Thank you to all of the world’s healthcare and frontline workers for your bravery, dedication and sacrifice during Covid 19. The world owes you and all of our thoughts, prayers and actions are with you so Stay Home Folks! The Fast Buds Purple Lemonade plants are doing well at the end of Week 6, Day 42 for the older two plants and the end of Week 3, Day 21 for the youngest. The tallest plant is now 32" tall and healthy but a low leaf to bud ratio (not a bushy strain in my opinion). The medium sized plant is 25" tall with some serious yellowing around the outer edges of her fan leaves (similar to my last grow of the Green Crack, not sure what’s causing this yet). The smallest, youngest plant at 3 weeks old is 12" tall and was just topped at Day 20. After watching how much the older two plants have grown, I feel that this strain has more than enough time to recover and stretch up after topping. So, a bit of a comparison will be possible between the untopped/topped plants for future grows or other growers looking to try this strain personally. I amended the two oldest plants during Week 5 with Gaia Green Organic slow time release fertilizer at a half dose of the initial amendment- so 8 tablespoons, 2 tablespoons of grow to 6 tablespoons of bloom. They are being watered every second day, approximately 2.5-3 litres each plant or 1.5 litres per plant per day. I think there might be a tiny tinge of purple showing in the calyxes of the tallest plant but nothing dramatic yet. Overall, life is good in the tent and these ladies should be finishing up in about 4-5 weeks. Can’t wait to try it! Until next time, stay safe, healthy and support the frontline workers in your life and community because they need it! Happy growing! 😷

Hey Mom, looking happy and healthy there. Keep up the good growing. I just started a new diary (week 1) of Purple Lemonade (x4) too. I will be following along if you don't mind. We have similar growing techniques and it will be interesting to see the progression of my grow compared to yours. Your grow is a week or so ahead of mine and both look good. Check it out and I'll be seeing you down the line. Peace

@Momgrowsthechronic, she got to be about 18 to 20 inches (40-50cm) and I netted 54 grams. I think I can at least double those results. Peace

@Smowkabowl, good to know. Do you recall how tall ur purple lem was un-topped? Thx.

@Momgrowsthechronic, nah, I just harvested one and she was a fast finisher, 60 days or so I believe. She is curing now and by all indications it is going to be wicked. She only got to be about 18 inches with a lot of fat buds. The yield was 53 grams. I know I can do better because I caused her to be stunted with the type of germination cup I used. Besides, I'm just not big on topping. I've tried it and didn't see the benefit. I like the way they grow naturally. If you top, it will make for another comparison. I think there may be some photos of her in my Blackberry diary. Peace

Wow! when did you start topping this one? When did you stop training?
Momgrowsthechronic
Momgrowsthechroniccommented5 years ago
@densesensi, I would definitely recommend topping the Purple Lemonade strain as long as the grow is going well and you are not space challenged (width wise). I pulled 138 grams dry off of the topped PL vs 86 & 90 grams dry off the two PL that were not topped. I will top all of my Purple Lemonade plants in the future! Great strain too as far as smoke- strong and super tasty!

@Momgrowsthechronic, thanks for such a detailed reply. I have a Purple Lemonade Auto and Wedding Cake Auto going right now both at the end of week 1 from sprout outdoors. I'm gonna LST them, but I've heard conflicting things about topping these PL. What would you recommend?

@densesensi, youngest plant of the three Purple Lemonade topped on day 20 and trained for about 10 days. After topping, when the plant really starts to put tonnes of energy into forcing up the lower branches- I simply stake out/tie down the lowest 2-3 sets of branches. This brings them out well past the edges of the pot and makes the plant much wider. I only keep these stakes or ties in place for 10-14 days- enough time for the branches to harden into position and stay in place once I remove the restraints. Usually this all happens at the beginning of the flowering stretch so the branches have plenty of time to stay wide and grow right back up towards the light- creating large, strong lower branches that produce substantial buds instead of just larfy product that ends up becoming bubble hash or baking material. It’s super easy and only takes a couple of weeks but it will increase your yields substantially. Plants 1 & 2 were not topped but the lower branches on both were spread open and I had larger buds on those branches than on both colas! Good luck!

@GreenHouseLab, he is super cute and comes down every night to the grow room with me. It’s now a part of his daily routine too so I figured I’d enter him into the Pets and Pot contest. Maybe he’ll win, probably not but I wanted to show my fur buddy to everyone to share some much needed cuteness and joy during these weird times of Covid. Both Mojo and myself say thanks for the compliment and Happy Easter to you and your family!

Some amazing buds there pal .... on my first ever grow and know I have a good few years before I get to you level well done

Very nice Mom! I think I mentioned, you'd be surprised with the results. Anyone that has tried it wants more and has quickly become a favorite. You described it perfectly, as I drool over your pictures and load a bowl of PL! Did you see my harvest? Our results are almost identical. I guess the only real difference is that I didn't top or LST, just leaf tuck and defoliate. Enjoy your bounty. Peace and Health

Hey Mom, your garden grows green 💪 Although my PL's are a week behind yours, I think they are keeping pace with each other at about the same number of days 👏 Beautiful ✊ The differences between our grows are small. You: 5 gallon bags, pure coco/ perlite medium, type of nutrients (fertilizer), 18/6 light cycle. Me: 3 gallon bags, coco/soil medium, type of nutrients (inoculant concentrate and a few organic supplements during flower for terpenes), 20/4 light cycle. I did defoliation/hst this week also, check out my diary. I think you are going to be surprised by your yield, the flowers are XL. I will be disappointed if I don't net 450 grams or 112 g/plant. Stay healthy Mom. I plan to stay home and tend to my garden, keep medicated and stay away from as many people as possible. Happy growing. BTW, I got a Tangie'matic that just popped her head out last week. I may start a diary for her too. Peace

They look great as usual. I've followed a few Fastbuds Six Shooter grows they look like they tend to give pretty hefty yields. Haven't tried that strain myself it's on the list.
