Sowahh grow diary

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.

Update at day 70, there is just the 3 SOWAHH and the Purple Kush still going all the other plants are drying or are dried already. The PK will be cut today I think.
The SOWAHH#1 is very close to harvest time she will be cut in 1 week max maybe a few days before. Her smells completely developed now and she's a stinker, in a good way, the first smell hitting your nose is fuel and being there is some more complex smells to identify but it's of funky and lemony/acid.I can't wait to finally have a smoke so maybe I'll take a little test bud today.This plant should ne the best yielder as she has many pretty heavy tops.

The SOWAHH#2 might go for one more week before being harvested, she has the biggest swollen calyxes of the 3 but her buds are not as big as her sister's buds, I thought she would finally explode to make flowers as fat as the other Sowahh but it never happened, I don't know if she was stunted because she was root bound for a while in veg period or it is her normal expression, I will know more with the clone I'll run in the coming flower cycle. She has a very appealing smell to me, she's a bit more acid than fuel but nothing sweet. She won't have the best yield on this run but maybe she will do better in the next one, I like a lot the shape of her flowers and her smells so I'd like to see her perform well on the yield side as well.
And the SOWAHH#3 still day 70, she is close to harvest time, it's the lowest buds who still need a bit of time, I have already pluck 2 bananas who started to develop in the tops, pretty normal at this period and after the light stress they got.She has a smell very similar to the #2 maybe a bit more skunk in the mix but I'd need a better nose to really feel the different nuances. The main difference compared to her sisters is the shape of her flowers and the size of the calyxes who are a bit smaller and also her leaves are narrower.She might be the first to be harvested in 3/4 days.
This is a few pics of the Purple Kush at day 70, she's coming from a freebee I've grown in my precedent run, not sure of the lineage but she's extremely colorful, her smell has nothing sweet mostly gassy. I have another clone in veg who will be in the next flowering cycle but I won't keep her further, not enough space to keep her. That's an easy plant to grow and she gives some strong buds to smoke with yield on the low side. It was fun to play with for a few runs.

how did that go? I’ve been wanting to make a connection with any kind of pollen to do some seeded buds to share around. Havn’t quite caught up on finances yet to purchase clearance to trade genetics
