Week 3 - Tad ‘O Purps She’s another favourite of mine. Transplanted into a 10L Airpot and into FoxFarm Happy Frog soil. I stopped the Remo nutrients immediately after transplant as I’ve read that FFHF can run hot on vegging plants. Will do more research as to when to reintroduce Remo. Also increased the height of the T5’s to 6 inches. Previously at 4 inches it was damaging the leafs of some of my plants.

Topped her! This girl is one of my darlings! This is 3 days after topping. She’s taking it well. I have yet to re-introduce REMO nutrients. Will do so once I feel comfortable that the girls have adjusted to the FoxFarm Happy Frog. Watering by look and feel at the moment as my little small veg tent is very humid and hot at times. They are getting dangerously big for their veg tent. T5’s sunblaster lights

My favourite gal! Tad ‘O Purps. I have not re-introduced any REMO nutrients as of yet. Need to keep them as small as possible until the last frost which seems like ages away from now. 5 weeks and I still can’t determine the sex. Crossing my fingers

The Purps strain. I’ve been extremely busy and missed posting week 6-7. Still using water only for the time being. I was scared some of these plants were males, but now I can confirm 3/4 are females. They are getting close to reaching the top of this 3ft propagation temp! This one paruplant is a beauty.

She’s my absolute favourite! Tad O’Purps! Such a joy to look at and grow. Under T5 lights until it’s safe to be outside overnight. Took a full day outdoors like a champ! Watering around 400ml per day (Air pots). Topped twice and did some supercropping on two branches. Don’t think I supercropped properly though, we’ll see.

Mistakes were made. Desperate to get them out of my house, I evicted the girls outdoors on May 16th. Prior to that I had them outside for extended periods of time. There were times were it may have been too cold and the girls visually told me they weren’t happy. Needless to say, this one went into flower. Could have been the reduction in light up here in Canada that triggered the flowering stage. I’m experiencing some nute burn it seems on all my plants. I’m using Happy Frog Ocean Forest and have been adding Remo nutrients as of late (past 5 days). The leaves definitely look burnt. I’m going to lay off the nute cycle for a bit.

Best of luck to you my friend. I tried out "Burmese Shorty's Secret" from JAHSeeds and they all ended up hermie. I literally babied the shit out of them and they all grew pollen sacks and eventually seeds in the buds! Keep a close eye on them around 3-4 weeks into flower. I would hate to see anyone else loose out like I did. This so called "breeder" took from what was probably someone else's genetics... has-telly mixed together, renamed and sold for a dishonest buck! What really gets me is that on his site it states " my goal is simply to offer reliable products and genetics to my fellow citizens to contribute to a successful grow at an affordable price."
