Purple Diesel Grow Journal

I'm wanted to do my first grow journal so here it is. I have 3 purple diesel plants that i just started to flower.....I just did some major tying down ....but i've been "training" them there whole life.....i did something different with each plant to see the difference in yield..If any....Here's some pics to get started!

here's a pic of my little bubbletronics/dwc project...It's bag seed ....hopefully it's a girl...It's really simple.....started it a cube from seed....transplanted to cup with perlite...waited for the roots to hold it all together than cut the whole bottom out...ran two airlines in the bottom of the second cup..bubbles 4 times a day for 15 min at a time.....roots are about an inch out of the bottom.....there is about 2.5 inches of water/nutes in bottom of second cup....Never tried this method before???...any suggestions??

here some new pics of the girls....2 weeks in to flower...

Here's some more pics ....like 3 1/2 weeks

where did you get the seeds from? (if thats a question im not supposed to ask, my bad im fairly new to this site) & also what kind of lights are you running?

I got it in clone form from a club in Clearlake Ca......but I'm gonna make a personal cross with it soon ......But I'll have to dial in the genetics once i cross them.... But i love this strain...It' s one that will truly turn purple...even if the temps stay high...

I use 1 1000 watt Hortilux EYE bulb in a hydro farm fixture and ballast...nothin special...and it's just grown in foxfarm soil..

Here's some more pics...little over 4 weeks..Gettin nice color...

a true purple pheno of the grand daddy family

I like how the tying down worked on these too....kinda did three different methods to see if there's any diff. in yield.....But i'm actually trying now......(the small one you can see in some of the pics...two weeks behind the other's maybe 2 weeks in) ....A friend i met taught me his method....and his plants looked amazing...... grow them out to almost 3 feet....then cut the whole top off 1/2 the plant....leaving only 4-8 bottom branches..then throw right into flower....he has great results....so i'm doing a test run now with this same strain...and we'll see....you end up with a hella fat stalk and fat branches to support huge colas.....I'll keep ya posted!!

Thanks killa!!

heres a purple sour d at like 5 or 6 weeks,the buds turned pretty purple on it

here's some pics of my 1 trial plant with this method...it allows for a large canopy...i like this method because it all stretches together allowing to keep the light a lot closer...closer light more lummens...if you have 1 cola on top thats a foot long all the buds lower than the cola are at least 2 1/2 feet from the light....so it allows me to keep my light about 15 inches from the top...you end up with a large flat canopy....and there's just a lot more light gettin to the buds it seems like....this plant is 2 weeks in....
