The basil is a nice touch. Wishing you better luck with the backup PK, happy growing.

@4chuk, Basil is easy to clone, I just chop a branch from the plant and stick it directly in soil, right in the pot your herb grows in and it usually takes and grows some roots within a week or so. Sometimes it doesn't work, but most times it does and I always have fresh basil on hand for whatever I'm cooking😀.. Smok'em if you got'em!!!

@northernMike, That's really interesting. I grow basil with my tomatoes as it repels some pests and is said to enhance the flavour of the tomatoes, so I would not be at all surprised if there were beneficial effects on cannabis as well. I actually cleared out all the basil in my outdoor garden just a few days ago, shucks. Keep experimenting buddy. A great day to you also.

@4chuk,Thanks👊. I did some reading and apparently the basil plant will help make your plant more resinous whether it's planted in the same pot or just beside. After the clones get settled I'll clone more basil plants right in the same pots as my herb, Plus it's nice to have fresh basil for spagetti sauces etc. Have a great day!!!

@MooSnuckle69, Sonoma seeds, purple kush auto,( two plants) and the bag appeal was awesome, super purple, but I've only tried these genetics once. Canuk seeds, auto purple kush was an easy plant to grow the bag appeal was O.K with just some tinges of purple, and I've only grown this strain from Canuk a couple times. The smoke from both strains was very good, but if I had to choose with what I know so far I'd say the Sonoma seeds wins hands down, but I might change my mind after this plant is harvested, we'll see, I'm hoping for a dark purple this time!!🙏.. Have a great day!!

@northernMike, Hey Mike. If you had to choose between the two seed banks, which one was the better smoke?

@MooSnuckle69, Thanks for stopping by👊.. I've grown a few of this strain, the best was from Sonoma seeds. The plants turned into an awesome shade of Purple, super dark, the last one from Canuk seeds just had some purple tinges but the smoke was good👌.. Later!!

@Mrs_Larimar, This light seems really powerful so I'm still keeping the light quite high above the canopy for now, right around 3 feet and the plants are happy..

Can't wait to see the colour on these ones! I remember your last PK had BIG colours 🍻

northernMikecommented2 years ago

@Louder,The plants with the big purple colours were from a different seed company(sonoma seeds) this one is from Canuk seeds, I'm hoping for a dark purple, we'll see 😑.. Picked up a jug of Purpinator👍 maybe this will help..

@Secretflower, Thanks again, so far so good, the plants seem to really like this light. Keeping it about 40'' above the plant with very little stretch so far..

@northernMike, I lucked out , when I did her , cool Temps she came out a pretty purple 💜

@Tropicannibis_Todd,Thanks👊. This will be the second time growing this strain from Canuk seeds(Great Herb) although it didn't turn near as purple as the couple that I grew from Sonoma seeds, those were so purple they were almost black 😍. Both strains produced some excellent herb, loved to smoke it in the evening👌because it is a nice relaxing high and the flavour was very powerful, hard to explain. Later!!

@SwissKush,Looks to a good one, the smell is off the charts and it's getting a bit sticky, But the whole plant is a little stunted. Not sure why, but I think it had a root problem early on.

@Ju_Bps,Thanks, the purple is a real deep colour and with the long white hairs it makes quite the contrast and it has that sharp kush smell, can't wait to try this one..

Crazy looking color! Looks beautiful bro!

northernMikecommented2 years ago

@DEVS_GENETICS,Thanks again, Last time from Canuk seeds the Purple Kush only had a tinge of colour, but the plant was way bigger. This time the colour is a very deep purple with loads of sugar, but the plant stayed rather small with only two side branches and a large main cola. The joy of growing auto's, you never know what to expect, always an experiment😵😀..
