billyblanks Double Solo cup method with a clear solo cup w/holes poked in the bottom for drainage. Had the ts600 20" above giving about 120 ppfd. Once I realized, I did start going up (by like 40/50ppfd) until I got to 320 at the beginning of week 2. I did have a oscillating fan going for stem strengthening Im measuring ppfd with the photone app on android using a regular, 20 weight, copy paper small square placed over the front camera. ( the recommended for this app is 22 IIRC) so im not too sure how accurate the ppfd numbers are. But I had consistent results, so I was able to work with that

billyblanks Transplanted to 3 gal fabric pots (day 10) filled with hp promix pre buffered with calmag ro water. First feed was at 12 days. I probably should've started at 200ppfd and go up from there.

billyblanks Ramped up feed to 15 ml gal through the week. Started feeding about every other day and ramped up ppfd to high 500s/ low 600s by the end of week 3 (they didnt like that). LST started day 15 using training wire and metal garden stakes.

billyblanks Time to stretch! Week 4 RF3 starting to preflower with GC starting at the end of the week. GC is smaller than the others making me think its the short/ squat pheno. BPP showed yellowing tips and taco‐ing with 550ppfd. Other ones show around 650 ish. Got some preflowering at the very end of the week from Purple lemonade

billyblanks Girls are in full stretch mode. Starting to outgrow garden stakes, so just using the training wire spread and even canopy. Defoliating as needed. GC faint smell, but by the end of the week I had to connect the carbon filter. I added Spider farmer TS5 40w lights and put them on the same timer as my main. I mounted them along the sides ~2ft from the ground using magnetic sticky tabs. I then rotate the pots 1/4 turn every day. I need to mention that I do a sporadic defoliation from about 3 weeks onward(after first lst). Just as only necessary(i.e. if a fan leaf is shading other growth, for better light penetration, later on to promote airflow, etc)

billyblanks The RF3 mix pack seed is showing some crazy purple coloring ruling out the others and leaving Purple Lemonade, sweet!. GC is starting to smell earthy n that GG4 epoxy/glue smell. PL is faint but also a bit earthy. Both increase in intensity as the week goes on. No smell from BPP yet BPP is outstretching the other 2 by a lot. But it is also the most sensitive to ppfd. So I had to adjust the light (both height and intensity) to accommodate her, and then placed the other 2 on some DYI spacers to keep their canopies at ~ 450. I did occasionally try to push throughout, but kept coming back to around that number.

billyblanks Stretch is over with the girls going full bloom. Went to 27ml gal on the bloom 1 &2 for gc and PL. BPP seems to be okay at 25. I had to go down to 20mls/gal for gc n bpp with them showing a lil stress from feeding. Also did a flush in between the last 2 feedings. BPP still liking between 450-500ppfd w/ the other 2 liking a little more. Have em on risers to compensate especially since BPP has really stretched, almost double the GC's height

billyblanks Purple lemonade is smelling stronger now actually does have a sweet powdered lemonade smell. Very pleasant smell. By the end of the week it was competing with the Gorilla Cookies. She also started drinking less and slowly starting to fade this week. Pistols are starting to brown and shrink. Going to check trichomes using an usb microscope from here on out. @ day52 he trichs appear mostly cloudy to me and even saw some pinkish/lavender ones! Such a pretty plant. Cut out cal mag this week. Last feeding was on day 54 with a 5, 5, 5 of the foop Gorilla cookies is very loud and getting very frosty. It smells like GG4 ish with a sweet end, so very good. Hits you in the face as soon as you open the tent. Both GC and PL started clawing with 25, 25, 25 of the foop bloom 1,2, and sweetener. Went down to 20-20-20 at the beginning of the week. Banana Purple Punch is a tall one! She started to smell like a green banana peel, but you have to get really close to smell it. Had to do a bit of defoliation this week as she got pretty busy, especially in the middle.
