I'm gonna go ahead and make the assessment that the increased blue light has increased terpene production compared to straight HPS and my last experiment (2HPS, 1MHC) grow. At 41 days the smells are stronger than the 818 room I just harvested, the 818 makes my eyes water when trimming, but this Sour grow is making my eyes water as soon as I open the tent. However I am once again thinking that yield is going to be lower than the last two grows, but if quality is higher I can accept that.
I have also made the decision that this will be my last Sour Grow. I recently was gifted the GG#4 cut, and that will be my 2nd strain to play with, until I decide to pheno hunt with the cali connection seeds I ordered. My 818 pheno is just a bigger producer and more potent, which is why it has been the main stock of my garden for over a year, and will continue to be until I get something that can exceed it. This will kind of fuck up the NFTG experiment for the journal after this, but I hate working with more than two genetics at one time.
I will be starting an 818 journal in the next two weeks, the clones took a little longer to root than usual so it pushed me back a bit, and I also fucked up and didn't top them as soon as I usually do they are not bushing as fast as usual, causing my usual 4 week veg to to probably go closer to 6
I'll post week 6 pics tomorrow!
