Week 11 - Purple Punch Auto
All measurements are per 1L of water
Day 71 (Flower Day 43) - Week 11!!! Time really does fly and it's so nice to have the ladies with me as it does. A few changes are being made of note. First I'll be changing to a 24h light cycle. This is mainly to do with the spike in humidity when the lights go off and the temps go down rapidly. When the light is on the temps stay around 28c and humidity 50%, when its off it's about 24c and 61% humidity. So i rather error on the side of 50% humidity. Now these are auto's so arguably I could of had the lights on a 24h cycle all this time. Although i do see the merit in having a small night cycle for them and most of all for the LED light. However since its already week 11 and this grow will most likely only be going another two to three weeks I think it should be fine, maybe even beneficial to flower development. The feeds from now on will be with lower A and B and a little amount of PK until i taper off completely by the end of this week. I feel that the lower nitrogen and higher potassium and phosphorus should be more advantageous. Therefore the feed today was as follows: Water 0.2 EC added CaMg to 0.6 EC / 0.5mL Rhizo / 1.7mL A / 1.7mL B / 0.5mL PK1314 / 1.0mL Cannazyme / 1.5mL Boost for a final reading of EC 1.6 and PH 6.4
Day 72 (Flower Day 44) - The humidity and temperatures have been constant with the lights on a 24h cycle now. The humidity range is between 46-51% and the temperature's have been down as well and are around 26c currently as its been cooler lately. I'm happy that there are no more spikes happening. During the heat of the day i do turn down the lights a bit to keep the temps in control and keep the DLI down a bit for the plants for the day, they seem to be doing just fine from it. The feed today was as follows: Water 0.2 EC added CaMg to 0.6 EC / 0.5mL Rhizo / 1.7mL A / 1.7mL B / 1.0mL Cannazyme / 1.0mL Boost for a final reading of EC 1.4 and PH 6.3
Day 73 (Flower Day 45) - Trichomes still clear by a good amount on the CJH which is the furthest along, so they all have quite a ways to go, I'd say 3 weeks at the earliest. They all seem to be liking the cooler weather and constant humidity. The feed today was as follows: Water 0.2 EC added CaMg to 0.5 EC / 0.5mL Rhizo / 1.5mL A / 1.5mL B / 0.4mL PK1314 / 1.0mL Cannazyme / 2.0mL Boost for a final reading of EC 1.4 and PH 6.5
Day 74 (Flower Day 46) - Not much to report other than its raining again so humidity levels are up slightly but its much cooler. Humidity is about 55% and temperatures are way down to about 25c so according to the vapor chart everything is in a good range. I have the dehumidifer running constantly but its a tiny one so doesnt have such a huge effect on things. Regarding the light levels i turn off the light during the warmest part of the day for a few hours but stopped that yesterday due to the rain (then it gets humid fast in there without the heat). The girls all seem to be doing well just very slow growth with the exception of the Purple Punch as she's fattening up nicely. I upped their feed a little bit today to see how they like that. The G33 and WW are hardly drinking anything, about 1-1.5L and they get tons of runoff from that. The CJH about 1.5-2L and she gets the same runoff. The Purple Punch is the thirsty girl so i've been focused on making sure she's getting as much as she can drink each day with an equal amount of runoff. She drinks about 4L a day easily and is the driest come the next day before feeding time. Most likely due to her stage of flowering on putting on breadth/girth to the flowers. The feed today was as follows: Water 0.2 EC added CaMg to 0.5 EC / 0.5mL Rhizo / 2.0mL A / 2.0mL B / 1.0mL Cannazyme / 2.5mL Boost for a final reading of EC 1.6 and PH 6.3
Day 75 (Flower Day 47) - No pictures today, I'll get some up tomorrow. On some related news I've got one of those digital microscope's that should be arriving possibly by monday so i'll be able to post some good pictures of the trichomes of the ladies. I put a second fan in there as well to help with air movement which really helps put my mind at ease in regards to mold growing. The feed today was as follows: Water 0.2 EC added CaMg to 0.5 EC / 0.5mL Rhizo / 1.7mL A / 1.7mL B / 0.3mL PK1314 /1.0mL Cannazyme / 1.5mL Boost for a final reading of EC 1.4 and PH 6.4
Day 76 (Flower Day 48) - Purple Punch is really fattening up. I think the CJH is ready to be harvested but I'll wait until i get my digital microscope on Monday to confirm. The feed today was as follows: Water 0.2 EC added CaMg to 0.5 EC / 0.5mL Rhizo / 1.7mL A / 1.7mL B /1.0mL Cannazyme / 2.0mL Boost for a final reading of EC 1.3 and PH 6.5
Day 77 (Flower Day 49) - Everything is looking good with the ladies. I'm expecting that microscope tomorrow so expect some trichome pics tomorrow hopefully. Feed today was nice and light. I believe I'll keep it like this and wont be adding any more PK1314 going forward. Feed: Water 0.2 EC added CaMg to 0.5 EC / 0.5mL Rhizo / 1.7mL A / 1.7mL B /1.0mL Cannazyme / 2.0mL Boost for a final reading of EC 1.4 and PH 6.3
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
