Purple Kush and Pineapple Bagseed

[aeroman]

How's it going. I'm more into aeroponics then dirt, but I've grown alot of mothers in dirt because I like to start from seed and know how old my mother is and all that. Not knowing more and being there for the whole process I'm really just guessing, but looking at the burnt leaf tips and the way they are curled up and dying at the base, I would say you have a nute deficiency. Maybe calcium, but I don't use any of the nutes you use so I don't know what's in them and they're relative strength. That brown at the base could be a fungus also. Just some info to help increase your yield.

I started flowering a week ago from today and the babies have shot up. I nuted with the Tiger Bloom and Big Bloom on Wednesday and they look greener and healthier than ever. Unfortunately I have found 2 herms and the other 6 (both kush) have pistol growth and white hairs. Temps have been running between 60 and 73 degrees F. I am currently running 400 HPS and 400 MH because the new bulb I purchased burned out the first day. A new one should be arriving shortly I'll update next water with individuals pictures of each plant.

Today was a great day for cannabis. The other HPS bulb came today and now the closet glows bright and orange. I will update tomorrow after I water.

wow ya there looking good!! from my little experience with dirt i would say you really dont need much of the nutrients i would mix a gallon with a very small amount of nuts and use that gallon on one plant will last you about 4-6 waterings per one plant ....... but right now keep doing what your doing!!

 

[jayc283]

quick questions what type of soil are you using didnt see it anywhere??

 

[rippinthewidow]

I'm using Fox Farm's: Ocean Forest Potting Soil mixed with one coco fiber brick per bag. I've heard that Fox Farm's is a denser soil making it tougher for roots to expand threw, so I've added the coco brick which also allows good air circulation for healthy root development.

i take it u figured out how to cool your room closet??

 

[rippinthewidow]

Yes because of cooler temps outside and I installed an outtake system. The room has significantly dropped to a constant between 60 and 75 degrees F.

I watered yesterday and the plants are in their third day of 800W's of HPS and 10 days into flowering. I think I vegged somewhere around 7 weeks. I took multiple pictures of each plant to give you an idea of where they are at...enjoy!

Where did you get your purple kush seeds?

 

[rippinthewidow]

I got them from a buddy who bought what he was told was Purple Kush. Also, I am looking into buying seeds and was wondering if bcseeds.com was a legitimate source.

 

[rippinthewidow]

So as of today I am two weeks into flowering and the babies have shown a dramatic increase in bud production the past few days. I only took a few pictures this time to give you an idea how fast buds are producing. I've decided to stop the stress training because the side nodes have finally reached the same height as the main colas. I water tomorrow with nutes so I will update again in a couple days.

[rippinthewidow]

The plants have really started to build some height and the bud is producing at an alarming rate. Everyday each node site and main cola fill out a little more. Here a bunch of pictures of each plant and some of their nodes and/or colas.

 

[rippinthewidow]

I'm getting real close to halfway point into flowering, and three of the colas have really filled out. :banana: The largest sativa (Big Giant) and the two purple kush have all extremely large side nodes for this early stage into the flowering period. :holysheep: I'm assuming that LST'ing has some affect on the node to cola size ratio. I nute again in a couple days so I'll try to get some pics up before the holiday. Enjoy these pics as i enjoy this :ccc:

I hate to tell ya bud. If you got PK seeds its most likely a F1 cross. Or a hermie.
Just like Purple Erkle:its been clone only since the early 90's. I went on a hunt for them since it was my favorite smoke.
I got lucky. And got seeds from an Erkle/ak 47. Maybe you got a good cross 2.
Anyways it looks like a good grow. Best of luck to you.

 

[rippinthewidow]

Yeah i have read that before but i can't really complain because the seeds were free and they have produced beautiful buds...can't wait to see if they actually turn purple

 

[rippinthewidow]

Can't really chat today...gotta head back home for Christmas :grinch: Here are a few pics of various buds, colas, and plants. Hope you all have a Merry Christmas and I'll try to get up more pics before the New Year

 

[rippinthewidow]

As of today, I am starting the 6th week of flowering. Some of the leaves have turned a little yellow due to an increase in the temp outside :hairpull:,so hopefully they will lower again. Some of the fan leaves have gotten so big that they are taking the light away from emerging nodes below. Does anyone know if it is okay to periodically cut leaves, with sterilized scissors, to help get light to the undergrowth? Please give me some insight :yeahthat:. Pics will be up tomorrow after I nute.

 

[UKgirl420]

well the other pics of your ladies look fantastic :48:

can u not just tuck the fans leaves away ,,,eace:


ps are the leaves not turning yellow cause all their goodness is being used up ,,esp in 6 weeks of flower
