This is my 1st grow since 2009, I currently have two Pyramid seeds Auto purples growing. I had planted 5, but 3 didn't germ because I plated them too deep. First sprout emerged on the 11th, the other on the 13th. The older one began showing signs of flowering today at 13 days old.

Strain: Pyramid Seeds Auto Purple

Bank: The Attitude

Grow room : 48 x 48 x 78" tent with carbon filter and inline centrifugal fan

Media: My own mix consisting of: 1.5cf MG organic choice garden soil, 16 dry qt's of perlite, and 8 dry qt's of sphagnum moss. Mixed by hand and then placed into 3 gallon plastic pots.

Lighting : 400w Lumatek ballast , XtraStun lamp with 6" inline fan , 400w Plantmax MH bulb for veg , 400w Hortilux Super HPS for flowering

Nutes: Fox Farm trio + solubles and Botanicare sweet grape

The plants have had nothing but water until today when I fed them a half dose of sweet + the recomended dosage of superthrive. In 3 or 4 days when the soil drys out Ill feed them a 1/2 strength dose of FF Grow Big.

I just took these. Holy hell the older plant grew fast in 4 days! I keep my lamp 10"-12" above my plants and she grew almost 8" in 4 days.

Plants are now 20 and 22 days old. I watered them last night with a full dose of sweet. Unfortunately I noticed some discoloration on the leaves today on the older plant. Ill post them up in the plant problems forum in a few.

Found a pollen sac growing on the lowest branch of my other plant tonight. I removed it as well. Im starting to suspect bad genetics since my plants really haven't been stressed and they both developed male bits on the same place.

On a brighter note the younger plant is showing purple calyxes. Ill post pics tomorrow.

Plants are 29 and 27 days old today. I'm still feeding every other watering, but watering's are now about every 2 days. I'm continuing to check both plants every day for male parts.
Not seeing as much purple as I had hoped. A little on the tops of the stems and a few calyxes, but my tent stays between 70-80 degrees.20131010_091436.jpg20131010_091445.jpg20131010_091452.jpg20131010_091500.jpg20131010_091506.jpg

Plants are 32 and 30 days old. Been feeding them tiger bloom and beastie blooms every other watering and sweet + open sesame on the other watering days.

The little runt on the left has now gotten taller then her sister but is no where near as bulky. I hope she really packs on some buds since shes showing purple calyxes.

Sorry the up close pics to show the purple color are a little out of focus.

I went to turn on the AC and check the lady's like I do every morning when I noticed some obvious nute burn on both plants as well as signs of deficiency's.
I guess I got a little over zealous with my feeding and it 'burned' me, or more to the point it burned my girls. I had begun sneaking in open sesame along with the sweet on the non feeding days.
Both girls are sitting in the shower draining after being flushed with 2 gallons of water each. I'm gonna let them drain for an hour before I put them back into the tent.
If all goes well Ill give them water w/ sweet and a 1/8 tsp of SuperThrive in 48 hours, then 1/2 str Tiger Bloom in another 3 or 4 days. After that Ill slowly re-introduce the solubles, but ONLY on feeding days.

So far the plants have responded well to the flush, no new signs of nute burn. Hopefully I caught it in time and I wont get any necrotic spots.

Heres a little plant porn to hold everyone over until my next real update:

I fed them for the first time since the flush, 2 tsp tigerbloom and 1/4 tsp open sesame + 10ml sweet. If I dont see any burn ill go back to 3 tsp TigerBloom and half a tsp beastie blooms next feeding.

Plants are doing good, 37 and 39 days old today. The non purple pheno is really packing on some bud mass. The purple pheno now has purple extending from the calyxes to the sugar leafs. Unfortunately the purple still has wispy, thin buds and is a lot more sensitive to nute burn.
