Week Nine of flower! 👏😎 With Thirteen weeks of growth behind her now, the #2 Seedsman LE Purple Punch Auto is tall, proud and is just about finished up. The #1 pheno is trimmed and jarred, this girl's not far behind and has only a couple of days left to go and she's huge! They're both exceptional specimens of the strain and it's been exciting to see them go through this run 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.
5/24- Today I let her take a pass on watering as she was still pretty heavy to the lift.
I now have her located on the 'cold' (the A/C blows in on this side) side of the Gorilla 4x8 to stress her a bit and hopefully bring out some colors in her fade that she's currently in.
She now has half of the 4x8 to herself along with her own dedicated HLG 650R w/UVA Bar showering her with that 'love from above'!
She's 86 days in now and, as I mentioned at the start, without any real info on this strain I'm basically flying by the seat of my pants with her grow cycle. For the record, I'd say this is a 12-13 week strain / 60/40 Indica/Sativa. All the strain information I can source from several different breeders has Purple Punch Autoflowers harvest at anywhere from 50-63 days, with a 80/20 Indica/Sativa lineage. This girl obviously can't read!
My girl's just about finished and I'm getting excited to see what this giant yields!🤩 I'll be checking her trichomes in the morning to see if I can determine when she'll be going in the dark for 48-72hrs.
5/26- Day 88 from seed, Day 60 of flower and her trichomes are perfect!...Today is her day to go dark. She'll be taking a nap for 2-3 days, then I'll snap some 'pre-chop' pic's before cutting and hanging her to dry...Stay tuned! 🤩
5/28- Well tomorrow I will be taking the #2 Purple Punch out of her three days in the dark. I'll shoot some pic's of her (should be amazing!😍) before cutting her off at her base and hanging her whole to slow down the drying time some.
5/29- Well today was the day! After 91 days from seed today the Seedsman LE Purple Punch was cut and hung whole and she's a beauty!
I'll have her hanging for 10-12 days to properly dry in my Drying Room where the temp's run 68-74℉ with a 50-55% RH.
My final Harvest Report and some more pictures are upcoming so stay tuned and many thanks for following along with me I hope you enjoyed this run half as much as I did!
~Thank you so much for following along so far! I hope you'll continue to follow as this run gets wrapped up and we await the final weigh in on both of the phenotypes... Grow Strong! 😎🙏~
