Both of those lines purple pretty reliably. CFS usually gets the “sunset” effect around week 6-7 and goes from green to purple, green phenos at finish in that line are pretty uncommon. And Purple Frosting shows signs of color at a few different stages but also nearly always finishes purple.
Don’t take your Purple Punch flower experience too much to heart btw. The pure line is kinda hard to explain. It’s a much better cut for making oil. As oil it’s crazy loud and exotic and some of the wildest flavor you’ve ever had. But as flower it’s got an amazing smell but a fairly muted taste. I always have considered the best use for Purple Punch as the way it breeds. People seem to forget that I was the first breeder to release Purple Punch lines and the first person with a Punch cross on IG. I was showing off photos of Blue Hurricane on IG back in July 2016 and had those seeds made in May 2016, which was nearly a year before In House, Clearwater, and Symbiotic had crosses made. I had my first small batch of Punch crosses out in late 2016 and remade them only one more time along with adding a few new crosses in April 2017, which was about the same time others started releasing their Punch lines. But no one was showing Punch hybrids before me. I realized after making Blue Hurricane that as a breeder she absolutely shined and made some of the most insane resin density, flavor, and yields in crosses. By herself she looks like she’d be more special but she’s kinda weak on THC and more of a terp plant. Like I said as oil she’s an absolute joy, as flower there’s a lot better stuff to be smoking, but in crosses she adds a serious wow factor to almost anything you could name. She’s a well rounded breeder.
That all being said I retired Purple Punch officially from my breeding catalogue and moved on to a few other things I’ve created which I feel are evolutions of Punch. Among them is Face Punch which I’m now moving onto my limited line Fantasia with. There’s also Punch Farmer aka Red Koolaid, and I’m pretty excited to show off some future work with her. And there’s a few others as well that I felt evolved and built on the original Punch line. I never plan on being a one trick pony, to me Punch in its pure form is a bit played out in crosses and so I’m working with what I feel are evolved forms of what she brought to the table. After all, the goal should always be to make good weed better
You’ll enjoy both of the lines you’re growing right now, I’ve seen incredible things come from both, especially that CFS, total banger line
