Absolutely beautiful... :giggity:
I have one question though. I've noticed that there are a few people on these forums who seem a little obsessed with the purple strains. Can you tell my why? Is it purely aesthetics, or do purple strains have a particular taste or aroma?
I remember smoking some purple weed about 6 or 7 years ago and it had a very distinctive taste and aroma that I liked (like Parma Violets, if you know what they are).

My purple strain has a very sweet and fruity. The taste is also very sweet and sometimes you can taste a little bit of berry. Its also a very smooth enjoyable smoke and i rarely cough even when taking big old bong tokes. Its way more enjoyable to grow, than to smoke though. The beautiful aroma takes over the other plants in the garden and it just looks so exotic next to my other plants. I just look at alot of other growers gardens and its all green!
You cant argue with the bag appeal of a bag of purps. People just look at the shit and go crazy over it. Just the color of the buds is so different. Even the cannabis butter i make from the trimmings and small buds is purple. No shit.

so basically the purple is just pretty to look at and has its own distinct smell and taste. Other than that, it grows just like any other strain.

When i did DWC hydroponics with the same strange, bud growth was different. It seemed like the calyx's got more swollen, kinda like skittles or little grapes.
If there is another grow in this same location, it will be with 5 gallon bucket monsters. I dont mind using soil but my passion will always be hydroponics. I just love having ultimate control of everything my plants take in. And with a good air pump and air stones(or whatever) you can give your roots way more oxygen than soil ever could.

... (be gentle, now!), you need a 'holdback' string, to keep the bend in place, and a 'front' string, to hold the now-sideways top in place pointing the other way.
The now-sideways top will do its darnedest to 'escape' the front string, so you basically chase it around the stalk in a spiral. It will sprout new 'tops' as it goes. Encourage this, and when those are 'old enough', tie 'em sideways, too, if you haven't already run outta 'main pot' with the mainstalk.
Do it gently, and most strains of pot love it.
