Most of what I found didn't really match up with what I was experiencing during this grow so I basically 'flew by the seat of my pants' and let the plants tell me what they needed and when they were ready to harvest. I kept the environmental conditions optimal throughout the grow cycle, keeping temp's/RH/VPD and co2 levels on point. Watering's/Feedings were done with consistency and regularity, paying specific attention to ph, EC and amount given. I topped them once at Week #3, then only used LST and some minor defoliation for the remainder of the run. Both phenotypes expressed beautiful coloration and both had outstanding trichome production with the #2 pheno winning out having the heaviest coating on her flowers. Once their trichomes were matured to the point I prefer, I placed them in the dark for 3 days to stress them and further boost trichome production. Once out of the dark they were cut at their base and hung whole to dry. I maintained the drying room environment at 68-72℉ with a RH of 50-60% which will enable them to hang for the 10-12 days I like the drying to take to ensure a quality finished product. Once dried, I trimmed them and placed the buds in large Mason jars to cure for 1-2 months (I really like to let my flowers cure for 2-3 months) to really let the starches and sugars do their thing and allow for the terpenes to develop. With yields of 190g and 328g respectively for the #1 and #2 pheno's, I'd say a total harvest of 518g from these two was damn epic! I really enjoyed cultivating these 'freebies' from Seedsman Seeds and only hope that we'll see these in their regular offerings some time in the near future! 😎👍🏼💜🤜🏼 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- With that said I have compiled some information courtesy of 'Way of Leaf' that, I think, will apply to whatever version of this strain you decide to cultivate. "Widely considered to be a problematic strain to get hold of, those who do get the opportunity to cultivate Purple Punch for themselves should do so with care. Of medium difficulty, the need for some experience with this bud is likely as there are specific skills required to avoid mold and weak growth. Purple Punch thrives in a sunny, humid climate, and so those growing this bud indoors will be required to provide high powered lights and a powerful heating system. Growers opting for outdoor cultivation will need a Mediterranean climate to get the best out of this bud, with harvest time being around mid-late October. This beauty of a bud has a pretty hearty resilience to mites thanks to its tough parentage, but growers should look out for things such as caterpillars which can bring about mold. Additionally, the need for regular topping to avoid the larger leaves from blocking light and air is crucial for a healthy and robust yield. Purple Punch offers a moderate to high yield when appropriately grown, and those looking to bring out those purple hues will want to expose the plant to cooler temperatures around the flowering stage. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 💗~Thank you so very much for following along on this journal, it's been a blast!
