This has been an excellent week for bud growth, and she has finally started slowing down on the upward growth, which is good because I cannot raise the lights any higher.
Halfway through the week I did a full bucket swap. Same neutrients were used, however I wanted to make sure she had enough to get through the week.
The week actually ended one day early to adjust for the harvest schedule. As per what I have read, she is 70 days from seed to harvest, and I did not take into account the 31days in Oct. As such, she is now 14 days from harvest. Late bloom stage this week as well as her midweek bucket change, and next week its Flush time.
She has a really nice smell if you touch her buds, and is Very sticky. Up close, I can smell her, but the fans may be overpowering as it is not as intense as when contact has been made.
This lady really needs a larger tent, but that is not an option at this time. Properly, she should be in at least a 2.5 x 2.5 area to allow her to spread her wings and allow sufficient light to the lower nodes. The light I have seems to be getting pretty deep in, but I cant blame it for not getting all the way. Maybe down the road I can get a 2.5 x 5.0 or 3x5.
Necrotic Leaves caused by Calclium defficiencies. Should they be removed or should they be left on. I removed them from my plant. It appears to have been caused by a PH spike while I was away for 2 days. Plant seems to be recovering, but I removed the leaves yesterday. Thanks.
So..my perspective on when i had leaves that got damaged, I'd evaluate each leaf and if it still had some areas that still appeared healthy i would try and let them ride it out. But if the damage is so severe then were facing the leaf not being able to perform its basic photosynthetic properties, then i would remove. However a leaf thats only partially damaged (spots, etc) the plant can still pull some nutrients and positive plant products from that leaf before it completely dies out. I always see my leaves as photosynthetic real estate and the more available area, the better. (Well up until flowering defoliation time)
I hope the leaf damage stops here and doesn't continue to affect others. Keep up the fight! ✌️🍀
@Autofeather, Thanks. I think week 6 was the worst for me, waiting wise. All home stretch after that lol. I cant wait to try this strain again, just so many others I want to try as well :)
@JerMeds,Thanks. I have been really happy with how she has been doing so far, especially considering my skill levels. Just tells me the equipment is doing most of the work :)
@SHAMMYDOG, I have been extremely fortunate to not have run into any issues as of yet with Green Algae. I will check with a couple buddies who also grow hydro and see if they have had any issues. If I hear anything, I will pass it along.
Nice diary man! Purple kush has always been popular where I live and I’m finally giving it a try this grow and I’m pumped there’s another diary with good information I can compare too, I’m growing it with the exact same breeder also! I’ll have 6 of them in my 3x3 tent and by the looks of your monster it might be too many 😂 I’ll be posting week one in a couple days check it out if your curious!
happy growing man!!
Mid Weed update.
Trichomes are looking about 90% cloudy at this point. No sign of any turning amber, but as of yet, I have been unable to confirm if this strain will or will not go Amber. Most of this cloudiness has come on in the last few days.
Stigma are steadily shrinking and turning a reddish brown color at this point. Approximately 40% have made this change. Most of the change appears to have been in the last few days as well.
Some quick measurements taken today. She has pretty much stopped upward stretch/growth. Any that is being seen appears to be the main cola just filling out in all directions. At this time, the main cola is approximately 7" tall and 2" wide. Can wait to see how thick she gets over the next 2 weeks.😁
