Sour Diesel First time Grow

This is my first grow ever. I need all the help i can get to make these beautiful girls thrive. Using a Mars Hydro pro 2 epistar 80 along with a 2.5x2.5x6 grow tent. The strain i have chosen is Sour Diesel from RQS. Genetic Background: Original Diesel x (Northern light x Shiva x Hawaiian) Type: Sa 70% In 30% Ru 0%

2nd week soon done. And so far i think they look really healthy and are growing at a nice pace. They have both suffered from some sort of mild temp or humidity stress but im not quite sure what it is?! #2 is growing a bit faster and really love the climate and misting. #1 on the other hand seem to be drooping whenever i mist to much and #1 have a bit slower growth but are still following along nicely. I am yet to decide to FIM or top but im sure that i will LST and SCROG It's my first grow so i welcome all help. I will start to feed the ladies with some more nutes to see where i can take em. Still feel i can strenghten up the nute solution and get even better growth but im scared that i might hurt the plant. I dont want any nute burn. Or can i just adjust to the burn as they become visual or should i avoid it? I am watering them everyday untill i get 5-10% run off. The seedling i only water till very little run off and i might only water it every 2nd day untill i feel it can drink up the water for everyday watering. Once i get 4-5 nodes i will water 2 times a day with 80% strenght and 5-10% run off. I Hope for the best :D

Decent growth this weak. Im not sure what im doing i either topped or fimmed at 4th node. I removed the single fan leaves on #2. will bend the top set of leaves when they grow a bit more wide. So far im pretty happy with this first grow :D !!! This strain loves water! Everyday !!! I fimmed #2 way to low and 1 node to early. Growth was stunned for around 2 days after fimming where as #1 recovered much faster. I waited for 4 nodes on #1 and the recover were 1-2 days faster. #2 Had alot better side growth after fimming but it still got stunned too much for my liking. Have some slight leaf problem still not sure if it is too humid at night! Nothing im worried about though!

Still going well coming into week 4. Some pretty slow growth for #2 it might be because i cut of the first set of true leafs. At the end of this week i have bend the main stems down with wire to try help lower growth to catch up. Been applying LST most of the week by bending some of the branches but they are not big enough for me to tie down yet. Applied my scrog net this week as well. I will let the girls grow into it as i will start weave it once it start growing into and above the scrog net. I have for sure been to rough with #2 as it is a bit to small but lower growth is really amasing and it have almost developed another main branch from the fim cut as its almost as thick and big like the main stem and top growth. #1 is growing super wide and big and i kinda like it. lower growth is still slow compared to #2 but it is growing a 1-3 more nodes due to the stunned vertical growth of # 2 I did catch some mildew on the first true leafs this weak on #1 and i cut it of and no sign of fatigue at all I am still watering once a day and they get around 1-2 liters of water everytime. I noticed a nute burn on of the leafs so i gave them 1/4 strenght for the rest of the weak will try and balance the feed schedule but i find it hard on my first grow ever ! :D will go back to 3/4 strenght feed schedule Ended the week with removing some fan leafs for the lower branches to get some more light exposure!

Start of week 5 from germination. Started the first day of the week with some LST on #2. She is hard to work with compared to #1 Think i had a nute lock but flushed with PH'ed water and 10-20% strenght. Seem to have worked. Will up my feeding slowly before switching to flower. All in all a fine week now im just looking forward to flower stage!

Started the week by cutting of a few big fan leaves that were blocking some growth. Looking forward to this week!

Switched to flower. Branches grew so large and canopy is evening out. Broke a branch on #2 so i ended up topping it. It will catch up i hope. I topped #3 and i really like the result. Much easier to work with. Been removing leafs almost every day from the bottom. Pretty nice progress though!

End of week 8 and they are groowing rapidly. I been a little lazy with the water but i think its kinda good to give them a dry period as they seem to hyave been enjoying it. Now im just waiting for the flowwer developing. I removed my scrog as it was getting to hard to water itcorrectly. But reinstalled it after some time, All in all a fine week

This week i have been trying to even out the canopy and i been lollipopping all 3 sour D's. My blueberry were rootbound i think and it is growing very tall as well. I did not use any techniques on the Blueberry as it is an autoflower i will leave it to grow on its own. Been lazy with water and the coco dried out once. I should have vegged for 1 or 2 more weeks to get optimal yield but i saved some time only vegging for 6 weeks. Next grow i will veg for a longer a period I am saving a few branches to clone as well as a monster crop clone !

I started the week out with defoliating quite a bit but left all leafs that do not block any bud sites untouched. Been watering every other day with around 3-4 liters for each. I feed every time. Been lollipopping. Now i am waiting for the results to show. I threw out my clones at the end of the week but have 2 other running at a friends place. My coco plants are much bigger than the soil plants due to under feeding in soil.

Very nice and smooth stretch. I under fed #3(bottom right), it is a but unfortunate but it will be ready before time by the look of it so i might have discovered a new technique :D Jokes aside, The Sour diesel is pretty sticky already and it smells really strong it is pretty sticky aswell(back row) The Blueberry420 auto(bottom left) is pretty nice as well. Smells super delicious ! Been watering every 2-3 days now with 4 liters each in coco 20 liter pots and around 900 ml water for plants in soil 10 liter pots each. Full strenght for all. I have been feeding full strenght the last 2 weeks. Before that i fed around 50-75% strenght. #2(top left) is looking a bit more frosty and im not sure why. took it thru a lot of stress as a seedling. i will experiment with that next time.

Removed alot of leafs this week. Now i am going to sit back and watch her fatten up. Sour D is a slow finisher around 10-11 weeks of flower. I have a lot of tall colas and a lot of small ones as well :D But the big ones are pretty huge. The stretch surprised me a bit so it was good that i kept her short. Blueberry 420 are following the sour d in height but blueberry only 6 weeks old and is an autoflower but practical none the less. Water schedule is to water every 2-3 days with 4 liters each in coco. 1 liter each for soil when the soil has turned totally dry and dry down to a 2-3 cm dept. All in all amasing plants in my oppinion :D

This week have been all about making sure the bud sights get enough light and enough water. They drink rapidly now compared to the first 10 week of its stage. Very happy with the result i didnt expect to do so well with that many bud. So i am happy with this still and still as excited as i were in the start of the grow. I learned to be more patients with plants. I am planning on harvesting in week 17-18. This will be bombass weed i can see and smell it. Smells like a candy shop every time i open the tent :D

Still a few week before harvest. I have stopped adding N as much as possible to my nutrient solution. It might help the bud swell up a little more the last few weeks. Also been adding big bud and bud candy from Advanced Nutrients. I will feed the girls 2 weeks more before going into flush. My soil Sour diesel is ready for flush anytime soon. #1 (back right) have suffered from being to close to the light while also not having enough airflow around it. Have fixed the air problem but cant bring my light any further up. kept around 22 cm from the tallest branch 30< cm from the rest which is the minimum recommended. They smell really pungent and the suger leafs and buds are coted with crystals. My autoflower (front left) is doing good too and i really cant wait to taste it. A good week (kinda)

Not much to report here been watering every 4-5 day to keep a good dry period to try and promote some trichome production without much succes on #1. I am now starting to think, it might have been a bad seed (Genetics) that i got. It have certainly been a big experience to grow my first seeds ever and to get an okay result out of it so far. Been keeping Nitrogen use down to a minimum. Been flusing my soil plants for the first time at the middle of this week

The girls smells amasing and are starting to fatten up. Some of the branches are starting to lean as the buds gets heavier and so i decided to start flushing at the very beginning of this week. I have planned a 10-14 days of flush but i might give #1 a few extra days or a week in flowering. I am flushing with PH'ed water (6) and i am adding 15 ml of Bud Candy for the first flush. I will add 7.5 ml next time and then flush straight PH'ed water for the rest of the flush. The buds on #2(back left) are stacked with frost and smells unbelievable. Like straight diesel from the gas station. And the auto flower Blueberry420 auto from AMS are just stacked with frost as well its not that visable on my camera but was under 12/12 from seed and will produce no more than 15 gr. in my estimation but for sure it will turn out some delicious smoke. The other 2 i dont want to talk about. Bad growing techniques from me and maybe one bad seed but super nice journey it have taken me on

Final report coming later
