So the bigger plant had a better yield than I expected at 104g dry but the 24g the smaller one yielded balance the scales. I would have to grow more of these to give a more accurate review. The aroma and colors are as advertised, strong blueberry scent and solid colors. The bud structure was not great, obviously the little one came out pretty awful all around with the fox tails and the big one is about a 6/10 dense, a little airy and weirdly structured. The smoke was a mellow indica high but not very potent just kind of chills you out and makes you a bit hungry and wanna hit the couch. If your looking for a quick harvest, some good smellin nug and some bag appeal then I would recommend. If your looking for something more consistent, solid in bud structure and potent I would reccomend starting with something else like a stardawg or six shooter.

Reviews. Nutrient
Pure blend pro is good stuff and cheap
The b52 and bud ignitor both got chunky after less than a month, the big bud coco isnt great for drip lines and is a weird thick/foamy substance that requires stirring before each watering can fill-up. I like the nirvana bc ig contains natural and organic components which contribute to a more natural, potent aroma that is more true to the genetics.
Armor Si will always have a spot in my line up, it beefs up stalks nicely, has the highest concentration of silica and is very cheap compared to others. The floralicious is solid, I like how you only need 1ml/gal but also isnt ideal for drip lines. Also contains natural and organic components which cause the reservoir to smell after a couple days.
Roots excellerator really works and it works great. Its very expensive but to me worth it. I clearly noticed an uptick in root development. Crucial to have a reliable rooting stimulant with autos as the veg time is limited it helps to maximize development before bloom. I have not noticed any improvements using drip clean which is weird because I heard great things, maybe I'm not using it correctly.
I havnt done side by sides without it so idk how much of a difference it makes. I gave it four stars because my buds are always frosty. I do not flush with it and dont feed it the last week of feeding as I've read it can contribute to the plant up taking potentially harmful metals. I've found a slow, con trolled flush over a week or 2 brings out the true aroma provided by genetics.

Definitely indica dominant, easy to grow and quick to finish. I got 2 completely different phenos. Smells strong like berries and has beautiful colors. Not as potent in terms of the thc content as I would have hoped for but that seems to be the downfall of the purp strains they not as potent. Easy to grow for the most part, the only thing is the bud structure and consistently cuz they got the same exact treatment as every other plant under hlg quantum boards.

Did her genetics allow the purple bro or did you have to keep it cooler in the tent
Hawkbo
Hawkbocommented7 years ago
@QualityOrganics1, genetics for sure my tent stays around 75°f although with the Co2 I think it would be better around 80

beautiful man. when do you top and defol your autos? I didn't have much luck
Hawkbo
Hawkbocommented7 years ago
@Bloodmilkandsky, thank you bro I didn't on these 2 but usually 3rd mode somewhere in week 2 and I'll defoliate from anywhere after the 2nd set of fsn leaves, I cut my fan leaves tips in half during veg in this run and it worked out very well for some reason better than full defoliation but that could be cuz I had co2 supplementation thru the full run this time

Just been admiring some of you're diaries 👍 Nice grows there bro 👊 Was looking at these seeds and a few others ( Blackberry 😋 ) of there's and can't make up my mind !!😤 Want to try a Purple variety me thinks !!

@Hawkbo, thanks bro! such a knowledge!!
Hawkbo
Hawkbocommented7 years ago
@CerebroVerde, Haha its cuz my tent is so packed and I have to grow a bunch of different strains at once so they are all different shapes and sizes it's like a puzzle, I train the plants to fit the space without using a trellis so I can take them out easily. My gram per watt low because I put the actual power of the lamp and it's not divided by all the plants under it but I tey to make it so there no wasted energy from the light.

Your grow is looking great. I'm also growing a Fastbuds plant and using Advanced Nutrients and was hoping you wouldn't mind a question. I started out using 25% strength on the AN feed chart, then bumped it up to 37.% when I notice Nitrogen deficiency and I'm not sure that's enough. What percentage of the AN recommend strength chart do you use on your auto? Thanks!

2x4grow420commented7 years ago
Thanks so much. As you've broken it down I went from 4 ml per gallon to 6ml recently. I've got a little calcium deficiency on one plant it seems. Think I'll keep the nutes the same and just add a little Cal-Mag and see how it goes. @Hawkbo,
Hawkbo
Hawkbocommented7 years ago
@2x4grow420, thank you pal I use an sometimes usually at 6 ml per gal for additives and work up to full strength about 7ml/gal for the ph perfect sensi coco around week 4 when roots are fully established. If your plants are established and healthy you should at least go to 5 or 6 ml/gal or have your ppms between 1040-1080 higher if supplementing co2. If your using alot of additives you can and should use less base nutrient I think
