π Week 13, 4-10 January 2024
4 January - Turned light time back 2hrs to a schedule of 14/10, and lowered light power to 50%. This will facilitate ripening by mimicking an autumn environment.
7 January - Flushed system, filled with RO water and 10ml p/gal HG FloraKleen, PH 6.2.
10 January - Turned lights off.
π This was the final week of flowering. It will be followed now by 3 days in darkness, giving a total of 7 days in plain RO water. This provides the proper nutrient flush and a small cannibinoid/terpene boost just prior to harvest. Which will be 13 January. She will then be followed by a 7-14 day curing process, where sheβll hang for 5-7 days until the chlorophyll has dried in the leaves, then trimmed, weighed, put into mason quart jars and burped until a RH of 62% is reached/maintained. While in this state the flower will reach its peak potency/flavor in about 30-40 days, and can last for 6-12 months.
An overall interesting grow. Especially if you like the color purple. She grew rather rapidly for about 6 weeks as expected from an autoflower, then slowed down and flowered simultaniously. Buds are on the smaller side but tight. There certainly was no problem in resin development as she is quite frosty, sticky and smelly. The trichomes have purple and clear stems with milky heads, about 5-10% amber and 10%(+) clear. All white pistils have turned orange or brown. Genetics are very stable with no signs of foxtailing or hermaphroditism. The only problem Iβve had was with nutrient sensitivity in flower phase - specifically week 8. It will depend on the end product quality as to whether I will grow this strain again or not.
My final update will run a few days later than usual, but will include the Harvest and Smoq review information. I want everyone to know I appreciate all the support, likes, looks, follows, mentions and speedy answers to my questions! You are all phenomenal! Muchas gracias! Vielen dank! Π‘ΠΏΠ°ΡΠΈΠ±ΠΎ!

That is it for this week. Thanks for the look, read and stopping by.
Thanks for stopping by @Hologram, from what Iβve seen, usually nothing Runtz about her, but we will see if I have the same type of grow. Quality over quantity in any case, with a smile watching her bloom! βοΈ
