Grandaddy purple @Budgrows

96 days from seed too final count down. I’m using mars hydro tsw 300 watt, I’m going to open tent door tonight and see if I can pull on the cooler side hoping I can get some color out of it. I used PH perfect advance nutrients, grow, micro, bloom, and last but not least Bud Candy.


Also I have a 4” Vivosun exhaust system with 4” filter here is my final product. Hoping I can get some color out of the Buds here are some pictures

A GDP bud from a recent harvest.

She was cut the day of the pictures which was 82 days from flip.

Did you stop feeding her?

Lots of white pistols still.

@beardless @GreggT , yeah I stopped feeding them when I top dressed with ffof 3 weeks ago I let it go with out water for 3 days it shriveled up started turning yellow leaves then I started water again, I do see some white hairs left, the trichomes are cloudy I’m going too leave tent door open starting tonight so it can get some cool air

Sorry about that it’s photo 96 days

@GreggT @beardless, what should I do keep watering? That would be a great help I’m listening need you guy’s help

I would keep watering. I think she has at least 2-3 weeks left, if not more.

@ Gregg T okay I’ll keep watering

@GreggT @beardless I’m going to keep watering should it be every other day? Or stress them for 3 days and then water? What should I do for lower buds that the pistols are done? If you need a pick I’ll take another 1, pistols are red? Thanks y’all first photo.

Water every 2-3 days as the soil dries. If you are sure they are done, clip them off. No harm in a staggered harvest.

It should also be fed a late flower supplement. It needs something to support its final stages of bud development.

Is the 96 days the total number of grow days?
On what day was it flipped?
On what day did she have buttons / cotton tufts.

@beardless 1/5/23 seedlings, and flipped 1/31/23 can’t remember buttons, finishing nutrients I have Bud candy what do you recommend? Thanks

So jealous. Wish my GDP had buds like that. 5 weeks in and here is where I sit. She is pretty but not awesome.






Using kool bloom 2-45-28 and superthrive foliage-pro 9-3-6 1/4 tsp each and 1/4 tsp cal-mag. I had a bad pH problem. Lights are 1 king 2000 and 1 king 1000. And yes I know I’m not getting anywhere near the 2000 or 1,000 but that’s what I have. So getting er it now. Any advise let me know

Your buds look amazing growmie. I’m not familiar with your nutes but I would say the biggest impact on bigger yield is going to be investing in a quality light.

That is a combined 565w. The 1000 is 185w and the 2000 is 380w. That should be enough light for 3-4 plants. Keep the temps and humidity in check and use DLI to make sure you are pushing her during veg. Next grow should be better.

Thanks for the wattage on those I had no idea I just heard that it was not what it says it is. I would really like to be able to grow bigger buds. I do leave the lights on both switches for veg and flower so I can give my plan as much light as possible.

I plan on getting a better light in the future. But on a budget starting out this grow I had to go with the cheaper light. And then I upgraded to the next light thinking that it would give me what it says. Anyways I still need to find the best light I can for the best price. I am 65 so just live off of social security. Not a lot of extra income here. Thanks for your help I appreciate it. Also I just noticed the very tips of some of the leaves are black or brown. I will send a picture with this post.



DLI daily light interval got it.

Smart phones have apps to measure this. Iphone has Photone I think, I have android and use PPFD app.

I would use your lights. They are not bad. But since lighting is the most important factor, maybe find one you like and save here and there. I know that can be hard at times but it is worth it.

Sorry for jackin the thread for a minute @anon65554333
