Germination
3 years ago
I have planted 2 Alaskan Purple Autos with my other 2 cultivars. 1 of the AP will be in a 5 gallon and the other in a 3 gallon. Everything is being germinated straight in the soil. This run I am using purely HP Pro-Mix with Mycorrhizae. I will be amending with Gaia Green Organic dry amendments once the plant is large enough.

Slow initial growth due to bad VPD and a bit too much water. Corrected it and now they are beginning to respond a bit better. 1 of these AP is not doing great. Had some weird leaf bending and spotting might have been dying from excess water. I will see if it bounces back but I think it will be stunted.

Seedlings were off to a rough start but the one seems healthy and is growing more quickly now. The other appears to be a mutant and is growing very strangely. I've kept it out if curiosity but will get rid of it if it impedes the healthy plants.

This week I took the fan covers off my 2 tent fans as they were collecting dust and water minerals from the humidifier and then blowing them around and getting them on the leaves. Once I removed them and cleaned the fan blades everything is keeping cleaner and there is more airflow without them. I have had the most trouble with these Alaskan Purple compared to the other cultivars in the tent. I had to remove the mutant AP and put it in a secondary lesser tent as an experiment but didn't want it in the main tent. The remaining AP is growing better but is showing weird twisting on the new growth and stunted in comparison to the other cultivars. I will have to keep an eye on this one. This breeds genetics of AP auto from Seedsman seems unstable.

The one surviving Alaskan Purple is growing well. These are my first autoflowers along with the Gelat.O.G., so I am trying to be relatively hands off to reduce stunting. Just doing some LST with rubber garden wire.

They are looking a little rough right now after earlier in the week when I defoliated a bit and then trained them out with rubber wire. They also had a bit too much water for a day or 2 but are beginning perking up now that the first flower buds have arrived. I top dressed at the beginning of the week with organic fertilizer to support the flower phase. arrived.

I was worried about this one but it really seems to be stretching and is now the tallest plant in the tent. The flowers are really starting to bud and hope it will begin to fatten up soon once the stretch is done. I am just doing some light defoliation around the skirt of the plant but otherwise trying to interfere as little as possible. I have recently gotten the watering down alot better. I have found that alternating between top and bottom watering has been a better approach and the plants are liking it better. I have also been happy to not have any pests this time around so far, due to pre sanitizing really well and running weekly foliar sprays of neem oil and soap for the first 4 weeks.

I cleaned up the lower skirt and removed any of the sucker, popcorn nug shoots from the lower sites. I amended with Gaia Green organic amendments and watered so they would become available for uptake by the start of next month. I had to super crop a few of the main taller colas as they were getting way too tall in comparison to everything in the tent. They have adapted to it quickly. At this point I am just going to be mostly hands off an water till the buds ripen and finish over the next month and a while.

Aging into her last weeks. Just checking trichomes every few days. At this point they are not quite where I want them to be maturity wise so going to give another week till my guessed harvest.
