Only a tough grow because the big girl went absolutely nuts stretching in flower. Beautiful grow otherwise, just have the head-room and be willing to wait a good 70 days (unless I stunted them, which is possible- one girl was way too close to the light). I'll have more to say, and more numbers soon but super frosty, super stanky and the bud structure on all three sure look a lot like the GMO strain (my wife is freaking out every time I burp the jars). Even if not, this is heavy indica, narcotic-headband weed, dried down to 64-65% in only 6 days at 65-73F and 55-65rh. So freaking happy with the results and potency, even before the cure. Thanks Mamiko! DAMN! EDIT: 1 Month after harvest and I'm still amazed. We've picked up some dispo 'Platinum' quality flower just to compare, some 20% GG4, and neither of us (the wife or myself) are touching it. I'm a daily smoker of 35 years. I'm not exaggerating that this is 1-and-done top shelf potency (until the very end of the day). Finally saw a gleaf selling "Chem Cookies" in a neighboring state (Va still suffers from poor quality because dispos have to grow their own in-state): 30% THC. Check Allbud- 28-30? The harshness and potency was overwhelming at first, and after getting COVID last year I just can't say much about taste and smell (other than skunky, diesel) but now cured for a month- holy hell! Smoother, but still sticky and stinky af. πŸ‘Œ

The big girl was so big she needed more than Grow Dots was giving her by Wk 4 of flower but should be an easy fix with a feeding of KoolBloom next time in Wk 3.
My guess is that it works, but it's too expensive when Recharge does the same thing (I learned 1/2 way through) and 1/4 of the price. Stinks too and can be messy by comparison.
My go-to from now on. I'm dialed in with these, running the CalMag (in a Blumats rez) until the end of flower (I dial up until Wk 4 of flower, then dial back), and I add Sweet in Wk 3 of Flower ramping up to Wk 6-7 (typically but with this 72-74 day strain, maybe until Wk 8-9 would work better).
Did I use this? Oh yeah- briefly but changed my mind/brand after a single week (ran out of BB). It's fine - cool name, but I'm using Sweet from now on.
Now my go-to for addressing underfed plants in flower.

Even the strawberry-shaped buds a foot beneath the canopy are rocks! Without that quality coverage/penetration I would've ended up with 1/2 this much, and only the very tops would have that density. Trust me - I've used under-powered lights and I suffered for it. Get 400w or more for your 3x4 or 4x4 or else! ;) Just amazing features- having all that heat outside the tent in the summer is huge (growing in a shed).
Reviews. Tent
Not the thickest, but that pliability has benefits too. Being able to roll the door open to get more air, release the humidity, etc is really helpful. If you don't care much about light leaks (in my shed set-up, the rest of the shed or "lung room" is dark anyway) it's a great option, and easy to modify (I took out the shelf). It's short though- and that's why I'll end up upgrading in January. I controlled the canopy as best I could this run, but this strain went crazy quickly and ended up 11" from the light. Had to keep it dialed down to 75% in the final weeks.

Only 6 and 7 days to dry in 65F 60% rh and all three were right at 63-65% rh in the jars right away so - no need for packs. Really amazing haul, and this quality would cost me about $4-6000 at the dispo. Happy harvesting homies!

I'm following this because of the Grow dots. I see they're becoming a little problematic. I hear they work best on autoflowers in coco/perlite because of the way they time release. I'm going to do a side by side on a couple of autos my next round and see what's up. Good luck, your flowers are looking pretty good βœŒοΈπŸ’šπŸŒ±

@Wanda, Thanks! I think some of it's the strain- wants to touch the light and eats a ton, and now it looks like could take at least 9 weeks flowering to finish. I think the bigger issues were mostly my fault. The other 2 Growdots plants were well-fed but I should've seen how pale the monster was getting in wk 2-3 of flower and just used a PK booster- the bigger mistake was turning off the Calmag in coco loco and then letting her get 10" from the light. I've run some Growdots in everything including just peat moss with some perlite and they work in everything but you're prob right that they work best with autos- 1 pot, no transplanting, 11 weeks. Happy experimenting! πŸ™πŸ‘Š
