Week 8 - I definitely saw growth this week - stretch growth again. Both plants stretched around 9" this week. The sour stomper buds still have not thickened much but there is a lot of bud growth itself this week. If I'm following along the same schedule as the other SS grows I see, I have 2-3 weeks left tops for her to fill out. It's going to be interesting to see what happens here. The WW is also behind where my last grow was. I'm curious of what the different is but that plant has some time left for sure to grow.
Day 49
I had to remove the stand under the plants today as theyโre getting too tall. This allowed me to drop the lights a little. I need to figure out something below the plants but theyโre fine for now. Iโm giving a full feeding with nutes and water today. Plants are really growing fast.
Day 50
Iโve lowered the lights a bit today. I feel like Iโm getting lots of bud sites but the growth is not dense. Weโll see how this works and Iโll look for light burn.
Day 51
Watered again today. Watching the Sour Stomper - she has really stretched over the last week. The White Widow is starting the catch up height-wise but doesnโt have nearly as many bud sites.
Day 52
Raised the temps a couple of degrees today. Everything moving along as normal.
Day 53
Well my inexperience is showing a bit here. The plants look great but the structure of the sour stomper just seems so different than the others Iโve had. It also looks different than some of the other Sour Stomper Iโve seen on the diary pages. Weโll see how it continues to grow.
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 ๐ 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.
