Going to redesign my room to make sure I’m hitting 50+Watts per sq.ft.
(3.5’x10’) (1800w)
(4’x4’) (1000w)
Want to get the UC12 Current Culture System for the 1800 watt section.

Some concentrate from the last GDP Run.

Day 45:


Without PM In Rez (above)



With PM in Rez (Above)

[Both Foliar Feed PM]

The "without" looks better to me . But they are both chunky.

Another Without in Rez (above)

Another With it In Rez (above)

The GDP is day 31 (above)- No Purple Maxx (Same Room/ Pheno)

Nice gro bro! I have a few Purple Dreams (GDP), but don't think I'll be growing them anytime soon as I fear Sativas and their extended bloom times. Our grows have a lot of similarities and I too had to switch strains to get with a better yielder. I'm finishing out my OG Kush generations while my Triple Cheese (Barney's) seedling catches up. I also got another red strain called AyahuascaPurple also from Barney's that's supposed to purp out. I'll probably try those sometime in 2019. My previous harvest of Kush had a lot of purple going on, but I later discovered my feed isn't giving enough P, so that's probably why it purpped. The buds were stupid thin and long and they never fattened up. The smoke is A+++ and tastes like Sin Sin with a very sweet exhale, buuuuuuut it looked like shit, lol.

Yeah I was reading over your thread about building you own auto injection system, like your 3D printer builds too.



My Dry Nutrients are starting to show up as well. WIll be doing a few test recipes (321, GreenGenes custom, both plus DIY Terpinator and Moab w/ & w/o monoammonium Phosphate) 4 light controller set up in veg to run 240v.

Got a lot of upgrades coming in over the next 10 days. Got everything almost dialed in with new dehumidifier in flower. Temps 74-84F/ Humidity 43-56%

The 84F/43% is lights off readings, the dehumidifier creates a lot of heat and since I run my lights at night the heat outside is highest when the lights are off. I could lower it by running the a/c but everything it’s running great and it’s getting colder every day. (Dehumidifier only runs with lights off)

Today’s lights off readings (Below)


Going to be building my own 4 Site RDWC w/ control bucket as well.

It’s turning out very resinous on all plants.
Started Ripen Schedule:
10ml Micro
30ml Bloom
PH 5.8 - 6.1
Dry Koolbloom 1 tsp.
Floralicious Plus 3ml
(Plus Purple Max 7.5ml to designated plant)

No Pmaxx

Day 41

Very chunky. Keep up the good work.

We have Purple.

With P.maxx In reservoir (above)

It’s very slight 1 Day into flush. Haven’t dropped temperatures either.


Most buds have a bit on them.

The one (above) was without in reservoir. Just sprayed.

Harvest Lights 1/2
•Didn’t purple enough to be cosmetically viable. Will know in 2-3 weeks if it was the Purple Maxx that made it purple when I pull down light 3. Will have harvest weight and pictures 1-2 weeks.

The plant with the most Trichome coverage in this room didn’t receive Purple Maxx in reservoir.

All the plants sprayed with Purple Maxx and in reservoir fox-tailed about an inch from th bud on some sites.

Also offset my nutrient regime and damaged pistils. None of that seemed to have a direct impact on yield and these plants were quite dense (although I did use my regular bloom boosters.)

Overall I won’t be using Purple Maxx again indoors (although it very well might cause slight purpling). Maybe I’ll try it outdoors one day.



(Had to use an extra room other one is occupied)

Drying



Made more wax to. Just flipping the slab its going back in to purge.

Going to look good after cure
I’ll manicure ther remaining leaves during the dry.

Very nice.

nice looking buds, i saw your lights off is 28+ celsius, if you dropped it to around 20-24 celsius you'd see dark purple like those photos you saw of my buds the color would be much more pronounced.

Yeah it starts at 81F and end around 74F now. Lights off is around 69F- 71F. I was going to drop temps but I’m looking for a true purple and I wanted to test the Purple Maxx. Your grow was awesome though bud a good read. I’ll be dropping temps next run.

Looking good bud. Feel free. To drop pictures here when you’re done.

The crop without Purple Maxx purpled as well and temps are steadily dropping as it gets closer to winter. Breeding tent going up soon and I’ll post picks of begging GDP phenos once lights turn on.

Strain review after full cure. Hasn’t even been a week yet

Smell: Grape/ Gas/ Skunk

Trim: Moderate

Grow: Easy

My temps with lights on are 67F w/ 1 hour left of lights on and has gotten as low as 63F.
If I can’t keep temp above 70 with lights on I’ll swap 600watt to 1000watt

Last nights low was 59F
