+1 strain
Careful on the nitrogen, dark leaves and discolouring tips points to a toxicity. Nonetheless, what and amazing looking plant for a first grow. I'll be trying a Trainwreck next summer, good luck!

Getting ready to harvest one of the Purple Trainwreck plants next weekend. I’ve decided to harvest the mother plant this weekend and wait another week for the clone plant. Plants have been getting straight water for a little over a week.
I did go ahead and harvest popcorn buds off the mother PT plant last week. I have struggled with getting the humidity below 50-60% in my tent so that being said, I also wanted to thin out the middle of the plant so the larger colas wouldn’t be blocked from light. The buds on numerous stems were touching and starting to stick together. I don’t want to get bud rot on any of my larger colas.
Total harvest off the mother PT so far:
Wet weight with stems: 3.75 Ounces
Dry without stems: 30 grams
Day 60-harvested another 1.25 wet ounces... not dry yet
I have not touched the PT clone that’s in flower, I have another PT clone in my veg tent for clones.
I also harvested some smaller buds off the Widow X Plant. I have two clones of this plant in my veg tent.
Wet with stems: .75 ounces or 21 grams
Dry without stems: .20 ounces or ~6 gram
Harvested another 1.15 wet ounces. Not dry yet
Setup:
24”x48”x60” tent
Two 1000W Sunraise LED lights
6” Vivosun inline fan
Two clip fans
Plants are in 5 gallon cloth pots with happy frog soil and perlite.
Nutrients: Fox Farm Dirty Dozen
I have learned a lot with this grow, I’m excited to see how my future grows turn out. I have started a perpetual grow and have a second tent with vegetative plants. The newly flowering plant that was added to the flowering tent last week is a purple trainwreck clone. I think it will be quite the monster once it’s done. I have been essentially lollipopping this plant but not entirely.
Any feedback appreciated!

Grow Questions
Greenbean15started grow question 5 years ago
This is my first grow, I am on day 27 of flower and don’t want to over-defoliate. Do I continue to remove larger leaves as they come through the net or stop removing foliage entirely? PT is short, and wide should I remove lower bud sites? Used some lowers as clones but lots left.

Hi Buddy great looking plants.
I have little experience.
But as far as I know if your plants have responded great to Defoliation during the whole grow there should not be a problem Removing any Un necessary leaves, you need to make sure that your root system is healthy and up taking The necessary nutrition.
To me buddy Defoliation is been always necessary when training a plant they all tend to get bushy after any training methods.
Be slow on Defoliation take your time and remove leaves only covering bud sites and ones that don't get any light you will notice the once not receiving light are dropping when lights on, you don't want to over do to stun her right now in flower because off to little leaves and making her work to hard 😓.
Good luck and help this helps.

When should I start each flush?
Day 52 of 12/12.
The mother PT has trichomes that are about 20% cloudy and 80% clear
The Clone PT is about 40% cloudy and 60% clear
The widow X isn’t ready and is clear

Hello my friend
THE BEST TIME TO RINSE YOUR CANNABIS
Rinsing usually begins two weeks before harvest. If the plant has an eight-week flowering period, rinsing should begin six weeks after the start of the flowering period. It is best to look closely at the trichomes on the plant to determine when your cannabis is ready to be harvested. If small trichomes are just starting to move from a transparent to a milky, white hue, this is a good indication that the plants may begin to be rinsed. It is necessary to arrange that the majority of trichomes have changed to the desired color for the harvest after two weeks
Rinsing can also be a good way to reset the soil when a plant is still in the vegetative growth phase. Sometimes a grower accidentally over-feeds his cannabis, causing a change in color and wilting of the leaves. This is called a "nutrient burn." Rinsing the soil can eliminate excess nutrients, which helps solve the problem. However, this is a drastic measure at this stage of cultivation, so make sure the problem is a nutrient burn and not something else.
Good luck for your grow 🤞🌱
May the force be with you 💪

@Greenbean15, props for growing a non-auto on your first attempt. Autos are a lot easier to manage since they have shorter lives, makes soil problems a lot less impactful

@Alpaca, oh definitely not too hard on myself. It’s a first grow, this is all learning experience and no matter what I’m happy with what I’ve gotten out of this grow. I’m just taking it all in stride! I have taken multiple clones off these plants so I have numerous retries. I love constructive criticism. If everyone always kept their mouths closed no one would learn to do better. So thank you!
I had been cutting back on nutes for a few weeks now ever since I defoliated but the leaves started dying more than natural senescence would’ve caused so I flushed them part of week 14 and the beginning of week 15 for a total of seven days so hopefully that corrected the problem. So far it’s helped, the buds are filling in more quickly now.
It doesn’t appear as though I’ve given them a break in the journal because I started it midweek. They just started getting nutes again in the middle of week 15. The buds started gaining again after doing the flush so hopefully I can keep these plants going until they’re where I want them to be.
So far no hermies or males, so I’m happy 😁
Good luck on growing trainwreck during the summer! I’ve loved growing this strain, it has taken a beating and just keep chugging along.

@Greenbean15, don't be too hard on yourself. She's only slightly overfed, not even worth a flush or anything. It's pretty easy to get nutrient imbalances when you use a lot of bottled stuff. If you cut back for a while and try not to feed her grow nutes you'll be just fine

@Med_in_Tropic, thanks so much! We’ve taken a handful of clones throughout the grow. We’re definitely trying to preserve this one’s genetics.
