i grabbed a grape ape cross by rare dankness called rare darkness. they are just hitting week 4 i think. when do yours start purpling up? great thread!
thanks bro,
they start showing purp around week 2. my temps have been kinda high in the upper 80s so theyve washed out a bit. the buds are really swelling i did the squeeze test and theyre nice n dense, cant wait to jar these.

im thinking about getting a new hood for round 3 rather than another light for now this summers gonna be a bitch temp wise.

And yeah might be pushing it dude just get it upgraded I got mine done for like 170 or something like right under 200 by a cool electrician did it in less then a hr
I also had to buy the light controller though that's another 150
But still gives me ultimate peace of mind.

When i had my cut the leaves would get a purple tint (regardless temp) although it never turned full purple it would just slowly get more n more hues of purple maybe if they sat longer?- and looking good ax swelling starting to come along nicely

yea man thats why i experiment with strains before i commit to them,like the purple diesel has about half the yield as the grape ape, so this is the last gro with it.

yea this cut is beautiful hot or cold, right now the calyx's are solid purple almost with a pink hue but the leaves have mostly faded to green. my trim job will effect the overall color of the finished product. my last gro was cooler day and night and the color was amazing! dark purple buds and the leaves had minimum greening.
i checked the trics last night and mostly milky with few amber and few clear ill check me lightly until saturday.

day 51 i plan on chopping day56. on the last apes i cut some day 56 and the rest day 63 and the first chop was way better i think it picked up too much CBD and dropped the THC % at 62 days.
the late chop took way more smokin to feel the effects.
ill try and get a pic up shortly under the halo.

Yeah def got to figure what strains you like and hold onto them
Like this purp mk ultra I got I made 24 clones the other day so I will def keep that one around and dump this white widow x big bud.
I want to order something from TGA or Cali connection
Like some querkle or crazy train
Something sick ha.

yea my boy gave it to me and im hangin on to it for sure, its got yield, appeal, awsom smoke, smell, flavor yada yada.

i did notice my mother has a pretty bad spidermite issue tho. i caged her outside and let the sprinklers hit her for awhile to knock off what it could. now i gotta treat her. i hate those sneaky little bastards!!!!

cant go bad with quirkle or even the urkle fuel. we smoked a joint today dont kno the name but dense as fuck slight purp color and taste like blueberry muffins on the xhale. i may get a clone in trade.

yea no azamax, the buds look ok and i dont see any lingerers. no webs im more worried about the mother, she has a decent case of them and im sceptical of the on contact killers (idk what works) and then after killing them i can azamax her.
