b4 next feed)
At the mo she is drinking 1L every 2 days. I generally let her get as dry as I dare before watering again - usually every two days but at the moment seems every day. If every day I do a small drink say 300ml and let her be thirsty for the next day.
Happy Growing ๐
Good luck!
Last session was BR from Tastebudz and was by far the worst beans I have ever grown. Horrible genetics, every plant of 10 a different pheno with only a couple of good ones, unfortunately they turned out to have bad terps, taste and no smell.
I hope you have a much better experience than me!
Be sure to have temps, humidity and air flow on point mate at later flower too, I found the genetics to be also poor against bud rot. I ended up removing several big tops to save rest of plant in late flower.
๐ค๐ป & happy new year.
@Scoobiedoo,
Oh god haha nope I didnโt jinx it.
Piss poor genetics from my experience but was hoping you had better results.
Onwards and upwards mate, whatโs next on the session?
