The plant has been shooting up over the last week. I tried to switch to bloom nutes to instigate flowering but she was having none of it, continuing to stretch and now exhibiting clear N def. Have now given her a big feed with added seaweed, epsom salt, and a little PK boost to get her going. First purple strain I've grown so can't wait to start seeing some colour - probably in the next two weeks. Overall she's a gangly plant and after her bottom leaves are truly drained she'll be lollipopped about halfway up.

Nice update this week and the training you've done has worked out well. Nicely done!

@ForestGreen, Understandable and the bending was the right thing to do. Nicely done!
ForestGreen
ForestGreencommented7 years ago
@Zannabis7, Thanks a lot mate. My two 3BOG grew to a nice height, just right for my tent, but I underestimated this one so hence the weird bending. Looks like she's stopped stretching now though so that should do it.

Looks like you're off to a great start. Interesting nutes - never heard of Oldtimer Grow. Best wishes on the grow.

@Zannabis7, thanks. It's a UK company. Organic liquid nutes. Pretty good and clean.

Looking beautifully symmetric my man

Thanks for the update. Looking very nice. I love the shot of the strong bend on the main stem. I never have enough courage to make such a strong bend out of fear of snapping the main stem! Continued best wishes on the grow.

@ForestGreen, Thanks for the tip. Much appreciated!

@Zannabis7, Thanks! I think the key is to squeeze all the way along to crush that part of the stem. Then it bends easily without snapping.

Don’t panic yet, I have the real Bay Area GSC and it naturally blacks out at week 5. But the first half of flower it’s Forrest Green? Lol. I also grew a purple kush a few years back that only changed weeks 6-7. So sometimes it’s more than just cold weather. It’s a hormone switch in heavy or near end flower.

@ForestGreen, those are awesome too ;)

ForestGreencommented7 years ago
@bobo420, Thanks mate. I know. They've got a good wobble on them when I pick them up. Those colas getting heavy. Edit: oops thought you were talking about the 3BOG. But this one is doing well too

Do you have any like earthy undertones?
ForestGreen
ForestGreencommented7 years ago
@Lucky777, no not really. Flowery and sweet. Like some sort of candy.

Nice update, some good looking buds ;) As of purple, you can try lowering your (night) temperature, if you can, by a few degrees. It shold 'jump start' them to bring that purple out.
ForestGreen
ForestGreencommented7 years ago
@bobo420, Yeah I hear that. Not sure there's much I can do about it unfortunately. When it looks more or less done I can take it out the tent and leave it in a cold room for a few days. Maybe that will bring out some last colour.
