Frozenguy's organic closet, 250W MH and a Purple Kush clone

[Frozenguy]

I haven't been able to grow for a couple years until now.

This is an organic grow, strictly for personal use as I go through school. It's much cheaper for me to grow my own medicine as all of you know. I also find it to be more safe and possibly healthier because I don't use chemical ferts.

I really missed gardening and I'm very glad I'm back into it, even if its on a scale never attempted before.

I have a Hydro farm 250W MH unit that I converted into a remote ballast so I could run the lamp in my air cooled hood that I have glass for and 6"vents on each side.
I have 1 Purple Kush clone that I was gifted from another patient friend of mine that mentioned it was from up north, from SR-71.

I planted it in a 3/4 gal pot of soil. The soil is a mix of FFOF, FFLW, additional perlite, EWC, and dolomite lime.

After a week or so I decided I would need to LST, a technique I have never used. Thanks to icmag, I think I made a good first attempt.

I've been using the veg tea from recipe #3 outlined in organics for beginners by BurnOne in the organics forum.

I flipped the lights to 12/12 on Dec. 7th and about 2 weeks later I switched to the flower tea from recipe #3.

I always used a pH pen in my coco/dripper and soil/PBP grows but in this organic grow, I haven't used it once.

I'll have current pics of it tomorrow, but here are some of it from veg up to a week into flower, going from 3/4 gal to 3 gal to 5 gal.

Oh, I cloned it three times (one for a mother, two for follow up flower plants). All three have rooted, just planted into 3/4 gal pots recently. I'll get pics of those soon too.

Here it is as of today, 33 days old.
Click on them, they get bigger.


Here are the three PK clones, and a trainwreck clone I also got gifted, that I have started LST on.
One of the PK clones will be a mother, the other two are in LC's mix to be flowered.


The PK buds have a great purple smell, I can't wait to harvest!!

Here is an update, the PK is at day 50. I was hoping to let it go to 65-70 days but I spotted some PM and may just pull it down at about 56 days.

And here is a nug of some smoke that I've been puffing on for a bit.

Hey folks,
the purple kush has been curing, the final dry weight came in at 137[g] of some great purple smoke. Not all of it was purple, but a good majority of it. And not as much pm as I thought!

I ended up letting it go for 66 days. Here it is after about a 1 month cure. Yes, I have been smoking it this whole time , so not all 137g got cured this long. I must say, the purple taste/smell really comes out now and it is mighty fine.

Stopping by a bit late...but damn bro, that nug looks mighty fine!!
Props on the grow!!

Hey kmk420kali, thanks! I appreciate it, this was my first time growing out purple kush and she seemed to do quite well. Not as much yield as I would of liked, but a good smoke.
Thanks for stopping by!!
