End of week 7.
This week has been better than the last. Thankfully there have been no other signs of bud rot on any of the plants, but I have added a couple of extra air circulation fans just in case.
Comparing to last week the buds are still filling out and the fan leaves are fading nicely. The trichomes actually look like they are at peak potency on a couple of plants with ~95% milky and ~5% amber but I am probably going to let the plants run for another week as I would prefer a slightly more couch-lock type of high.
Also happy to report that the smell from the plants has improved in the past week - a couple of plants are still not very great smelling (the one pheno that smells like raw liver, and the one that smells like rubber) but overall the smell from the tent is now very sweet. Not a single hint of lemon though, just a generic sweet weed smell!
EDIT: Spoke too soon! Found a very small patch of bud rot starting on one of the other purple phenos - thankfully it's the one with disgusting terps that smells like raw liver. Have chopped all of them down now so I will update the diary in a week or two when they are dry.
Nice plants. I know you may be disappointed by the overall grow and quality for this strain but you haven’t done bad at all IMHO
Plants look healthy but maybe it’s because the pot size is so small for them. Maybe 1 or 3 gal pots would yielded a bigger harvest and give them the ability to develop a better root zone n ward off diseases through increase nutrient uptake n metabolic processes
I’m still excited to see how these turn out as the purple phenols certainly look delicious.
Do all of them have the same smell or are the purple phenos a little different from the rest?

@Wadadli_Kush, Thanks for the comment.
I do agree the pot size is very small but that is part of the challenge for me. Unfortunately I am very short on space so nano grows are pretty much my only option although I may also try a grow with just 1-2 plants and train them heavily to stay low. It's all a learning experience at the moment! My previous (and first ever) grow of Maple Leaf Indica really surprised me because those plants went through hell being defoliated/topped/dried out all during flowering and they still made it to harvest just fine. When I did chop them down the root balls were in remarkably good shape, no sign of any root loss or anything and they were actually in slightly smaller pots than these believe it or not.
With regard to the smell that is actually my least favourite part of this grow so far - the terpene profiles of all of these plants are just completely random there is no consistency whatsoever. Growing the plants all together with direct comparisons it really seems that it's a highly unstable strain. None of the healthy plants smell like lemon/citrus at all, and perhaps the best looking plant (back left) actually smells really horrible - it's just like raw liver/blood.
I will withhold my final judgement until after harvest and drying, but if the terpene profiles of the growing plants are anything to go by I am going to end up with 5 different types of random weed from a grow of a single strain.
Flowers are amazing, and the colors are awesome 😍 excellent job! 👏
Good luck with your growth🍀
