Here we grow...

Did a walk through this morning and found four large dead fan leaves up top, while that old growth was yellowing and browning and falling off these four top leaves just dried and curled up and fell off to the touch of my finger this morning.
I must have just mis measured something or am doing something horribly wrong that no one has caught yet... buds remain pretty, i wish i didn't have to see dead leaves when i looked at them though...
My wife keeps stealing the camera so when I remember to get it back some more pictures will come.

Here's some shots of my lst'ing of some of the lower growth to keep it inside this 3X3 foot print. Also, this is ending up to be the biggest bud on the plant, this was always the taller of the two main colas, thus being the alpha bud of this plant :)

I can't get the camera to focus correctly, POS i guess, plus I can't get good light on the one way back there in the dark... The two main colas... for now...

I went ahead and watered this morning, even though 3 days had passed, the dirt wasn't as dry as it has been over a three day period... i guess less leaves means less work the plant is doing so less it's drinking....
I went ahead and gave her 2 gallons of water but this is how I did it this time:
1 gallon was PH'ed 5.8
1 gallon PH'ed 5.93

I didn't use any PH up or down this time though, instead I just mixed the well water and the RO water that I have been using... the well water is around 4.7 PH and the RO water is about 7.9 so I mixed about 4 parts well water 1 part RO water. and Bam, PH up down free plant water! Good run off from this watering.

Just a quick note, since I turned down the cfm on this blower I have sucking air out through my filter and blowing it through my sealed light and out of my tent, I've noticed about a 3 degree drop in temps over all... it got down to 69 degrees the night I made the change, i had to turn my ac back up a degree! now the range should be somewhere between 70-76 night/day
quieter too, but after hearing it 5 minutes I couldn't tell a difference anymore.

wow, just as I type this, my AC makes this thud! and them the fan revs back up and sputters back to life.... don't die on me now baby, give me just a few more weeks!

My baby needs to sleep so lights on pictures are all I can do for now... if you can over look the curled tips of my leaves then i think there will be some pretty buds in there in about a month...
also, this is why I want to do a ScrOG next time because all of the side branches on the main lst'ed stalks are now their own little mini colas... actually quite a nice size for this particular plant considering the rest of the growth. That is freakin awesome. I can't wait to break one of these suckers in half and crumble it up in two hands while taking a deep breath in.
I also took a couple pictures of the lower most buds on the plant, the smallest and puniest even looks yummy to me, I'm thinking of taking a sample bud in a week or so, then by the time it's ready to smoke (two weeks) I can make a choice when to begin giving her nothing but water...
a few more fan leaves have yellowed and fallen off, dare I say that I think the issue might be kinda slowing down...

Those buds look like they're filling in nicely. Looks like you'll be having some good results after all. ;)

Thanks man, she is fattening up alright, I'm going to try like mad to keep her as healthy as I can for the next month or so because that's all she'll should do is fatten up and fill out and make thc for me as best she can (all things considered)

I'm tellin' ya man, now that it's right here in from of me I'm so tempted to break off one of these 13 little branches at the bottom and hang it to dry for a week and give it a test/trail smoke to see if that may help me determine how far out plants are from harvest in the future. I don't know, does that sound justifiable? lol

Watered/Feed with 1 gallon Well water this morning
pre-watered about 1/5 gallon strait well water

gallon contained:
weak 1/4 tsp cal mag
1 tsp molasses
1 tsp Tiger
1/2 tbsp Bloom
1/8 tsp Cha Ching
ph'ed up to 6.00
587 ppm

I waited four days instead of three this time because the plant isn't drinking as much as it was... i might only be watering or feeding every four from now on...

Last night I had a couple drinks and did something I don't think I'm going to regret, I took this tiny little snippet from the lowest branch, she's such a small flower that I'm not concerned about what yield I might've lost... besides this plant is bigger and fatter than expected, so no worries. I'll probablyView attachment 1127310View attachment 1127311 give her a few days to dry before I sample it..

It will probably give you a decent head high without a body buzz.. What day of flower did you cut it? It sure looks tastey though..
