The Plant That Wouldn't Die (Alaskan Purple Auto) 2024

Hey guys, I have an odd story for ya. I sprouted this Alaskan purple Auto flower before I ever bought my Bruce Banners that are in flower now, February 27th is the day I believe she sprouted and Is the oldest picture I have of the plant. The Plants that I was growing her with got crushed and I wasn't looking to do a solo grow in my 4x4, I was looking for a challenge. I neglected the plant and basically gave it fresh water every now and again. The auto flower began to die, turning yellow and white. Once I got the new seeds I wanted to see if she could come back and so far she's doing great, except her biological clock is broken now and isn't flowering on her own. I'm guessing she will flower if I give her a 12/12, I just thought it was neat because I've never heard of an auto re-veg. It's getting big and bushy so I'm starting to get excited to see if shes gonna put off some photo period yields with all this size. Enjoy the pictures!!

This AP got a new home today, Its currently in a 4x4 waiting for a hair cut. I ran out of space during harvest today and had to use the trellis for drying, it will go back in the tent once drying is over.

Looking good @Rick34

How long do you plan on vegging?

Stay safe and grow well my friend,
Tok.. :bong:
 
@seaofgreen18, @Tokin Roll. Thanks guys, I appreciate the kind words. I plan on vegging about another week or week and a half. I'm gonna put a trellis in this space and spread her all the way out, then I'll flip a few days later once she recovers.

Are you going to move up the trellis as tge plant grows or are you gonna double trellis? If you double Ive found it's better to use the smaller squares in the first trellis for training then add the other trellis with the bigger squares for weight later on but I've found its much easier to train with the smaller trellis first, something to think about ✌️
 
The other reason i might want to double trellis is because i can keep ALL the flowers in the light and they won't be leaning all up on each other plus it lets you get light into the lower canopy to maximize your yield. Thats it i forgot to mention that in the last post, I do that Alot its probably the weed makes me so forgetful these days 🤣🤣✌️
 
@seaofgreen18 @Bill284 , Thanks guys I appreciate it. I do plan on using a 2nd trellis during flower and this is my first time using this method so you're teaching me something new, thanks. I know I have to get a different type of trellis next time because it's tight around the edges but kinda loose in the middle and I don't like it. Any brand recommendations?

She has started to fill in nicely and she just got a new light. I know some of y'all have seen light 4x4 light that's on sale right now, the RDJ Bonus- 720w. the price was right so I'm giving it a shot.
