Week 3: Purple Punch Auto
All measurements per liter of water
Day 15:
Normal feeding to start the week. All the girls are looking healthy and showing growth each day.
1L water with an EC of 0.2 (1L per plant 4L total) - 2mL A / 2mL B / 2mL Rhizo / 2mL Cannazym / PH 6.0 EC 1.4 with a healthy amount of runoff. I wont be added Calcium and Magnesium everyday as its the one thing the Coco Coir does absorb, but perhaps every 2 to 3 days.
Day 16: LST day! I think i was more stressed than the plants. However i think it was successful. No broken or crimped branches or leaves. I tried to tuck a few of the larger leaves under the newer growth as well. I also did the LST before the feeding. After LST i only fed them 0.5L of nutrient mix, i'll feed the other 0.5L that they normally get a little later. I didnt want everything to be too much for them all at once. The mixture of nutrients was the same as yesterday water of EC 0.2 to start with -- 2mL A / 2mL B / 2mL Rhizo / 2mL Cannazyme / PH 6.0 and EC 1.4. Tomorrow I plan on giving them some Cal Mag again. -- Purple Punch is just a champ, I love the genetics although I think it might of been easier to wait a few days, maybe day 18 through 20.
Day 17: Feed /w Calcium & Magnesium today - 1L water with an EC of 0.2 Ca to Mg at a 8 to 1 ratio to EC 0.5 / 2mL A / 2mL B / 2mL Rhizo / 2mL Cannazyme to PH 6.1 and EC 1.7. Will update tomorrow with photos
Day 18: No feed today as i want to see how the coco coir stays moist for a day. In 4 days from now I'll be going way for 2 days so wont have any updates then and i wont be able to water the girls. They are in 5 gallon pots though (20 liter) so I think they'll be just fine. I'll be sure to really saturate them before i leave. One interesting note that i did in my research, i lined the top soil with aluminum foil which accomplishes two things: (1) Keeps any algae from growing (no light = no algae) and (2) it reflects some light into the more shaded covered parts of the ladies. --- Purple Punch is by far the biggest, she's just amazing in her growth.
Day 19: Normal Feed, No CaMg / 1L water with starting EC of 0.2 / 2mL A / 2mL B / 2mL Rhizo / 2mL Cannazyme to PH 5.9 and EC 1.4 (I've been trying to deviate a little from exactly 6.0 PH, from 5.8 to 6.2 range to give the plants a little more opportunity to uptake different nutrients at slightly different PH levels. -- Will update with more pics tomorrow -- PP is still the largest, i'm quite excited to see how she turns out. -- Another little note, I've really been 'tucking' the larger leaves underneath the smaller newer growth as is feasible.
Day 20: 1L water Normal Feed /w CaMg today / EC 0.2 to 0.5 after the CaMg / 2mL A / 2mL B / 2mL Rhizo / 2mL Cannazyme / PH 6.2 for maximum CaMg uptake EC 1.6. -- Wondering if the tips of the new growth are exibiting any signs of a micronutrient deficiency, Calcium is the most likely suspect however maybe i'm just over reading the plant. Thoughts?
Day 21: 1L water Normal Feed /w CaMg today / EC 0.2 to 0.5 after the CaMg / 2mL A / 2mL B / 2mL Rhizo / 2mL Cannazyme / PH 5.9 for maximum CaMg uptake EC 1.7 (trying to give the girls a nice little range of different PH). I also raised the LED light back up to 60-65cm above the canopy as they were growing a bit too fast. Thanks to @smoke24 for that insight!
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
