Day 72 - kinda just cruising at this stage. I've been checking the trichomes with my loupe - impossible to get a clear photo. she ain't ready yet anyway!
Day 75 - so close! almost all milky and some amber beginning to appear all over the plant now. She could likely come down any day now, but gonna let it go a bit longer. I gave her one last drink of plain water, about 2L, and will cut her down in the next few days
Day 76 - little girl got a serious haircut. not sure what the issue is with her but I assume it's to do with the tiny pot. Could be pH, could be root damage, dont know and dont really mind. trimmed all the dead/dying leaves off so she is basically just a stick of flowers now - we'll see how she develops from here! if I get a few grams off her I'll be happy.
big girl looking great, took another little sample and just flash drying that at the moment. it is almost jet black. gorgeous strain.
Day 77 - pretty much cooked, I'll cut her down in a few days and be back in a couple of weeks with harvest diary, drying method pics and weights... and a smoke report of course! I am very excited to get stuck into this plant, the samples I've taken have been lovely even when flash dried, so I can't wait to see how she turns out with proper dry and cure. Such beautiful colours.
Thanks for reading! See you in a couple of weeks
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 :)
