HOMEGROWBOOK This week marks the very beginning of the Purple Punch run. The seeds successfully germinated and transitioned into their starter plugs, showing healthy early development.
⸻
🌱 Germination Progress
• Seeds sprouted quickly and evenly.
• The first cotyledons opened clean without deformities.
• Early stem structure looks stable, showing no stretching — lighting distance is well balanced.
Day breakdown:
• Day 2: Sprout breaking the surface.
• Day 3: Cotyledons fully open, first tiny true leaves forming.
• Day 4: Seedling transferred to its substrate, standing upright with good color.
⸻
💧 Watering
• Only minimal watering around the root zone.
• Humidity dome kept moisture high to avoid drying of the plugs.
• No nutrients added yet — seedlings rely fully on internal energy reserves.
⸻
🌡️ Environment
• Temperature: ~24–25°C
• Humidity: 70–80% for strong root initiation
• Gentle airflow to prevent damping-off while keeping the young stems stable.

HOMEGROWBOOK During Week 3, Purple Punch showed steady and healthy vegetative development. The plant is building a compact structure with short internodes, which is typical for this strain. Leaf color remains a vibrant, healthy green with no signs of deficiencies or stress.
Root development is progressing well, reflected in more stable daily growth and improved leaf size compared to previous weeks. The stem is starting to thicken, indicating that the plant is preparing for stronger vegetative expansion in the coming weeks.
No training was applied yet during this week. The focus remained on maintaining stable environmental conditions and allowing the plant to establish a solid foundation before introducing any stress or shaping techniques.
Overall, Purple Punch is developing exactly as expected for Week 3, with good vigor and a balanced structure.

HOMEGROWBOOK At the start of Week 4, Purple Punch entered a more active vegetative phase. The plant measures around 11 cm and shows healthy, vibrant green growth with no visible deficiencies. Internode spacing remains tight, indicating good light intensity and stable conditions.
This week marks the beginning of structured training. Topping, LST, main-lining, and light defoliation were introduced to shape the plant early and encourage even canopy development. The plant responded well so far, with no signs of stress after the initial training.
Feeding is based on a coco setup with balanced nutrients and root support, maintaining a pH of ~5.9 to optimize uptake. Environmental conditions remain stable, supporting recovery and continued growth.

HOMEGROWBOOK Purple Punch is showing solid progress in Week 5 of the vegetative stage. The plant has developed a stronger structure and broader leaf mass, with healthy green coloration and steady growth. Internode spacing remains compact, indicating good light intensity and stable environmental conditions.
Low Stress Training (LST) has been introduced to open up the canopy and encourage more even growth across future bud sites. The plant responded well, showing no signs of stress after training. Light defoliation was done to improve airflow and light penetration.
Nutrient levels remain balanced in the coco medium, supporting both root expansion and vegetative mass without overfeeding. Overall vigor is good, and the plant is clearly transitioning from early veg into a more structured growth phase.

HOMEGROWBOOK Purple Punch continues to progress steadily in Week 6 of vegetation. After the training work in the previous week, the plant has recovered well and is showing healthy, controlled growth. The structure is becoming more open and balanced, with multiple growth tips developing evenly across the canopy.
Low Stress Training (LST) remains in place to guide the branches outward, improving light penetration and airflow. Light trimming/defoliation was carried out to remove unnecessary lower growth and shaded leaves, allowing the plant to focus energy on stronger tops.
Leaf color is healthy green with no major signs of deficiency or stress. The root zone appears well-established, supported by a consistent coco-based feeding schedule. Overall growth is still on the compact side, which fits the genetic profile of Purple Punch.

HOMEGROWBOOK Purple Punch is now in Week 7 of vegetation and shows clear signs of maturity and stability. The plant has adapted very well to previous LST and light defoliation, resulting in a more even canopy and improved light distribution across all main growth sites.
Branching is strong and symmetrical, with multiple tops developing at a similar height. Internodal spacing remains tight, indicating good light intensity and healthy growth conditions. Leaf color is consistent and vibrant green, with no visible nutrient deficiencies or stress reactions.
Growth rate has increased slightly compared to earlier weeks, showing that the root system is now well established in the coco medium. Water and nutrient uptake are stable, and the plant responds positively to the current feeding schedule.
