This is a buckeye Purple grow from Melvanetics. This is my third run with my notill soil blend. Water only with occasional compost brew blend to feed the microbes in the soil. Using a 900w viparspectra led light, with veg mode on a 18/6 cycle. It is being grown in a 3x3x5 grow box, with 4 plants. One BuckeyePurple is being grown outdoors.
Water only this last week. Went on vacation for 5 days so just gave them a nice soak before I left and they did great. That is a great part of growing with led can leave for a while and plants will be ok...👍. I haven't been growing very long, but this plant seems much more delicate than other stuff I've grown. The leaves are very soft and velvety. So let's see how this goes
Week 5 watered once this week. This is a very slow growing plant. But the plants could not be happier. Waiting to take cuttings of each soon. Hope to get that burgundy colored phenom of the buckeye purple light
Been doing a lot of Super Cropping over this last week. Think it slowed the growth down but allows me to really shape the plant the way I want. Gave them some tea yesterday. With fish bone meal, kelp meal, and molasses
Big week with the new DIY LEDs. The garden has a whole new look and I'm super happy with how it turned out. Compost tea feeding today ladies should be happy.
Gonna flip the plants at the end of the week. Hoping for all females 😳. We will see shortly. Plants had great growth this last week. Loving the new lights. No more training gonna give a trim up in a couple of days before the flip!!
2 days into flower still not sure of any males in the mix. Keeping my fingers crossed. The females with the burgundy color show in the first 3 weeks of flower the dark purple veins in the leaves. So hope I get a few of those phenoms.
Week 3 of flower and plants are settling in nicely. Gave the plants a top feeding of some of my super soil....and will water in a little bit.... half a Dixie cup every other week seems to do the trick... The plant are showing there different pheno traits. The back right plant seems like it's gonna be the burgandy phenom.. love this grow so far can't wait!!!
The heat had me nervous this week but they made it out without a hitch. Didn't do much at all this week with these ladies just watered twice. Second watering added a little fish bone meal, molasses, aloe Vera, and algae to the water to fuel those microbes...
So this is the first week when I opened my grow box I noticed the sweet smell of skunky artificial grape stank...lol... not super strong but definitely there. Still waiting for the colas to really pack on the weight. Gave a little top dressing of some super soil and watered twice this week. The hairs have been growing like crazy this week on the buds. Grow has been a lot of fun so far mainly because of how photogenic these ladies are!!!
This week was pretty mellow. Not much done. Watered twice this week, with second watering made some compost tea I brewed up on Thursday. Plants seem very happy. Smell is getting a little stronger. Not sure I have smelled anything some grapey. Very strange doesn't even seem real...lol. Loving this grow!!!
Heading into week 8. Estimating about 10 days til harvest. Have 4 very different phenoms. Starting to really stink. Grow area smells like skunky grape gobstoppers. Can't wait to taste these ladies. Was gone for 3 days this week and came back to perfectly happy ladies. Best part of growing with LEDs. Can leave with little to no worries. Happy growing all!!!!!!
Just finished week 8 of flower 🤕. Plants are not finishing up when I thought they would. Taking longer than I wanted...😤...seems like a couple may have a week or more left. Back right plant is getting close 3 to 4 more days. Will update when that one is harvested. Trying to stay patient. Hopefully they go into over drive this has been a long Grow... happy growing all!!!
So we are at about day 70 of flower 🌺. Still not ready for 3 of these ladies😤. Took down the back right plant last night she was ripe and ready. Hung her up after a lite trim, and she will dry in my jimmy rigged drying tub for about 10 days will weigh her then
So took down plant number 2 today. This plant is not as purple as the others, more of a pink phenotype. But this one is covered in tricombs and smells very sweet and tart. The 2 that are left should finish at the same time looks like one week left on them. Can finally see the finish line..... happy growing guys
Been super busy so lagged on getting this posted. All plants are down and currently drying. The weather has gotten chilly so taking longer to dry than I would like. Super excited to get it jars and all cured up. First plant is all done and came out bomb af.... a couple of friends didn't even think it was real..lol.. because it was to purple.... the potency is totally there on this one ☝️ sometimes purple lacks that but this stuff has it all. Bag appeal, smell, taste, and potency!!! This is not a commercial strain due to the slow growth and average yield, but a conasuers dream. Didn't weight wet weight, but will post final dry weight
This plant is a slow growing strain heavy on the Indica side. Is a connoisseur strain not recommended for commercial Grow. To slow if in it to make some money. But was a pleasure to grow. It is definitely a head turner and is more potent than most purple stains I have tried before. So if ya got time and like something truly special give it a go...happy growing guys0
