This is my first grow but I don't think I will ever see such a colorful tent with other strains. I had 3 distinct phenos which was really cool since I only planted 3 seeds. Two of them liked to stretch and grew very tall (the one that ended up with the most color was the tallest of them all while the one that turned black/dark purple first was the medium height) while the once that stay dark green until the fade at the top leaves turned black/dark purple was shorter and more bushy. They responded well to topping beyond a few bugs flying around (used yellow sticky traps and dried out the soil once and they were gone). Never had any other issues pest or disease wise. The low temp last few weeks of flowering was pretty low (60 degrees) which probably helped to bring out the colors. They had a strong sweet smell that reminded me of PEZ!

Reviews. Nutrient
I used this after they sprouted and a few times during watering and they really seemed to love it.
The Cal-Mag helped with the purpling stems (though I didn't give enough at times). The Sweet seemed to work well at the end of the grow instead of using Cal-Mag.
Feed them the recommended amounts every 4th watering and the plants turned out well.
Reviews. Lamp
Great lights! It wasn't ideal but I was able to veg plants (and into the first few weeks of flower) in a 5x5. It was obviously not ideal but it worked until I could move the SF-7000 in. They loved when I was able to put the correct size light in.
Reviews. Tent
I loved this tent I have a AC Infinity inline fan 6" in this tent as well. The controller connects perfectly to the reader on the outside of the tent so I can set the temp and humidity range I want. Even when the fan is on its not very noticeable. The tent had no issues holding up the SF-7000 which is a pretty big light. No issues so far with the tent it appears to be well made just like their fans.

I'm sad to cut them down as I loved seeing what each day brought to the fade. This is my first run and likely the most colorful one I will ever have. Its been a long 4 months since they sprouted and its been a crazy grow across 3 tents with 2 different lights but without even trying it yet I can say it will be completely worth it once I can try out the weed. It was tricky trying to cut the branches out as I had put some of them through multiple slots. I was only able to hang maybe half the branches the other half I had to use either saver clips or the little metal twist ties though they seemed to have worked quite well. I don't have a weight yet as they are drying but I will update this grow once they are dried and trimmed. Update: All 3 plants have been trimmed and are curing in jars. ARC #1 (back left) yielded ~95g, ARC #2 (front left) yielded ~71g and ARC #3 (right) yielded ~120g totaling 287g after drying which is a little over 10oz. While thats not great for a 5'x5' most of the grow was under a SF-2000. I was only able to get the SF-7000 in there until the end of week 4 of flower.

@Oklahomasunrise, It was an LE strain that Seedsman (@Seedsman) seeds was giving away as freebies with their orders a while back. I don't think they currently sell it but I wish they did I would buy it in a second!

Oh my goodness me this has to be one of the greatest first grows I've seen on this site so far. Wow. Look at those colours. What a beautiful grow. I am currently going through your diaries in week by week in date order. If you fancy doing similar with mine then the order is: "Experimental 1st Grow" (plant abuse), Karen (Kings Kush Auto), Bertha (Big Bang Auto - stunted), Queen Citronella (Super Lemon Haze), Nesia (Amnesia Haze Auto), Enigma (Tiny Pot Mystery Auto), Misty (Mystery Auto). I am just finishing your first grow here, what stunning colours - really makes me want to try some F2! (speaking of which I have some F1 seeds arriving any day). Wondering where your room is that it loses power and gets flooded! On a boat? In a swamp? Hah. You're not Shrek are you? hahaha

@gabool, after such a start I'm keen to see your current grows mature.

@UnorthadoxDude, lol I'm not Shrek. My house loses power a few times a year it seems like. This was before we got a battery backup for our sump pump so our basement flooded (which is where the tents are). Lots of learning from that grow. Thanks it was an amazing first grow and sure I will check out your grows.

Very nice pal. Pity about no9 but hey, 8-9 is super good. Think I had a 6-10 on my 2nd run. But I was drowning my seeds in germination. Hope you enjoyed your bounties.
