Purple Ghost Candy By Seedsman: Comparative Grow 2024 By Gwhunran

Thanks Becca!

Man! Looking good! I bet the smell is awesome!

Question does yours or did yours ever have a mint like smell? I forgot to mention that in my journal today but the past week or so that’s the main smell I get. And not mint like fake mint but real mint and actually more specifically minced mint, it has more of the vegetable mint smell.

Thanks KeOncp! I can tell that they are smelling more strongly and smell good, but the MAC next door smells so strong, that it makes identifying the PGC smell hard. When I did some adjusting on the PGC yesterday, I could say that what I smelt was minty gassy.

Awesome frost...

Thank you Joseph, I think so too. It really packed on the buds that had their stalks cut back early on after flip.

Flip +58
Sally grow area

The grow area is running normally.

The PH is staying more stable now. I seem to have the most trouble the day after a reservoir change. And by the third day after a change, the reservoir stays in the desired range.

The plants are drinking heavily still and the buds are getting larger. Lots of trichomes. They may finish early but I'm in no rush.

Reservoir change today. Added the recommended amounts of General Hydroponics three part liquid nutes for 17 gallons in Late Bloom. Added a spoonful of epsom salts and 40ml CalMag+. No PH down was needed as the res. measured in the desired 6.0-6.5 range. A small amount of PH up was added this afternoon to get the PH in the upper end of the desired range before lights out.

The flowers are building and still looking good. Watching the bleached spots at the top of some on the right. If necessary, the bleached spots will be cut off. Is there enough time left for the issue to become a problem before harvest?

Well GDB I've walked in on a flooded floor, I've found burnt out bulbs when running HID lights, air stone hoses off, and other stuff. The running normally refers to things not plant related.

Thanks Jiggi, They are pretty neat aren't they. I think it's probably distance from the light and CO2 being double ambient. I will probably smoke them, that's too many trichomes to toss away.

Sally grow area.

The grow area is running normally.

The PH has been stable. So pattern has been:
Change the reservoir out and get the PH in the 6-6.5 range. More toward the 6.5 end.
Verify the PH is in that range before lights out.
Next morning find the PH too low. And adjust it twice more throughout the day, leaving it towards the high end of the desired range.
Next morning find PH too low again and repeat above.
Next morning PH is in range and stays this way for next four days until normal res. change.

The plants are looking good but still have a lot of white stigmas. I'm getting flopping. As long as they fall over inside the grow, no problem. If they fall towards the front and off the screen, they'll be chopped and hung for drying.

That's the Purplest, Ghostiest looking Candy I've seen during this comparative!

Thanks GDB, it does look pretty appetizing with it's color. I can now state what 55 day PGC smells and feels like. I cut a few flopping branches and dried them for five days then trimmed them up and put them in a little grove bag. The main smell I was getting was gassy and stronger than expected, plus extremely sticky.

 

[StoneOtter]

You got the frostiest ones I think!

Thanks Stone, You got a beautiful plant. At least you can enter yours in POTM, On my PGC, I can't tell which stalk goes to which plant, on most of the grow.

Nice work on your PGC @gwhunran

She finishing up very nicely.

Stay safe and grow well my friend,
Tok..

 

[BeccaBuds]

That's got to be some of the most dense trichomes I've seen, ever. Spectacular @gwhunran

Thanks Tokin Roll, It was a stretcher for sure. Still lots of white stigmas, so it'll be a few more weeks at least.

Thanks Becca! They are pretty dense for sure. I've got a little dried and trimmed in a grove bag. Floppers from day 55. I'll report on the smoke when the smell gets good.

The grow equipment is running normally with no malfunctions.

The reservoir was changed today. Added the recommended amounts General Hydroponics three part liquid nutrients for 17 gallons in Ripen. No other amendments were added. The PH was in the 6-6.5 range as desired.

The flowers continue to ripen with more white stigmas than the MAC next door, but the PGC started flowering slower than the MAC.

I think there will be plenty of bud on the screen and plenty for squishing too.
