First update!

Here's the entire setup porn. Some budporn of purple cheese and samsara flash babylon (week 5), 2x purple ryder seedlings (week 1), royal queen northern light seedling (week 1) the 4 purple kush babies on day 1 and 2 party cup hempy experiments (flash babylon).

The orange bucket is my old bubble bucket. Using it for compost tea and tap water aerating now.

Lot's of things going on in that tent. Good luck with the grow. Looking forward to seeing you grow out the cheese and the kush.

Thanks for the good vibes! I hope the cheese puts out well because it was started with weak light for the first 5 weeks. The LED's really sped up budding these past 3 days that I've had them in. Can't wait on that purple kush..

Aerating some tea!

It's lookin' nice and frothy so far. 1 more day of aeration. Also, the purple kush seedling roots popped out of the rockwool on day 3! Transferring them into their final hempy homes in a bit. Should I give the seedlings some tea diluted at 1/2 cup per gallon? Will it hurt? There aren't any nutes in it.. Just enzymes, root enhancer, myco and zho. I've never given seedings tea.

I shouldnt see a problem with that butjust hold fire till someone else confirms it i give all my seedlings Fish mix on day 3 of them srpouting ther heads lol Simon

Day 4 Purple kush seedlings, Day 12 Purple ryder & Royal Queen northern lights, Week 5 Purple cheese & Flash babylon

Haha alright, thanks. I feel like my seedlings are growing slowly...I planted the best performer in the hempy because the roots broke right out of the rockwool.

The 2 smaller looking seedlings in the peat pots of coco (purple ryder) got burned and growth slowed by a lot. So I'm trying to recover them. The 3rd one in the peat pot (northern lights) is the same age and is doing well.

The buds on the flash babylon (first plant from left) and purple cheese (second plant) are looking good so far. I think those two will give me a little over an ounce give or take.. Gonna feed em in a bit, then give them tea before lights out. When should I induce purpling on the purple cheese? My temps at night are about 60-65 and I'm not seeing any purpling. Either it's too soon or I got a green pheno...

Hey there..
Looking good them plants lush green growth. As for the purple some plants get a much deeper purple when grown outside. On the first photo of the purp cheese there does seem to be some slight purpling colour, an if it doesnt go as purple as you would like dont worry you will still have some nice dank purps
