Purple Punch - fast buds in hempy

UPDATE - MONDAY 12th APRIL As with the other new plants all is going smooth and they are loving the humidity and humidifier. It:'s looking for but a little smaller than its sisters! PLEASE HIT THAT FOLLOW BUTTON! It would Really help me out regarding sponsors etc. I know my old diaries aren't up to PAR (pardon the pun)but I'm getting better and better with every new grow I undertake!

Update -thurs 15th April All doing good now I have a proper nutrient regime I understand. I love hempies and I found some great square flower pots that haven’t yet been drilled out which will be PERFECT for transplant. Looking forward to them getting to the res! Update - Monday 19th April Lookin a little scraggy. Either over or under feeding. Thinking it’s under, so I added a bit more nutes. Also I realised I had my humidifier going in the dark period so iv made it so it turns off at the same time as the lights coz perspiration goes up at night anyway

Update - This week has been good. Obviously it’s been put into an 11l hempy as that’s what would fit and I had to hand. Literally just using rocks at the bottom for the res now. Seems to be working so why not - it’s a lot cheaper and when your talking about 2” of space to fill in a 25 litre square tub it adds up I can assure you. If I lived by the sea I’d go steal some pebbles and rinse them for days and use them!

Update - Monday 3rd May There are still some weird rust markings on the older leaves but the new growth looks healthy as hell. It doesn’t look too bad, probably needs a microbe feed tonight. Last couple feeds I have just given water for a bit of a flush but iv not been doing it to run off just refilling the res at the bottom so not a ‘flush’ per se but more of a diluting. Anyway like I say new growth looks good and I’m LST’ing it now so we shall see how it ends up. It’s certainly one of the more skinny grows just as much foliage as it needs to photosynthesise but no more. More lanky than the others. Really reminds me of Fastberry, wouldn’t surprise me if it had some of the same genetics. It’s just the structure Is different. Also I plugged my hygrometer back in and plugged my humidifier into it. Unfortunately it’s a shitty Chinese piece of crap off eBay that came with no instructions and makes no sense. Got nowhere with the seller he kept just assuring me he had sent the instructions by message when he obviously hadn’t. Why make a product and then not let people know how to use it. Some of those Chinese items are barmy! But even though I’m not entirely sure what it’s ever going to do, it keeps it at a better RH than the timer I had it plugged into before.

I think I managed to miss quite a few weeks of photos for this plant but it’s still going. I will upload as many as I have and then jut take loads more now it’s budding but I might have to skip a couple of weeks unfortunately. Tbh it didn’t go purple really as I grew a plant that likes cooler weather in the middle of a heatwave! The big lemon pie auto has more purple flowers than the purple punch. It’s just the smell of the PP that’s crazy. It’s like purple bubblegum

Update - Friday 18th June Ok so I missed a few weeks of photos but the plant seems to be doing beautifully today. Not the biggest plant in the world but the nugs are so sticky it’s crazy considering two plants are sharing a 100w COB in there that I’m not even sure is working at 100% so it’s pretty incredible really

No real complaints other than my disorganisation! This purple punch smells amazing. You can def smell the limonine or however you spell it but it’s totally different to the lemon pie. For some reason my profile page doesn't seem to be updating but keep checking back

Update - buds are firming up a bit but she is just so shiny. Truly coated in resin. Looking so good. I just don’t want to make the mistake of harvesting too early again.

Update - 3rd July This plant looks beautiful, i ust admit, however, it is not the colour i was expecting of the buds. The leaves are fading beautifully. Going hues of red, orange, purple but the buds are bright green. I thin, had i had an active intake, like it will this time would have sucked in the cold air at night time. I think, for me, the red, purple and pink plants are REALLY helped by that cold air swing during night time. I havnt yet cut a hole in the door to screw in a vent for extracted air, so atm its all going into the grow room so i have to have the door open. I will try and get some macro shots with my microscope in a bit but its SO fidddelly! Roughly 1 out of 20-30 shots are useable! Iv just been giving her plain water for about a week or so now and the colours have really come out! Cant wait to dry, cure and smoke away! a while away but i will sneak a cheeky bud after a couple of weeks of curing! I need more jars and more boveda packs. They are great i think. They do their job really well having first been invented for cigar humidors etc.

To be honest, I should have just done 4 plants instead of trying to cram 2 plants in smaller pots (11L) into the small ‘veg’ tent or small tent. Obviously this will be updated with better pictures once I have edited them. I got a new lens also so am pretty happy with them. At least I’m very happy with the Purple Lemonade photo’s, I’m not entirely sure about the Purple Punch though!
