OVERALL OBSERVATIONS: A bit less hot this week so I was able to keep temperatures below 80 in the grow space. It was hot today and this girl is not keen on heat! Pistils are not as brown as showing in images. This plant is the most prolific and the buds are really fat and dense. It's really difficult to photograph because it's in the back and has some big fan leaves covering big buds. It smells wonderful. This is supposedly a heavy indica like LA Confidential, narcotic and good for pain and sleep.
SMELLS: Platinum Purple still smells like a grape Jolly Rancher.
WATERING: Switched to bottled water which the plants are loving I've needed to water almost every other day because of both the increased size of the plants and the heat. I'm actually posting an image here of what an underwatered plant looks like. It is so sad! This girl needs a lot of water.
NUTRIENTS: Added back a little bit of bloom nutrients and cal mag but I'm not sure what my reasoning on that was. Mostly just water on each watering for the other plants but this one seems to like a little extra.
PESTS: Noticed some fungal gnats but I got them quickly with diatomaceous earth over the soil. I've been so careful not to keep moist soil but with it drying out every other day this has been difficult. Added a tiny bit of SM90 to water (1 tsp/quart). No noticeable eggsacks or leaf nibbling otherwise.
IMAGES: All non purple images now taken under a 100w incandescent clip light with an iPhone 6s Plus.
@TheFairyBudMother, great stuff i'd love to start a worm farm just not yet... i think building your soil is the way to go.. but till then... i mix coco fiber with my canna soil 1:4 then add the scoops of mycorrhizae needed and voila my gurlz drink like champions!! :) hopefully it'll work for others!
@JUNGLE_B4RNS, I rewatched the videos. That guy repeats himself a lot! But it makes more sense now. It's very overwhelming to take in all the little details of cannabis cultivation when you're just starting.
Thanks for your help. I can't wait to grow again but it will have to wait about a month. In the meantime if I have time and energy, I may cook my own soil mix, and I am definitely starting a worm farm.
Fairy bud mother where have you been my whole life? I've been searching for my bud mother lol jkjk but on a real note I like your style, your buds look beautiful! Smoke the bomb stay calm and grow on chika 😉
