Automatics_Gourmets Weโre looking forward to this journey with @paradiseseeds ! ๐
2026 has already got off to a good start, but weโre really excited about whatโs to come. The Venus and Saturn pack put a big smile on our faces, and it quickly became clear which strain would end up in whose tent.
Venus has already tried some different "banana" strains, so he was all the more exciting to plant this yearโs new Banana Purple Auto in the pot: https://www.paradise-seeds.com/product/banana-purple-auto/

Automatics_Gourmets The plant is developing a lovely, even canopy of leaves and seems to be thriving. Its water consumption has increased slightly and it is starting to flower.

Automatics_Gourmets She has started to flower and is beginning to stretch out nicely; sheโs also developing a purple tinge at the base of the flowers. The stakes will soon be removed as she has now more or less settled into the desired growth pattern. ๐ด๐ด๐ด

Automatics_Gourmets The plant continues to develop its beautiful purple color and has slowed its growth, likely because it hasn't been getting enough water. A few older leaves were removed, and it continues to stretch happily toward the light.

Automatics_Gourmets The stretch wasnโt as pronounced as expected, but flower production is in full swing. ๐ธ According to the description, the plant should still have just under three weeks to go, but the trichomes suggest an early harvest. A nice touch: some of the trichomes are purple too. ๐๐
Mars will be the next to pot the strain, this time paying a little more attention to the plantโs increased appetite.
Do purple trichomes count as amber? The variety of colours was enough for Venus, and despite its compact size, the plant produced extremely sticky and pungent buds. There is indeed a hint of banana aroma, but the majority is a spicy diesel aroma. ๏ธ
A smoke report will follow in a few days, but the bud harvested earlier quickly showed when vaped that the BPA is a slightly stronger strain.
