I wasn't planning on running the Purps again right away but there was a change in plans with my SweetSeeds testers not working out as I had hoped. Anyway, the Purps I harvested last time tastes like more ๐Ÿ˜‹ It turned out really nice - super fragrant and tasty - but the yield was a little disappointing. I'm hoping to see if I can get a little more out of her this time around. I know I made a few missteps last time so hopefully I've learned from those mistakes and this run will be smoother - famous last words. ๐Ÿ˜‚ She'll be growing along side some Zkittlez Glue inside my new, and slightly larger tent. Wha-hoo! Bring it, stretch! No issues at all germinating the seed - soaked overnight in distilled water and moved her onto a moistened paper towel between 2 paper plates the next day. Left her on the warming mat overnight. Seed cracked with taproot showing by the next day. Moved the seed into a pete plug and put it in the seed starter inside the tent. After a couple of days a couple of roots started showing through the plug and I then transplanted it into a 5 gallon DWC bucket. "Grandaddy Purps Fast is the result of crossing Purple Urkle with Big Bud and a secret hybrid to impart the fast finish. It is a predominantly Indica F1 strain suitable for cultivation indoors and outdoors which finishes quickly and producing very high levels of THC." Off we go again. Thanks for tuning in โœŒ๏ธ

Hey man, just noticed you got ph issues on this plant too. Whenโ€™s the last time you calibrated your ph meter? This happened to me early on in 2 of my current DWC grows and turned out my pen just went wonky, and I need to buy a new one, wouldnโ€™t even calibrate anymore. Just thought Iโ€™d mention it just in case your having the same issue maybe. Cheers ๐Ÿ’จ

@StunFlower, I think you got it nailed down now. Cal meg def is so similar to ph swings itโ€™s hard to tell some times, or the ph swing is locking it out sometimes and itโ€™s both... lol But I agree with the backup liquid test kit too, I also do this now to check that my shit is still calibrated. Doesnโ€™t give you bang on measurements but it gives you a good idea. I have 3 ph meters now that kinda work but I donโ€™t trust any of them! Lol I canโ€™t be calibrating them every 2 days either, and a few cheap ones Iโ€™ve scrapped over the years as well. I have 1 that I use daily thatโ€™s a mid level pen that I keep calibrated best I can weekly, and another 2 that plug in and have leads to measure ph and ec constantly in my 2 reservoirs but they drift a lot and kinda suck to calibrate. Gotta keep them in the storage solution for real I guess...lol I used to use the strips way back when, they work good too.

@russrahl, I've had issues with a faulty PH meter before but I think the meter is currently in range. I use a liquid test kit periodically as well just to make sure the pen isn't out of whack. I didn't give her any CalMag early on and I think she suffered a bit of a deficiency - so it seemed to me anyway. If you think there might be something else going on I'd be keen to hear your thoughts. Thanks for commenting ๐Ÿ‘

Super interesting man! What are the odds it starts to flower in 18/6 - truly a scientific phenomenon๐Ÿ’ช

Is this plant an auto or photo? Looks like it is starting to flower on 18/6. Looks great!

@@motaman311, I was thinking the same thing about the ruderalis and the auto leaning tendencies. I'm certainly not disappointed to see what I'm seeing so far. Maybe I will get that fast flowering finish that I missed out on last time ๐Ÿคž

@StunFlower, It could have some ruderalis (auto) bred in it to help reduce the flowering time and you got an auto leaning plant. I don't fully understand it. Interesting to see. I'm pretty sure my aghani gold was flowering in veg too, but I had to trash it because I wasn't ready for it to flower lol.

@@motaman311, It's apparently a photo. Looks to me like she's starting flowering too. Honestly, I'm mystified as to what's going on here. If I didn't mix things up and this is the Purps, she's a completely different beast than the last time I ran her. She is supposed to be a fast flowering variety but it sure didn't happen before the light flip last time. I guess she could just be a different genotype. We'll see what happens.

I wouldn't worry about the bud size man - they'll fatten up in the next couple weeks I'm sure ๐Ÿ‘Œ My Pakistan Valley grow I ran into variegation with the 1 plant from the start (green on the leaves came in all inconsistent and I thought would really affect the yield since it's the chlorophyll that's messed which is a main building block for tissue here). Overall, the bud turned out pretty unqiue - to the point the seasoned smokers that tried it all went..."this tastes like peaches" - so it has a lot of the geraniol terpene. When I look up this terpene, the whole profile matches the other plant as well since that one tastes like skunky, sour and cheesy - completely different pheno yet same soil, environment, same everything really. ๐Ÿ‘ Perfect indica mellow high with that "step of highs" increase, no burn out and can function on a wake and bake ๐Ÿ˜

@CannaScuzzyB, Thanks Canna. I'm not really concerned about the size of the buds - just an observation. It's been an interesting grow with some unexpected twists. Bottom line, the plant is healthy so I'm thrilled about that. I had opportunity for an early sample as I accidentally broke one of the tops. Even though it's still not fully ripe I was pleasantly surprised by the potency at this stage of the game. I think she'll be just fine. ๐Ÿ‘

Very nice man! - question: Where did you get those supports for the plants (yellow hooks with the string draws)?...looking fantastic as always buddy ๐Ÿ‘ŒโœŠ๐Ÿ˜€

Perfect form, should get some decent air circulation around those buds with those tall colas ๐Ÿ’ช

@NuggetPawn, Thanks Nug. Other than the mysterious genetic turn she's taken, I'm really happy with her growth. I'm certainly not having the humidity issues as my last grow. I think venting the tent outside has made a huge difference as well.

More GDP! How fast is this supposed to be?

@@motaman311, Flowering time is advertised at 42-49 days; she went longer than that last time. I'm hoping to harvest a bit more from her this time around. Ironically, I effed up the FIMing process in the last run (which I means I just topped her ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ) so I didn't get as much branching as I would have liked. Hoping to do better this time.
