ILGM Purple Haze, Gold Leaf and Sour Diesel for Ds401:
There are times when growers tend to over exaggerate all things related to growing. They tend to buy the most extravagant tents, nutrients, and even soils for their marijuana plants. What they do not consider is different things work for various growers and plants.
Luckily, Ds401 decided to keep everything simple for his Sour Diesel, Purple Haze and Gold Leaf grow. Their grower has not spoiled these three plants as he uses the most common equipment, soil, and nutrients. He chronicled all details in a grow journal that he shares with the world today.
Read on to see what techniques Ds401 applied to make it through.
ILGM Purple Haze, Gold Leaf and Sour Diesel
ILGM Purple Haze
It is quite easy to guess that the haze smoking out of the buds is a perfect shade of Purple. What comes as a surprise is a dreamy euphoria that makes one feel they are entering a world of Technicolor and psychedelic mindset.
In turn, all these keep one uplifted and in high spirits for an extended period.
ILGM Gold Leaf
Mixing a perfect mix of Sativa and Indica cannabis genes, Robert Bergman created a strain famous for its high-yielding plants that is now known as “Gold Leaf.” This stain boosts one’s mood and produces feelings of happiness, hunger, euphoria, and even creativity.
Sour Diesel
Sometimes known as “Sour D,” this sativa-dominant strain is a top choice among medical patients. It relieves them of stress, pain, and even depression. Not to mention, the pungent and diesel-like aroma delivers an energizing and dreamy effect on smokers.

Vegetation Phase
2017-04-20
Five days ago, three feminized ILGM seeds soaked in a glass of water: one Purple Haze, one Gold Leaf and a Sour Diesel. It took them less than 24 hours to pop and transfer to a wet paper towel. After another 24 hours, tap roots at least 1/8 inch signaled that they are ready for transplant.
Ds401 transported them into 1-gallon pots filled with Fox Farm Ocean Forest soil. Two more days later, all three seedlings sprouted out of the ground.

With the lights 20” away from the seedlings, these three are reaching higher faster than expected.
The Sour Diesel even turned lanky and unstable. It resulted in needing pipe cleaners and a Popsicle stick as support.

Sprouts proliferate in a rate that it gets too much for them. Ds401 lowered the lights to 18”, but the Purple Haze needed the extra support of pipe cleaners and another Popsicle stick.

Barely a month old and all three plants are flourishing. Ranking them according to their sizes, the Gold Leaf is the biggest while the Purple Haze is the smallest. As of now, the grower only waters them, and he thinks the size difference is a result of the plants’ genetics.

Ds401 trained the plants today. First high-stress training (HST) done is called “fimming,” a shortened term for “Fuck, I Missed.” Often confused with topping, it involves cutting of new growths, instead of the internodes. Thus, this method produces four shoots from topped stems rather than two.

Three days from fimming and new growths appear from the sites where the it happened.

After the HST, comes to its low-stress training (LST) counterpart. By tying, bending and twisting some parts of the plant, growers do not hurt or induce stress instead encourage the growth of more bud sites.

Transplanting the Purple Haze, Gold Leaf, and Sour Diesel in 5-gallon fabric pots made them more prominent than before. Also, in these larger pots, they appear to be healthier and better as well.

Now that they have settled, next comes topping. By cutting in the third or fourth internode, this technique keeps the plants short and bushy. Other growers also claim it increases the yield of the plants.

Bud sites start to show themselves as Ds401 ties them down more.

All three plants came from feminized seeds. It was not a big shock when pistils came this morning.

First nutrient uptake today as the three plants prepare to enter flowering. Ds401 gave them their very first dose of Mammoth P.

The next part of Ds401’s plan that came to life today is the ScrOG (Screen of Green) net. It is a device which growers use to train plants, in a way that they dip and bend to bring the bud sites up where they can receive light. In the end, the goal is to fill all possible holes with colas and produce the illusion of a “sea of green” on the net.
