1 x White Label Purple Bud & 1 x RQS Purplematic CBD - Automatics in Custom LS using GHF Bio (Grow / Bloom / Enhancer - no other additives)
- popped directly in the medium - 9 litre plastic pots
- custom living soil mix
- 2 - 3 days germination time
- just watering when dry
- keeping RH high during the first couple of days after sprouting
Day 16 (PB) / 13 (PM)
- watered them with ~ 1 L de-chlorinated tap water every 3-4 days increasing the dosage. Added 0.19 g epsom salt / Liter due to heavy Mag-deficiency of our tap water (CalMag ratio @ 18:1)
- Purplematic seem to have more trouble with low RH (47 % @ 27-29 °C) due to current weather conditions. Leaf tips curling/crinkling upwards i guess 😕
- in two days or so i´ll consider training the Purple Bud Auto ...
I´m thrilled to see what GHF Bio fertilizer is capable of 😊
- installed a Levoit Smart Humidifier to handle the low rh better
- topped, defoliated the Purple Bud Auto
Hope she´s not too pissed and continue to veg a bit more.
02.08. - placed some bags with predetor mites on the surface of both Auto´s cause the place was crawling with fungus gnats
07.08.
- needed to remove the top of the Purplematic as it shaded the lower nodes big time
- Purple Bud is looking good sofar - nothing to do her
- watered both plants with ~ 1 Liter of dechlorinated tap water with 1 tblsp. GHF Enhancer
04.08.
- the Purple Bud Auto is growing nicely
- after topping her the other day she´s recovering very fast and i decided to remove some more foliage and nodes that i consider too much
- still hoping the predator mites doing their job. A lot of fungus gnats airborne
- increasing the watering dosage
15.08.
- watering day. About 1 Liter dechlorinated tap water
- minor defoliation
- adjusting LST
13.08.
- soil was still moist so i´m waiting another 1-2 days to water them
- defoliated the Purple Bud (PB Auto) one big - hopefully last - time during veg
- for the Purplematic (PM Auto), i´ve just removed some upper fan leafs shading the lower nodes
- adjusting the training stakes
- they´re about to flip into flower very soon
12.08.
- the Purple Bud Auto is doing great. She´s also showing signs of maturing; not flowering yet
- the Purplematic Auto is - literally - a few days behind. She´s also showing some signs of maturing ... a little early
- just watering the plants, when dry
- adjusting the training stakes & defoliating when seem necessary
01.09.
- lollipopped them both
- cause the Purplematic being so flat and bushy i´m not sure u can even call it "lollipopping" 😁Defoliating her anyways ..
- the difference in height between both of plants is huge
19.09.
- the PB Auto doing well. She´s stacking some nice buds starts to smell nice. She´s a heavy drinker
- i´m dissapointed with the PM CBD. While visual appealing, she smell´s very "planty" and nothing like advertised. Being very small & compact, too, i do not expect any decent outcome. Don´t know if she´s unhappy with her pot being to small
26.09.
- top dressed the PurpleBud Auto with a couple of tblsp. GHF BioBloom, Soft Rock Phosphate and Bokashi + as booster to the end of her life cycle
- the leafs now transition from yellow to purple ... still missing the eponymous color "Purple" in the flowers ...
- Purplematic CBD remains very short 'n compact. Don´t expect much yield ... pitty
24.09.
- leafs started turning yellow. Is that normal after 40 days of flower ?
08.10.
- White Label Purple Bud Auto needs another week or two
- RQS Purplematic seem ready - i just give her a couple more days
06.10.
- watering day
- just phed water to ~ 6.4
04.10.
- defoliated Purple Bud Auto to improve light penetration to the lower lower budsites, as well as better airflow
- noticed a few too many 3-finger leafs ... hmm ...
01.10.
- defoliated the Purplematic to improve airflow
- the canopy was just too dense and some moisture was building up between the buds
30.09.
- just LSTíng
- water when dry
19.10.
- defoliated her again by removing curled / dry leafs
- didn´t water her for 4 days straight now ...
- she somehow stopped to develope milky trichomes ... instead, they´re skipping milky and get amber ... she seem to be stressed somehow
I hope the dry spell will trigger her.
Plant was really compact. Not much yield expected. The plant seemed good-to-go in veg, but stopped growing week 3 - 4 almost entirely. Dunno if it´s due to overfertilizing her with Grow amendmends ... but the Purple Bud Auto showing same signs (3-finger leafs, compact growth).
I´ll definitely grow her second time ! Then i´ll draw my final conclusion.
Finally chopping her down ! She looked quite dry and somewhat sad :-)
176 g wet & trimmed plus 25 g trim left overs going into the freezer.
The buds are nice and compact and the smell is amazing ! Can´t wait vaping it. But for now she´s drying for 5 days in the Cannatrol !
23.10.
- chop chop day !
- didn´t water her for about 2 weeks straight
Memo to my future self: do not over-fertilize soil for Automatics ! 😁
Grow report closed !
