@DreamIT, Thanks for commenting and following my grow. I can't say I'll be this detailed in future diaries, but details are the goal of this diary. Cheers mate!
@MrHightimes, Thanks for the positive props man. I had your MQ diary bookmarked and you did a phenomenal job on that one.
So far this strain is not flinching at anything I throw at them. Still a long way to go, but so far I'm happy with the growth and progress. Happy growing! Cheers!
The amount of effort you put into documenting this grow is definitely not lost on me, and congrats on the amazing results!!! Also, really diggin the breakdown format you had for your harvest entry. Looking forward to your next 🤙
@MyWeedAccount, Thanks so much for the kind words man! It was a lot of time to document and post it, so I'm unsure when I'll post another diary as detailed as this one.
I'm hoping to start up the next run in September! I'll surely be following your grows and your unique cooler DWC system. Have fun with your grow!
woah those look sooo gorgggg! nice grow man, do you by any chance have any extra night owl seeds? if so do you think i could get just one. Im from virginia and we just legalized weed in july and i really wanna start growing😍
@jeffhardi, Thanks so much for the kind comment. Congrats on the legalization in VA! I am in Canada but follow @myweedaccount for Night Owl/Mephisto diaries - He's located in VA and may be able to offer some suggestions. Night Owl won't be doing any drops until later this year, but you may be able to find some stock at seed banks in the US. Also, check out Mephisto and Roc Bud for solid auto genetics.
