Solo Cup 2020 - Nobody01

Summary: Truckin’ along, but wish she wouldn’t stick to the speed limit so religiously. First of these seeds to not look fairly bud-like after 42 nights. Based on recent development, I’d wager 49 nights or more to get to that benchmark. That’s pointing toward a 70+ night bloom period. I have 72 possible just to include pictures of chopping it down. Oh well, hopefully the harvest is not the most important point of the judgment process. Typical light smell of chocolate early on. --------------------------------- 70 / 40 days - Well, this is going to be a very dark and purple-ish canopy I can already see. Due to familiarity with this seed-line, I can also tell this one is developing more slowly than the previously germinated. Thankfully, the contest isn’t necessarily about the harvest and more about difficulties of growing in a small, root-bound space. By now there should be some serious plump visible in the top colas -- not swollen or ripe, just more the bracts/pistils creeping up the stigmata and coated in tiny developing trichomes. I see a little of that, but if not big changes in 2-3 days I’ll be concerned about finishing this plant in time. Should have had another week’s worth of time had I not made a couple mistakes early in vege period. 21 day vege is better. 71 / 41 days - SSDD 72 / 42 days - Possibly picking up the pace. A few visible bracts displaying only the intials stages of ripening as opposed to a whispy hair projecting from unseen bits. Rah-roh, this plant is slow. Figures of all the ggxww seeds, this one is the sloth. PM - gave some fertigation. Felt extra light. 73 / 43 days - SSDD - give a little less at night. Fill up to lip 1.5 times, not 2x. A tad dryer in AM would be good. 74 / 44 days - Looks healthy. Still turning purple. 75 / 45 days - Top leaves have turned a full shade of purple. Lower leaves are turning too. Space heater was added to room. 69-72F minimum temperature from now on. This strain has a tendency for purple leaves, regardless. They are healthy, otherwise - not crispy or clawing etc. A surprisingly very healthy plant. Possibly the healthiest plant in bloom box at moment relative to 45 nights. Most likely due to proper drainage its entire life. Future of garden looks good after 6 months of doom and gloom then adjusting to new lights. Biddy-biddy-bop, funky, funky. 76 / 46 days - Really needs to pick up the pace! Must be some kind of joker… maybe a steer.. oh shit, that got all f’d up. Major malfunction, see summary above..
