Day 36
Both plants are in flower now and it looks like Sour Stomper is really about to stretch. Today I fed and watered with the full complement (Grow Big, Tiger Bloom, Big Bloom) according to the Fox Farm feeding directions. I only fed at 50% however.
Day 37
Plants look good the next morning after their feeding. I’m going to keep an eye on them to ensure there are no nutrient issues.
Day 39
Raised the lights back to 18” today. Watered as well as they were looking as if the Sour Stomper needed it this morning (see pic). Other than that, they look great.
Day 40
Plants are still looking great today, we hit 70 outside on Christmas Day but everything is moving along fine.
Day 41
Another good day, this grow is going better than my last - that means I learned something. I checked the plants today, they’re darker green than ever. The Sour Stomper buds are growing fast.
Day 42
Six weeks old today. I’m feeding again today, with a full schedule of Big Bloom, Tiger Bloom, and Grow Big. The plants seem to be loving it so far. It’s been crazy warm here for late December. We’re supposed to hit 70 again today so keeping temps down will be a little trickier today but we should manage fine.
That SS is crazy, I just harvested a "Night Queen" from RQS that grew exactly like it. I was wondering for some time what the hell caused it. Thought about cutting it down awhile ago but went ahead and grew it out. It was frosty af, drying right now.
Higher temps in flower leads to fluffy buds.
That SS pheno is amazing, she has grandparents landracing genes. Will be real beauty by crystals at the end.
Good luck !
@AsNoriu,thank you for the comment. I raised daytime temps from 75 to 77 last week and will see if that helps. They are in a tent in a detached building that I keep around 66 degrees so that's the temp they fall to at night. They both look healthy and I'll see them through till the end. It's boom or bust with the SS and either way I learn something.
Looks great, hope you enjoy your harvest! Have seen only 2 other ones grow like that before! It's crazy and has to be a pain to trim! Looking forward to seeing what you do next!
@Cyrusdavirus, hopefully that's the case. It supposedly only has a few weeks left so we'll see. This is a very fast auto. If it turns out well, I'll definitely source some more seeds.
@sandspur, I think that's the sativa side of the strain showing itself, extra light will help but it wouldn't be able to stop it from stretching 😉 that's just how most sativa will stretch, but they can fill that empty space with bud making some long pretty buds
@Red_Day, thanks for the comment. It definitely wasn't, but in truth most of this hits a grinder. It didn't have a lot of fan leaves and the bud structure didn't have a lot of embedded leaves. It's still the strangest thing I've seen. On the flip side, it's the best smoke I've grown.
@Cyrusdavirus, sure is. She has a few larger buds midway down the plant but most of her is willowy. It's getting closer to harvest for that one. I can't imagine trimming all that.
@Cyrusdavirus,thanks! It really took off this week. My first grow had some issues that I've avoided so far. Hopefully that continues.I still had a good harvest with that one so I'm keeping my fingers crossed here.
