Purple Urkle - Looking For 1 Gram Per Watt

Damn, the colors are coming out nicely in those buds. Looks awesome with the purple in the center surrounded by white hairs. What are the average day and night temps for your room? Do you have to get your night time temps low to get the coloring with your strain?

The average temps at night are 75* and during the day they are 85*. I've heard cold temps can change the colors of the product but true purple strains don't need a special temperature range.

Yep, that's true. Keep the pics coming, I'm following along and I can't wait to see what they look like over the coming weeks. Haven't had the chance to play with a purple strain yet myself, so until I do I'm stuck living through others.

i'm typically not one that is big on purps, but damn those are looking nice. that sativa in there might provide some nice balance =-D

those look nice, i hope mine can look as good as those i have two dairy queen clones. good to know im getting advice from an expericed grower

As I mentioned in post #10, one of my other strains made it into the tray where my purple girls are living. This one only has about 10 more days left before she'll come down, but I wanted to post a little porn here as this strain gets really icy. When I was working in Ohio for my job some years back, this was a local strain called Dumpster that I was able to get my hands on. Anyways, I'll post an update of the purple girls tomorrow.

Looks really good but you have a long way to go to get 1 1/2 pounds. In my experience, that crops not going to reach 1 1/2 pounds. Don't get me wrong that looks excellent, but in that little space 1 1/2 pounds will drop your jaw.

lol I have faith in you homebrewer.

I want to say that today is around day 50? We have almost a month before harvest and things are coming along as expected. Tomorrow is the last res change with the normal feeding program before I switch to the ripening stage. For those of you who use the GH line, maybe you've got some input on this insight; I'm pretty convinced Liquid KoolBloom (0-10-10) is nothing more than a more potent version of FloraBloom (0-5-4). When comparing the labels, they're almost identical and Liquid KoolBloom will burn your plants if you use too much FloraBloom at the same time. Per the GH feeding schedule, 20 mls of FloraBloom and 5-10 mls of Liquid KoolBloom (per gallon) will fry plants. I've been working on balancing both and am close to coming up with a revised GH feeding program. I'm going to take the stance that Liquid KoolBloom does nothing more than FloraBloom except save you about 10% on the cost of nutes, given it's higher potency. This is the only GH product that I have an issue with as all the other products have an individiual purpose and contribute something positive to the plants.

Again, res change every 7 days, pH to 5.8 as needed, res topped off with fresh tap water every-other-day. Here are the girls:



I think the color is coming out.

Looking good. I've suspected the same thing with Koolbloom. When you read the product description on the GH site, they state that koolbloom is "enriched with stress reducing vitamins and nutrient transporting acids". Of course none of those things are listed in the guaranteed anaylsis and when you look at the MSDS under ingredients it says "The chemical identity of the compounds and exact proportions used in the mixture are a trade secret." ?? Which doesn't seem legal to me.

Looks great man

The general consensus is that no nitrogen should be used during flowering, but I've been reading that some nitrogen is needed to keep the lower leaves from dying. Also, some say that nitrogen at this time hurts the flavor of the smoke while others contend that the nitrogen is locked up in the leaves and will not change the flavor of the smoke. What's your thoughts on this?

Nice post, by the way. Here's rep to you.

Cannabis is a leafy flowering plant and nitrogen is responsible for producing and supporting foliage growth. There is a point in the life cycle where the plant is no longer growing up or producing more leaves (whether it's in the buds or fan leaves), and at that point the nitrogen needs of the plant decrease. But I'd say until you hit that point, which is VERY close to the end of the flowering cycle, the plant does need nitrogen. I'd also point to outdoor grows of not only cannabis, but tomatoes, strawberries, corn, romaine, etc. All of these plants that produce fruits and veggies or buds are green and stay green their whole life cycle and that doesn't seem to affect the taste. Nitrogen is one of the most essential nutrients for a plant and I'm not of the attitude that it shouldn't be used in flower, though at the very end of the plant's life, I'll cut back the nitrogen as it's not required in the same quantities as before.

looks like it could be something for TGA...looks kinda like a strain they have ...i dont remember the name now...but it seems possible...very similar appearance.

they look great.

i use to live in ohio for 20 some years and ive smoke some of this shit *dayton ohio*. this is a awsome strain, wish i could have found a seed in my bags to grow this shit though haha...lookin great bro

by the way brewer, you get alot of sensi star and dumpster where u lived? i did... just curious

nice nice!! very frosty. it looks like a white strain. haha. Looks like you know what your doing with a small space. 600 grams for 600 watts is great. I gotta see if i can read and see if i can get an tips off you. next is 1000 grams for 1000 watts right??

Homebrewer your ladies look outstanding. definitely subbed and hoping to see what you come up with as a revised feeding schedule for GH.

Nice grow!
