nerdz Day 15 to 21 Wednesday D16 Upped to 320ppm @5.8 Lights are hitting them harder, seeing faster growth D19 320ppm @ 5.8 300w @ 16" D20 Air and autopots on 320ppm @ 5.8 D21 Having the same pH issue where the clay is making it jump up. I love this problem. I am going to go straight coco and perlite next grow. pH jumped from 5.8 to 6.5 in some of the pots. I will hit the res at 5.1 for a bit to try and equalize the pH of the pebbles and bring them down a bit.

nerdz Day 22 to 28 Wednesday Day 22 Lights 330w @ 16" ~450umols Autopots @ 320ppm I will turn on the autopots every 2 days for an hour or something until they drink more. It will give the hydroton less time to mess with my ph. I don't know why I added them again. D23 Lights bumped to 355w ~490umols D24 Lights bumped to 370w ~530umols Autopots turned on for an hour. LST on main stem D26 Did a little defoliation D27 Bottom leaves showing some deficiency. Upping to 450ppm @ 5.8. Added terpinator @ 1:2 to rest of veg mix. Lights up to 385w D28 - Lights at 400w - 450ppm @ 5.8 - VPD in check

nerdz Day 36 to 42 Wednesday Plants seem a little behind compared to last grow, but I think I can still fill the tent so I'm feeling optimistic. D36 Upped feed to 550ppm using the ratios listed above. Stretch seems to be starting 😁 D41 They are stretching now 🤑 did a pretty dramatic defoliation and more training. Sites rising!

nerdz Day 43 to 49 Wednesday Day 43 I am staying on full veg nutes for now at 550ppm. Not trying to rush it again. Watching for any defs and will switch to bloom then. I will update the diary with the ratios when I do make the change! I have a feeling this will be a small set of plants. Unless they still have some major stretching to do, this will be really manageable and I'm looking forward to it. D46 Switched to full bloom @ ~6.0ph. Having trouble keeping this pH in place. Stupid clay pebbles...

nerdz 50 to 56 Wednesday D50 Staying at 550ppm, nices are growing plantly. I'm a bit sad they aren't bigger because they are pretty frosty this time compared to my last grow. I'm guessing I'll be lucky to get a pound on this one. D52 Upped feed to 650ppm...starting to see some PK def. D53 Forgot to turn the autopots on after filling the res. So technically 650ppm today 🤡 D54 PK def subsided. D56 Going to try something new since...whatever. 700ppm, 4:2:1 ratio 4: Astroflower, Bloom, Terpinator, Natures Candy 2: Velokelp 1: Micro, Magnifical

nerdz Day 57 to 63 Wednesday D57 Trying something new. Going 4:1 on the bloom nutes rather than the usual 1:1. 700ppm @ 6.1 If I don't see any issues I'll lower nature's candy down to 2:1 D59 Seeing some burn but I think I just overfed. Lowered back to 600ppm for the rest of week, same 4:1 ratios @ 6.1 D62 660ppm, same ratios above @ 6.1

nerdz Alright last week I did some experimenting which I think was a bit premature. I am going to follow the ratios provided by Remo but I'll add extra bloom rather than remove anything else. Day 64 to 70 Wednesday Day 64 Switched to the ratios listed above @ 790ppm. Buds turning crazy purple over night. This is vraiment cool 😎 Day 67 Looking good but I believe I've caused a P/K lockout by experimenting with these nutrients :) Going down to 430ppm, then I'll refill the res at 650ppm and I think I will continue giving an extra bit of bloom. I think the initial full blast was what threw it way off. Day 68 Made a small res with 600ppm at usual levels. Hoping that sets me on track. Tbh I don't even know if there's really an issue or my plants are just getting old

nerdz Day 71 to 77 Wednesday Feed at 700. Lights 12-14" @ 480w. These plants are tiny :( I'm over it Hopefully a week or two! .. I'm realizing I am in a bit of a pickle. These plants are smaller than I am used to, so they are not generating very much humidity and so I have my exhaust on an inkbird rather than running 24/7. The lack of constant air exchange is causing my temps to be around 26c and I think I am seeing very slight fox tails

nerdz Day 78 to 84 Wednesday Day 78 They may be small but it's getting pretty thicc in here! I'm hoping to harvest by end of week 🤑 These look and smell fricken excellent! Turned off the heater, the temps should drop to ~17-18c during lights out so I'm hoping the colors come out before the cut D83 Colors! Finishing off with Astro, Bloom and Natures candy at 600ppm until end of week until harvest.

Happy Harvest Day!

Purple Punch Auto Fast Buds

9/10

Rated

Grow 3! Pretty proud of this one, not gonne lie lol. Smallest, but definitely my best looking set it plants yet. This stuff STINKS. It really got smelly in here once we started to harvest. The stems smell like skunk. The buds are dense as hell, even for being wet still.. -- Final Weigh Ins: PP 1 - 142g (5.1oz) PP 2 - 86g (3.1oz) PP 3 - 97g (3.5oz) PP 4 - 156g (5.6oz) PP Solo - 7g (0.25oz) Total - 487g (17.55oz) Capped at 480w, which puts me a hair over 1g/watt. -- I'm so glad I managed to get a 12 day dry this time. The buds are a different kind of dense than before. They are soft, yet firm, yet dense as hell. They smell so potent and gassy, they are so sticky and icky. I am able to smoke it right after trim and it tastes/smells way better than my previous harvests even after a month cure lol. This stuff is on a different level I didn't think I'd reach. I legit think I'll try to grow these again, I'm fricken loving it! I am also amazed at the yield. I was sure I'd maybe get 250g-300g max. I cleared well over a pound on these little rodents and had absoltely zero larf. Check the videos if you want to see the results! Overall this is my best grow to date and I am super satisfied with each of the phenos. It's just a shame I was snoozing at the start and they didn't get very big. Lessons learned. One more thing: It took me about 3 hours to trim everything. Having all the buds so dense like that really sped things up. I think I might try and do that every time lol On to the next! Thanks for stopping by. Check my next one
