Welcome to a new journey. I am happy that you are reading this. This time, I will grow Purplematic CBD, a very interesting and special pure CDB strain. I put the seed in a wet paper towel in a plastic bag and after two days I planted it into a jiffey.
Update 21/8 (Day 3): I planted the seedling into her final 11 l standard pot. I filled the pot with Aldi Bio soil and on top I put Plantura herb soil which is less fertilized; i also added some Dynomyco Mycorrhizal, as always. For the next days, I will put her into the basement under the SanLight with 40% on 18-6.
Purplematic CBD is striving in the warm basement under the SanLight EVO 3-80 at 40%. I see a little progress every day. In the next week, I will put her outside for a few hours into the sunshine.
The seedling is striving in the warm basement under the SanLight at 40% for 18 hours. The conditions are ideal. The girl already has several new nodes. I have never seen such rapid growth at the beginning of the vegetative phase. But there are also the first gnats showing up, although I used new soil. I will probably buy some SF Nematodes to prevent a plague.
Purplematic CBD is growing nicely in the basement. Everything looks perfect, except for the gnats that become more every day. I ordered SF Nematodes as capsules (already and applied) and living (delivery probably on Thursday) and hope to solve to problem by next Sunday.
Purplematic CBD is growing like crazy, more than doubling in size in the last week. I did not add any fertilizer to the Aldi Bio soil, yet. The SF Nematodes did their job, only a few gnats are flying around. Preflowering has started.
Purplematic CBD is marching on. She has started flowering and made another jump to 53cm. I still did not feed any nutrients, just the Aldi Bio soil, in which she was planted. Some leaves are slightly curled and dark green, which hints at too much nitrogen, but I will just ignore that. The same is true for the few gnats, against which I used some more SF nematodes. She usually is in the basement, but I allowed her two sunny days this week. Today will be probably the last day, on which I can put her outside, so I hope she enjoys it.
Purplmematic CBD is growing slowly. Unfortunately, the leaves directly at the flowers are crippled and hanging. Since I treated her identically to Solomatic CBD which has no problems at all, I am somewhat clueless what to do. I started giving her a little more water, which seemed to help a little, but the pot is already quite heavy. My much younger Tangerine Dream Auto has a similar problem. Maybe it was the whole day in the sun last Sunday, which stressed them out. We will see ...
The lady has stopped growing at 60cm and is now working on her buds. She has recovered a little from her nitrogen overdose. However, I am a little disappointed with the structure of the plant, there is not much going on in lateral growth; she basically only has the main stem with buds. Has anyone else the same observation with this genetic?
Purplematic CBD develops her few buds nicely. I fed her with just water and Alga Bloom (4ml/l). My SanLight was at 75% (of 190W). Not much else to do :-)
The buds continue to fatten. In the soil, fungus is growing; I assume this is not a problem in bio soil. I was away for the week and my son inadvertently gave her mineral bloom fertilizer (NPK 4-8-10) instead of Alga Bloom, which did not hurt. I will continue to do this for this and next week. Then I plan to harvest.
We have reached 10 weeks and the lady is in the final weeks of her life. I feeded her with either Alga Bloom or Wuxal Blütenpracht (NPK 5-8-10). I will look at the trichoms later this week and decide when to stop giving her nutrients.
Purplematic CBD got some calcium and will be harvested in the next days. She looks very nice, but there are only a few buds. We will see whether taste and effect will make up for the small quantity.
Purplematic CBD is in the dark chamber since yesterday and I will cut her tomorrow. Her buds are compact and full of trichoms. I will keep you updated.
