Beginning of week... Beginning of first flush week! So excited!!! I put 4mL of FloraKleen into 3L of pH'd water.. Going in: 160 PPM.. Runoff: 700 PPM.. I may run 1 more flush of FloraKleen through the medium in the AM.. Will be updating on the runoff as I go.. Just makes better sense to check runoff to me.. I know some people dont do it.. And claim its pointless.. But I think runoff tells you ALOT.. I think the runoff reading is just from what was built into the medium still.. I just like to make sure she's getting nice and flushed for a good while.. And if the trichomes arent where I want them to be at the end of the 2 week flush I will flush for another week.. But only if needed.. Anyways.. Hope these 2 weeks fly by cuz the week before this didnt at all! Lol.. Next day.. Today is day 2 of flushing.. Used FloraKleen once again.. This time the runoff came out at 640 PPM.. Gettin there lol.. Tonight I'm going to just run 3L of pH'd water and same tomorrow morning.. Will update in the AM Later that night.. Lol.. This time the runoff came out at 750 PPM.. I'm guessing its just more nutrients that were built up in there.. Jeez.. So tomorrow I am just going to flush pH'd water in the AM and in the PM.. With more updates on how that goes.. I also lowered the light down to 12 inches from the tallest colas.. According to the PPFD chart Mars Hydro has, the tall colas (but outside of the footprint) should be getting close to 800 PAR and the shorter (but in the middle of the footprint) should be getting.. Roughly around the same I suppose.. The inside branches are still about 14 - 16 inches from the light.. Wish I would have been able to keep the canopy more even.. But I went with a LST technique that helped me keep all the branches instead of removing some.. Like instead of bending the plant over (to make a "T") to where some branches should probably just be removed because they are going straight into the medium lol.. But this time I tried to bend her over a little different (to make an "X") so that all the branches wouldn't be going straight into the medium.. Idk.. something I've been trying to figure out on my own lol.. But I think I prefer the "T" because it is easier to keep each branch, and it's twin, fairly even throughout the grow.. But I'm still happy asf how this grow has gone so far.. Should have lollipopped a bit too.. But I still enjoy smoking every last bit of these ladies.. And if they are too popcorn-ish, I'll just throw them in a bubble bag with the trim.. Still gonna be happy with the outcome either way!!! Autos are fun.. But I think I still prefer to control when flowering begins.. I know a 2×2 isn't ideal for this.. But I really wanna try to ScrOG a girl in this tent! Just to give it a shot and see how much of a difference it can make in yeild.. Anyways.. Will update tomorrow with the runoff and whatnot!... NEXT day after THAT (Almost mid week)... This AM the runoff came out 444 PPM.. Since I already mixed some pH'd water, I'm gonna use it later tonight.. With an update.. Lol Later that night... Runoff is still coming out about 400 PPM.. Decided to check the pH and the runoff is coming out at 7.. The fuck!? Maybe I forgot to pH earlier this week.. Idk. Whatever lol.. Mid week.. Runoff came out at 333 PPM this morning.. Just going to go back to one watering a day till harvest now. Hope I can get it down to 200 PPM or lower for the last week at least.. But still not sure if I will be letting it go an extra week or not.. We shall see how it goes till then.. The nug I attempted to pollinate didnt take.. Guessing the pollen was too old.. Trashed it.. It was feminized pollen but wasnt the greatest genetics either.. So no loss there.. But the nug looks kinda pathetic.. The pic shows it next to its sister nug and that one still looks good.. Maybe cuz Ive been fucking with it alot.. But whatev.. Shit happens.. May still keep updating the runoff daily.. May not.. See how I feel tomorrow lol Next day.. Runoff came out at 330 PPM again this morning.. Not bad, I suppose.. Alot lower than what its been before I started using this Brita filter lol.. May use Florakleen once more at the beginning of the next week.. Then just water till harvest. Just to see if I can get it down a little more. If not, I'm sure it'll be fine. The fan blowing on the undedside of the light slipped off the pole and was chopping away at one of the colas.. Luckily none of the buds were damaged.. Trichomes definately got knocked off tho lol.. And mostly leaf damage.. This girl smells so fucking amazing.. The colors are awesome.. I don't think I can find another strain to top this one lol.. We shall see tho... Almost end of week.. Runoff came down to 280 PPM this morning.. Niceeee.. I can live with that.. As long as it's not 400+ PPM I think it should be fine.. The main top cola is showing a nice amount of cloudy.. And the very bottom 2 stems are cloudy also.. But the rest of the plant seems moslty clear but also have some cloudy/milky along with them.. I can find a few amber in spots.. Will be updating with pics tomorrow along with some trichome shots!!!... End of week.. Today's runoff came out at 260 PPM.. Niceeee.. I tried to get alot of trichome shots but I just don't have a steady enough hand.. A couple colas have some amber coming it on the very top calyxes.. Some colas are cloudy.. Almost there!!! Not sure if I am gonna take this just 1 more week or 2 more weeks.. We will see how she looks at the end of the next week... As for now.. On to the next week!!!...

Grow Questions

Professor_Chaosstarted grow question 4 years ago
I used FloraKleen to flush my coco/perlite medium in between veg and bloom. Since then, I have fed, flushed, fed, flushed, etc.. Going in, 700 - 800 PPM but runoff is 300 - 400 PPM... Is the FloraKleen still in there, should I do a massive flush? WTF!?

Professor_Chaosanswered grow question 4 years ago
General Hydroponics emailed me.. I was NOT supposed to use FloraKleen to flush it at this time.. It's only meant to be used for pre-harvest flush.. And that's it! *when it comes to growing in coco coir*... I've been only feeding (without plain watering in between) until the runoff PPM is close enough to matching the PPM going in.. It took about 12 days.. The plant didn't seem to mind. But yeah.. Had to answer my own question.. Once again..

@Outsider, 85 grams.. More than I've yielded with an auto before.. Wish I would have lollipopped.. But live and learn lol

Professor_Chaoscommented4 years ago
@Outsider, Lol yes the "oh shits" were definately in there.. I have forgot to weigh some of my older diaries.. But this one will be weighed for sure! She's been drying for 3 days so far! In the past I've had issues with drying too quickly.. But so far she seems like she is going to be right on point! At least 7 days drying if not more.. I just checked on her now.. Smelled some of the colas and brushed some on my upper lip (accidentaly.. kinda lol).. As I'm typing this I can still smell her! Such a lovely lady! Gonna be a little while for a taste test and experience test tho. But it will ALL be updated as it happens! Thanks for checkin out my lovely lady!

@skyzohpanda, Yes it is! I have a whole bunch of purple strains stocked up already lol.. I've got quite the collection.. But almost half of my collection is purple strains lolol I love how they look.. Camt really see it in the pics, but there are some very pretty reds too

@Professor_Chaos,yeah I saw it in your diaries, but this one is really beautiful, it's so good to see a such weed!!
Professor_Chaos
Professor_Chaoscommented4 years ago
@skyzohpanda, She is gorgeous asf! Ive tried 2 other strains that were supposed to purple like this one.. They only changed at the end like alot of strains already do.. 3rd is a charm, I guess! I'm VERY happy with her!

Professor_Chaos
Professor_Chaoscommented4 years ago
@livetogrowgrowtolive, Thanks growmie!!! She was a little finicky for me... But she did some AMAZING things! Got about 20 days left before I chop.. At least thats what I'm aiming for.. But will go longer if needed.. She should fatten up a bit more.. First time with FastBuds and wow.. They got down with this one! Cant wait to try more of them!

Professor_Chaos
Professor_Chaoscommented4 years ago
@MrHightimes, Thanks! She was a fun plant to grow. In fact, it's kinda depressing when I look in the tent and I don't see all that purple lol. Got a few more of these seeds tho. Definately a strain to grow more than once! The smell.. Just.. Wow is all I can say

@PrairieFrostGrow, Thanks! She smells amazing too! May feed for 1 more week and begin the 2 week flush! I couldn't be happier with her! Just updated this week with some new pics and a video.. And will be beginning next weeks update tomorrow! Thanks for tuning in! She is an amazing girl, that's for sure!

She’s looking really nice, the colours on her are amazing!!! I’m fairly jealous that mines not showing even the slightest hint of purple 😓, saying that Iv never smelt a strain as lemony in my life!
Professor_Chaos
Professor_Chaoscommented4 years ago
@PersonalSmok3s, Thanks growmie! Ibhad a Sweet Seeds strain.. Bloody Skunk.. That was supposed to turn red/purple.. But didnt till later in flower (as most strains already do at the end of flower) but the stems turned very red.. I'm almost for sure its a pheno thing.. If you try that strain again I bet it will.. Purple strains are so pretty!

All of my PL frmo fastbuds turns yellow during transition. No idea what the problem with this genetic is, but could be sulfur. I haven't figured it out though.

@densesensi, Weird.. I had a Berry Ryder from Auto Seeds do fine until transition.. She needed alot of calmag. I guess that transition is just a crucial time for the ladies

More runoff would be my comment as well. Not getting enough runoff will lead to lockout issues. Media will show a rising ppm and pH will drift higher and higher. My experience. Cheers and keep up the dedication Growmie😀
Professor_Chaos
Professor_Chaoscommented4 years ago
@PrairieFrostGrow, Yeah, I'm using 3 Liters once daily.. I get about 1/2 - 2/3 of a Liter in the runoff.. That should be plenty I would think.. General Hydroponics says 5% - 25% runoff. Also says to use just plain water every 1 - 3 waterings.. I just do water, feed, water, feed.. Just to avoid the salts building up.. But even today, I watered with just pH'd water and the runoff is still coming out a bit high.. Not too too high.. But still makes me a little nervous lol I'm not seeing any issues with the lady, so I'm just gonna make sure it doesn't go up higher but still try to bring it down a bit.. Thanks for the comment, growmie!
