I haven't read you thread in a while, so I'm catching up on reading and commenting so sorry for posts about shit from way back.

I'm doing some LST on my OG#18 with strings and duct tape, and I just keep having a problem with the duct tape sticking to the pot for longer than about 12 hours before they come loose. I have to constantly keep checking on them and fixing it, but I'm in my grow room all the time anyway. Lol! But I seen what you was talking about with using zip ties and it being easier than using string. I think I saw a thread on this on here, but it looked kind of complicated to me at the time. Maybe I just wasn't understanding that persons interpretation on how to do it. I can't remember for sure, but I am interested in trying that on my next grow.

By the way your plants are looking great. I didn't realize that the Sour Kush was a 10 week strain. 10 weeks seems so long until that 10 weeks is finished, you know? On a side note I smoked some bud that was supposed to be some Headband, and I didn't care for it. It was some some really good weed, but it didn't have a very good taste. It choked me up, and I was blazed from a very small amount that my friend blazed with me. But I have no clue what breeder it was from and if it really was even Headband. That's the shit I have to deal with in a non MMJ state. That's why I love growing my own. I know exactly what I am smoking.

That is quite a bit of stretch. 4-4.5x is like damn. You have to start 12/12 on that as soon as it pops out the soil. LOl! And OMG you had to cut them in half. Lol! You are cracking me up, but I learned a lesson during my current grow too. My Ak-47 stretched like crazy while my OG#18 and BF Blue Cheese hardly stretched at all. That makes it hard to keep an even canopy, and I'm growing in a small closet. It's essential with my 400w HID to have an even canopy if I want to maximaze my yield. Next time I will ask around and read the breeders info a bit better before I start my grow. I don't know how I didn't notice that the AK-47 was a sativa that was said to get tall by the breeder. Damn what a burnout mistake! Lol! Like you both said "you live and you learn".

:lol: yeah trust me dude, I laugh at myself too with that grow. What a joke, glad I'm onto serious business now :lol:. As far as one growing taller than the other, :lol: I had that problem with my headbands, one was just 5 inches taller than the other. I picked up 2 nice patio bricks to put under the midget and you couldn't tell they were un even :lol:.

That's exactly what I did during my current grow, but my Ak-47 is about 18" taller. I put some plastic drawer thingy underneath the OG#18 to help even out the canopy with the Ak-47. I don't have anything else to add to it laying around to get it completely even, but it's only about 6" off from being even. It's close enough to where it shouldn't be much of a problem. Plus, I have 4 26w CFL's above the Ak-47 because it is only halfway underneath my 400w, and I thought it needed some suplemental light. Plus the footprint from my cool tube doesn't give me light to the left side of the closet very well where the Ak-47 is. I have 3 2700k CFL's and 1 6500k CFL, and the Ak-47 leaves are stretching towards those CFL's more so than the 400w HPS. Even the part of the Ak-47 that is under the 400w HPS is stretching towards the CFL's. I find that weird. I am using a brand new HPS bulb too. Although it is a cheap one, but I have had great results with the cheap bulbs in the past.

Yeah the wee bit of fox tailing is becoming apparent, but that shouldn't really affect density in the lower parts. You should have some awesome looking weed in 2 weeks, the Sour Kush fills out fast and steady.

Winter is coming up for us in the northern hemisphere :). Should be smooth sailing for a good 6-7 months after this chop man! Summers are the worst.

I see I had no issues with my last grow until hermie issue, but man this summer has been unusually hot here for some reason.

I think that it's been like that everywhere but here, it's just as hot as usual :lol:.

Though it's cooling down, the high of today is only 108 with a low of 84 (no joke).

Not sure about your lack of a smell. Mine just smelled like diesel all the way through the drying process. Maybe my plants had produced more oils though ? Oh well.

Like you said, your dialing it in. Next grow will be better, and the grow after that will be even better too! You did/are doing an excellent job for a 1st solid grow. Most peoples first grows like you said absolutely hermie, or get absolutely destroyed and chopped a month early with all white hairs. So be proud dude. Very proud you have some sensi you can jar up and smoke up and get medicated with !!

I actually had 2 pheno types with my SK. One was really short, and one was decent sized. I must say the one that was a decent sized smelled much nicer, sweeter, more of a representation of the Kush I think. The one up front, the short one, smelled more like run of the mill diesel. Mixed together they smelled great, but definitly the Kush pheno smelled the best!

That is also something you will realize, every seed and plant is different, unless you get clones and clone :). I would love to clone, but I don't have the space. So I just run 2 seeds at once.
