Anyone had any meaningful experience with Pure Power plant? My experience has been nothing but good.High yeilds ,great cerebral buzz and quite forgiving to grow. If anyone has grown this and experienced it , how does it compare to other hybrid strains?
I have never tried growing PPP...but, StinkyAttic always said "it was an excellent strain...especially for beginners"....:thumbsup:
and you can take that to the bank...:jointsmile:
I am not a beginner by any stretch , but this strain is as friendly as I've ever tried, good yeilds ,powerful effect and long lasting, and compared to other highly touted strains ,very inexpensive.
I'm real fond of Nirvana White Widow.
i would post some pics of my PPP but I have no idea as to how.Oh well, I'm just a noob to this anyway.Posting that is a far as pictures go.
maybe this will work , it is one of the harvested buds from last year.
ive never personally grew it but I had a buddy that grew it for a co op. Some the finest Ive came across. The high was like being shot up into the clouds with a rocket ship. I wish i could get it for the rest of my life because i wouldn't smoke anything else.
im growing it at the moment.maybe 25 days to go.the buds are getting really sticky and stinky. i got the seeds in my local nirvana shop,they are dutch passion. DEEJAY ...aany tips on flushing this strain??..im coming to the end of the 6th week
I grow Nirvana's PPP. Agreed, its a keeper for me until I find something better. Yield always seems to be good. High is a bit uppy.
I see DP is recommending White Widow (yeah, baby). I also highly recommend the WW from Flying Dutchman. I grew out five femmed seeds and all were consistently great. So far, the one I kept has been the star of the stable. Everyone who has sampled my wares agrees! :stoned:
good to hear that.cant wait for harvest:thumbsup:
this plant is very forgiving to say the least. i usually flush mine about 10 days before harvest, although ,with this plant you have to let it go a bit longer than is reccomended. hope that helps. no nutes at all the last two to three weeks though.
thanks DEEJAY. they are due a feed today,and thats the last one before harvest.i was gonna wait a week but i think ill try somthing new.there starting 7th week on monday....i normally feed them every two days..if i leave feeding them water for 3-4 days over the last two weeks will this help dry them faster..or stress them out
This year let mine go for about 9 weeks before i harvested.The extra little bit of time makes a huge difference both in yeild and potency. I always cut my nutes back to about half strength in the last two weeks ,and then nothing but water for the final few days.I use all organic fertilizers so the tend to leach from the plant a bit quicker and don't leave a chemical taste.
thanks for the tips man.all ways good to get some tips from someone who has grown the strain before. the trics are still all milkey, so do you think i should wait a while longer before flushing...7th week starts monday..
also....should i give them a good trim to let some more light in to the buds...any thoughts??
I personally wouldn't flush until the beginning of the 9th week.That being said , it has been my experience with this plant that regardless of the week you're in , the plant itself will tell you what you need to know with regards to harvest. Mine are grown under 400 watt HPS in a 3 1/2 x4 1/2 grow closet .If you are using some other form of light ,I can't say how long ,you just have to look at your plants carefully and what I did this past year was wait until I thought they were ready to harvest and started my pure water only for one more week.The results were impressive to say the least.
had a friend grow it, was lanky and thin, nothing special at all, but it was possibly crossed with a couple of other strains that sure turned out nice..it's all preference..never know if you'll like it unless you try it..plenty of life left, why not, right??Quote:

i'm glad I could be of some help. as is that is one of the better strains out there. Give her the time and she will make you smile. I am the proud new owner of a hydro system (which ,by the way , i ain't real crazy about) that was given me by a fellow smoker who relayed to me that last years crop (of which he sampled) was the best he'd ever smoked.Upon trying mine , he just gave me his equipment and said that I could do better with it than he could. Right or wrong as he may be , I told him that appreciated the gesture as well as the compliment ,but i refused anything more than the compliment ,but nevertheless , he also sent me over 200.00 worth of hydro nutes to go with it.I graciously denied both and sent them back because I ain't about growing this for financial gain. I just like to see folks loving my art , and this plant makes that a quite easy task. Enjoy your crop.
he now has everything back (or actually did give me) that he wanted to give me. I am not sold on hydro although some are. Kinda funny in a way when you think about it.Normally you don't think of "old" guys smokin, but it happens.He's a nice guy that just loves to smoke and I personally think the world of him, but I grow my own way ,in soil, and I don't see the need to change when whatever I'm doing works just fine.
im of the same opinion when it comes to growing..if it works for you keep it up..some of my mates have moved from soil to hydro methods..some with good and bad results..i like to taste weed grown well in soil,its just my preference..your friend sounds cool.hang on to him..good friends are hard to come by... i cant wait to smoke this pp.you have wetted my appetite. happy growing:)
First grow started three weeks ago. Pure Afghan was a bust due to over water and ph lock out. Second round is Satori and PPP. 100% germination with the PPP and VERY healthy and agressive growth in the plants under CFL. A bit concerned because after almost three weeks the plants are less than 6" in height although they have three sets of alternating leaves!!. Are the lights too close perhaps? They are in soil, ( Stinkys recipe) but in a very hot atmosphere (85+-). Just started to show sex signs at the nodes but I need a scope to read them. Maybe I sould start a thread as I have learned quite a bit reading the adventures of others. Thanks and Props to you all.
You really need to lower those temps a bit .You will absolutely fall in love with this plant once you've grown it a couple times. It seems to have varied spurts of growth as well as flowering , but the yields are well worth the wait.This one seems to have it all , including fantastic taste ,potency and ease of cultivation.You will probably be a lifelong grower of it after this experience .By the way , all organic fertilizers seem to give the best results. Happy growing!!
That is the sole reason right there that I got it. I remember her saying the same thang! Now if I could only get a chance to grow it lol.:jointsmile:Quote:

I found it uplifting for my depression. Did I phrase that right?
You said it right. I love it when fishing or going to a football game or just piddling around in my shop. I personally don't care much for the couch-anchor type of smoke unless it's at night when I'm totally done with my day.This will be my third year growing Pure Power and as far as I know , I'll grow it from now on.
I was hoping someone had posted somethin about this bud here.
I've grown it a good many harvests and the only hybrid that even comes close to PPP when it comes to friendly growing tactics and potency is early girl.
Early girl in my opinion is the best hybrid around.
Extremely short grow time, very high potency, high average yield.
power plant from dutch passion was the stinkiest cured bud i have ever smelled. 100 % african sativa. ppp is nirvana. nirvana is accused of taking strains and crossing them with their potent skunk. so they make knock offs and sell decent strains cheap.
meded so you can mededicate to mededitate
Hey,
Ive grown DP Power plant hydroponically and got 27 z from a 3 X 5 closet w/ 1000 W HPS.
This strain is very effective and even though not using RO water or organic nutes, still tasted very pleasant.
Power Plant was also the strain used in that 8400w-400 clone coco slab, drain to waste setup that AVGD 1.5 G/W. They got 25 or 27 lb's off of 8400w. NO CO2!:thumbsup: That's all i know, is it supposed to be a pretty high yeilder, i don't think ive ever smoked it. And i didn't know it was a Pure sativa. Learn somethin new everyday.
It actually is not pure sativa , it does have some indica but not much from what I understand.
Power Plant
This lovely specimen of Power Plant was picked up at Green Light Collective in San Diego California who just so happened to be featuring two versions of this strain that day. When faced between Hydro and Soil I had to go with the chem-fertilized (House and Garden) version this time around. I am sure glad I did as this stuff was very nicely flushed and cured and there is no trace of any chemicals remaining. This local grow lasted 9 weeks and the final product is some very fine Cannabis indeed.
As soon as you open the jar, a pungent, lemony, ammonia smell escapes and permeates all around you. When smoked, that same sweet, delicious taste comes back to haunt your taste buds on the exhale. When Vaporized the vapor is much more harsh and will certainly make you cough with a big enough hit. It may make you feel like you took in a chest full of tear gas but it tastes like you've been eating lemon slices after you recover. And the effects? Much more sedative than when smoked by my analysis.
When smoked, I found myself wide-eyed and bushy tailed, ready to attack some yet unforeseen challenge. The first 15 minutes or so, my thoughts were slightly disrupted and foggy but that cleared shortly thereafter and was replaced with intense focus. I was so energized I decided to get off the couch and clean my whole office. I would HIGHLY recommend this medication for morning sessions as an outstanding compliment to your coffee or tea. If you are suffering from insomnia do NOT expect Power Plant to soothe you to sleep, as you should find quite the opposite effect. After some mild research I can understand why. For those curious, Power Plant is an 80/20 (roughly) Sativa dominant strain cultivated by Dutch Passion in 1997 from South African genetics.
Overall, I would highly recommend this to all you Sativa lovers out there or anyone else looking for a boost of energy when your ailments may have you feeling down and a bit unproductive.
according to dutch passion pp is 100% sativa never inbred. ppp however is a totally different story, like said nirvana makes quality knockoffs...joey weed makes quality f2's both are cheap.
I am growing Nirvana feminized PPP under (2) 400 watt mh for veg and 4 hps for flower, in organic soil. Mine are about 3 weeks from harvest at this point.Quote:

Around week 4 they suddenly started going crazy! an 1/2 to an inch a day until they reached around 16 to 18 inches, and extremely bushy, thats where I decided to put them into flower ( around week 6 to 7). Now they are 36 + inches and just as big around, with buds everywhere.
I think relatively colder night temps and a high ph ( 7.0) might have contributed to my problems, as it was soon after I remedied these that they started to grow.
Also I had them planted in rather large pots (3 gal and 5 gal ) and I think that all their energy was going to the root developement rather than leaf developement.
I'm looking forward to trying it out, its all I can do to refrain from trimming some undeveloped bud just to see what I have :)
One thing that happened to me this past season was something I've never had a problem with .....mold. I have no idea why I had this problem on those big beautiful babies . If anyone has any ideas I would be most appreciative.I caught it in time and removed the damaged parts before it had much of a chance to spread, and luckily the balance of the plant was perfect.
I just purchased a 90w self cooled LED light. Good enough for 2 plants?
Deejay is there water that sits anywhere in your grow room? What is the humidity like?:hippy:
New to the LED lighting game. Any tips?
I use HPS lights and I really don't think humidity could be the problem , because it neer has been ,but I know things change. LEDs are new technology and I am pretty sure they have merit , but I just go with what I know has been totally proven. I've never been a good gambler ,so I stick with the proven. Sorry I couldn't be of more help ,but I really have never tried LEDs
