2000w-coco-Purple Kush-DTW-scrog-med grow

[Raiderfan420]

This looks like some tasty herb!

Im watching u!

Regards.

Thanks Bro, I should be yummy..lol It smells like candy.

Looking great. Super excited to see your girls on shooting powder, i reckon they will blow the fuzzy up.

I know right, I have heard so much about it, we will see.

Holy crap... You're killin' it!!! Looks purple to me... Is that the Purple Kush?

Thanks Shady Bro, I appreciate the compliments. The buds are actually starting to look a little purple. It's nutz.

YUP that is SR-71 PK

Yes it is.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but is that the same one that Oaksterdam carries? If so then that's the same cut I've got, athough still in veg and no where near as pretty...

Just re-read the journal... LMAO, found the confirmations:



Hey Raiderfan420... I know I asked before, but could you recap the max PPM you hit in veg vs flower... Also what pH did she prefer in coco and how would that translate in a soil and peat moss mix? I just hope I can figure out what nutrients she prefers cuz it seems like the CalMag isn't the solution in this strain... Or mabe I'm not givin' her enough food.

EDIT:
So I'm thinkin' the Purple Kush doesn't like too much CalMag... I'm also very curious to see how her root structure is cuz of her medium stature...

It is the sr-71 pk which the oaksterdam nursery grows. The sr-71 dispensary is no longer in existance and the coffee shop blue sky is the oaksterdam exclusive dispensary. Not saying they are the only oaksterdam disp, but they only have oaksterdam clones. I picked mine up in lake county from green leaf. The vendor cut my clones from a 1st gen sr-71 mother. I am planning on making a run down to the bay in the beginning of Jan to get some new clones. The deal is that if you don't get them straight from oaksterdam, you may be getting a distant generation so the genetics have been erroded.

The root structure filled my 7 gal smart pots before I flipped the switch. roots growing out the bottom,sides and exposed on the surface. They are very squatty and mine are maybe 3 feet tall now, but will grow as wide as tall. When I harvest I will try and remember to post some root shots.

I haven't added any cal/mag at all. I have some, but haven't wanted to mess with the house and garden nute program unless needed. I do however have some bright yellowing on one cola top fans. It is only on one, so I haven't adjusted anything. It happens to be the tallest cola. I am going to flush tomorrow with about 400 ppm nutes in r/o water. If I son't see any improvement, I may add some cal/mag. I also have clearex which I wll use in the final flush 3 days out.
To answer the nute question. I used 400 ppm through most of the veg and start kicking it up right before flower to about 500 ppm. Then raise it a little every week of flower. I used 90% of the recommended nutes per the house and garden cocos feeding chart. I got up to 950 ppm, but am backing down now for the last few weeks. I ran 840 with the shooting powder and will bring it down again next week. I plan on running 400 ppm for the last week flushing with r/o water and clearex when the trichomes look ready (a few days before harvest).
I did talk to my friend that owns the hydro shop I go to today and she said she uses a low dose of cal/mag every feeding, but the h&g is supposed to have enough in it.
Sorry, I can't give any advice on soil because I haven't grown in it. There is a big difference though because coco is a stable medium so your res matches the medium and as tolerance can tell you, if you fuck something up, you flush and start over and it's all better. :)

Oh and in coco I run ph'd to 5.5

 

[Shady]

Thx for the detailed response... I'll have to see how H&G compares to Pure Blend Pro in terms of strength, but I agree that running hydro is much easier to control the PPM's and pH. I'm just surprised that the Purple Kush's PPM's is so low in Veg as compared to other kush strains... I'll drop the PPM's on the next feeding. What conversion factor are you using? I've set my Hanna to the default of 0.5...

Well the h&G chart recommends a higher ppm, but I just didn't want to over do it. This is my first grow, so I would rather underfeed than over feed. I use a hanna combo meter that I re-calibrate every other week.

 

[Raiderfan420]

Day 45 flower

I fed with 50% nutes and 50% run-off tonight. I also added 1/2 strenth cal/mag too. This is the first dose of cal/mag as I am getting some yellowing on the to fans.

I took some pics with my SLR and no flash.

 

[Rolln J]

his one is rad!

Thanks Brother. Yeah it is hard to get the light right without a flash..I took a ton of pics to get some with the coloring right.

 

[Rolln J]

looks like fire in the background!



speaking of fire you think cable still has job after the season?

man that sucked when gradowski went down - the team kind of deflated and then the satellite feed for fox went out and was out all night... I crashed because I was feeling like shit (was 10-17) and woke up and saw the end score. Well at least nobody can say jammuckus didnt get another shot - you think they gonna start frye this sunday? cable is real high on him....

 

[HighTolerance]

As always raider, you killin bro.

You know in my opinion Cable should not be a head coach. I hope Al let's him go, but you Davis likes a coach he can control. They better give frye a shot, I can't imagine they would start Russell again. Cable said in the press conference that he wouldn't say who would get the start which probably means he is going with Frye.

As always raider, you killin bro.

Thanks my friend. Dude, i am so sorry to hear about the problems your having. That must be heart breaking. The good news is, if you had to cut them down now, you would still have some decent meds. I know that still sucks, but better than it happening 3 or 4 weeks ago and not having any bud development. I am pulling for you though man.
I have some burnt tips myself and I am thinking of leaching with clearex, but I don't want to stress the plants so I am trying the gentle approach first. It is crazy how things start comming up this late when everything was smooth up till now.

 

[Rolln J]

just read the rumor mill about papa fassel maybe coaching next year - oh and joy we signed jp losman...

yeah cable = barney rubble and hes completely lost without fred and the great gazoo (jeff george - inside joke - lol)

You are right brother, shit just got crazy all of a sudden. I just got 15 more days to pull through. I am gonna do my best to make it happen. I hope the increase air circulation control the PM to some extent.

Thanks for you support bro. I have a gut feeling these bitches are gonna make it.

For sure HG is a gone, there is too much amazing medicine out there to fuck with a bullshit gay cross dressing whore like himalayn gold.

Yeah that shit has to be so frustrating..so much tlc you put into those fuckin trannies. I was thinking about looking for some myself because they looked so good, but not a chance now.

LMAO I didn't hear about Losman. Well there is your answer on Russell.

 

[Shady]

I love seeing the Purple Kush in all her glory... BTW, what's DTW mean?

DTW, dirty train wreck, shit donno what it is.

 

[Raiderfan420]

lol - Drain to waste. Same thing your doing Bro.

 

[Shady]

LMFAO... drain to waste a dirty tranny wreck!

 

[Raiderfan420]

LMFAO... drain to waste a dirty tranny wreck!

Some call it RTW or run to waste also. I may try to set up an ebb and flow soon. I already have the trays it would be easy enough. The only issue I haven't figured out is that I don't have the hiegth in my room to put a res under the trays. So I have been thinking about putting a pump in the trays and pump it back to the res. I haven't really researched th recirc or ebb/flow systems yet, so don't know a lot about the options.

 

[Shady]

Yeah man gravity is a bitch! I run a recirculating ebb 'n flow in my small megagarden and it works for my small setup, but I like to pump out idea... Maybe gravity fed with some sort of gate valve on a timer and you'll only need one pump. :thinking

Yeah if I fill both trays at the same time I could get by with one pump if 50 gals is enough to fill both trays. It would be nice to recycle the nutes. I burn through a lot of nutes. I also like the idea of the increased control of the medium nute/ph levels. Currently I water every other day, which allows for some ph variance. Since I am using 7 gal pots, the coco never really dries out enough I don't think. I may drop down the next round to 3 or 5 gal pots, just so the coco can dry out a little more between feedings. I am seeing growers with 3 gal pots getting great yields. When I started I was under the thinking that the bigger the pots the bigger the yeild, but with proper training anf scrogging it seems I could probably get the same yeild without larger pots. My babies seem to really flurish and their pots get almost dry. I water them every day in 3l pots.
