Hi and thanks for stopping by!
Fertilizer is done. Starting flush tomorrow. Going to do 9 days + 2 days of dark and harvest on 7/24. Would like to do another 2-3 days of flush but am away for a couple days, so 9 will have to do.
This grow is great in the middle and funky on the sides. The height worked out badly. There is some burning as some of the Sango buds are 1" (or closer) from the light.
Having said that, once I re-leveled my light they really bulked up. Frost, as always, where it needs to be thanks to PCG and HLG. Despite my difficulties, this is going to be an excellent grow. The smell is fantastic. The Sango has a cigar shop smell to it, but when you rub the stems there's a nice sweetness. The Mango Mintality has some underlying sweet notes, but a SHARP, funky bite when you take a whiff after touching it.
The light issue in weeks 5-6 made some oddly shaped buds, I'll put up pics when they get cut down.
Ready to start the next run, Congolese Bubblegum and Governmint Oasis seedlings. Yes, from PCG. Pretty sure I'm a fanboy.
Have an awesome week!

@ItsCannaDog, awesome! I've only been growing 2 years. You learn fast indoors. Purple City has great genetics, very forgiving on mistakes and good to very good resistances to pm, mold and pests.
Let me know if you run into pests or pm (at some point you probably will), I have some good suggestions.
Good luck!
@ItsCannaDog, I planned on 12 weeks, including flush. Maybe 11-1/2. The thing you can count on from Purple City (besides awesome flower) is a couple extra weeks past what they say. Even on clones.
How big are one of those buds? I'm on wk6 and mine are only a thumb size in a few places? Also are you measuring ppms, if so what do you trend? Thank you
@FluffyAgenda, cheers for the info, my first grow so I'm researching all over the place. Buts it's nice to know someone growing the same. Looking good bro, keep it up
Did I send my last reply? I don't see it.@ItsCannaDog, sorry about that, must've not hit "send". It was kind of long, but the gist was: I'm doing 10 to 10.5 weeks of fertilizer and 12-14 days in flush. Super nube but in the last 2 years I've grown more PCG than all other genetics combined. My experience, even with their clones, is they can be 1 to 2 weeks longer in flower than advertised. You can tell by how long they stretch, if they're still stretching after 3 weeks, add that time to the end. So these stretched into week 5 for me, so I added 2 weeks. Went from a planned 63 to 77 days in flower. Based on my last grow with their NYC Piff #3 (sativa dom) I wasn't surprised by that. Also, the manager at the hydro store I go to alluded to PCG purposely shortening the advertised flower times on some strains.
Having said all that, I still love them. For frosty, tasty and bulky genetics, I'm ok with an extra week or 2.
Good luck!
@ItsCannaDog, I was planning on 10-12, but went with 8 as I was going away for the weekend and didn't want to harvest the day I got back. Not sure how it works with hydro, but growing in coco, you want to flush as long as you can. I know someone that does 14 days. I'm usually 10 days. It helps with smoothness, even before it's fully cured. My weed is for me, so I hang dry in a tent (never in cardboard box) and cure in glass (the longer it cures the better it is).
