3rd organic grow: Soma A+, Sage'n'Sour, Ice

[sandmonkey]

Hey all, just started the 12/12 regimen on my girls a few days ago.

I let these clones veg for 2.5 weeks under 18/6. I'm using the entire BioBizz line, plus AN Piranha and Tarantula. I'm still using both plus Root Juice and have seen amazing growth compared to past grows.

Here's the canopy (7 plants)

One of the Soma's. Very indica. Thick and sturdy stem, short internode space, and very bushy:

One of the Sage'n'Sours with more Sativa traits.

Two of the Ice queens. Way smaller than the other strains:

Please do stop by my journal if you like what you see

DAY 16 of 12/12:

Unfortunately I had to kill the smallest plant (one of the Ice) cuz of a spider mite infestation; as well as the fact that it was too short to get any decent light exposure.

So i'm down to 6 now. Normally I'd be worried but given the size of these girls six is all I can keep in the room right now; as next week I'll be adding a CO2BOOST pump to my room.


Here's the canopy:

And one of the Sage'n'Sours:

I was seriously considering trying out sage n sour...and I think these pics pushed me over the edge! looks great!

 

[sandmonkey]

You'll love it. Smells nothing like it's Diesel parent at the moment, and grows very branchy.

What i love is that all the branches shoot almost straight upwards. They definitely take in more nutrients than other strains.

 

[Guitarman840]

I can't wait! I'm tempted to murder my existing crop and start all over with sage n sour!! (just kidding, lol)...keep us posted, I want to know how your harvest goes!! ^^

Girls just completed day 24 of 12/12.

Spotted some spider mite on one of the Soma's so I sprayed all my girls with neem oil.

Otherwise they're pretty healthy.


Here's a side by side of a Soma (left) and Sage'n'Sour:

[GFOYLE]

are you using the light or all mix? and when do you start feeding?

 

[sandmonkey]

I'm using the light mix. I still give 'em Root Juice, Piranha and Tarantula from the first day (rooted clones).

Otherwise i wait until they start to turn slightly pale to give 'em veg nutes. For this grow I think I've only fed them Veg nutes twice before switching to 12/12.

today my girls just completed day 30 of 12/12

two of my plants' tops got a little burnt by the HPS but nothing too serious. I've raised the lights a bit and temps are definitely down.

Unfortunately my camera's battery just died so I couldn't take nicer pics of the plants out of the Homebox as I usually do.

But these will have to do. 1st off the family shot (note the scrawny Ice is no where to be seen in the pic. What a useless plant definitely better for a SOG):

One of the Soma:

S'n'S:

The Soma's are definitely further along. Then again they should be as they are pure skunks. I', guessing harvest for those will be in about 4 weeks. Which is perfect is I'm smoking my last Sour Diesel joint from my last harvest

[Mountainfarmer]

spider mites and the likes

huh ??? what does that mean?

 

[I dont know]

Sandmonkey very nice looking plants.... How are you liking the BioBizz line?

 

[sandmonkey]

spider mites and the likes

Oh LOL got it. No worries though two applications of neem oil, plus getting rid of the plants that brought them (Ice) solved the problem.
