Very very nice! What kind of smells are you getting?
My eyes water when I open a jar.
It is the most pungent, sour, fuely stank I have ever experienced.
I'm flowering a cut right now and the fan leaves started looking very rusty then necrotic around week 4.
Your fans look kinda messed up too, any comment?

Here are some dry shots. Each bud is just a dense, dredlocks of calyxes and they glisten almost white with trichomes.
It stinks.
I feel like I should say that again because it really does reek.
All of the SK's stretched a LOT. Like 4x starting size. The branches ended up long and lanky and had to be supported. Also led to maxing out my headroom too soon which in turn led to heat stress.
The buds are much denser this time around but still very asymmetrical. Might be a characteristic of the strain.
Anyway, great strain in terms of potency, aroma, trichome coverage, clayx:leaf.
Down side would be the obscene stretching/lanky branches.
Definitely keeping this and Iced GRapefruit for the next 5 or so runs.

I use BHO exclusively nowadays and the oil from this strain is my favorite.
Tough to find adjextives to describe the taste but it abounds in the BHO. If it were a fragrance, I'd call it "Essence of Sour Kush"
Skunky, Sour, Floral, Exotic... Sour Kushy???
The fuel notes are there but without a cure and no real baseline for comparison, I can't say.
Not to mention I am a relative novice and any lack of quality is more likely to be something I did than an issue with the strain.

Pretty girl ya have there Ron, nice work.
Don't quote me but I find this to be the case when a strain is magnesium starved. I give mag supplement 10-14 days before initating flower and continue until flush. Also I transition feed high ppm 1/2 and 1/2 veg flower nutes for the first 15-20 days of flower. Has made all the difference in the world with all cuts but a full different world for the more finicky ones (OG's, sour's and haze crosses)1

See my post regarding water source. Ca & Mg usually travel together.
Few more pics.

Thanks for the informative thread and awesome pics. Might have to give RP another go after seeing this! My OG #18 from their old stock was super dank, but I haven't tried their stuff recently.
I have to say, this is one of the best strains I have ever had. And every person who tries it says the same thing.
The first waft off a sealed jar has made people stumble.
I have been doing 1-6 dabs daily for the last year and a half. 3 single calyxes in a little glass spoon and I put it down.
Exceptional.
And I'm not even doing it right. I can't wait to see 5 or 10 grows from now. This one isn't going anywhere.
