Day 53, better late than never
Did some PH testing Tuesday. It's still way off. Input 6.5 - output 7.7. That's a bad one. I guess it didn't help much to feed low PH some days. I went ahead and flushed her with PH'ed water at 5.0.
30 Liters later I did a new test. Input 5.0 - output 7.4! I give up. No wonder she is showing a lot of deficiencies. The plan for the rest of her life is to feed her with nutes PH'ed to around 5.5. My theory is that she will have a short amount of time to take some of the nutrients needed before it buffers up. I don't know. It's worth a try.
She is a thirsty girl drinking 1.5L per 24 hours of:
3ml/l Fishmix or grow
3ml/l Bloom
3ml/l AlgaMic
2ml/l Calmag
2ml/l Overdrive
Started the Overdrive a bit early because of the iron and zinc in it. It seems like she needs some of that too. Probably already in the soil, but unavailable because of PH but at this time I'm going by gut feeling.
So far she is still alive. Very much alive. Fills the grow space and gets clearly bigger day by day. Flowers looks absolutely fine despite her deficiencies. I think she will be quite a later finisher. She is at day 53 and still got a long way to go. 80 or maybe 90 days is my estimation. Hope she is worth it

Looking good man, buds getting nice and frosty now 
I think I've got a very similar pheno as you, mine barely had any stretch first 4 weeks but seems to be picking up the pace now... I guess some of these are just slow to start but finish strong

Day 61, still going...not strong, but going
Thanks. Indeed a low bushy pheno. She stopped at 53 cm. I thought she was never going anywhere at a time, but she picked up the pace. Buds looking great, the rest of her, not so much. She is a tough girl hanging in there. Buds are looking the way they should except the top. It somehow decided to stop vertical growth before it really started, but grew outwards instead. I like she puts the energy in the buds and let the rest of her look bad. Who can blame her in that PH, but she got her priorities right
Indeed very frosty and a very special aroma almost changing every week.
61 days and I think I will stop feeding her nutes in a few days. I mean, she can't use them anyways so why waste them. She still uses a huge amount of water which is a good sign afterall. Her hairs are turning an orange color of some kind pretty quick now, so she is about to end her life. I will try to let her run as long as she puts out new pistols and doesn't look like she is dying. Well she is already, but as long as she uses water, she is very much alive. I hope to keep her alive another 14 days to let those flowers develop. Don't judge a book by it's cover

Day 67, getting closer
I have removed a lot of leafs to let the buds have all the light they can get here in the final phase. I have stopped feeding and she will only have water from now till harvest. The trichomes are just starting to amber. An estimation will be 2-5%. The buds are not as fat as I have hoped for, but they sure are frosty. I hope she will swell a little more. She is maturing a little different from one side to the other, but that's ok. I will have some different types of effects.
