Purple Lemonade FF by FastBuds

Rastalf ​I don't have a better photo, but here is the Purple Lemonade (on the right) already transplanted into a bigger pot. The three little plants on the left are Orange Sherbet FF, and they’ll be moving to a friend's garden soon. You can see they have a much faster start, but I’m sure the Purple Lemonade will catch up shortly.

Rastalf Second week of the vegetative stage. The plant looks very healthy, the leaves are growing rapidly, and it’s gaining size every day. Feeding 1/4 of the recommended dose. Also, I upgraded the setup: moved from a 60x60x160 tent to a 70x70x160, and swapped the Mars Hydro TS 1000 light for the Mars Hydro FC1500-EVO. I also transplanted her into her final 15-liter fabric pot.

Rastalf Today she is 16 days old, and week 3 of growth has officially started. She already had 6 visible nodes, so I decided to go for manifolding and topped her above the 4th node. I also removed the bottom two nodes but kept the fan leaves for energy. This will give me four main branches, and I plan to top them again later for a total of 8 main colas. Hopefully, she bounces back soon and continues growing. At day 18, the 4 main branches are slowly starting to grow. I slightly increased the light intenzity to 30 DLI and bumped up the nutrients just a bit to 0.8EC. I also added the first training stakes to start directing the branches in the desired direction for manifolding. On the last day of the third week of veg, I added a few more training stakes to better direct the branches and to prevent too much tension at a single point. I also noticed slight clawing at the leaf tips, which indicates nitrogen excess. My next feeding will just be water, B-52, and Voodoo Juice.

Rastalf Today is day 23 of veg, the start of the fourth week of growth, and she is huge! I'm waiting for the fourth nodes, then I will top above the 3rd nodes again, and the bottom two nodes will be removed. That way I'll get 8 main colas, which I'll probably spread into a ScROG net and flip to flower. I can't wait! Day 25 of veg, continuing with the manifolding. I topped each branch above the 3rd node, removed the bottom two nodes, and added training stakes.

Rastalf Today is day 30 of veg (photos 1-2). The tops are beautifully level. I have 8 main branches. I'm expecting strong upward growth now, followed by the flip. The tips are slightly yellow, but as the saying goes, if you don't have yellow tips, you're underfeeding. Today is day 34 of veg (photos 3-4). Last photo of the grow box with a homemade silent box for the exhaust fan before upgrade. Tomorrow, the new ventilation and SCROG net arrive. I need to prepare for a brutal sativa stretch. She's doing very well, her tops are beautifully level, the SCROG will be a breeze.

Rastalf Today is day 37 of veg. I built a DIY frame for the SCROG and did some defoliation before everything starts growing through the net to get better visual contact with the plant and better airflow. I also finished the Spider Farmer exhaust setup in a "filter out, fan out" configuration to maximize space for the sativa stretch, and grabbed two Secret Jardin Monkey Fans. Hyped for the growth boom!
