@boew777, This being my first autoflower grow I really don’t know what to expect yield wise. They look branchy for sure. With all the training the smalkercplsnt has nine nice tops growing and the biggest has 16. I’m hoping to get a decebtbyeild overall off the five, since that’s all I’m allowed by law.

Anyone that is reading, please check the pics when I update a new week. I always upload more pics. Waiting and hoping to see some purple!

Looking great. I have 5 going myself right now. Anything you can share? How did it take nutes? Growth pattern? Is it a slow veg? Etc? Not trying to interrogate, just trying to mine as much info to help me out, lol.

Hey partner! I’ve got five of these running right now myself, about 19 days from sprout. They are definitely nute sensitive. I had yellowing issues come up this week. Ph is good, looked like it needed calmag. Check out my grow see what you think.

@HolySmoke, 20” is a good rule of thumb, but this has an 8” cool tube in the hood with anywhere from 300-700cfm of air cooking through it. You can actually hold your hand 5” under the light as long as you want, it won’t get uncomfortable.

@HolySmoke, I just noticed there’s a typo on the lamp distance. It’s 18”.

@Asegrower, yes, I read that in your diary. You also said it has a dimmable ballast, correct? What setting do you have it on? At this point in time the lower the better. I've got a 600w and am running it on 250w for the first few weeks. At that distance and on 1000w it may contribute to some of the issues, but that's why I ask.

@HolySmoke, it’s not dimmable. The leaf cupping was caused by the overwatering. I gave them a full 4 days until they were very dry and watered them last night. They look great. Leaf temperature 18” under my lamp is 76-77° at the hottest, usually below 75.

Growth has really taken off. Tuesday night was last water, this is Saturday so I think I’ll water tonight to keep them happy. I’m going to do 1 qt. That’s enough to get a light drain through the bottom, but only about 1/4 of what I would normally water a 5 gallon pot with. Going to wait until week 4 to feed, tentatively.

Hey there, Thanks so much for running a diary of our Purple Lemonade 🙌 Let us know if you need any assistance, we’re more than happy to help. Happy Growing !!! 🌱☘️🌴🍀🌿🌳

What wattage are you currently running?

@HolySmoke, I’m currently using a Plantmax 1000w HPS bulb with a Sun Systems Magnetic ballast.

@Fast_Buds, Thanks! I’m looking forward to this grow. It’s my first autoflower grow. Week two started today so updates are coming.
