What a hard "Meh" this plant/smoke is. This has to be my least favorite strain grown to date and I'm not terribly pleased with the genetics. I'm positive Purple Star is a hell of a strain, but these specific genetics are trashy. Every breeder note was false, from potency to yield, to flowering time. The smoke is barely serviceable, hardly tasty, somewhat smooth, but all around a let down. She smells far better then she tastes and smokes, as well. This plant is going in for concentrates...simple as that. There's no Jam here, just high school caliber weed.

What can I say, this line just didn't mesh with me very well. I know it works for a lot of people but this didn't feel like a good fit. Micro and Bloom are serviceable, Grow is redundant and I saw little to no jam when using their Massive formula (Ended up going back to King Kola to finish them off). The only noticeable additive that worked very well was Liquid Weight and I wouldn't hesitate to pick up more of this and am looking at it for this new grow's coming Bloom. Other then LW, I'm going to move on and try a new line to see what suits me best.
I pretty much stopped using GHE and cut Floralicious for Liquid Weight, but Diamond Nectar and Rapid Start have been very helpful and easy to use. Probably over priced compared to other options, but it does visibly work for the girl
Zero complaints again. Would like to expand further into their line in time. Only Cal-Mag Plus for now, but looking into their Tea Blend and a couple other additives that may assist me in future grows.
Was a 4.5 out of 5 before, now it's 5/5. King Kola saved my ass when Massive didn't' seem to be doing the trick. Girls responded immediately and started to put on noticeable weight, much quicker (not coincidence w/ timing). As for sturdy stalk, I won't be looking back with this one. It has proven to create very strong cell walls and the girls nasticity and strength (even with cola weight) is through the roof. Using this once every 2-3 feedings gave me great results and solid form. Highly, highly recommend this or something like this.
Lights
If you know me on this platform, you know I talk a lot about this lamp series. I can't get enough the SF's and picked up a second SF-2000 to complete my tent whilst outing the Phlizon 1200 Blurple. With a new module on the side for operation, dimming and inter-connectivity (plug and play) between lamps to be controlled as one, this lamp just get's better and better. Again...I'm already looking to source another SF-2000 in order to commission my new tent. Until something better (that works for my needs) comes along, this is my mainstay.
Tents
Though there were issues w/ the dual zipper flaps being a tad too rigid when I first received it, this unit has been perfectly adequate for all my needs. It's a little fortress that keeps my surrounding area clean and safe as well as keeping the girls clean and safe. No issues with zippers, flaps, functionality...nothin. Easy pick up for any grower. Oh, and no gimmicks and high prices, banking on a brand name. Just the goods๐Ÿ‘

Howdy folks! Real late to the party on this one, but to be fair I really didn't care much for this plant so I got a tad lazy on her final Harvest. Believe it or not, this will be quick and dirty as I don't have much to say about this plant. The Deets: Hard let down with PSK. Jumping right into the positives, negatives, smoke report, weights and final notes. The Positives: -Bounced back after some hard times when I thought she was a goner. -Did have some relatively good lateral strength but my stoner bends in late veg made her wonky. -Resin Dev was quite good even with the lack of trichome production The Negatives: -Very fickle and unhappy girl. Have fun finding her sweet spot, it seemingly changes every day. Lots of work and adjustments to keep this plant happy, when her final product wasn't worth the effort. -Sub Par Bud and Trichome development. This plant was supposedly supposed to be 29%? Hahaha. Big lie, thanks guys๐Ÿ‘. This is no more then 16% for eff's sake. -Hard to control. Hammy strain that doesn't amount to much. -Just bad genetics... I don't see this as a real test of a Purple Star Killer and I'm positive other breeders have far more competent and versatile genetics to go on. All I know is that this ain't it, and PSK is far better then the product these specific genetics were sporting. -More "Meh's" and negatives, but just know it's not good... Strain and Product Review: What can I say...in for concentrates she goes. Terpene profile is weak w/ hints of berries, pepper and earth. The potency just isn't there and to get to my wheel house, I need to smoke far too much of this and end up just scorching my throat. Buds are NOT dense in anyway when they looked like they would be. Water retention dropped and they're far too fluffy. Full jars that only clock in at 30 grams, whereas the others are only 1/2 to 3/4 full with more product in each. Smokes well enough, but there is NO JAM! This has been shelved for concentrates folks. There's nothing here. The most I've done with it so far is just give it away... for free. Some people I know have lower tolerances and don't smoke much, so I just handed it off to them and it seems to be up their alley...who knows, free weed! lol. The Numbers (Before I took final weights I gave at least a half (14 Grams) of this bud away, but I won't be counting it... is what it is. Here's the numbers): Jar #1 Whole Bud- 30 Grams (1.07 ounce) Jar #2 Whole Bud- 34 Grams (1.21 ounce) Jar #3 Popcorn- 27 Grams (.96 ounce) Total Product: 91 Grams (3.25 ounce) Final Notes: If you grow this strain, find a better breeder my friends. I know it's better then this...I just bought junk. Buyer beware of un-vetted breeders. Learned another lesson here and I've dropped my relationship with i49 (did so two weeks into this grow actually). Failed and/or half cooked genetics all round. Have fun with them๐Ÿ‘. Oh, they also have guarantees that they won't honor...they'll just blame you, no matter how much evidence you provide. So, all in all, bad genetics, sub par product (that's generous), false breeder notes and will fight tooth and nail to deny you their guarantee. It's all smoke and mirrors, beware please. Anywho! What a crappy plant๐Ÿ˜…. Thanks all for helping me get this one to the end. It was a tough ride and the product may not have been worth it, but! I did learn a shit tonne, especially when it comes to genetic quality and versatility. Canuk seeds can expect an email from me shortly as well. Selling old and disheveled seeds that aren't popping. Thanks for the garbage! I blamed myself for the failures until it was clear it's a you problem! not me. **In two days Ayahausca Purple, Glookies, Violator Kush and Gorilla Zkittles will be thrown up. They're up and at er, moving along pretty well (No hot soil this time๐Ÿ˜…). See you all on the flip side! Cheers and Happy Trails** And yes! this was "short" for me, hahaha

Nice hints from your " Electric-Side"...โ€ฆ.Thank you for pointing at this. I got to admit my Electric Installation is โ€ฆ aaaahmโ€ฆ...well i have to work on... that means mountingthe switches etc. I love your Electric Installation And the timersโ€ฆ i just hate themโ€ฆโ€ฆ.I hope for new invetion of Timers who are preinstalled for 3 times. Iam Fighting with those fogging Things every time. because there are too many Options to take. So i ended in having 12 h timers and 18 hour timers^^

@JinksyGrows, yes that would be nice to have preinstalled Timers who just went on every day on the time you want to, just in pushing one switch- I know its manageable because My HAZELBOX, does it like this - I got 4 buttons, one is On off, one is 18 hours weaker Vegetation light, one is 18 hours strronger Vegetation light, and one is fow flower 12/12 No more needs. but if i want i can change programm in lightning and hours, but i never didi. Its just so easy... and thats what i whish from a timer. 4 buttons and done Oh yes pls tell us alittle about electric installation.... id love it

@Mrs_Larimar, Wouldn't it be nice to have a normal, well built timer just for the times we use? No screwing around? Haha. I'll hit the drawing board๐Ÿ˜…. You want 20/4, 18/6 and 12/12? Haha, I'll actually look into it. And hey, as long as your operation is safe, it doesn't have to look nice. Safety over looks is totally okay๐Ÿ‘. With the response I received on that little electrical tip, I may add more in the coming weeks. Just little things like cable management, inline motor controls and how to set them up...? We'll see!

Maybe try a finisher like overdrive or swell you might get that fast build in the last 3 weeks your looking for. You may already be using something similar as I'm not familiar with liquid weight or diamond nector but I can't recommend swell or overdrive enough they double weight in the last 3 weeks.
JinksyGrows
JinksyGrows
@ROM101, Howdy ROM! Yah buddy, not sure what exactly is going on, but I do use liquid weight by Green Planet. It seems to be bumping up trich production but not really firming up the buds, as advertised. I also have "dense" from Green Planet, but I'm a little afraid to use it๐Ÿ˜…. Potent stuff man. That being said, I'm going to apply it for the final week/two weeks and see if it helps. I needed to start it 1-2 weeks ago...but it's worth a shot and I feel I got nothing to loose. Thanks for the advice my friend๐Ÿ‘. I'm really trying to unlock the potential in these last week's, but hey, it is what it is๐Ÿ™‚.

Hello buddy.. Hope you are well.. I wud personally get another sf2000.. Starting wit 2 on dim at 50% will b same par wot ur getting now but wider spread.. U getting great results of 1 so imagine wen u crank both them bad boys up 100% in flowering.. Since putting 2 sf600 over my 600w hps ive noticed a positive difference in yeild and resin.. And remains cooler than cranking up hps to 660w..great lights.. I do like the mars hydro sp range tho.. These wud b my go-to lights from now on.. A couple of these added are great additions to any grow in my opinion.. Stay safe n gud luck on ur huge selection of lights atm.. Great times for us growers.. ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ€

Salute smoke to my Canadian friends. Happy Canada day. Curious about potassium silicate. Please keep posting.

@Med_in_Tropic, Sigh* Ain't that the truth. They've done a lot of damage. It will take time to crush reefer madness, but hopefully sooner then later. Trust me, I will not tire of pushing the good word and I probably annoy a lot of people in the process ๐Ÿ˜…. I can happily say that I consult older people (mostly) on cannabis, that grew up in the reefer madness era. They're starting to get wise that they were lied too... That there is nothing wrong with cannabis and the proof is all around them. I'll go for coffee with them, educate them on the nuance, the uses, the past fears, side affects, etc... 75% of the time, they go for it and haven't looked back. Bye bye to the opiodes and benzo dependency, hello CBD and a healthier way of living๐Ÿ‘(I was on those prescriptions too, for a looong time). I feel good everytime I take money out of big Pharma's pocket. F@$k em. Another long response ๐Ÿ˜…. Sorry! If you can get it for dirt cheap (and it should be) absolutely go for it๐Ÿ‘. I had no idea it was in concrete, haha. But it makes sense as a bonding agent(?). Neat!

@JinksyGrows, it will takes a while to undo generations of brain washing. Please don't get too tired of saying about the benefit of legalization. Potassium silicate is used at work to harden concrete. Cost is under two dollars per kilo. Dosage is probalby a gram per liter. I think I'll ask a friend to get me 100 grams or so to try on some extra clones.
JinksyGrows
JinksyGrows
@Med_in_Tropic, Thanks man. It was a really ugly raining day where I am but that didn't stop me from going out and smoking one with some buddies! Really, really hope the rest of the world is watching and sees that NOTHING bad happened when we legalized, that there's lots of tax revenue available, hospital visits related to opiodes and alcohol are down, intoxicated drving is way down, violence at bars is down.... and on and on. It's time to legalize. Objective proof that cannabis is a positive force, not a negative one, is evident and I really hope the world's governments wake up and end this farse. Smoking freely yesterday made me sad for all the people on here growing in the shadows for fear of consequences and/or jail time. It's saddening and the fear needs to stop๐Ÿ˜ž. (oop! short unexpected rant, haha!) And potassium silicate was recommend to me by @Mrs_Larimar about half way through my second grow. It's simply a soluble source of potassium and silicon and has worked very well for me and the girls by helping shore up cell walls and giving them strength to carry their flower weight. There are powder versions but it's extremely unhealthy to accidentally inhale it. It's pure earth sediment/silicate and can cause serious lung issues, lol. NOPE๐Ÿ˜! I went with a liquid version by Emerald Harvest that has proven to work really well๐Ÿ‘. That being said, you could easily get away with a cheaper product like Gaia Green, that carries it's own version that's waaaay cheaper w/ a much larger amount. I'll keep posting about it as I'm hoping to see some more rigidity with it's use to the end of flower, too๐Ÿ‘. Cheers man! sorry for the long ass response, haha!
