Red Pure Auto CBD® - Outdoor grow in 15L (4 gal) smartbags

[Cvh]

Hi all,

For this year I'll be attempting to grow 3 plants of Red Pure Auto CBD® outdoor in 15l (4gallon) smart bags in organic soil.

Red Pure Auto CBD®

This “pure CBD” autoflowering strain is notable for its red flowers, very low THC levels (0,4–0,5%) and high CBD content (15–17%). It is a cross between two of our own strains: Sweet Pure CBD® (SWS65) and Red Poison Auto® (SWS39).

Normally I grow dozens of plants directly in full soil so they can reach their full potential during the outdoor season but because I have contractors coming over this year I need my grow to be limited and mobile so they can be moved and hidden easily.

Lately I consume almost exclusively pure CBD only strains (containing barely any THC <1%) for health reasons. For my climate it's preferable to grow autoflowering strains.

Edit: I forgot to mention but this is an unsponsored grow. I bought these seeds myself and I have no agreements or obligations with the seedbank. My posts and experiences will be 100% objective.

@SweetApolo, feel free to add/make a post with more strain info.

And we're off to a start: a couple of days old seedlings chilling on the window still on a south facing window.

I'm curious how they look in the end! And looking forward to some outdoor pics.

Btw, why have you decided to not start them in the final pots?

Just because I can't place the large final pots indoor on my window still. They'll get transplanted very soon in their final pots way before they get rootbound.

It's been 20 days now since the last update. The contractors are (more or less) done with the work so it was safe to transplant the plants to their final pots outdoors a week or so ago.

2/3 plants are doing excellent but one have been a runt since the very beginning with weird twisting leaves and slow growth. Not sure what's up with that plant but I'll just let it go and see what comes forth of it. I suspect too cold in combination with too wet soil as a seedling the soil even turned completely green then.

The weather has changed here a few weeks ago from cold and wet to extremely sunny with around 25-30°C temperatures.

(The last one is the runt of the litter.)

The caging (stainless steel with 1cm holes) is mostly for snail/slug defence. The blue bits on top of the soil are a biological snail/slug poison.

Cheers all and thanks for looking!

Very nice setup mate, thanks for sharing... this one is going to be interesting for sure.

Your "runt of the litter" seems like it could be affected by some sort of virus. I'm not quite sure if you should keep it. Well, give a few more days and then you'll decide.

Keep us updated and all the best with it!

Thanks for your feedback. I greatly appreciate it.

It's what I feared the most that it might be viral.
I think it's indeed best to cull it then.

 

[Cvh]

So, I moved the diseased plant away from the rest and it's probably gonna get destroyed in the near future.

 

[Cvh]

But now I noticed something very interesting on inspecting the 2 remaining plants.

They're showing colours! Dark purple, reddish on the forming first buds.

This while the temperature here is averaging daily around 28-30C (82-86F) temperatures. So it's not cold induced but genetic just as promised into the strain description of the vendor!

Hi Cvh!

Yes, you're going to get wonderful purple flowered Red Pure Auto CBD® plants

About the other one, if it's sort of in "quarantine", give it a few more days to see how it develops.

All the best and sweet smokes!

Love when the calyx pop out purple in color. And specially when you have the dry buds later, feels like you have the caviar of cannabis .

 

[Cvh]

A quick update, both are doing great and growing well. One plant is significantly bigger then the other. Might be a different pheno expression I think, don't know to be honest.

 

[Mitsuharu]

Looks like you got some super fast purple pheno... If i had a male i would make a nice new strain. In my experience, purples have shorter flowering times in general and if you are lucky you can get often purple plants in the new strain.

How big exactly are they btw?

Just went to measure them. The small one is 40cm and the larger one is 50cm.

 

[Cvh]

Small update. Everything is going ok. They didn't grew much and probably won't anymore. They are around 50-60cm tall. Looks gorgeous and smells amazing at the moment.

 

[indica193]

can you show a pic of the roots after harvest?

 

[Tommy G]

Amazing colors

Lets hope the flowers get fat and compact. Sweet smokes!
