Seeds got wet on 3/31, all 4 cracked on 4/1, and they were then put into root riot plugs that were pushed into small nursery pot filled with seed starter soil. All 4 seedlings sprouted on 4/3.
All 4 plants seem to be progressing well and at the same rate. They are leggy from keeping them under the fluorescent lights longer than I usually do but I will bury them deeper when I transplant them into 1.5 gallon pots.
They've been doing very well so far, but were leggy, so I transplanted them a little earlier than I usually do so I could bury the stems a bit. The holes got dusted with Mycos and the plants got a light watering to make sure there are no air pockets. Watering from here on will be provided by blumats.
I should've waited an additional week before transplanting these plants. There were not happy for the first 3-4 days after being transplanted. I don't think the plants are overly sensitive, I think I just didn't let them build up a large enough root ball, and they just got way too stressed from the soil falling apart during the transplant. The lower leaves suffered a bit from it, but the new growth looks good, so they should start chugging along again.
All 4 plants got topped on Friday and were top dressed with Roots Organics Uprising Foundation and Grow. I found that I had set the blumats up when the soil was too dry so I gave each plant a good watering and corrected that on Thursday. Purple Chem #2 is the only plant that seems to be struggling but it seems to be finally getting better since I fertilized and fixed the watering issue.
The plants are doing better now and are starting to fill out so I've started to pin the branches down. Each plant was top dressed with 1/2 TBSP each of Roots Organics Uprising Foundation and Uprising Grow. Each plant also got watered with 250mL of Recharge.
Plants really picked up growth this past week so they were all transplanted into 10 gallon pots. Each plant was top dressed with 1TBSP Roots Organics Uprising Foundation, watered with 3.6L of Recharge, and the longer Blumat carrots were put into the pots and calibrated. I will give the plants 1-2 weeks to get settled into their new pots and then will flip them into flower.
Plants were much happier this past week so they all got pruned and pinned down more. This will be the last time they are pinned down and they will be flipped to flower by the end of the week. Each plant was top dressed with 1TBSP Roots Organics Uprising Bloom and watered with 0.75L recharge on Saturday.
Plants are growing well but I was a little too aggressive with the LST and wound up splitting the main stem of Purple Canyon #2 early in the week. I zip tied the stem, but noticed the next day that it was not holding the split closed, so I decided to drill through the branches at the top of the split and sent bonsai wire through the branches to "stitch" it back together and hold it tighter than the zip tie could. I figure that this type of method works to fix split trees so it was worth a shot. The plant has looked happy through all of this stress so I have a feeling it will do fine and I will just be sure to support the branches with bamboo sticks when they start packing on weight. All plants were top dressed with Roots Organics Uprising Foundation and Bloom and were flipped to their flower schedule on Saturday.
Plant did well this week and had lots of growth. I cleaned up the underside of the plants to improve airflow through them and pulled off all lower bud sites to help the plant focus on the colas. Each plant got 1TBSP Roots Organics Uprising Foundation & Uprising Bloom, and 1L of recharge.
All p4 plants are growing very well and the one I split is actually growing the most vigorously. The flowers are coming in nicely and each plant from each strain look very much like each other. The Purple Canyon stretched a lot more than the Purple Chem which stayed shorter and more bushy. Been checking all for plants for signs of pollen sacs and there have been none to be found so far. Each plant got 1TBSP Roots Organics Uprising Foundation & Uprising Bloom, and 1L of recharge.
The plants have grown another 10 inches over the last week and the flowers are coming in nicely. I've gone through all 4 plants pretty thoroughly and have seen no signs of pollen sacs so I'm pretty confident there are no hermaphrodites in the tent. I realized I have bee feeding heavily so I skipped the top dressing this week and just gave each plant 1L of recharge.
The stretch seems to be finished so I cleaned up the lower growth one last time. Also gave each plant 1L of recharge. The smell is really starting to come through and I'm getting a grape candy smell on the Purple Canyon. The Purple Chem has a lighter smell to it so far but the plants also seem a little behind in maturity.
The plants are still looking nice and healthy but the Purple Canyon is clearly a much more vigorous cultivar than the Purple Chem. The buds on the Purple Canyon are nice and big but buds on the Purple Chem are extremely small in comparison. Each plant got watered today with 0.8L Recharge.
The plants are doing well. I had an issue with the blumats running away a few times but it seems to be sorted out now. The flowers on the Purple Chem are so much smaller than the Purple Canyon, but they are frosting up really nicely.
The plants are coming along beautifully, but I'm still not impressed by the small flowers on the Purple Chem plants. They have a lot of trichomes, so I'm sure the flower will be great, but I was hoping they would be larger. The Purple Canyon continues to fill out and looks beautiful. Both cultivars smell amazing and have a strong grape candy scent to them. Gave each plant 600mL recharge today.
The leaves on the purple chem have started to fade and dry up in some spots. I think this is because of the heat wave we've been having...even though I have AC going I have not been able to keep the tent temps below 90°-92° during some points during the day, and the humidity has been low enough for that heat to be an issue. I'm hoping to keep these plants going for another 2 weeks before I harvest but will harvest early if necessary.
The plants are starting to fade and finish up and they have been drinking less water over the last week. I will likely harvest the plants next Saturday unless they are ready before then.
Plants look great and got harvested just after taking these photos. The Purple Canyon has some huge colas and smells wonderful. The Purple Chem is a lot smaller but the flowers smell amazing and I think they are going to be pretty nice quality once they've dried and cured.
These plants came out small, compared to what I'm used to seeing from Greenpoint, but it could be that they were just picky plants. I didn't see any health issues and they were easy to grow. The
I was a little disappointed in the size of these plants but the flower quality does look nice. The flowers are covered in trichomes and smell wonderful.
Very large plants with very large colas. The colas did foxtail toward the end but I think that was more to do with the environment than the genetics. We had more than one heat wave so keeping the tent temperature down was a bit of a struggle.
I'm really happy with these plants. Nice and large plants and the flowers look to be nice and dense. These plants yielded twice as much as the Purple Chem that grew beside them.
