Thanks!
They’ll get some nutrients Saturday + so they will love that.
Just Gave them a sip of water today to hold them off . Been really cautious , however I don’t think I have over dosed them before.
It’s crazy to think how they were all pretty much dead 7-8 weeks ago!!! Yellow leaves, clawed.
I had the birthday cake (far left ! What a smell) put out to pasture on the back deck , and the sun brought it back to life , stronger than ever.
I have pretty much set/forget them. Been working a lot . Still getting photos but only checking every 3/4 days . . .
Edit * with any luck, I will have enough Sour Jack flower for then foreseeable future!

I don’t know what I’m gonna do with these until flower tent is ready!!!
Really hoping to get this L.A. Confidential and Blue monster flowering
I have some learning to do on the staggering of cycles ha ha!!
Can I continuously top them and prune them ?
Going to find a way to shut down theyre growth (doing a pretty good job at that anyway lol)

I often run into traffic jams when staggering grows too.
Theres no problem with topping or pruning multiple times.
Just be sure to allow enough time for the plant to recover after topping before flowering.

Birthday cake is showing orange hairs!
Incredibly sweet aroma.
The sour Jacks Haven very long white hairstyle, and have a light putrid vomit smell LOL
They get they’re super juice tomorrow (nutes)…it’s been mixed since week 1… I may mix up another batch but I will look at the week 4 flower nutrient schedule.
I don’t think there is much change. . . Don’t want to waste whats in the reservoir though. Could defintily get away with using it, but I think this will be a crucial feed so not sure if I want to skimp. Also don’t want to over do it.
Week1-4 has the same nutrients , so I’ll use what i Have + it’s been bubbling for a While (2 weeks)

Hey GF.
WONDERING if any adjustments werre needed.
Some more penetration lol.
I guess I cann do a little defol .
Just want to maximize my yield!
Thought with LED i could go a bit closer.
I’ll measure the exact distance an go from there.
I love my light but just not sure if it’s as strong as I want. Will see by my bud production.
I got some fairly nice buds my first grow with just one of my pan led lights and 2 blurples.
I honestly can’t see how they could have been much bigger lol. without More. expericne,

Its all looking good man.
I havent made the switch to led yet, so maybe someone with more specific experience will chime in.
If you want to lower the light, go for it, just keep an eye out for signs of heat stress, bleaching etc.
For me its all about trial and error and taking note of what works, when it works out.

Thanks !
I doubt they are heat stressed at the moment lol!
I was told by many before this grow that bigger lights mean bigger buds Lol… Maybe So. However lots of variables in between !
Going to hope for the best and I’m already content with the production .
I grew a different batch last time + I had much less flowering sites compared to this time. I also pruned everything below the main colas last time to try and put energy into those tops.
This time I left alot more sites . Which seems to be working out pretty well… . I know the last time I had chem91 going and It has dozens of little tops .which I ended up having pretty much equal to the other plant with 7 main colas .
So ! I know the benefits of.smaller buds…let’s hope it all works out ! Im feeling pretty positive.just trying to let the days goby! I should be harvesting on HALLOWEEN!!!
CHEERS

Defolization, training, optimizing your nutes lights.
Grow mediums alot of influence there.
Watering, bigger containers, air flow
Genetics that your running
This all comes into play

Hello!
Day 29 I think?
I skipped My day 21 defoliation and did it today’.
(Are you not supposed to cut any leafs after 21 Dayin flower ? I’ve done it, just hearing different)
More photos * much more air flow , * added a fan *
and a video of the tent after defoliation
I hate my voice lol anyhow! Thanks everyone for everything.
I can s see a lot of resemblance in these sourjacks to the chem91 I grew My first grow. The two must share some lineage, lots of small tops ,lots and lots . Hopefully the small tops get BIG lol

Look good to me, man👍🏻. I’ve been following along, but haven’t been commenting much. You look like you’re on the right track to me. To your defol question—I’m not too big on defol. I actually did more this grow than ever before, but that was motivated by humidity issues. Plenty of folks on here that strip the hell out of branches. Maybe ask one of those guys/gals.
You’re right about Chemdawg and SourJack. Chemdawg is the backbone of Sour Diesel so no surprise that you’re seeing likenesses. Looking forward to seeing how that Sour Jack turns out.

Just struck me, the only reason I went to the tent today was to measure the distance of lights from canopy and carry out another fan
hahaha - ended up sanitizing some snips with some alcohol spray and just started snipping. Once I did one of the girls I just kept going! I am glad I did now . I also clipped off a number of smaller lower branches that had bud sites but I couldn’t imagine them beefing up to anything significant.
It was pretty easy with these, i was able To just pull a branch towards me while kneeling down and shipped away, rotating the plant , grabbing a branch as I went and moving onto the next plant.
Hands were fairly sticky - a good sign 
Almost half way through!
Oh - and i forgot to measure the lights distance hahahaha

Everything is cool man.
I do a couple major defoliations during veg and a few weeks into flower. After that I take leaves here and there throughout the rest of the Grow.
The most important one is the major defoliation a few weeks into flower when you begin to see what’s going to do what.
