The Devil Wears Nada

Diary Legend: 💧- Watered 🌱- Seedling 🌲- Cut Down 🍃- Defoliation ✂️- Topping or FIM'ING 🚂- Training (LST) Wk6 11/4/21: Day 36. Pot is feeling very light, so I will give it a good watering later this afternoon. Buds are filling in nice, closing up the gaps in between nodes. If I get anywhere near an ounce from this plant, I will be very happy. Looking forward to trying this again, but with proper training. If I didn't LST this one, I likely would have run out of headspace. 11/5/21: Day 37. 💧Pot was feeling very dry, especially since I forgot to water yesterday. No worries, gave it a large dose of water, all soil is saturated. Buds are still slowly fattening up, and the purple is spreading further and further up the leaves. The hue is exactly as expected from what I've seen from other grows, very, very dark purple. Almost dark enough to be considered black, as if it came from Amsterdam. Height is still manageable, as there hasn't been anymore vertical growth. Can't wait until I grow this again, but under an LED, and with a large amount of training. If I had the full tent, I could have spread this one out, and likely would have produced my largest plant yet. Oh well, I will try for that next time. 11/6/21: Day 38. Pretty soon I will have to start staking up the branches, as I can tell already that the pending weight of the buds will definitely cause them to bend. As the branches are tall, they collect light being cast to the side, causing the branches to lean inward toward the light. I moved the position of some plants, to help alleviate the plants desire to lean, having more directly underneath the light. 11/8/21: Day 40. I didn't wiggle the pot around at all yet, so I'm not sure if it needs watering. The top layer of soil is very dry, but that doesn't mean the lower portion is that way as well. I will give it a check later on when I go back in. 11/9/21: Day 41. Pot is feeling quite light today, so I will give it a nice dose of water layer one, when I go back inside. Buds are forming nicely, and filling up the stem. Some people were telling me I f****d up because of the node spacing, but they didn't even bother to look at what happened, and just commented on what they see. At first they were not wrong, but that's because it was stretching, and not budding. Now that it's budding, the gap between nodes is closing up. As it was a lower branch they refered to, it's never going to look as good as the main cola that's right beside it. They aren't meant to be the same, as side branches rarely have the inner buds sites exposed to light, so it is just the tops that develop nice buds. If I knew it was going to be a beast, I would have trained it properly to spread out and absorb more light. I know for next time, that this is one of those strains that can't be left alone, of you don't have space. 11/10/21: Day 42. 💧Pot was extremely light, so I watered it thoroughly. I removed one damaged leaf, not that it was causing an issue, I just didn't like it's face. Purple is spreading out further, and seems to be getting darker. Probably just me, and not actually darker. The smell is noticeable, not that it's a good smell. It just smells like a plant. Trichomes are coming in nicely, hopefully they become more prominent soon.
