Day 0;
A germinated seed has been planted. It should show itself by tomorrow. This Purple Lemonade will share the tent with an Auto Zkittlez and an Auto Sour Diesel. There's also a photo plant, a Green Gelato, in the tent that has a couple of weeks to finish, so I can only keep them in the tent for 12 hrs, and then they'll have to stay outside the tent with a small blurple LED light for 8 hrs.
Day 1;
She's alive and kicking - she sprouted today, and I put a dome over her to get the humidity up and protect her a little bit against the intense light.
Day 6;
She's growing as expected
Day 9;
She's been setup for automatic irrigation and is now fed 7 times a day.
day 11;
She grows quickly, quicker than her tent sisters. I think she'll grow well.
Day 15;
She is growing very well, better than her tent sisters. She should be ready for main-lining tomorrow.
Day 16;
She got main-lined today. I kept nodes 3 and 4.
Day 19;
Growth should be taking off now. Will let the 4 branches grow a bit before pulling them outwards.
Day 24;
I trained the 4 branches outwards. The plastic clips - Bends - are awesome for training.
I removed some lower leaves and increased the light intensity.
Day 28;
She's growing really strong - fattest in the tent. Will defoliate a little shortly.
Day 31;
No signs of flowering yet. Growing very well. Only defoliating a little, and letting her grow.
Edit: Yes, I can see signs of flowering - yeaaay! I closed her feeding line, and she'll get the flower juice for her next meal. Sweeeet! 😄
Changed from 20 to 18 hrs light schedule today.
Day 34;
Removed some more leaves, and hooked her up to auto-feed again.
Day 36;
She has stretched a bit. I have defoliated her some. I do that kind of every day. Letting more and more bud sites up to the top of the canopy.
Day 40;
She's getting plenty of bud sites.
Day 51;
She's building her colas and filling them up with buds. She's getting stickier and she starts to smell a little bit. I pick lots of leaves every day.
Day 61;
Her buds have grown well and she's showing lots of trichomes. I'm starting her on late flower bloom booster today, and she should be ready in a couple of weeks. I'm expecting to see some purple soon.
Day 67;
She's got great bud development, and she's getting sticky. She's just starting to show a tiny bit of purple colours, and I expect her to get a lot more purple the coming weeks.
Day 78;
I started to flush her a few days ago. She's got beautiful buds and she smells very good. She's not showing much purple colours, but she looks ok in green, too.
Day 84;
SHe's showing a tiny bit of colours. She'll be ready in a few day, so she'll change a little bit more. A very sticky girl with super dense buds. She'll yield alright.
This is a great indica. I use this at night time. It tastes really fresh and purple, even though mine wasn't much purple in colour. It is sticky and very strong - awesome buds!
I highly recommend this if you want an indica. It grew very well, a strong plant that enjoyed being trained. She's a good yielder and she makes very potent buds.
@Dutchpro_Nutrients_USA_Official, I think yours is the only nute/additive I add at full recommended dose. If I give them more base nutes than what I give them now, they get burnt. And since they only need about a third of the base nutes I figured they will most likely be happy with a third of the additives as well. I feed them 4 - 6 times a day though. The plants are happy most of the times.
Thanks @Regenwurm, through my many grows I have made many mistakes. But all those mistakes I try to fix, and I have slowly got a decent understanding of how to give the plants the environment they want. I'm still learning though....
Regarding the pH of my nutrients it is nothing strange with that. The nutes I use are chelated and don't care about what pH you're feeding the plants. I have retired all my pH pens and don't need to worry about pH again.
I see some purple coming through. I would have dropped base nutes ( N ). And up boosters and finisher last couple weeks. I would also give it more time if you want better color. Colors come in best in final weeks. It's a good indicator of when harvest ready. I also found my blurpie lights made better purple in my purple glue. From what I have read purple or color strains are genetically more likely to produce color but certain stresses are what brings out the color ( this includes age ).
That would be my suggestion if you were looking for better color.
Looks like it's doing really well - I'm currently doing a Fastbuds Zkittlez and I have super cropped it. It's taken very well too it and is showing no signs of stress. Check out my diaries if you get a chance! Happy growing
Of to a good start !! 😎
