| This was my first grow so I made a few mistakes so I think I could definitely have yielded more with some experience.
When my seeds arrived I soaked them in spring water over night and put them in peat pellets when the seeds cracked. I started with 160w fluoro and continued with it through veg (24/7, 45 days). My 1000w HPS finally arrived and I switched to 12/12 immediately. After 3 days into flowering they were tied down to promote undergrowth. They did much better after being tied down and being put under the HPS. I ferted with Shultz all purpose during veg, and Miracle-Gro Rose Food during flowering. I started with 10 plants and ended up with 7 females, from which I harvested 8oz. There was a 100% germ rate on the seeds. The smoke was somewhat heady since I was forced to harvest at 47 days due to my landlord wanting to show my apartment. About 40% of the trichomes were amber when I harvested. I ended up with 2, 1 quart zip-lock bags full of nice trim from which I made Ice-hash and canna-butter. The hash was strong and potent, 2 hits and I was good for 3 hours or so. I would recommend to a first timer since they were very low maintenance. Some words of caution would be to watch for mold in more humid climates because the main colas are very dense. I have also heard they are prone to hermie but luckily, I didn't have that problem. Overall, I would say they were great for the price, and a perfect strain to cut my teeth on.
Garden Information for this report They were grown in a pre-mixed potting soil blend with perlite added. Their home was a 12 sqft. space in my attic. 160w fluoro for veg and 1000w HPS to flower. I had an A/C to keep temps down and bring in fresh air. There were three fans, one on the plants, one pointed towards the lamp and one on the ballast. The temps fluctuated but stayed around 75-80F. |
