Sweet Seeds Dark Devil T5 micro grow..first time grower

Drop your temps a bit it may help your purples start showing. You won't have to leave it dropped just a night or 2 sometimes it will help the process. Kinda like most skunks and stuff will Purp up at low temps it helps the chemical breakdown start. But these are true purples so they will keep that process going once it has started.....

I read that as well.. my temps at night are at 74.. can't get any lower.. unless I put a bowl of ice in there with them.. Lol

High all!!!:stylez rasta smoke:
tonight did some crazy training on her.. i actually removed some of the old pipe cleaners and moved her branches over... left me a big old patch to put more branches.. once they stretch up a bit..
finilly uncovered the main stalk.. shes a biggen..lol...looking at wed for a nuted water day.. then next week straight water..and also week 8 ill be taking off a lower side bud and is how she is... looks like ill be waiting to put up that HPS system.. need to acquire a larger CFM fan.. mines a tad bit too small.. (havent actually hooked it up yet) just some calculations, and advice from a few member's here..
various pics tonight of her..

I reckon we are about neck and neck with this grow, some of your pics look like you have been in my grow room taking photos.
Interesting what kaosangel says above.
The biggest problem I have had with this entire grow is keeping the temperature down, my lowest yet temperature was today and was 27.5 C which I think is about 82 F.
My average temperatures these past few weeks have been around 32 C , around 90 F and I believe autos do better at a max of 80 F so I am amazed I even have a crop growing.
Maximum temperature in my grow room so far is 34.9 C yet I still have red/purple tones so although I dislike disagreeing with other forum members, I have to say colour variations can not be temperature related, or more to the point, certainly not in my instance.

There is a relationship between temps and coloration.. (even from what I read about these from the site I purchased the beans from.. cooler temps.. darker color) as he stated above they darken up or help along the "chemical breakdown".. to me, and my understanding of it, means the dying process of the plant, these have true purple in them, from what I'm understanding.. by the end of its life.. they"should" be turning darker.. purple almost black... I'm definitely not experanced enough to say one way or another.. maybe the higher temps you are experanceing is having that "effect" (slight dying process or chemical breakdown, has begun) on them.. Again just my deduction, nothing set from facts.. (autos max temps are around 86.. shouldn't be any higher,from my research).. I'm not saying yours aren't healthy..I'm just saying that it may be a possibility it's contributing to the darker color.. either way.. and most important the bottom line is.. these are gonna be some SWEET SMOKES in a few weeks regardless of purple or not..

Hey bro i cant get the pics to load on my pod. But those temps are some what high. Not criticizing at all. But I've messed up a few plants especially autos at those temps. My personal suggestion is... Keep an eye on them for funky looking leaf edges and growth. If new growth starts crinkling and swirling try to cool em down. I'm still a newb i do breed and have decent regiment but IMHO just be carefull. My first batch of autos last November i completely wrecked from high temps. I could be wrong and it just could be my geological area but, just keep close to them beauty's. I'd hate to see all your hard wor like mine go diving in the sewers.

Also plus rep on the HPS.

I've read no higher than 86.. I personally wish I could have the temps under 80.. considering what's been added.. expect higher temps.. I ran it without anything in it for two hours.. saw great temps.. had the girls in there ever since. Moved a few fans around.. nice flow across the canopy.. .. I'm still keeping my eyes on them for sure! Thanks again for the advice abd rep.
