Day 8: adjusted light cycle to 20/4 and increased power, sitting around 14 DLI at the moment.
Day 12: looking good! Still using a spray bottle for watering, very gently in a circular motion. Will think about giving a bigger drink in the next few days, but all ticking over nicely so far. Could be a bit warmer but oh well.
Day 13: first application of plant magic Evolution spray. Held plant by stem and sprayed top and bottom until saturated. Sprayed some directly on the medium for good measure. It's mostly fulvic/humic/amino acids as far as I can tell, but let's see how she reacts.
Removed plant tie briefly yesterday. Noticed the stem is still a bit weak and still leaning to one side, so will keep plant ties in place for another week or so. Likely to begin LST in the next 7-10 days so hopefully she will be a bit sturdier by then. Also gave a slightly larger watering today, still with spray bottle but I saturated entire top layer of soil to keep the microbes happy. Light is at ~300 PPFD for a DLI of ~21.5 running 20/4. A tad on the high side but I'll keep an eye out for any signs of stress.
Day 14: end of week 2 and everything looking pretty good. A little on the slow side but it's a big ol' pot, and temps are a touch on the cooler side. Will begin LST once the plant grows another little bit, and begin applying nutrients in the next week.
Thanks for reading!
This is not a plant, this is a piece of art! Great result man!

@CHILLING_RACOONS, ah thank you kindly for dropping in and leaving that lovely message. I can't take much credit really - the combo of great genetics from @Sweet_Seeds and the super easy feeding regime with Biotabs. I'm a total noob but with these excellent companies in my arsenal it's hard to go too far wrong.
Gonna roll a bone and take a look through your diaries now, I'm always looking to learn more about this amazing plant and the cultivation thereof, and you clearly know what you're doing!
Thanks again growmie :)
@DoDrugs420, thank you :) Very pleased with it so far. In the hardest part of the grow now, there's about a week to go but I have seriously itchy scissor fingers!! Gonna pack a bowl and take a look through your diaries now, maybe I'll pick up some tips. Thanks for stopping by growmie
@Jaygrow1020_autoking, thanks Jay! Getting so close now. This is one grow that I really wish we had smell-o-vision for. Like blackberry milk that's been left in the sun.. in a good way.
@Vincent_Van_Grogh, thanks Vinny, she's really packed on since you left this comment. Looking like about a week or so left on her. She is pretty frosted at this moment in time, and getting more sparkly (and stanky) by the day
@Kitties_and_Colas, it's hard to say for sure. There are still so many unknowns with cannabis growing, but I have seen plenty of anecdotal evidence on the web that backs this up - across various forums dating back a decade. If you google "purple strains foxtail" you'll find a bunch of the stuff I've read.
@Kitties_and_Colas, ah interesting. Could definitely be a hotspot on my lighting setup. Still figuring it out, it's such a tiny space that my options are limited. I did have my lamp running about 15-20% above recommended (by accident!) for the middle of flower so it may be a result of light stress. However, these purple strains seem prone to foxtailing regardless of environment - at least from what I've seen of other growers' diaries. This is just a head stash for me anyway, and I happen to love the appearance of foxtailed buds so no complaints from me. Always looking to learn more though, so thanks for the input :)
