Creme de la Chem - Mephisto Genetics

Day 43: I top dressed yesterday with 2 tsp/gal (10 tsp) of Down to Earth Rose & Flower which will be her last feeding of the grow. I then watered it in with 4L of tap water ph'd to 6.5. The day after (today) she sprung up as usual and I defoliated a little bit more to open up some of the tops that were being hidden. I'm pretty sure over the last week she's managed to double the number of tops which is phenomenal. Really excited to dive into the mid/late flower stage with this one. Day 44: Smooth sailing today! Day 46: I've since watered again since my last update, and will probably have to in another day. She drinks a lot now and quickly and I manage that by watering more often in smaller quantities rather than the opposite. Airpots allow for pretty obvious characteristics of "dry" soil, in other words its very easy to tell when the pot is dry. The most apparent sign to me is the weight of a dry pot vs a pot after I water 2L. I have noticed that she's pretty much done with her stretch (not that she stretched much tbh) and is now focusing on bud development. Lots of trichs already forming in and around bud sites on what will be sugar leaves in the end. I'm noticing some very slight colorations in the pistils, sometimes at the base and sometimes at the tip, a few purple and some orange forming already. I'm really hoping for some fall colors on this plant once she fades! Day 48: All is going well! I'm really hoping I don't screw anything up before harvest as I want to keep this momentum going. I watered yesterday with 4L of ph'd tap water. I am going away tomorrow and won't be back until Sunday so I decided to give her a bigger watering dosage so she doesn't sit there dry while I'm not home.
