9 purple train wrecks, 6 glueberry og, 3 Afghan skunk , 2 moby dick (DWC) , 8 Cheese cuttings which are now rooted, waiting on the other 8 sour BB to root. Learning as I go here, first Crack at dwc. Hopefully I will find some help on here if need be. Both clones are rooted in the hydroton but no roots coming out of the bottom of net pots yet. Water is about 1" below the bottom of the net pots with a ph of 5.8-6. ( bounces throughout the day). 6 week then flip for these guys, I've also got a 3x3 ac infinity tent that will help with this journey as well. Using a fluence spyder fang in the 5x5 and a electric sky 300 v3 in the ac infinity tent.
Wish me luck🙏
UPDATE : couple of days later and all plants/cuttings have bounced back from a little heat stress (tent got to 89 for a couple hours ac didn't kick)
Cuttings In DWC don't seem to be doing much at the moment. I have 8 cheese cuttings and 8 sour BB cuttings ready to tp as well
Changed some things up and had to give up the room I had my tents in and move shop upstairs so there was some stress on the plants during the time being as this was a fair sized job for myself alone. I have ended up with 6 glueberrys, 3 Afghan skunk in the back there which are 2.5 weeks older then the 9 purple train wreck cuttings in the middle of the tent which are about 4-6" tall.
1.5 weeks behind the purple train wrecks lie the 6 cheese cuttings in the front of the tent which have been rooted for about 4-5 days now so they should all take off here any moment now. I have scrapped my try at Deep Water Culture for the time being. So these 24 plants are what will remain here in this tent nothing more added or being taken away. In the propogation tray are 12 purple trainwrecks, 10 sour BB, 8 moby dick cuttings. I will take the healthiest ones and use for my first real try at hydroponics. I will try 2 dwc 5 gal buckets and a 10 pot versagrow system I had ordered which will be here right around the time these all root.. I am well aware I am going to need some tips/advice and I'm sure I'll be asking my fair share of questions throughout that journey but for that I am going to make an entirely new diary. So if there is any help or advise you may be able to give or share in the hydroponic department please keep an eye out. As for this run I plan to veg for another 3-4 weeks depending on how things are looking by then before flipping to 12/12. I am using a fluence spyder fang which I cannot be happier with along with a gavita uvr bar placed between the columns on my fluence fixture. This is my first run with this light big upgrade from my recent Amazon lights. Thanks for stopping by👏
Mid week update: I ended up sticking 2/6 cheese cuttings in dwc just to give it a try. Worst that happens they don't make it and I give 1 of my moms another haircut to make more, however they seem to be really taking off. Each unit has about 7-8 long white roots already touching the water in the res from the netpot. As for the units in the tent. I flipped the larger 12 plants in the back while the purple trainwreckw and cheese cuttings are all still vegging alongside their mothers under neath the electric sky 300. The purple trainwrecks will be placed in the flower tent over the next few days and I'll give the 🧀 another week or 2. I flipped the plants by 24 hours of straight darkness and now the lights will come on today at 10am-10pm
My leaves are browning at tips, lower older leaves but working its way up.some have brown spots as well. Feeding GH micro, grow, calmag. Also sprayed bbg for bug prevention about 5 days ago. Leaning towards K deficiency but would love some advice from someone who may know more?!
GH's Flora series is meant to all be used together... so you ARE missing some important P & K nutes... if you want to follow their "aggressive feed" in veg, you want 3 parts Grow, 2 parts Micro and 1 part Bloom ... I honestly don't think you should run the "aggressive" feed as it looks like they're getting some nute burn - but you've got to get that Bloom in there! The last picture definitely appears to be wanting more potassium.
The first picture is a bit strange - it looks exactly the way one of mine did when the pH spiked high on her... just to be on the safe side, if you haven't calibrated your pen (assuming that's what you use), I would do that. I ended up having to give my lady a lot lower pH than the other strain I've got going... she just couldn't even take a 6.2 (I grow in DWC).
Good luck with all the ladies!
plants flipped about 5 days ago now, foliage and some stretching nothing very exciting at this time. Sprayed BBG for preventative measure and I will one more time in a few days before any sites start to form. I will also add some sticky traps throughout the tent evenly. On day 14 of flower I will do a big defoliation and prune any lower weaker branches/arms. In the back are the glueberry og's and 3 Afghan skunks. They are the oldest by a couple weeks and the biggest noticeably. In the middle there is 9 purple train wrecks that are a bit smaller but gaining some height with the flip. In the front are a couple cheese plants that only vegged for about a week it was either throw them in there or throw them out so we'll see what happens with those. On the left are a couple mothers from the veg that I also just through in there. I will update it with more detail and much better photos once I do my pick next week and get a little better organized
Mid week update: I decided to scrap the back scrog as the plants back there were getting big and needed a good pick and prune. Bit of neglect you could say. I also scrapped the couple cheese units as they were small and would amount to nothing
Couple more weeks before things get a little more exciting. I will be flower day 14 on the 1st of February. Showing alot of bud sites already for the 12th day of flower. Especially on the bigger plants in the back as they were vegged for a few weeks longer then the smaller purple train wrecks in the front. The big guys in the back range from 16-25" tall while the smaller guys are 12-16". I've done a fairly large prune and defoliation to help combat humidity issues in the evenings. 2 small dehums in the tent keep it around 55% with the tent closed and lights off. Without the dehumidifiers it shoots up to around 78-80% so a definite must have. Co2 is cranked and we're hovering around 1000ppm so very pleased about that. I will more then likely just spend the next 2-3 weeks feeding them and staring at them while they do their thing. Lights at 100% @ 12/12 with gavita supplemental uvr strip light. I wanted to say thank you in advance to everyone whose given input and some questions and concerns I've had too. 👍
All is well. 0 issues thus far 🤞 did not want to pick as much as I did but they needed to be raped in order for light to get through to the bottom of the totem pole. Flower day 19 today. I will be cranking the AC mid week to drop evening Temps down to 67 and my day time Temps I'll dial down to 74 while keeping lights at 100% basically I won't touch them from now until day 40 or so where they will get their last pick and I'll take every leaf with a tail off and just leave bud sites and the leaves that are within the actual buds themselves. Feeding will remain the same for now. I am trying to get my hands on some silica as well as a couple of other products. I have not used much else for food in my days other then what is posted and a few other things through out various phases of the plants life. As for now I'll just be patient and continue playing the waiting game 👍
26 days or so into flower. Happy with how things are coming along. Afghan skunks have some catching up to do but the glueberrys and purp Trains chunkiness are making up for it. A cheese and moby dick in the back out of sight are fattening up nicely as well. I changed up my feeds a bit this week following a GH flora chart I found that suggests 2.5ml/G grow, 7.5ml/G micro and 12.5ml/G of bloom. Once a week I feed microbial mass at 4ml/L but I'm actually staying just under the suggested guidelines for this product. I moved 7/11 purple trainwrecks to a smaller tent under the electric sky 300 v3 to accommodate my hydro drip system which was flipped to flower 3 days ago. All in all I'm happy with how everything is going. Excited for these next few upcoming weeks. These are all new strains for me which I have never harvested in the past. I also had an EC pen arrive today so hopefully I can get that figured out and use it to my benefit in the future.
Nothing to report.got my days mixed up I am 34 days flower today. Cut out the liquid koolbloom, started dry koolbloom for next 2 weeks before I begin to flush. Also using big bud from advanced for the next couple weeks. 0 issues thus far fingers crossed. Will crank AC mid week to drop day time highs to 70 and lows to 66, co2 is also cranked with a fresh refill. Trainwrecks are starting to purple in the small tent. Interested to see how they look under the electric sky compared to my 600 watt fluence spyder fang. Same strain same genetics same feeed different light similar environments. Hopefully by next week I'll have something worth while for ya to scroll through... Afghan skunks are finally starting to put on a little weight, wouldn't say much but I'll take anything for those 3 at this point, they're healthy just fuck all there honestly. Glueberrys remain gurthy. Until next time ✌️
Give or take a little which week do your plants leaves fade ? Also dropping Temps to help bring out some beautiful colors in the buds. Which week do you drop Temps ?? I am end of week 5
I’d be willing to bet these aren’t gonna have any significant fade.. can’t really pinpoint exactly why but it looks maybe a bit of overfeeding with N in flower.
You may get some slight chlorosis late on but I doubt you’ll see anything on these.
And as far as the general question- it’s genetics.. I’ve seen it early as hell like week 4 almost.. some hit super late and fast the last week before uou pull. Some not at all.
To really encourage a fade and color change you can also lower your temps as well to between 16 and 17C at night but you'll have to account the RH as well so as not to put your VPD off, if you check out my LA confidentials you'll see some nice purples my temps and Rh are 21C to 42 day time and 17C and 41Rh, looking awesome
Yes, you can get a fade. But you need everything to come together.
Some plants will throw fade off. Then again most will wait, or at least the bulk of fade will appear in your ripening.
And then some just don't throw any fade.
As you get into later stages of flowering you should adjust or try have your lights come on during the hottest part of your day, and off at night. (As I'm assuming that's when it's coldest in at yours)
You can let that temp drop as far down as you'd like during ripening. Well 18c..Ish. I've seen it go further. But, that's cold enough for me in any room of my house. Except drying room. But, as I've said. All phenos are dif. I know you running clones. But, did that pheno fade out. If so, just carry into this grow what you did your last. As the aim of clones is to replicate your past results..
And just 1 more thing. Your growing bud to get high. Not to have fancy leafs. So I wouldn't worry about it too much. But, you like what you like. So, Good luck. But, the aim of the game is to get some good bud, so once that's achieved everything afterwards is a bonus.
Good Growing
Happy with how everything has come. This is my first time flowering ANY of these strains and other then the Afghan I will continue growing these strains over and over until I can't do any better. Co2 is cranked and I've cut back on food just a tad as well as taking some nutrients off the list completely. I'm at beggining of week 6 and I will feed until beginning of week 7 then start flushing them. Excited to do things a bit differently next run now that I know what I am getting myself into
Until next time
About 50 days in, been flushing for a couple of days now. Purple trainwrecks in the smaller tent are now starting to show signs of amber trichs. Everything is really starting to fill out show some gurth. All plants will come down day 60. Learned alot about each strain. Hopefully will do much better next run but none the less i am definitely satisfied. The smell is very strong, buds are hardening off. Ac is cranked Temps are down both daytime and nighttime. Dehum kicks in when lights are out tent is closed. Co2 is cranked right up fresh tank. Time to figure out where I'm going to dry the shit
March 9th, I took a nug of glueberry I had pulled off the stick and dried to give a try. Found a small seed, I had gone through everything else in all strains with a fine tooth comb, ripped buds apart. Absolutely 0 signs of seeds or hermies anywhere. The purple trainwrecks were about 10-20% amber with the rest being milky so they were brought down without a doubt. After racking my brain 7.5 weeks into the run and about 6 flushes later I did not hesitate to take everything down. Everything was mature and just finishing up and I would rather be stuck with that then weed with seeds. Everything is now drying at 63F and dehum is set to 60%. I will update with harvest of each strain sometime in the near future. Anything that does not reach my expectations will get blasted for wax once all is trimmed up. 10 purple trainwrecks, 6 glueberry og, 3 Afghan skunks, 1 moby dick and 1 cheese.
Unfortunately the whole tent came down early due to the fact I found a seed in a glueberry nug I had cut open. The Afghan skunks and the glueberrys definitely could have been pushed another week or two, the purple trainwtecks and the cheese were about 10-20% amber trichs while the moby dick was just starting to show its first couple of amber trichs. First time flowering all these genetics I will be having another go with these knowing what I know now. Happy growing ✌️
