DWC & Soil: Verb's Purple Puncher Autos, Mars Hydro TS 1000

2/1/2022 Journal update



Howdy folks!
Haven’t had much to update. Purple Punch is ripenin again at around 950-1050ppm (decided to give her 2nd Kool Bloom week)

So yesterday I went to buy the 5-pack of FastBuds Gorilla Glue autos :yahoo: It is always a pleasure to deal with this guy!
Bought the Glue pack, and then guy starts to throw free sample seeds from the shelf :laugh: and ended up with all these:
9CC8BED8-668B-4597-9E29-1CDCCBE67AD1.jpeg

- 5x FastBuds fem GG autos
- 1x @Barney's Farm Wedding Cake fem auto
(Wifey saw the pic of pinkish Wedding Cake promo and she wanted an own plant :laughtwo: - So expect to see one Wedding Cake most likely in soil or coco)
- 2x @Barney's Farm Gorilla Glue fem autos

I’m stocked up right now!
And 1x FB’s GG auto and the Wedding Cake bean germinating now in glass of water!

Purple Punch will be harvested as the new GG needs the DWC bucket for herself. Germination prob takes from 2-5 days and first couple days it can grow the roots out from the RW or Jiffy plug before transplanting into netcup. …Oh shit just realized I need a new 6" net cup for the DWC, as PP roots has grown so I have to demolish the current one.

Added 100W LED panel ”spot light” for the lower canopy if the larf buds would swell up better

She still keeps drinking like 2-2.5L per 24h.
I’ll change the reservoir water in next couple days and by then shes going to get bout 200-250ppm of Terpinator only.

Trics are still somehow pretty cloudy and very little amber ones. But the amount of resin all over the plant is incredible!

2/1/2022 Couple pics from day 84:

32" width canopy:



PS. Cba to put the tent up and stuff her inside there. I’ll let her ripen right there. Setting it up for the new seedlings as they germinate. :popcorn:

Have a nice tuesday fammmz! :love:
Stay safe, grow well.

Hi @Verbalist, your ladies look great how many times do you have left?
 
Hi @Verbalist, your ladies look great how many times do you have left?
Hi Kanno26.
Apologies, I think I didn’t fully understand your question.
Are you asking how many days left until the harvest? Or just generally how old is she? - Well shes 84 days old. And she has approximately 5 to 7 days left (hopefully if the new beans germinate) until I harvest her.
Obviously she stands long as I have a new seedling to transplant.

Hi @Verbalist, that's what I meant, sorry I'm using the translator, maybe your seeds will germinate
 
2/3 Journal update


Hello fam & growers. Been like suuuper busy lately. Starting a new part time job and been preppin some stuff for 420mag SEO - As things get sorted and we start to compete for the very top google results.

Purple Punch getting close to the harvest. Thought I’d say couple last words about the first actual DWC growth/experiment.
I’ve definitely fell in love with hydro cultivation, hands down. I feel lile Ive learnt during these first experiments more than ever before! Many thanks for the support and guiding! :love:

Purple Punch stretch/size got a bit out of the hands - should have at least topped her, but I was so afraid of stunting her.
The strain itself was very easy to grow, but I should have done more defoliation during the flowering. Lower 1/3 is basicly larf only, as @Mars Hydro TS 1000 did not penetrate enough through the bushy canopy. :cheesygrinsmiley: TS 1000 is a great budget lamp for ~2x2 tents.
60x90x130 space however, would need a little more than 150W. Compared to HPS, TS1000 has done superb job!

Yesterday gave her the last defol:

Before:
156A6682-10E4-4A91-BCCD-F1EF83D844BD.jpeg


After defol:


And today changed the res water. Her last diet for the last couple days is: ~150-200ppm of Terpinator and 100ppm of Canna’s Magnesium.
Ending EC: ~0.6

Not to forget the roooot porn!
55F3827C-F1C3-400C-A96F-841E5172FED9.jpeg



And couple shoots from the past days:


We’re bout to wrap this growth very soon!
Wifey wanted an own Wedding cake auto plant :laughtwo: - her seed germinated already and she planted it! Shes bout to take a head start as my GG’s are still germinating in glass of water.
04D45366-1BF5-4F34-9F4E-27398D0B6A96.jpeg


I’m having two GG autos germating right now. One goes into DWC and one might go into 1L air pot just for lols. (If the 2nd bean germinates)
I was planning to make something very interesting of it!! What would that be? :hmmmm: I was thinking to build or buy this kind of scrog setup for the 1L pot:
1643911927460.jpeg



Or two vertical nets around the pot to make it grow like a spiral - like ”Vilby Green” system. Google it!

Thats it for the thursday.
Harvest & trimming fest probs takes place on this weekend, can’t wait :surf:


Thanks for stoppin by! All the feedback is much appreciated.

Much love & grow safe

Thank you @Bill284 @Rexer :love: unfortunately one of my close relative got COVID positive. So saturday plans canceled.. Which means I’ll be harvesting the Purple Punch most likely tonight! :nervous-guy:
I’ll keep you guys updated, and making a new post later tonight! Fíesta fiesta!

Hi, I wonder why you cut it like that in the end?
Hi @Kanno26
Its called ”stem splitting”. It is a way more intense ”training method” which can be applied at the end of the growth.
Cutting the main stalk at the base forces the plant to go into repair/defence mode which SHOULD increase the THC content.

Quote from RQS:
Stem splitting is a very aggressive grow technique that’s generating a lot of discussion in the cannabis cultivation community. Those in favour of this technique argue that it stresses the plant in a beneficial way, forcing it to take up more nutrients and produce bigger, more potent buds. Could this be true? Keep reading to find out.

If you’re interested about the subject, you can just google ”stem splitting” - whole lot more accurate info than RQS.

Lights off - She ready!

Thanks Bill, hes fine. Feels like a normal flu, he says.

And your good luck wishes were received - Purple Punch went down after 88 days above ground! :surf:

I just grabbed my phone for a sec to quickly post here. I’m in a hell of a trimming jail!!!
Been trimmin for ~3hrs straight and its 1:40am here.
Too tired to make a proper post so just a quick peek into

…Ive never harvested this much from one plant only o_O Fuck me trimming some of the lower larf as theyre leafy af. And trimming larf/popcorns is a fucking nut job!:lot-o-toke:

I’ll get some sleep now, and tomorrow expose the treasure.

Congratulations on the harvest , if that auto taste like the photo your going to enjoy it a lot . Made great THC CCO capsules. Sorry to hear family has Covid hope all goes well . Also sorry I missed the full grow from what I see you did a great job on those girls.
 
Hey @Verbalist just catching up over here. Have you done the stem splitting in the past? Do you see a noticable difference?
Hey @LKABudMan
Sorry for the late reply. Yes I’ve done stem splitting few times before. (3x NL Scrog journal & Cloning journal more about them)
Only thing is I’ve usually harvested them like 2-4 days after doing the split. :laughtwo: So haven’t seen nothing special. NL #3 pheno (it was photo) had stem splitted for ~4 days before I chopped her and only thing noticed the nugs had slightly more resin on top of them compared to two other phenos.
I’ve the TD auto in mini DWC main-lined, which is perfect shape for the stem splitting at the end. Follow (LOL I’m actually asking:laugh:) my TD journal and you’ll find out later.

Congrats V - it’s looking like a splendid harvest! :goodjob:
Thank you SenseiBlu :love:
I believe that without your expertise and help I wouldn’t end this good.

Congratulations on the harvest! Looks like the jars are going to be plenty full of frosted nugs!! :high-five:
Thank you @Rexer :circle-of-love:
Also special thanks to you as you gave me the first directions as I started dwc growing.

Hi and thanks @West Hippie :Namaste: glad to see you around.
Don’t worry the whole growth was pretty straight forward. Only issue were during the flowering as it was lacking Mg and I fed little too much K.

Yuh I already harvested the soil plant (little early tho) but PP smoke is damn amazing! As its described ”one punch to head and one to the body” :Rasta:
But this DWC plant seem to be whole diffrent pheno. The amount of resin on this plant, was just amazing… Ive only smoked some quick dried larf as Ive snipped sum off during the growth.
Tonight I’ll smoke couple samples of this new PP :yummy:



2/5 - 2/6/2022 HARVEST FÍESTA!!


Howdy fam!
Last night was sucha trimming operation. I’ll be doing the 2nd trim before I jar them.

So whats the catch???

- 185g (6.5oz) Larf/popcorns wet weight
Most of the larfs will be used to make hash. And I might actually cure some of the better popcorns. I was thinking to jar some of the larfs after 48-72hrs. Might be little tricky at the begining with high RH. But the reason behind that is to make them more tighter, as they’re…well you know larf..:laughtwo:

- 570g (20oz) the rest/bigger nugs wet weight!!!
Only the very top nugs got like really dense. But I’m more than happy with this!
So total wet weight is: 755g (~26oz) :surf: Minus sticks and rest of the trim I’m hoping for about 200-250g (~8oz) DRY! If I manage to get three hunnit / 10oz dry I’ll be buying a second TS 1000:laugh:

- 190g wet trim & almost full plastic bag of leaves
Trimmings as well will be used for the bubble hash. I’m having 2 full plastic bags of leaves (prev PP and BBK) also. That is a shit loads of leaves and thought I’ll make butter of it :cool:

Alright, less me and more pictures!

Ending & before hanging - Love that pile :hugs:

Oh and managed to scrape off 0.24g bite finger/scissor hash :drool:


And not to forget the rooooot porn. Didn’t see that broken net cup until now

Most of the bigger nugs hanging upside down from the stems and popcorns/larfs are between couple news papers.
Bathroom window slightly opened the temp is between 18-20C and brought the humidifier there to maintain ~50% RH.
Posting pics of them drying later.

With this catch I could lay low for the next couple months, but Verbalists garden never ends! Harvest all year round.
Tomorrow I’ll dump the photos before the chop and more about the new GG seedlings as I had to do little surgerys with them.

Stay safe, warm and medicated :love:
Greetings from Mr & Mrs. V - Now let’s run the samples!!

Outstanding all around Verb! The roots on that thing!:thedoubletake:

And what a great haul too! I'm stoked for you, for having such a great harvest :yahoo::high-five:
Thank you @Rexer :circle-of-love:
Heh roots went ham. It was a great harvest but I’m not 100% satisfied to the ”texture”. Some of the nugs stayed pretty fluffy and airy… Hopefully that gets fixed little with good curing. The quality is good tho. It has a lot more indica effects compared to the soil pheno.
Been so busy past days, but I’ll catch up your journo soon!

Sweet harvest, V! :drool:

She was breaking out! o_O
Thanks @FelipeBlu :green_heart:
Now the first actual DWC grow under the belt. A lot was learned.

Congratulations on the harvest it looks good. Enjoy your meal.
Thanks @Kanno26 :thanks:
The smoke itself is good. Little pungent after taste and hits body hard!


2/8/2022 Update

Helllo folks! Been kinda busy lately so updates lacking and Ive a lot to catch up with.

PP nugs were hang drying for about 72hrs - I accidentally let some of the nugs too dry before jarring them :confused:
Some of the smaller popcorns were jarred after ~48hrs and their RH is nice between 55-65%. But the bigger nugs their RH barely climbs up to 55%. Been burping the jars after it hits over 57% (so far Ive opened them once).

The final product exterior & texture didn’t meet my all expectations, as some of the nugs stayed pretty fluffy and airy. Due that didn’t give them a second trim before jarring.

Dry weight is:
- 45g (1.5oz) larf/popcorns
- 135g (4.7oz) bigger nugs
= 180g (~6.5oz) TOTAL :cheesygrinsmiley:

I guess thats a good harvest from a single plant.
A lot will be used to make hash and probs some dabs if I’d start vaping more often again.





Before the harvest


Well it was the story of Purple Punchers. Next up Gorilla Glues, Wedding Cake and new auto tent mix!
