Grow # 28 - Purple Punch Auto

Welcome Back fellow growers for the start of Grow # 28. Since I've been growing for a little 3 years now and have had much success, I decided it was time to do some upgrading, kind of like a treat to myself for winning awards and having successful harvests, so this grow will feature a completely new grow setup than before. I decided to go with Fastbuds Purple Punch Auto. This is a giant autoflower that reaches 150cm and produces massive yields of up to 600gr/m2, a modern Cali strain that offers what a top-quality Indica-dominant hybrid should; nugs capped in resin with the density you would expect from Indica-dominant strains and that bag appeal that will surprise even the most experienced growers. Expect beautiful purple and magenta hues that come along with a sweet almost pastry-like taste and, thanks to the 24% THC, a very pleasant and potent effect that surprisingly starts as a motivating high and in no time relaxes you completely, taking a bit of the energetic edge off. Now before I get started with the germination process down below will be a list of the equipment I'll be using : AC Infinity CLOUDLINE T4, Quiet 4” Inline Duct Fan with Temperature Humidity Controller AC Infinity CLOUDLAB 642 Advance Grow Tent, 4x2 AC Infinity RAXIAL S4, Inline Booster Duct Fan 4” with Speed Controller AC Infinity Flexible 4-Inch Aluminum Ducting, Heavy-Duty Four-Layer Protection, 8-Feet Long VIVOSUN 300W LED Grow Light Full Spectrum with Double Switch VIVOSUN 300W LED Grow Light Full Spectrum AC Infinity Air Carbon Filter 4" General Hydroponics pH Control Kit General Hydroponics FloraBloom 0-5-4 General Hydroponics FloraMicro 5-0-1 Botanicare Cal-Mag Plus 2-0-0 Fox Farm Happy Frog Organic Potting Soil Mix Pro Cal HGPK2PHD Premium Nursery Pot 4x 6-inch 2-Speed Desk Fan with Clip and Fully Adjustable Tilt Ruolan PH Meter Monday, ‎June ‎14, ‎2021 The seed was placed in a shot glass of water that had a ph of 6.29, I'll come back in 18-hours to see if it's dropped to the bottom of the shot glass. Tuesday, ‎June ‎15, ‎2021 Checked on the seed late this afternoon and after a slight tap from the finger, the seed floated right to the bottom of the shot glass. Wednesday, ‎June ‎16, ‎2021 The seed has been soaking now for 48 hours and is cracked open and showing a taproot. I then placed the seed inside a moist paper towel, that was put into a plastic container, inside of the grow tent. I'll come back after so many hours to make the paper towel is still moist and to check on the taproot to see if it's long enough to go into the soil. ‎Thursday, ‎June ‎17, ‎2021 Mid-morning I checked on the seed and the taproot had already grown to about 1cm long so it was transplanted into a 1.7-gallon plastic pot with Fox Farm Happy Frog Potting Soil, then I lightly watered around the area where the seed was planted with water that had a ph of 6.12. After that, I place the pot in the tent with the lights off until I see something peeking through the soil then I'll turn on the lights. Throughout the day I'll check on them to see if the topsoil is still moist if not I'll lightly mist it again. ‎Friday, ‎June ‎18, ‎2021 Within 24-hours the seed has popped above the soil. The true leaves are still too though small to start counting days. So far the new AC Infinity setup has been perfect, keeping the temp and humidity right where I need it to be. ‎Saturday, ‎June ‎19, ‎2021 Not much to report today the seedling is doing great, the environment has been perfect, the temperature has stayed at a steady 79℉ and the humidity has been between 55-60%. WEEK 1‎ Monday, ‎June ‎21, ‎2021 (Day 1) Today officially starts Day 1 for the seedling. Everything seems great, I did notice a little bit of stretching but nothing alarming and it has seemed to stop. The seedling is being misted about twice a day with ph balanced water, just to keep the topsoil moist. ‎Wednesday, ‎June ‎23, ‎2021 (Day 3) Seedling is doing wonderful and not much to report, took height measurement today. ‎ Thursday, ‎June ‎24, ‎2021 (Day 4) Seedling received its first watering today, I gave the little lady 250 ml of water that had a ph of 6.35 ‎ Friday, ‎June ‎25, ‎2021 (Day 5) Woke up today to one happy seedling, seems the seedling responded very well to its first watering and is praying to the lights happy as can be. I also cleaned the tent this morning to make sure everything stays nice and clean and pest-free. Saturday, ‎June ‎26, ‎2021 (Day 6) Not much to report, check on the seedling once today, everything is still going well. Sunday, June 27, 2021 (Day 7) Last day of Week 1 for the seedling and I must say that I'm very pleased with how things have been going so far, and even more pleased with how the new setup has been performing, I'm hoping that I can continue with keeping the environment stable so the young seedling can have optimal growth.
