Auto Grow 25 No1- Purple Punch Auto

Hey mates, I already started this little Lady 4 weeks ago for my '25 automatic harvesting project. Since its an over-the-year project, every month a new plant will be started. So stay tuned for other reports :) Regarding the little Purple Punch Auto Lady there were no problems at all until now. Nice horizontal growth of the single branches to take enough space for a lot of light. She germinated in a small 700 ml pot with BioBizz Light Mix. After first 2 pairs of fan leaves appeard she was set into a 5 l fabric pot with the old soil and some BB All Mix and mykorrhiza was added. Both main fan leaves of node 3 and 4 had been cut in week 3 to give more light to the lower branches. Next plant is already started, so check out my other diaries.

Hey Folks, the (at the moment still not) Purple Punchy girl has grown big this week. With entering the flowering period she almost doubled her size in only one week. Maybe the change from good old GC4 to 3x SanLight STIXX 50 (arranged in a triangle for 3 plants) at day 33 gave a little boost ;-) At day 30 I removed the big fan leaves at node 5 and today I carefully add some nutrients to support the begin of the bloom.

Hey guys, Week 6 has past successfully. The change to the new SanLights in combination with the fast stretching led to a little light stress on some of the top fan leaves. I was a little late in detecting so there are some burnt leaf tips and some dried out spots on some elses, but nothing serious. The addition of the nutrients to the water slowed down the starting yellowing of the oldest leaves, so I continued and raised the amount a little bit. Excluding those little problems the girl is going to get punchy. There are also the first signs of getting purple leaves so her name gets more and more justified :-) Short hint: #3 of my '25 Auto project just germinated :-) so check out my other diaries

Hey guys, Week 7 has finished and the signs of purple getting clearer. Buds are growing everywhere and overall it looks pretty ok. There are still some nutrition problems, but I won't raise the amount of 5in1 anymore and also stop giving phosphor boost, since it's only to support early bud growing.

Hey lads, Week 8 has past and it's starting to get fall. Slowly the oldest leaves are going to get fully yellow and a little crispy, so I removed the sucked out ones. The buds are growing continously and overall my punchy girl seems happy to have the chance to show how beautiful she is. I think there are around two more weeks to go now so i will slowly stop to give nutrients and start to flush.

Hey my friends of the green hobby, we are getting close to the end of our first '25 grow. 9 Weeks have past now and the Purple Punch Lady is holding her promises. There are some beautiful bright purple fan leaves and also the tips of some calyxes are a little reddish. The buds also slowly stop to grow and are maturing now. I flushed this week and will let her going dry in the next days to get out the last nuts and water before cutting her down. I also checked the trichomes by microscope and a lot are already cloudy but there are almost no amber ones on the calyxes, only some single ones on some sugar leaves. Nevertheless I think around mid or end of next week will be harvesting time.

Ladys'n'Gentlemen after almost 10 Weeks the life of our Purple Punch Madame ended. I precut her one day before harvest and last gave her water 5 days before cutdown. Today I did the final cut of the almost dried buds to prepare curing. Overall it gave me around 22g of clean sticky dense buds. To be honest I didn't weight directly after harvest, so i multiplied my yield by 5... that's my experience of my last grows. I also wrote down the maximum power of my lamps, since my plants are all in different stages and I dimmed the lamps partially so... Not too easy to handle this with the GD-Template 😅 Nevertheless I'm happy about the first run of the '25-Auto project and we will see what happens next. Maybe some fresh stuff is already ongoing 😉 So stay tuned for my other already running and upcoming grows 😊
