FastBuds Purple Punch... Formerly 'Tester #2103'
~Grown 100% organic in a 5g 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.
Both phenotypes were grown under a UnitFarm UFS3000 205w Full Spectrum LED with a 19/5 light cycle from seed to harvest and were a blast to cultivate.
They grew 64-67 days respectively and both produced some super frosty buds absolutely covered in trichomes which should make this an epic strain for extractions!
Neither of these Purple Punch auto's ever experienced any issues whatsoever and took everything I threw at them with aplomb and remained extremely healthy throughout the entire run, having great color and vigor. They both started flowering in typical FastBuds fashion at right about 21 days, and with their wide node spacing, produced some lovely compact round buds absolutely covered in trichomes that have a fruity/sweet aroma that hits you before you set eyes on them!
After they finished, I gave them 72 hours in the dark @ 67℉ before being hung in my 'drying room' where they stayed for 8 days @ 66℉ and a RH of 57-63%. After the eight days hanging they were ready to be trimmed up and placed into jars to cure which I like to be 4-5 weeks at a minimum which will greatly improve the taste and terpene profile!
This FastBuds Purple Punch Auto developed rounded compact buds with super fat calyxes with beautiful purple coloration expressing from one phenotype, while the other pheno had beautiful lime green buds with orange hairs that provided a breathtaking contrast of colors, especially with the heavy coating of white 'frost' that BOTH phenotypes have produced that covers their flowers with that beautiful snow covered look that all of us seek. The buds give off a mouth-watering mix of sweet fruits with a spicy touch that hits you before you even set eyes on these sticky buds!
I had to try a 'test bud', though I usually prefer to let them cure for at least a week or two before I sample. This strain has a definitely sweet taste, almost like biting into a blueberry pastry that lingers on your tongue! This Purple Punch has a high THC level so the effect is fast and powerful relaxing your whole body almost instantly, allowing any position you may be in to be extremely comfy, melting you into a comfortably numb bliss!
Even with the strong Indica effect, 'couch-lock' won’t be an issue thanks to the 15% Sativa genes that help contribute a pleasant creative head-high that leaves your mind clear, aligning your Chi and placing you in a state of Zen. This is the perfect strain to get you through a busy day stress-free, ease those sore muscles after a long day or just having a epic night out with friends...Purple Punch is a crowd pleaser for sure!
FastBuds has hit yet another homerun with this strain. I'll be looking forward to running it again (maybe with some more wattage next time!) and gladly give it my Official Canna Prophet Seal of Approval! Don't think twice, go get some Purple Punch and experience the 'knock out'!

Hey great commentary....I am a newbie to growing flower, but an avid gardener. Recently invested in a Gorilla 2x4 and 4'11" high w/o the 9" extension. I have 2 HLG 225 in the tents. When I bought these Barney's Farm seeds from North Atlantic Seed Co. I got the impression they were about 30"/80cm in height. I understand Barney's & FastBuds are different gentics but wonder if I germinate 2 seeds transplant to 3 or 5 gallon fabric pots and LST if I'm going to be packing too much flower in my tent...any thoughts? Should I wait and grow these outdoors in NY?

I find FB give very accurate specs and details about their seeds.
Purple punch is purple, quite strong, fruity but more like a Spanish reserva with lots of other subtle terpines going on. Extreme bag appeal.
I had very healthy plants like previous fastbud grows. Two phenos: One was deep purple all over loads of ginger hairs. Giant calyxes, not very dense, Sticky. Looks cartoonish, and tastes like finewine. Finished 10 weeks.
The 2nd pheno is greener up until mid flower. Beautiful purple, mauve, pink buds when mature. Potent, fruity, incensey.
Both have a mixed sativa/indica effect. They put on a lot weight right at the end. Possibly the best scissors hash I've had.
If you want quicker finishers, I recommend stardawg or West coast og. They are also stinkier.

excellent plant just not really purple
I couldn’t wish for a better plant because she was easy to grow, fast and yielded like the best of them. The only thing that I can find at fault with Purple Punch is that mine wasn’t purple at all. In every other aspect it was top notch.

So good I nearly finished it all before curing was over
I’m generally less greedy than that but with Purple Punch I couldn’t help but try it right out of the dry room and I’ve been smoking this amazing stuff day in and day out ever since. It’s such a creamy and earthy treat and the smoke is balanced and incredibly strong.

Purple Punch turns my brain in standby mode
That’s how it feels like to be punched in the face! I get completely spaced out, the thought process slows to a crawl for like an hour and a half, then the ability to think returns and there’s this beautiful afterglow in the body that lasts for another couple of hours.

it’s a hard hitter so newbies beware
I’ve been smoking for 15 years without a T-break and even I’m afraid of Purple Punch at times. I once tried to smoke it in the afternoon and ended up staring into space for three hours instead of doing what I was planning to do. So make sure you’re done for the day before you roll a fat one.

I can’t believe I grew this!
I went an extra mile trimming these buds because they looked great from the start and I wanted to make them the best looking buds I ever grew or bough. And they were perfect - beautifully shaped nuggets, dense, rockhard, smooth in texture, green and golden, with orange streaks, I can’t stop admiring them!

This was my first grow ever. Secret Jarding equipment, High intensity LED lighting. Big 15L fabric pot in an Autopot arrangement. Pre-fertilized generic soil. I did not feed nutrients at all until late bloom. Barely corrected the water. I made many mistakes and she endured them all. Took longer to harvest than expected because of this. I made a partial harvest in week 10 and chopped her down in Week 11. The yield is not the biggest at around 80g (approx 220g/m²). But the quality is outstanding and oh my god, this stuff is strong! I just got back to consuming weed after many years of absence and this stuff is way too hardcore for me to vape in big quantities. So I will probably make some extractions and edibles out of it.
