Week 8 (1/5-11)
Day 58 (1/5)
Gave her her nutrients this morning. Today is the day I started the Shooting Powder, which I gave 75% strength. As I type, I realized I messed up the Shooting Powder. It is supposed to be a packet/25 gallons of water. 65g pack/ 25 gal. = 2.6g/gal. 75% strength is about 2g/gal. I should have only given her 1g of powder mixed into the half gallon of water, but I gave her the 2g. Well shit, I hope I don't do too much damage. Next week the schedule doubles the amount of powder until the end of the grow, so I don't think it will be too detrimental. She got it all in a half gallon of pH 6.5 RO water. She looks awesome, I have never seen a purple plant in person. It's hard to not just sit and stare at her. Her smell has changed some, originally would get hints of berries when I would brush up on her calyxes. Now she smells kind of like grapes? That's the first thing that pops into my head. She definitely smells sweet and like fuel. I only really get much smell if I touch her or get in close, she's not stanking up the tent or anything....yet.
Day 60 (1/7)
Her pot is pretty light this morning, so I'll give her a drink a little later. I'll also pull out my little clip-on phone microscope and check out some trichomes, just to get an idea of where she's at.
Day 62 (1/9)
I think she is getting close, maybe another week or two? From what I could tell on the scope, she's got some cloudy trichs but not a lot of amber, and some still clear. Being a kush, I'm going to let her amber up more than I did my last plant (impatient) so that she is a heavy hitter. Pot was fairly light today, but may hold off until tomorrow to feed. Since her last feeding, her odor has kicked up a few notches. She's become pretty fragrant and smells delicious.
EDIT: I decided to feed her. Her pot was fairly light and she felt pretty dry later in the day. I'm hoping the color changes are from her fading out due to age?
This color change started a few days ago with my new growth. Is this normal? Deficiency? Something to freak out about? It looks cool but I don’t know what is going on.
