Three weeks in on the cure. 63%Rh. Fruity smell becoming more dominant now. This is a fun strain. Looks cool, smells cool and I like the buzz a lot.

Curious how you find the smoke, Beans. I'm starting another round of SuperSoil this weekend another round of PB and Purple Diesel

One more thing, my good man Beansly. Are you doing any cool night treatments the last two weeks out?

I'm really curious as to the smoke too! lol
I've heard mixed reviews. I've heard one person say they got a really potent pheno, but I'm more apt to believe the many more people I've heard say it's not real strong. I usually take that with a grain pf salt anyways because everyone growroom is different and everyone's body chemistry is different. What's nothing to you might be the holy grail to me. I'd like to make money doing this but I wanna grow at least one stain specifically for my needs too.
As for cold weather, I let my room get down to around 65-66 degrees F. It seems to be enough to get them to go purple.

That's where my basement temps stay, so that becomes the night time temp throughout the whole grow, not just the end of flower. Also, after the 3 weeks they are not as noticeably purple.

i heard you can turn plants purple by puting a few ice cubes on top of the soil.. im gonna try it this time if i remember
just freeze some of your water that you give them and put it on the top of the soil and let the cold water slowly melt into the soil but not a complete watering with ice cube im gonna try doing it a few days before harvest first day with like 2 or 3 ice cubes then increase if no purple

I did that treatment for a SSH I just cut down. Didn't do it for the PB

I'm pretty sure one of my plants is a purple pheno. It started turning as soon as I started flower.

Curious if people see the purple remain after weeks of cure or if the pigment fades with cure time. Obviously this does not affect the smoke, but it's fun to see the purple.

it less vibrant as on the living plant but it doesn't go anywhere. I ended up with 3 color phenos out of 4 females out of a 5 pack of beans.

progress in 1 week looks pretty good. The clones barely did anything in 5 days but they are growing. 100% success with these ones. I soaked rockwool in a gallon of RO water with half of a lemon squeezed into it. Then used a heat mat and a humidity dome with the vents slightly open for first 2 days then all the way open for the other 4. In 6 days they had small roots forming. I know this cause once the leaves start to turn yellow I break the rockwool off slowly and transplant them into soil because they grow better directly in soil. I would use an ez cloner but dont want to make one. The reason I dont start them in soil is because only like 10% of them rooted that way, dont ask me why.You could just leave them in rockwool, but for some reason I dont like looking at my stalk inside rockwool, it looks better in plain soil like the pic.Also in my experience smaller clones from this strain dont have enough energy to root that much and any clones with more foliage than what you see in the pic got droopy after like 1 hr so you should aim for medium sized clones if you clone it. If you are having trouble with cloning this strain(for me it was kinda hardish) just do it my way with the lemon juice and heat mat.It took me less than 2 weeks to get clones that were basically small plants with lots of roots.

Haven't posted in a while but I thought I would.
My last plushberries did really well. 1 changed color, 1 didn't. Didn't do any fancy temp swings or anything. My setup is pretty basic. Dynagrow nutes in 5 gallon DWC buckets.
Here's the pretty girl chopped up. I'm trying to reveg the rest of her:

 

[shagratt]

Thanks maddog! I got a few tips;
from what I've seen she's an NPK hungry beast. She'll go N def at the end of veg, and P def early in flower if you don't supplement the nutes. Lots of N in veg and lots of PK in flower. I use organic nutes and it's not enough. I've had to add chicken litter, bat guano and bone meal at different times throughout.
Calcium and Magnesium might as well be base nutrients with this plant too. Start using cal/mag about the middle of veg.



I group them based on physical and growth characteristics I guess lol. I usually have a hard time distinguishing phenos but these two are so different it wasn't to difficult. The difference between the two I got is the bud development and color (one's a purple pheno). Bushy v. doesn't bush (one doesn't take well to topping and the other lovers it). One stayed short and bushy and the other is almost twice as tall even though I topped them both. Basically it looks like one is more a sativa looking, and the other is indica leaning it looks like.

I agree 100%. Remember when I was like "WEAK STRAIN"? Yeah... its the complete opposite. It eats everything up really fast, and spreads its roots really fast too. I suggest using a tiny bit of cal-mag early with this strain.I dont feed my plants anything untill the whole pot has roots because I think it helps the root system develop faster if it needs to search for food.As soon as you see slight deficiencys give a full blast of nutrients with correct ph and they will probably eat it up within a weak.Next grow im going to start feeding earlier. But I do recomend using a tiny bit of cal mag early on because even my clones in fresh soil need it.. Also, I recomend you transplant into a larger pot early on because it grows so fast in the later stages that transplanting when its larger will stunt it, and it eats alot of food during flowering because the fan leaves continue to get larger and larger during flowering unlike most strains. Basically, just let the plant get alot of roots while its young because it needs them later on!

 

[DaGrapeApe]

I did not find mine (3 of them so far) to be a heavy feeding strain at all. In fact when I went over 800 ppm in flower the leaves got slightly burned.

 

[ryanme123]

Grrr so is plush strong? Mixed info's got ten in atm! Well the colour pheno?

 

[hellraizer30]

From what i know it depends on the pheno as to how strong it is!

 

[shagratt]

yea i agree, but i also think veg time probly plays a big role too. Seems when i flower plants early they dont need any food at all. if you read some nute bottles, it will say "large container plants feed 2tbsp" when 1tbps is normal. I dont have a PPM meter : ( but im getting one soon lol. Im gonna use one on my next grow. Also the other reason my plants might want more food is because they are in halfway used soil :/. I was just gonna keep them as mothers bud decided to bud them instead because they were growing to fast for the veg room.

What's word on taste?

 

[shagratt]

What's word on taste?

Well, i didnt even cure any of my buds and they already smell and taste like rasberry lemon. It tastes like candy flavored medicine, thats the only way I can explain it. It tastes fruity and good like a candy but not sugary. I smoked the keif from the buds I trimmed on top and it tasted sooo good. The high is a pretty good mostly sativa high. Feels euphoric, a tiny bit trippy and it gives you a good anxious feeling. Not like you are afraid you might pass out, but like your in a casino gambling for your rent money and winning.And you can smoke quite a bit of it without feeling burned out, its also a light smoke on the lungs.

 

[ryanme123]

Yeh sounds delicious bro!

Here's my 12/12 Plushberry. Grown in FFOF/Happy Frog Soil. Nothing else added so far but water. Definitely one of the biggest plants in the room, so I can attest that they do well under 12/12. I just can't believe how frosty it is already at only a couple weeks flowering. I'm pretty stoked to say the least!

Just thought I'd throw in a quick update. Here she is around 50 or so days. I plan on chopping her this weekend. As you can see, I took a couple lower branches as samplers. After 7 days drying and no cure, they smoked wonderfully! The taste is so amazing even with no cure. Very fruity with that classic musky smell. Ash went completely white and the high was very nice. Made me feel relaxed but motivated. Definitely got me going for a while. Can't wait to chop her down and give a proper cure. Definitely a wonderful smelling and tasting plant.

I grew this out 12/12 from seed in a 2qt pot of FFOF/Happy Frog. Only fed once during early flowering. Otherwise it was straight H2O the whole way. Won't have more than 10g of it though, I'm guessing.

Looks like you'll bet more than 10g from that. Looks like you got good production out of it. What nutes are you running and what's your feed schedule like? And additives?
