Well here we go into Week five of flower! 👏😎 With nine weeks of initial growth behind them now, the Seedsman LE Purple Punch Auto's continue doing great and are stacking their flowers and getting fuller everyday. The #1 pheno is getting close, the #2 not far behind and both ladies are looking very special! They're both exceptional specimens of the strain and it'll be exciting to see them go through flower with you. Thank you for following along this journey with me, growing these beautiful cultivars is always better with someone to share the experience with....come along and enjoy! 😎🙏
~Grown 100% organic in a 10g fabric pot with Mother Earth 70/30 Coco/Perlite medium amended with 2tbs/g Down To Earth 4-4-4 / 2 cups/g Earthworm Castings / 1tbs/g Dr. Earth Flower Girl 2-8-4 and 1tbs/g Dr. Earth Bat Guano.
~24hr light cycle during germination / 19/5 light cycle for Veg & Flower
~Straight water ph'd @ 6.2-6.8 when needed, top dressed every 3-4 weeks and weekly Compost Tea's.
4/26- Today they recieved .75g of de-chlorinated water each with the #2 getting Fox Farms Beastie Bloomz @ 0.75 tsp/g and 1 tsp/g of raw honey which was then ph'd to 6.4 @ 71℉, the #1 receiving .75g de-chlorinated water with Fox Farms Cha Ching @ 0.75 tsp/g and 1 tsp/g raw honey added, then ph'd to 6.7 @ 71℉ EC 1.4
My golly the #1 phenotype really looks phenomenal with hues of pink and purple showing at the tips of her rock hard flowers. I checked her trichomes and she's getting close. I'll be checking her daily to be sure to grab her at her peak. She's got an unforgettable aroma of grape Jolly Ranchers and is sticky to the touch!
The #2 phenotype is the one to watch, standing at an impressive 28" with a 'Christmas tree' like structure that's absolutely covered in bud sites! She's a little behind her sister but, with her humongous size, she'll need the time to allow all of those flowers she's sporting so beautifully to fully mature!
The temp's are a constant 78℉ during the light cycle and I'm running them down into the upper 50's during the 5 hour dark period. The RH is at 44% which is perfect right now as I have abundant air circulation in the Gorilla 4x8 with two 18" Hurricane fans, two 6" clip-on fans and one 10" floor mounted fan constantly moving the air. The HLG 650R is at max pulling 660w at the wall and it's currently at 32" above her canopy. Lastly, the co2 level in the tent, via a 50# tank and AutoPilot co2 controller, is running a constant 900ppm's during the light cycle.
4-28- I checked their pots this morning and they're still pretty heavy so we'll let them ride on watering for now. I'll check both later, so for now I'll just take a some pic's of them and give their pots a spin.
4/30- I checked their pots this morning and they're pretty heavy after yesterdays heavy water/feed of 1g each of de-chlorinated water. The #2 recieved 1g of de-chlorinated water with Fox Farms Beastie Bloomz @ 0.5 tsp/g, Fox Farms Tiger Bloom @ 2 tsp/g, Fox Farms Big Bloom @ 3 tsp/g and Fox Farms Bembe @ 3 tsp/g added, which was then ph'd to 6.6 @ 72℉ 1.4 EC. The #1 receiving 1g de-chlorinated water with Fox Farms Cha Ching @ 0.75 tsp/g, Fox Farms Tiger Bloom @ 2 tsp/g, Fox Farms Big Bloom @ 3 tsp/g and Fox Farms Bembe @ 3 tsp/g which was then ph'd to 6.6 @ 72℉ 1.4 EC
These two are going to be a huge autoflowers and I'm super excited as the #1 should be finishing up next week, the # 2 a week or so behind her!
5/2- Today I watered/fed and turned their pots 1/4 turn each.
The #1 is finishing up so today she got 1g of de-chlorinated water with Fox Farms Sledgehammer added @ 2 tsp/g to start flushing her. She's starting to show signs of being close to harvest...her color is turning and her trichomes are getting close and being checked daily.
The #2, being a bit behind her sister, recieved 1g Fox Farms Beastie Bloomz @ 0.5 tsp/g, Fox Farms Tiger Bloom @ 2 tsp/g, Fox Farms Big Bloom @ 3 tsp/g and Fox Farms Bembe @ 3 tsp/g added, which was then ph'd to 6.6 @ 72℉ 1.4 EC.
What a week it's been! Thanks again for checking in on my girls and all your positive comments, may your plants grow strong and healthy! 😎🙏
~Thank you so much for following along so far! I hope you'll continue to follow my journey as things will be getting more exciting as the flowering gets more intense on the #2 beast and the #1 reaches her finale... Grow Strong! 😎🙏~
