The Purple People Eater project

[browntrout]

plants are bouncing back slowly they are getting darker green now ive been foliar spraying with a light nute but they are still slow to grow. i tested the ppm & ph with the old batteries & then switched out & tested with the new batteries conclusion they had the same reading. my only guess at this point is that its the coco its a new bag it seem as soon as i transplanted everything they all started dying including all my flowering plants, today i'll go & get another bag but CANNA this time as i never had a problem with them yet & i will transplant everything today.

starting next fall im leaving coco for many reason mainly the mess & having allergies from the dust im going back to aeroponics its riskier but much cleaner.i still have my table & pumps too dug them up yesterday.

i'll post a pic or two of the progress of the plants tonight.

Good to hear the plants are coming to. As long as you buy quality soil, it'll work every time. nothing crazy expensive or anything, Pro-Mix hp or bx have always treated me very well. I haven't seen re-cycling of soil work yet, not to say that it doesn't. What ever works for the allergies man. should only take a few days before they start to bounce after a transplant.

Looking forward to seeing the puppies come around.

well just about 3 weeks veg & they are still coming along still a little light in color but bouncing back & starting to grow at its normal rate again. they will be transplanted in a few days in canna to 1/2 gallon pots, i pulled 2 of them that were'nt bouncing back too well & looked stunted so now im down to 14. i got new coco & new batteries for my ph/ppm meter so shouldnt have anymore problems....hopefully.

I'd be more favorable to the light side than dark IMO! Look great to me.

Thanks BT,
I transplanted them into 1/2 gallon pots & they're now getting 24hrs light, been doing a light foliar feed & they are now looking a lot better, i pulled the weakest/slowest plants & im now down to 9 some of them have a lot of purpling in the stem which is a really good sign for what im after (lots of color).

Good morning Icon


Looking good; I´m not big fan of coco & Hydro but It´s up to you.

I´m kind of conservative for this soil + wáter +prayers LOL

With 24/0 the plants grow quite bushy IMO. Good if you want to flip them ASAP.

I love purple/ coloured plants too, if they taste good.

I have tryed some purple with quite shitty taste.

Keep them coming.

i hear what your saying i actually tried to go back to soil recently but something in it was giving me severe allergies i do use full organic outside though.

im going to flip the lights in about a week dont want them getting very big at all & need to beat the heat before it comes. i may put them outside to flower it would make things easier for me.

this strain does taste great grapey/afghan/slight anise & sometimes black current depending on the pheno.

the best news of all is that im going to send in all the seeds i make to be givin away as freebies. depending on how many i get they will be 5 or 10 per pack.

Hey brother!

I got your DC x PPE from years ago, thinking of giving itt a whirl. Any thoughts on running her outside? What afghan did you use?

I think i told you more recent in PM some months back but can't remember, i used Lapis mountain indica & an afghan that i was told was an afghani landrace brought back to California sometime before 1992 not much info about them unfortunately....just need to be careful of mold since the buds are very dense in southern California they finish late September outdoors i know your a lot more north so im not sure exactly when it would finish were you're at....I'm thinking of bringing PPE back & putting them out there on the market I still have some & the parent seed stock as well but plan on crossing it to some very purple/red/pink PCK phenos i have going & in my vault to give it more color to really live up to its name, it will have to wait a bit but i'm thinking starting the new project later this winter although i have PPE,Urkle & PCK going now if i find something that stands out i will re-veg & use it for the project & pick up here were i left off.
