you probably fed it too much PM

Hey there, I just got some purple Maxx I just started week three for my GWS and Sour Kush. I wanted to use as a foialer spray and I don't care for the color change. If it happens then that's awsome. I am really just wanting to frost up my babies. I dont know how to foiarl feed them but I bet it's not rocket surgery or brian science. I can't feed them before the lights go out but would it be bad to feed them when the lights are on. I have a 400w system. Any help would be great

Well, i have been using PM as a foliar feed weeks 1-4 of flowering so far and i can't see any difference at all between the other plants in my garden. It may have hindered the stretch by a few inches if anything but its hard to say for sure because i only applied it to 3 out of 11 plants. On the bright side... the good news is i'm not seeing any negative effects lol!

Another update! Its the begining of week 7 and i've been foliar feeding 3 out of my 11 plants with Purple Maxx once a week and i'm starting to see some interesting results lol. The 3 plants i have been treating with PM are the only plants in my garden that are NOT turning purple! I repeat, the plants i've sprayed with Purple Maxx have not changed in color but my untreated plants have...

interesting...are the plants from seed? or from the same mother?

They are all clones from the same mother.

hmm... interesting results. thats cool

So what's the deal with this and hydro? I see it being used as food and as foliar. Organic != Hydro, so they say foliar this for hydro? If foliar only, do you worry about the ppm of your normal reservoir having to be lower to prevent nute burn or does that not matter since its foliar? Any incompatibilities with other nutrient lines? I use Humboldt Nutrients (not Humboldts Own or whoever this is from)

I've got a few hundred plants, so I can do a test run, but I'd like to hear what does/doesnt work before I go nuts Thanks

im runnin a 5gal dwc and i add 6ml to the rez every 2 weeks . . i have a (up to) 60 gallon whisper air pump with 4 airstones attached and even thoe it says do not use with an areator because it will cause bacteria contaminints to grow darastically, i continue to add it to the rez with no problems what so ever except the smallest signs of nute burn which is a 8th of an inch on the tip of a few fan leaves. .
the other weird thing is i havent cut back my nute strength at all, i actually raised it by 100 ppm graduallly
so i 4sure recommend using this shit just be carefull at first or you Will burn the shit out of the babes

Another update!
I'm in week 9 (I think) and my 3 plants I treated with Purple Maxx are all still solid dark green while all of my other untreated plants have many yellowing and purple leaves surrounding the main colas. I only used the PM as a foliar feed on the 3 plants weeks 1-7 of flowering.

Just swooped this up, i want to revive this thread. starting week six in two days, should i foliar spray this late into flower? its says 3-4 weeks before finished on bottle.

Start now. Next time start around week 4-5 once the buds start forming real good. Spray em twice a week before the lights go off. You dont want to soak them soaking wet, but make sure its sprayed pretty evenly across all the plants with good coverage. You dont need much of it, I think I use a spoon full every time I fill the small foliar spray bottle. Spray em up till the week of harvest.

I wouldnt use it personally.. I own both snowstorm & gravity. but purple max it like trying to put lipstick on a pig. Looks are not everything and here in So Cal my local disp. refuses 90% of "purp" strains for this reason. Grow some grade A dank before trying to color your bud

You are misinformed then. This isnt to make bud purple or try and color it. It just helps frosten up your colas.

Exactly, i figured i wouldn't soak, but rather fine mist them. Color isnt the reason i bought it. I bought it for the trichome production which the bottle states, "virtually every grower experiences crazy resin production after applying it", with the chance of it turning purple about 1/3 of the time, especially if your strain already has that natural potential. My strains can all turn purple with out this, but this cannot hurt trying to bring out more of their natural potential. Also used for denser more heavy buds states the back of the bottle.

So there is no adverse taste after foliage application that late in flower?

I've used Purple Maxx on around 300 plants by now. There is no adverse taste. Just dont use the week of harvest.

produces indisputable trichome coverage.

Sounds super sexy, thanks for your help.
I did two foliage applications so far, plus one in the nute solution.
I did a pretty good misting today compared to yesterday. though from yesterdays spraying i do see a slight,slight difference.
How long tell you usually see results? i hear its pretty much over night.
I did 1/2 teaspoon per gallon for the foliage, then 2ml a gallon for their roots, that sound right to you guys?
Again how long till results are more visible?

If you are adding it to the reservoir, make sure your ppm is MUCH lower. Like 1/2 to 2/3 of what your normal ppm is.
