BW's Purple Power-grow

[Hick]

OK, you.ve stated something about "5 fingered leaves" a few times now, What does the number of fingers have to do with anything?..

Plants are at "sexual maturity" and ready to sex "when alternating nodes are exhibited, or preflowers". The number of fingers or number of leaves, for that matter have nothing to do with maturity...Nothing.
If you're talking about cutting the light as soon as the "true leaves" emerge, "IMHO" that is a flawed tactic. Undue stress at a crucial point in a babies life, which in turn, can cause hermies. And result in false determination of sex. IMO, they should be allowed at least a few weeks of vegging. What's the big rush?...
I've had strains that grew months with only 3-5 fingers and others that had as high as 13 fingers per leaf.

the big rush is that my dad is allready getting suspicious that i'm growing weed again in his home, so they need to move outside as quickly as possible.

Well, that would prolly have a fire under my ass, too...

 

[brainwreck]

i moved my plants outside today, from now on they grow guerilla-style , my dad started naging about the light burn all the time (18 hours a day), so didn't want to get any more naging on my head and moved them outside, now i don't hear him complain anymore . Well, no presexing. Will remove the males on time when i notice they're staring to flower. So, for the moment, 6 Purple Power outside

went bak this evening to my guerilla-field, and guess what, i can't remember where i planted number 6 :s, oh well, it will grow and i will see it within a couple of weeks , the rest of the plants are doing very well, nr 3 seems to be the strongest one, so i hope that one is a female for sure.

Hi brainwreckJust found this site and yours are the first journals I found, and since there are five of them, I had to check and post.

Looking great!
All the best,
Mari_Jane

p.s. had to sign up if I could get this handle.

The plants are looking good. Do they get enough light? What about pests and insects?

 

[brainwreck]

thx MJ and Joey, they get plenty of light, some of them are standing more in the shadow of trees, but they are doing just fine. I threated them with a total threatment against bugs and diseases, so till now, no problems . MJ, normally it were 6 of them but i forgot where i planted nr 6 :s

[brainwreck]

odays update, the are doing great, but i lost 1 again because of the heavy rainfalls last days, so that makes the number of pp to 4

greetz

 

[brainwreck]

only 3 pp's left , lost some again, i checked my field today and the nettles that were growing overthere were all laying down, could find my plants anymore, had to search for a hour to find them and still came to the conclusion i lost a whole bunch of my plants again, so will have to germinate seeds again, to plant them with the rest of my plants. they have a nice height, but aren't bushy, need to fertilize them as quick as possible.

Hey BW

Do they get enough sunshine? We have had some really weeks with good weather. My plants are going awesome I must say. I planted them two weeks ago in the ground and are really growing good now.

I will post some pics tomorrow. I have even already removed some males, a few plants were developing male balls. I have a small male plant still on my balcony and will take a pic of that one too. Maybe I keep this one to polinate a few female plants, so I can enjoy some more seeds next season.
