I have to go to on a trip for a week so there won't be any detailed updates or pictures until next Saturday. I really don't want to leave right now but its for work so I don't have much of a choice. lol.

I took a bunch of pictures this morning here is the grow tent this morning.

I noticed today that I have two different colour phenos.
Five of the plants are starting to turn purple while the fan leaves are turning very light green and purple. But one plant doesn't have any purple at all and all the fan leaves are still very dark green.

here are a couple pics of the two different coloured buds.

Lighter Green and Purple Bud:

Dark Green No Purple Bud:

I like that one plant is completely different than the rest. It could be something special or it could be shit, either way its kinda exciting because its a rarer pheno than the other five plants.

Plant #1:
This girl is my biggest plant. It is a monster compared to the rest.

Plant #2:
This is my smallest plant but has some of the nicer buds and it also has the most purple and lightest green fan leaves of all the plants. This plant was the only one that I managed to fim when they were in veg, I think this is the reason for it being so much smaller than the rest.

Plant #4:
This is the dark green plant with no purple on the plant anywhere. All the others have purple on the leaves, buds, stalks and stems but this plant shows none of this. It looks dark green and silver with trichomes.

Plant #5:

This girl is well...... average I guess. Nothing to really comment on it.

Plant #6:
Another average plant.

Plant #7:
Ummmmm........ I was smoking a joint when I was taking the pictures and forgot to take pictures of #7. All I can tell you is she is the tallest and has some nice buds but this one was also the hardest hit with pollen from the hermie and will probably produce the seediest buds.

I got home from my trip late last night well after lights out so I had to wait until this morning to see the girls. I couldn't believe the change from the last time I seen them last Sunday. Some of the plants are getting very dark purple in places. I am thinking that some plants will be ready before others as there are a few phenos in there.

Here are a couple pics with the flash on. I find the flash shows the purple colour better.

Plant #2 Day 48 Flower

-Smallest plant but I think it was the botched FIM I tried in veg that slowed this plant down. This is my only FIMed plant.
-Darkest purple plant in the bunch. This one will pretty much be black by harvest.
-Most yellowing fan leaves and lowest PPM run off at waterings but drinks the least out of all the plants.
-Mild sweet mixed berry smell, almost a berry's and cream smell.

Plant #6 Day 48 Flower

-Another dark purple pheno, not as dark as plant #2 but I think it will continue to get darker.
-Smells like a sweet hash berry, coffee mix. I like it.
-Looks like a light yielder or might need a little longer than most of the other plants.

Plant #7 Day 48 Flower

-Tallest plant in the room. It stretched the most.
-The buds look like another short flower time strain. I think it will be done with plant #5.
-Bigger buds than most of the other plants and very dense too.
-Smells mostly hashy with a very slight hint of berries.

Well the plants are just about finished. I harvested the hermie that was outside last week because we are getting heavy frosts and snow. The wife says the buds feel dry but I told her to keep drying it until the branches the buds are attached to snap. I figured this will keep me with some smoke until the females get dried and cured properly.

I have been working away from home for the past two weeks so my wife has been watching the girls for me and considering she doesn't partake in cannabis culture, she is doing an awesome job. The only shitty thing is she doesn't know how to check trichomes for ripeness and has no desire to learn. I'm hoping to be home by Monday which will be 8 weeks exactly. The breeder says this is an 8 week strain so it should be done or pretty close. If for some reason I don't make it home, I'll have to get her to harvest the plants without me checking the trichomes. I can't wait to see my jars full of purple/black buds!

Well it looks like I might make it home tomorrow. This will also be exactly 8 weeks of flower for the plants. Hopefully tomorrow night I will be making finger hash :mrgreen:.

I will also post pics of all of the plants with details about each one.

I am considering revegging all of them until I get the cure done as I just can't bring myself to possibly throwing out the best pheno as far as smell, taste and effect go. The only way to truly pick the best one as a mom is to keep them all until I get a good sample of each. Then I will probably toss the rest.

Who knows, I might toss them all. Lol.

I thought I would be trimming right now but while traveling home I was diverted to another job. Thank goodness it's a quick one. I should be home sometime tomorrow night.

Because I was delayed getting home, my wife agreed to pull most of the fan leaves off for me so trimming should go a little quicker.

Plant #3 a hermie that spent most of its shortened flower cycle outside in less than optimum conditions was harvested a week ago and was hung dried is finally dry enough to put in jars to cure. I'll update weight when I get home. I'm guessing it will be around an ounce.
