As you can see they are all forming big buds, the biggest will be the #1(the2nd picture plant alone) she has 18 branches who were heavily trimmed under the canopy so she's forming many big tops with pretty big calyxes. She should make the biggest harvest.
The #2 is in the corner she's the tallest of the 3 Sowahh, her flowers are not as big as her sisters but she'll be ready later so she might get as big in the last days. She's the one with the biggest calyxes and the more resin as well.
The #3 has the smallest calyxes but very dense flowers who are very big, she's in a smaller container and has less branches than her sisters;
I wanted to try different way of growing to see which one is the most effective;
I think the #1 and #3 should be ready around day 70/75 and the #2 around day 75/80.
I had to cut the apex of the BCP because one had some botitrys so I lost around 1/2g(not a lot but the main bud is destroyed) and I cut the other to avoid any loss. The apex weighted 58g wet, it would have been a shame to cut it in pieces because of mold like the other who was only a few grams smaller;

I had a hard time to figure how to feed the Sowahh, for a while I thought they were hungry but in fact they were blasted with too much light so I accidentally overfed them. I have lowered the power of the LED to 75% and gave only water the last 2 waterings.
The smells and resin coverage got more intense those last days, the flowers are pretty dense already and they still have some time to go.
For the next run with the clones of each Sowahh I'll add some bat-guano to the soil and get a P/K to be able to feed them more accurately without adding N at each waterings; I know the Aptus line allow to dose each elements as you want as they all are in different bottles but I don't know if it's a good food source for the plants.
Those who have grown some Sowahh or Sour Diesel what type of plant food did you use?

100W of LED is a lot for clones, way too much, even 50-60cm away.
For clones I have used 9.5W, a lamp like this, about as far away.
As I've already used more watts with MH/HPS light at the same stage I didn't expect to fry the rooted clones with 100w of LED. By chance only 1 out of 10 clones was lost, all the other are growing steadily. I should order the dimmable version with 150w max even if I don't push it to 100% at least I'll be able to lower the wattage to avoid any light stress in the future.
But it's still possible to root and grow clones with this 100w LED from Mars Hydro, it will be easier with the dimmable one.

A little update for each SOWAHH at day 66, here are some pics from the #1, the biggest of the 3. Her smells are getting extremely strong as she gets closer to maturity, straight lemon diesel funk. She seems to be able to grow bigger buds than her sisters. To me she looks a lot like a CHEM91, she has the same type of flowers; She also has the the more broad leaves of the 3 SOWAHH. She suffered of too much light and too much N and maybe Cal/Mag because I thought she was hungry when in fact she was bleached by too intense light.
edit: I don't understand why the pics have a different coloring when they have been taken at the same time with the same light, a mainly blue LED so I don't get where the yellow comes from on some pics, very strange.

This is the SOWAHH#2 at day 66 as well, she had the bigger stretch of the 3 and started to bud later also, she has the smaller diameter of buds of the 3. I like a lot the look of her flowers and she has a very powerful smell even stronger than her sisters and I think she has a better resin coverage as well, she might be the one making the flowers of the best quality, I have to wait a few weeks before knowing that.
And finally the SOWAHH#3, she had a very strong stretch as well but started to make buds earlier than #2. She has the smaller calyxes who form some very dense flowers who can huge in diameter at some point, she can make some impressive colas. I think it's a very good plant to grow in SOG, she could make some huge yield if you grow 16 clones in 1M2 each doing 30/40g you can get 500/600g by square meter. She has the narrower leaves of the 3 girls. Her smell is as her sisters a blend of lemon/diesel maybe a bit sharper lemon than the other a bit more acid but I have to smoke test here before knowing.
I think all those plants will be ready for harvest in 7/10 days so around day 73/76, giving them 11/13 of light helped to keep the flowering time under 80 days and it slow a bit the stretch also. I don't know yet if I'll run the clones on 12/12 or not. I have to be careful about light bleach on the next run and trying another method to feed them to separate the different elements. The easier way to do that is using APTUS line but it's really expensive plant food and only mineral I think, they don't have an organic line. If some growers here have some experience with APTUS please give some feedback.

Thanks, this Sour D version not the easiest to please, I hope to do a better job at keeping them healthy on the future runs.Good job, you're bleeding it there
I have stored the seeds from the clones I pollinated, the Rocky Melon bagged and the Banana Bubble Gum, those 2 plants were much faster to flower than the other, they were harvested around day 55.
I have around 40 seeds of RM x Sowahh, I hope I'll find some females with the same quick flowering and strong smells from the mom with a better yield thanks to the Sowahh blood added. I'm very excited about this home made cross, given the quality of the parents they should deliver some great plants.
The BBG had much more dense flowers so the pollination was not as effective; I have only 20 seeds of this cross. The mother was extremely indica with a very fast flower cycle and very sweet, fruity smells, I hope the progeny will keep some of those traits with a Sour twist. Those seeds should provide some interesting females.
The last plant I pollinated is the SOWAHH#3, I checked the bud wearing the seeds and they start to open their pods, I will use of the males coming from those seeds to pollinate the other SOWAHH I have.
