>On the 10th day, the Alaskan Purple was fed with water containing Bactohemp for root improvement and with Bactomatik since it’s an autoflower, for nutritional purposes
>Last week the closet where im growing her was in a really cold place and I think that slowed down the growth a bit, already moved to a hotter place and temperatures should go up
>Good jump in growth this week, though the leaves are a bit curled, I think they are susceptible to this high humidity environment, so I’ll try my best to change that soon!
>She is having some gutation problems, since sometimes humidity goes from 50% to 90%, I’ve been spotting drops of water on top of the leaves and I think it’s affecting her growth
>Leaves are curling up a bit, I might low down on the nutrients for a few days to see if there is any change
>Finally started LST on her
>Haven’t been able to take much photos this week, but she is definitely entering flowering, she stretched a lot during this week and is starting to develop a lot of pistils and soon we will see the beginning of the buds forming
>Bud sites are visibly growing right now, she looks really healthy and happy
>She’s going through 12h cycle in the flowering phase cause I’ve got another photoperiods in the grow room that need this light cycle!
>ScroG Net was applied this week cause alongside this Alaskan Purple, I have 3 other plants and the grow tent is not that big, so this was a good option to separate the branches and allow light to penetrate better
>Buds are finally putting weight and starting to develop some trichomes! Smell is getting more intense but still manageable!
>I’ve been noticing this plant stretched a lot and the leaves are really thin and stretched, really looks like a Sativa Dominant, according to Seedsman page she’s about 90% Sativa and 10% Indica, with some Ruderalis genes of course, otherwise wouldn’t be automatic!
>She is definitely focusing on putting some weight and it’s getting really really sticky 😮
>In this final phase everything has been going smoothly, have had no problems except that she is too close to the light cause she stretched so much and some of the top buds are getting a bit crunchy
Even though it felt bad from a grower’s perspective, at the beginning of this week I chopped of a branch from the Alaskan Purple a bit earlier than the rest since we are on quaratine mode and I ran out of all the weed I had! It was not completely finished but most of the thricomes were already cloudy and well developed! Its already trimmed and drying
Yield of the branch = 10.3g
Only thing it ever happened was around the third and fourth week, since I had problems controling the variation of the humidity inside the tent, she would most of the times curl the leaves and drops of water would appear on the leaves!
I harvested a little earlier than I intended too, I could have given her one or two more weeks but since I’m quarantined and in need of weed I took this decision 😝
The buds really shrinked a lot during this first week after the harvest and they look a bit unfinished but the trichomes are everywhere, I’ve already smoked a bit and even though it doesn’t have much taste or smell for now, the high is really enjoyable, you can really feel the indica vibes all the way from the laziness to the munchies ahaha!!
Overall was really nice this first experience, seeing her grow from just a little seed to a really tall plant but I definitely recognize I could have made a better job (controlling the flunctuantions of the RH and temperature and harvesting a little later than I have)!
Grow Specs:
Soil: Coco Coir (Atami) mixed with Perlite
Light: Optic 2 Gen 3 205W (110 true Watts)
Tent: DarkBox 60x60x140cm
@Master_weeda, thanks a lot, the seed was gifted to me from a friend and he himself is growing it too and is getting good results! Im with a very good feeling about this plant, will post updates soon!
PS: Your alaskan purple is looking gorgeous, good work so far!
@Dro3420, I’m not growing dwc, my medium is coco coir! The water I use has only about 50ppm, wich is a bit lower than yours, so maybe dont use it at the beginning, use it only more towards the end of the grow when they need more nutrients overall

set ph 6.5 and 60% Humidity wait 2 days without nutrients
