Hey now, hope everyone is having a great weekend. This Purple Punch didn't break soil until 4 days from getting wet. I ended up with a slightly mutated Purple Punch Seedling as she has 3 Cotyledons instead of 2. I have friends who have had this and they told me they turned out just fine yield and terp wise just really based more on the phenotype than the fact that it was genetically mutated. She is in a Solo Cup in ProMix/Perlite under the Spectrum X at 30% Power which is 230 Watts in V1 or Veg Mode. Very happy so far with the light as it is keeping all nodes tight and all leafs green and pointed upwards. I will also this Purple Punch's roots to fill the solo cup and then I will transplant her into a final 3.4 gallon airpot and hook her up to an auto feeding halo coming from a reservoir. When a plants roots are just fertigated in soil they are lacking in oxygen until some drying takes place. In Coco Coir, they have the perfect ratio of H20/Oxygen just after watering and as long as the Coir stays somewhat saturated. This is why high frequency fertigation pays off in coco coir. My plan is to top her one time by day 28 or so at the latest, or at least before she starts flowering, so whatever node that will be depends on her growth between now and then. Thanks for stopping by, be safe and Blaze On!

How Interesting! So we both use part of the GH flora line. I’m gonna have to look up what ya mention above and put that into my spread sheet. Lovely details. Thanks for posting! 🙂💚
@Canna96, omg yea strain 6 has been insane. Just about to update the final weeks and harvest for that plant now. I was stuck in trim jail forever so haven’t been on too much! Love the girls above. And the tomato plants!!!
So Interesting about the leaves. I hadn’t realized that most of strain 6 was 3 leaf fans, or 5 at the most. Lol. I love all the little genetic differences we can find along the way of growing. Hope you having a great one! 😃
Dope notes! For seedlings, I use my "Cup Inside of a Cup" method:
Two "solo" cups, with the 1st solo cup's bottom removed and then the remaining cone is sliced in half. From there I fill the 2nd cup with about an inch of aquarium gravel and insert the two halves from the 1st cup (to make a cup inside of a cup).
When transplanting, I remove the outside cup and then place the plant into the hole. Then I gently slide out each half of the inside cup. One thing to note is that the new Solo cups have a weird shape that is not good for cup in cup. I had to switch to an off brand like Hefty.
Another cool thing is that I can check the progress of the seedling by briefly separating the two cups to check for root growth in the aquarium gravel.
@Canna96, I just added some photos to my Germination week diary. I planted clones in their final flowering containers this around, so I do not have any live examples to show unfortunately.

@NegotiatedBubble, Hey now, I have heard of that technique but never tried it, do you have any pictures of the two solo cup technique? I want to try it but not really sure how to set it up...If there is any way to shave off even 24 hours in the seedling stage of an auto grow auto grow I am all about it....
