Seedsman Auto Sour Diesel Haze coming up!!!👍
I love the Sour Diesel strain so I'm really looking forward to this one. Also, the Seedsman Auto Lemon I just harvested was very impressive. I'm going to go lighter on the training from now on because I want to be done by end of May/early June. My grow is in the attic and its gets crazy hot there in the summer, even in VT.
My Perpetual Harvest strategy…. Originally my plan was to start 2 seeds each month, but had some seeds from one breeder that did not germinate early in my rotation. Ultimately, this caused single seeds to pop and messed up my 2 at a time plans. But, that seemed to work out OK, because now I think starting one seed every 3 weeks is a better strategy. This should provide me with 4-5 plants at a time, instead of 6. However… Since I need to shut down over the summer because my tent is currently in the attic, I’m starting 2 seeds at at time for the last couple of rounds.
Plants get fed once weekly on weekends. Seedlings get water only. Plants in vegetation get water and Recharge. Flowering plants get water, Recharge or Big Bloom (Fox Farm). Feeding is done using 2 gallon watering can. Any additional waterings during the week are given on an as needed basis per plant. I lift the plants to help determine which plants are more dry (lighter) and provide water any plants via water bottles and watering spikes.
I give each pot a quarter turn every day in an effort to make sure the plants get equal lighting from all sides. I rotate the plant in place by turning the pot 90 degrees (I am not rearranging the layout of the plants in the tent on a daily basis).
The soil is an ‘organic super soil’ I mixed myself using organic top soil, organic potting soil, organic compost, organic peat moss, organic perlite, organic vermiculite, lime, epsom salt, expanded clay pellets and Jobe’s organic fast start. I am also recycling my soil and water with Recharge when using recycled soil.
For plant training I have tried a variety of things, but my plans now are to do LST bending only, no HST anymore. I may decide to go back to HST again in the future, but I’m curious to compare LST training only to see how that goes. Around 3 week I'll do a FIM cut/pinch once there are 4-5 nodes established. And some defoliation around the 3rd week of flowering. I have been doing HST bending and having good results, but think the HST may be causing the plants to take longer to harvest. I hope LST only will help increase harvests while getting me to harvest sooner.
Setup:
1- Grow Tent 24”x48”x72”
2- Viparspectra 300W LED’s (1-V300 & 1-R300)
1- Hanging 100w CFL (26w actual)
1- Carbon Filter w/ 190cfm Fan & 4” ducts
1- 6” clip-on fan
1- 700w electric heater - oil filled radiator (in front of air intake behind tent)
The seedling broke ground on Thursday, March 22, 2018. Since then she's been growing steady. Have her directly below the CFL to help prevent stretching in veg. Had some extra water mixed with Recharge and Big Bloom and gave a little to her.
Sour Diesel Haze is coming along nicely, lots of upward growth and node development. I gave her a FIM pinch this week. Expect the flowering stretch to start at any time. 👍
Seedsman Sour Diesel Haze is in its pre-flowering stretch, she grew a lot over the past week and I don't think she's done stretching yet. Excited to see how big she gets! 👍
Holy stretching Batman!!! Sour Diesel Haze has taken off this week and I don't think she's done yet 😃
She's just starting to show small white hairs, so maybe I could call this the first week of flowering, but I'm going with the last week of veg for diary purposes.
All I can say is WOW! Sour Diesel Haze is HUGE! Tons of bud sites developing all over and looking beautiful! She has the potential of being my largest plant to date! Looking forward to watching her buds fatten up and harvesting. 👍
Sour Diesel Haze it taking over! She's huge!!! Bud sites have started to fatten up a little. I think she's done stretching (at least I hope so, I have my light cranked up as high as I can go in my tent). Looking forward to watching her fatten up during flower! 😃
Sour Diesel Haze is starting to put on weight. You can see the buds are increasing in size nicely. Stared giving Mammoth P this week, hoping to see some nice benefits from Mammoth P!
Sour Diesel haze is packing on some weight. Bud development is looking very nice! She still has a way to go (3-4 weeks I assume). I backed down a little on the Recharge this week, but still giving twice the suggested amount. Also still giving her Mammoth P. Will start with MegaCrop (Greenleaf) nutrients later this week. 👍
Sour Diesel Haze is looking beautiful!!! Getting closer to harvest, but still has a few weeks to go. She smells amazing!!! I'm looking forward to the smoke report on this girl - next month! 👍
Sour Diesel Haze looking and smelling wonderful!! She still has a few weeks til harvest, but she's getting close. I have a feeling this will be my Diary of the Month entry for June. 😃
Sour Diesel Haze is coming along. I'm starting to see what looks like a little bit of foxtailing to me. I'm going to start flushing her, then harvest in about 10 days.
Hello GrowDiaries Friends,
Unfortunately I was in a car accident last week. I shattered my heal bone (calcaneus), fractured my face and tore open the side of my face around my eye. I’ve had a few surgeries to put things back in place and I’m feeling better each day.
However, my injuries prevent me from caring for my plants personally. One of my best friends (who is also a grower) has been helping with feeding the girls and my wife has been pitching in with waterings also. All of my plants are still doing well, but its too much to ask for them to take pics and videos as I would normally do to update my diaries.
I’ll be off my feet for at least 2 months, but I do plan on updating my diaries as I can. Which will probably be mostly harvest reports. I’ll miss taking care of my plants and doing more GD updates for now, but I’ll be back!!!
With the help of my wife I was able to harvest the Auto Sour Diesel Haze. She was cut down and trimmed last weekend, hang dried for a week, then placed in jars this morning. She has not cured yet, but I did smoke some this morning and she is already delicious. Definitely taste the diesel and there is also a nice fruity after taste. I'm sure these flavors will be more enhanced as she cures, she does still taste pretty green too.
I'm very appreciative of all of the help I have received from my friends and family. And also very appreciative of all of the positive vibes from my friends here on GrowDiaries. I've had 3 surgeries since the accident, but the doctors all say I'm healing nicely and expect a full recovery. Unfortunately, we just found out that our son, who was a passenger in the car, will need to have surgery on his hip this week. Please keep the positive vibes coming for him! 🙏
I have to say I am very impressed with the strains from Seedsman overall. This Auto Sour Diesel Haze grew pretty huge, and the results are great! I'll be growing more Seedsman strains in the future! 👍
@Dirtydraggel, BTW, I water about a 1/2 gallon per plant per watering. So flowering plants get 1 gallon per week (maybe 1.5 gallons for thirsty girls). 1/2 gallons is 1.89 liters.
@Sgtoso, I got the grow bags from Amazon. Here’s the link:

Nearly 3ft tall? 😶 I've just potted mine up, the size that even just the first few leaves have by now scares me a little bit, to be honest. I think I've started growing a monster.
@Chamalla, Yeah, she's a monster indeed. I still have a few weeks to go and I'm hoping for no light burn issues. My Sour Hound is even taller though - over 3 feet. That is the one that scares me the most at the moment. But it should be a fun harvest! 👍
@Hawkbo, yeah, she’s huge! I just started with the MegaCrop this week. I didn’t really notice much change afterwards, but everything looks healthy. I’m going to keep on using to see how they turn out. They sent me a few other nutrients also. I’ll be trying some of them soon.
@JerMeds, Yes, they are water bottles with watering spikes. I was using them more a while ago but stopped because it was just easier to top water. I decided to give them a try again to get more water/food to the center of the root zone. FWIW, I also had ceramic watering spikes that I thought worked better for slowly watering but they kept cracking.
Wow shes beautiful and organic, very nice. I got a free Auto Sour Diesel Haze seed with my last order. Now I'm super excited to grow this one. I cant wait to see your finished results.
@bobo420, The CFL is for seedlings mainly, and a little for side lighting the big girls. I like to have it right on top of the seedlings to help prevent over stretching. When I had the LED’s closer I was getting LED burn on the bigger plants. This set up seems to work pretty well for my perpetual harvest strategy.
@rusty_grizwald, I trained the fuck out of my Mexican Airlines and she stayed short too. But with nice colas everywhere. I'm going to do some training here, but mainly just LST and Defoliation because I really need to be done in early-mid June. The attic is going to he hot as hell in the summer. Too hot for growing for sure.
