Sour60 Grow Journal - Advice Promoted Here

qROCKSTARp · Jun 3, 2012

Hello everybody! I received a package of Mdanzig's Sour60 in the mail about a week ago and planted these guys on May 29th and it is currently June 4th. I have a picture from June 1st, so about 2 days into it. In this journal i hope to acquire some knowledge and experience from the community here at rollitup along with some precious buds of course. :bigjoint:

I will update this as often as i can and if you see anything wrong or just have something to say, I promote you to do such because i am a novice grower and need the help! I am using potting soil along with cow manure in regular red solo cups(will be transplanted to 2 liter). The lights include a daytime florescent bulb(running about 2200 lumens) along with a Grow-lux bulb in the same fixture. These run at a 18-6 ratio as of right now, but will be moved into a higher intensity(two 8 foot florescent bulbs running at 5300 lumens each) at 24 hours of constant light very soon. I know this isnt the best setup, but the amount i am able to invest in this grow is not very high. As you can see in the picture, i have 11 Sour60 seeds which have all sprouted. 1 Mazar Kush seed which has sprouted. And 1 Cheese seed which has also sprouted. I am looking forward to your advice and comments towards this grow and ill keep ya posted!

Good start keep us posted buddy.

I would advise next time you grow autos to pot them into their final pots, transplanting stresses them and reduces yield.

Lol... I think most of us have used solo cups before... Just work with what you got. Ive use flourescent bulbs with great results before. Im currently experimenting with these litro flourescents right now with my La Divas. Also, I know alot of people run 24/0 on autos with no problems, However, i suggest 20/4. Plants naturally do need a little rest and root growth is usually increased and promoted during dark periods (night). Just my preference... Either way works fine, just throwing in my 2 cents.

Oh yeah... I agree with Kush. Plant directly into your final pot next time as transplanting will stress plants out. Autos dont like the stress...

I read about that planting in the final pot, but it was after I already had them in the solo cups XD

I got them from the attitude seedbank. Kind of expensive and I'm not sure about the yield yet because they're relatively short plants. We'll see I guess

bubbakush1988 · Jun 7, 2012

i must of just missed them then i ordered from attitude as well. im sure they will blow up once they sex thats usually the deal with autos... they seem to take their sweet time until they show sex then the just go into a crazy growth spurt.

yea it does!!!

The Mazar Kush(Front Left) is growing taller than all the rest. The Cheese comes in second place(Back Left). And the sour60 have grown about 3-4 inches. About 8 out of 11 Sour60 are fully healthy. 1 of the Sour60 babies suffered at birth. But the rooting powder brought it back so she is trying to catch up with the rest. The other 2 are growing at a slower rate then the rest of the Sour60. Maybe due to not enough watering or the size of the cup. Here are a couple pictures of the grow and the setup I have. The second and the third pictures are both Sour60. Enjoy bongsmilie

As you see in these two plants, and there are many more that look like this, they seem to be withering. I though possible nitrogen deficient or UV poisoning. If there is any advice that could be added from the community, it would be greatly appreciated. Also on this post, I have a funny picture of 2 blunts and a pile haha. Happy Smoking :bigjoint:

Is that a pile of trim? lol

qROCKSTARp · Jun 27, 2012

yea hahaha. just a funny picture

About 3 days ago, Sour60 plants have been sexed. So according to the plant's details, 30 days would be the halfway point which is about the same day i noticed the sex showing. I had to remove 3 definite males from the room. There are two plants that seem to be struggling, but hanging in there. Those two plants are not showing sex yet. There are 5 definite females which isn't too bad i guess. The Mazar Kush and the Greenhouse Cheese dont seem to be doing too bad. The only noticeable difference between the Kush and the Cheese, is that the Kush is taller. All of the plants will need to be transferred into bigger pots soon. If there is any applicable advice regarding anything please feel free to share. I would like to know why those 2 Sour60 plants are very short and weak compared to the other 5 healthy females. And also, i was wondering if it would be too late to clone the Sour60s.

Thanks and
Happy Smoking :bigjoint:

Not much change from the last post besides some growth in length and width. I just thought i would keep the community updated with a couple pictures. There is also a picture of a double blunt being compared to a MTN Dew bottle

I have weeded out the males. Unfortunately i have 6 females left. I had to weed out 5 males. They have been transferred into 2.5 gallon buckets and they still look pretty healthy. Running on 18 hours of light. Just a quick update. Nothing really to say here.

Quick Update with some pictures. The trics are starting to show very nicely along with some nice color. These babys are very close to harvesting
