[Downhomedude]

So after raising the lights the leaves seem to have straightened out. Will water tomorrow and post some pics. Peace!

15F:
Sour and Blue seem to have settled into their new home just fine. I've recorded approx 8" of growth since putting them into flower. Here they are bathing in LED warmth, with closeups of some of their developing flowers:

Sour OG flower:

Blue Widow flower:

So after biting the bullet and supercropping a few branches of Sour, everything was looking good til I went back in this morning and messed with one to see if it was still bendable. Snap! Electrical tape to the rescue.
Hoping for the best.:speechless:

It will be fine I snapped a few of mine it didn't hurt it at all there is a old method my father uses where he cuts a wedge pice of stalk completely then he bends down the cola to seal the cut then bud tapes them together and the plant heals up and gets on with it . I do not recommend you try this method until you have had many years hands on my Father has been growing since the 50's .

It would be a blessing to have someone that experienced guiding me along!

22F:
Performed a nuch needed defoliation of the old growth and sucker stalks on the bottom 1/4 of my plants. They look much leaner and have better light (and air) penetration thru their branches.

Sour OG is about a week or so behind the Blue Widow - must be a genetic thing.

She is getting some lil' frosty flowers tho:

The Blue Widow is filling in nicely and has quite a few sweet looking tops:

And her flowers are jaw-droppingly beautiful. Starting to see some sweet dusting of crystals now, things are looking very good.

I love how this plant grows, each strain unique and all good looking ladies!~

28F:

I added another fixture w/ 5 more bulbs, 180 true watts for 22.5w / sq ft.
This should be sufficient to get me thru flower.

Starting to see some stacking of buds on both plants as the flowering sites become more prominent and sugary:

36F: Adding two new gals to the mix, Miss Super-Lemon Haze and Miss Chernobyl!
The two new young ladies are 36V and outpacing the stars of the show by about 3 weeks.., barely got them thru the veg feeding schedule!

Things look a bit cramped but I'm thinking they will learn to mingle:

Cheers! ~DHD

41f: buds filling in. Had to tie up the leaning Sour OG.

6f: both new ladies perking up, slh is taking off.

First grow / 49F:
Buds are continuing to fill in, trichs are getting cloudy, almost done!

SourOG bud:

BlueWidow bud:

Second grow / 14F:
These ladies are taking OFF!

Dominating almost a third of the tent, SLH is looking good with plenty of flowering tops:

Crowding back in the corner has not stopped Miss Chernobyl, she is adding inches by the week.
(If you can see the thermometer in the corner, you can see she has grown about 8-10 inches at least since being tented):

Until next time - cheers! ~DHD

54F: Late night peek at some frosty buds! :)

Looking frosty bro! How long you think you're gonna take em?

 

[Downhomedude]

I want to chop em at 60 days, my trichs are getting cloudy so mid next week should do it eh?

I like mine cloudy with just a touch of amber. Are they still swelling at all?

 

[Downhomedude]

They're getting thick but I'm not seeing any new white pistils really popping. I'm hoping by Wednesday I'll see a few ambers.

Although, I did a test run trim and dry session with an errant branch. I just tried a little bit in a quick burn and I SERIOUSLY underestimated my handiwork. Let's just say that the 'home-grown' stigma is gone from my mind. I was not expecting it to kick so hard.

The Sour OG is good to go for sure. :cool:
