Day 57 - looking good, pot still very heavy so won't need to water for a couple of days at least.
Day 59 - still fine for water. I have been watering the little girl every other day, will need to increase the frequency now as she grows.
Day 60 - gettin frosty. still doesn't need water. guess it is a small plant after all.
Day 61 - she finally had a drink, 2L water with 2ml alg-a-mic per litre. also gave the baby girl her first feed, I had some biobizz bio grow hanging around so made up a light mixture and sprayed the tiny pot down thoroughly.
Day 62 - looking good. I realised my light was running a tad too hard, checked on my meters and was clocking in ~800 PPFD at the centre - definitely pushing it on a 20/4 light cycle. adjusted it back down to ~650 PPFD average. guessing it was like this for at least the last two weeks. plant doesn't seem too stressed by it, although perhaps the excessive foxtailing is a symptom. who knows, glad I spotted it anyway. I will leave it as it is for the next 5 days or so and then knock it down for some ripening. never done a ripening stage before, and may skip it considering I have another plant on the go and this is my only grow space. we'll see, I might be able to rig something to raise the baby plant closer.
Day 63 - oh we are getting so close! the plant looks about 2 weeks out to my eye - some of the trichomes are cloudy already, with some gorgeous purpling as well. mostly clear however. day 75 is a good target in my mind but not making plants just yet. gonna be just water from here til harvest anyway.
Another week closer, the plant looks amazing. Obviously a bit of a stressful environment the last couple of weeks with the light running so hard but doesn't seem to have had too much of a negative impact. The plant looks very frosty and getting frostier by the day. I ordered a new vaporiser today so that should be here by harvest time - can't wait to sample her flavours!
Thanks for reading, see you next week!
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 :)
