Day 15: Plants looking healthy as can be! I didn't make a rack for the lights but I got em in. Looks jankie, but I think its gonna work. 🙏 Day 16: Trying to work out kinks in my grow. Since I put the other 2 lights in, I'm now battling the heat and humidity. Switch the fans around. Got the cold air coming in down low. Will feed them in the morning. Day 17: The girls were showing signs of being thirsty this morning for sure! They received their first drain to waste watering. They will be getting some additional nutes on the next feeding (AN B-52, AN Sensizyme, AN CalMag Extra). Day 18: Looking amazing today! I tried my hand at a little LST. Wish the girls luck.!! 🙏 Tomorrow is the official 2 week mark from breaking ground. So, not sure. I've got the humidity finally dialed in at around 50-55% and the temp around 78°. Also gave them another drink as they were already dry about 1.5" down?? Day 19: This is the official 2 week mark. I think I stressed the girls pretty good yesterday, but they look to be recovered today. Should start seeing good growth in the day to follow. Will just be tucking a leaf here and there for a bit. I will being doing a straight water feed next with Great White. Day 20: Nothing new to report other than found 2 leaves that had some yellow mottling. I added Sensizyme, Recharge, and Great White to this feeding. Did not do drain to waste. Just watered the outside perimeter. PPM was 260 at 5.8 ph. Day 21: NO MORE NUTES for these girls! Tips on a couple of em are turning yellow!!! Stupid me. Over watering and giving too many nutes.

I am 2 days into flushing , the buds look nice and frosty and are smelling good , I will flush for 9 days before trimming. The pictures are not the best in the world and don't quite do them justice . I will get some pics posted during lights out . This has been the longest grow I have ever done , I really hope she's worth it ! I've taken these girls as far as I can go , by looking at the pictures when lights are of I can clearly see they are finished . They are turning purple but that's because of the cold climate here and that temps are dropping to 9c once lights are off .

Moin, Wir befinden uns mittlerweile am Blütetag 12 und der Stretch ist voll im Gange. Von der Wachstumsstruktur würde ich die White Sweet Candy OG wie eine klassische OG beschreiben starke, dicke Haupttrieb, mittelgroße Internodienabstände (finde ich persönlich sehr angenehm), starke Seitentriebe und generell eine sehr buschigen Pflanze. Durch die starken Haupttrieb eignet sich die Sorte für mich nicht um die Triebe mit Budclips auf eine Höhe zu bringen, dafür ist dann eher das Herunterbinden der Triebe geeignet. Setzt man etwas früher als in meinem Fall ein Scrognetz ein erreicht man ein wirklich schönes und homogenes Blätterdach der Triebe. Auffällig ist, dass die ersten Pistils sich erst ab den 10 Blütetag zeigten und der Übergang von der vegetativen Phase ins Blütenwachstum etwas verzögerter abläuft. Aus meiner Erfahrung spielt das keine große Rolle bei der späteres Blütenentwicklung. Schon jetzt zeigt sich, dass die 4 Haupttriebe massive Buds produzieren werden. Ich freu mich auf die kommenden Wochen und vorallem auf die ersten Trichome und der damit beginnende Geruch, ich bin mehr als gespannt und bis jetzt ist dieser Strain im Wachstum und der Performance allgemein einer meiner Favoriten der letzten Jahre! Respekt an SSSC für die Tolle Arbeit. :) Hey, We’re now on day 12 of flowering, and the stretch is in full swing. In terms of growth structure, I’d describe the White Sweet Candy OG as a classic OG with a strong, thick main stem, medium internode spacing (which I personally find very pleasant), strong side shoots, and overall a very bushy plant. Because of the strong main stem, I don’t think this strain is suitable for using bud clips to keep the shoots at the same height, tying the shoots down is a better option. If you set up a SCROG net a little earlier than I did, you’ll achieve a really nice, uniform canopy. It’s noticeable that the first pistils didn’t appear until the 10th day of flowering, and the transition from the vegetative phase to flowering is somewhat delayed. In my experience, this doesn’t play a major role in later flower development. It’s already clear that the 4 main shoots will produce massive buds. I’m looking forward to the coming weeks and especially to the first trichomes and the scent that comes with them I’m more than excited, and so far, this strain is one of my favorites of recent years in terms of growth and overall performance! Kudos to SSSC for the great work. :)

Well, I've been comparing this with similar strains, untill now, i think she sugar kush is less profitable when using LST, but it works good, and the plant is nice and low

Forgot to upload earlier but overall a successful grow, had to pull the plug a bit quicker since borealis mold had started to appear slightly. Nonetheless saved almost all of the crop and opted to dry trim to preserve the quality/terpenes

Did a medium stress training on 10/15 last few days of week 5 lowering main cola from 17” to 8”. Also dropped mid colas to 8” leveling canopy. 10/17 made some further adjustments as tops and fans flipped upright. Last adjustment 10/18 removed a handful of fans to open all bud sites. Noticing a bit of yellowing watered with 700 tds dr earth bloom. runoff at 6.5 ph down to 1100 tds from last measure of 1400+. 10/18 Added another dose of dr bloom runoff moved to 1240 tds 6.5 ph. Painting Happy trees hopefully. 🙂 10/19 pm let run off settle. tested at 1350 tds 6.82 ph 10/24 finished off the week looking good. nute deficiency in check.

We have Monday today and we starting week 4, girls are after trimming and low stress training… everything going well

end of week 1 flower | plant looking really green | changed from using blumats to the good old drip ring in the closed loop config | hope i now got better controll over the humidity in soil | plant grew very nicely to be spread under the net | installed the scrog end of week 1 | now 2 weeks of holiday | hope for the best

Day 35: Well guys as we go into the start of Week 5 I went ahead on the last watering and gave her FF Sledgehammer to go ahead and rinse out all the unwanted residues left over from grow nutes because will be switching over to bloom.. We are in the first week of flower and by all means this lovely lady is turning out can't wait to see the end result. 12/20 Day 37 and not much to update other than this lady is moving along nicely another smooth week 👊

Veg15, han crecido como 2 centímetros desde el transplante, aún no necesitan riego, desde ahora regaré cada 3~4 días, cuando el sustrato este un 80~90% seco, han estirado un poco desde que subí la distancia del LED y bajé su intensidad, mañana haré Main Lining. Veg16, hoy se torturaron las plantas con Main Lining, se cortó arriba del segundo nodo y se cortaron también las hojas de un dedo bajo el primer nodo, las plantas que tenían suficiente crecimiento de les hizo LST también, cuando se apague la luz se efectuará un spray foliar con B-52, y mañana un nuevo riego. Veg17, riego con 5.5 pH y EC 1.8~1.9, se regaron con 1.5 litros y no se obtuvo drenaje, próximo riego tendrá que ser con más cantidad de agua para obtener drenaje, el agua se calentó a 23 grados y se oxigenó antes de regar, mañana se ajustará el LST ya que siguen creciendo muy bien. Veg18, hoy solo se ajusto el LST, siguen creciendo bien. Veg19, ajuste de LST, nada más que anotar. Veg20, siguen creciendo, talvez hay que ajustar la cantidad de luz DLI. Veg21, tuve que poner una estufa para aumentar la temperatura en el indoor y bajar la intensidad del LED a un 50% para alcanzar un DLI óptimo. Hoy haré ajuste de LST y revisar la humedad del sustrato.

Slightly Light amber, but I'm cutting her. She really looks ripe. Also an infestation of sap eaters, so the plant is at it's end. The plant with long stem is not even 48 grams, very disappointing! Very thin flowers. Maybe if I'm lucky, I will have 10 gr 😞😞😞

She's doing nicely so far pleased with this pheno the structure is good , sadly she is only getting twelve hours due to photoperiods taking up space

Die Lemon Skunk steht nun in Blütewoche 7 und präsentiert sich von ihrer besten Seite. Die Buds sind massiv, fest und vollständig mit Trichomen überzogen. Das Harz glänzt unter dem Licht, und das Aroma ist intensiv zitronig mit einer erdigen Basis – typisch für die Genetik. Die Trichome zeigen ein perfektes Reifestadium: etwa 70 % milchig, erste bernsteinfarbene Spitzen. Damit beginnt langsam die finale Reifephase, in der Aroma und Wirkstoffgehalt ihren Höhepunkt erreichen. Das Semi-Hydro-System läuft stabil weiter. Die Pumpe hält die Nährlösung aktiv, was für konstante Sauerstoffversorgung sorgt. Die Pflanzen reagieren vital, und die Wurzeln arbeiten sichtbar effizient. Die Düngung liegt aktuell bei 8 ml/l Canna Coco A + B, was optimal aufgenommen wird. Kein Überdüngungszeichen, keine Mängel – die Blätter beginnen langsam, die gespeicherten Nährstoffe zu mobilisieren, was ein gutes Zeichen für den kommenden Spülvorgang ist. Die Struktur bleibt offen, die Luftzirkulation ist stark, und die Buds profitieren von optimalem Licht. Das Verhältnis zwischen Haupt- und Seitentrieben ist ausgeglichen, was zu einer gleichmäßigen Blütenentwicklung über die gesamte Pflanze führt. Insgesamt zeigt sich die Lemon Skunk in absoluter Bestform: kompakte Buds, starker Duft, hohe Harzproduktion und stabile Semi-Hydro-Performance. Die letzten Wochen versprechen dichte, aromatische Blüten – ein klarer Hinweis, dass die Ernte langsam näher rückt.

We are officially in full bloom. The have been enjoying 6-7 hours of sun light per day for about 4 days now, then brought back in under the cobs. The girls are all exploding with growth and stacking what I expect to be huge buds.

Journal de culture - Semaine 3 de croissance La plante a bien repris sa vigueur cette semaine, développant une belle masse racinaire, ce qui est très encourageant. Elle continue de se développer et je m’efforce de la maintenir la plus basse possible en utilisant des techniques de Low Stress Training. J’ai essayé le pinching, qui consiste à pincer légèrement les extrémités des branches pour les courber. Cela permet de rediriger les hormones de croissance vers les parties inférieures, ce qui maximise le développement des pousses. J’ai également effectué une légère défoliation en enlevant quelques grandes feuilles superflues. Pour le reste, je surveille principalement le pH. J’essaie de le maintenir autour de 5.8, mais avec les tampons présents dans les produits Terra Aquatica, il remonte régulièrement à 6.2. Je me demande si ce pH légèrement élevé pourrait être à l’origine d’un problème de coloration des feuilles, car la plante semble présenter une légère carence malgré la présence de tous les nutriments nécessaires. Je fais attention à ne pas ajouter trop d’acide afin de ne pas surcharger la solution nutritive. Globalement, la plante est en bonne santé et continue de bien évoluer. Je pense passer en floraison d’ici une ou deux semaines maximum. Étant donné qu’il s’agit d’une variété Jack Herer, qui a tendance à beaucoup s’étirer en floraison, je préfère la maintenir encore un peu en croissance pour travailler tranquillement avec les techniques de Low Stress Training et la défoliation. On verra son évolution la semaine prochaine ! 🇺🇸 Grow Diary - Week 3 of Veg The plant has regained its vigor this week, developing a strong root mass, which is great. It keeps growing, and I’m trying to keep it as low as possible using Low Stress Training techniques. I’ve been trying pinching, which involves lightly pinching the tips of the branches to bend them. This redirects the growth hormones to the lower parts, maximizing the development of new shoots. I’ve also done a bit of light defoliation by removing some large, unnecessary leaves. Other than that, I’m mainly monitoring the pH. I’m trying to keep it as close to 5.8 as possible, but the buffers in the Terra Aquatica products keep raising it to 6.2. I’m wondering if this slightly higher pH might be causing some discoloration on the leaves—it feels like a deficiency, even though all the necessary nutrients are present. I’m cautious about adding too much acid to avoid overloading the nutrient solution. Overall, the plant is healthy and continues to grow well. I’m thinking about switching to flowering in a week or two at most. Since this is a Jack Herer strain, which tends to stretch a lot during flowering, I want to keep it in veg a bit longer while working with Low Stress Training and defoliation. We’ll see how it evolves next week! 🤘😎🤘

Harvested the Purple Lemonade. Smell of the flower is extreme! Most of the rosin is coming from the cuttings of the Tropicana Cookies. However, I have not been able to “cure” the cuttings of the other plants at a controlled 62% humidity, so this may not be a meaningful result. Thought a little more Anthocyan would surive, but i may have to press @ 160 Mikron next time, will try :)

Hey family. Weekly update on these purple girls. One is super purple as the other two have shades of it. Getting close as most likely only a couple more weeks. I really couldn't be happier the way they're progressing and the flowers are dense to the touch with a super sweet smell.
