Colour me purple

Method 🎚️ I’m allowing 1 volume slide emoji for the method because there was, at least, an attempt to train this girl (even if almost every part of the method was a fail). If I have any silent haters on here that have been waiting for me to undeniably screw up a grow, wait no longer because nothing went right on this one and most of it is entirely my own fault. At seedling, she was planted in a compost mix that was Wayyyy too hot. She almost didn’t make it and her initial couple leaves were deformed and totally weird as a result. She was supposed to be done outdoors but instead was transplanted to a 7gal. Coco pot in early veg. For reasons unknown (I was probably stoned to the point of stupid) I neglected to immediately start a nute regimen and instead opted to throw down some biotabs. By this time it was week 4 or so and a time released nute isn’t exactly gonna work well at this point🙄. Thankfully I came to my senses (or at least a moment of sobriety) a few days later and as the severe nutrient deficiency progressed I started hitting it heavy with a full compliment of grow nutes and supplements. She recovered. That said, the error resulted in a 2 week delay on the flip necessitating her move from the main (larger) cabinet to the smaller, single plant cabinet. No choice but to segregate er and hope that we could control the growth through plant training. From here we encountered our next issue - she recovered really well but was gonna end up a massive, branchy mess if we didn’t do some serious training. We tried a scrog net to control this and it was a partial fail - easily the ugliest scrog you’ve ever seen. But, it did serve its purpose to keep the canopy as low as possible. After the flip she stretched so much that we had to supercrop the tallest branch or she was gonna get torched by the grow light. So let’s recap - poorly planned plant size vs. Grow environment. No plan with respect to nute schedule. Poorly managed training schedule. Poorly managed training. No legit plan for anything. It’s kinda embarrassing to be honest😬. Medium: 🥥🥥🥥🥥 Lighting: ☀️☀️☀️ Coco’s always a reliable option and growing medium when indoors. Love that it’s reusable and how quickly it dries out. The speed of growth is advanced compared to soil and its neutrality in terms of nutrients is awesome when you want to flush it out prior to chop. Medium only loses one emoji because (although a benefit indoors) it lacks the nutrient holding ability of soil that can sometimes save ur bacon with more finicky strains. Grew this one out under a 450w vipar but I’m told the true wattage is significantly less than that by about half. She took to this lamp really well and while it’s not the Cadillac of light fixtures that my cob rig is proving to be, she gets the job done time and time again. 3 sun emojis for doing what it’s supposed to. Losing marks only for a lack of power and that the results will never be as good as they could be. We’ll take the yield on this grow any day however😉👍. Yield🌴🌴🌴🌴🌴 She could’ve been that much better if I’d not botched every step of the grow. Despite this we ended up with some incredibly large and extremely dense nugs. This was despite exceptionally long intermodal spacing too. I have to give this plant a full 5 of 5 tree emojis because what she produced was surprising to say the least. It’s simple in the end I guess - bigger pot = bigger yields. The numbers are as follows; 179.3 grams/0.28m2 - this roughly equates to 640g/m2 which is a super high average yield for most plants. That’s 6.3oz of high quality sativa goodness within roughly 2.5sq/ft👌🤘😎✊. Props Again we gotta thank GD for offering up this platform for all of us to share on. Bunch doped out potheads - the lot of ya! And also everyone that swung in to drop a comment for this one. It’s straight awesome to hear from so many like minded people just look’n to share what they do. Harvest season is quickly coming to a close y’all🤘. My best to everyone trying like me to get to the end of it🤞😎👊.
