Second Grow Purple express

Well guys i checked my girls today and if am totally honest i can see a difference with splitting the stem however i shouldve did it a week ago however ive never grew these strain but nxt time i do i know more than i did before. And thts been 24hrs plus in darkness and no different but there are so many factors that can explain it. From what ive learnt tht stress or a number of reasons anyway as i had flushed them aswell just before all this i am putting it down to that and splitting the stems so close together am assuming its been alot for them and they have slowed right down so i think i will cut them down today. Got few things doing first then i will deal with this sad day for the girls but that step closer to my end goal. @dbrn32 @garrigan62 @Donaldj @M4ur @Shuggz @Kapelady

Thanks my friend one thing is one smells funny and its the one that didnt look so good as if she was burning or something like tht. Do all the plants have a hole in the stem inside it from about around were the stem goes hard to soft just after the hard stock there starts a hole in a stem not sure if it should be like tht or not as i didnt check my other plant before i put her away in card board box for a couple days before i hang them all up to dry. Or have i got all confused and done it the wrong way round. ??? @dbrn32

I don’t know, I’ve never split the stem or anything like that before.

Its not to do with tht it was in both my last grow and this one but only one i noticed this time and all 3 the last grow but thy all had issues from root bound to magnesium deficiency. But no matter i will find out at some point anyway. Thanks. One more thing have i did this back to front ive put my buds into cardboard box and a brown paper bag or do i hang them upto dry first. Or is tht 2 different methods of drying and am confusing them together. If anyone know plz tell me thanks. @Shuggz @dbrn32 @Nug-bug @garrigan62 @Donaldj @Kapelady @M4ur

Sounds good to me brother. Can you help me with my nxt grow as in can you advise me on equipment. Ive been looking around. But there are so much on offer etc and hps led mh cfl am just not sure now i have stuff here obviously but am allowed to start from scratch but i also dont want to go crazy either tho i wont ever grow any more than 8 at once but more likely max will probz only ever be 4 or 6 max but my space i want it to fit 8. The tent size i want or can have is 1.2m x 1.2m x 2m thats the only thing i can decide on now amazon has a hps 600w full kit at a ok price but is it any good. Uk is different from US aswell as alot of LEDs and other fans filter etc i can get here. Would you be kind and do me a list of equipment i need to buy to start a grow. List like a first time grower would need. Pleasse @garrigan62 when you get a min if you dont mind plz.

@Mikos i know some growers will put it in a bag to quick dry the buds
Im not a fan of that myself i also have a similar drying process as @garrigan62 does
remember the longer you cure it the better it taste to a point it will reach max potential eventually
Happy growing and you cant go wrong with garrigan65 on your team

Oh and my wet weight was 200g
@garrigan62 thanks but they arent avalible in the uk at amazon. But thy have ram and mars viparspectra the tent not tht brand

@Mikos

That’s ok just read up before you by…in other words make sure it’s what you need. Just a thought.
OH…I found this one. Just something else to mull over. ( look over )

The set up… could help a beginner (I’ve researched for the past few days 8 hours a day)
advanced growers please give your thumbs up or down
2 x 2 x 2 m tent
600w omega digital light and ballast with metal halide bulb - (I got a spare HPS so I can use it for flowering, or if this one dies)
X 2 1200w LED lights (cheap as chips on ebay, 200 dollars for the pair, we’ll see if they’re better than one 200 dollar light)
6" rhino filter - 428 m3/hour
40 x magnifier (for those final days, god willing…)
X3 Heavy duty timers for lights
Digital laser thermometer
PH UP DOWN + p h meter
clay balls for topping the soil
Canna Terra Professional Soil Mix (medium)
Advanced nutrients x3 bloom flower
thermos / hydrometers x 2 for that extra accuracy in the tent
Great White - Premium Mycorrhizae Strong Root Boost Protection
dehumidifier - (extremely important)
X 2 oscillating fans
and… of course seeds
Total about 800usd - not bad for a total set up, with the rhino keeping you safe, and the mixture of lights, i’m quite proud of this list - anyone care to add anything please go ahead - peace
Will
