Week 9 - Purple Punch Auto
All measurements are per 1L of water
Day 57 (Flower Day 29) - Wow week 9, getting into the home stretch (hopefully not the case with the Purple Punch!). - Different feed today than normal. Starting to ramp up the PK13/14 and lowering the A & B nutrients. Overall its less EC. Also lowered the cannazyme and raised the boost. The Purple Punch is by far the thirstiest (as she should be being a bush hedge). PP is getting 4liters and the other girls are getting 2-2.5, they all have the same amount of runoff with these amounts. The feed was as follows: Water 0.2 EC added CaMg to 0.6 EC / 0.5mL Rhizo / 1.7mL A / 1.7mL B / 0.8mL PK1314 / 0.5mL Cannazyme / 2.5mL Boost for a final reading of PH 6.3 and EC 1.4 - The plan is to add PK three times this week in slightly increasing dosages until 1.0mL then stopping until next week. I'll reassess then as i dont want to get ahead of myself. I'm still amazed just how good the Gelato #33 smells.....like a grape jolly Rancher. I cant even detect a smell off the others she's so overpowering. Anytime i try to defoliate a leaf here or there from G33 my hands feel like they are glued together. Really excited to see them all filling out and gaining flower mass.
Day 58 (Flower Day 30) - Tied town the Purple Punch again for some more LST to keep her away from the maxed out lights. Also trying to get some of her side cola's that werent getting light some exposure. Beyond that nothing to report. Ladies looking great. I snuck in a little PK today, tomorrow there will be none. Feed was as follows: Water 0.2 EC to 0.6 EC with CaMg / 0.5mL Rhizo / 2.0mL A / 2.0mL B / 0.2mL PK1314 / 0.5mL Cannazyme / 2.5mL Boost for a final reading of EC 1.4 and PH 6.5 (I'll make sure this is lower tomorrow as its at the max i'd like it to be). CJH, G33, WW, all got 2L of water today and PP 4L all with the same runoff.
Day 59 (Flower Day 31) - Update for this day is a day late. Had a busy day so wasnt able to make the update. I wrote down the feed though as that was pretty much it. Feed was as follows: Water 0.2 EC to 0.6 EC with CaMg / 0.5mL Rhizo / 2.0mL A / 2.0mL B / 0.5mL Cannazyme / 2mL Boost for a final reading of EC 1.4 and PH 6.3
Day 60 (Flower Day 32) - Dont have any pictures today as its been hectic. I'll be sure to update with quite a few pictures tomorrow. The ladies are looking good, I'm seeing a few pistils turning orange here and there on the Purple punch and Critical Jack Herer. The smell from the Gelato is just amazing and starting to ramp up for the CJH and PP as well. Today was a PK today in their feed so was as follows: Water 0.2 EC to 0.6 EC with CaMg / 0.5mL Rhizo / 1.7mL A / 1.7mL B / 0.9mL PK1314 / 0.5mL Cannazyme / 1.5mL Boost for a final reading of EC 1.6 and PH 6.4
Day 61 (Flower Day 33) - Really happy to see all the flower development from the ladies. All of them are developing their own distinct smell. It started raining again (some summer this has turned out to be!) but i put in a dehumidifier (small one) that brought the humidity to around 52% currently in the tent which i'm happy with (trying to keep it under 60%). I defoliated all of them a little bit today, taking fan leaves that were blocking cola's and any leaves that were directly on top of other leaves so as to cut down on the humidity further as i'm pretty wary of the dreaded bud rot. Maybe its just observational biased but it really seems like all of them develop quite a bit flower wise after a PK treatment. That said the next few feedings will be quite light, and ramping up the PK ever so slightly from where it has been for week 10, where I'll be stopping the PK and depending on how the ladies are doing lowering the normal feed even further. The feed today was as follows: Water 0.2 EC to 0.6 EC with CaMg / 0.5mL Rhizo / 2.0mL A / 2.0mL B/ 0.5mL Cannazyme / 2mL Boost for a final reading of EC 1.4 and PH 6.3 - Be sure to check out the beautiful frost developing on each of the ladies, i tried to get a decent picture of them all.
Day 62 (Flower Day 34) - Did a pretty big defoliation today mostly of the Purple Punch. Increasing airflow in the tent, lowering temps and also keeping the humidity right around 50%. All the ladies are looking great. Today was a very light feed, almost to help flush them out, although starting next week we'll be hitting the PK once again. The feed today was as follows: Water 0.2 EC to 0.6 EC with CaMg / 0.5mL Rhizo / 1.8mL A / 1.8mL B/ 0.5mL Cannazyme / 2mL Boost for a final reading of EC 1.3 and PH 6.3 - The ladies got 11L in total of feed, 7.5 going to CJH/G33/WW and the remaining 3.5 going to PP as she's the thirstiest and i wanted to make sure all had proper runoff as it was a sort of lower nutrient flush from what they've been getting normally.
Day 63 (Flower Day 35) - Last day of Week 9. Not much to report, ladies and environment are doing great. Feed was low, tomorrow's feed with PK will be higher. The ladies got 11L of water total, 2.5L each and 3.5L for Purple Punch. The feed was as follows: Water 0.2 EC to 0.6 EC with CaMg / 0.5mL Rhizo / 2mL A / 2mL B/ 0.5mL Cannazyme / 2mL Boost for a final reading of EC 1.4 and PH 6.1
Yoo Lith the garden looks pristine!! One can tell you did the research properly ;)) Plus the setup is top notch, looking forward to the flo phase! Good to see ya on this platform as well, keep it up - 99 donuts :P
Rumble in the jungle!! π²Wow.....coming on nicely brother and they're all developing really well π. As you say the timings going to be a little awkward with the various strains but what can you do man?
Super nice garden bud!!! π
@@Lit_1, I hear you completely bruv and let's just hope we're blessed with good conditions when our time comes!! On my first outing I definitely panicked and stopped drying way too early so I'll 100% be waiting for snapping stems this time......at least 7 days. It's about heat for me during drying so I'll see how it is nearer the time whether to leave some leaf on or not and maybe do a dry trim this time.......funny thing is I can't afford any smell leakage during harvest so I'll be jumping in me tent with me little baby and chopping her up in there!!! If I pull all the other bits out I might just squeeze in!! π
What a Fucking Beautiful Little Forest!!! ππ². All looking well bruv and I don't quite know how you're dealing with 4 ladies.....I'm just about managing 1!!
That goes for real life ladies too π
Blessings to you my brother π
@Bushbaby808, I been smoking for almost as long, 25 years but took breaks here and there....never been able to smoke my own though so i'm VERY excited about that prospect!
On the strain age i think it could vary seed to seed as even the same type of seeds will have different genetics. I think just watch those trichomes and let those be your judge for how much/little amber you want. With an Auto I suppose it wont vary as much as a photoperiod but I think because she's been healthy for the most part she'll probably be in that normal 70-75 range...maybe give or take a few days. With a photoperiod maybe it would be true as you could spend longer in veg or in flower but with Auto's i think we're actually on hard mode with getting everything right at very specific time periods and she'll do what she does in that condensed time frame no matter the conditions (just less or more yield) if that makes sense.
@@Lit_1, Love that, Cheers man!!! Like you I'm hooked on this Shit but then I've been a lover of Marijuana for over 30 years so it's about time I step up and produce my own Goodness. π Youre a dedicated Brother so I'm sure you'll be chopping up some super sticky icky Shit in no time!!
What's you views on this bruv.....I'm growing a 70-75 strain but due to a lot of LST and not so perfect conditions it could easily be 80-85 ah?
I wonder if I'd left her to just grow would it of been nearer that time scale?
@Hemporio_Afghani, Ya i've got a ton of jars in preparation for it all! Quite excited! I think its fairly safe to say i'm going to have more than 1g/w of yield. We'll see just how much.
Just looked over your babies again bruv and you've got some beauties.....Proper glad its all worked out nicely for ya!! That's gonna be a bumper harvest brother, you won't be back on here again for months man ππΏπ.
@Bushbaby808, According to the weather should be about 25c and under and 55% humidity. I'll try to keep the humidity a bit lower. Also going to be doing a wet trim. Yea we're going to have to find some good purple strains to grow for the colder winter temps!
@@Lit_1, Ahh nice man, enjoy the sticky fingerz and I hope it goes well bruv.....Will you be trimming up before drying and how's your conditions gonna be? I'm sure I'll have temps around 22-25β which I'm hoping ain't too bad but I'd love the option to go down to 18-20 if needed!!!
We can't have it all I spoze!!! π
Definitely doing a winter grow....ππ
@GrowerGaz, No worries. It's such a new light i kinda took a leap of faith getting it. However their Zeus pro 600w is pretty great so i figured these attis models couldnt be far off. I pretty much had to walk their tech team through getting me a PAR map (info wasnt on their website at the time). After our conversation they've since added it to their 'spec sheets'. So far I'm really happy with it. The ladies all seem to love it as well. Any other questions regarding it dont hesitate! I'm growing in a 90x90x182cm tent (3'x'3'x6'). You probably can get away with 4x4 foot tent but i wouldnt go any bigger.
@GrowerGaz, Ya 100%. I just adjusted the height. I last put the distance at 65cm but now they pretty much grew to 60cm distance. I'll try to maintain that. When they were seedlings and the distance was more like 90cm I think i experimented with 60% and 80% but i changed it quickly to 100% mainly for the warmth. Also have a humidifer in there, 60% when they were seedlings, now i let it be around 50%. In flower i'll drop it to 40% or slightly below. I also have a mini fan on top blowing on the LED which keeps it 'luke warm' to the touch, without it its pretty hot (it is a heatsink afterall).
@@Lit_1, But, the others are behind so who knows what's gonna happen with them little fuckerz!! Crazy when you think of her stretch and slenderness that she's produced such fruits......Wicked!! Chuffed for you bruv ππ
@@Lit_1, Hahaaa, indeedy bruv!! You're in for a bumper bush of buds.....great work my friend, real good to see them all doing so well and not far off each other it seems!! π
@Bushbaby808, Yea she's loving life! She's so close to the light but i think she enjoys it, cant really detect any light burn on her now that she's in full flower mode. She still looks about 3 weeks out I think at best though. I had a goal of 200grams total from my grow, but i think this hedge might give me that just by herself!
@GMSgrows, Thank you bredren! I really appreciate it. I'm quite excited to smoke what I've grown for the first time in 30 years of herb smoking. Can't believe I haven't done this sooner. What a great relaxing hobby!
Dude you killing it. That PP going to fill out and colas be falling all over the place. She stacks nicely, and looks like youβve given her a good home so you should be in great shape. Great pics too, all looking awesome, hope she continues to party for you.

@Greazy77, Thankfully i think she finally stopped stretching....i LST'd all the main cola's as well. She really seems to be focusing on flowering now which i'm thankful for! Next time i grow this strain i'll be topping and LST'ing the hell out of her, and most likely she'll be alone in the same tent. Cheers Greazy
@WitheredEye, Thank you sir! Just trying to leave myself some information for the next grow so as to improve upon it! I'm getting really excited about my first harvest!
@Bushbaby808, I'm thinking of planting these suckers as a hedge grove to separate my property line.... she's ridiculous! Maybe make a hedge grove maze out of them! π
Looking awesome man, those PPA grow big. Iβm with ya, for an Indica dom it sure Sativas! Ran out of height in my tent as well. Good luck rest of the way, gonna be tight in there for sure. Keep it realz.
Greazy
Nice nice brother, they've all put on some weight eh?
The Purple Punch is definitely punching man, she's massive with real nice thing bladed leaves!!!
Keep on doing what you're doing my friend ππ
