Solid week. Starting to see the buds fill in on plants 1 and 2. And at long last there are some pistols and small flowers starting to show on plant #3.
I did removed some lower growth on 1 and 2 that wasnt getting any light. I can do with out the popcorn buds at trim time. I also defoliated plant 3 more than the others. It's a pretty dense plant and without any training it needed some opening up. I did some reading that suggested a little stress might force it to flower. So far so good. Well see what happens next week but I'm sure the others will finish a good two or three weeks ahead of the mutant at this point.
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!
