Good grow, for the most part it went smooth. The two points were things felt off I chalk up to not managing the on/off time for AP rez correctly. Pictures on this strain review are 2 of the 4.
Outside of that, dense big buds and great color on this grow.
mixed reviews on this tent and I would not purchase it again. it's strong and nice materials, but can leak light at seams and zipper
the lack of side doors is terrible.
AC sells a newer shell that has side doors, but about $100 if we choose to replace that part.
I likely won't buy AC tents again.
Amazing harvest.
Weights quoted are dry (we didn't weigh wet) - can't figure out how to change "wet" to "dry" on the GD interface. dense and sparkly buds w/ heavy overall yield, exceeded expectations.
Note post-trim pics don't show all plants; didn't think to take pics of 2 of them before grove bagging them to cure.
Hey there friend. Would you be alright with me offering some pointers? So cannabis plants LOVE heat and humidity. It is the buds that hate it. In veg we want to take advantage of this fact to help our plants grow along much quicker and more vigorously. In veg we can look for temps of 79-84 MAX with lights on & no more than 9 degrees less with lights off. If we allow for too much temperature swing between lights on and lights off while the plant is still growing vertically up to day 20 of flower, We will cause the plant to stretch ALOT which we do not want. So in veg & early flower, Keeping our temperature gaps nice and close between lights on and off is key. Utilizing humidity in our rooms during veg will also help out a lot with more rapid growth but we must introduce it properly. In our rooms we have our temperature and humidity set-points, But when we combine those 2 it forms a third set-point which is the most important & that is called VPD, Vapor pressure deficit.
I strongly recommend every new grower or old grower who has not learned it yet, To study and understand it & implement it into your room, Logging your numbers daily.

For soil, We generally want to go for a PH of 6.1.
This website does a GREAT job of illustrating it with a nice graph & very good detailed explanation for soil.

As we briefly touched on before, During veg & early flower we want our temperature gap's nice and tight to avoid stretch. Why exactly our plants stretch in response to this is a genetic trigger being activated by the environmental stress essentially telling the plant the end of the season is closer than it really is. In veg & early flower the plant is still in its first stage of development which is to grow up wide and tall so when it produces seed, It can cast them out nicely. Remember, Whether we are growing our plants for seed or bud their genetic responses do not change as they gh sidedo not know any different. Once the plant has finished that first stage of growth by weeks 4-6 of flower with most strains, It is by day 20 of flower. Autoflowers you have to watch for it, But once the plant has finished this goal its new mission is to focus 100% on producing nice big flower clusters & to get very sticky so it can attract pollen to it successfully.
So once that vertical growth is finished, We actually now want to begin to expose our plants to larger temperature swings between lights on and lights off. This will help activate that genetic response and allow us to draw out the most potential from the strain utilizing the plants genetic triggers to environmental stresses at the right times. When we are in flower temperature will really play a big role how our buds form up, If our rooms are too cold below 75 they will form very small buds but very very dense. If we grow our buds out at temperature over 80 degrees we get bigger buds, But they can develop airy and foxtail which we do not get much weight from. Also higher temps will defuse the resin glands over time destroying them. We can also take this a step further with doing light deprivation in the last 2 weeks using less light to simulate cloud cover. Very cold feed temps on the last flush is very good too. If you do not have them already, Get yourself a good PAR meter & thermal laser temp gun to monitor your plant top temperatures & optimize how much light your plants are getting. We are currently in the middle of producing a very comprehensive tutorial series for everybody to learn from & understand how to grow the highest level craft cannabis all on their own. If this interests you please check out our youtube and subscribe. The first 2 episodes are out the next one is coming in a few days. If you should ever have any questions or need any help, Please feel free to follow my profile and shoot me a DM. I will gladly help you with the pull down & make sure you get the best quality harvest possible as it is the most important step of the entire process.
Happy growing friend!
@funkyb, jajaja yo también siempre me mando alguna cagada! En mi última cosecha olvide 5 días sin ventilador y se llenó de moho en el momento del secado!
@JuanHaze_Arg, thanks my dude! It's our 2nd grow and we're thrilled so far. Here's hoping we don't do anything stupid in the last mile or dry! Just added wk12 pics.
Buenas porras amigo!!! Se ve muy bien el cultivo.,Hace tiempo que quiero probar algo de solfiregardens. Todas Sus cepas tienen muy buena pinta, pero sale muy caro comprarlas en España… el precio suele ser 100$ 10 semillas. Aqui en España existen bancos muy buenos con precios muy asequibles. 25 semillas feminizadas de calidad 50€ .en fin los precios de las semillas en Estados Unidos y europa son muy diferentes… también te digo que esas variedades americanas que veo tienen un aspecto brutal! Quizás algún día me gasto un poco más y compre alguna variedad de solfiregardens , junky seeds farms o algo por el estilo…
