Three years in (2019-2022), and these lights are still kicking ass. Not much incentive to upgrade just yet. Although priced a little higher than what's available on the market these days, HLG continues to hold their place in the industry through quality and innovation.
Early harvest to make room for a new grow, Samsquanch x (Strawberry Nuggets x Skywalker) by Mephisto, a freebie tester.
Fun and easy grow. This is my first time trying Mephisto, and I'm not disappointed. She grows true to spec, and is VERY loud during early and mid flower, yielding only towards the end. All gas and spice. Reminds me of the ghost of SFVOG (SFV local here), and her closest surviving relative Motorbreath XD If you're looking for a classic gassy strain, this is it. It's not for everyone, but everyone should try it once.
The yield was good. I ran 140-180w during flower, and my yield was a little over 231 grams total. This includes everything, from the tops to the mids and larf as well. This gives me a gram per watt ratio of 1.4g/watt. Not bad, not great.
Highly recommend trying out Mephisto. Order direct as there's some perks to buying direct over buying from a seed bank.
AMF!

Smoke review
Easy grow in coco. Small but dense. Stealthy growers beware, she's a stinky one, yielding only towards the end. Harvested at day 86 to make space for some Meph testers. Easily could have done another week or two, with the colas only getting thicker by the day.
She presses very nicely. I've mostly been pressing the larf to see worst case scenario and to get rid of the larf in general, and so far it all just looks amazing. Min 15% return, all pressed @ 190f using 90u bags.
Amazing grow!
Very impressive nuggs.
How is your experience using Masterblend 4 - 18 - 38 wit Calcium Nitrate and Magnesium Sulphate?
I have just started using that with an Autopot System. Any advice?
Oh and I was wondering about the "Garden Friendly Fungicide" that you always add.
What is that made of and what does it protect against?
In order to prevent mold, mildew or any other bad fungus,
I just spray a small amount of longlasting, systemic, chemical fungicide
- once during clone stage and one last time during growth around 2-3 weeks before flower, so 10-12 weeks before harvest and that's it.
