Day 50 - looking a bit worse for wear today. A lot of the fan leaves on the outer branches are showing pretty severe signs of deficiencies. assuming this is the calmag/whatever defs from last week manifesting fully. The main cola is mostly unaffected and the buds seem to be still doing their thing, so not massively concerned. I will add calmag to next watering in a couple of days and see how it goes from there.
Day 51 - removed bamboo cane, the damaged stem seems fine so gonna leave it as is now. The main cola is a monster. Little girl doing her thing still.
Day 52 - had a realisation while checking the plant earlier. The damage I've noticed has been mostly to the outer leaves, which I noticed some were touching the walls of the tent. It clicked with me that as it's been unusually hot here, as in a lot of parts of the world, the walls of my tent may be hotter than they have been in other grows. Perhaps there's something to this thinking, since the majority of the other leaves, especially in main cola and centre of plant are unaffected.
I choose to forego a circulating fan due to the tiny space/noise restrictions, and it's worked for me in the past with a way bushier plant, but maybe it would have been a good idea this time around with temps a bit higher than usual. Still considering a PC fan at least, some concerns about mold/bud rot on such a stocky plant.
Day 53 - gave a drink today and decided to throw some feed in too. Gave 2L water with 5ml Orgatrex and 1g Bactrex per L
Day 54 - looks and smells amazing, getting excited. Gonna be about 3 more weeks I think.
Day 56 - 8 weeks old.. they grow up so fast. Looking really nice in the tent. buds developing and starting to produce a wonderful aroma. lots of foxtailing going on but I believe that is a characteristic trait. buds look great anyway, I'm very pleased. even the little girl is chugging along nicely - I will begin feeding her soon
All in all a fairly uneventful week. I think I got to the bottom of my leaf damage - combo of some deficiencies, no circulating fan and leafs resting on the walls of the tent. The plant has continued to exhibit wonderful growth so not too worried. I don't think I will be feeding the big girl any more. The biotabs in the pot plus orgatrex feed this week should be enough to see her through.
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 :)
