Purple Apricot, Soil, LED, 2018

[GnomeUDidnt]

Welcome back, thanks for taking the time to stop in. Last time we did 4 Lemon OG auto flowers. But this time were doing photoperiods. Purple Apricot from compound genetics. Regular seeds so we may get a chance to collect some pollen. 90/10 indica dominant 8-9 weeks I'm still pretty new so until I can find the courage to use coco this one will be in soil fox farms happy frog and a couple handfuls extra perilite. We're gonna start these girls off in solo cups then move to 1 gallon pots eventually after I sex them and depending on how many females turn out we will decide what size pots they go into. The size of my tent is 3x3x6 perfect for what I'm trying to accomplish. Currently using a viparspectra 450 but I'll probably be buying a 600 in a few weeks. I will be using urb natural and possibly canna nutrients.

December 30 I dropped 5 seeds in water next day all were sunk to the bottom. Now all 5 are in wet paper towels. Had a quick peek noticed 5 tap roots starting to come out. I'll try to post ad much information as possible throughout this grow and hopefully learns some new things along the way.

Yesterday night I put 5 seeds with little tap roots into cups. Placed some popsicle sticks in the seeds to hold up some plastic rap over the too. Normally I would use sandwich bags but it seems I didn't have any. This morning a few were barely breaching the soil. So I just misted the top with water and placed the plastic rap back down. Turned the heater up 1 notch.

Tried to upload these 2 in the last post but failed every time. The older version of this app was a lot more user friendly.

Good luck for your grow, seems like you have the basics nailed down. Get a link in your signature so others know you have a journal running. How To Add Links To Signatures

Subbing up. Curious how this strain turns out.

 

[GnomeUDidnt]

So only 3 of the 5 popped up out of the soil. So I dropped 2 oak tree x grateful grape into a glass of water for 24hrs then in a wet paper towel for 24 hrs. Now their in their solo cups under their done.

Not much change noticed some light stress so i backed the light out. I did add 2ml of urb natural to half gal water. Then filled a water bottle to water these girls gently at their base and a light foliar feed. Only 1 of the 2 oaktree x grateful grape (im gonna called this grape tree for short) germinated. 1gal pots finally showed up in the mail. For only 60c each im impressed with the quality.

Went to freddies filled the water jug with their RO water machine which always tests out at 25ppm and 6.4 ph. 5gal jug for 2 dollars. Water the girls temps are 76 with the lights on and 69 with the lights off. I bought what was supposed to be 36x36inch tray but it actually measured to 37 3/4inch. So i sent it back. But now that i have measured my space i gotta find something in the 34x34 area. Once the scrog is set i wont be able too remove the plants to water them. Ideas welcome and greatly appreciated.

Stop by anytime. I feel like I've learned a lot but theres alway room to improve. I can alway answer questions to the best of my ability or point you in the direction of someone who could help you further.

This breeder has some genetics im waiting to be released so i grabbed this pack on a whim. The grape tree came as freebie seeds when i bought from solseeds. Compound will release Jet fuel Gelato in march, then massmedicalstrain will release star pupil this summer im really exited about that one. Both are supposed to to be feminized. 2018 will hopefully fill my garden with glorious purple strains.

One of the 3 puple apricot has a mutated leaf. Here a few pictures.

Repotted into 1 gallon pots. I should have taken a picture of the roots but i was to lazy to find my phone. They were nice and white i sprinkled some mykos on each root mass before placing it into its new home. Pour a little bit of water in each one and left it. Nutrients will start whenever they seem to be settle

Been colder 71 degrees in there so i added a 300w panel to see if that would help raise the temps. They seem to have bounced back from the transplant.

Looking amazing there Gnome! They have definitely taken well to the transplant with all that lovely new growth

Looking good man I'm subbed. I was wanting to get some of those seeds.

Subbing in....Beautiful little plants there!

 

[GnomeUDidnt]

So i thought they had taken very well to their new home. So a few days ago i topped them. And last night i ran 2 gallons ro water with, 30ml urb, 10ml liquid seaweed, 5ml canna terra vega. This morning they look amazing i cant be any happier with the progress they are having. I put all 4 in my bath tub and let the excess go down the drain.

They are looking amazing. Topping low is like it kicked them into gear.
