Killa's Purple: PKxPR F2

[EvilCartman]

This one was at the back of the tent...the last of the F2 beans I had. Today the girls went into the final flowering pots, and I was able to get a better look. I think *finally* there's a purple pheno in the house! :woohoo:

Haven't seen Killa 'round in a good while, hope all is well.

So, any of y'all grown any of those beans out? Is this indeed what I'm supposed to be lookin' for? She sure looks promising.

Thanks, 'Shake.
I thought I remembered you running a test log or something. :thumbsup:

I'm pretty stoked to see this girl flower. Gotta take a few cuts, too!

Visited the girls and took a few pics yesterday.

The lil' Killa Purple F2 girl is starting to show some *nice* color, @ day 17. :thumbsup: I hate trying to get a decent shot under the light, but they're not too horrible.

I retired my trusty 4 megapixel Olympus State-of-the-Art "antique" and am armed with a cheap lil' Canon Powershot 12 MP that takes *much* better pictures. :thumbsup: Isn't technology grand? The Canon cost 20% of what I payed for the Olympus back then. :upsidedow

Did Killa ever attach a name to these beans? <shrug> I see there were a few suggestions that were tossed about.
For the time bein', I'll refer to it as just Killa Purple, or KP.

Anyway, here's the pics:


I've also attached a copy of a pic from Killas' "purple" thread, for comparison. (4)
(I have high hopes, lol)

Killas' pic is at 4.5 weeks. (4)

He mentions a "dark" and 'light" purple pheno. Whichever this is, I'm likin' it. :dance:
She's gonna be right-pretty.

Got a few more pics this week.
I've really got to try and get up there during lights-out, to better capture the color. One of these days...

This isn't really a log, but I'll toss out some background so ya'll know what's what.

Trying a soil mix of 50/50 FFOF and Coast of Maine Lobster Compost. I amend the soil with perlite as needed (seat-of-the-pants style). Mixed in also is the FF Peace of Mind 5-5-5 @ about 1tbsp/5 gallons.

Using the FF nutrients @ 3/4 strength in flowering. Vegged @ 1/2 strength following the FF schedule. With the local water, 3/4 stregth comes out to about 1100-1200 ppm.
The FF solubles are also being used, but I've learned to go easy on the "Beastie Bloomz". :glugglug:
Previously, I believe I've scorched the hell out of some strains by over-doing it. (at least, that's my theory) Using the BB @ 1/3 of the minimum on the chart, now.

KP is 3.5 weeks into flower. She stretched about 20" over the first couple weeks, and has kept up a slow creep, adding another 8" in the last 10 days. Looks like she's settlin' down now, with the 3 main colas within a couple inches of each other @ 53"-55". Flowering under a single 1000 in a 4'x4' grow-tent. Running temps of 81°/70°.

That about covers it,...

On wit da show!

And the rest...

wowzzers

Approaching 4.5 weeks, she's startin' to fill-out a bit. :thumbsup:
I think Killa ran these to about 8.5-9 weeks, so she still has a bit to go. Right around X-mas/New Years, me thinks.

Managed to squeeze off a couple shots *just* as the dark period ended.

Prettiest girl in the tent... :food10:
