Purple Crack bagseed / main-line project

[canadaseed]

Hey Farm,

Big thanks to @clockworx and nugbuckets for the tech on this. Super straight forward and easy to understand, no endless reading like a lot of other techs. So I got this bagseed from some Purple Crack. Decided to do main-lining with this one I'll post updates in this thread.

Lighting: CFL lighting for veg, HPS flower. 18/6
Growth medium: peat, peat humus, composted, manure, perlite
Nutrients: plain water for now
Technique(s): will be transplanted into a hempy bucket style growing container and main-lined

Here's the strain i got the seed from:

Purple Crack bagseed - Diary

Seedling was topped 4 days ago and now today i main-line topped. Here are the results.

Until i get rooting solution (tomorrow) this will have to keep her alive.

Can I clone this?

Peace.

I haven't tried the purple crack but I know peeps love it. Congrats and good luck with your endeavor.

Thx man, I'm really excited for this one looking forward to pulling off a big yield if all goes well. I'm dealing with height restrictions in my grow space so I'm happy i learned about main-lining. The Purple Crack from what i remember was very spacey, time dilation and disassociation from the mind. Heavy body effects too... had a coffee smell to it.

Thx man, appreciate it... this will be my second grow so I'll be doing a lot of reading and learning as I go. If you can find some Purple Crack, try it out. I really enjoyed it.. taste is earthy coffee kush. I found i was in a state of amnesia the whole time i was smoking this strain.

yeah mainlining looks super cool. haven't tried it yet tho.

I find so also... back when i was a teenager i bought some stuff at a friends house when he pull out his bag it was all arm sized nugs. For me that's the most important part,, i don't want any mids or pocorn nugs... just straight frosted goodness lol

 

[canadaseed]

can i cut these leafs off yet,, is there enough new growth that it wont harm the plant? or should i just tie down and wait a few more days to prune??

 

[cephalopoda]

i'm no expert but i would leave them. still too small to take off that much i think

 

[way2green]

Yeh bro, hard to tell how yellow from the pics but I would have to leave them for a few days longer.

 

[way2green]

Purple crack, purple crack! Now that shoulda been a Prince song! Or was it?

 

[canadaseed]

thanks for the chime in guys,, i'm not sure why but i ended up pruning this morning, now i'm reading i should've waited .. :s but i think she'll pull through.

 

[way2green]

I am sureshe will b ok. Just might take her a few extra days to catch up. I just like to let those sun leaves hang around until the base of the plant thickens. Need a healthy trunk to get those nutes up. More fan leaves will be there in no time.

 

[canadaseed]

thanks dude, yea she's looking good this morning.. was reaching up for the light so i had to adjust the tie tags.

Nice work so far man, mainlining seems cool as hell and I intend to try it myself sometime. Im definitley staying tuned!

 

[cephalopoda]

yeah she'll b fine, it'll just slow her down a bit. remember, those leaves are needed for photosynthesis, which is how the plant feeds itself.

What up canadaseed, that main lining is pretty sick lookin! Can't wait to see what she looks look in a few weeks. Great job

thanks man, it's an awesome technique and depending on what strains you're working with it can improve bud quality.

true, so if i take off too many fan leafs i'll just slow things down... i was thinking off taking off 1 fan leaf from each side, or do you think it would be better to just leave them a bit more.

the fan leafs closest to the tie tag, thinking of cutting it off so i can slide the tie further onto the new growth.

 

[cephalopoda]

if u want to move the tie, just place it between the nodes. u don't want to slow growth down 2 much or u'll weaken the plant.

 

[canadaseed]

k sounds good @cephalopoda that's definitely the last thing i wanna do, is slow things down. This is slow process already as it is. I find i have a tendency to be very aggressive with pruning tho lol. I removed fan leafs closest to the tie tags and also topped one side. Hopefully this wont effect growth time too much.. maybe i'm making a mistake by doing this. what would the signs of shock or stress be? leaf curling, droopey leafs anything like that? so far she's looking very healthy and is stinky for a good 3-5 hours per day.. It's getting there tho i've already topped one side for 2 colas so wont be too much longer.. I'm thinking of leaving an off shoot grow til i can prune then clone/root it for the soul purpose of sexing. So i would put it under 12/12. I wanna find out what the sex is first before i go further into this. Any input on this farm?
