🥊 Banana Purple Punch Auto (Fastbuds)

Bud_Wiser Banana Purple Punch looks good size wise, although it's lighter green than her sisters. I hope it's just genetics. 7 days after germination it looks healthy. Feeding every 2nd day - 60ml of 0.9EC 5.8pH nutrient solution consisting of 0.5ml/l of Calmag, Coco A and B. 1ml/l of Hydro Roots Hope she will grow big 💪

Bud_Wiser Summer heat is keeping temperatures high at 27-28C. Humidity is oscillating between 65 and 75 percent. I increased the EC from 0.9 to 1.1 this week. The plant is developing well and matching the steady pace of the other main strains. I will be increasing the PPFD next week.

Bud_Wiser Banana Purple Punch Auto (FastBuds) – Day 21 Grows well with no problems. Showed pistils on day 21, signaling the start of transition. Bumped watering volume to 2000ml to match her size. Increased input EC to 1.3. Currently getting a 20–30% runoff with a stable runoff EC of 1.4. Adjusted environment humidity to 60–65% while temperatures remain steady.

Bud_Wiser Thriving through the heatwave! Week 4 has brought explosive growth across the board, and this strain is showing great resilience. Even with the spiking ambient temperatures, her leaves look happy and she is stacking beautifully. Watering & Feed: Bumped watering up to 2500ml to keep the root zone hydrated through the heat. Increased input EC to 1.5, resulting in a solid 1.3 runoff EC, proving she is utilizing the extra food. Environment: pH is sitting right at 5.78. Lights are dialed in at 400–500 PPFD and 33–40 DLI, keeping her perfectly on track for a strong transition.

Bud_Wiser We have officially entered Week 5, and it marks the first official week of flowering as clear bud sites have finally started forming! Growth has been absolutely explosive this week, but we are currently battling a severe heatwave here in Germany. Daytime temperatures inside the tent are hitting 30–32°C, and night temperatures are sitting around 26–28°C. Because of this intense heat, the plant is showing some slight droopiness, but her vitality remains strong. To adapt, I have adjusted the humidity down to 60–65% to support the early bloom phase. I also performed a very light defoliation—nothing too heavy, just enough to maximize airflow without stressing her during this crucial stretch period. To support the transition into bloom, I have officially added a new product to the feeding schedule this week: Plagron Power Buds. This will help stimulate and accelerate early flower formation. This girl is living up to her vigorous reputation with massive vertical growth over the last seven days. The initial bud formations look incredibly healthy. The extreme 32°C daytime heat leaves her looking a bit droopy during peak hours, but she recovers nicely once the tent cools down. The very minimal lower defoliation should help her dense structure breathe through this heatwave.

Bud_Wiser The Banana Purple Punch is growing rapidly and continues to stretch taller every day. This aggressive growth phase aligns perfectly with the introduction of Plagron Green Sensation and the step up to a 1.6 EC feeding. To make watering easier, the bottom of the plant was defoliated, and selective defoliation was performed on the canopy. Despite this, by the time the photos were taken two days later, the canopy has bounced right back into a dense hedge. The plant is handling the increased watering routine of 3L per day with 10% runoff very well. Although the recent 32°C heat spike left some minor twisting on the leaves, the plant has stabilized with the cooler weather and is utilizing its 35 to 45 DLI light intensity effectively.

Bud_Wiser Banana Purple Punch Auto is at week 7 and has finished its third week of flowering. Yesterday a major defoliation was performed, removing 50% of the foliage and 30% of the branches. This one is stacking the buds the most and bulking like crazy, though it is not yet that resinous. The plant is throwing pistils everywhere and has shown no signs of stress for the past 24 hours, praying to the light nicely. She is receiving an increased nutrient dose of 2.0 EC and a DLI of 40-50. A new camera is being used for this update, so apologies for trying to figure out what is what as photos may not be ideal, though they should be much better than past diaries.

Bud_Wiser This girl is thriving in week eight under the exact same treatment as last week with no adjustments made to her schedule. She is bulking up nicely and exhibiting rapid bud stacking as the flowers fill out. She drinks her regular feeding of three liters per twenty-four hours without any issues. The tent environment is much more stable now that the heatwave in Germany has subsided and temperatures have settled down with the DLI holding strong between 45 and 55. Her frost is coming along and she is already smelling great with some incredibly unique terpenes filling the air.
