just ordered 8oz to give it a try,... pretty expensive stuff, better work, lol...
Im taking yalls word on it working, who can argue with more trics... or purple bud... well, many people will about the purp, but
I just love the way purple bud looks, and i should get this just in time for my darkstars!!!

hopefully i get it next week so my hypnotic looks like the one in the pic on the tude. If it doesnt go purple, its still an amazing lime green thats already frosted looking like high times bud, and to ssee that explode with the purple maxx will be excellent.

So i have done about three applications and again the difference is slight so far. I though i saw some purpling today, but i didn't look to closely and lost the spot i was looking at, but that is okay im only 5 weeks 2 days in flower, so i expect coloring if any late in flower, after week six, but probably mostly week 9 the last week, i have been introducing cooler temps to see if that helps.
Again the difference in trichomes is slight but it is there, i have done three foliar applications and two feedings in the nute solution. This is in coco, in 7 gallon pots, under 1000watt air cooled tube, the plants are super bushy and developing nicely, they were damn frosty even before purple maxx but it cant hurt to give them more of a boost :cool: .
the strains are NYC Diesel x Sour Diesel-seedism seeds and Violator Kush- barneys farm.
ill post pics when i can.

You'll see it between now and week 7. Before week 5 they pretty much look just normal.

With respect to the purpling, two notes:

- The spray doesnt make it purple. It can increase a deficiency that is OK to have and create some purpling on some plants sometimes as a result of that, but it doesnt make anything purple and isnt really intended. That's why its now SnowStorm Ultra not Purple Maxx anymore.

- Plants will look the LEAST purple under a red hps lamp. :) If you bring a plant into the natural daylight then all of a sudden you'll see its actual colors. That's one of the reasons many photos on the forums here suck, people take pictures with their grow lights on instead of daylight or normal bulbs.

- I dont think you want to do foliar AND nutrient solution -- That to me seems like a doubling of the dosage which could have unintended consequences. Am I wrong on this part? I dont know, this is what I *think*! :)

From what i read you definitely reduce the amount of nutes your giving it while using purp maxx.

I have a couple similar growing plants of same strain im planning on spraying just one to see the difference.

purple maxx and snowstorm cause your plants to uptake more nutes than normal, essentially its like an anabolic steroid for your plant. use gravity at the same time so theres more of it taken up.

I was reading some reviews on th egravity and it made the buds way to dense for most people and a side by side comparison of the buds were the same weight dry, just the one with gravity was a lot s,maller due to the density.

I couldn't afford gravity:-( but thats okay i can try it some other time, my buds should be and look really dense already under my 1000w only 7 inches away from the canopy. ;-)

Anyone notice there are two different purple maxx made by the same company? i have one that is exactly the same as "Snow storm" and the other is different in color & has "organic acids & amino acids" with no N-P-K value, also it has a label on the front that says; "100% organic".
Anyone else notice this?

I know there are a couple different ones out there from what it sounds like.
Mine is "Purple maxx snow storm" It states derived from potassium carbonate, also has an N-P-K of 0-0-3 some people says their bottle has no N-P-K ratios as well as them saying its derives of humic acis and amino acids, my bottle doesnt say that at all. Its still an experimental product that they claimed wasnt meant for retail yet, but because of such a high demand they released it on shelves and apparently they change the formula and feeding recommendations on different bottles.

This thread really has me thinking about trying the purple maxx and the snow storm outside or indoors. I am in soil though? And whats foliar feeding? Can i just water my girls with this stuff and my new GH duo complete program? Part A and B!

Yes you can feed it to them in the nute solution or put it in a spray bottle at 2ml a gallon and finely mist the girls the last three to four weeks before harvest.
Or you can do both which is what im doing, i see a difference in trichomes for sure and the buds are getting real fat.

there are a few products, depending on when you purchased it. its been experimental and in development for years, snowstorm, then purplemaxx, then purplemaxx snowstorm, then lastly ultra snowstorm.. purplrmaxx has enzymes to promote color as well as the resin production, but all of them usually just case your plants to uptake more than norm ppms..

Foliar feeding is just a spray bottle of water. Add a teaspoon of purple max or snowstorm ultra whatever and spray it on the place twice a week before the lights go out, from weeks 4 till they are done flowering. That's it.

This stuff is turning out to be pretty awesome, wasnt sure if id be able to tell the difference in resin production but after a few applications of it to my wembley, im seeing the leaves completely covered in trics. Top and bottom side completely covered, never seen that much packed in on there.. plus the few i see popping up on fan leaves on the others. no purple yet, but not worried about that./
