Epilogue:
Hey guys, there's nothing else to post about Sue Anne the Sour Apple Auto other than a smoke report when she's all cured up, and I can and will post that in a Strain/Smoke Report in the other section. I'm going to close this journal out. Thanks to everyone who helped me along this journey, your input has been invaluable. I really appreciate anyone who followed along or checked in.
This was nice. A quickie 7 page job. Lol. Kind of cool doing a one plant journal, they don't get to be 40+ pages. Lol. Too many factors at play to really draw any conclusions from the "experiment," other than we learned the importance of keeping as consistent a spectrum as possible on your plants so as to provide them as non-changing an environment in that regard as you can. I suppose that knowledge is valuable. Also, based on what I've learned since this plant was harvested (thanks
@Emilya), I would have been Ph-ing to 6.3 rather than 6.5-6.6 for the entirety of the grow. Probably cost myself some quality and yield there. Oh, and we also learned that 95 degrees is too hot for the Sour Apple and will curl her leaves rather quickly. Whether the strain always grows one main cola as this plant did and little else every time (assuming no training) remains to be seen, but the Sour Apple going now that's briefly mentioned in my current journal ought to answer that question.
Here's a few final notes on Sue Anne, and I'll give the appropriate more detail in the smoke report in a couple weeks.
Yield: Weak - 1 oz. + 1 1/8th of perfect final trimmed buds - very little trim for the Trim Bin
Quality: Very High - based on test buds pre-cure - will know better in a few weeks
THC: Moderate - maybe 22-23% - will have a better idea when I can smoke it in earnest
Taste: Yet to be determined pending cure
Growing: Couldn't be easier on every level
Size at the end: 27" tall
Girth: Never got wider than the pot itself
Total time from seed in wet paper towel: 79 Days
Training: Zero
Defoliation: Extremely minimal
Nutes: Fox Farms trio, CalMag plus Iron, organic blackstrap molasses, mycorrhizae
Soil: Fox Farms blend - OF/HF/perlite
Pots: Started in Dixie cup, transplanted to 5 gallon AirPot
Thanks again for your help and following along! Happy Growing!
