Week 12. A week of ups and downs with Alaskan. On the down side I found two spot of rot and had to cut out both buds in full from the lower branches. Of course I’m not happy but it was always a risk pushing the grow so late into winter. I first just noticed a few leaves a bit withered and when I rolled my thumb on them a bit of bud dame out. So I cut the whole part and with a close inspection found one more area which was cut out. The rest looks fine and I reckon I only have a week to go. With temps a little warmer forecast next week I’m pretty hopeful now. On the upside, the lush purple started bursting out of her only in the last day or so. Yes, my first purple! Looks stunning, I am loving Alaskan now. Cheers 🍻
@Spliffi, Ihave a mate in ZA. He was growing fine. Native plants do well. And ZA is famous for many Sativa strains. Indica's do better in cooler climate. And common wisdom is that 0 C is the temperature when your have purple on purple strain. So, 13 C is just fine.
I am in Thailand. My coldese is 20 :D :D :D . Today, I am panting in 40 degree heat. Plant just stop growing in this heat. And I am waiting for my winter.
@Med_in_Tropic, thanks Med,, I didn’t really know that,, they were just freebies that I thought I might experiment with through winter... we do have beautiful winter weather where I live. It can get a bit cold, like top temps of 15 in winter, but really dry and clear through the day so hoping to just get something worth while in the “off season”. Thanks for your advice always mate 🍻
