First grow Heavyweight Fruit Punch

[Figgy]

Day 5 flower:

Plants growing a steady 1"/day since flipping. This 3x3 tent will be completely packed in a couple weeks. Definitely going to be doing a SCROG in there from the next grow on. I have an EWC tea brewing, and just watching them do their thing. Pics... I'll post some non-HPS pics next week (staycation!).

Day 8 flower:

The stretch continues. Now at 20, 22, and 25 inches. The smaller of the 3 has now passed the one that was in the middle on size. I'm doing ewc tea and feeding every other day now. These fabric pots really help dry out the soil and add to the humidity of the tent. I'll be out of town tomorrow and back on Monday so we'll have some non-HPS lighting pics of them then. I'll also have a 50 pint dehumidifier for the room with me when I get back to help control this RH. Pics...

Day 13 flower:

Went out of town for 4 days and the girls were dry. Had some decent under watering symptoms. Fed an ewc tea and they are doing great again! The tallest is now at 32". She's going to be a beast. Kinda wish I had more grows under my belt b/c I would have cloned her. Flowers started forming around Sunday/Monday. So we're looking at a 10-11 day time frame for flower development once changed to 12/12. Other than that, I do have what I think is a small cal/mag deficiency, but I think that was due to how dry they were after 4 days. Here's some pics of the big girl, flowers, and the others in the tent.

Day 16 flower:

Still stretching, but it seems to have slowed down some. I built some little wood stands to get the canopy pretty even between all 3 girls. Buds are slowly growing and looking good. I'm still rotating EWC tea and feedings every other day. Pic...

Thanks Imoore2680. Will do on the updates.

Got a little claw going from what appears to be some high N in the 2 smaller plants. I'm assuming that's from the stretch slowing down. I'll be adjusting the nutes to fix that. I'm guessing these Fruit Punch will stretch between 2-2.5x once flipped as my large girl is right at 40" this morning. Not much else going on other than being patient.

Imoore2680, I'm very impressed so far with these Fruit Punch. Given this is my first grow I chose to run these first as they were claimed, and I would agree, that they are easy to grow. The yield is supposed to be good as well, and at almost 3 weeks flower it looks like they should be. *edit: I'll update tomorrow night with some good pics of these flowers. They are starting to really look nice!

You might want to choose based off the claimed flowering times. The other HWFP grows I've read up on were around 55-60 days I think. That MC days 8-11 weeks, so you could be looking at a long flower cycle.

I do really love the HWFP genetics of Haze, Skunk, and NL. Nothing against the MC though. If you can run one or multiple of both I would probably try that if you're on the fence. You can also pop some MCs and see how my run finishes out before trying the FP.

My goal is to have a sativa strong hybrid and an indica strong hybrid on hand at all times. Next run is Blueberry Crisp. I'll probably follow that with my last HWFP and a WOS Strawberry Blue. Probably going to pick up some DNA Holy Grail Kush and some kind of Jack Herer cross after those. I've been strain research whoring for a couple weeks now, and have a lengthy list for future grows!

Nice! Right now the tent just has that generic dank smell, but tonight the flowers seemed to smell skunky. This is one trait I'm interested to see come out, and will definitely update on.

Still stretching...I have about another 8-10" I can raise my hood until it comes in contact with the filter, so these better be done soon. The largest is now over 41" so my calling the stretch slowing was probably me just not recognizing it as much since the tent is pretty full. Looks like trichomes have started up on the leaves from the pics. Buds are slowly growing, and everything is still running smooth. Yesterday's feeding had an added handful of EWC to the EJ brew so tomorrow's watering will consist of water, hi-brix, and some hygrozyme. And here are the pics...

That's funny cause stoners think alike I was gonna ask u how tall it got and how long u veg

Vegged for 43 days from seed until the tallest was 18". She's always been the leader of the pack. What was funny was the runt of the three is the one in the back right which since flipping to 12/12 has skyrocketed! The first week and a half of flowering I felt like if I checked in every couple hours she had grown. I really just love the structure of the big girl though. She was the one I really missed out on cloning. I'll get some non-HPS pics maybe this weekend.

nice grow man. similar to mine but i'm goin led with 2 different plants instead of 3 of the same. From the looks of your pics I probably should do 3 plants and flower sooner next time lol.

 

[Figgy]

deasonn, thanks! What wattage led, size grow area, strains, and how long did you veg? I originally tried to germ 4 seeds, but one didn't make it. I'm glad, b/c I would have been pissed doing the waterings/feedings. I already have to slide the front one over to get to the rears. With four I would have had to pull one out every watering/feeding. SCROG will be the way to go from now on in this 3x3 tent. There's just not enough room in there.

Well I've been curing my HW Fruit Punch for about a month now and the smell has changed.. I keep them with the 62% packs in Ball jars .. The smell is very Lemony...almost like a leamonhead candy. I have 2 other strains that smell more fruity than this. It has more of a Lemon smell than my Lemon OG Kush which is weird and I never had a strain that was soo much like a lemon. It didn't have a lemon smell until it cured.. I like it. I haven't smoked it yet but I will later this week , from the smell it should be killer.

 

[Figgy]

Lemon, thanks for chiming in here with that info. I've been trying to get more info like this and how it smokes. Make sure to stop back in with a smoke report when you can. If you want to post any pics here please do. I try to update this journal a bunch so anyone with future grows of this have some decent info. Thanks again.

Just got some pics done w/o the hps on. I'll edit those in here in a few. I turned off the fans, and there is a great citrus smell! I definitely see how these will cure to a lemony scent. I really think these will turn out fantastic!

Update: Day 20 flower

Just some pics without the HPS on, and some as it was starting up.
