Started 8 seeds, chose the healthiest 4. All 8 germed and sprouted. 4 inch rockwool cubes. Will automate watering in a few weeks 👍 Good luck in your gardens!

One of these gals looks stretchy sativa... Hoping she doesn't turn out that way. Didn't expect to see any sativa influence in a double indica cross🤔 Hopefully I'm wrong 😁 These have been a little slow, but started picking up the last couple days. My humidity was too low so I added a humidifier and they seemed to really appreciate it.

Not the fastest veggers, but doing OK. No deficiencies and no sign of over feed so we are on track. Pinched one stem a few times on the stretchiest plant.

Gaining some size, few pistols here or there but not really showing much signs of sex. Setup the automated watering as they are finally drinking a good amount per day.

Flowering has started, they are all similar heights with minimal stem pinching. A little bit of stretch in the last week or so, but nothing crazy.

Great uniformity in this strain. Heights stayed very similar, similar shape, similar everything. Starting to smell like coffee and earth and similar.

Autopilot pretty much from here forward. Did the last defoliation to make sure airflow is adequate, pruned off all bud sites/leaves that still weren't getting much light after that.

Stink, stank, stunk... Wow these plants STINK... Like earth, coffee, skunk and a dumpster. One starting to show purple colors, another super frosty. Definitely the smelliest plants I have ever grown. I will grow CV again...

It's interesting to note that I usually see light burn on my plants after 6 weeks of flowering. The first six weeks they seem to prefer high levels of light, and then as things start winding down I have to raise and dim the light. It took me a few grows to see this pattern, but I think next time after about 5 weeks of flowering I will raise my light in preparation of the plant needing less. This generation of LED technology is capable of giving plants all they need and more at very low wattages. I built this light to only pull 90 watts from the wall and it can absolutely hit the max amount of photons a plant needs on a 12 hour period in a 2x2 foot space.

I have time before I need to put something else in this tent so I'm going to let these get really amber, and really ripe. So far not many amber trichomes and still white pistils. At least 2 more weeks, maybe 3.

We are one month into curing on these guys and I am really happy with the results 😃 These are some of the best plants I've grown, if not the best. They are super frosty, super stanky, and have a great high and they yielded very well. For a SoG from seed grow these would be a great choice because the plant morphology has almost no variation, but there is some variation in the terps and the effect, so you get variety of effect/smell/taste with the ease of an even canopy. The terps are a strong coffee/skunk smell that has a lemony kush tone to it when the buds are smelled directly. The high is 100% feel good with heavy relaxation but only minor sedation. The exception to this would be the purple pheno which is super strong, semi-racy yet still relaxing high. I would have guessed the purple would be the most mellow but it is not... Thanks for stopping by, and good luck in your gardens!

I'm stealing the data from your light study😏

@Animatey, Cant wait to see how that goes, I've heard co2 is the next pinch point after light so I got into it. I'd rather not honestly, it's a pain to keep level up and you have to recirc your room or tent if it's big enough🤷‍♂️

@MaxGrowCanada, I have heard that can help, and it could def be part of it. Even at normal levels though I should be able to go higher on the lux so I'm not sure... I'm going to try to go back to 6 inch cubes this next run and see if that helps. Currently I am watering these 4 inch cubes an awful lot and I'm not sure if the root zone is happy...

@Animatey, 🤔 maybe it's the co2? I ran my whole grow between 1000-1500ppm

Such beautiful plants. I hope for my next round I am able to sog as quickly as you. 😎

@MaxGrowCanada, thanks bud! I think your SCRoG will yield a lot better, but sog is nice for speed :)

Hey, plants look great👍 If those plants are autos I would raise the light schedule to 186. I don't mean to intrude, but autos flower on their own, no matter how much light. Some people run their lights 20 hours a day, but I like to give my plants a 6 hour rest, seems to work for me, I've gotten great results. Hope this helps a little👊 Grow Big!!

@northernMike, hey bud, thanks for stopping by! These are photoperiods that I switched to 12/12 after only a few weeks. I usually only veg my plants 3 weeks because I put 1 plant per square foot. Thanks for checking!
