Might not be a purple pheno temps that low are not good just let nature take its course if it's meant to be it'll be your only stunting growth

Stink lol yea I don't think I'll drop temps next run.incredible bulk is nice and purplish.anyone tryd the 3days of darkness?
 
I do 3 days no light and pull off all fan leaves, a little everyday while dark. But I do harvest a week after all the white hairs turn and start to pull in. I get about 50%clear and cloudy and 50%amber

Haha no haha!!

think i should have washed the hydroton more because wen i mix everything before i do a res change its perfect but wen i pour it in the ph rises quick ill keep doing res changes n with more and more nutes it should stay in a good range.

Also my first time using coco starter pellets instead of rockwool i defo prefer rockwool n will get some for next time, coco is too messy

Plus lights were on 24/7 which probably kept temps too high for too long anyway new growth its looking better so we will see...

seems then your problem is the hydroton, personally I would pour a lot of water over the roots.at ph5.5 empty the res out rinse and repeat till its steady. or ur going to chase your tail the rest of the grow and increase the risk of Hermies and have a pathetic yield.
Your call all the same.

Day 4 flower
Res changed around 700ppm ph no idea dont trust my pen but it should be ok as you can see in the bottom of the res there is alot of hydroton dust i did wash it through until water was running clear but that obviously wasnt enough!
Anyway i put the net in aswell while i had the chance but training this might be hard as its such a densely packed plant

Im using 3500k cob leds and a hans panel as my lights i think its probably not the right spectrum for explosive growth hid's are still best but i can control the heat from cobs, plus i messed up at the start but i think its my leds keeping things short. On my last grow it exploded from here but this is an indica strain so n im not sure ill even fill the screen.

Different strains have different pheno types so every seed will grow differently the only way to give consistant grows is to find a good grower and keep as a mother. If i had a few seeds i doubt this one wud have made it.

scrog every grow - more buds for almost no extra work.

So i decided to chop the girls yesterday and the I saved the gdp till last.trimming away and found nanas on a few branches on the lower buds.they came out of the calexs.a few seeds in the buds that had the nanas on them.hopeing like hell that my whole crop ain't filled with them.its the 7th fem seed from herbies that has done this to me.3rd gdp that's down it.caught it early in all the others but this1 snuck in.anyways goodluck mossy and I'll b keeping watch on that plant.keep up the good work.

Day 8
Ppm is around 320 so shes taking up nearly 100ppm a day ive topped up with water approx 5 ltrs which is nearly a full res so ill do a res change this weekend n maybe push it to 800. The main stem does not like to bend its pretty thick n strong. The net is half full which is great im hoping by around day 14 itll be full n i can let her go.
