Dinafem Dinafem 2020 Grow Battle - Purps1 & Purple Afghan Kush (Only1Sky)

Day 56. Brought her out into the open for a clearer photo. Doing quite well, filling in very nicely. Using some pipe-cleaners for LST.

Day 68. Moved her into a tent that I can seal up from light -- just getting ready to switch over to 12/12 in a couple of weeks. She's still under an Amare SolarSpec SE450UVB :smoking:

Day 78. She's now at 26" height and quite bushy, so she got a bit of defoliation.

Day 88. Switched over to the 12/12 light cycle six days ago, and I can now see definite signs of pre-flower development. Now adding the Big Data component of the Prescription Blend program. Also managed to break my central stalk in two places - too aggressive resetting the pipe-cleaners to pull branches apart even more. So I've dispensed with that form of LST, bandaged up the broken stalks, and installed my Atlas Plant Trainer scaffolding. That should provide the support and separation, but without any real stress on the plant.

Day 102 for Purps#1 -- and 21 days on the 12/12 cycle. :smoking: She's survived the breaks in her main stalk, but needs watering more frequently now. I'm pleased with the quantity and quality of the bud site development.

Day 111 for Purps#1 -- and 30 days on the 12/12 cycle. Coming along slow but sure.

Day 120 for Purps#1 -- and 39 days on the 12/12 cycle. Still got a couple of weeks to go.

Day 133 for Purps#1 -- and 52 days on the 12/12 cycle. She's starting to put out a yummy smell. Yesterday she got a nice feed of ReCharge with SLF-100 in lieu of the normal Prescription-Blend bloom mix.

Well, I'm in the middle of a 3-phase harvesting of the Purps#1. Her final day (and thus the 1st harvest cut) was at 136 days since germination, 55 days in bloom mode. Final height was 35.75" (90.81 cm). She is luscious and will be greatly enjoyed. Beautiful aroma, Mostly buds with very few leaves -- so a fairly easy trim. This gal has been a treat to grow; many thanks to @Dinafem-Mark and all the good folks at Dinafem. Just sending you all love and best wishes for safe passage thru your current travails.

2nd harvest cut occurred 5 days later, and the 3rd and final another 5 days after that. Drying is complete, and the final yield is 4.1 oz (116 gr). Now its patience while they all cure for a few weeks.
