Champagne + purple, medical, 1st grow

was at the local hydro store today... guy there told me that they put chloramines in our water, so the 24 hr bubbler trick doesnt work for us to just buy the drops...

Yo thanks for stopping by. I'm not sure I understand what 24hr bubbler 'trick' you're talking about though? Let me know.. I use all distilled water for bubble bagging.

THC Tea is another benefit of bubblebagging. Save your water, filter it through 3 coffee filters and store it in the fridge for 1 to 1.5 weeks. You can use the water to make tea, coffee or drink it straight.

Pain relief in a cup.

Moved the largest Nirvana Top 44 plant from the veg temple into the flowering chamber today (veg chamber was more overcrowded than the flowering chamber at this point) and discovered it has 9 leaf leaves all over the place.
This should be some dope dope, here it is at just 30 days old.

hey love your grow. that champagne looks so great lots of red hairs. Ive got an outside plant goin and its about 3 weeks into flower and the buds are turnin purple.

smoke on!

Sounds good my dude, yeah I keep staring at my own picture of the buds like wtf made those hairs so red! Aha. All organic ferts and soils will pay off in the end (no i'm not actually saying organic ferts made the pistols red). But organics make me sleep a little easier as a medical patient and self grower.

yes organic is the way to go.

CHAMPAGNE, 2 WEEK EARLY, SMOKE REPORT!!

Good amount medium quality hash on the left and some pure Gold on the right


Buds: Two week early popcorn buds from a 3 day hang dry and 3 day cure. (Still smells a bit green but not very harsh)
Bubble Hash: Keif from the same 2 week early plant, a good sized chunk from the 'medium grade' bubble bag.

I am 100% BAKED right now after only one hit. Hits like a freight train but only in your brain, your body seems disconnected and still moves (seemingly on its own), but its 2 weeks early, so you can expect a more mental high until the CBDs develop...

CHAMPAGNE UPDATE:

12 Days from harvest!

Started watering with plain water to flush the girls as of this morning..

Leaning Champagne #3, dwarfing her 3 gallon pot:


A view of Champagne #2 branch and cola:


The purple kush pics didn't turn out so I'll update on her soon, I wish I had time to clone her before flowering Oh well..

Just switched from 18/6 into 12/12 in the veg temple. This gives me an 11 day jump on flowering the Northern Lights and Top 44 before I harvest the Champagne/PK and move the other veg plants into the flowering chamber. The Top 44 pic above is a good representation of the 7 plants in veg.. Now I'm waiting for them to show sex so I can pull the males..

Time to update on the veg side of things. These Nirvana NL and Top 44's from seed are TALLER than my flowering champagne clones now! Side by side they're the same height, but the champagne pots are 4 inches taller! The goal is to grow them around 2-2.5' tall. They are 1.5' tall now, and just started flowering.. These things have been growing at over a 1/2" per day with the co2!! I won't be topping or super cropping them, because I have much more room vertically than I do side to side... The current champagne's supercropped at 18" tall only take up 1/2 the available height of the room! Depending on how many females I get from my 7 vegging plants, I might sea of green some smaller northern lights around them in flower and go 100% 12/12 on them...

VEG CHAMBER UPDATE:
Days since planting: 35
Days of flowering: 2
Height: 19" (1/2" per day)
Strains: 2 NL x 5 Top 44

Pic showing part of the veg chamber with 4 plants inside, 2 front 2 rear

Labor day photo update:
Bud Capital secret Champagne and the elusive Cali Purple Kush!

People like photos, so I'm going to take you on a personal tour of my flowering room. I have 5 big girls about ready for harvest, lets take a look!

Here are all of the Girls when you open the door to the space:


My prize Cali Purple Kush runt, no flash..

Purple Kush, a little flash...

Now, lets take a closer look at these girls..

Purple Kush, lower branch.. looking more ripe?

Switching gears to the Bud Capital Champagne...
Here are the lower buds all the way to the soil I mentioned:

Champagne cola #1

Champagne cola #2

Champagne Cola #3

Champagne lower branch #2

I think this is a Champagne branch... Maybe PK...

Champagne lower bud #1

Champagne is your friend!:

Another Champagne Bud:

My first real harvest in 11 days! (or do they look lke they'll be ready sooner? Later?)

Any thoughts on the darkness and cold water shock ripening?

Any questions or comments welcome. Thanks

The medicine is looking good.

Thanks slabhead, I need to get a bigger room just so I can get a camera tripod in there! Then they would be nice and sharp tricome photos... Oh well, you get the jist of things right? haha

Photo update late addition:
Here is a closeup of some the tricomes on my champagne plants

I also just noticed that photos of champagne cola #1 and #3 are the same cola just different angles. Chalk that one up to the bubble bagging I did earlier in the weekend

Since it's bandwidth limit is usually exceeded, (and I can't update the post @#!)..

Here is the breeders photo of the champagne, again... Lets give it ten days and see if I can match it!

Think I can?

Good look Mcone....Currently I dont have a "connect" to grab some of these clones but I will get some Champagne 1 day....

Its a great smoke...The buds are covered in orange/brown hairs and if U look at them quickly U could think they were sativa DOM....The smoke is smooth and enjoyable..The Kush flavour is present with a mix of citrus/Afghan....The high is a mix of body and head, not as heavy and couch locking as other Kushs...4 me it was my "through the day" smoke...I felt high and relaxed but was still able to function efficiently...Great plant...Great smoke.....Good luck friend...I will B subscribing to this 1.

PEACE,BLESSINGS,PROSPERITY

Go ahead and pull up a chair.
Thanks for the smoke report! I haven't had any fully mature Champagne yet, this will be my first time with the strain but am impressed so far with its determination to produce primo nugs.

Thanks my dude. The bubble bags are stretching my wallet right now, but it will definitely be worth it in 10 days when I start trimming these 50% hashplants
