8/12 - Dropped 4 seeds into RO water to germinate 8/13 - Placed seeds into re-hydrated peat pellets soaked in Extreme Serene then placed on heat mat to complete germination. 8/14 - All four seeds have sprouted! I have 100% germination. I watered w/ a little RO water and molasses and placed back in tent. 8/15 - Three of the four seeds already have their true leaves and have stretched so much that they HAVE to be planted! I prepared four 1-gallon pots with Roots Organics Original soil and added 1 cup of Bad Bunny nutrients and mixed well. I topped it with Mosquito Bits for added BTI for pest prevention. Finally, I wet the pots down with RO water and Organic Black Strap Molasses. Then planted the four seeds and placed them in the 4x5 tent. I placed a humidity dome one the one that still does not have it's true leaves to keep in moisture. 8/16 - The last of the Purple Microdots has sprouted her true leaves so I have removed her dome. I sprayed them lightly again today with RO water and molasses.

8/22 - There has been some explosive growth among my 4 purple Microdots. They are growing by leaps and bounds each day, 8/23 - So far everything is going smoothly. Just watering each day w/ RO water and organic black strap molasses. 8/24 - Brewing up some compost tea. This will be there first! As they start to get a little bigger I've made a prediction for sex. I think A238 & A239 are male and A240 & A241 are female. We'll see! 8/25- Fed the ladies with the compost tea and used it as a foliar spray as well. They responded very well and continue to have crazy, rapid, growth. 8/27 - They have gotten so big and bushy. I'm going to start a little LST on them today! 8/30 - They are starting to show sex! Still can't tell whether it's male or female...but it should be any day now!

8/30 - It's the start of week! These Purple Microdots are growing like beasts! Each day they grow significantly bigger. Sometimes I can see the difference in growth from morning to night! I will continue to do LST this week and keep an eye out for the sex!

9/1 - Start of week four and all four of my Purple Microdots are female! That means I got 100% feminine seeds from this round and they are looking strong. One of the ladies is split at the main cola as if she had been topped...even though she hasn't. Can't wait to see how she turns out. Watered all today with RO water and molasses. 9/4 - Just a light water and some LST today. Still no nutrients and they are looking fabulous. Moving them just about a quarter of the way around the pot. They are really starting to become bushy and branch out.. They are all very green and looking great. 9/6 - First signs of flower! Each of the four have little pistils coming in and they look beautiful. I come in each day and water and do a little LST on all the ladies and that's about it. Will feed at the end of the week.

9/8 - The ladies are flowering nicely. I am just watering with RO water and molasses each day and adjusting their LST. 9/10 - Noticed a few of the ladies were looking light stressed. Adjusted the lighting. 9/11 - Added another feeding of BadBunny nutrients to each of the four Purple Microdots then watered with RO water and molasses. 9/12 - The ladies were looking a little faded and yellow. So, I decided to add Uprising Bloom, Foundation, and Elemental

9/15 - I missed my 4 week feeding of my Purple Microdots 😑 Didn't catch that mistake until I noticed some yellowing. Ugggh. But, I gave them each another feeding of Bad Bunny Nutrients, as well as some @rootsorganics Uprising Bloom & Foundation for that added boost now that they are well into flowering. I also watered them with my Roots Organics Terp Tea Bloom Compost tea that I brewed for the ladies in Flower in the 8x4 tent! So, now they are bouncing back and becoming green and lush again. 9/18 - All four are coming along nicely. They are very low maintenance and are well into flower now. These Purple Microdots continue beat all my other autos to the punch and she continues to hit EVERY milestone weeks before the others as well. She's quickly becoming my favorite auto to grow. I've decided to pop a few more seeds, identify the female, then plant one in a 3 gallon pot to see what she can really do! 9/19 - Did a lot in the garden yesterday. Since everyone is in flower, I top fed the ladies with @rootsorganics Elemental for calcium and Seabird Guano for phosphate. Followed this with some RO water and molasses.

9/22 - Since all the ladies are now in flower it was time to adjust the temp and humidity in the 4x5 auto tent. I like to keep it at about 80°F & 50% humidity during lights on. With 70°F & 45% humidity during lights off (approximately). To accomplish this, I added a programmable dehumidifier and oscillating tower heater. 9/25 - Top dressed all with Roots Organics Seabird Guano, and Elemental. I also did a 24 hour brew on some compost tea. Fed that to them as well. They are really fattening up now and are covered in frosty trichomes. So far, one of them has a very deep purple while the other three remain a beautiful lavender color. Her smell is very potent. She smells like a grape SweetTart (remember those?).
