Zkittlez (First Grow)

Crop failure was due to a cascade of negligence: - Getting over confident and slacking on my IPM in the last few weeks of veg/early flower. - I overdid it on the molasses, which put the soil in a semi-anaerobic state, inviting gnats. Soil smelled somewhat like a wet towel by the end of it. - Unaware that the "chop and drop" method of mulching is a prime environment for a thrip party. Didn't notice them until it was too late. - Trying to dry out the soil to make it uninhabitable for pests and larva was severely slowing down growth and basically put whatever system was left in the soil at a stand still. - Anaerobic soil was basically suffocating the roots, when I dumped the container, there was barely any rootmass. All of these mistakes resulted in a terpless, early harvest. On to the next grow, will be my second, going to pop an Anvil autoflower from Gnome Automatics, just waiting for my cover crop to come through the mulch.
