Another week for the Purple Punch Auto in Hydro, she is getting fat now, I recently changed nutrients to the pH perfect line from Advanced Nutrients. Plant likes the Nutrients, nothing wrong with GHE I just wanted to try some new products so as I ran out of GHE ordered the whole line from AN.
The plant is still packing on size, even though the buds are very dense and fat already, trichomes are 50 clear 50 milky, will give her another few days and then flush with Flawless Finish.
Smell is incredible and she reminds me a lot of the the version in soil just in way bigger. I gave her a good trim and cleanup and removed some of the smaller branches now as we are coming towards the end.
@NuggetPawn, thanks man ! Honestly if the amount of leave removal did slow her down then im glad because she is way to big in the first place ๐ she outgrew the tent completely and in hydro everything just grows super quick, in soil I might agree that to much defoliation can slow down your growth but in hydro it seems to not matter almost, there is no stopping this plant in hydro :D
@Pot_Portraits, each to their own mate, but I think you should try without on your next grow and see if you get better results... The leaves are like wicks, transpiration draws nutrients and water up the plant, more leaves = more transpiration and photosynthesis :) I think defoliation will no longer be a thing in a couple years time when people realise. Not a criticism from me by the way, I defoliated last grow, this time with the same lights, just a bit of a bigger space. I'm gonna see what the difference will be... Already looking much better so I am confident.
Good luck with the rest of your grow ๐
@@Imnotmeanimjusttired, thanks mate ! Its just a bucket with a home made netcup, 25cm huge air stone and a big air pump, that's pretty much the whole setup.
@Mr_Weeds_Autos, yeah they get bigger for sure ! If you live in an area with solid power supply an rarely get power cuts its for sure worth a try ๐ช Its a lot of fun once you get into it.
Hi!
Congratulations! Was an incredible work!
I have a grow room but I never tried hydroponics system, but I'm intrested!
But I have a question for you!
When you change the water of your pot? Once a week? Twice?
Thank you!
Mannnn LOOOK at that ! I just purchased my first two bubble pots and looking at this I think I've made the right choice. Looks HENCH great growing my friend you should be proud :) Keep up thee great work !
@Pot_Portraits, Your Welcome pal keep up the great work. Haha There are worst problems to have I suppose :) I mean the size that plant and the bucket its in is awesome lol bet your excited for the chop soon :)
@TheUk420Show, Thanks a lot mate, appreciated ๐ Its fun, you will enjoy it for sure, just started 2 more strains in Hydro as well, lots of fun to grow but size wise really challenging at least with this purple punch monster here.
Just keeping her balanced on the pot is a challenge, she is so heave she rips everything when she moves ๐
Beautiful looking plant!! I have a few questions for you. What size was your veg room? And, were you getting light leaks in your reservoir? If so, where exactly and how did you stop them? I just began my first hydro grow and I am worried about root rot. I have a 17-gal tub with lid, all white, 16 (too many) 3 inch net cups. I will be using hydroton in cups. Good luck the rest of the way. I'm considering grabbing that strain myself now thanks to you.
@megatron, thank you ! the veg tent was 90x90x160, then when she was to big I moved her outside. I didn't have any light leaks, I close the lid and cover it with and old black shirt so everything is sealed. In my first hydro grow I had root rot but fixed it with voodoo juice. Purple Punch Auto is a big grower no matter the medium, even in soil they get massive ๐ช
