PURPLE SHOT - Exotic seed

WILLIAMSII_Fr_Farm Day 5, the emergence from the soil and the start of veg is going very well for now. I will be able to start the feeding.

WILLIAMSII_Fr_Farm Here are the two others that are late and the 3rd PURPLE SHOT which is doing quite well. Just like the other one, I turned the plants in the tent and they should bounce back.

WILLIAMSII_Fr_Farm 3rd week and all the plants are off to a good start. Now we just have to let them grow a bit...

WILLIAMSII_Fr_Farm Last day of the 4th week of VEG and I'm still having some deficiency issues with the biggest of the 3... its lack of calcium has blocked nutrient absorption, which led to early signs of deficiencies in Phosphorus and Potassium; I gave it a little PK supplement just for her, hoping that the problem gets resolved. Launching the 12/12 starting tonight.

WILLIAMSII_Fr_Farm 5th week for these ladies who are about to become women, as the 1st week under 12h/12 has activated pre-flowering in all my girls. I did a little defoliation of the lowest nodes because some of the leaves were quite damaged. I added PK 50/33 to 1 watering because they need more than the other varieties; I had some old leaves from the biggest one that were quite marked due to an early phosphorus deficiency and slight potassium deficiency... as you can see in the photos, the problem seems to be resolved now.

WILLIAMSII_Fr_Farm 6th week and +13 days of flo for these ladies and I realize that these purple shots are big indicas and stocky like a rugby player after the holiday season but extremely small... so for those who will grow this strain, don't be afraid to leave them in VEG to gain some height. Otherwise, still the same, I have 2 in great shape and the 3rd one doing well but needing much more nutrients than the others; namely, Phosphorus and Potassium that I’m currently adding every other watering. The most surprising thing is that it resembles the other two and shouldn’t need more; maybe the differences will be more noticeable when the flowers are formed. Speaking of flowers, I’m going to pay close attention to nutrition during this phase, and I’m starting by stopping the KASHMIR ROOTS which is only useful during VEG and for a short time in mid-flo... The growth chart evolves a lot during flowering because the plant has various needs at very specific times starting from the coming week... So my nutrient chart for the upcoming week looks like this: PH: 6.0 Cal/Mag: 1ml/L THE MESSIAH: ^+0.5ml/L =1.5ml/L KASHMIR ROOTS: - -ml/L STEM STRAIGHT: 1ml/L AFGHAN NECTAR: 1ml/L CONFIG: Lights: 2x P2000 @ViparSpectra {400w} Tent: 1.2/1.2/2m @ZELSIUS Nutrients: @INDICANUTRIENTS #onepartstarterkit

WILLIAMSII_Fr_Farm The girls are finishing their 4th week of flowering and everything is going well except for a few signs of nitrogen toxicity, which are more or less pronounced depending on the genetics and phenotypes of the plants. To address this unfortunate overdose, it’s been 6 days since I removed the nitrogen base from the One Part - INDICA NUTRIENTS (The Messiah) from my mix, and kept everything else while increasing the Cal/Mag to 1.5/L. The calcium should help the plants absorb nutrients more easily. Of course, we don’t want to disrupt the flowering (which is looking pretty good by the way), so I’m giving a PK supplement to my plants... but I’ve noticed that the 13/14 is often not enough and the 50/33 is sometimes too much... I’m ultimately using both alternately and for now I find that the plants are responding well. To be continued...

WILLIAMSII_Fr_Farm Hey everyone, second to last update before harvesting all of this. It's already been a week since I started the flushing and I can already see signs of senescence appearing with those beautiful colors standing out. Just one more solid week and I can harvest the fruit of my hard work. At this stage, there aren’t any specific tasks to do except for a final defoliation (which is just a little extra for your long-awaited sap rise) 1.5 weeks before harvest; remove all the feeder leaves from the first three quarters of the branches, leaving only those covered in trichomes (even just a tiny bit at the base, keep them and remove the others [take the opportunity to make a tea with the leaves; very rich in nitrogen, it will be useful in the garden for growing your veggies or even for your weed]) And there you go, friends, just let my girls ripen, and then it’s harvest time ;-)

WILLIAMSII_Fr_Farm 56th day for the PURPLE SHOT and all the others with it, and it's time to harvest; 8 full weeks and they are at their best. Summary: They, like their counterparts, have all been greedy for CalMag due to their rapid flowering speed, but there are no particular demands or notable issues regarding this superb strain from Exotic Seed.
