I'm thinking at least a couple more weeks using hid lighting growth seems slower than my led but I'm liking the single plant 3x3 room concept I'm seriously thinking this would really shine with a $300.00 315 cmh & give me the best return for dollar spent on setting up but for now my 250-400 switchable setup is working my led grow came off with less than spectacular results (6 oz.) so I'm seeing if I can't remedy some of my shortcomings before I dump any more money into my grows I believe I've made bad strain choices this grow should prove me right then I can move forward the headband grow (single plant) gave me 7-1/4 oz under the led so I actually took a step backwards my overhead is low so I didn't go in the hole I just feel there is better results to be had

I'm sure you got it this time 'round I've got a good feeling about that sour d she's on roids
And those are still some impressive yields very nice!
I'm not sure if there yet.

I've had to leave the house 2 days running to handle a couple of appointments & ive got one more tomorrow I went out to check everything tonight & the sour'd is growing had to tuck a couple of limbs under I've got a feeling as soon as I up the nutes & switch to 400w. she just might get aggressive on me this weekend I'm gonna get the led room going again as well gonna add some silica soon

I'm going to clone right before the flip like you said it's hard to beat sour'd it's just a well rounded strain here is today's pics

today is day #10 since I put her in the room & I've upped the nutes to 740 ppm including additive & cal mag I've been using gh 3 part but I have floranova laying around which is a good nutrient but it's gritty & accumulates in the drip rings of the factory waterfarms but it's fine in the homemade one & the big swell is just something else laying around I'm using it because of the bamboo root extract silica & kelp extract it was given to me so it needs used up I drain into a small bucket & pour the fresh nutrients in with a flower pot waterer that has a piece of hose on the spout

she likes her training mon. or tues. I'm gonna take cuttings & ive got to think about flipping in the upcoming week or so this is a 10-12 wk. flower time so I imagine she is gonna stretch my little setup is working I'm pretty happy with my results

she continues to fill in my screen & this strain although old & ive grown sour'd before but not in this setting if the final product is good she could be around for awhile

Damn so grows fast ! Looks good.
Leaves have a healthy shade. Pay attention to the colors of the leaves and the nitrogen levels. You keep improving every run good job man.

I clone very simple in rockwool cubes & use Shultz powder & a dome of some sort I'm gonna clone soon & if you're interested I'll post a step by step I have a heat mat & all that stuff but fore small amounts I do it kinda ghetto but my success rate is pretty good

she is growing so fast I've gotta clone in the next few days so I'll post pics of the whole process which isn't gonna consist of much as it's pretty simple

I'm going to clone this evening when it cools off outside this is one of the easiest to grow strains I've had in a long time it's not picky about the nutes & I'm having to top-off with about 1/2 gal. daily this is a 10-12 wk. strain so I'm expecting a lot of growth after the flip so far this strain isn't disappointing still running the 250w.bulb & setting vegging both rooms on a total of 420w.

the toothpick is to make a hole that snugly fits the stem then I get a plastic spoon with some rooting powder ( or gel if that's what you're using) I have the shot glass with water in it to dip the stem in to wet it prior to dipping the stem in the powder
