Week 7 - Purple Punch Auto
All measurements are per 1L of water
Start of week 7!
Day 43 (Flower Day 15) - Wow halfway through 12 weeks already. I'm excited and the ladies are all doing great. I've got the light at 80% power (drawing 240w out of the possible 300w) and they seem to like that best currently. When i tried it at full power their leaves would start to fold downward towards the end of the day. Still waiting on my cheap LUX meter so i can halfway figure out the PAR rating as the light seems more powerful than what the manufacturer lists on their website for their readings interestingly enough. I mixed up 9 Liters total today, 3 for the purple punch and 2 for the rest. The purple punch seems the thirstiest and always has the least amount of runoff so i wanted to make sure she got a decent amount of runoff. I did also test the runoff and it came out to EC 1.2 and PH 6.8 which i think is fine for what i've been feeding them. The total mixture this week was as follows (per 1L measurements as always) also note the A and B are slightly strange as i just did 20mL of A and B for the 9 Liters of water which came out to the following: - water 0.2 EC added CaMg to 0.5 EC / 0.5 Rhizotonic / 2.22mL A / 2.22mL B / 1mL Cannazyme / 2.22mL Boost for a final reading of EC 1.4 and PH 6.2 - Going forward I think I may keep the dose of A and B under 2.5mL per Liter as the plants seem just fine with it and their stretching and growth phase seem complete, now they just seem to be filling out the bud sights and growing new leaves here and there.
Day 44 (Flower Day 16) - Slow day today, just a regular feed of 2L each and a few leaves defoliated here and there, not much. Feed was as follows: water 0.2 EC added CaMg to 0.5 EC / 0.5 Rhizotonic / 2.0mL A / 2.0mL B / 1mL Cannazyme / 2.5mL Boost for a final reading of EC 1.4 and PH 6.2 - Will post new pics with some measurements tomorrow but i think they've stopped stretching (thankfully).
Day 45 (Flower Day 17) - Rained again all day so humidity back up near 60%. There was quite a bit of runoff from yesterday so they are pretty saturated and with the already high humidity i didnt want to chance bumping it up anymore. I'm skipping feeding them today as the medium is still very dark and saturated. They'll be getting a full feed tomorrow. I took measurements today. Gelato #33 seems to be the same height and the rest grew a little bit.
Day 46 (Flower Day 18) - Humidity still hovering around 60% but i have hope for the weather getting better. If it persists i'll be getting a dehumidifier. Fed the ladies 9L total today, 2L each and 3L for the Purple Punch as she's always the thirstiest. All had about 10% runoff. The feed was as follows: water 0.2 EC added CaMg to 0.5 EC / 0.5 Rhizotonic / 2.25mL A / 2.25mL B / 1mL Cannazyme / 2.25mL Boost for a final reading of EC 1.6 and PH 6.1 - Will update tomorrow with pictures.
Day 47 (Flower Day 19) - Finally stopped raining and the next week the weather is starting to warm up in time for summer (finally). I didnt feed the ladies today as their medium was still very moist at the top and sides. I feel that as they've stopped stretching that they've gotten a little less thirsty now. Tomorrow I'll try 1.5L feed each and see how they like that. Everyone's starting to flower with the Purple Punch being the largest but the slowest to flower. The Critical Jack Herer is looking beautiful and Gelato#33 is really catching up in flowering with White Widow not far behind them.
Day 48 (Flower Day 20) - Fed the ladies 2L each of the following nutrients: water 0.2 EC added CaMg to 0.5 EC / 0.5 Rhizotonic / 2.0mL A / 2.0mL B / 1mL Cannazyme / 2.0mL Boost for a final reading of EC 1.5 and PH 6.1 - Will update tomorrow with pictures.
Day 49 (Flower Day 21) - Happy Fathers day to all the male growers tending to their ladies out there! - End of week 7! Ladies have been hungry so I fed them 3L each today of the following nutrients: water 0.2 EC added CaMg to 0.5 EC / 0.5 Rhizotonic / 2.25mL A / 2.25mL B / 1mL Cannazyme / 2.25mL Boost for a final reading of EC 1.6 and PH 5.8 - They all look healthy and thriving. I noticed that the trunk of the purple punch is much larger than the others, which is probably why she's the tallest. I think Barney might be wrong on their genetics as she looks way more sativa than the indica that they note. Oddly enough its the Critical Jack Herer that's suppose to have the lone (most) sativa genetics of the group and she looks the most indica from her leave profile. Check out the pics, more to come for week 8 and i'll take measurements tomorrow to start it off!
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
