Other Side of the Fence...Where the Grass is Always Greener

You get a slow release trickle....what a convenience. I asked about nitro because of the deep almost blueish color, and high N can affect P availability which also causes purpling.
Purple has been there since seedling and is strain specific. When you feed by 30-day cooked organic soil, you don't have the same toxicity issues that you get with scheduled feedings from a bottle. Any tip burn will be environmental from these babies. I expect a gradual lightening of the chlorophyll as I get into the final stages and the soil gets depleted. I will be top dressing with 60 day organic soil over the coming weeks.

The micro web does all the work. The hardest part about growing this way is doing nothing. It takes discipline not to add bloom foods, big bud bottles, and other stuff that could throw my soil out of whack.

Soil 6.7 PH was measured once (last week) in the last 112 days. Water is from tap stored in 5 gal plastic jugs until used and then refilled. I alternate between two jugs that last about a week between refills.

Morning dudes. WW Day 62 total.
Nice to wake up to buds like that, isn't it Pin?

I am a student of the purple and how to induce it and what it can tell you about a plant because sometimes a level of brutality is needed to turn it.

Stew had a really pretty purp hermie posted last week, I think? I have one plant that's showing heavy purples, bag seed. One is much lighter green than the rest. I let the plants do what they are going to do, seems to be less problematic than trying to correct every little thing that presents itself. Weed is pretty resilient by nature, we often forget that.

My only goal is to keep the plants producing pistils as long as I can before my trichs start turning amber. What they look like, I really don't care either way.



When I read Prosp's posts, I hear them in a proper English accent. I think that's because of his good grammar, though.
Accent... :eyesmoke: Medicated at best.

I envy that....I tend to get bored so I take on all sorts of tangential distractions. Still my best yield ever was a tent that was neglected due to a major health problem and a move. Go figure....less is more sometimes.

are you giving it a lot of nitrogen?
LOL, this is what happened to my Jack The Ripper...
Forgot that my BioMarine had N in it and a combination of that and my bloom nutes gave me what I have now, excessive N.
But since these are bottled nutes, I should be able to get away with a good flush, and not using BioMarine throughout flowering anymore. The molasses alone should be food enough for the microbes.

Thanks for making me take another look at my jtr photos, Burger. I think you just saved the yield of my plant. REP.

Note the purple petioles.


Knowing that and knowing that temps have not changed helps me know for sure it was excess N.
Surprised at myself for not noticing that coupled with the dark leaves.
Too much dabbing lately, I swear.
LOL.

Look hot on N to me. Probably cold on the P. I hope it makes a real difference for you man. I like to use fulvic acid after flushing....makes them eat faster. Go get em tiger.

I feel it's the lack of P uptake based on too much N.

Hell, these plants get top dressed with High-P guano mid-way through flowering.

Ohhh fulvic, thanks man.
Hope your day is going well.

Edit: Wierd...I just happen to have some in my little tub of sample shtuff.

Appreciate the heads up Burger. Lot of growers on here specialize in certain areas and it furthers our knowledge as a group. I will keep an eye on that plant and let you know if I see any growth issues. First time using this soil, so it's kind of hit and miss.

My domain is Coco but recently inherited an ebb and flow table under the assumption I would be taught how to really dial it in by him. I got left in the dark on day 2. If you know a good ebb and flow specialist I could us one.

Couple Green Crack and Bubba Kush pics.
Oh man I had some Green Crack clones, looked exactly like those, but I didn't get more clones before I flowered them. Great plants to grow, super rock hard dense buds, like rocks in the jar when they're all done curing. Great strain. It's what I'm medicating with right now actually :-)

Out of my area of expertise. I thinking snacking and Scotch are my areas, got you covered there. Let's see if any followers can point you to a Ebb & Flow grower.



Black Creek Gardens Spyder auto. Plumping up... very purple. and seeds look like they will be HUGE compared to what i popped. lol :)
Nice update Stew. How's your solo cup contest going? Are you ahead of the pack?

Thumbs up...Welcome to the thread. What's your setup look like Buzz?
