400w Querkle Grow

psyte said:

The two phenos I have were both fairly purple but nothing spectacular... in both it first appeared between the veins of some of the upper fans.
I'd love to see some pics. Especially the super purple one, sounds like you got the pheno everyone's after.






I think his recommendation of bush or scrog is spot on. The canopy beneath the colas is very very dense and does not let much light through, so if there's not a lot of colas getting light you'll end up with a lot of popcorn... at least that was my experience.






No problem. I'm glad you're enjoying the journal. It is a very slow vegger, so it's pretty crazy to see it explode under 12/12. I wasn't expecting it at all on my first querkle grow, so hopefully my info on 12/12 growth will help others with limited space to plan for it.
Thanks for the rep... sending some your way too.

Btw... how's the medical scene in AZ? My wife and I plan on moving there in the next year or so.

All of mine or at least most show the purple right down the center vein of each finger on a leaf if that makes any sense lol. I inadvertently found the underside of the leaf phenomena the other day when FIMing and trimming my little bushes of joy... Basically if you see the purple running down the center of the leaf on the top, look under it, is there any purple under there on those main veins? Towards the stem of the plant? On mine 4 show no purple under there, 2 are semi purp, 1 is HELLA solid purple. It's not my favorite looking plant of the bunch about mid pack. But it's got the best purpling... VERY dark purp on the top of the leaf stem. The rest of the plants are still green tho. Never been under anything but 20/4.

AZ med scene HA total joke... Well unless I happen to be your caregiver lolololol
Maybe the dispensaries will be open by the time your here. If they are kiss your growing rights goodbye unless you & the wifey are moving to a very remote area of the state. Once dispensaries open you'll only be able to grow if you do not live within 25 miles of one! Total BS..... Unless your a caregiver and get patients that are not within the 25 mile radius then you can still grow for them. Otherwise its Shit Outta Luck....

Wow that's a lot of purpling for veg. Neither of the two phenos I have show any trace of purple until at least half way through flower.

Dude that is total bullshit... I thought the michigan med scene was bad. I HATE dispensaries with a passion. Bunch of greedy fuckers charging street prices and taking advantage of the sick. So if you live by one the state is basically forcing you to be ripped off by legal dealers instead of being self sufficient? That is just beyond fucked up.

Honestly I only respect the law in so far as it makes sense, so I'll probably grow out there regardless. Out here the limit is 2.5oz (I think you guys have the same) and to be honest I pay no attention to it at all because the only way to stay within limit is a quickly cycling perpetual grow and that shit is just not practical... especially with a 12 plant limit. I harvest every 2-3 months and 2.5oz does not cover that amount of time for my wife who has severe chronic pain. The hoops we have to jump through for a drug with no real side effects that you can't overdose on is just fucking stupid.

Ok that's the end of my rant about mmj.

couldn't agree with you more psyte on the mmj thing. AZ is an interesting case in the mmj realm imo. I never would have thought it would pass there, but it did.

Exactly, and right now its a free for all anyone with a card can grow. So one day when a dispensary opens up a block away... The state has already thought of that though and they just wont re-approve your grow rights when you reapply annually if your within the 25 mile "no grow zone" surrounding every single dispensary. The ONLY legal way around it is to get some patients not in the zone (how the hell am I gonna meet them....) and be their caregiver. Grow in AZ is 12 plants per person & 2.5oz per person limit. I'm doing a perpetual grow too... Hoping to harvest once a month... Totally agree with your mj rant.

It didnt pass at first... The stoners finally got up the mustard to mail in their votes and it only passed by 1,500 votes or so out of millions. At first they said it didnt pass but like every single last minute possibly mailed in ballot was a landslide for Yes and it barley squeaked by. I found this particularly funny because I remember filling out my mail in ballot and smoking a bowl spilling ashes on it LOL!!!


Here are the ladies,

The most prized purple one...




Some Purple...


NO purple underneath...

Yeah I wouldn't be comfortable being a caregiver for anyone but family anyway. I like to keep my grow low key... being a caregiver for someone I don't know real well and completely trust just seems like it could be kind of sketchy.

My mom lives in AZ and voted yes... which is funny in a way cause she kicked me out of the house when I was 20 cause I wouldn't stop smoking pot. But that was a long time ago and she's a smart lady and knows the medicinal benefits are legit.

I see what you mean about the purple veins now. Mine probably fall in the "some purple" category. I'll be interested to see how that real purple one turns out in flower.

the plushberry in my last cycle were purple like that.

Wow this loss of data shit is fucked up. Even if it's not RIU's fault (who knows) I think it's fucked that the last backup they did was nearly a month ago. Idk if I even want to go on putting any effort into this journal knowing I can lose so much data at once. I feel like I wasted a lot of time. May be time to move on to another site.

it was a hack job. i logged in right before it went offline yesty and there were just links where everyones posts were. something about the truth about drugs or some shit.

Yeah supposedly other vbulletin sites got hacked too. I meant that I wonder if some blame is on the sites that got hacked for not keeping security up to date as is usually the case. RIU's backup policy is clearly lax (imo) so it just wouldn't be that surprising to me if this was due to not having all the available security patches up to date.

In any event, it doesn't really matter now. What's done is done. Knowing there's always a possibility of getting hacked, I just hope they'll have a better backup policy going forward.

I'm going to keep going on with the journal since I'm really into all the discussion and comparisons with others growing querkle. Idk if I will be as detailed and put as much time into my updates, but I will still keep the pics coming for sure. Speaking of which, yesterday was 6 weeks 12/12 and I need to upload the pics when I have a chance.

I know you didnt ask me .. but carbon filters work VERY well if you purchase a quality one rated for your flow .. and replace it when needed... I have 2000 watts of flower exhausting out of my spare room window.. all summer we had bbq's 5 ft from my exhaust .. not one person noticed any odor... My wife does childcare in her spare time and no one has ever noticed.. Also we had a babyshower for 9 hours.. people over for football.. lol you get the point. What im saying is .. its amazing just how well it will work if set up properly .. Plus controlling your grow room temps is SOOO much easier in a insulated room compared to a shed

Wow how do u even risk another mans kid in that atmosphere?
If u were an ontario boy we would beat ur ass till u were allergic to bud... Just sayin.

i dont see the risk? is growing weed somehow harmful? its obviously in a sealed environment with all the proper ventilation etc and im sure the kids are not allowed in to see the plants or anything.

Yeah I don't get what the problem is. How is there any danger at all from filtered grow room air?

L, I can't see the pics again. Is it just me?

Here's the 6 weeks 12/12 pics (taken on 3/16).
They're doing good... had to tie up a few colas that are starting to sag a bit. Pistils are starting to yellow all over.

Yo great journal psyte! You have done some impressive things in that tent! Stay crunchy!

Even in milk.

This plant has been pissin me off. The nug development seems far far behind for being at 7 WEEKS???? Nugs are no bigger then maybe a golfball. and i have never flowered under a 1000 watt and was hoping to at least get a couple main donkey dicks. Very fuckin loose to, to the point when i grab a bud to look i can see the stem inside the bud. smells like crappy hay until you rub your fingers and get some nice stickiy candy smell. otherwise you wouldnt be able to smell it. Also gotta say there is a shit ton more popcorn then anything. when the plant first started budding i pulled maybe the first foot of branching to get more main focus on top. this plant is definitely for the connoisseur. cant say all things are going bad though. Nugs are getting very frosty with a great purple color. No bugs no root rot, fortunatley this has actually been a farely easy grow. only thing i would change is strain. I feel like this plant could produce almost a P with a different strain, and i only see me getting 4 maybe MAYBE 5 oz of nug and double maybe triple with popcorn. Gotta say though weed at the end is better then no weed i guess.lol
