First Grow! Ethos, Purple City, Mephisto

Day 50: Watered 64 oz per plant in the morning. Still seeing deficiencies but didn’t have time to feed before work. The buds are filling out and getting less wispy, so even with all these issues I’m optimistic I’ll get some sort of harvest out of this. Day 51: Either last week’s nutrients weren’t strong enough or haven’t mobilized yet, because more leaves are now showing signs of a deficiency. So I topdressed another 2 tbsp of Gaia Green 4-4-4 per pot, and watered 30 oz just to incorporate into the soil. Probably will do another feeding this weekend, it’s getting late in the game to wait longer. On a positive note, trichomes!!! Day 52: Leaves look worse! No surprise there. The Purple City plant seems especially distressed, but the others are showing signs of illness as well. So I topdressed each plant with another 4 tbsp of 4-4-4 and 32 oz of water to integrate into the soil. Hope to see effects from this and yesterday’s feeding in a few days? It’s a Hail Mary, we’ll see if it’s enough to keep them alive to harvest. I also removed all of the remaining LST wires, as the plants have pretty much filled all of the available space and seem fine without guidance at the point. Day 54: Yesterday I (very) lightly defoliated some of the worst-looking leaves. I'm not sure there's any benefit to doing so, but it improves my mental state, which hopefully will transfer to better plant care. And this morning the plants were looking slightly better—or at least not worse—so perhaps the nutrients are beginning to uptake. I was short on time so quickly watered about 24 oz per plant. That didn't seem like enough, but I was late for work, so I may supplement with a bit more later. Despite my mismanagement, the buds are fattening up and starting to get frosty, especially on the main colas. Day 55: The bleeding has stopped, I think we’re recovering. 32 oz of water per plant this morning.
