Very small for 3 weeks, just gave a 1st feed & raised the light to 50cms after looking at other Purple lemonade auto diaries. I just hope she's starts to stretch soon 🙏
Still smaller than I'd like after looking at other diaries but, this is only my second tent grow, so I'm still learning. About 18ms & just in to week 4, I started my diary prematurely & another week got added after 3 days when the seed popped
Shes grown by over a 3rd this week & is 30cms high now. Fingers crossed all seems well atm, some nice buds developing & a faint smell.
I watered 3 times , all water stands for at least 24hrs & then ph down to 6.2
Slight defoliation this week, just a few leaves blocking bud sites.
Ramped up the feeding on growing grannies advice & fingers crossed she puts on some timber.
Can't put how much biobuzz down i use, as its never the same, depending on how long I let the tap water stand before using
She hasn't grown much in height , seems to of concentrated on filling out. Faint scent when I open the tent . Has been watered twice this week & due a feed soon .
Really starting to pack on some weight this week. Upped the bloom nutrients again , this girl is hungry. Sadly no sign of any purple yet, but starting to smell devine.
I think she will go another 2 weeks at least.
Due a feed tomorrow , hopefully its the last one she'll need.
Top bud seems to be changing colour a little, I might get a purple bud after all.
You want to always practice the routine of water/feed/water/feed... two feeds in a row is not wise at all - it could lead to toxicities, excesses building up in the soil...
Good luck! She looks great!
Start of week 10 & she's still filling out.
Sadly not much purple & smell has changed to parma violet sweets & pine. Rather like a lavender toilet cleaner !
Really hope this is temporary & the lemon
smell returns 🙏
Due a feed tonight as looking nowhere near the finish line yet.
Yes, you should - flowers don't need a lot of nitrogen but they do need some ... but I'm wondering if you aren't nearing the time you need to harvest these beautiful buds (and they ARE beautiful!). Have you checked the trichs on them? I say this because the pistils are nearly all brown which is usually a good indication that the plant has or is about to reach peak... Grab a jewelers loupe or take a REAL close shot of the bud so you can see what color the trichs are... I'll bet you it's almost done...
Good luck!
It's still pretty hard to tell - but to ME it looks like they're becoming all cloudy... Now it's going to depend on what it is you want from your weed. If you only want a head-high, harvest when all the trichs are cloudy... if you want a combination of head-high with a good body relaxation, wait until you can see about 10-20% amber... if you wait longer than that, you'll be stuck on your couch - but some people want that! I'd still tell you to get a jewelers loupe - they're pretty inexpensive... Go ahead and feed her .... you probably have at least another week...
Cheers!
@Newbie87, oh man well at least you found it. Mines still moving oh so slow. I've got gmp clones that are doing alright. I've got some nutrients now. All I need is a better light. Lol. Good luck with your wee one.
@Apple_Jack514, that was the idea of growing Gorilla cookies through winter. It can take the cold temperature of lights out in the tent. My heating rarely drops beneath 18C in the house, but the tent can drop to 15C with in intake fan during lights out.
@Apple_Jack514, I'd never of found it again it was so tiny lol 😆 It still hasn't managed to stand up ! It has one more day or I'll be starting another purple lemonade.
Ahh I'm so jelly. Those buds are looking really healthy. I see some purple in there, I hope it darkens up for you. Mine is still retaining that lemony smell. But she has like a week or two left.
@Newbie87, oh the radiator sounds way smarter then the microwave lol. I'm going to have to steal half a page out of your book. I'm glad it smells nice and funky for you!! I can't wait to see what you grow next. And I finally cut mine down last night! I'm hopeful it'll dry real well and not be so leafy.
@Apple_Jack514, it's a nice smooth smoke, I'm happy 😊. I dried a larfy bud on a radiator over a 24hour period. Smells like fruit salad now with lemon & strawberry 🍓
@Apple_Jack514, it will all get better on your second grow & a decent light makes all the difference.
I'm a little sad it didn't go as purple as yours, though.
Hey @Newbie87,
Thanks a bunch for growing our Purple Lemonade Auto, and sharing this diary with us :)
We hope that it was a nice experience, and that you enjoy the harvest!
Have a nice weekend
I see a smidge of purple in there. I'm happy for you. ☺️ looks like you and I might be tasting this beauty at the same time. Good luck friend. I hope she darkens up for you.
Hey! Nice grow buddy. I am also trying out a purple lemonade autflower and mine has started flirting but it seems really short and stubby. How do I stretch the plant more? I've used no nutrients... Yet.. please help. I have plenty of pics. I'm using a 1000w led full spectrum and home mixed soil.
