Well Ive done several grows, but I decided to make a journal this time around mainly because there is little to no information about these two strains on the site so here it is. for veg I will be using two 2 foot T5 fixtures using AN sensi grow and B-52 nutrients. for flowering I have a Homebox L tent, 600w hps with 273 cfm inline fan for cooling...they are about a day old right now ppm is at 300 for both and PH is at 5.8. First pic is the Sour Diesel and 2nd is the Headband

Well its been about 9 days since my last update and the girls are doing pretty good....been feeding them AN Sensi grow A&B along with the B-52 supplement and a little cal/mag...ppms are about 350, and I am keeping PH in the 5.7 range for both and they seem to be happy as of now....the Sour diesel is very vigorous as the Headband is too but she is growing a little slower....first pic is the Headband and 2nd is sour diesel...Can't wait til I begin flowering these ladies!

Well its been about 2 weeks since I started these and they are coming along very well and growing fast as hell...I added some roots excelurator last week and it seems to have really helped...I bumped the 818 Headband up to about 550 ppms and she took off this plant can really EAT! she's been happy with whatever ive given her and not one sign of nute burn.....also I bumped the sour diesel up to about 450 and she didnt like it so I'm keeping her at about 350 ppms I also topped and pruned the diesel because she was way taller than the headband from the stretch she put on as a seedling.

Its been 3 days and I decided to top the Headband also and the side branches really took off but I think I shoulda topped her at the same time as the sour diesel in order to let the side branches grow at the same rate because the sour diesel is towering over the headband lol I think I will just tie her down when I switch to flowering this weekend...Both of these plants have been a breeze to grow by the way especially the sour diesel she's so vigorous but she will burn if u bump ppms up too much

well its been 8 days since my last update and about 6-7 days since I switched to 12/12 and all I can say is the 818 eats like a fatass bitch and she is just now starting to smell lol im giving her 800ppm using AN sensi AB, big bud, b-52, bud candy, sensizym, cal-mag by botanicare and home and garden roots excelurator and she is loving it! I am keeping the Sour diesel at about 500 ppm right now using the same nutes as the 818 except for the cal/mag the sour diesel isnt a cal/mag whore like the 818 headband and she doesnt like to eat much either....PH range between 5.5-5.9. I also just took clones of both plants as this is my first time ever trying to clone so hopefully they will root lol....first pic is sour diesel on the left and headband on the right, 2nd pic is headband, and the other 3 plant pics are the sour diesel

There's probably a few more popping in and out just nobody posting yet, my sour D is up and out of the coco but growing very slow at the moment, my clones haven't rooted yet either as soon i got roots i'll fire up the 400w metal halide and see if we can get them moving i think the room may be to cold at the moment

Sour Diesel is getting outta hand this thing is getting huge I been keeping her at about 500PPM. Other pic is the Headband clone that I took a few weeks ago I pruned her so that the side branches will grow out I guess I will take clones from her and then flower her when I have space in the tent

Well I've changed out my hps bulb for the first time in 2 years lol and damn the plants just took off big time the sour diesel is one of the most stretchy plant ive ever seen she went haywire from being topped. I am not sure if the Headband is responding so well to being bushed out the buds forming seem like they are going to be smaller nuggets. I am going to let the clone I took grow normal without topping so I can see if there is any difference. i also ordered a bigger tent so I can have more space for these two and also so I can put the Headband clone into flowering. First pic is Headband 2nd is SD

Its been a while since I posted an update I had been without internet for a while but here is the Sour Diesel at about 48 days flowering....She has gotten so tall I've had to supercrop most of the branches due to height restrictions....I will post pics of the headband later on as she is doing really well and stinky she looks to be about a 9 week strain while I can tell this Sour Diesel is going to need about 75 days to finish. and By the way the sour diesel is just now starting to develop a slight diesel smell she smells almost identical to the 818 Headband

Man I'm thinking you have to go 12/12 from seed with this plant because the stretch is REDICULOUS!!! I've never seen a plant stretch this much this better be some of the best Diesel I've ever smoked because I'm never growing this monster again
