This is just a really weird one for me. I finally returned home long enough to give about a week of care before having to leave town once again. She is showing good fade but that fade is also showing VERY prominent signs of deficiency which I now believe to be phosphorus. As I have mentioned earlier in the grow when she first showed signs of red on her stems, her genetic has always shown that on the stems however it has never progressed. I think the fact that I misdiagnosed the early signs as a mag deficiency caused it to just continue heavily until it became very prominent. I do not even now if I am on target with the phosphorus because I have never had a plant progress this heavily in deficiency. I believe this greatly affected her bud structure as they almost appear stunted when compared to the garden mates (I understand there is no real comparison there genetic wise). She has never been a very bulky bud genetic to begin with but she certainly did not fill out as nicely as the last attempt. Any feedback or insight is greatly appreciated! Flushed with 2 gallons pH'd to 6.5. I would have liked to do a much larger flush however, the current pandemic has really limited my access to distilled water so I used what I could get. She had another water during my absence on 3/14/20 of 1 gallon pH'd to 6.5. For the first time ever she had to have spring water as there was no other bottled water available to get her by until my return. Continued to remove any dead foliage. I let her go into week 9 last harvest seeking amber trichs however, her garden mates will be ready much soon and I utilize the room I grow in as my drying room as well so she will likely be chopped MUCH sooner this grow. The previous grow she went to week 10 with good results. Trichs are all milky. I generally like to aim for about 20% amber but others prefer a much more heady high and so I said I would give a full milky little to no amber harvest a try! The following week from this will include harvest including trichs but it will not be completed until after the drying and curing process is finished so that I have a chance to sample.
@MovingOn, This genetic has always typically taken me about 10 weeks to get my preferred 10% amber however I think you are exactly right. They are just about 100% milky and I would not at all feel bad to do it on week 8.
