Day 65 - added a bamboo support for one of the branches. flowers are too heavy. :)
Day 67 - chugging along. so hot here but the plant is loving it!
Day 68 - even hotter today, about 28c in the tent. cranked the exhaust fan a bit. little girl doing her thing, she's had a drink of biobizz grow and bloom at 2ml and 1ml per litre each, plus some calmag @ 0.5ml per litre. will keep wetting her with this mixture this week and switch to bloom only next week.
I gave the big plant a drink of 2L plain water. surprised at how little she drinks, the last two waterings have each been a week apart! i guess cos she is on the petite side she doesn't need quite so much. definitely made this grow a breeze to manage. I did come across some references on the internet suggesting that Pakistani genetics actually prefer it a bit drier.
trichome checks showing some clear, some cloudy and even the odd purple stemmed trich which is cool! but not much in the way of amber. this could be a "two more weeks" situation, but will keep checking daily.
Day 69 - nice
Day 70 - 10 weeks! yowza! looks like this lady will run another week or so at least. glad of that, as the heat here is too much to dry in. looks like the heatwave should break next weekend so we may have a day 80ish harvest. took a little sample from the lower buds to try out. really pleased with how this plant is shaping up so far. home stretch now!
the little girl is not looking too hot unfortunately.. some deficiencies appearing, maybe rootbound in the tiny pot. no big deal, it's just an experiment to try and get the last bit of value from my grow space before moving.. but i will try and get her to harvest!
Anyway, next update will likely be the final one and then harvest update.
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 :)
