Today is the end of day 56. The ph is still too high after watering reactivates the calcium carbonate after each watering brings it up over 7 and slowly drops into the high 6.8-6.9 once they are semi dry, so I think they are all struggling to pull potassium out of the soil. I think from the looks of them 2-3 weeks left. As I look back at the journal I believe I underfed just slightly and have had ph issues start half way through flowering so lots of room for improvement with all of them on the next run. The soil is cooking now and having a nice fresh batch of soil should make a difference right off start.
Im leaving later today for 10 days for work so I have a friend that will water for me while I’m gone. I don’t see any of these plants needing to go 80 days but I’ll know more when I get back.

Looks phenomenal regardless bro! I bet it smells unreal in there, that lip smacking sour stank ! Nothing like it imo it just lingers and seems to be burned in my brain and almost induced drool every single time I get a whiff of the REAL SOUR

Thanks dude, smells are definitely intensifying in there. I thought I picked up a random sour smell last time I opened the tent but again my nose isn’t to be trusted for these things. The swell is definitely is definitely underway. Wondering when most like to take theirs down with mostly cloudy tricomes or should I be looking for a good pile of amber in there too? Not sure I’ll probably post that question over in the SD thread see what opinions are out there. Can’t wait to cut them down and get the tent reloaded with them all again.

Day 66 flowering. Smells are strong but hard to put any of it to words to describe accurately. Think I’m still looking at 10-14 days for them to finish up. I took the seeded branches down this morning looked full and be some sample nugs ahead of the rest.

Solid grow brotha!
Hope you get your smell back for the smoke report. Savor the flavor!
Curious what you seeded into them or did you use sts on a couple branches?

I used a male from the pack of bx3 to pollinate the branches. It was a lightly variegated plant that out grew all his brothers. I’ll post a pic of him. He was not cared for to the extend the females were just left in a corner until I took a cutting off him to fire in there. I’m not a breeder so no real amount of selection was put into it other than loving the structure he has and grow rates were off the chart. He smelled pretty heavy of some type of funk when I flowered him for pollen so hoping he was a good choice.
the bushy plant is the original male from seed the other pic is an untouched cutting from him.

Harvesting as soon as I’m done work today. I smoked a piece of one of the pollenated branches and was totally blasted off it last night. Much stronger than I thought it would be. Definitely won’t be smoking on that before work.was not a sleepy high but I was too stoned to really do much of anything other than chill, so I can imagine smoking one those top colas will be day ending for me. I’m heavy smoker and smoke all day everyday so I’m surprised I got so high off just a joint off a lower that had seeds lol. I’ll post some trimmed pics later after the cure.
Far from a perfect grow, but I’m happy for a first try with SD. I was after effects not terps and after smoking the sample, I got all i was hoping for and then some. Appreciate all those that gave my journal a follow from the start and joined in along the way. I’ll update this again after the dry and cure with a smoke report, and that reminds me to go do a smoke report on my last journal I havent done yet.
