Another great week for the bush. I could not be happier of the results so far.
Purplematic: the girl started flowering at week 3 and it s now starting its 6 weeks showing its unique shades of purple. It continues to be ahead of all in terms of flowering stage because has spent one week less vegetating. Its small size will impact the final harvest, and if things continue to be smooth, in my opinion this plant will give an average of 40-50g of dry red berry smelling nuggets. As it s focusing its growth on the 3 main colas the flower will be very dense and full of trichomes. That will he the case if something does not start to go bad…hopefully does not!!
CBD 20:1: the lady has delayed its flowering due to my fault. As I have already mentioned, it is not a strain happy to undergo LST, so tends to grow very tall with long main colas. Which for me it s not an option so I had to top its main cola e while bending it I damaged two branches which fully recovered in a couple of days. The plant delayed flowering by 2 weeks to hail. My guess is that this plant will be the most prolific as has spent that time to put stronger roots and vegetation. Once it will start flowering will have a lot of resources available to boost its flowers beyond the other two. My guess is that this plant will produce 70-80g of dry nuggets divided in 3 main colas and couple if side branches. In fact it s the only plant that is finding insufficient boosting its 3 colas and ia channeling part of its energies creating additional small branches, conversely to the other two. Hopefully everything goes well and I ll see the results materialising as I expect. As the flowers have just started forming it has not yet revealed its smell and potential flavour.
Pink Kush: the lady is doing well, and it s starting showin its big flowers along its main colas. Its branches have become stiffer than the CBD20:1, impossible to bend without breaking. So again, this is not a recommended strain for LST, but nevertheless I am working with it quite well and considering its size I would expect 70-80g of dry flowers. I did not notice any “pink” coloration yet, but I d expect some degree of pink coming up next week. Nothing else to note at this stage as it has not revealed its smell and potential flavour. As trichomes are just starting forming.
Overall, for all 3 I m cutting down N and boost PK. 2L of water every other day, alternating 650-750ppm with a watering of no nuts and only biohaven and activera, in order to slow down the deterioration of the soil, its salinity and improve overall uptake of the plants.
See you next week!
