DE_BW Start is good :)

DE_BW She is doing fine :)

DE_BW Looking good! :)

DE_BW She is doing great. No signs of preflower yet.

DE_BW She is doing great and is building many bud sites. Flowering starts in ~2 days

DE_BW She is doing great! :)

DE_BW The plant was freshly defoliated this week, opening up the canopy and exposing all major bud sites to better light and airflow. Stretch is nearly finished and the structure looks very even, with strong, upright branches and well-spaced internodes. Early purple coloration is already visible in the calyxes, confirming a nice expression of the Banana Purple Punch genetics. Overall the plant looks healthy, stress-free, and ready to start stacking buds over the next weeks.

DE_BW The plant continues to develop very evenly, with a strong main cola and many well-formed side branches carrying healthy bud sites. Bud stacking has clearly started, and the structure now looks set, with little to no additional stretch expected. Purple tones are becoming more pronounced in the calyxes while resin production is steadily increasing across the canopy. Overall the plant looks vigorous and balanced, showing great yield potential as it moves deeper into the flowering phase.

DE_BW The Banana Purple Punch is stacking very nicely now, with buds swelling visibly across the entire canopy. A sweet, fruity aroma is starting to develop, becoming more noticeable day by day. The plant has stayed very compact at around 50 cm, with a dense and well-structured canopy. There are an impressive number of heavy, well-developed bud sites, and overall development looks very promising at this stage.

DE_BW The buds keep stacking steadily and resin production is increasing noticeably across the entire plant. A light fruity aroma is starting to come through, becoming more distinct with each day. Bud structure is very uniform, with every branch carrying solid, well-formed flowers and a beautiful dark purple-black coloration. I estimate the plant will need around two to three more weeks to fully finish.

DE_BW The plant keeps stacking buds nicely and the flowers are visibly thickening every day. Resin production is still increasing and the trichomes are fully milky, showing clear signs of late flower. A light fruity aroma is slowly coming through, getting more noticeable now. Overdrive has been introduced and harvest is expected in around 10–12 days.

DE_BW The plant is clearly entering the final stage of flowering. Buds have continued to stack and are now very dense and hard. Trichomes are predominantly cloudy, with very few still turning, indicating we are close to the harvest window. The final Overdrive feeding was applied this week. Resin production is strong and the buds are fully developed. Water uptake has slowed down noticeably, which further confirms ripening. Flushing will begin this week, with harvest planned no later than next weekend. Overall plant health is good for this late stage, with natural leaf fade setting in.

DE_BW During the final flowering week, the plant finished very smoothly and evenly. Bud stacking continued without signs of stress, foxtailing, or late-stage issues. The calyxes swelled further and the overall structure clearly reached its final form. Trichomes were predominantly milky, with approximately ~5% turning amber, indicating full maturity. Aroma development was strong, clean, and well-defined. The flush was fully completed, and water uptake had noticeably decreased, which further confirmed that the plant had entered its final ripening stage. Overall, a calm and controlled finish to the flowering cycle.
