2/6 (Day 50) - 8th week starts. Smoothie 1 shows some faint purpling, and has had the most discolored leaves thus far. Smoothie 2 has the discoloration around the outer part of her upper leaves. Unsure as to the cause, but assuming it will not help her grow at her best. Zkittlez 1 has been pretty good most of the grow thus far. Zkittlez 2 has seemed to pray the most thus far in the grow, and is starting to have her pistils start to darken. At this point, she seems like she will be the one to finish first.
2/7 (Day 51) - Temps are creeping back into the mid 70s, I assume mainly because the intake into the fan comes from my veg tent, so instead of pulling mid 60 degree air into the tent, it is now pulling air that is likely in the low 70s. I could probably water today (4 days since last watering), but I think I am going to wait until tomorrow to water.
2/8 (Day 52) - Watered each plant 2L today. Plucked a few leaves as well.
2/9 (Day 53) - Noticed some more purpling on Smoothie #1 when taking todays pictures. Zkittlez #2 has some darkening of the pistils started, and she was the first to show flowering, so I expect her to be the first to finish, though I don't expect that for another month or so.
2/10 (Day 54) - To me, it seems the trichome production should be a bit more, but we will see as time moves along. Could be partly due to 18/6 lighting, but I have a couple plants vegging in there, and don't want to pull it back any further just yet.
2/11 (Day 55) - Nothing to note today. Hit a deer on my way home from work, so came home, took pictures, and then had other stuff to take care of.
2/12 (Day 56) - End of the 8th week. Could possibly have watered today, but dealing with insurance/estimates from deer accident today. Going to water tomorrow.
Looks like it's doing really well , Flowers are really showing and taking shape - I'm currently doing a Fastbuds Zkittlez and I have super cropped it. It's taken very well too it and is showing no signs of stress. Check out my diaries if you get a chance! Happy growing
@WitheredEye, Thanks for the kind words. At the very least I try to get 1 photo of each per day, and note anything that might stand out, or plans I expect to make. I figure it allows me to go back and look at them, and could also be learning experiences for others.
