Put a Banana Purple Punch Auto from Fast Buds to germinate. I was surprised to see it germinate very fast. After 24 h it split open showing the tip of the radical after another 24h I already could put it in soil. I know you should start autos in the same medium they will spend all their life in but I transplant them with success after the 1st pair of real leafs develop a bit. With this Banana Purple Punch Auto I transplanted her a little late because I didn't have beneficial microorganisms anymore and waited for the order to arrive.
The little one got comfy in her new home after like 48 h and started stretching her leafs in the sky :D All in all I like very much how she responds, her genetics are top notch. Like my Wedding Cakes Autos I transplanted her in a 19 l air pot with like 70% of Bio Bizz Light Mix Soil, 15% coco choir, 12% worm hummus and 3% bat guano. The exact quantities vary a little bit from the % above. Also the nutrient quantities mentioned in the nutrients tab are for like 1l and I always gave her at the start a little less the 1l . :D
Sooo she looked very good at the start of this week. Vigorous growth the next days and even more the next days so I topped her and took 3 leafs or so off. She responded very good and in just a little under 3 days exploded with growth on all branches. I started doing a little bit of LST at the end of this week.
Started the week very good, lush growth so that's why 1 day after I decided to do the LST to bring her in the somewhat final form. She responded very good to the trimming and LST and after 2 days she was lush and vibrant more the ever. She is a real Indica as she is so low compared to when my Wedding Cake Auto started preflowering. As you can see at the end of this week she started to form little preflowers. This is also the week when my Mars Hydro FC-E1500 arrived.
So like at the end of last week can be seen she started flowering. I defoliated her because she was bushy, LST and a little super cropping. I see the tips of the leafs turned down so i didn't gave her any more BioGrow since last week. All is going smooth and kinda fast :D. The humidity in my tent is going up because the wedding cakes are in full flower :D but no problem, I did put 2 small dehumidifiers in the tent and turned the Mars Hydro oscillating fans on almost all of the time. The fans are also new to me because i had cheap ones in the past , must keep an eye out not to give them wind burn :) . In just 12 hours i reduced the humidity from at it's peak 64% to 50% and at times a little lower then that. It is also pretty stable, except like the day i water. I am pretty pleased with that for now 😊.

Because I see a lot of clawing and here and there burnt tips i did a little flush. At the end of flush runoff at PH 6,0 ppm 1050. I like how I can play with the lights up and down to try and create the perfect amount of light for each plant. RH in tent at 48 % and stable. Must keep and eye on because of the flush :D
1/11/25
So 24 h after the flush and she is reaching for the sky. I also see very little improvements or it is a placebo effect :)) Tent temp 23C and RH 44%- 48% . New photos added :D.
1/12/25
After 48h she is reaching and preaching with her branches to the sky :D Happy and growing, developing very nicely. Little Purple calyxes can also be seen at the bases of developing flowers. End of week, in tent RH 50% temp 22 avg. Doing LST once every 2 days or so. Not to often or to harsh but just to show my love
She is under a SpiderFarmer SF 1000 LED (100W Samsung LM301)
She also receives from a very far away distance and on the sides UV (total per day 2 and 1/2 h ) exposure and IR (total per day 2h)
From a Secret Jardin Cosmorrow UV 40W and one Secret Jardin Cosmorrow IR 40 W.
UV 1h in the morning starting with main light, 1h in the afternoon and 1/2 h just before the main light goes off.
IR 1/2 h in the morning before any lights even start then letting it another 1/2 h with all the other lights.Total 1h
IR 1/2 in the evening right before all the lights go out and let it smooth out 1/2 alone without the other lights. Total 1h
1/13/25
So starting the week not very good. After the little flush I did 3 days ago she is starting to show brown spots on the leafs.
It kinda feels like overnight but I think it took 2 days or so to get where it's at. Hope she will rebound good.
1/14/25
Today i gave her 3,3 l PHed water with 3,5 ml CalMag; 5ml Activera; 3,5 ml Algamic ; 2ml BioBloom and 1ml TopMax.
After mixing turned down the PH at PH 5,0 and the ppm is 210. Runoff at PH 6.0 ppm 723.
Gave her a little defoliation, and I put each stem between my fingers and rolled it to crush it just a little bit. very gentle and with love.
I use to do this and saw that the branches get stronger and stronger. I do it a maximum of 2 times in the life of a Auto.
1/15/25
She is praying to the wild LED Sky like someone would say, @NoVC01 I liked your diaries and the name 👌.
She is looking good and rebounding , growing .😇 Stands at her highest point at 39 cm. The lowest bud is at 35 cm.
New pics up 😬
1/17/25
The Banana Purple Punch Auto from FastBuds a.k.a my first purple Auto a.k.a My Purple Queen is looking good and rebounding well.
Still not wanting to drink but that is ok. She also grew a little bit and now stand at her tallest at 41 cm😮.
She is very pretty as hers flowers grow and expand the more the color seems to come out 😍😍
Also some new pics 😍 in one of the pics you can see the training and my "between the fingers rolling" that i do😁
1/19/25
End of the week. She is bulking up purple gems of flowers 😍😍 oohh my oohh myyy....
I just had one photoperiod plant that turned purpleish but late in flower.
My purple Queen here does it from the beginning. I know it depends on the pheno 😄. I feel lucky that mine did so quick.
Today gave her 3,5l water PHed with CALMAg 3,5 ml; Activera 8ml; Algamic 8ml; BioHeaven 8ml; BioBloom 5 ml and TopMax 4ml.
After mix, PH of water going in at 5,3 ppm 344; Soil aprox 7; Runoff 6,35 ppm 655.
On one main the leafs started changing colors to yellowish, you can see in photo on the left.
Hope feeding helped; gotta keep a close eye on her 😮
New pics as we end this week. 😁
So 3 days ago i did a little flush because I saw 80% of the leaf tips were clawing,so i thought Nitrogen toxicity. 24h later she looked very happy but now 72h later she is showing little brown spots all over the leafs.Calcium?Magnesium?or deficiency of both?Runoff PH 6.0 ppm 1000
1/20/25
Start of the week
She got 3,5 l water with CalMag 3,5ml;Activera 8ml;Algamic 8ml; BioHeave 8ml; BioBloom 5ml; TopMax 4ml.

I gotta monitor my purple queen. A off shoot branch is a little loose fro m the main stem.
No signs of death of such. Put a rock underneath to stabilize.😁
Gotta keep an eye on her.😃
1/22/25
Another day, she didn't want any water so it's ok. New Pics 😁
1/24/25
So still not want some water? Ok, no problem 😁
She is still fattening the flowers up so i think i will water just tomorrow. Soil has just a tiny bit of moisture.😊
I fixed, or so i think, the broken offshoot branch with wax.😁 Hope it is ok with the wax and the rock to support her😌
New pics , also some videos with microscope because why not 😆 and because 😍purple😍

My purple ladie is going into autumn mode💚. I think i'm going to stop feeding just about now. Next watering just water😊 with the right PH. 😁
2/5/25
I know it's mid week, just had time now to make the update.
Started the week I think good. Autumn mode, color fade, just very beautiful 😍😍.
Today was the first flush with 4 l of water with going in PH at 5,5 ppm 88, the runoff is at PH 6,2 ppm 525.
Such a beautiful purple lady, the buds are swollen and she smells sooooo goooooddd i can't describe.
2/9/25
Today is end of the week. The purple queen is still fattening the buds.😍
Another flush with 5 l water going in PH 5,6 ppm 100 runoff PH 6,6 ppm 690😧.
The colors are so pleasing😍 New pics. 😁
2/11/25
Started the week yesterday. 😊
She is doing good, bulking the buds and showing her great color fade.😍
Smelling soooo great my mouth waters 😍 Can't wait. New pics😁
2/12/25
Flushed her once again with 5 l of water.
Going in PH 5,3 ppm 115. Runoff PH 6,1 ppm 963 😨😨
I don't think she will absorb more nutrients from the soil.
I think the runoff ppm will stay in that range somewhat.
No problem, I will do better next time. But like it is I am super pleased.
I love her purple gems of buds and her magnificent smell😍😍
New pics. Also checking with microscope, is a little hard to take good pictures.
I see like 85% of thricome heads are cloudy the rest still clear.
But like I can see lonely thricomes heads that are amber or getting amber very very very few 😁
Soo starting a new week.😁
My Purple girl is lookin' great 😍, smelling wonderful and still not ready 😂
I look at the thricomes every day, not sure but i think they are starting now slowly to go amber. 😁
Not long now and I can harvest.
02/20/25
Today was the last day with the lights on for this purple little queen here💚.
She will be in darkness for like aprox 36h and then i will harvest🤤💚.
Can't wait to have a taste because the smells in her are wow😱💚.
2/22/25
What an adventure it was. I loved the grow with it's ups and downs. Love the purple flowers on her😍
Will update after dry and cure 😊
3/1/25
The purple gems are chilling in jars since yesterday. Most puple flowers i have ever grown 🤤.
@Tony_Ista, Danke sehr :D . Sie ist auf jedenfall die schnellste Auto die ich bis heute hatte [aus 5 Autos, aso nicht so viele😅 ]. Und genauso Wiederstandsfähig. Erholt sich sehr schnell von trimmen, LST, supper cropping,..... you name it. Fingers crossed sie wird schon purple. :))
@BrediGreeny, yeh looks quality mate! Well done! Wish I could let mine cure long enough in the jars before I smoke it haha doesn't last long the fastbuds lmao
@Tony_Ista, Im moment beim sugar leafs reiben kann ich so leicht chemisch,gummibärchen artig einbisschen fruchtig riechen und ganz leicht kommt schon die reife banane hinterher. Aber im moment nicht so stark, vermute eher später in die blüte, zumindest habe ich auch so verstanden von den beschriebung auf @Fast_Buds . Es ist definitiv mein geschmack😍😍
Are you using RO water or tap? I see you are using mostly soil so I might not be of much help but the PH seems low. I’m in coco and usually recommended a lower going in PH than soil and mine is 5.8. I was told not to worry about runoff ph so much so if you are trying to maintain with the runoff that could be the problem. I believe it’s 6.2 for soil on the minimum but you could ask the autoflowers reddit group. Thats what i normally do and see what’s common for most people. You might can even search the group for past conversations. Only time I check my runoff PH is if I suspect nutrient burn. If really elevated PH that’s mostly the culprit. Plant looks great otherwise and nice size. Good luck.
@CannaJammin, Tap water PH 8.0 ppm 168 (it comes straight from the tap like that). I watered with PH between 6.0 - 6.3 until Week 4 and then I saw that my soil PH was at like 7,5 - 8. Did a flush until Runoff PH at 6.0 and ppm at 920 or something like that. after that it was better but PH still wants to go up in the soil that's why I thought to PH my water at 5.0, so that the runoff has like 6.2 and in the soil a little bit more that 6,2 and I saw little improvements. It's just the second time growing Autos and from what I can tell is you can't make little errors when mixing your soil or at the start because then it won't go so smoothly. I didn't had big problems so to say with my other run either but I know the plants can be in a better shape so I am always trying and learning. :D Thank you very much for the tips, I will take a look on reddit to, but I don't feel myself good in that community, that's why I will just look and search and I will ask here :)) I feel better in this community :D Once again thank you very much🙏 I will do my best. Keep in touch and keep up the good work :D💪👍
Training game is strong and colors 😍 coming in right away....
Fastbuds genetics are naturally fun, you work them out really well, so good luck, im hoping to see more fat smoke from you😉
@BigBanger, Thank you very much🙏 giving it my best. She is my first from FastBuds, and ssshhheesssss😱 she is fast, vigorous and just lovely to work with.
She even forgave the mistakes that I did.😣😁 I am keeping a close eye on that soil PH 😅.
Hope for some purple gems in my jars 😍
@NoVC01, I know what you are talking about.😊 This plant helps me and helped me even before being legal so much😍.
I love that it also is of very good help to you and you wife🙏 Wish you both the best😊
I still can't believe all the hustle one must go through to get to his medicine. And now it's better then it ever was here.😨
Anyways, also love edibles, I do make a good Coconut butter extract if i dare say so. Also have a Volcano Hybrid Vape from Storz & Bickel 😁. I am smoke free 5 years now✊😁.
@BrediGreeny, worked many years outside the law. Always thought the original fight should be total legalization. And I felt medical marijuana was a cop out. Now the wife and I are card holders registered to cultivate medical marijuana. And, combined with a recreational allotment can have 12 plants in possession. I never get near that. I do harvest enough to get through until the next harvest. Usually, a kilo of (A) top/(B) mid buds and 9+ oz of C weed buds for the wife to make her edibles. The rest we compost including the root balls. Breaks down nice.
@NoVC01, thank you🙏😁 I'm just trying my best. Always wanted to do this but like on a bigger scale, earn a living with it. At the moment it's not possible from where I am from, I am happy with what I can do.
She had some problems but came out of them. I don't know if the UVB was on or not at the time of the pics. I just experiment with different settings on my phone, it's not the latest model. I ordered some cheap digital camera soon to arrive so my pics quality should be consistent then😅
I'm waiting for some of your updates OG✌️🌱
Yes so pretty💚🌱
Love her too, the color, the smell 🤤
And if you think in just 57 days now. And she kind of looks like she doesn't need too much longer now.😂😁
1 week then checking thricomes every day😂
🙏🙏danke sehr man, heisst sehr viel für mich 😁
Ich will auch jedes mal reinbeissen :))
Und wie sie riechhtt......😱😱😱
Weisst du manchmal gibts so Seifen die riechen so gut man denkt hmmmmmm just a little bite won't hurt :))))))
