Welcome back to the Purple Punch grow! My new grow space is seemingly dialed in now after a few alterations on the fly to get things comfortable. for a week or so I think the plants I'm growing probably suffered low temps, but hopefully they wont be slowed down too much.
Day 60 - Height: 14"
Care for this plant is basically non-existant at this point. She's just coasting to finish, so I'm dialing back on nutrients and getting her ready for the chop! There is something very strange going on though, her leaves have gone very hard and brittle and the buds themselves are tock solid. It seems like whatever was causing the brown rust in the veins that started around about week 5 is maybe causing this, but I'm convinced this isn't a deficiency, as the plant would not have needed for much of anything else at that point. I wonder if it is a disease of some sort, or something just genetic. Of course, it could be a deficiency, but it doesn't seem to square up with any pictures or description of anything I can find. I'm really not sure. Anyhow, the colours are looking great and the smell is a cheesy funk, so although the yield is going to be low, partly due to whatever is going on I think and partly due to me having to move the grow mid-flower, I think its going to be a good smoke.
Looking good, I once had a plant that had fairly similar symptoms to this one however I believe mine was caused after a brief powdery mildew infection. The plant continued to have hard leaves but was still producing buds well. It's hard to tell sometimes and it could just be a weird random thing but I thought I'd let you know about my experience with similar symptoms.
Happy growing!
Peace ✌️
@UKPersonal420, It's weird when they do something like that isn't it, I guess it's all learning though! Appreciate you telling your experience, if nothing else it makes me feel slightly better haha! 👌
