Week 7- Day 1 of Flower (Day 110 overall) (Day 49 of Flower)
There was a couple of small super small sucker buds on the lower stocks that needed to be cleaned off but that was it. Just watching them Flower!!
5/24/2023
Week 7- Day 2 of Flower (Day 111 overall)
Tucked a few fan leaves below lower buds but didn't see any blatant offenders that needed to be removed. I typically do start my checks in Week 8 but since this is a new strain I decided to go ahead and do a Trichome check just to see what was what.. Just as I thought nothing but clear glassy Trichomes. I will check again in one week....

Week 7- Day 3 of Flower (Day 112 overall)
Just letting them grow today!! Smell is getting stronger I would say it is a hint of Pine and a heavier fruity smell.

Week 7- Day 4 of Flower (Day 113 overall)
I did Nothing but took some pics and I enjoyed it!!!! It is nice to be able to just sit back and watch them on auto pilot.. :-) Tomorrow Water Change Day!!

Week 7- Day 5 of Flower (Day 114 overall)
I admit it.. I had to defoliate a little bit.. I looked in while changing the water today and there were just a couple blatant offenders blocking the light from lower bud sites and those leaves they just had to go. Other than that I changed the water and this week is where I drop everything and start preparing them for this last phase of the grow. Loving a few of these buds they are starting to beef out very nicely.
I added 36 gallons
Mammoth Silica = .5Mil/Gal= 18Mil
Root DRIP = 1Mil/Gal= 36Mil
CalMag= .5Mil/Gal= 18Mil
FloraMicro = 3.8Mil/Gal= 137Mil
FloraGro= 2.8Mil/Gal= 100Mil
FLoraBloom= 4.6Mil/Gal= 166Mil
LiquidKoolBloom= 2.5Mil/Gal= 90Mil
TPS SIGNAL= 4.0Mil/Gal= 144Mil
ORCA = .5Mil/Gal= 18Mil
Water Temp= 70.1
Tent Temp= 76
Humidity =64 ** I have two dehumidifiers running on Ink bird controllers to try and keep the humidity down, In late in flower I like to keep the humidity above 45 but below 60.

Week 7- Day 6 of Flower (Day 115 overall)
Opened the back of the tent today and boy did she need some defoliation love in the back. Other than that I took off a few little sucker buds trying to form. I did start to setup my Dry space as well as did a Trichome Check today and the brown tips are coming in nicely.
5/29/2023
Week 7- Day 7 of Flower (Day 116 overall)
Found a few baby sucker buds trying to form so I removed them. Other than that I am enjoying watching her mature.
I also started my Reverse of the Clone I took 6 weeks ago in Apr from #3. I am uploading footage of the reversing process for your viewing pleasure.

Mar 10th
Week 13
CDP # 2 is doing awesome
Some LST required and possibly some more defoliation this week
CDP # 1 is picking up a little bit from last week but still far behind it’s sister plant
Mar 13th
Fresh nutrients today
More defoliation
CDP # 1 is still lagging behind
CDP # 2 is healthy happy filling out nicely
It is the biggest plant in the tent
Mar 14th
Defoliated CDP # 2 big time. Took me an hour or so.
This is an experiment with defoliation for me. I want to see if this will help provide the stimulus to produce buds instead of leaves. All in an attempt to get the biggest nuggets I can.

all 3 plants are the same strain from the same seed provider. I used Peet pellets for the first time and I am extremely disappointed. they all popped within 18 hrs, it was a promising start, but I think the webbing holding the pods together is constricting the roots on the plant to the left. there was a devastating transplant that had damaged some roots but the other 2 plants seem to be....ok
patience...
if you noticed I had a heating mat for about the first full month of growth, I live in an old apartment and we have old windows that don't hold the heat, I wanted the plants to grow and develop enough before I took it out of the room. this may have stunted growth for a few days this past week but I believe it was a must to keep the plants health... they were my last 3 seeds
SPIDER FARMER... I have had this light for under a year and was very lucky to get the adjustable dimmer when I did order it...its an incredible tool for growing and since we don't want light in the tent we can't have a digital readout showing power from the dimmer and this is why I got the "EVE SMART PLUG"... it works perfectly with the SPIDER FARMER light and will help me perfect my future grows.
SECRET JARDIN.... y'all need to do something about these loud 6" oscillating fans....I thought one was a fluke until I plugged the second in..... terrible, absolutely garbage...

Well not alot to report this week guys. The gals have been responding well to the 600w, the vertical height has stopped and we are just making some fat juicy buds. All the colas are really starting to develop. The very first few pistols are turning orange. Guessing we have around 3 weeks to go. The microscope is out and ready but trichomes still all glass like. Working on getting a camera with a good zoom hopefully I get one in time if not will be able to upload trichome pictures in future grows.
Have been keeping the feeds at 2.7ml this week and will be 2.2ml next week until the flush period. I will upload the complete feed schedule I have done with these plants on the harvest week upload. Can see the leaves showing signs of deficiencies still but guess this is good at this stage and makes sense with the tapering off of nutes.
Noticed the cool air was condensing on the intake tube and that is the reason our back right plant has a few burnt leaves etc, drops of water have been dropping on it and frying the leaf under the light.
When you rub the flowers and smell your fingers get a lovely minty/chocolaty sweet kind of smell, its absolutely incredible and makes me want to smoke these juicy buds even more no... but good things come to those who wait they say!
Enjoy the pics and as always feel free to give your comments and recommendations below, this is my first grow so mistakes have and will be made.

Getting super fat, calyx's have started turning a bit purple. Was concerned it was bud rot, inspected with jewelers loupe. Seems fine, will watch closely. I have cloudy trichromes, no ambers yet.

Healthy looking lady, although she's having to deal with a fungus gnats pest she's growing super fast and "healthy" not as healthy as she should but healthy anyways. She's gonna make a huge change once I apply the nematode called steinernema feltiae to finally get rid of gnats, peace out everybody! 💚❤️💛

smell is strong now. sour 76 has a range of citrus, number 1 is lemon dominated with fuel scent underneath. number 2 has a smell super similar to tangie! seeing sour 76 parent is cali sour d (cali orange x sour d x mexican sativa) cross to 76 afghan it makes sense to me it has reminiscent smell to tangie (cali orange x skunk 1 [mexican sativa x afghan indica x colombian sativa]) very similar parent lineages there! havin smoke test both, sour 76 is much more heavy handed high! plants finish at 66 days this run. at this point I gave last main feeds before tapering nutes back lower for week 8 and then flush week 9

Day 63 This should be the last week in veg. It might be a partial week...I'll make the call in a few days. I'm excited to see these babes flower!!!
Day 64: Last day of VEG! I set the timer to 12/12 and lower the lights to 18". These babes are ready to switch, based on my past experience. I hope they don't shoot too much in the next couple of weeks! Flower time is here at last!
Day 65: I tore part of a main top branch today and immediately put clonex gel and used some clear packing tape to secure it back together. I think it will be ok. I sure hope so! It's pretty much the biggest top of the plant. I don't know if the potassium silicate treatment is making the stalks too strong, but I only tried to tuck it into the next hole of the screen. Oh well, time will tell. Fed transistion week 1 nutes today.
Day 67: The branch survived! The plants are stretching nicely and I expect to run out of room on the screen at the outer edges.
Day 69: The canopy is so FULL! I'm amazed at how healthy they are and how many bud sites are filling up the screen!

Starting to really be thirsty. Soon as I started the nutrients they started drinking almost twice as much water.
Did some low stress training this week and probably continue tying back and levelling through the next two weeks.
Since it’s an empty tent right now really letting them stretch out ;p
