HashGirl Grows Purple Ghost Candy In The Seedsman Comparative Grow 2024

Thanks, Mocha. No worries about missing my birthday. I've been having vision problems since early April so haven't been on here as much as I normally am. I miss everyone but my vision is blurry and reading electronics just makes it worse. I have an eye appointment on June 11 so hopefully, it's something solvable or I may remain elusive here.
I'm sorry to hear about your eyes HG, I hope everything is going to be okay, if not maybe look into a "text to talk" program, there's several out there for free, just highlight it and it tells you what's been said, I could say more, but don't want to cause more discomfort, prayer and well wishes for you HG, always a pleasure :hug:
 
Anyone in particular that told you? Just curious 🧐 about that. lol 😂 CL🍀
I honestly don’t remember who said it but it was in my journal on my birthday, so someone who knows us both. Lol!
 
Hey @HashGirl, I have a question if you don’t mind? Do you always start your girls in straight perlite? What is the reasoning and/or advantages of doing this vs. starting in the same soil mix you will uppot into? And also, don’t know why I don’t know this, but when you uppot, I guess you wait till the roots hold the whole rootball of perlite together, yes? So does that take longer or shorter time than in soil?

Guess that was more than one question. Lol! Thanks!!!

Hello Jon.

I'm switching from ProMix to Hempy due to my continuous issue with PM. My husband's cousin works at a licensed producer farm and he says hydroponic is the best way to grow and I chose hempy because it's relatively easy.

That said, Portia is only in perlite indoors. She will be moved outdoors this weekend and planted in a 10-gallon cloth pot filled with ProMix, @DYNOMYCO and GeoFlora Veg.

The roots that are encased in the perlite will be transplanted to the ProMix but the ones that aren't won't be.

Interesting that you said that about the ProMix and PM. The only 2 plants I've had any PM issues with have ProMix soil.
 
Purple Ghost Candy Update - May 15 to 30, 2024


Good afternoon.

Since my last update on May 15, Portia has grown 2 inches taller and almost 3 inches wider. She was transplanted today from an indoor grow in a Solo cup filled with perlite and being fed MegaCrop to a 10-gallon cloth pot filled with ProMix and fed with GeoFlora Veg.

Here are the pics for today's update:

I just found out that I've been pHing incorrectly so hopefully, the light coloured leaves will darken soon.

Thanks for following along.

Good afternoon.

Before I get started on the update, I just wanted to let people know that my blurred vision is fixable. I have cataracts and expect to have them fixed within 6 months. Until then, I won't be online much but will post updates as often as I can.

Portia is a strong lady. She is growing very well outside and has grown about 4 inches in a week. I haven't topped her yet but know I should. Where do people normally top their outside plants?

Thanks for following along. Comments, questions and suggestions will be addressed next time I can log on here.
 
Good to hear it's "only" cataracts🙄...I've got that coming up in a few years too, according to the eye Doc...
Where do people normally top their outside plants?
I top everything above node 4, but 5 or 6 would work fine, too...
Damn, HashGirl- Portia's a little beauty queen!:cool:👍
 
sweet! Another PGC journal! Glad I’m not the only one that was a little behind starting their grow :)

I’m all caught up now and Portia is looking great!!!
 
Hey there HG!! Sorry about the cataracts but it'll be much better after the surgery. I've had both my eyes done. Soooo happy. Happy Thursday to you hun!! 😎✌️
 
*** Purple Ghost Candy (Portia) - UPDATE

Good afternoon.

Despite the comparative part of this grow being over, I will still post updates on Portia until she's finished. I already started so no sense in stopping. :battingeyelashes:

Since my last update, she was fed once with the last of my GeoFlora Veg. Next feed is tomorrow and she will be fed Gaia Green's Power Bloom. This is my first time using it but it was recommended to me by @g-one-three so I have confidence in it.

She has also grown a whopping 22 inches taller and 15" wider since the last update and she hasn't even started flower yet. And, this is after she was topped on June 27. Here is her updated info and current photos:

That's it from me. Thanks for following along.
 
Looking great @HashGirl

How long are you planning of vegging?

Stay safe and grow well my friend,
Tok..

Hi Tok.

Considering that I'm growing outside, it's whenever Mother Nature decides. :battingeyelashes:
