Okay, I'm a week behind on posting updates here. I'll try to get the other one up today or tomorrow as well.
Day 71
Removed the garden tie that was containing the sour stomper this morning as Iโm worried about potential mold issues without air being able to pass through.
Day 72
Watered with food today and in doing so realized the plants are increasing their water intake. Iโm going to move to watering each day to see if this helps.
Day 73
Watered again this morning - they are drinking a lot now.
Day 74
Watered with Cal-Mag Plus added this morning. It appears that the leaves are recovering their color. I needed to trim a little but overall weโre looking better today. Iโll continue to monitor.
Day 76
Watered today - no food. Got some more trichome shots
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.
