Lighting Purple kush, Hempy, Pro grow LED, CFL, PLL-55 tek t5

[vick]

I'll give you one to consider that I didn't when I first did an 18 gallon tote grow: changing nutes every week. A gallon of water weighs about 8lbs.

Just something to keep in mind.

Thanks. I have a system planned for it to make life easier when it comes to that point. Using an electric siphon pump, siphon out the res water to a waste area (bathtub, buckets, another tote, outside, etc) and then have a 2nd 18 gallon tote containing fresh, ph'd water and nutes ready to siphon back into the res. Quick and easy. Plants would probably get 10-15 minutes of air.

Northern Lights + Purple Kush =

Plants chopped! (except for one pk that has 10 days left)
50+ Northern lights x Purple kush crossbreed, feminized seeds harvested!

Germed one seed in paper towels and taproot busted in a day. Planting it in a rapid rooter, then transferring it to a 32oz 100% perlite hempy container. This will be growing on the side of the hydro dwc tote and fed with a non organic lucas formula using general hydroponics micro and bloom on the 2nd week.

Chopping the purple kush smelled like fruity grape and jasmine. The smell is so sharp that it pierces and stings your sinuses! Curing it with some grapefruit peel.
The northern lights is sticky and smells like sandalwood/nag champa and skunk.. Or maybe that's just my room.. Dry yield and smoke report for both strains in a few days.

great job! did you let the seeds dry out at all? if so, how long? I'm going to try to germ some more seeds tonight. I'm thinking my germ area wasnt warm enough. did you use a heat pad or anything?

Thanks evol! No drying time for the seeds. I just placed it in moist paper towels and in a ziploc baggie as soon as I plucked it off the plant. Maybe I got lucky with the one. I germ on top of my grow tent. It's about 75-80 degrees near my exhaust fan. I've also germinated inside my grow area too which works the same. Just put the ziploc bag with the seed in a container you can close and keep dark or use a black bag. One time I used an old shirt. Seemed like the best area in the house with the most consistent temperatures and no cold drafts.

Hahaha nah I wish I knew that girl. She's a babeeeeeee. Her name is susan coffey. Give google the old whirl and peep your eyes on the rest of her. unfffff. I think I'll flush every day this week and chop next sunday then. The white hairs at the top and sides are throwing me off. I don't see many ambers either..

:thankyou: This stuff is amazing after a cure and smells great. The only con is it's so relaxing that I can feel burned out couchlock for hours following into the next day. But that could just be me. Also wanted to note that I let the coco perlite mix dry out in the hempy buckets so I could check the root system. Unfortunately, barely any of the roots went down into the perlite but they took over the entirety of the coco mix which was maybe 1 & 3/4 gallon's worth give or take. This killed my yield. Maybe I did something wrong. Idk.. but it doesn't matter anymore. On to hydro dwc with my new cross.

This was a fantastic learning experience that rewarded me with 84 grams dried between the 3 that were chopped. Still one more purple kush to go which will be harvested later this week!
