Sour Diesel. (Royal Queen Seeds)

Celesto Here’s my selection of Sour Diesel from the previous grow. The cuttings were taken 5 weeks ago, and they took about 15 days to root. They spent 3 weeks under a 150w LED panel in a 1L pot on a 18/6 schedule before I started the diary. Sour Diesel *1 for the smell, Sour Diesel *3 for the bud density.

Celesto New LEDs, 30W panel with 1500W efficiency. We'll see how it goes.

Celesto —

Celesto I pinched the top of the plant at the beginning of the week. They seem to not be growing as fast anymore and are focusing on the growth of the branches.

Celesto The plants are growing slowly but surely, they are definitely taking on a bushy appearance thanks to the topping. It's hard to maintain a good climate in winter under LED, I cut off the intake and air extraction, I opened the filter flap of the box and the blower heater is on 3 times for 15 minutes a day.

Celesto Changed the light to 260w LED with a pink spectrum, equivalent to 1500w. Watering 1.5L once a week.

Celesto The plants have gained volume, the two in the back measure about 60cm. Still 7 weeks of growth before placing the two biggest ones outside! I didn't pinch this week. 1 watering of 1.5 L for the week.

Celesto The plants are really big in week 10 of growth under LEDs. Small setup, I hope there will be enough space until March. Another 6 weeks, I hope they don't suffocate each other. The tallest measures 70cm and 73cm. It's possible that before week 16 I might have to remove them...

Celesto I removed some dead leaves from the bottom of the plant. I think I need to defoliate a bit because the lower branches aren't getting any light and are slowly dying off...

Celesto A has grown a lot this week! They are beautiful!!

Celesto The plants are big and bushy, I'm finally going to put them outside for the Off-Season harvest at the end of April.

Celesto Here they are outside, and the sun is caressing them for the first time. I left one in a big pot and the other three in the ground. I dug a big hole before filling it with horse manure, heather soil, coco, and worm compost, to which I added two handfuls of bat guano. I mixed it all together, set the plants in, watered them with 5L per plant, and finished covering the top with the rest of my coco to protect them a bit from the cold since I ran out of straw. I stretched the branches by making sort of tent stakes with small pieces of wood and fishing net, to which I attached a piece of wire shaped like an "S" to hang the branches, so I wouldn't attach the wire directly to the branch and risk tying it off.

Celesto It's been 1 month since they’ve been outside. It took 2 weeks for them to acclimate to their new ground, then they showed their first hairs 2 weeks ago. So they are 2 weeks into flowering and normally have another 7 weeks to go. The plants are about 1.30m tall and the LST on the branches has made them bulk up!! I'm really happy they're healthy. The Sour Diesel in the pot handles temperature fluctuations between day and night more easily because the volume of soil cools down faster than the soil in the ground, which is a bit protected by all the other roots of the surrounding plants. I added horse manure on top to create a warm layer to help them withstand the cold nights.

Celesto Sour Diesel in a pot is magnificent, the colors it has taken on are very beautiful. It's also the most beautiful Off-Season Sour Diesel of the 4.

Celesto The Sour Diesel are really beautiful, the colors of those in pots are impressive, you can see Black, Purple, Red, Yellow, Orange, and of course Green :-) The smell is starting to smell good like Mandarin :-). Very happy with the spring grow.

Celesto Another 2 weeks for the Sour Diesel in pots, the others until about another month I think. The colors are really beautiful! It's autumn!! There's a very strong smell of tangerine candies, wow! The flowers of the plants in soil aren't very big because there has been a cruel lack of sunlight due to the arbutus tree, a huge African tree that casts a lot of shade at this time of year....
