Week 9 of Flower and the Punchberry Cookies Rbx just about ripe at 63 days of flower today (5/12). I've never had to time a DWC bucket flush before, so going purely on instinct. Specifically, Trichomes are mostly milky with amber development. I am hoping a 3-5 day flush with ph'd RO water will bring out any potential color AND that Trichomes will continue to ripen bringing amber to about 15-20%. As for the week in review, I'd say pretty uneventful, which is good. Continued daily water and ppm level drops with stable ph range readings - zero wild swings. She's kicking up some incredibly strong smells of fruit. She's frosty and does smell a bit like Hawaiian Punch as advertised. Looking forward to completing the DWC bucket flush and harvesting the girl. She and I got off to a rocky start. Fortunate that she recovered and produced the way she did. Next couple of posts (i.e., Harvest & Cure) will end this spring 23 run.

10 Oct 2021 (start of week 14) Tragedy struck in the grow room today!! We lost a beloved companion in the form of a whole branch from C1. A picture has been uploaded to show the gory details. Sad day; sad day indeed! Imagine my surprise today when I look into my tent and see not one, but two branches on C1 just laying over to the side. 😳 Now imagine that when you start to lift them up and secure them in place that you notice that one is no longer totally attached to the core, but just barely hanging on, and that the end is no longer moist, but dry. The only thing to do is remove it. A whole branch, gone to soon, but probably far enough along to trim, dry, and cure! I’m trying to see the light here, but in reality I’m sad. That isn’t the only issue either. Many of the branches are getting to heavy to support themselves, and I had to do a lot of maintenance to keep everything else going as planned. All of my gardening support posts I bought the other day have now been successfully employed. The only problem that I see is that I’m going to need more! Oh well. 🤷‍♂️ Keeping with the ripening stage right now, so they all three received the same level of nutrients in a gallon of water as they did the other day. CALiMAGic 2ml, FloraMicro 5ml, FloraBloom 15ml, Floralicious Plus 1ml, and Dry KoolBloom 0.5 tsp. Initial pH was 5.5 for both C1 & C2, and 5.4 for C3. I added 8ml’s of pH UP which adjusted all 3 gallon’s pH to 6.3. I didn’t adjust them any more. TDS levels going into each plant was as follows: C1 - 1442 ppm, C2 - 1363 ppm, and C3 - 1378 ppm. Runoff levels were as follows: C1 - pH 5.7, TDS 2161 ppm. C2 - pH 5.7, TDS 2265 ppm, and C3 - pH 5.5, TDS 2391 ppm. Other than losing a branch due to weight, and having to support many others, the plants are still doing very well. Hopefully I don’t lose any more branches!! This should be the last week of nutrients, then to the flush, and harvest. Almost there, but not quite yet. Happy growing everyone! 14 Oct 2021 I had planned on defoliating the older, larger fan leaves on all 3 plants today, but some issues came up and I wasn’t able to do as much as I had hoped to do. I removed some of them, but couldn’t do it as much, or as well as I had hoped. The end of the 45 day flowering period is this coming Sunday, but I’m still using the ripening stage of nutrients this week. I’ll start flushing them in a few days. Today my lovelies received 2ml of CALiMAGic, 5ml of FloraMicro, 15ml, of FloraBloom, 1ml of Floralicious Plus, and 0.5 tsp of Dry KoolBloom mixed into a gallon of water. The initial pH for C1 was 5.5, and C2 & C3 was 5.4. I added 8.4ml’s of pH UP to each gallon which adjusted the pH in all 3 gallons to 6.4. The TDS levels going in was 1440 ppm for C1, 1464 ppm for C2, and 1503 ppm for C3. Runoff levels were as follows: C1 - pH 5.8, TDS 2194 ppm. C2 - pH 5.7, TDS 2477 ppm. C3 - pH 5.7, TDS 2439 ppm. The plants are still developing well, and the buds look awesome! The smell is very strong and amazing. So far they are doing very well, and we’re almost at the finish line. Tent temp was 82F, and humidity was 48%. See you all in a few days. Happy growing!

So far I kinda messed up getting everything done on time. Plants are harvested and in cure now. All in all, the plant would’ve had around 112g dry if I kept it all.

1.20.2024: Time to gives this a go. 2.3x2.3 tent, XS1500 light, 2 gal fabric pots. Pots filled with FFOF(90%) & Perlite(10%.) Don't ask me why I chose 90/10. Nutrents are the FF Trio. Also growing a freebee seed from Humboldt Seed Co(Emerald Fire OG Auto.) Decided to germinate directly into the medium. Light is at 50% power at 2.5ft from the top of the pot(s). I'll have the light running 24hrs until it sprouts(fingers crossed it does.) I sprayed the top soil with pH 6.5 water when i stuck the seeds in then placed clear plastic cups over the seed location. My 4inch fan is on the way and it comes with a monitor for temp and humidity....no idea what current stats are. Just hope the damn thing spouts. Fingers crossed. More to come. 1.23.2024: 3 days and still no sprout. Going to give it another day or two before i go fishing for them. Off to a fantastic start! 1.24.2024: They've finally popped....aaaaannnddd we're off! 1.25.2024: Took the lil domes off, opened 2/3 vents for some circulation. Been misting the top soil just to keep it moist with 6.5ph water. I also "bottom fed" 12oz of water just to keep things lubricated. On the fence about when to give the plants a proper watering. Might keep things going "as is" for the next two days. Inline fan and associated hygrometer comes tomorrow(1.26) so i'll finally have an idea on what the current stats are in the tent. Will make adjustments at that point in time. Light is 2.5 ft from soil at 50%. 1.26.2024: Inline fan came yesterday. Only set up the probe just to understand temp and humidity. With the light at 50%, 2 ft from the soil, all vents closed except one(1) port at the top, my current temp hovers around 79 and the RH is 50%. After setting up a humidifier, i'm now running 75 degrees, 64% RH and VPD .58. All within tolerance. I can already tell it will be a delicate dance managing heat, exhaust fan speed and humidity. Still haven't given the plant more than 2 cups of water and i'm only watering when the soil is dry. Tomorrow(1.27) marks 1 week since the seed was dropped. Plan is to lightly water the entire pot when dry for the next week or until growth really kicks in.

When we had so many problems with the other two strains. This strain keeps pushing out buds like the little engine that could. Closest to the light, it handles heat and light way better than her counterparts. It also has some major trichome formation starting covering the entire top leaves. It is starting to smell and form real compact dense buds, although not very pronounced yet. We shall see but she promises to deliver some nice danky bud after all. Nice to see she still pulls together, also nice to see how different this strain behaves from others I have grown. Time will tell the total tally... We shall see if there is a Silverback in the making, but at least she is not staying behind any more. Also here, 3 to 4 more weeks... Cant wait! Thank you for checking in! More budshots follow of this one! Hug Bud

This harvest was my first true harvest. I worked on coco choir for the first tiem and it was really easy and I will work again in the future with coco choir and fabric pots. The strain was really easy to grow and could handle stress pretty well. I would advise against transplanting and maybe giving her less N during early flower. I am really proud for this girl! I cant wait to smoke her. edit: Dried under the sun and smoked just to test it with some friends and we all loved it. Strong taste and smell and a very strong sativa high the rest will cure for a month after drying. I will do another smoke report in a week!

Week 10 - - - - - OMG she got frosty!!!!!!!!!!!!! She smells so beautiful! So Citrus! So Lime!! 😂 😍 This week I have added a couple of grams of 20-20-20 fertiliser to her water. For a few weeks now I've been loosing a lot of lower leaves. They turn yellow and fall off. I did send the growcaps rep a pm a couple of weeks ago now asking about the active length of growcaps but it's gone unanswered..... so I took things into my own hands. She seemed to like the boost in nutrients with the amount of frost on her and not dropping any leaves. I do think the growcaps worked very very well at the start but I think they need to make them last a few weeks longer.

I've overwatered my plants the past 2 times, so I let them go through the whole drying cycle which took all week. I'm feeding them tomorrow morning. I put up my trellis and trained a couple branches and tops are already evening out. I also battled some fungus gnats this week.

12.5 - F60 - another couple dark cycles and she'll get the big dark and chop. Really excited, such a loverly plant and the way the calyx started stacking up in the past couple weeks has been neat. I frequently see people harvest very round buds off this plant, so I'm curious to see how she looks all trimmed up.

Purple galore! I am really excited about this strain, can't wait to see the final product! I have used a couple of BuildASoil products, and they have both seemed to help tremendously. Today is day 49 from seed, so about another month and they should be ready to go. I hope so, because I'm going on vacation in July so they have to be done by then. Overall, extremely happy with this grow, just waiting patiently for the results.
