Thanks for the journal! They look tasty!

How long did you veg those ladies for? They turned out great.

Thank you! Unless there is some poor planning on my part, I like to veg for about 3-4 weeks. I clone into rapid rooters, transplant to dirt cups when roots appear, then transplant to 6 inch rockwool cubes when they're root bound. They take about 1 week to get established then just take off once in their vegging hydro gutters.

Are you doing another grow? If so, are you gonna do a journal again?..... Man, I sure hope so!

Yeah, I'm currently testing DynaGro and GH, link found in my signature. DynaGro is proving to be super easy to use while GH may be providing those essentials to produce 'show case' bud. Too early to call though.

Hey man, that's some seriously sweet looking bud. Congrats!
+Rep for the nice grow and journal too. Thanks for the info you've provided in here.

nice growing man, here for the ride. I may be late but better than never. Keep up the superb work bruh

Nice grow for sure. In the interest in sharing your knowledge, is there anyway you can do some kind of summary in terms of nutrient schedules and perhaps PPM totals? Its nice to hear people say "I cut this back a little" and I "added a little more of this" but it doesn't give a whole lot of guidance to use jedi's in training

Thanks guys. Legallyfly, pm sent.

That is just some beautiful bud Homebrewer. I really love the color on those (and that's pretty well done with all those grams ;O)) ) - haven't got close to that with my Jack Herer phenos ;O)).
I will be trying Querkle in some time - think it's supposed to be a lot like yours? - haven't tried that strain before and will actually be the first time i'll be trying and indica growth pattern type of plants - always just kept Sativa phenos and didn't give Indica a chance...yet. Now i'm tired of tying up plants and want some more mellow weed compared to the very Up high i have now - not that good for sleeping and relaxing so can't wait to try it out.
Anyway - congrats with that beautiful grow that you are propably pretty happy about too ;O))

Some of the final pics of the upper buds show yellowing from the nute burn and light bleaching. I prefer to keep plants green to the end as shown in my DynaGro journal but sometimes I push too hard and the plants show it. It also didn't help that I wasn't using a TDS meter and towards the end, my ppms were probably 400 too high. At the end of the day, I got some good yields from my favorite strain and took good notes so I can always be tweaking for future grows.

regardless its looks great...2 thumbs up!

i awlays find the bad ass journals late as fuck!, skimd threw and read what my stoned ass could , great grow man, i see you almost hit your goal for a G per watt...i usually end up under 1/2GPW..this time im goin for atleast .75... anyways bad ass grow bro peace!

Very nice homebrewer thats not a bad yield there at all.
I like the 1 gram per watt ratio but does that apply to all strains?
You sound like you know your plants well as not many people have talked about the smell of the buds regarding nutes so i guess you've been in this for awhile, i could do with some of your knowledge on my nute schedule that im currently using ,plus i have some nutes claiming to be specific to Stavisa & indicas but i cant find much info about.
I have'nt seen any purps in my parts for 5-10yrs ,uks a funny like that(dont think it purps sells well) but that looks tasty and not even to purple!
my info's in the sig below ,the last page im sure(nutes/schedule).
thanks again..

HB, i use those same DIY tubs from Lowes. Do you have drainage problems at all? I use a layer of hydroton to help that but am interested in what you do.

I have 2-3 small holes drilled in the flood table to help the table drain into the res below.

Nice grow HB. was searching purple urkle on google and came out with your journal grow. Made an account to meet some nice growers in the MMJ community. Keep up the good work mate.. =) Will be reading your other posts..

I'm doing a Purple Urkle from clone grow, and two different phenotypes grew out. One looks sativa-esque like yours does, while the other looks more like a typical short, bushy indica. They smell almost the same. The sativa one grew at least 2x as tall. Yours yielded far more than mine. I agree on liquid koolbloom and florabloom issue. I use the lucas formula, at rates of 30ml Micro 60Ml Bloom and 30ML liquid koolbloom for 3 gallon DWC, with plants six feet tall, and exact same formula for plants four feet or less but in five gallon buckets. I base my concentration on the plant size. My plants have fully loaded leaf tips. I probably way overfeed. I aim for around 1000-1400ppm depending on plant age and size.

Excellent grow journal, thanks for sharing!

Excellent manicure job on those buds! I want to try that strain once I get my bagseed grow done first.
