Grow# 32- Purple Punch Auto

Welcome back everybody! As we start the new year I decided that I would focus more on perfecting specific strains this year to get the best quality and yield that I can before moving on to any new strains. At the end of last year I got the chance to run some of the new FastBuds Premium strains which were very impressive, so impressive that I decided to give several of them another go, but this time they'll be in bigger pots and with less plants in the grow space, I'll also be testing out a new light this grow, the VIPARSPECTRA P1000 Full Spectrum LED Grow Light. For Grow # 31 I decided to go for the knockout with Purple Punch. I grew this strain at the end of last year and it did not disappoint, I just wish I had got a bigger yield which is why she's getting another go. 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 VIPARSPECTRA P1000 Full Spectrum LED Grow Light 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 3-Gallon Premium Nursery Pot 3 x 6-inch 2-Speed Desk Fan with Clip and Fully Adjustable Tilt Vicks Filter Free Cool Mist Humidifier Ruolan PH Meter ‎ Tuesday, December 28, 2021 Today I placed Purple Punch Auto in 250 ml of water that had a ph of 6.3 to start the germination process, I also added 2 ml of hydrogen Peroxide, I'll check on it in about 18 hours (5 pm Wednesday) to see if it reached the bottom of the glass. Wednesday, December 29, 2021 This evening made 18 hours that the seed had been soaking, and after a slight tap with a spoon it sunk to the bottom of the glass. I'll come back tomorrow to see if it cracked open or if it's showing a tap root. ‎Thursday, ‎December ‎30, ‎2021 Its been over 24 hours of soaking for the seed so I went and checked on them this morning and the Purple Punch Auto looks like it wants to crack open so we'll see what happens overnight, I also need to raise the temp just a tad bit in the area where it's being stored to germinate. ‎Saturday, ‎January ‎1, ‎2022 Early this morning I went ahead and put the seed into a paper towel and container since it had been 48 hours. The seed has cracked open and is showing a tap root also. ‎Sunday, ‎January ‎2, ‎2022 Seed was placed in soil today, the tap root was 1/2 inch . ‎Monday, ‎January ‎3, ‎2022 This afternoon while misting the ladies (ph was 6.26) I noticed that the Purple Punch Auto is peeking through and could be completely above the soil either later today or tomorrow. ‎Tuesday, ‎January ‎4, ‎2022 Purple Punch Auto has break through the soil, it does still have some of the shell attached. ‎Wednesday, ‎January ‎5, ‎2022 (Day 1) I've been misting the top soil making sure it stays moist. Today was also Day 1 for the Purple Punch Auto ‎Friday, ‎January ‎7, ‎2022 (Day 3) For the Purple Punch Auto , we are on Day 3 and so far so good. ‎Saturday, ‎January ‎8, ‎2022 (Day 4) Everything is still going well for Purple Punch Auto which is now on Day 4, normally on by this time I'd water the seedling but I'm trying something new which just requires me to mist the top soil keeping it moist for the first 10 days. ‎Monday, ‎January ‎10, ‎2022 (Day 6) The Purple Punch Auto is still doing well along the environment staying very stable. ‎Tuesday, ‎January ‎11, ‎2022 (Day 7) The Purple Punch Auto is doing great as it reaches the end of it's first week. I gave it a nice mist with water that had a ph of 6.32.
