•••••••••••••••••••••••••• Sept. 26 - Oct. 2 Week 8 of 12/12 •••••••••••••••••••••••••• WEEKLY SUMMARY: •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• 🙋‍♀️Fo' Twenny here!🙋‍♀️ We're back with another update on our 👴🏽💜 GRANDADDY PURPLE cultivar bred by BLIMBURN SEEDS! It's week 8 and all she is looking great as she progresses deeper into senescence; however, she is still a bit greener than either of her tent mates! She just seems to get frostier ❄️ by the day and her fragrance smells a bit sweeter than last time I ran her. I love her colors, the pink and yellow contrast is just beautiful! I keep checking trichomes, but still not a lot of amber. Maybe another week or more. Also, I realized my BlueLab Conductivity Meter has the option to switch to EC. Since EC is the most accurate way to measure the nutrient concentration in a solution, I will now be measuring and reporting EC readings rather than PPM. Any advice, suggestions, or constructive criticisms are always welcome. Now, for the weekly break down! •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• THIS WEEK'S BREAK DOWN •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• 9/26 - Day 50 of Bloom °°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°° - Upgraded from 8k BTU to 14k BTU portable AC unit! - Light selective defoliation. 🌿 🚿FEED DAY!🚿 - She received approximately 2.5 gallons of nutrient solution. I mixed 8 gallons of solution for all the plants I have in flower. 2.5 gallons of that was then measured and fed to this cultivar. After 10-15 minutes I added additional 12 oz of plain H2O pH to 6.3 👩‍🔬NUTRIENT SOLUTION👩‍🔬 ⬇️Mixing Rundown⬇️ - The solution starts with 12 gal tap H2O through two kdf filters mixed in a 36 gallon reservoir. The solution is applied via wand sprayer powered by a submersible pump attached to a garden hose. Nutrients and additives are added to the reservoir in the order listed below and thoroughly mixed using a plastic stir spoon. The reservoir is oxygenated by four 4 inch air stones.

🍀16/06 - Empieza su tercera semana en etapa de floración. 🍀Desde la semana pasada que sigue midiendo lo mismo de altura, empezó la etapa centrarse en cogollar. 🍀Se encuentra perfecta sin ningún problema. Cada vez se pueden ver más los cocos. 🍀Cada dos días requiere 1.5L de agua con un ph de 6.3. 🍀En estos dias subiré más imágenes de como viene. 🍀😶‍🌫️🇦🇷Podes seguirme en Insta gram como @bruweed_arg 🇦🇷😶‍🌫️🍀

send nutes plz. turned out that im a big noob. shouldve put more nutes in my 50/50 coco soil mix. now i have to wait few more days till its dry. all in all plants look kinda fine day 24 - switching from MH250w to HPS250w day 27 new growth shows white tips

Yesterday some recharge because she was dry, today some calmag and some gaiagreen bloom

War nicht viel los. Die Crit stand im Dunkeln und der Topf war furztrocken.

Another first timer strain and luckily this one has passed the germination week from white label seeds...it was a sunny week which propelled the enhanced growth...looking forward to crossing her with some Skunk #1 pollen. OG SKUNK Loading.

This week has been good, no surprises the pistols are really starting to show in the Zkittles and the Cheese is next is going to be next. The Lemon pie is a little bit behind in this round but I have another that’s 2 weeks younger and twice the height. Did some defoliantion a day or two ago everything seems to be happy

The girls survived. Always the biggest stress in the beginning. Getting sprayed with water twice a day. Gonna do the first watering soon. Hoping for growth!

Great week of growth, been doing a lot of LST. Spreading her out and tying it down! Roots are really growing. Pinching leaves as they get too big and block light.

Beautiful pair of haze berries, both phenos #1 and #2 showing strong healthy roots and big leafs, can't wait to flower this ladies out, I Transplanted the plants after 17 days of being planted on February 2nd because the roots were super well developed and I considered that it was the right time to do so. So now they are in their new 11l house.

It is so very hot now every day here. All my girls are suffering from the heat and they need to be watered very frequently. I avoid drying them out completely. Plant 1 is doing well but I actually prefer how the mainlined plant grows. It is getting fatter and longer colas. We start to get some nice smells from the plants.

Going to harvest this week

They were eating and growing at a fast rate. I had to Increase the water almost 50%. Happy growing

(EN) The plants are in a wooden planter to protect them from strong winds (they remain in their 3.6L pots for now). Watering with clear water on day 21. Some plants have slightly tipped but nothing serious. Meteorological change from day 23, with a drop in temperature and rainy, cloudy and windy weather (but this does not prevent the plants from growing, on the contrary). Watering with root fertilizer at 1mL/L and growth fertilizer at 1mL/L on day 25. (CAN) Les plants sont dans une jardinière en bois afin de les protéger des vents violents (ils restent pour l’instant dans leur pots de 3,6L). Arrosage à l’eau clair le jour 21. Quelques plants ont légèrement tigé mais rien de grave. Changement météorologique a partir du jour 23, avec une baisse de température et un temps pluvieux, nuageux et venteux (mais cela n’empêche pas les plants de croître, au contraire). Arrosage avec l’engrais racinaire à 1mL/L et l’engrais de croissance a 1mL/L le jour 25.

Day 36 (30/06/19) she’s in the wild doing really well. Taking off nicely, and can’t wait to see how she does and how she takes to the outdoor space. All organic nutrients thanks to royal queen seeds! Will be back with an update soon. Thanks for following. Stay tuned

Added a little molasses to water. Some heat issues but nothing crazy.
