Dried seaweed is no problem as we eat it everyday in our lunch soup so we have tons of it. I will prepare some for my next week visit.

I will prepare some for my next week visit.7-8mos sounds about right for a good Paraguayan Sativa like I think she is. I don't know about incense ashes, but a small amount probably would not hurt here. The issue to be cognizant of with ashes is that they are very, very alkaline and push pH up very hard, so a small amount is all you really need.
She's showing a need for potassium here, now, too. Fortunately it's relatively easily supplied, the issue is what can you actually get a hold of, and what can you easily transport to the site. Can you get a hold of dried seaweed? If so, crumble it up if it's not already in a meal form, make a 24hr tea with it. Make it very, very concentrated so you don't have to slog so much water up and down the mountain, and use that around the plant, not directly on her roots, but around the edges of her canopy. This will help the plant 'decide' whether or not to take it up.
I'm trying to think of what else might supply a good bit of K... gonna have to give it a thought for a minute.
Fantastic! I remembered yesterday as I was eating a banana that you can also use the following: Banana peels made into a tea (24hrs+) and potato water, and potato skins.Dried seaweed is no problem as we eat it everyday in our lunch soup so we have tons of it.

I was in another city 6 hours from here these past days and was able to buy at a florist a very rich potash. I explained to the florist what I was growing and showed him the photos. He sold me some small bags of potash. The ingredients on this particular potash were NPK of course at a ratio of 15, 15, 15 and also boron, calcium, chlorine, copper, iron, magnesium, manganese, molybdenum, sulfur and zinc. I added that to the plant today.How quickly is it available?

the low would be between 40s and 50s, the high will be around 50-60sIs the 40 and 50's the low or the high next week?
Keep her her going she should survive in those conditions maybe just a little slower growth. She looks bigger then last week so that's a good sign.the low would be between 40s and 50s, the high will be around 50-60s
The temperature these past days were below 50s, even close to 42 at night but raising to 50+ during the day. This coming week is not supposed to be that cold but it will rain a lot.Yep, agreed with GrowGod on that. Let her go as long as you can. That fertilizer should do the trick for you very well. I suggest starting off using small amounts. Looking really good!

As you can see it is changing color. Is that good or bad? The trichomes are still clear. It looks like it has not stopped growing with new leaves coming every week I go look.[/QUOTE

Forgot to ask something. Will frost harm the plant/flowers?
The change of color is one of the metrics I use to gauge whether or not the plant is done, it's been a long, long time since I've really messed around with looking at the trichomes. Anthocyanins and other metabolites are the reason for the plant's appearance. I can see that she's got pistils turning brown, probably due to the cold is my guess, unless there's a chance there's a male close enough that he's pollinating her, but something tells me that's less likely.The temperature these past days were below 50s, even close to 42 at night but raising to 50+ during the day.

She doesn´t smell so much during the day unless I touch her. Then my fingers get very smelly, very sweet and the smell sticks to my fingers. There are no males around or closeI personally have not had frost kill the plants, and I have tried to kill plants by leaving them out in the cold and snow. But I know others have had different experiences. I've had them live through temps as low as the mid-20s Fahrenheit with no obvious ill effects, and they were in 1gal pots. At this point, given the temperatures, any more growth should slow down or stop and she should just finish the flowers, so to speak.

Those temperatures are very cool, but not cold enough to kill her. They should force her to finish faster. How does she smell?
I can go there often now(everyday as a matter of fact) but it is raining season so it is difficult to inspect for mold and many other things. The forecast for the next week is rain, rain and rain; with temperatures dropping for the next couple of days but then rising again. It will not drop so much this time like in the beginning of October. Temperature will be around the 50s. The biggest fan leaves are gone now but new ones, not so big, are still popping out and the older ones are turning yellow. As you can see it still looks very green and alive and very wet this being the rule now.Are you still limited to visiting it once a week? Inspect her closely, if you see any signs of molding or rot, any brown buds, it's time to g ahead and take her.
