anyway ... although the growth i see is mainly stretch i like my plants to grow big ... the internodes on this purple kush seem to grow lenghty which actually kinda surprises me ... but my last grow showed me you can get huuuge colas on autos so ... my main goal of 150g per plant still goes ;)
Ive been looking at this guy's channel and i guess ... if he can do it ... then i must be able to do the same ... this dude has some amazing results with autoflowers
 
also ... we have a heatwave going on and consequently both temps and humidity have been rising ... i am sitting at 72%RH and 26.6°C ... the temps are still within range but i adjusted my fan a bit to favor the top leaves as i see their serrations start to curl upwards telling me she is getting uncomfortable with the temps ... as i dont have a AC if they rise more there is very little i can do except turn of the lights at the hottest part of the day ... outdoor temperature atm is mid 90's but next few days they will rise and will get around 100...

maybe i should just set them tonight at off 1 pm on 7pm ? that will also be good with my watering regime as i tend to feed them between 11-12pm which is/was not optimal
 
Pterostychus' Purple Kush Auto - 270W LED & 110W CFL - Coco Grow Journal

Temp stayed within range ... humidity is still high at 72% ...
she added another 2.5-3 inch ... if she gonna bulk the same way she stretches i am going to be very pleased ;)
fed 3/4 strength base nutes every day and am alternating bloombooster full strength every other day so today they just get basic nutes yesterday they had bloombooster aswel as 3 days ago for first time...
temp was at 25.7 wich is almost pot on ...
uesterday she started showing heat stress on higher leaves but after rederecting the fan the went back to normal within a few hours ... i see no nuteburn no deficiencies no bugs ... i do wind the internodes abit long but maybe its genetics i dont know ... probably the slightly higher temps and i also switched the full bloom (red) spectrum .... i dunno ....

any remarks ??
 
i have a question ... i am in early flower with my purple kush auto and she has been stretching a rato of ~2inch per day since a week ... now the last two days she added respectively 2.5-3 inch and 3.5inch ... this stretch i have never ever seen before and the fact she picks up in growspeed i starting to get me worried ... can it be that slightly higher temps and elevated RH can cause her to hyperstretch ? she sits at 25.9°C and 73% RH ... we do have 35°C (95°F) outside atm

the thing is she is growing into my light fast ... atm the very top is at 18 inches from the lights and 29 inches from soil

Nice job bro. Looking great. That is some serious stretch. What area of us do u live in. It's hot as fire here in fl, obviously. Anyway, just FYI, I found 6 seeds, 5 viable ones in my harvest from April. Don't know what strain. I have them outside from germermination using soak & pt method. They are in same pots & soil as last time. I'm re using my soil. Not expecting much, just curious bout how these do "Completely" outdoors. It's 90s + just bout everyday here. Heat index felt like 102 yesterday. Good luck rest of the way. ill be checking in on ya. This soil I switched from in mid grow last time (strawberry fields) when I transplanted, I found is 30-40% coco. I was told it was just like ffof by owner of grow shop. I watered like reg soil. Those plants never did squat. I wonder if it was because they didn't get watered/fed appropriately. Later bro. Oh. Here's some pics of my lanky girls. The popped above ground Tuesday I think. At first I was pissed at seed in my weed, then I thought, hmmm free seeds!!! Sweet!

hey moonshine ... they look good so far ...

i am not in US ;) i live in EU and we are having a heatwave atm combined with a drought that is looking worse sofar as the one we had in '76

my baby has hit 3 foot today ...i switched of the red bloom spectrum last night to see if that would slow the stretch ... but she still has put on a solid 2.5 inch in 24h ... yesterday she was at 33inch and today .5 inch short of 3 foot ... she slowed down a tad but she still is going to surpass my blue dream auto which became almost 38 inches.
i also noticed she is getting some minute tipburn but thats probably the result from adding bloombooster every other day ... with the 9/10 PK that adds it will push her over the edge ... today she should get another bloombooster feed mix but ill skip this one ... and next time ill go for 3/4 basic nutes plus 50% bloombooster instead...
tested runoff last night she basically draibs of the same as what goes in ...6.0 ph

she is forming some nice cottenballs but i find the internodes to long, some are 5 inches

hey, have you seen how i fucked her up a lil over a week ago ? made my heart bleed

anyway ... pics will follow later

oh and if ye give that soil a good flush followed by a mild feed it will be golden to start in again i guess ... but ... do check runoff ph as soil tends to drift down with age

They're already planted straight in finishing pots right after germination. Except the one in the root starter plug, I just planted in 3G pot today....the root was surprisingly long already about an inch out the bottom of the plug
