Slimer performed way better than expected this time around. Second time running this strain, plants took off and were double the size of the last round. Same grape/citrus smell as last time, can't wait to get em dried/cured.
Harvest was on Day 80 from Seed
Second run with this strain and she more than passed expectations! I thought the buds were big last go round but holy sh*t are they ever big this time around! And just packed with crystals, seriously can't wait to try this round and compare vs last round. The switch to Autopots was a huge improvement in my grow. Plants double the size of last time and I'm betting 30-50% more yield after dry and cute. Nice not having to water every day or two, gives you more time to focus on other aspects of growing and life. Maybe partially why the better outcome, more time spent on plant maintenance vs just watering. Was pretty impressed with the diameter of the stalk vs the size of the hole water moves through. These girls were pushing a LOT of water and you can tell when you see how hollow the stalks are. Despite that they were strong as ever. Never had a branch snap or bend, and I didn't use any plant support this go around.
Was pretty impressed with trichomes production this time around as well. Buds were just packed and sticky AF while being so dense that they barely compress when squeezed. Also both plants went quite dark/purple in the end this go around where last run they were lighter like #1 was to start.
Got a couple seeds left of this strain, will be saving them for once I eventually run out of bud. Really like the taste and effects from this strain, want to keep it around long as I can since I didn't see it listed any more on the breeders page š¤
Smoke review
Well the experiment was a success. Compared to the same strain grown in soil and hand watered got 85 grams more with the Autopots and soil/perilite. So about 30% more yield and that's with barely any training and no topping. Also the crystal pack on this run is so heavy! Have to wait for test results but wouldn't be surprised if similar or more potent as last run.
Was a nice easy grow, only had to clean up fan leaves 2 or 3 times.
The two girls packed the 3x3, I'm pretty happy with the results š
Plant #1 167g
Plant #2 157g
Trim 102g
Dry sift from trim tray 10g
Total dry sift after tumble 27.5g
Absolutely beautiful. I am considering autopots, but not being able to flush, or have runoff to check my ppms scares me.
I believe I will go with a drip irrigation system. Idk.. it's so hard to chose.
I do know that picking up 3g pots to switch to new runoff trays suck. Especially when I got to pick up each one and switch trays 3 or 4 times. Having 10 plants, it takes me literally 2hrs to water and check runoffs.. every single day.
there has to be a better way
@Grow_for_Happiness, I thought I had responded to you. Idk why my response isn't showing. Anyways thanks for the response and tips. I really appreciate it. I believe I may try them at some point, but a drain to waste system will be my preferred method for now. Hey bro, it works tho your KILLING IT those ladies are absolutely beautiful š
@@@DoughHead, holy sh*t dude 2 hours a day? I could see how it takes that long but daaaaaamn you've got determination!
I went with the Autopots because I was tired of watering every 2 days for 30 minutes a time š .
Also I like the idea of not having to run multiple pumps.
While it is true you can't really check the ppm from runoff since there is none, you can flush the plants quite easily. Either have a second reservoir with plain PH water that you just switch to, or empty your reservoir with nutes into bucket(s) and refill with PH water. I had to flush half way through this run when I hit the girls with a high EC a bit too early, and the two reservoir method worked great. If flushing make sure to pull out the pots and let them drain a bit, and also empty the trays before turning on the ph water tap.
