Hey thanks for the note how did you like your berry ryder at the end? Any purple or color change? I have yet to see anyone experience it.
Yes, it started turning purple at the end, but just the tips of the top colas. I grow on 24/0 so some people have suggested that might be why. Swampman or whatever his name is these days grew out a gigantic BR a while ago that went very purple. The smoke was awesome, very heady high and got me motivated to do stuff instead of sitting on the couch all day.
Also, I asked the breeder about harvest times. They replied that the advertised 80 days refers to days from when they first show sex, which puts me around day 110 for harvest. That also puts my previous Berry Ryder at around day 95, which is actually when I cut her. Everyone knows these timings aren't exact but I suppose I've been on the fence about total grow times based on a few different explanations.
Day 50 Update - Week 8 - The last 5 days have seem some decent bud growth and development. I'm expecting another week of bud growth before the swelling starts up. Soil PH continues to sit at 6.5 and I've upped the nute dosage to 2/3 strength: 2tsp Big Bloom, 1.3 grow big, 1.3 tiger bloom, .25 beastie bloomz & 1 tso cal/mag. Some leaf tips are just now starting to show some burn so will keep it @ 2/3 for the next week I think. Watering is still every 3-4 days. Next watering will be plain water followed by 1-2 more full range nute feedings for the week.
I'm having an issue with little gnat things so I put up some fly paper. They appear to be coming through my house window screen, and not from my soil so I haven't done anything to the plant yet. Keeping an eye on them for now.
Most of my pics came out pretty crappy this week... gotta look into that a bit more.
You'll notice my canopy is kinda high lol, but it's pretty level. Next time round I'm gonna start earlier & get that main stem to run along the container wall.
