Critical Purple - Growers Choice

skeeter Raised the light as far as I could to get just 13000 lumens.

skeeter She's coming along. She got a little waterlogged in the cup she started in.

skeeter Fed her her first nutrients, about a cup of water at 50% strength.

skeeter Transferred Lucy from her 3 gal plastic container to her 3 gal fabric pot today. She already had a Taproot that was at the bottom of the pot. I felt a root break, hope she's okay.

skeeter She is very short and compact. Some of the new leaves are twisted and funky but I think that may just be because it's growing so fast and it's so compact with little internodal spacing. An uneventful week except for her growth which is noticeable from day to day. I've only given her nutrients one time in this five weeks but she has a slight yellow on the leaf tips and on some leaves the serrated edges are curling up. 27,000 lux @ 20".

skeeter She is so short and bushy. Really just tried to open her up with the LST this week. I've only given her nutrients twice. It's my first time using a grow bag so it's a learning process to know how much to water her and how often. I'm only watering her every 5 days with 1 gal of water. The last feeding was at 50% of the suggested nutrients; I'm upping the next feeding to 100%. Please share any thoughts and comments you might have, thanks for reading!

skeeter Growing well with no obvious problems except I think there should be some pre-flowers. So I'm going to try 12/12 lighting to try and kick her into gear.

skeeter Another uneventful week. Figured out that the light was too close because the tips of the top leaves were yellow while the leaves at the bottom were fine. Still not flowering. Took off the wire restraints and added the scrog for her to grow into.

skeeter Finally into flowering. She grew 4 inches. Other than that and uneventful week.

skeeter Another uneventful week. I keep moving the light up and down to find the sweet spot where the leave tips don't yellow.

skeeter Another wonderful week with no problems. The growth spurt is over.

skeeter I'm not really sure what's causing the yellow tips that are mostly on the top of the plant. I've moved the light further away and it didn't seem to do anything so I'm thinking maybe over-fertilization? The runoff has been 1500 while I'm only feeding 1000 PPM. Watering with two gallons in and about half a gallon of runoff so I I don't think it's salt buildup. 6.5 pH in and 6.6 pH in the runoff; it isn't pH lockout. The last couple of days the buds have finally started to stack up.

skeeter The buds are continuing to stack up nicely. The run-off PPM it's still 1000 and I'm only feeding it 700 PPM. I noticed that the high PPM runoff started when I switched over to the bloom nutrients, that must have something to do with it. Since the plant looks good I'm just going to ignore this issue for now. Thoughts?

skeeter The run-off PPM finally came down to a reasonable number after (3) feedings at 700 PPM. I took my first look through the microscope and we're looking at two more weeks! The next feeding will be at 1000 PPM what do you think will happen?

skeeter Buds are starting to really bulk up. I'm keeping an eye on some interveinal chlorosis on a couple leaves. I've been targeting 6.5 PH and I'm going to bump that up a little see if that does anything.

skeeter Not much change day-to-day but I can definitely see the buds getting fatter the last couple of weeks. I've been having high PPM (1700) in my runoff and I think I've determined it was ph lockout. The pH going in and coming out was in the mid sixes but since lowering it to the low sixes the PPM of the runoff has come down. This last watering I gave it 6.1 at 840 and it came out 6.1 at 540. Maybe I should be targeting 6.0? I just realized that most of the buds are foxtailing. I'm hoping it's just genetics. Chop day this weekend?

skeeter Chopped her down.

skeeter I had a pretty easy time growing this time.
