Purple Punch Diary
Week 2: (all measurements per liter) - I'm using Nitric Acid for my PH down (Will switch to Phosphoric Acid during Flower)
Day 8 - Fed the girls a very light mixture 4 liter bucket of water (1 liter each) consisting of 1mL canna-coco A / 1mL canna-coco B / 2mL Rhizotonic / 2mL Cannazyme / and 0.5mL of PH Down to bring my levels to PH 6.0 / EC 1.0
Day 9: Fed the girls this time only 500ml of water each (2liters total for the day) - 1.25mL canna A / 1.25mL canna B / 2.5mL Rhizo / 2mL Cannazyme / PH 6.2 / EC 1.0
Day 10: Rotated them all 45 degrees - Same feed as yesterday - 500ml of water each (2liters total for the day) - 1.25mL canna A / 1.25mL canna B / 2.5mL Rhizo / 2mL Cannazyme / PH 5.9 / EC 1.4
Day 11: Stepped up to 4L of water (1L each) - Ratio's per liter - 1.5mL canna A / 1.5mL canna B / 2mL Rhizo / 2mL Cannazyme / PH 5.9 / EC 1.4 --- Also made a foliage spray of 1L water (0.2 EC) and 1mL Rhizo, brought PH to 6.1. Sprayed the underside of all the leaves, then the top sides. I let sit for a few minutes then gently blotted only the tops of the leaves as to not magnify the light intensity on them. I also brought down the LED light from 80cm to 70cm - All are looking healthy with nice growth.
Day 12: 4L of water (1L each) - same amount and ratio as yesterday - 1.5mL canna A / 1.5mL canna B / 2mL Rhizo / 2mL Cannazyme / PH 5.9 / EC 1.4 --- Used the left over foliage spray i made yesterday, the PH has crept up to 6.3 which i think is still fine. Will probably make new next time. After i spray the UNDER side of the leaves i make sure to take a dry soft paper towel and gently get any droplets on the TOP of the leaves so they do not magnify the light and burn them. I also lowered the light from 70cm to 65cm today (eventually 60cm will be where its headed in a day or two). Just want to get them aclimated slowly and methodically. They all have a faint wonderful smell now, each unique in its own right.
Day 13: Two feedings today, I wasnt getting much run off the past two days so i wanted to make sure to get plenty this time to flush out any salts and make sure the large 5gallon(20liter) pots are nice and saturated. First feeding in the morning a few hours after the LED popped back on from its timer. --- 4L water with a EC of 0.2, added Calcium and Magnesium seperately in a 4 to 1 ratio to bring the EC up to 0.5 / 2mL A / 2mL B / 2mL Rhizo /2mL Cannazyme for a total PH 5.9 / EC 1.6
------------ hardly any runoff ------- 2nd daily feeding no CalMag this time / 4L water / 2mL A / 2mL B / 2mL Rhizo / 2mL Cannazyme for a PH 5.9 / EC 1.4 --- Plenty of runnoff, will return to 1L per plant a day tomorrow and monitor the runoff amount to make sure its getting all the way through so no salts buildup. Will post a new picture tomorrow.
Day 14: 4L water 0.2 EC added Calcium & Magnesium in a 4 to 1 ratio bringing EC to 0.4 --- 2mL A / 2mL B / 2mL Rhizo / 2mL Cannazyme for a PH 6.1 / EC 1.6 -- Perfect amount of runnoff. I'm back to 1L per plant a day and 1 feeding per day if this amount of runoff continues
What a week, they've grown so fast. Each are doing great and any worries seem to be in the past and gone. I think I'm getting the feel for the nutrient mixtures and the plants seem to be responding well. Next week I'll be doing some LST for the very first time so here's hoping for that. I did use some garden wire to just hold the Purple Punch in position (no LST yet) as he was listing to the side like the leaning tower of Pisa π
Yoo Lith the garden looks pristine!! One can tell you did the research properly ;)) Plus the setup is top notch, looking forward to the flo phase! Good to see ya on this platform as well, keep it up - 99 donuts :P
Rumble in the jungle!! π²Wow.....coming on nicely brother and they're all developing really well π. As you say the timings going to be a little awkward with the various strains but what can you do man?
Super nice garden bud!!! π
@@Lit_1, I hear you completely bruv and let's just hope we're blessed with good conditions when our time comes!! On my first outing I definitely panicked and stopped drying way too early so I'll 100% be waiting for snapping stems this time......at least 7 days. It's about heat for me during drying so I'll see how it is nearer the time whether to leave some leaf on or not and maybe do a dry trim this time.......funny thing is I can't afford any smell leakage during harvest so I'll be jumping in me tent with me little baby and chopping her up in there!!! If I pull all the other bits out I might just squeeze in!! π
What a Fucking Beautiful Little Forest!!! ππ². All looking well bruv and I don't quite know how you're dealing with 4 ladies.....I'm just about managing 1!!
That goes for real life ladies too π
Blessings to you my brother π
@Bushbaby808, I been smoking for almost as long, 25 years but took breaks here and there....never been able to smoke my own though so i'm VERY excited about that prospect!
On the strain age i think it could vary seed to seed as even the same type of seeds will have different genetics. I think just watch those trichomes and let those be your judge for how much/little amber you want. With an Auto I suppose it wont vary as much as a photoperiod but I think because she's been healthy for the most part she'll probably be in that normal 70-75 range...maybe give or take a few days. With a photoperiod maybe it would be true as you could spend longer in veg or in flower but with Auto's i think we're actually on hard mode with getting everything right at very specific time periods and she'll do what she does in that condensed time frame no matter the conditions (just less or more yield) if that makes sense.
@@Lit_1, Love that, Cheers man!!! Like you I'm hooked on this Shit but then I've been a lover of Marijuana for over 30 years so it's about time I step up and produce my own Goodness. π Youre a dedicated Brother so I'm sure you'll be chopping up some super sticky icky Shit in no time!!
What's you views on this bruv.....I'm growing a 70-75 strain but due to a lot of LST and not so perfect conditions it could easily be 80-85 ah?
I wonder if I'd left her to just grow would it of been nearer that time scale?
@Hemporio_Afghani, Ya i've got a ton of jars in preparation for it all! Quite excited! I think its fairly safe to say i'm going to have more than 1g/w of yield. We'll see just how much.
Just looked over your babies again bruv and you've got some beauties.....Proper glad its all worked out nicely for ya!! That's gonna be a bumper harvest brother, you won't be back on here again for months man ππΏπ.
@Bushbaby808, According to the weather should be about 25c and under and 55% humidity. I'll try to keep the humidity a bit lower. Also going to be doing a wet trim. Yea we're going to have to find some good purple strains to grow for the colder winter temps!
@@Lit_1, Ahh nice man, enjoy the sticky fingerz and I hope it goes well bruv.....Will you be trimming up before drying and how's your conditions gonna be? I'm sure I'll have temps around 22-25β which I'm hoping ain't too bad but I'd love the option to go down to 18-20 if needed!!!
We can't have it all I spoze!!! π
Definitely doing a winter grow....ππ
@GrowerGaz, No worries. It's such a new light i kinda took a leap of faith getting it. However their Zeus pro 600w is pretty great so i figured these attis models couldnt be far off. I pretty much had to walk their tech team through getting me a PAR map (info wasnt on their website at the time). After our conversation they've since added it to their 'spec sheets'. So far I'm really happy with it. The ladies all seem to love it as well. Any other questions regarding it dont hesitate! I'm growing in a 90x90x182cm tent (3'x'3'x6'). You probably can get away with 4x4 foot tent but i wouldnt go any bigger.
@GrowerGaz, Ya 100%. I just adjusted the height. I last put the distance at 65cm but now they pretty much grew to 60cm distance. I'll try to maintain that. When they were seedlings and the distance was more like 90cm I think i experimented with 60% and 80% but i changed it quickly to 100% mainly for the warmth. Also have a humidifer in there, 60% when they were seedlings, now i let it be around 50%. In flower i'll drop it to 40% or slightly below. I also have a mini fan on top blowing on the LED which keeps it 'luke warm' to the touch, without it its pretty hot (it is a heatsink afterall).
@@Lit_1, But, the others are behind so who knows what's gonna happen with them little fuckerz!! Crazy when you think of her stretch and slenderness that she's produced such fruits......Wicked!! Chuffed for you bruv ππ
@@Lit_1, Hahaaa, indeedy bruv!! You're in for a bumper bush of buds.....great work my friend, real good to see them all doing so well and not far off each other it seems!! π
@Bushbaby808, Yea she's loving life! She's so close to the light but i think she enjoys it, cant really detect any light burn on her now that she's in full flower mode. She still looks about 3 weeks out I think at best though. I had a goal of 200grams total from my grow, but i think this hedge might give me that just by herself!
@GMSgrows, Thank you bredren! I really appreciate it. I'm quite excited to smoke what I've grown for the first time in 30 years of herb smoking. Can't believe I haven't done this sooner. What a great relaxing hobby!
Dude you killing it. That PP going to fill out and colas be falling all over the place. She stacks nicely, and looks like youβve given her a good home so you should be in great shape. Great pics too, all looking awesome, hope she continues to party for you.
Greazy
@Greazy77, Thankfully i think she finally stopped stretching....i LST'd all the main cola's as well. She really seems to be focusing on flowering now which i'm thankful for! Next time i grow this strain i'll be topping and LST'ing the hell out of her, and most likely she'll be alone in the same tent. Cheers Greazy
@WitheredEye, Thank you sir! Just trying to leave myself some information for the next grow so as to improve upon it! I'm getting really excited about my first harvest!
@Bushbaby808, I'm thinking of planting these suckers as a hedge grove to separate my property line.... she's ridiculous! Maybe make a hedge grove maze out of them! π
Looking awesome man, those PPA grow big. Iβm with ya, for an Indica dom it sure Sativas! Ran out of height in my tent as well. Good luck rest of the way, gonna be tight in there for sure. Keep it realz.
Greazy
Nice nice brother, they've all put on some weight eh?
The Purple Punch is definitely punching man, she's massive with real nice thing bladed leaves!!!
Keep on doing what you're doing my friend ππ
