White Widow & Purple Kush 2019

Finally some purple on our Purple Kush! This update is actually a day early but I couldn't hold out. Heard from another grower that this strain tends to have a long bloom period so I'm holding out for a lot more purple as we approach harvest. The PK is still unimpressive overall, not packing much weight or trichome density, but perhaps it'll really come through toward the end. Contrary to the previous update, and as I learn more, I'm less inclined to believe the genetics are poor; I think their soil is depleted of particular cultures required for bioavailability of nutes, or there is nutrient lockout of some sort. Which is my fault, for vegging them for an excessive time, and not recognizing and addressing the soil issue promptly. I think I'm going to try switch to an organic compost soil sometime soon. As for the WW, they are looking frosty and are on schedule for their week ~9 harvest, but given that this is a new mother, I'll keep a close eye going forward to be sure they don't need longer.
