Sour Crack Sub-Irrigated (Soilless/Hydro

This was a very fun grow.🤗 Plant 1 = 49 Plant 2 = 81 Plant 3 = 60 Plant 4 = 68 Total g = 258g Sour Crack has huge potential. Just like it was stated in the strain guide, Sea of Green Method works tremendously well. I should delete the LST entries because I bent two side branches and then decided to only defoliate. And man that was a great decision. It helped with lateral branching and exposing much more of the plant. It was also what kept the stunted plant growing. She had some funky growth in the earlier weeks but I just couldn’t leave her alone! Defoliate dad much as I felt possible and she came back and gave me a good yield of the most sweet berry smelling of the four. This leads me to believe that there are at least two phenotypes. One would be the earlier finishing more squat plant that yielded 49g, I could have chopped her around day 55. She stayed square but formed tight buds that wrecked like gasoline and sour. The other two that finished the same time had more diesel with the sweet sour berry undertone. Then there’s the girl that finished late, the lack of diesel could’ve been due to the extra stress from being stunted or a third pheno that leaves behind the gas smell. The octopots performed tremendously well and I can’t wait to unlock their full capabilities. A longer vegging strain could really harness the hydro reservoir and I am still amazed at the concept. My majors setbacks for this grow was probably Not pushing my nutrients as far as they can go. The plants responded well but I was scared of burning them. I also feel like there’s a shit ton of beneficial bacteria that I’m missing out on. The goal for next time will to be dialing up the soil food web system in the octopot. The implications of sub-irrigation leaves me watering at the mouth! I want bacteria poring out of my fabric pots! Actually, on that note I forgot to take picture of green algae that was growing on the pot...green algae is a photosynthesis machine! Motherfuck me! If they were working in conjunction with the roots then holy shit 🤤! Haha, no real way to prove that but green algae can be used to assume healthy microbe populations exists. Next I shall take on 4AM and I have recently got a smaller tent set up with half the amount of light so now let’s tackle efficiency!! 💪
