Purple Ghost Candy

Ak743 Soil - purple ghost candy strain Seed A: Soil - germinated on march 3

Ak743 Week 2 veg: photos show the weeks progress from the last update. Starting to see a lot of new nodes. This coming week I will likely top the soil plant once 6 nodes high. Using Humboldts secret nutrients.

Ak743 Topped the soil plant last Sunday and growth has really started to take off. Did some additional fan leaf pruning today and removed some baby nodes on the new branches to ensure it’s focused on more growth this week. Overall super happy with how it’s looking.

Ak743 Did a lot of LST this week, I’m determined to get a nice even canopy with all main branches. Put up the net today (probably alittle early) she’s just starting to spread out. Did a lot of pruning/ defoliation on any fan leaves blocking light to the lower branches.

Ak743 Did a lot of lST again this week, really happy with how even the canopy is currently. Going into week 6, now will just wait until she gets a little larger to flip her.

Ak743 Another week of defoliation, LST, and some more topping. Now that I have the branches nicely spaced I’ll let the plant focus on some vertical growth this week. Depending on how we look come next week I’ll likely flip to flower. I did take a few cuttings this week as well, will see if we can turn any of these into some new plants.

Ak743 Officially the last week of veg, flipped her to 12/12 last night. Excited to see the stretch this coming week as we begin flower

Ak743 Week 1 of flower down, starting to see some good growth, bud sites forming.

Ak743 Week two of flower down. Plant is getting larger by the day, and is drinking more water. Continuing with nutrients every other watering. So far so good!

Ak743 A little defoliation at the beginning of the week. Bud sites are already looking frosty! I pulled some of the center branches to the side in the Scrog net to get some additional light to the buds going down the branches. Tops are all looking good.

Ak743 Added an additional light this week- trying to ensure that the bud sites get as much light exposure as possible.

Ak743 Buds are growing! Did some defoliation this week. Noticed the start of Nut burn on a few leaves this morning so flushed her with clean water. While we had her out we went ahead and cleaned out the tent before situating the branch’s back in the scrog. Will keep an eye on and feed plain water again later in the week.

Ak743 Did a few more flushes earlier in the week to address the nutrient burn that started to creep up. Realized from testing the runoff water that my ph coming out was 5, and ppm was reading 2000. Continued to flush with ph water until runoff was at 6 ph, and 1000ppm. Will check again in a few days once she dries back out but hopeful I got all the excess salts out. It’s been a challenge to keep the tent cool as well, was spiking up to 85 some days. Any tips on cooling would be appreciated! Really want to engage the purple coloring and keeping it cooler is key.

Ak743 Buds are growing by the day! Focus this week has been on trying to trigger the purple coloration. Changed up some nutrient ratios and have been making sure it doesn’t reach above 79 degrees in the day. Seeing the bud sites becoming very frosty. Smell is amazing.

Ak743 Starting to see some milky trichs forming

Ak743 Entering the final 2 weeks. Starting to see amber trichs forming on the sugar leaves. Flush in progress.

Ak743 Home stretch! Starting to see some amber beginning to pop up- definitely very milky. Flush continuing, leaves are getting darker. Had to readjust the branches in the scrog this week as many are no longer able to support themselves.

Ak743 Doing chop tomorrow

Ak743 Harvested this morning. Went ahead and did a wet trim, they are now hanging to dry. Very happy with this harvest from just a single plant. 7/18: all buds were cut off and canned today. Humidity levels look great. Got a final dry weight of 92g. I dried the sugar leaves from the wet trim and used those to make some butter.
