Banana Purple Punch Auto

Max_Terpz The little Banana Purple Punch Automatic is growing fast and strong! Slowly, the grow nutrients that I mixed into the soil at the beginning should be available for the plant. I have the 50W lamp set to 80% ~40W light output. I give Calmag 2ml per 1L of water with every watering. I think I can start with some light LST in the next 2-3 days.

Max_Terpz The plant has developed very well over the past week and has noticeably gained in size. The growth looks strong and healthy overall. On day 18, the plant was topped and Low-Stress Training was started. Unfortunately, two side branches were bent, which caused additional stress – especially so close to the flowering phase. It’s likely that growth will slow down in the short term because of this. The start of flowering may also be delayed by a few days. No further interventions will take place for now, so the shoots can recover and the damaged areas can heal. The 50W lamp continues to run at 80%, which corresponds to about 40W of power.

Max_Terpz The training is clearly showing results. With pipe cleaners and earth hooks, the plant has been consistently spread out and is now filling the tent very evenly. What's particularly striking is how well it has handled the topping: No growth stop, no weak phase – the energy was immediately redirected to the side shoots, which are now growing vigorously. The first pistils are already visible, marking a clear transition into the flowering phase. The growth remains very dynamic, both in area and in the vitality of the shoots. Watering was done with 1 liter of water, enriched with 2.5 ml of CalMag. Additionally, the Green House Feeding Enhancer was used once with 0.6 g. So far, the plant is showing a very positive reaction to this without any signs of stress or overfeeding. The lighting is now running at 100% power, which corresponds to 50 W. Even though the lamp doesn't have a lot of watts nominally, it confirms its consistent performance once again – reliable for both Autoflowers and feminized plants.

Max_Terpz The plant is currently in the flowering stretch and shows strong development of the first pistils. The transition into flowering is smooth and without signs of stress. At the beginning of the flowering phase, the first flowering nutrients were mixed into the soil. I used 2 g of Green House Feeding Bio Bloom per liter of soil in the pot. The plant is responding very well to that. I add 2.5 ml of Calmag from Biobizz per liter of water to the irrigation water. Growth is currently fast and vigorous, typical for a healthy autoflowering. Due to the limited tent height of 120 cm, the plant will remain somewhat more compact overall, which is even advantageous in this setup and makes height management significantly easier. Interventions have been kept deliberately minimal. So far, only 4–5 leaves have been removed to avoid stressing the plant unnecessarily. No further measures have been necessary, as structure and light distribution are currently very balanced.

Max_Terpz Banana Purple Punch – Week 5 The Banana Purple Punch is currently exactly 5 weeks old. What's striking is that it's already showing purple/violet hues very early – this is the first plant for me that is turning "purple" this early. That speaks to a stable genetics. In flowering week 2, I removed two leaves as they were shading too much. Lollipopping and defoliation will follow as planned on day 21 of flowering. 50W Sanlight Grow!

Max_Terpz Banana Purple Punch – Flowering Day 23 The Banana Purple Punch was lollipopped and moderately defoliated two days ago on flowering day 21. The intervention was very minimal: four lower shoots and a handful of leaves were removed. The plant has coped with the intervention without any issues. Since then, a distinctly pronounced, very sweet smell has developed. At the same time, the buds are visibly starting to turn purple, which fits well with the strain profile. A top dressing with 1 g of Green House Feeding Bio Bloom is planned for tomorrow to ensure nutrient supply until the end of flowering. The CalMag dosage has been slightly adjusted and is currently at 2.7. Despite this, the plant continues to show clear signs of magnesium deficiency, which cannot be fully resolved with CalMag alone. Therefore, the additional application of Epsom salt (magnesium sulfate) is planned, as it provides a constant source of magnesium without adding more calcium. Overall growth and flower development are very good. The plant has remained somewhat smaller, likely due to stress from broken branches during the vegetative phase. Since this stress occurred solely during the veg phase and no further stress followed during flowering, it is currently not negatively impacting flower development. 50 Watt Minigrow

Max_Terpz The Banana Purple Punch is developing very strong. The buds are getting thicker every day, the scent is intensely fruity, and the flowers are turning a beautiful purple. The sugar leaves are visibly building up trichomes. Watering is done with 1 L of water, mixed with 3 ml of Biobizz CalMag. Short facts about the strain: Banana Purple Punch is a cross between Banana OG × Purple Punch. Very terpene-heavy: banana, berries, sweet-fruity. Indica-dominant, known for compact, dense buds and strong purple coloring at cooler temps.

Max_Terpz The Banana Purple Punch is developing great, the smell is getting sweeter and rounder as the buds gain mass and resin. The colors and scent are truly unique.
