Been a smooth week. She is starting to pop a few pistils on top. Been watering every 2 days. Starting to see a little stretch. Just hoping for some purple.....
@Growdiaries, my day and night temperatures keep reverting to 50 on both of my current diaries. I can edit it but it just changes back as soon as I save it. It there a way to fix this? Thanks
One of my new round of 8BK emerged from the seed, the seed popped off, but there was a waxy looking covering over the seedling preventing it from opening up. I let it go for a couple days and eventually decided to gently remove it. Now it's growing fine! Nature just fucks up sometimes, I've seen this sort of thing with pea plants and other garden vegetables. I've had "Siamese bell peppers" where there's two peppers growing together lol
@Jwjoh, I get a seedling every once in a while that has that little membrane stuck on it. They usually push it off pretty quick though. This purple lemonade has made some good progress though. Will be updating her tomorrow.
Hey friend,
I want to start using a fulvic acid and amino acids in my grow along with the humic... have you come across anything like that? What hum/fulv are you using?
@Experimentgreen, No problem 😁 I am off in some ranch land also. I try to save where I can and that humic makes a difference in the nutrient doses I need.
@Wicked_Stix, you're awesome. 💚 the podcast i like kisorganics.com says to go buy all your own bulk nutrients for way cheaper at the feed and seed store...like a farm supply place....i live in ranch territory so I'm sure i could find one around here somewhere.
@mr_h_kovert, no this is the only one I sprouted unfortunately. The thing that resembles a pot in the back is a little humidifier. It looks like she might grow a branch from that little side chute so I might be able to work with her. Guess we will see here pretty soon.
I reused my perlite too, baked it at 200F for 45 mins covered up in a big turkey roasting pan to make sure everything was dead :) Surprisingly, that plus a quick rinse also got out all the algae and everything.
@Reaper, I think I will be lucky to get an ounce off this girl, but I am doing an auto run after I flower my photo plants. I think I can pull off a 4+ ozunce one in a proper setup with the dutch buckets. Fingers crossed anyway 😁
@Wicked_Stix, yes i was looking for daaays to order a strain like that, i think Barneys farm ”purple punch” is the best i found purple and yield.. and purple queen from royal queenseeds. i grew dark devil autoflower once, always very dark purple and good yield also but i dont like autos i only grow them in the winter under HPS lol to heat the room. anyway all purples taste very sweet but dont hit too strong, yeah the rainwater is easy i got an RO filter too, takes ages to give me 30liters just get a 100litre barrel and put the pipe from outside the house (the thing coming from the roof) in the barrel and collect rainwater hope this helps
@Reaper, She isn't going to put off very much, I just wanted to sample some real purple. Never grown a purple yet. Have any recommendations for a good, strong purple photoperiod strain?
purple strain....purple strain......only wanna see you dancing in the purple......nope...clearly got the lyrics a little wrong! those sexy parts look like they going to swell....maybe give em a tickle hehehehe.
@stunflower, yeah she has. Kinda wishing I would have left her in the dutch bucket. I think she could have gotten big. Guess there is always next time....
