anyone running the Platinum Punch yet?
I have one at 8 weeks today. Super frosty, probably one of the frostiest stains I've ever grown. It stretched around 2.5x I'd say and has really nice branching and spacing. Around week 5 it started to purple up and now is mostly purple and frost. Buds are solid and yield should be pretty good. Really impressed and happy with it! I have another one 4 weeks in veg and looks identical to the one flowering. I'll let you know how it is in a couple weeks when it's dried and ready for some sampling before curing.

Give it up for In Herm Genetics. How these guys are still top in the game I don't know. I guess you just need slick marketing and access to cuts.
Getting males in your fem pack is bad for sure but how do you know it's a hermaphrodite and not just a regular male seed from a stray grain of regular pollen? IHG also makes regular beans so they have males around. Somehow I doubt they do their chucking with infections disease lab level isolation and decontamination. Seems like a little bit of pollen from a previous run or a missed preflower could easily cause a male to sneak in. Likewise when you get a female that don't look anything like the others in the pack...

No hairs just balls... wouldn't surprise me if it was stray pollen... but they have a history of packs being mislabeled

This is my last bean from the 5 pack of Plat B i grabbed last year. I grew out two others, they were well loved. Another 2 beans i lost fumbling with that unfamiliar OES packaging. This is a stinky girl, vibrant as can be. I moved her to 5 gal yesterday and she's gonna sit outside for a little bit noticing the shortening days (40°N). She's about 5 weeks veg, I had to keep her small. She might not look her age. Psyched to see what I can do with her 2nd time around.

what did you think of the plat b flavor? Im gonna try and get some cuts off this lady. I didnt think plat b was definitely elite at first but months later i feel like it had a lot of good qualities and maybe I could grow it a little better.

i cannot give an proper report on potency or taste really cos the buds were crushed shredded & mauled to remove seeds in the shucking process, though i still found her qualities very presentable & look forward to growing out those different offspring which will be planted early september
