They look better. New growth looks great and from what I can she has pulled out of her sickness stage and she is ready to stage giving you nice foilage growth. Keep soil moist just not damp. Nutes look balanced, minus a bit over by looking at her claws on the one plant u might have fed her a little too much on a feeding but that's ok because the tips didn't brown and I don't see nute burn. The little bit of yellow might have happened on those earlier leaves because you waited a long time to feed so she used stored nutes. Aside from that they look 10x better and show that they recovered and on point. Expect double or even triple in size in 15 days from now for sure

Cross your fingers bro, 10 days left on the girl! Trichomes are almost ready and in 2 wks she will be drying :) flushing her good this week; got 4 gals of sugar water prepped and 1 gal of plain water. Soon she will be bulking up more this week because of her flush and next week she should be sucking the rest of her nutes out of her leaves!!!! Very little amber on her but I think after the flush she will be ready. She's on day 60 as of today and honestly I'm unsure how much more I can push her. She hasn't budged with anymore ambers showing lately so I might have to stick with creamy and 10% amber. No biggy though, just want the wife to enjoy it. If I get cold feet I probably won't cut her but I'm hoping for a big change in the next 10 days.

YAY!!! How much sugar water are you going to give her each feed? and how many times? When you say creamy? What color are they in this link???? Milky, or Cloudy??? http://www.google.com/imgres?q=trichomes+stages&um=1&hl=en&tbo=d&biw=1366&bih=643&tbm=isch&tbnid=9eQUnPqNMW4rmM:&imgrefurl=http://www.clear-uk.org/the-importance-of-matured-cannabis/&docid=U5xA6JIIjwUPeM&imgurl=http://clear-uk.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/2940when-to-harvest.jpg&w=500&h=574&ei=_v7_UIt7k4T2BMSVgdgE&zoom=1&iact=hc&vpx=4&vpy=105&dur=663&hovh=241&hovw=209&tx=98&ty=138&sig=107365145238917191913&page=1&tbnh=143&tbnw=124&start=0&ndsp=29&ved=1t:429,r:0,s:0,i:81 I think your 10% amber should go up some. Got my fingers crossed for you, and wifey!!!!!:):) Gave the lagging one, some rapid start (AKA) root stim, the last two feeds, to try and perk her up. Mixed with a 1/4 of grow big this last time for her. Next feed for the lagging one I am going to give her superthrive, and 1/2 grow big. My healthier girl, I have not feed yet, just ph water. I am feeding her next time, with just a 1/4 of big bloom, and I am going to see how she reacts to that. I am following their lead rn. I will increase nutes accordingly by how they handle each feed, then adjust if I need too. At the end of the day, by the time I feed the girls again, they will both be on day 19. P.S. I wanted to wait, because I stressed my girls out at the beginning. Trying to show em some love!!!! :wink: Holla BAcK YO!!! :peace::peace:

They look as milky as the half and half pic then there are some clear ones here and there all around. But for the most part they are mostly over 70% milky for sure. Hard to see with this 30x I can look all day and not make my mind up lol. Definitely very little amber on her though. Gave her 1 tbsp of sugar per gal of water. Diluted in warm tap water then waited for it to cool to room temp and fed it to her. As I setup my drainage bucket below her I found tons of little white bugs. They hopped around a little and came out of the soil. They were springtail bugs. Harmless but annoying. But good news is; it means that I had a good soil medium. Horrible lockout that I had earlier in flowering definitely stunted her bud growth. Hopefully next grow comes out better. I have faith they will blow my wife's mind though. We will decide her fate soon bro! 10 days or longer. I think I'll flush her for all 10 days then give her 5 days of no watering so she goes bone dry right before her 3 day blackout period. Let's hope for the best!

on average, when do you usually have to feed her, or water? every 3 to 5 days? Whether they are milky, clear, or amber, shouldn't you still get indica dom effects, since the purple kush strain is an indica dom? Otherwise, what the fuck is the point in a seed bank saying one strain is indica, or sativa? Does not make any damn sense!:confused::confused::confused::confused::wall::wall::wall: If thats the case, people should just get whatever fucking strain they want. Then look at it with a loupe, until you want the colored trics, you desire, and boom your satisfied. P.S. Let the countdown begin!!!!!! :hump:

Well see the basics about that is that Indica is just more dominant in the effects of CBN as for sativa is more dominant for thc effects. Like the effect of couchlock won't be as effective in a savita plant because sativa has a higher vibration for thc than CBN. U can get like effects but not nearly as effective, if that can make any sense lol. That's how t was explained to me. indicas give a better couchlock than sativas and sativas give a better head high than indicas. It's like having two shirts that say Nike on it but one is real and the other is generic and fake. Just ....not as good ya know?

And yes I feed usually after 2 days or until 2-3 inches of top soil is dry. As far as flushing goes Im doing it ever 2 days dry or not.

So I went into my lovely room where PK is enjoying her last week of nutes and bud enhancement and I turned her to 12/12 lighting for the last week to raise her thc count and trick her into thinking its time to call it quits. As I began to look around at her bud sites and stems I noticed on her right side one of her stems ALMOST gave out because she swelled up double on one of her stems and it was hanging pretty low to the point of no return lol. Luckily that arm didnt snap off or I was going to have week early buds for the wifey. I had to tie a string around the branch and lift her back up. She only got 12 hrs of light today and I am assuming she noticed it quite fast seeing that she swelled up in a matter of 24hrs. Unfortunately most of her stems are skinny because of the nute lockout and the fact I barely gave her any Nitrogen throughout her flowering time. Good thing is her bud growth nearly got twice as big over night and only 1 stem could barely hold up. Another thing I noticed was roughly 10% more of her pistils went orange in color and the lower very bottom small buds also had some orange pistils on them. This is exactly what I was trying to accomplish for this last week in flowering before harvest. All of her flowers/buds have a 80/20 orange pistil ratio besides the ones at the very very very bottom. They are more like 10/90 orange/white ratio. But I believe they will all if not at least get to 50/50 within the next 6 days before harvest.

The ideal pistil ratio I want is a 90/10 ratio via pistils being orange to white. When at least 10% of her pistils are orange all the way around then she is in her opening window of harvest and when it is visa versa at a 90/10 ratio then she is damn near at her end of harvest time frame. From then on if they all go 100% orange then normally a boost of CBN starts to happen everywhere creating more of a heavier couchlock buzz. If I do that then she will be going for at least another week or two and from the readings around forums Purple Kush seems to be excellent at 70 days start to finish. I was also going to do a 72 hr blackout period but I believe I will do a 24 or 36 hr instead. Now that I have her on 12/12 for the last week I dont believe it will help much with a 3 day blackout. The average is 2 days blackout but I read some kush strains show noticable differences on 3 days instead. Anyways Ive changed my mind on the 3 days and im going 1.5 days of blackout instead. She will get her boost of the extra nighttime days this last week. In 6 days I will post some before blackout pictures for you in complete natural room light so you get a wonderful look how she turned out from start to finish (seed to sexy bud sites). After the blackout period I will take another picture of her and hopefully she will show a small change of difference. Again, I am unsure she will seeing that she is getting her extra dark time now, but we will see and you will know from my experience via to help yours when it is your time bawse. Next I will take cuttings and show you my trimming I will do on her and show you my drying box setup so you can also get an idea of what to do during this stage. Second to last, I will show you what I have them in via curing stage and a few pics there to show you how she looked after drying period. Finally, the last stage pictures you have been waiting for, THE FINISHED PRODUCT!!!!, I will toss you that porn also ;) Hope your babies are doing wonderful bro and keep up the good work. Remember every stage is highly important so keep an eagle eye on your ladies and nurture them well throughout their life so they can in return give you what you want.

P.s. > Talk to them it helps a lot more than what you think!

-JuNX out.

Bah, never went out of my way brother. Just enjoy helping others especially the fact that I am just NOW finishing this grow and I have noticed how she works.

  1. She likes no more than 3/4ths nute strength
  2. Likes 24/7 lights the first 14 days of life then 20-4 lighting up untill the last week (currently testing this 12/12 lighting for last week days 63-70 as I believe it will make her finish a bit faster since she will notice the "winter" hours more)
  3. loves fresh air but can handle some stale air if there isn't circulation going all the time
  4. she doesn't attract bad bugs because her smell doesn't come out until probably right before the harvest window (weeks 5-7).
  5. loves very light soil that is fluffy with lots of perlite
  6. Seems to be best at a 70 day harvest + 2 day afterwards blackout (accordingly to multiply people who have grown her)
  7. Can handle at least 1 nute lockout and survive with great results (lol thanks to my fuck up I did and she still pulled through to a nice finishing look so far

Although I will be finishing my wifey's plant for her I will of course still be around to bug you about your grow :) Dont think I wont be jealous if you get a better yeild result than me! :D But I also used some shitty nutes throughout her grow and she still did wonderful. (10-10-10 for veg @ half strength/full last 3 days then horrible booster at the beginning of flower to some 2-6-2 flower nute the last 2 weeks of flowering). I did a horrible job feeding her man and she still took it like a nun makin love to a porn star :P

My guestimation for yeild is 1oz - 1.5 oz
Cola is the size of a freakin 1 liter bottle and/or 64 ounce fountain drink foam cup in both height & circumference. I will measure the cola when I cut her down. Her main one that is. Although I know it is about close to 9 inches long and 4-3 inches wide ish....

I will update you with pics / wet weight / dry weight in the near future, hit me up bro!

Nute burn, or lights are too close??? I am using 250 hps 10" away from plant day 20. Thanks!!!! P.S. I think it is from the light, but I just want to be sure, because I have been feeding her in small amounts. My cycle is feed, water, feed, water, rn about every (3 to 4) days. 20/4 Light cycle, with temps between (74 to 79).

Might be a hot soil medium and even though you are feeding her lightly your soil might have a high amount of nutes in it. Does FFOF have a lot of organic added nutes? I wouldnt think it's a light burn because of how it is on the bottom, and dark
leaves mean you have a high amount of nitrogen. Lower your N if u can or do a water water feed switch rather than water feed water. That should stop the spreading. Keep ur eye on new growth and just see how it does in a week or two. Also it might be if you splashed nutes on that leaf it could have burned it. I've done that before. Is it only on that one out of the rest of your plants? Take that in consideration as you try to find the problem bro.

Yes FFOF has added organic nutes. It is only that one, on that plant. I know I didnt splash any nutes on her. Thanks

I use Distilled water then tap during flush. Don't need to ever ph it since distilled water ph lvl is normally 6.8 from Walmart. Its never been a straight 7.0 and my soil always ph'ed at 6.5-6.7. Plus my tap water is filtered through a PURR filter strain which usually lowers the tap to the same ratio
