Granddaddy Purple-1000w- (1.6p Harvest)

Drtomb Thinned the sucker branches and started the scarecrow method.

Drtomb I missed pictures of the first flowering week. I kind of decided to show you my Granddaddy Purple grow last minute. I have a total of 6 lights with 6 different strains, so it get time consuming to track them all for you guys. This is one 4x4 section full of Granddaddy Purple. When I flipped these a week ago they were approx 25". They have already grown about 10".

Drtomb Already upto a height of 40". Using the 'scarecrow method' still, one more week of branch removal and the this girls will be smooth sailing.

Drtomb Starting week 4 of Flower. I expect things to slow on the upwards growth as the plant shifts focus onto the bud development. Ran out of potassium silicate. Will be continuing with out it for the rest of the grow. Ran out of potassium silicate. Will be continuing with out it for the rest of the grow. Started to notice a slight smell when leaving the door open and returning after a few minutes. This started in the last couple days

Drtomb Start of Week 5 I have two sections of plants growing from the same feeding resivour. For the first time ever I've decided to do a mid grow flush. I ran through 1-2gal of water on each 5 gal bucket. I use only perlite as medium so I figured that I wouldn't need much to flush. It all drained back to the main resivour and I disposed of it. I ran a 24hr cycle of straight PHed tallboy filtered tap water (160ppm) and then drained that again (340ppm). I refilled the resivour with fresh nutes and PHed again (1100ppm)

Drtomb I did a res change on Tuesday. These girls are just sucking back nutes. Started my res at 1020ppm on Friday by Tuesday im down to ~500ppm. The Granddaddy Purple girls are getting very crystallized. Hoping over the next 3 weeks that they really start to fatten up. The less leafy variation also has less thc crystals.

Drtomb Well it's that time again, flushing begins. I'm about 2 weeks away from finishing off the screen. I've gone around to each pot and watered from the tops with tallboy filtered water (160pp). I've changed the res over to PH'ed water with a touch of Laguna Bio Sludge Control. This should allow the plants to soak up any remaining nutrients in the leaves, and if there's any dead roots the biosludge will break it down and feed it as more nutrients for the final finishing.

Drtomb One last week of PH'ed water and pond treatment bacteria. Give or take a few days by trichome check.

Drtomb Was hoping for a bit more production from these granddaddy purples. Using my normal 20% dry weight, it looks like I'll be ending up with around 1.62p dry. I had two versions of the plant. One was very leafy, with leaves that pointed to the air the whole grow. It was covered in crystals and had a sweet stank to it. The other was a much less leafy plant with a sweeter smell less stank. It also resulted in less bud weight. Here's the breakdown. Total wet weight was 3680g. Pot 1:951 Pot 2: 855 Pot 3: 708 Pot 4: 640 (the sweeter smelling plant) Pot 5: 520 Ill update with dry weight once the 2 week cure is done.
