Grandaddy Purps Redux: DWC Small Batch

@StunFlower, I think you got it nailed down now. Cal meg def is so similar to ph swings it’s hard to tell some times, or the ph swing is locking it out sometimes and it’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. Doesn’t give you bang on measurements but it gives you a good idea. I have 3 ph meters now that kinda work but I don’t trust any of them! Lol I can’t be calibrating them every 2 days either, and a few cheap ones I’ve scrapped over the years as well. I have 1 that I use daily that’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 👍

@CannaScuzzyB, Thanks buddy!

@CannaScuzzyB, Oh the wacky world of genetics. Full of surprises. 🤡

@@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 🤞

@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.

@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. 👍

@Legiongrower, Thank-you.

@CannaScuzzyB, Thanks pal! They are retractable plant yoyos and I got them from Amazon. https://www.amazon.ca/Lumo-X-Retractable-Support-Hydroponics-Greenhouse/dp/B085HLCW83/ref=sr_1_6?dchild=1&keywords=plant+yoyo+hangers&qid=1606780504&sr=8-6

@HAPPY91, Thanks Happy! 😃

@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.

@@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 🤦‍♂️) so I didn't get as much branching as I would have liked. Hoping to do better this time.
