64 plant ebb and flow sog purple kush and purple erkle

[jcdws602]

Just got back home and opened up the door and the wonderful aroma of purple came bursting through. Its only been a few days and it seems like they've grown a bunch. Doesnt it always seem like when your away from your babies for a few days they grow a lot? Any how im changing the res right now. Its been about 16 days since ive changed it and tonight when i looked at them a few of them looked like they had nute burn. So i checked the ec and indeed it was a little high. I think the res had salt build up. The colas right under the light are getting FAT. They are only on day 34 of flowering and the PK are already twice as big as my last batch. The damn erkle seems to still be just tagging along. co2 does wonders..... Maybe growing in hydro has something to do with it as well. ill try to take some good pictures. its kinda hard though, its a jungle in there.

I know what you mean,.,.,.,can't see the growth when your always looking at them...a few days without seeing them and bam they look like monsters....hehehe........... be waitng for the pic update

So while examining my buds last night i thought of something. The buds on my PK are all ROCK SOLID and super dense. While the buds on the Erkle feel something like a cotton ball. I know it has to due with the lack of light that the erkle is getting. They are so short that they are being shaded by the PK. Essentially its like they are a lower branch that you would of just lollipopped off because it wouldnt receive sufficient light. Thats how short they are. I got the idea last night that maybe i should harvest all of the PK a week early and leave the Erkle in there for a week or 2 extra so they could receive a good 2 or 3 weeks of good light. what you guys think?

i would definately say purple kush is one of the most potent indoor purple strains if not the most potent. it is ridiculously potent. even the heaviest MJ users will acknowldge that. not saying it is the most potent strain. but it definately deserves props.

i feel like chopping all of my PK down. They look so yummy. I know i should let them go for a couple more weeks. But i feel like i cant wait that long. They are in tremendous danger of being slayed. Alot of the pistils are beginning to turn orange but more than half are still white. I want to cut soooo bad. What should i do?

 

[rbahadosingh]

i know soem of you are probably wondering why i wanna chop early. this next week we are going to have a heat wave in and everyday the temps are going to be in excess of 90. tomorrow and tuesday they are going to be over 100 and i know all week they wont be getting any co2 and i feel like more harm will be done if i just let them be rather than cut them. the temps will be too high and they will just be stressed. so i feel like it makes more sense to just chop. any opinions?

I just started my grow. I have 64 plants in 4" rockwool ontop of a coco mat in a 4x4 sun hut under 1000w air cooled HPS. Also im using a Sentinel CHHC-1 controller for co2 enrichment and management. Its Hooked up to 15lb co2 tank and exhaust fan. Ive done sog a few times in soil and decided it was time to try hydro. The strains ive chosen are Purple Kush from Blue Sky coffee shop in oakland and Purple Erkle from the purple heart in oakland. I hope to yield 640 grams. Hopefully my goal isnt too high. What do you all think the total yield will be? I plan on vegging for about a 5-7 days just to get the roots going into the rockwool blocks pretty well before i switch to flower. I will be using co2 with the ppm set to 1500. If temps reach 89 the co2 will stop and the exhaust fan kicks in to cool down everything. I will be running the light at night in order to try and keep the temps as low as possible. Im using GH Micro and GH Bloom nutes. 8ml per gal of micro and 16ml per gal of bloom.

I would try to do an air exchange at around 85! Co2 allows a 5-7 increase in temps if running 1500 ppms! with proper nutrition and an even canopy, i would predict at lease a gram a watt! Cant wait to see what happens!

hey dude, nice grow. I also grow PK and I never pull it before the tenth week. the hardest wait in the world, man. pull only half if you have to pull any.

Just wait........the heat and no Co2 won't cause any harm that will kill them they will still keep maturing....

[rbahadosingh]

Nice thread bro I've read everything up to this point. definitely subscribed!

I Recently came up on (2) 3X3 Trays and (1) 70 Gallon Reservoir and going the Ebb and Flow route for sure.

I'm vegging 3 Bubba Kush since 8/26 and 1 Hindu OG since 9/06 in 4'' RW cubes. Keeping 1 BK and the Hindu OG as mother plants.. and will be Flowering 2 BK's to get an idea of how yield will be.

Great Job man!
