Purple Bubba & the Old Riders of the Purple Sage
- Thread starter BU2B
- Start date
My estimated harvest weight of dried and cured flower for this grow
- 32 flowering branches (Hazel)
- 24 flowering branches (Suzie 2)
- Every two flowering branches with 6+ inches of total bud packets will weigh about 26 grams dried and cured
- 56 flowering branches divided by 2 = 28
- 28 x 26 = 728 grams dried and cured
- 728 divided by 28 (grams per oz) = 26 ounces or 1.625 lbs total

The miscount: 13 April 2022
I just realized I was counting flowering day 1 the same as the last day of pre-flowering transition to bloom. To be more accurate flowering weeks will be counted from Saturday to Friday from this point forward. Which makes today flowering Week 4 Day 5. Things are looking good and buds are just barely starting to fill in a bit. I have to really hold myself back from going photo crazy at about this point in the grow. Buds are filling in and filling out and fascinating me with every new view. So even though I was holding out for week 5 here are a few photos of the girls just before and after lights on this afternoon. Judging by flower growth at this point the likelihood of adding more time for buds to ripen is looking a bit more likely than not.

In spite of my blunders leading to a slow start, my girl is coming along nicely! Not tall but bushy with extra tight node spacing. I'm trying to get some light to the lower buds so I spread her wide. She does need a trim but I don't want to get rid of the energy producing fans until week 3 and she's only 10 days in. My 300 watts is at 21 inches since hatch so I might lower 3 inches. Last grow was at 15 inches with just minor light burn. She is fully in flower and will hopefully stretch more in the next couple weeks.

Flowering Week 5 Day 1: 16 April 2022
The tallest branch on each plant (with the exception of Little Suzie) is currently right at 55cm (22â€). They are still drinking close to 3 liters per day per tub. The original estimate for the grow shows 122 days of which 100 have passed at this point. I’m pretty sure that the 22 remaining days from the original estimate is at least 6 days short. Four weeks left is 28 days and as mentioned earlier in my estimation even 28 days is probably to soon. My best estimate for harvest date is somewhere between 28-52 days from today.
The slow defoliation of leaves in prep for ripening and harvest starts tomorrow.

Buhda thanks for stopping in and showing us your grow. Bowhunterwoody is right though, the last pic is of a male plant. When you finish up this grow I'd like to suggest that you start your own grow journal. To do that you need to click the Make A Post button at the top of each page. The GWE community is GR8 and will do all they can to help, offer advice and suggestions AND are good enough to pat you on the back when you do well and point out possible errors and fixes for the future when things go pear shaped. Hang in there and Happy Pharming!

Photo Update: 17 April 2022
Before I post the pics I thought you would find this interesting : https://www.marijuanamoment.net/dea-...eed-thc-limit/ A good friend sent me the link and story and I'm more than happy to share it with you. If you're ordering your seeds from out of the country... this pretty much insures that customs will stop tossing seeds and sending letters.
I though maybe it was time for an alternative view of the girls. They really are not as full as they appear from the top. Each branch has space for it's own tube of light to surround it so that light can get as deep down into the plant as possible; in this case, that's all the way down to the main and side branches. Bud development is much quicker on the Purple Bubba (Hazel) than on the Platinum Purple Kush. It's pretty important that Suzie 2 stays as open as possible as she is a medium producer and can use all the help she can get.
The light is currently 38cm (15") from the tallest branch. and... here are the girls: Flowering Week 5 Day 2
NOTE: BU2B'S PPP METHOD V2. has entered Release Candidate 1 stage. Release date still set for mid May.

I know it's not christmas but found myself humming this tune this afternoon...
a tune about love
White Wine In The Sun - Tim Minchin
A sentimental song about christmas. This version is taken from the Australian 'Ready For This?' DVD. Every year, all proceeds from the sale of (either version of) this song during the months of November, December and January, go to an organization which supports children and/or adults on the autism spectrum.
