Week 4 saw more good growth particularly with the teachers pet. She was starting to shoot up past the others so I pulled her down with some plastic coated wire and adjusted throughout the week to keep things even. Tucked in some of the broad fans to get light to the bud sites.
The middle child didn't fill out as nicely, a bit spindly but shot up near the end of the week so I tied that on down too.
The mutant is faring better than expected. No need to tie down because it's a little stunted sbut it thickened up and has filled in quite nicely.
Because of the slower growth on plants 2 and 3 I added a little GH flora grow to their water this week. I didn't touch plant 1 because why mess with a good thing? Sure enough plants 2 and 3 are showing some yellow on the tips of the new leaves. Too much of a good thing I guess. Should have known better. I'll keep an eye on them and be sure the next watering session is heavy and chemical free.
Good work man! Just ordered myself some of these, what’s your lights off temps like...? I’m sure the cooler dark periods induce and encourage the purples to show
@Antaquarium, sounds like you’ve got it all on point with temps! I also wouldn’t go lower than 15.
A shorter day cycle might have helped, usually it’s just down to the pheno, I wish you all the best with the next ones too! I’ll be watching! :)
Hey @Gardener_of_Goodness, the lights off temps have been about 15°C but I'm not getting any purple. Kind of disappointing but they are healthy so I can't complain. I'm not really able to drop it any lower right now and don't want to mess with a good thing. They only get to about 22°C with lights on.
Maybe if I was running an 18h cycle instead of 20 they'd be cooler for longer and that would bring the purp?
I still have a few of these seeds left that I'll play with on my next run and see if I can add a little colour to my stash.
Happy growing!
