Despite almost killing this plant multiple times, she would not give up! A great plant to grow as a first-time grower. I may have dried out the plant too quickly at too low an RH, and that's another thing I will try to improve for next time.
I vaped it through a Pax2 last night for the first try and WOW is it strong! The taste is only slightly different than the store-bought pink kush I've smoked/vaped, and it's only slightly harsher than the "professional" stuff. Overall, I'm super impressed and happy with the outcome.
Here are the last of my diary notes.
December 14
Branches snapped in my fingers so I think they’re dry. Been drying around 40% RH and 73F
Might have dried it too quickly or without enough humidity.
28g dry, in three jars
December 12
Drying. The humidity seems around 40% and temp around 71F. Not ready.
December 11
Harvested! Got 134g in wet weight after manicuring.
December 9
Pulled her out of the tent and stuck her under a bin, which I then covered in a blanket. I'll keep her in this complete darkness for 48 hours before harvesting.
December 8
Last day in the tent!

She's done! Ready to be harvested.
You can see the color difference between the top and bottom of the plant.
I ended up with 3 jars like this for about 1oz dried.

Reviews. Nutrient
I can't put any fault on the nutrients when I was learning so much. I'll definitely be back to use these, as directed, for my next grow too. I may start at half strength and try to ramp up to maybe 75% strength next time.
Looking back, I don't think I had a pest issue, but I'd use this again if I needed to.
Reviews. Lamp
This light works well in my small 2x2' tent. It's difficult to get the PAR up to 1000 unless the plants are really close to it, like 6-8 inches away. This doesn't seem to be too problematic, but if I were to try and grow 3 plants in the tent (my goal for next time), I don't think every plant would get what it needed.
Reviews. Tent
Great little grow tent. Only wish is that it had some horizontal bars on the sides to clip more things to, like a fan.
This Pink Kush was ideal to use for my first grow. It was forgiving and ended up giving me exactly what I was after: a strong high that helps me relax and wind down for bed. It's not so strong that I get couchlock though, which is good.
The harvest itself went well using a hanging netted bag in a dark closet. Next time I'd like to try and dry it in the tent so that I can better control the humidity, but that wasn't possible this time since I have a white widow plant in there still. I did decently enough with the wet trim and would replicate that again next time.

What do you think caused the taproot to get tangled in the rockwool cube like that? Is it just because it wasn't wet enough (i.e., I didn't soak the cube)?

Im a dwc grower my friend and this can happen quite alot and theres not much you can do about it other than wait or rip it open and repostion the reason i think is that because there is no light when germing they are kind of guessing where to sprout and sometimes they try and sprout in reverse I think the best thing to do when this happens is just wait in my opinion
happykatstarted grow question 3 years ago
Curling and yellowing of leaves in a few instances, both near the top and bottom of the plant, with no noticeable discoloration on the branches in between.
I'm feeding it 1/4 strength Grow Big (2Cups) and 1/4 strength CalMag (1Cup) when I water every 3rd day. Ph runoff 6.8.

TheUk420Showanswered grow question 3 years ago
Yellowing leaves at the bottom of the plant is often a sign shes not getting enough nitrogen I would up the feed to 1/2 of what it says on the bottle and see how you go. Points for only using 1/4 of the formula this guys been listening :) best of luck and if you add more feed this should clear up as quick as it started :)

If it is tiny blemishes on a few leaves and you dont see any traces of bugs (also doesnt look deficient) you may have just been a bit rough with it or caught it with your LST ties or what have ya

Hello the small variations of color according to my brief experience of course may be due to too close proximity of light. Then of course keep in mind that the new buds that come out are always a slightly lighter green

@Breadandbuds, thanks for the tip! I have definitely wondered if my light was turned up too high. It's already raised up as far as it'll go in the tent, so I may just have to turn it down. I'm sitting at 75% on the light right now, but previously it was at 100%, then down to 80%, now down to 75%. I haven't been able to find any guides for the Spider Farmer SP1000 in terms of distance and percentage.

Your LST looks great and much more effective than mine 🙈 At least she looks evenly spaced out! I have similar marks and cuts on my leaves too. I think it’s where I’ve damaged her from the LST personally.

@greenhousegrowgirl, good to know! I no longer believe it was bugs, especially now that you've said you see similar things.
It's not as good as it looks haha most of it is tied to the bag handles and they're not very sturdy. Next grow I'll have to do something better.
