End of week 1, day 7 and all is well. I am excited to see what will come of this hybrid. Plenty of info on GDP Autos, nothing on Gumberry Auto and very little on the cross of the two. Lets see what we can turn 'em into.
I put 'em in a cup of pH'd water on the afternoon of 4/20, starter cup on 4/21 and day 1 was 4/24. They germinated within 96 hours without issue and were transplanted into final pots on day 6. They were given some beneficial nematodes proactively on day six during transplant.
Both look good, one has smooth leaves and the other has slightly wrinkled look and both are on the light green side for color. I had other purple varieties start that way before and I have two new seedlings on day 1 for comparison in a couple days.

End week 2, day 14, we had a good second week. The GDPs are looking real good, they darkened nicely and growth has been on par for automatics. When I transplanted to the bigger pots I buried about an inch of stem. They adapted well and are now about 2.5 inches and starting to branch. They had a second dose of Recharge this week to.

End week 3, day 21 and both are looking good. Although one has taken a height advantage I think the stretch will be starting soon and they will stay pretty even going into flower. All I have been doing is feeding 'em Recharge and fresh water. I have been starting 2 seeds of GDP auto x gumberry auto each week now and have a total of 8. We'll see how the next 2 months go. I should have plenty of purple in the end.

End week 4, day 28 and your hoping at this point you know the sex and the stretch is on but I'm not sure where they are going yet. I got a tall one and a short one and I believe I see a few hairs sticking out at the internodes, so, I am hoping week 5 changes things dramatically. Otherwise, they look good with some big fat indica leaves.

End of week 5, day 35 and the growth this week has been incredible. These are some very beautiful plants and great flower development. Very impressive structure and thick strong branches. Flowering is under way and the flower sites are prolific. Excited to see these buds in couple more weeks. Crossing my fingers for pretty purple buds.

End of week 6, day 42 and the girls have blossomed. They are beautiful with so many flowers so fast and big. The big girl gained over 12 inches and comes in at 41 inches and lots of long gorgeous stems. Shorty is coming in at 24 inches and she is a big beautiful bush. There are a couple others in the pictures that are a week younger. Tune in next week to see how fat the buds are getting.
Note: Temperatures and humidity have skyrocketed so I went to a 18/6 light cycle and turn the lights off during the hottest part of the day (noon to 6).

End week 7, day 49 and the tall girl topped out at 45 inches, taller than I prefer, I like 'em between 2 and 3 foot. The bush came in at 32 inches, perfect. They are in full flower now. Nothing left to do but, 😃😄😊 watching the buds get bigger and frostier with each passing day.
I haven't been adding anything to the feed except Recharge once a week at 1/2 tsp per gallon. No signs of deficiency. Looks like the soil formula will keep until harvest. I use 1/3 Coast of Maine Premium blend soil to 2/3 Coco Coir. Add about 10 to 15% by volume Organic perlite. Mix in 10 lbs Nature's Living Soil inoculant per 50 dry quarts. This should have enough nutrients in it to go from seed to harvest. If I add anything it would be some extra P and K during flower to help increase the terpenes and trichome production.

End week 8, day 56 and the garden is green with Garden of Green every where. They seem to be maturing slowly, looking like 12 weeks before they finish but we will see how the next couple weeks go. Looking good, lots of bud sites and starting to fill in and getting frosty.
I ran some bubble hash from some trim and larf I have been saving. I got about 56 grams, twice the amount I was expecting. This stuff will put you on your ass. Use with caution!

End week 9, day 63 and the buds are filling in nicely. It's like they turned the corner quickly and seem to maturing rather quickly now. I'll push them as far as I can before harvest and go another week.

End week 10, day 70 and we are getting close to harvest. Pheno 1 is just starting to darken and change color. Pheno 2 is about used up and is showing a phosphorus deficiency. Her colors are coming through nicely though. A couple cool water flushes and we'll put 'em in the dark for a couple days and call it complete.

End week 11, day 76 and I put the girls in the dry room for 48 hrs before I trim the fan leaves off and hang 'em up to dry for a week or so. I flushed 'em all week with pure cool H2O before they got cut down. The longer the dry the better, in order to break down as much chlorophyll as possible. I'll be back with a harvest report in a couple weeks after a good dry and cure.

This mix of genetics turned out to be an interesting grow. The first 2 plants didn't get much training or trimming. I like to see how they grow naturally before I do any carving. They grow quickly and will branch every which way, they are hardy though and recover quickly from defoliation. If growing with LEDs and coco coir make sure to supplement with CalMag, they are hungry for it and will show deficiency in about week 6 without it. I started 2 pants every week for 4 weeks. Of the 8 only 1 has purpled out and I have about 3 different phenotypes.
You will grow some beautiful medium size pyramid shaped buds. The smell is strong and sweet like berries but also earthy. But a lot of my buds smell that way probably because of my soil mixture. The smoke is pleasant and uplifting with berry undertone. My wife says a hint of coffee in there to. The high is very strong and will stay with you for a few hours. The yield was a little below my average but can easily be improved with some TLC. Definitely worth a try. I have a bunch of these seeds so I'll be growing it again soon.
I would recommend this strain for anyone from beginner to experienced. Feed her well and stay on top of the trimming and she give you some very good sticky flower. Be sure to see the above comments for more.

@PakaloloTingz, appreciate it man, thanks for tuning in. I got quite a few of these too and I'm hoping it will be as good as described and I have plenty of purps for the next year or so. Going into week 4 and no signs of sex yet. I would expect them to go into flower within the next week though. Also, think I'm seeing the first signs of purple, another week should define that a little more. Stay tuned! Peace and health
