Thanks! IDAY 69 DAY 24 OF FLOWER.
Short and sweet today... All is good in Purdy's world, just another day trich-ing up and loving life. Basically the same as before just a little bigger. She is swelling nice, gaining smell, bulking. No more pest...and no weird leaf issues to report.......All that's left is photos .
Have a dope night everyone.
seeing Purdy Buds!
Hi Carmen
thank you....the babies are a Godzilla cookies from @Herbies Seeds and blueberry cookies from @sensibleseeds .
Thanks medscientist , I'm taking a liking to her....and to think I almost cut her down over a few male parts early onThanks! I
DAY 65, DAY 22 OF FLOWER.
Has been a bit more than a day since last update and it's nothing but good news.
So for starters I've just about handled the frustrating gnat problem. She is on week 2.5 - 3 of @Sierra Natural Science pest control "209" mix which seems to have helped....along with my gnat baits away from the plant and..... I know this is going to sound crazy, but daily torching..... Yes I literally mean using my dab torch and literally scorching the top surface of the soil....not to the point of a fire but enough to kill anything moving on top. I'm seeing the heat brings the non flyers (larvae) up to the surface of the soil, which allows for immediate executionof the new gnats, and additionally the fire takes out the flyers on the surface and I'm thinking is destroying the eggs that are shallow on the top.... I'm not going to recommend going at your grow space with a torch or flamethrower.....as much as some of want to at points
... But this helped me...and helped very quickly. And for those who are going to say this is not safe in a confined space.... I have water and fire extinguisher on hand when ever I have done this.. so no worries happy practices safety in here
. And now that that is taken care of (
just realized how weird that statement looks with the double "that that"
) I can focus on the daily check over.
So again great news, the male parts have presumably stopped growing.... At least from what I am seeing. Yesterday and today when I have checked PURDY over, I have not had to cut anything or second guess a spot.... Its all female and she is bulking up quite nicely. Which now makes me curious as to if this is a one off situation where it just got wonky from a light left on one time.... or if this was truly a hermie bag seed
. Additionally I'm curious about if this would work Everytime? Like if I grew group of monoecious (dual sexed or known hermie genetics) could I in theory repeat this process of swiftly removing any male parts that grow daily and basically have the plant level out and remain female for the remaining duration of the flowering cycle? And is that even a thing for a plant to realize the male parts are being removed and essentially decide to stop producing them?
Onto PURDY's over all report, the leaves are a little dark which I know is tad high on nitrogen... But the leaves and growth are very healthy with no burnt tips, yellowing, or any other damage present..... So I will not be trying to correct this. All bud zones are getting the first sugar leaves and are producing trichomes well
Conditions in tent are great 40% humidity with 72-73f / 22c. @ViparSpectra light is at 75% giving by the top canopy about 6-700 across the board. And all equipment is working lol sometimes I get nervous something is gonna mess up.....you know Murphy's Law........lol shit happens for no reason
That about wraps things up here today. Thanks for stopping and as always have a dope day
Cookies!!
That's from the training.....when it started to grow one way if just give it a little twist and hold it in position... Makes for fat knuckles tooI love them twisted branches you got going on. Good looking plant and them buds are getting thick boy!!
!!
. so I don't need to explain anything.... So I'm just going post photos until something else happens.... Ok?.....ok!
.
... So again I slowly churned the top inch of soil....and fak me and my life I saw little white wigglers 
. So again I broke out the dab torch and spent an hour going inch by inch and killed....idk maybe 100.... I know fak-ing disgusting.... But I kept going round and round the pot until I saw nothing moving. I am confident in my actions with these gnats... It worked well two weeks ago in my space fly free... But like I said old soil so I will most likely be fighting them through this whole grow.... But from her looks she'll be worth the effort . but with that said I figure it's not an aggressive product and a little extra should not harm the plant...... We'll see.
. This actually excites me 
... I normally choose colorful strains regardless of potency or hype due to them being personally satisfying to ME... I'm an artist so seeing colors and shades come in during a grow just..... Tickles my creative feelers. And with Purdy being a complete mystery plant, i wasn't sure what she would do... So I'm pleased so far.
.
. The damage is weeks old and is from my own doing. I have two spray bottles in my supplies that look the same. One has just water the other has rubbing alcohol and water mix for cleaning grow space 2-3 times weekly. I got distracted and sprayed that instead of the plain water one.... It happened when I was spraying the plant down with water to safely remove male parts....but due to the smell I caught the mistake immediately, so it was only that leaf that was sprayed with the alcohol/water mix and was promptly rinsed with plain water. So no worries again I do not have a deficiency ...I'm just a space case sometimes.
the weather is fine and the garden is finer.... Soo all is great. Again a brief update and some photos..... Temps and humidity are the same 73-75f/22.7-23.8c and between 40-50%RH. The lighting is at 80% with the @ViparSpectra P1000 and will be increased throughout the rest of the grow.....I know not a lot of light to start with to be doing this but it does seem to have more effect then leaving at full 100% the entire flowering cycle....could just be me...idk . She was also fed 1/3 cup top dress Bloom by @GeoFlora Nutrients with a watering......other than a quick smoke sesh with her, that about concludes today's check in.
Hello Miss Ray how are you todayHellooo Happy
All the better for seeing you, Hap!Hello Miss Ray how are you today
.
Looks great Buddy, Happy Easter.DAY 79 DAY 34 OF FLOWER.
Happy Saturday everyone, hope its off to a good start. Mines well so far I ended up with a three day weekend.... Which never happens.... I usually only get sunday's off....so I'm happy to relax.
Anyways, Purdy is doing well. She still swelling and stacking nicely. And she's still drinking at a good rate. I did notice some discoloration on the leaves today. Along with the normal purpling and the slight burn from nutrient pushing, there is some lighter yellow/ light green areas forming on a select few older fan leaves. I'm not sure if this is part of the normal process of "fall" or if I'm starting to have a underlying issue. It's not quite magnesium looking, it's not from over watering, probably not iron deficiency as that effects new growth first, maybe variegation? I'm not 100% sure. So tomorrow I'll go down the list starting with maybe needing some cal/mag with the watering.
But that's all I got for today for update.....other that that here's some photos. Thanks for stopping and have a dope day
. I just wanted to share some pics of how fat the nugz are getting and a few photos showing the true color without all the saturating lighting.
