1st grow purple lemonade

—

Well into week #2. All 5 purple lemonade are on day 9 and looking ok i think. 3 of the 5 have taken off and 2 have seem a little bit slower in growth rate. I also noticed 3 of the 5 have skinny purple stems compared 2 the 2 larger ones that have thicker green stocks. Im not sure what this is due to from this being my first indoor grow. Also plants seem a little short to me. Not even sure if the plants are growing at a proper rate. I also had a problem with about 15 gnats spotted over the course of the last week. As a result i have stopped watering for the past 3 days to dry the soil out to prevent them from breeding further. I did water a tiny bit today at the base of stem on all 5 plants but not much at all. I have been able to maintain a pretty steady temp of 25c and a RH of around 60-70%. Any suggestions on the gnats or skinny stems would be great! Happy growing

Start of week number 3. 2 of the 5 are stunted for some reason, they stopped growing after the first week. The other 3 have started to take off in growth. Goin to start LST in the next week i think. Humidity is a little lower than i would like but im trying to keep it down to help with keeping the gnats away. Every time i water they seem to come back. Ive tried cinnamon and sticky traps that help but they are still a few every day. Not sure if its worth while to grow the runts out or to remove and fill the space with2 new ones. Any suggestion or comments on how they look would be great!

Start of week 4. 2 of the 3 ladies have grown quite a bit in past 6 days. The 1 smaller one has seemed to have stopped growing. Leaves are very dark green and starting to curl. I think it may be nitrogen toxicity so yesterday i flushed all three plants with straight water at a PH of 6. Started LST on the 2 stronger ones, which has exposed new growth sites over past 4 days. I do feel the plants should be bigger for day 21 but not sure, its hard to tell as the Lst has they pretty flat to the soil. Any suggestions would be great!

Start of week 5. One of the plants started flowering last week while the other one looks like it has not started yet. Both larger plants, I applied lst to them to expose more bud sites. One of my plants has stopped growing all together but has flipped to flowering. I did contact fastbuds in regards to 2 of the 5 seeds actually growing. All seeds were grown under the exact same conditions and growing medium. 2 died as sprouts and the one is a runt as you can see. I was not impressed with fastbuds customer service as they do state the have a seed replacement policy but after a week it just seemed like they were trying to NOT replace the seeds in anyway they could.

Start of week 6 today for both purple lemonades from fastbuds. Both ladies are in flower mode, the first being about a week ahead of the other. Trichomes are starting to develop on the one plant, and are getting bigger by the day. Plants had a access of nitrogen so i flushed both plants with 4l of water and they seem to be doing better. Any suggestions on how to increase yields or get fatter buds would be great!

Start of week 7, day 49 for both of these ladies. Pheno 1 is about a week behind the other but both are growing strong and getting bigger every day. On a recommendation i have started both on a low dose of organic molasses with a ph balanced water of 6.1. I also defoliated a few leaves on the bottom that were laying in the soil. I havent had any problems yet, that i know in terms of discolouration on the leaves. Wondering if the buds will get bigger as they have seemed to come to a stand still the last 2 or 3 days? Any tips or suggestions would be great! Happy growing

Start of week 8. These ladies are really starting to smell, with a strong smell of berries and citrus on both phenos. Going to start flush on the first plant as im starting to see some of the trichomes are turning milky. Im thinking another 2 weeks but not 100% sure. Any opinions would be great! Pheno 2 is a little bit behind so im thinking another 3 or 4 weeks. No other issues, just waiting to chop these ladies!

Start of week 9. Buds are filling out nicely, but trichomes are still mostly clear. Breeder says 8-10 weeks so im hoping they are ready in the next week. Both are starting to show a little bit of the leaves fading, not sure if its normal or the start of some sort of deficiency. Super strong smell on both phenos. I was expecting alot more in terms of weight but the quality dies look great. Cant wait! 💨💨

We had alot of fun growing this strain. Very easy to grow. Had some early problems with nitrogen toxicity but not any real major issues once they hit flowering. Both phenos went till the end of week 10. All dried and trimmed and out in jars for cure. The taste and effect are both great as per fastbuds genetics. They were not the biggest yielding plants but the quality is great.
