Currently watering about twice a week, temp relatively low with the LED so evaporation is low. 2 days ago I added a small fan to make the leaves gently vibrate, which seems to increase evaporation.
I have started using CANNABIZ LiquiCompost, a local organic product alternative to BioGrow. Using it at 1/4 of the recommended rate for first 2 waterings. Soil/coco/perlite growing medium does have some nutrients already do don't want to overdo it.
Noticed one auto plant getting a little wrinkle on the leaves after the most recent water 24 hours before, the rest of the plants are fine. I have read autos dont need as much nutrients so will try next watering without nutrients on that plant. Currently can only measure PH and not EC so will just need to monitor - any feedback / opinions on what might be causing the wrinkle are welcome.
For those wondering - I started adding Vermiculite to the top layer of grow medium in the pots - as small flies were buzzing about. This seems to have helped a lot.
Bubblegum + Pro auto in late flower - a week ago some purpling of the buds but not many of the leaves, maybe 2 or 3. Plant healthy all through flowering, regular waterings with BioPhos https://hydroherbafrica.co.za/product/cannabiz-range/. Nights down to 10 C. Any concerns?
Thanks for the feedback guys.. Helps bring the anxiety levels down during these final stages!
In the past week I have since stopped nutrients (past 2 waterings) to get a flush going. More purpling all over on buds, sugar leaves seem fine - more purpling on the bottom fan leaves so seems more late flowering / phosphorus related. The buds have swollen up massively in the past couple of weeks so not too worried.
I plan to harvest in 2 days or so. Looks and smells fantastic, can consider this resolved.
Hello johntyroads,
It seems like your plants are doing well. Purpling may occur during cold nights and heavy temperature fluctuations, nothing to worry about.
Good luck with your project, I wish you all the best! 👽
No worries. Looks very healthy, probably caused from low phosphorus. So much gets used in flowering.
But if its just showing this late in flowering, you are fine, lots of people flush the last 2 weeks anyways. It'll just drain your fan leaves to start.
Cold can also turn them purple but unless its below 5 degrees I never noticed much purple before. A few light frosts outside could do that too though.
