The leaves on this girl look a bit discoloured, but I don't think there's anything wrong with her. She grows very short and flat so far.
I've increased the nute mix to 1100 EC.
On day 10 I started to increase the light for part of the day. For about 5-6 hrs I had the medium setting on the light - around 450W as apposed to 250W for seedlings. On day 11 I've given the plants a few more hrs. If they are okay with another few hot hrs on day 12 as well I'll leave the light on full veg. power.
Day 13; she'll get chopped tomorrow or the day after for the quadlining. She grows very short at the moment. She handles the full veg. power on the led with no dramas, but her tent sister Rainbows is not as happy, so we'll stay with part of the day for now. I still think the colouration of the leaves are natural.
Day 14; Today she was big enough to get chopped. I topped her above node 4 and removed the shoots from node 1 and 2.
This one looks really sticky and frosty! Love those dark purple strains.
Looks a lot like blackberry kush that I had going a while back.
Smelled like straight up berries and fuel. Strong sedative too!
@happytrees, thanks mate. I don't think I've ever grown any plant as lanky as this one. I can't wait to try the little purple nugs, I've never had any colours like this before.
@Nickeluring, Indeed, she is a bit more lanky. I also experienced this with my purples.
That bag appeal is certainly a good conversation piece! Some of my friends faces light up when I pull out the dark purple nugs.. hehe
Grats on chop! Lemme know how the dry goes 💪
@happytrees, this girl got chopped today and is now hanging in my bedroom. She's very frosty, but hasn't got half the amount of buds of my other 2 plants. When I got a visitor earlier today I was told she could smell it down at the street. She's a stinker.
Thank you @Autofutur, I've seen other similar strains from Barney's Farm. The Mimosa x Orange Punch I grew was amazing. It's some seriously strong stuff 😄
I have a pair of Ayahuasca Purple seedlings and both are tri-leaf above the cotyledons and each blade is a bit mangled and misshaped. I've never heard of a strain that starts like this, but to have both of the seedlings start like that has me blown away.
@skybound, Cool - I love when that happens. On this plant I have seen it on one branch only. It's the 9th branch that appeared in the centre of the plant and got super cropped and put outside the circle. You can see photos of it in week 5 on days 31-32. I also added a new pic in this week of how it looks like now. It's a bit hard to see that it is a triple node since I've chopped some of the fan leaves off...
Oooohhh yes, only seen AP grown once elsewhere. Looking to forward to what this girl looks like in full bloom under the LED's!
How many watts are you pulling from the wall and how high above the canopy is your light? I also have a new 150w QB and im struggling to find the right height, think i might have stunted the growth already. At 7 days old my ladies definitely look behind vs yours.
Will be keeping an eye on this one! Good luck matey :)
@skoondawg,
It's my first AP. She's growing like a champ and I hope I get some pretty colours when I switch to flower shortly.
I started the automatic irrigation system when she was 3 days old, and since then she has been getting multiple feeds every day - 8 of them. I think that's why my plants grow faster than yours. I currently have 3 plants of different strains, and they have all been growing similarly.
I've got the light on medium now during late veg, it's currently using 4/6 cobs and half of the other LEDs. Now it's pulling about 450 - 475 W. When I switch to flower I'll use full power. On full it pulls about 650 - 675W. On the low setting, which I had when she was a seedling, it pulls about 275W.
I've had the light at 90 cm above the canopy until last week. Now it's at 80 cm, and I'll let them grow up to 70 cm. When I switch I'll try 60 cm and see how we go.
