TCH - Cinderella Purple testers - Brothers Grimm

Your plants look good!
I've started the some Cinderella Purples recently, they look remarkably similar to yours at the same stage; that's encouraging.

I would be hesitant to add more CalMag as your plants show no symptoms of a Ca issue.

Thank you. Yeah, I bumped it for the N value. I'll see if it makes any difference in the next couple days. If not, or if it causes problems, I'll drop it back down next topoff. I realize it isn't the ideal move, but that's what I get for thinkin on the fly. Lol

Do you have a grow journal going at all? I'd love to follow along.

I'm not sure what type of CalMag you're using, but GH CalMagic only provides 2.6 ppm Nitrogen per ml; not the best choice if your goal is added Nitrogen. Your change from 15 to 30ml only changed your Nitrogen by ~ 3 ppm, essentially a rounding error.

Sometimes a picture is worth a few dozen words:

Your nutes in elemental ppm, before and after doubling Calmag (assuming GH Calmagic).
*Ignore the silicon, I substituted Potassium Silicate for your pH-UP for the K contribution.



I've used a mix of Maxi Gro and Maxi Bloom with good results.
Many here espouse the virtues of Maxi Bloom start to finish but I've found it's lacking in N and more P than necessary.

I use botanicare calmag. At least for the next week or two. It's about empty. May swap out to the gh or something different if there's a better option when thats gone. The ph up is just the blue stuff from gh.

I did see a pH UP bottle in one of your posts, but I don't have Potassium Carbonate in my spreadsheet.
Nothing wrong with Botanicare CalMag, I buy the GH brand simply because it's got ~50% more "CalMag" per bottle.

Day 54

Still having leaves yellow and burn more often than they should be. Took some advice, mixed up a gallon of nutes and flushed one of the plants to check runoff ppm and pH. It was about 2.3-2.5x higher than what went in. So, I mixed up 4 more gallons and flushed all the plants. A couple were worse than the others but all were high. I flushed them all out to the best of my ability this evening and filled the reservoir. I will see how they respond over the next couple days and possibly flush again over the weekend. I also went ahead and snipped one of the buds off the plant, trimmed it, and tossed it in the Koolatron to sample it as an early harvest, for science.

10 gallons
15mL calmag
30g Maxibloom
9mL pH up

500ppm
6.0-6.1pH

There is a pheno that leans to slightly wider leaves that is so covered in trykes on rounder buds that looks quite radical, lots of fruit smells. Gonna load a sample in an Arizer about now.

Day 59

I finally noticed a difference between the 2 plants. #2 seems to be finishing a bit ahead of #1. Almost all the hairs are red and it looks like some are even starting to recede. #1 still has mostly white hairs and looks like it is starting to foxtail just a little bit. Not sure if that's a big difference, but its definitely a difference. We will see how they finish out the next week or two.

#1


#2

Chopped my first 3 at 61 days, a couple started to foxtail also
Rey powerful stuff

Day 61
Not yet, but getting closer.

#1


#2

Rosetta 78 is the only other Brothers Grimm I’ve raised, also great. Rosetta 78 is in my Starry 3 rockin this hill.

I might have missed it, but what light you running?

It is a Phlizon FD6000-O. 640w bar light.

Day 61

Topped off reservoir.

11 gallons
30g Maxibloom
9mL pH up
430ppm
6.1pH

It's nice to watch the progress.
I'm growing some CinPurp as well, 58 days behind you.
The buds definitely have the C99 look; I've grown the Bros. Grimm C99 a few times before; probably my personal favorite of anything I've grown.
~80% of what I've grown has come from Bros. Grimm, so the CinPurp seemed a logical choice when I stumbled across them. (Price was right as well!)
The C99 I've grown was ~70 days according to my notes, I'm curious how the CinPurp compares.

That's great to hear. So far,my only real experience is with HSC. I'm super pumped about these 2 plants. Can not wait for smoke reports.

As far as time goes, #2 will almost definitely be getting cut by day 70. #1 looks to be a week or so behind #2. She had some hairs start turning red today though so I don't think she'll be as far behind as I originally thought.

Day 64
Took the tops and bigger branches down on #2 this morning. Trimmed up pretty nice. Left the bottoms on the plant to give em a little more time.

Day 67
Had a runaway carrot, drained res. Mixed up a fresh 11 gallons.

11 gallons RO water
30g Maxibloom
9mL pH up

420ppm
6.25 pH

Cinderella Purple in the Starry 3 this morning. It’s all good.

Day 71

Took the rest of #2 down this morning. Trimmed and put it in the Koolatron. Set it at 70% with 1.5% swing. Seemed to be keeping up pretty well into the afternoon. If it is still doing well when I get home tonight, I'll drop it a couple percent. There were a handful of pretty purple buds so I may have accidentally taken a branch or two of the blueberry cupcake behind it. I couldn't find any obviously cut branches though. Oh well. No biggie. I jarred up the tops that I chopped last week and they were holding at 61-62% in the jar today. Just the tops weighed in at just a tick over 3 zips. I think there will be another 2 zips or so from the bottoms once they are dried.

Day 74

Saw a couple tiny nanners on CP #1 so since she was in the window anyway, I went ahead and chopped and pulled her in order to hopefully protect the 4 Blueberry Cupcake plants also in the tent with her.
