Soaked in a shot glass for over 12hr with 1/3 peroxide, 2/3 tap water then poured into a coffee filter and kept on a warming mat in a sealed bag. Developed a root within 48hr. Put into soil and she popped up a few days later.
No nutes - the soil is rich with worm castings, and other amendments like Extreme Gardening Mykos and Azos, Earths Best Azomite & Seabird Guano along with my own home grown, alfalfa fed, composted goat poop and oak leaves. I have masonry sand and a little perlite in there too.
She just exploded this week. I started the week with Earth Juice Hi Brix Molasses, Then a dose of silica blast in the next water, and ended the week with a 1/4 teasp of SeaBlast Grow into a gallon of water split with 3 other plants in the room.
Trying to decide if I’ll SCROG her as planned or not. **spoiler, I decided not, but it took me a bit**
She was already 3 weeks behind the rest of the grow, and they were getting too big, So I planned to flip the lights the end of the week. Same basic nutrient program as last week, but a hint more SeaBlast Grow.
The lights were flipped to 12/12 at the 1st of week 5 and rheostat was turned up to 50% and the lights raised to encourage a little more internodal spacing. She will be topped this week. Her reservoir seems to lose anout 1/2 a gallon a day, so that is what I am replenishing. She is a bottom feeder in a self wicking pot.
And the decision was made, no scrog. Defoliated a little at the beginning of the week because humidity spikes became an issue in the grow room. CPK has huge indica looking veg foliage. but then in flower it gradually narrows. Very cool. I finally see preflowers!! YES!
LST with pipe cleaners - I prefer them because they are easy to move and adjust, don’t hurt the plants and can be adapted to pull, support or even splint. They are just versatile and I had them on hand already. All the preflowers are out now. Checking every day for flowers.
A little lower defoliation and Flowers!! She getting in gear to explode! Seablast Grow has excellent potassium levels for putting on the flowers. And Sea Blast Bloom keeps that K coming.
This week the grow room was in recovery from over application of PK nutes. The girls were flushed with recharge plenty of water. CPK was the thirstiest looking of them all when I checked on them. Wasn’t able to check yesterday, but should have. She got 2gallons tonight.
Week 14 is week 6 of flower.
Stacking up! Smells sweet and green. Due to all the PK in the soil and how I loaded them in early flower, this week our feeds were silica and high-brix molasses. They get a gallon added to their res each day. They have lovely colas. I’m glad that I flipped em before they actually preflowered because The other plants in the room were too big for me to lay down my big scrog like I had intended for CPK initially. I wouldn’t have wanted her any larger without support. My plans for the scrog changed once the other plants were 3 weeks ahead of CPK. For being treated like an auto this run, CPK sure going to yield nicely. I hope she smokes something like she smells exotically sweet with some woody notes. I’m not really picking up the lemon notes, perhaps a hint of skunk, but nothing that a true skunk aficionado would call skunk.
Week15 is week7 of flower. The plant beside Critical Purple Kush has spider mites - and I’ve treated that plant as well as CPK with Dr. Zymes spray. Fingers crossed that the little buggars die. CPK is sticky, and smells so sweet!
Week 16 is week 8 of flower. Feeding the microbes in the soil is the ticket. She’s getting primarily Hi Brix Molasses this week. I noted some spider mite spots on leaves around the lower popcorn when I was removing those. Had another plant (beside her) this grow that had them at the end. I removed what I saw and treated her and the soil with Dr. Zymes. Will keep a close eye on her these last couple of weeks. I had her treated with Dr. Zymes twice when I saw them on the plant beside her, apparently a few made it thru, but not many. I’ll stay on top of it.
She isn’t showing a ton of purple, but I’m not getting her temps very low either. She does have a nice lavender cast to the milky trichs though.
Just coasting along keeping her soil moist. Checked trichomes under the microscope late this week. All milky, pinkish purple hues. There were a few scattered starting to darken. I’ll be chopping her this next week. Just letting those colas fatten while I can.
Critical Purple Kush was an effortless grow. The plant beside her got spider kites but they didn't like that CPK so much. She had a few show up on lower leaves, never any webs. I treated for them twice and they never resurfaced.
