zSkittlez - Only One Left

And we are coasting to a finish at this point, just topping off the bucket sun up/down.... keeping PH at 5.8ish and managing temp between 65-80. How much longer will she last? So the leaves are turning/dying,.. interesting they seem to be turning a dark red before a yellowing sets in, some darker then others. Dark sugar leaves on a few of the top are purplish, likely the grapefruit coming out. It has lost close to 60% of the sucker leaves at this point, basically defoliating itself for me. In the next week, I expect that 60 to half... and only 30% left. The buds are bulging and on the last 2 grows, when this stage sets in, flowers will follow. So I am watching the big main colas for low hanging pollen sacks that will pop as a sign of last desperation in the plants life cycle. Could be anytime with this strain and environment, based on past grows. Didnt see a whole lot of amber through the scope will continue to look daily. Do see waves of milky trichomes, with edges of clear. We also see that pistils are turning dark red as expected, but very small percent at this time. Imma keep pushing her, will go ahead and hold back from nutes for flushing reasons, topping off with plain water from here out. Options could be to take any branches that seem ripe if pollen sacks break, rather then take the plant. The bottom flowers are just now getting going and we can likely double that yield going a full 10-days more with them; we could realistically get to the 3 oz. dry mark. Gameplan is full speed ahead, pull back on feedings, watch for pollen sacks and lets take this bad lady out another week. *************************************************************************** Mid week update D84/F57 The purple is real and likely induced due to low temps, which I believe also induced the 2 foxtail plants. Lots of new white pistils, continued plumping of the flower and trichomes are still milky/clear. But the biggest thing going is the underbelly growth below the net. Typically I am looking at the lower part of the plant as a scrub and use it for infusions, however since I have the space to spread things out a bit, I am now looking at a sea of nice popcorn buds that are just starting to flourish, fatten and frost. Need to get these developed to boost the yield.... full speed ahead!
