First grow = success! 45g dry from one plant and 73g from the other. Following the advice of Dr. Bruce Bugbee, I used Jack's Peat Lite 20-10-20 from day 1 through harvest with no other nutrients. I had some low pH issues late into flower, but overall it was easy to grow with no real issues from the plants themselves. Flowers are sticky, small, and compact. Smell very piney and fresh. Taste is piney, earthy and somewhat lemony. Well balanced high that is great for after work or on weekends. The buds are now curing for the next 30 days. After curing, I will report back with a final review.

Reviews. Nutrient
Cheap and effective. As a first time grower I don't have anything to compare this fertilizer to. In veg, my plants loved this stuff and had explosive growth, reaching 39" tall and 30-40" wide. Considering the very low cost and how well it works, I can't imagine a better veg nutrient for peat-grown plants. It's possible other nutrients made specifically for flowering cannabis would have increased yields and/or quality. Next time I will test Jack's versus specially formulated flowering nutrients on two of the same strain and see if there is a noticeable difference. At the very least, I would strongly recommend Jack's for plants in veg.
Reviews. Lamp
Made in USA and a fantastic light with very low heat output. Will definitely buy from HLG in the future since they are high quality and made in America.

Harvested days 80 and 89. Easy to grow strain that handled every mistake I threw at it. I would say it's a good strain for new growers since it seemed quite resilient. I had some low pH issues issues late into flower which took a few weeks to correct, almost certainly affecting the yield. I will definitely grow this again.

congrats on the harvest. I'm using Bruce Bugbee Method as well (1st grow), are you going to use that Peat/Vermiculite medium again or do you think it can be only used once!

Great following along with your grow. I just started the same. You show you are watering about .5l per 24hrs per plant how much runoff are you getting? I water every few days using a soil probe and weight to determine dryness. But, I may switch to more regular lighter watering if I can get your results.

@Dusty_Shackleford, well I am definitely going to make some changes to my watering. I probably water about 1/3 of what you do. My plants appear healthy but my yield is typically about an ounce. AVT will get more water going forward. Thank you for your assistance
Dusty_Shackleford
Dusty_Shacklefordcommented3 years ago
@Aberj3, At this point it's up to about 1.5 gallons per plant per day. During veg it was about 0.5 gal per plant and I watered once per day. I now water twice per day and always get at least 20% runoff. I would strongly suggest an automatic watering system because hand watering and measuring runoff takes about 2 hours every day.

@@chronicnuggets, Thanks! Dr. Bruce is a legend and following his method has been super easy. I just hope flowering goes as well as vegging did.
