Anytime my friend

I think I flowered my sour kush around 7 or 8 inches, trained, and it grew to about 2-2.8ft or so?
Awesome that your rocking the 400w. I did like 5 runs with a 250w and finally just upgraded to the 400w, it's a little easier to get good light out of it, and as equally easy as a 250w to maximize your light. So far I'm loving it so congrats on yours

The smoke from the sour kush was phenominal, totally in my top 5, if not my top 3 or #1. Seriously. I'm actually vaping a bag of it now. 10 weeks cured.
The smell starts out like jungle diesel and stays that way til around day 50ish when I feel like the smell totally changes and it starts pumping out some really sweet smelling resin.. By the time it's finished, it smells like sweet sugary sweet kush, with some very plesant diesel overtones that definitely will stay in your mouth long after your done tasting it. Overall the smell is something you don't get quite used to, as in the taste/flavor doesn't get boring to me like other strains. And the high - oh the high... It's a very strong one, I notice it's like 30% stronger and lasts about 30-40% longer than some of the other strains I'm used to. Just keeps on going.. It's a very sedetative high, yet very stimulating to your mind. You get that sativa head high from the diesel - creative, interesting insightful thoughts. But your appeteit is still stimulated, your body no longer aches, it feels
nice, but your
not couch locked unless you *want to be* like after a long day at work.
I could literally grow the sour kush over and over again. I will be trying out some other strains, but I
might realisticly look at running the reserva privada sour kush like 1/3 times of all my grows just so I can keep some on hand. That good brother!
Looking good. Screen height looks lots better! Now what you need to do is tuck in all the fan leaves. They call it a screen of GREEN because
underneath the screen should be LOTS of leaves that will absorb all the light, and above the screen are where the fat ass colas grow from that thick thick green sea photosynthesis powerhouse... Get it?
Literally do this - Look at your plant stalks ABOVE the screen. Are there fan leaves visible ABOVE the screen? Is it low enough to push under the screen? If YES then PUSH the fan leaf under the screen. After about 10-15 minutes of tucking, you should be able to sit back and ask your self the
same question again: "Are there
any fan leaves above the screen? Am I able to force the leaf under the screen?"
After a few weeks, your stalks will grow long enough, and high enough above the screen that you can't tuck the fan leaves. Don't worry about the fan leaves high above the screen on the colas, the light will go around or scatter off other surfaces to reach that bud.
Tucking the fan leaves lets the light hit the top of developing tops, or just lets a stalk get more light on it which also helps it's development. Flower tops LOVE direct light, the fan leaves don't really care, the can be upside down under the screen with only light on 10% of the leaf will still grow in all parts. This is not true of the flower tops though, the flowers grow fatter, more equally, and more dense with the most direct light.
