Week 12 - Purple Punch Auto
All measurements are per 1L of water
Day 78 (Flower Day 50) - Week 12 is here! So I've made preprations for dyring and curring the Critical Jack Herer outside the tent in a climate controlled closet. The digial microscope i bought did arrive and i checked all over CJH top, middle, lower cola's and flowers and they are mostly cloudy. She's not gotten any bigger in weeks as well. I also took a tiny nug from one of her lower cola's halfway down that's flower. Which is quite low on her. Most of the digital pictures are from that. So you can see the development of even her least developed flowers. I also vaped it and although it took a high temperature to do it, it came off pretty smooth, no chemical taste, just a little 'fresh'. The mood elevator was great and lasted 4 1/2 hours. So i feel confident in starting a week long flush. The other ladies, Purple Punch is about 3-4 weeks to go atleast, the White Widow and Gelato #33 maybe another 1-2 weeks befure their turn to flush. I plan to chop the CJH on saturday which makes for a 6 day flush which i feel comfortable about given her quality already. The feeds are split up now between the PP/WW/G33 and CJH. So without further ado the feed for the PP/WW/G33 is as follows:
Water EC 0.2 added CaMg to 0.5 EC / 1.7mL A / 1.7mL B / 1.0mL Cannazyme / 1.5mL Boost for a total of EC 1.3 and PH 6.5 (note Rhizotonic has been removed) ////// The feed for Critical Jack Herer as follows: water 0.2 EC added 1.5mL Cannazyme for a EC of 0.4 and PH 6.4
Day 79 (Flower Day 51) - Busy day for me so just the feed report:
feed for the PP/WW/G33 is as follows: Water EC 0.2 added CaMg to 0.5 EC / 1.7mL A / 1.7mL B / 1.0mL Cannazyme / 1.5mL Boost for a total of EC 1.3 and PH 6.3 (note Rhizotonic has been removed) //////
The feed for Critical Jack Herer as follows: water 0.2 EC added 1.3mL Cannazyme for a EC of 0.4 and PH 6.5
Day 80 (Flower Day 52) - The purple punch is really getting top heavy, She's starting to get her lean on. My 1 meter long stakes arent nearly long enough for her so i'm going to have to figure something else out for her. Was a very humid and hot day today so been battling that to keep temps and humidity down in the tent. Luckily only a few more days to go for the CJH so once she's out of there things should start getting more manageable. Feed today for the CJH flush was as follows: Water 0.2 EC added 1.0mL for a final reading of EC 0.3 and PH 6.5 (4 liters). /// For the PP/WW/G33 the following feed: Water 0.2 EC added CaMg to 0.5 EC / 1.7mL A / 1.7mL B / 1.0mL Cannazyme / 2.0mL Boost for a final reading of EC 1.4 and PH 6.4
Day 81 (Flower Day 53) - A few days late so here are the next 4 days that i missed of updates. I notice some discoloration on the very tops of the sugar leaves of PP/CJH/WW, it kind of looks like either too much Magnesium or Phosphorus (or lockout). I'm going to be stopping the CaMg as its close enough to harvest that i feel they'll all be ok. Also I'm lowering the feed of the PP/WW/G33 down quite a bit in preparation for the flush to come. Feed today was as follows for the CJH Flush: Water 0.2 EC / 1mL Cannazyme to EC 0.3 & PH 6.5 //// PP G33 WW feed as follows: Water 0.2 EC / 1.5mL A / 1.5mL B / 1mL Cannazyme / 1.5mL Boost / PH 6.4 and EC 1.2
Day 82 (Flower Day 54) - Preparations for the CJH harvest, will do on saturday. Feed was the same as yesterday: CJH Flush: Water 0.2 EC / 1mL Cannazyme to EC 0.3 & PH 6.4 //// PP G33 WW feed as follows: Water 0.2 EC / 1.5mL A / 1.5mL B / 1mL Cannazyme / 1.5mL Boost / PH 6.3 and EC 1.1
Day 83 - (Flower Day 55) - Feed was the same as yesterday: CJH Flush: Water 0.2 EC / 1mL Cannazyme to EC 0.3 & PH 6.5 //// PP G33 WW feed as follows: Water 0.2 EC / 1.5mL A / 1.5mL B / 1mL Cannazyme / 1.5mL Boost / PH 6.4 and EC 1.2
Day 84 (Flower Day 56) - Harvest!!!!!! Wow what a day its been! So i chopped down my lovely Critical Jack Herer and I couldnt be happier with her. She was a real champ! Infact i've even bought more of the exact same seeds for a future grow (way in the future). I wont be doing wet weight as I dont see any point in it whatsoever, I will be certain however to weight once the dry is complete. The idea is to dry for 4-7 days (whenever the twig branches have a nice 'snap' sound) then they'll be de-stemmed, weighed, and go into the jars for the curing process. Luckily the humidity is perfect right now mid to high 50's with a temperature of 80f / 26.6c which puts the dew point at a safe level. I have recirculating air as well from a low powered oscillating fan. I got up at 8am to start cutting and didnt finish until 10pm at night (i took a few hours breaks in total). My first time trimming and after awhile you kind of hit your stride. I did notice that the beginning of the wet trim was MUCH easier than the last 4-5 hours or so as they leaves were all starting to wilt and turn inward which made trimming much more difficult. So lesson here is once you chop, trim immediately if you're going for a wet trim. Once the flowers are dry i'll be sure to add a 'harvest' section with the dry weight. I dont want to do it yet as i heard from others you cant go back and edit it later so i want to be sure to include the dry weight there. - As for the 3 other ladies they are doing well. The extra room was dearly needed and they've suffered from not being able to spread out as much as they like (another lesson learned). The Purple Punch is getting so top heavy that she's really starting to fall over, however i dont have 3 meter long stakes for her so I took about 10 large zip ties and fashioned them into one larve one to kind of keep her top half together from falling over ontop of the White Widow and Gelato#33 - I tried spreading out the White Widow and Gelato as well and added stakes to the Gelato to help her stya up as well (now witht he extra room she's falling over too). Going forward I'd like to harvest them all at the same time now that they arent too far apart. So i'll be monitoring the Purple Punch and doing it that way. -- The Feed for the PP/WW/G33 today was as follows (also last of my boost so no more going forward): Water 0.2 EC / 1.0mL A / 1.0mL B / 1mL Cannazyme / 3mL Boost / PH 6.4 and EC 1.0
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
