12/09/22 So. The end of the growth. This will cover both of the purple punches. Fairly average growth in terms of difficulty; Purple punch pheno #1; Pretty average growth overall. I would have rated this plant to be easy to grow, but it seemed to encounter lockout briefly at day 30 of flower which caused several leaves to yellow. It could have also run out of Nitrogen due to insufficient top-dressing. Another issue with this plant is that the buds became too fat for the plant, causing the branches to need to be tied to dowels in order to not droop over at a 90 degree angle. Otherwise this plant was a joy to grow. The colors never really came out like in the pictures of how the plant was supposed to look, but that is not unusual. Fade also didn't go super hard but I believe this was due to my late top-dressing. I will not be tasting these buds for probably 6ish weeks or so but they smell amazing currently. Like the taste of captain crunch in some cold milk. The plants also looked pretty good, being well stacked with well-developed colas throughout the plant. Purple punch pheno #2; This plant was a joy to grow. Never had any issues I needed to address, held itself up even with soda can sized buds, and had those massive buds to begin with. The only negatives I can think of for this plant are that the plant was foxtailing the whole flower cycle. The plant is also noticeably less frosty than the other two, though I have heard rumors that on most plants the fatter the buds the less the potency. It is probably untrue, but it would make logical sense. Will be giving a smoke report of this plant in about 7 weeks after dry and cure. EDIT(12/15/2022); These two plants have been drying for 6 days now. According to my wood moisture meter, which is being very inconsistent, these buds are still around 20% moisture. Once they drop around to 10-12% I will be trimming them. The fatter the buds the longer the dry. These buds are not crazy fat right now but the 2nd pheno has some decent sized buds. EDIT(12/17/2022); Trimmed both phenos today. They were both overdried, just like the plant I trimmed yesterday. Everything should have been trimmed one day earlier. YIELD: Pheno#1(Smalls); 24.5grams/0.88OZ Pheno#1(Mids); 46.4grams/1.66OZ Pheno#1(Highs); 53.0grams/1.89OZ Pheno#1(Total); 123.9grams/4.425OZ Pheno#2(Smalls); 26.6grams/0.95OZ Pheno#2(Mids); 14.2grams/0.51OZ Pheno#2(Highs); 96.2grams/3.44OZ Pheno#2(Total); 137grams/4.89OZ Total between two plants; 260.9grams/9.31OZ NO TRIM OR LARF INCLUDED IN WEIGHING. SOME OF THE LARFIER BUDS WERE IN THE SMALLS BUT ALL OF THE REAL LARF WAS DISCARDED.

Reviews. Nutrient
Pretty good. I think if you run a few cycles with these nutrients as long as you add some calmag and lime to your soil that's all you need. Time will tell. EDIT: Like I said, time will tell. Today, I took the soil apart from the root ball to reamend and reuse it. Something I noticed is that the Fish bone meal is literally all completely intact. Once upon a time I witnessed a discussion between some older growers. One of them argued that using large rocks or any bones not in meal form for nutrients or minerals was useless because they take so long to break down that in terms of growing cannabis it is useless. The other grower argued that due to the biology in the soil they break down a lot faster. What I saw when I broke open the soil was pretty shocking. The Fish bone meal was not only still there, all of the pieces that weren't dust looked the exact same size. This is pretty bad. The first topdressing had like 6 weeks to break down, and the only thing that was broken down and used was the fish bone meal POWDER. For this reason, I DO NOT recommend this fish bone meal product. Get one that is much finer ground. I suspect this to be part of the reason my plants were lacking at the end. Also I know that lack of biology was not a problem because I constantly added beneficial microbes and one of the pots in the room had mycorrhizae on the surface of the soil. Another reason that this Fish Bone Meal is not a great option is because the ratio is terrible. It is supposed to be a flowering agent, but it has no Potassium, and a lot of Nitrogen. If it is going to have a 5 on N then it should have at least a 5 on K. I think even a 7 or 9 would be better on K right now. ALSO IMPORTANT: I would rate the fish bone meal 2/5, but the site will not let me change my rating now for whatever reason. AND I realize now that I put Lobster meal on the diary, but in reality I used the all purpose plant food.
Reviews. Lamp
I really like this bar style lighting system. Before I was using a mars hydro from like 2020 that was very ineffective and even though the power draw was the same the other light gave me really fluffy buds around the edges.
Reviews. Tent
Good reliable tent. I beat the hell out of this thing constantly moving it around when its full of things and just today I shoved it through a door and it scraped a bit of the paint onto the tent but the tent is sturdy and dependable. The inside waterproof floor-mat is also a huge bonus.

I have grown one purple punch before and I was expecting similar results. Of my two plants, one turned out similar to my last grow. The other one turned out much differently. Either way both plants are good. I do think that I paid too much for the seeds being that they were 10$ a piece. You can get seeds from the highest quality auto breeders for less than 8$ a seed. Those provide easy grows and quality and quantity every time. That being said, no other complaints than seed price, which is my own fault honestly. I also need to figure out which micronute (maybe Sulphur) increases branch strength.

This is an organic grow using Coast of Maine Organic plant food, and lobster meal. It appears to me that the plant has deficiencies for all the three major nutrients, or lockout, but today it is also showing what appears to be Calcium or Magnesium. I've been using castings too.

You have a PH of 7 if that is correct then your having deficiencies from your plant not able to uptake the nutrients in the soil. Soil should be 6-7 and watering/feeding at 6.5. I would water the next couple at 6.0 then bump it up to 6.2-6.5. As for your feed I could not tell you as I have not grown organic. I'm guessing your feed is sufficient enough and once you correct the PH things will stop getting worse. If you have an EC/PPM pen then you can test your runoff to see if your overfeeding and causing lockout. Happy Growing

I dissected one of the flowers and saw what appeared to be a seed at about 2 weeks of maturity. So still very young. If you do see signs of nanners or seeds, please go through my growdiary and pick out what I did wrong. I cannot identify anything happening this grow that was bad.

I don’t see any sign of intersex flowers/herms or seeded bud. The inside of the bract has an ovule that is what gets pollinated and forms into a seed. The ovules are there before it becomes pollinated and can be mistaken as beginning of seeds forming.

Please rate each picture. The first two pictures go to their own plants but the last two are from the same plant. These plants are about 3 days from breeder time. I am waiting until they are cloudy and probably 5-10% amber.
