Poppy - Purple OG Punch Auto [G2]

@Grow4Releaf, yea they are as good a grower as a photographer it seems, stiff competition indeed!

@UnorthadoxDude, Holy God u weren't kidding . That's a beefy one . Thx for sharing that !!

@Grow4Releaf, thanks mate! There are some other really good diaries around this strain - like this one: growdiaries.com/diaries/159656-grow-journal-by-sensimillap stunning photos. :) If you are into these beans check it out. :)

@MedicineMaker, one day I will be brave enough to try and photograph the roots mid-transplant. However with coco's wonderful feature of not clumping together, I have to be extremely careful when transplanting, and the younger the plant the more tricky it is because there are fewer and smaller, weaker roots to bind the medium together. It is why the timing of these transplants is absolutely critical. I don't have a set time, I check the plants every day and the transplant moment is always obvious. So Poppy's roots are approx 8cm long, to one side a branch root has hit the side of the pot and grown straight down, it has every 2mm or so and all the way down, branching roots that reach out around the pot edge up to 5cm. This is the root structure that being in a solid pot causes - if you can transplant to a large pot after this root structure has started to form, but before the roots become tangled or constricted - the plant will have many many more options to grow branching roots from, and will end up with a bigger, stronger, better organise root system. The timing is the key, and being extremely careful. It was actually Karen in week 4 that gave me the confidence to try another transplant strategy with an auto, I know a shockless transplant can be done, because I've already done it. :) So we will see. I planted her at the edge of the big pot, with the root structure I just described facing the interior so they have the entire massive pot to fill. Time will tell but I am very confident in this one. The transplant was perfectly timed and perfectly executed.

@UnorthadoxDude, The root system sounds promising! I'll be following your grow to watch the magic 😄

@MedicineMaker, yet she's doing okay. Of all the sisters I've grown so far she has the most impressive root system at 7 days that I've seen. Although with Nesia and Misty they started in final pots so unsure about those 2.

@MedicineMaker, Yeah she's coming along. :D

@SensimillaP, one of them has just started breaking ground in the last hour.

@UnorthadoxDude, yea the results are showing bro! Look like your in for a treat when there finished up 👍 rolling with some nice genetics over there at SSSC! Yer it's hard fitting it round a busy life but we'll worth it by the end! Take it easy brother 👊

@NCbud, I think it appropriate at this juncture to mention that these were supplied free by Super Sativa Seed Club as part of my entry into their photo contest for this strain. I did not grow mine quick enough and missed out on that (moving house mid grow fked me up) but I am nevertheless excited to see her develop. These are some seriously dense buds like whoa.

@MedicineMaker,Yes! I have just planted another I cannot help it it's so good. I am doing final processing now on the fully cured buds (2 months) the smell is utterly intoxicating. I will add photos of the cured buds in a bit.

@NegotiatedBubble, drying wise I was able to keep RH around 50 but temp I couldn't keep down. It ranged from 17 to 24 degrees c. To combat this and prevent a quick dry ruining my crop, I usually dry about 80-90% then dry trim/process/sort and cure in sealed glass jars with Boveda packs.

@eldruida_lamota, yes! A little time for curing but soon she will be lovely!

@MedicineMaker, I think so too. I saved one of the colas I snapped and the buds are barely formed... yet still some how rock solid and beautifully flavoured. I think each of the 4 pots left in the main tent will yield more than Karen. Poppy is looking like 150-200g but those buds are dense AF so maybe more.

@@resimax, I think she would be looking a lot better if I hadn't snapped her three largest colas clean off, or starved/droughted her for 9n days in a row, twice in 3 weeks, or left her in a tent with no lights on for 2 days, and if I had been able to continue regular training (time and space). Still she is causing me problems with my light height already, but the Knowles Sisters are the worst for that, they are going CRAZY and they will get much bigger.

@CURATI_DA_SOLO, yes! hah

@CURATI_DA_SOLO, I have gone very extreme with it, let's see what happens. 😊

@LegacyMarketFarm, greatly appreciated thank you for taking the time! I think perhaps my best training so far has been on Nesia - Fast Buds Amnesia Haze Auto. I am also very happy with Citronella training but she's a photo so its easy.

@@resimax, thank you! :)
