Purple Punch Feminized Indoor Grow #2

[BearWater]

Heck yeah man! Thats looking great, glad nothing more came from this!

I use an AC Infinity IONFRAME EVO3 which has full spectrum lighting. This light has been great for me so far. This girls genetics must just be even greater than the ones from my last grow, because while my last Purple Punch grow yielded some pretty bushy plants, they weren't as bushy as this one is already. Can't wait to see what kind of yield I have coming from this plant.

Are you planning of doing any low stress bending or maybe a topping of the plant?

As of right now I plan on just letting her grow ol' natural like my last grow, which yielded me around a pound of finished buds from two plants. I'm more than happy with that for my first grow. She's currently sitting at 9" tall, another 7-9" and I'll flip her into flower. I'm excited to see how much she blows up during her initial stretch!

I'm going to try to grow an even bigger main cola than on my last grow, and that thing was practically the size of my hand

Thats the ambition we need! : ) I dont have any doubt youll be able to pull that off!

All the color has officially returned to her leaves and her growth is taking off again. She's looking slightly droopy but after doing a moisture test, she won't be ready for her next watering until tomorrow. I'll post more pictures after that when she's nice and perky too

Just watered this morning - 1QT water, 1tsp Big Bloom, 1/2tsp Grow Big

 

[TheDankest]

Update time! I'm anticipating she'll be ready to switch over to 12/12 in about a week or so, so I just transplanted her into her final 7 gallon pot last night where she'll remain until harvest time. Currently sitting at just about 11" tall, planning to flip between 16"-18". She was a lot happier with this transplant than the first!

I'm so looking forward to seeing this plant blossom you must have alot of head space to allow it to grow naturally with no topping. What a great strain PP is.

My tent is just about 6' tall. I accidentally let my first Purple Punch grow get a little too tall before flipping last time (they were around 22" when I flipped). The main cola on the first plant was fine because the base of the main stem curved slightly reducing its height a bit....but the second plant sprouted straight up and was only about 4-5" away from my light. Surprisingly enough, it didn't seem to negatively affect the bud. I might try topping eventually, but it makes me nervous lol. I'm going to try a double trellis method on this grow, placing one lower in the tent and another about 2 feet above that one, that way I have more support for the branches and can possibly spread them out a little easier. Not sure if that makes sense but once I have enough growth to put it into action, I'll post some photos of it. I'm pretty much going to attempt a variation of a SCROG grow

Check out how much she's filled out just over the past 2 days alone! Looks like she was really happy with her last transplant. Sitting at 13" tall now, so I'm anticipating she'll be ready to switch over to flower before the weekend. Once the top of the plant reaches the trellis, she's ready to flip to 12/12.

 

[TheDankest]

As of this morning she's measured in at 15.5" tall so I'll be flipping her to a 12/12 light cycle by tomorrow. Filling in nicely!

 

[TheDankest]

Quick update: Switched her to a 12/12 light cycle on Saturday. Did a light defoliation for the first time, removing about a dozen of the largest fan leaves from around the plant. Now it's time to let her stretch out!

 

[TheDankest]

Here she is after the very light defoliation. I only removed enough leaves to increase light penetration to the bottom of the plant. She's also showing some female pre-flowers as well!

 

[Galgrows]

She looks great

Here is the setup for the double trellis I want to try out to give the plant extra support as it gets taller. Probably unnecessary, but one of my plants main colas on my last grow ended up snapping under its own weight. I was able to save it, but I figured I'd give this a try to avoid any snapped branches or sagging.

 

[TheDankest]

Continued explosive growth over the last few days. Today was the first day I watered her since switching her to flower, so she got her first dose of Tiger Bloom today. Continuing to feed Big Bloom and Grow Big at the recommended dosages twice per week. Starting to get a little stinky already!

 

[TheDankest]

Been about a week since the last post, here's some updated photos of the beautiful lady!

A very nice-looking plant! Thanks for sharing.
