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.
Bro I’ll say this, it’s a good thing that Punchberry was stunted in the beginning because because it would be 4x the size of the others in the tent! Love the updates because Punchberry is one I’m looking at doing.
@FrontRowAG_BrianG, you know that's a great point. Gonna flip her to flower this weekend after changing out the bucket. Thanks for the solid, it's very much appreciated.
@GrapevineGrower2, that Punchberry is a “cookies” breed…so it’s gonna stretch my friend. I’ve spent the last 2 years growing nothing but cookies types in my grow space. All of them stretch a good bit. Just the fact that they have a 63 day flower time alone tells me they’re gonna stretch good that first 10 days or so
@FrontRowAG_BrianG, I plan to top her this weekend now that she has stabilized. I was just running her too hot, so the flush and dialing back on the ppm help tremendously.
I wish you the best of luck with your growing using the DWC systems! May your crops thrive and flourish, bringing you bountiful harvests and success in all your endeavors.
