Just harvested. More numbers and photos soon...

This was my third time growing 4AM and this may be my highest yielding 4AM yet. This is the first time I've really noticed a distinct cheese smell coming from the buds. Same average density as my previous grows. I defoliated heavily and it paid off with some great bud development on lower nodes. Had to tie the side branches up towards the end as the buds were too heavy :) Harvested at day 71 with may 15% amber showing.

Both of these plants had a rough start but hers recovered the quickest. I decided to LST mine for a comparison since they would be getting mostly identical nutrients. Hers grew tall and produced large but not very dense buds. His developed 3 main colas through LST and produced smaller but more dense buds. Sour Stomper is definitely a daytime smoke but not too cerebral where you get thinking too much. Very frosty buds as well as frosty trim and very resinous buds - great for pressing.

This plant was extremely runted with some serious deformations to start but I decided to let it grow. Not very large buds this time but very dense and covered in trichomes. Great daytime smoke with a delicious grape flavor.

I really enjoyed growing this strain! Very vigorous growth right from the start and began flowering on day 22. I let her grow naturally with no topping or training and I was pleased with the shape/structure. I defoliated a bunch through flowering and she didn't seem to slow down at all. Harvested at 64 days. Thick leaves which are great for disease resistance. She barely needed any nutes being planted in FFOF but did require a little Cal-Mag boost mid-flower. The buds are VERY dense and easy to trim. Not as impressed with the yield especially for a Big Bud strain but that could easily be my fault.

Definitely an evening smoke but I sometimes use it during the day to treat my headaches/migraines. Very pungent diesel smell. When you break the buds apart it also has a very "pissy" smell haha. Definitely a stinky OG! Tons of medium-sized nugs that are decently dense. I love the genetic purpling with this strain. Harvested on day 70.

Love this strain! Easily my favorite Mephisto I've grown. She put on a TON of frost and the buds are very dense. I even got a lucky split on a side branch and got 2 evenly developed buds right next to each other. Great daytime smoke.

As with the other plants in this diary I severely overfed her but she was the most resilient of the bunch and made it to a successful harvest. She stayed very short and bushy which helped with even bud development but required a lot of defoliation and LST to get air/light to some budsites. Can't wait for her to be done curing!

What a learning experience! First tent grow, 2nd from seed, first LED grow, first topping!!! This will hopefully be my last time growing bagseed though. It was somewhat of a struggle to do 2 plants in this tiny 2x2x4 tent, mostly because I ran out of vertical room which may have contributed to the foxtailing. Despite the plants being the same strain and being cared for identically (as far as I could tell) the plant that had 1 less week of vegetation yielded possibly twice as much as the other (and older) plant. Both plants responded very well to topping. The smell came on late but strong. I suspect I may have harvested a little too early but probably not by much if so. No nutes throughout veg and very little given in flower, mostly just worm tea and molasses. Going to be more aggressive with nutrients next time around.
