Day 15: looking a bit droopy and in need of a drink, so figured I might as well give the first light feeding. I made a mix of ~1.5ml fish mix and ~2ml alg-a-mic per litre, and gave a total of about 200ml to the bigger pot. Didn't need the pH- in the end as this mixture came out around pH 6.4 when mixed. Keeping a 500ml spray bottle of the stuff for application over the next week. I'll probably stick a Biotab in the pot at the end of the week and move away from fish mix. it really really really stinks. Day 17; gave a small spray of the aforementioned fish/algamic mix to moisten things up. new growth looking great. Day 18: more watering today with the same mix, gave a more thorough soaking today. removed supporting plant tie too, she's leaning a bit but appears stable. looking super healthy, really pleased so far. Day 19: hottest day of the year so far and temps in the tent reflected it a bit. gave her more water as the pot was feeling a bit crispy. re-attached plant support, not keeping her upright any more but just to keep her from leaning too far over as she grows up. Day 20: applied PM Evolution spray again before lights out. will probably do another week of this and then once flowering is underway I will cut it out, as it can apparently affect taste/development of buds. noticing some very mild signs of over-fert on the newest growth, some very slightly burnt tips. perhaps the fish mix is a bit too much for this plant at this stage, or maybe I went a bit hard on it. gonna hold off and just use a plain water for the next few days, then once I insert the biotab I'll use the biotabs nutes (orgatrex, bactrex), plus a lil bit of alg-a-mic weekly. I have some CalMag ready to go, but my water is pretty high in calcium anyway and the alg-a-mic should supply sufficient magnesium. I also have some non-organic PK booster for when the time comes, as I think I can get better end product that way than just relying on biotabs - but I will keep the grow "leaning" organic for the next few weeks anyway. Day 21: began LST today. very lightly bent the main stem over and secured with a ground hook. will continue tying down with safety pins/twine as the plant grows, but this is the first step to creating an even canopy. definitely noticing some very mild over-fert at the tips of the newer leaves, looks like the fish mix was a bit much but it shouldn't be too detrimental to the plant's health. I'm gonna give her a day or two to recover from LST and then add a biotab plus biotab nutes to the pot. Pot is feeling a bit dry I will likely give her some plain water/alg-a-mic water later today after lights out period. still really hot here, sitting comfortably at 24c in the tent. Another week in the books. Growth picking up dramatically in the last few days. I expect her to fill out a bit more over the next week and then for the flowering stretch to begin. Looking pretty healthy overall, really pleased with the development. Surprisingly stinky in the tent already! Nothing to concern me or make me worry for my stealth, but a lovely pungent vegetative aroma greets me every time I open the tent door. Thanks for reading, see you next week!

@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 :)

@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.

I am loving her purple notes. I have not grown an indica nor a purple strain at all. I want to try that next! Hope she turns out trichy!!!

@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
Kitties_and_Colascommented3 years ago
I have 2-3 springing atm but only on my Granddaddy Purple, never correlated purple strains and foxtailing..I think you're right about that
GreenHillZone
GreenHillZonecommented3 years ago
@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 :)
