I'm still deciding how to go since I hand water daily..........That's a lot of fertilizer if you don't cut it down some. I'll start slow, watch the plants and let them tell me how to proceed. The other issue, where I'm a bit different, is I like to keep the Nitrogen high until week 5 or so (in flowering) so they don't yellow early. I'll just going with the flow.........

@SSHZ, you hand water daily? i might have to try that.
How many cups per plant, at this point in time and what size are those pots?
 
Yes, I basically hand water every 24-36 hours, as needed. The pots are 5 gallons, but they actually only hold 4.2 gallons of soil. It's probably 1 1/2 quarts of water each watering. It's important to note I would only do it if you are using organic fertilizer. Because the water does not run out the bottom, fertilizer could build up in the medium after a while. I do it this way so the water does not sit on the floor, attracting insects and mold. It also helps keep humidity on the low end.
 
Max, I forgot to check out the one plant, I'll do it tomorrow.
 
The plant in question has a few leaves lighter than the rest but the rest of the plant looks identical to the others.....I will say the uniformness of the Purple Runtz is amazing.....

At the end of 3 weeks, it sure does appear another defoliation will have to happen......I'll just have to show some restraint in the process to ward off any stunting of growth. Otherwise, the reduction of nutrients by about 150ppm with each watering has improved the health of this grow over some of my others. I'm also keeping a close watch of the distance between the plants and the LED's- I'm basically raising the lights right now 1-3 inches every other day.

Nice yea this app I recommend over photone, photone caps out unless you got top tier camera on your phone, mine being medium it caps out at like 750 ppfd. I found without checking them against a true par meter that ppfd meter made my plants happy and photone pissed them off lol.
 
i'll have to start researching the apps more, I looked around already but hadn't decided........
 
2 looks most gassy to me, 2
 
Max nailed it, 3 and then 1 for me......... although #5 reminds me of some Maui Wowie from the early 80's I used to get from my dentist friend. He had west coast connections, not cheap at $300 an oz 45 years ago! Well worth it though.
 
I haven't mentioned I've sprayed twice, and may still hit them with Grandevo about a month into flowering. First up was Monterey Insect spray (Spinosad), then a few nights ago I hit them with that old time spray I've mentioned in the past (alcohol, peppermint and tree oil, and hydrogen peroxide). Plants look great, no ill effects anywhere.
 
So many tops and great call on topping.first gals I’ve seen stretching out in your room abit ..looks good sshz.
 
Not sure what to make of the Rainbow Marker strain yet..........lots of variety in just 9 plants. I'm thinking I got another week or so of stretching. Let's review........which isn't worth much.

Below answers some questions.

Growing Purple Runtz​

Runtz, the mother of Purple Runtz, is an infamously difficult-to-grow strain. This cultivar requires a precise growing environment free from pests, diseases, and environmental strainors. Providing the plants with a consistent pH, ample lighting, and a diet high in macro and micronutrients is critical for a successful harvest.

In contrast, Purple Punch is an easy-to-grow strain for growers of all skill levels. When given adequate spacing and airflow, this strain produces an abundant yield of top-shelf buds. Its flowers tend to be heavy and dense, and its branches can become too weighty for the stems if they aren’t supported carefully.

Purple Runtz is a relatively easy-growing strain and is resistant to most stressors. It flowers in eight to nine weeks and produces a medium-size yield of connoisseur-grade buds. This strain may require staking, as its colas can become too heavy for the stems if they aren’t supported carefully.
 
I've done numerous Purple strains, and was disappointed most of the time........coloring was interesting, but it did nothing to enhance the buzz. This one got really good reviews up and down the line- the main issue will yield. Doubtful I'll get 3 lbs with this one..........the Rainbow Marker will yield even less....
 
I did one Purple Punch hybrid, can't remember from who- maybe Sannie (how many know of him?) or Dynasty Seeds..........I'll have to think about it some. Anyhow, a knockout indica that put me out 15 minutes after I smoked it- everytime. It was outstanding.
 
Some interesting observations this crop........I (1) lowered the ppm from the 600's to the 500's with most waterings, sprinkling in a low ppm watering with cal/mag only here and there, (2) the lights have been raised continuously as the plants stretched, and (3) cal/mag has been lightly applied at 5ml straight thru.

The effect 1) is a healthier crop overall, (2) a taller crop than usual and (3) a slight cal/mag deficiency throughout the room. I'm giving the plants a nite time cal/mag foliar feeding of 5ml (gallon) tonight after the room cools down more.

I also gave the promix a Venerate flush when I watered today.........I'll probably do a Grandevo spraying around week 5-6, since the flowering plants showed no ill will towards the spray last crop. They weren't as pretty, since the spray leaves a grey clay remainder but who cares if it works.
