French Macaron
Growing it
Hard
Resistance
Strong
So, I ran this French Macaron in living soil, with top dressings up to week six of flower. Personally, I made the grow harder than it had to be b/c I got lazy. Didn't monitor the ph until it was too late. B/c of I didn't, it created ph fluctuations resulting in nutrient deficiencies, which took two flushing to correct. So, word to the wise, monitoring ph, ppm, and PPFD is critical regardless of soil medium. I think with a more advanced grower this plant would have performed much better. Have to have another crack at growing her.

Nutrients
I enjoyed its ease of use along with the results during vegetative stage (as a supplement). It doesn't, IMHO, meet the needs during flower (delivers too low ppm readings. I will continue to use RG during my summer outdoor balcony grow as a foliar spray and for compost teas, but will need to supplement to ensure plant has the right amount of nutrients it needs to survive the dog days of summer.
I use these sparingly during the Fall 2022 grow. I plan to use FF extensively during the spring 2023 grow season, since I will be switching to hydro using coco coir and bubble buckets. Rating is based on past grow experience. Not sure I would use the Happy Frog F&F next grow.
Use this to top dress during weeks 5-6 of flower. The thing is this: amendments take a long time to breakdown, so the plant can uptake what it needs. I really didn't notice that much of a difference, but that could be the fact my ph was way out of wack, so not the best conditions for nutrient uptake.
Did what it said would do, so no complaints that I can think of at this time.
Lights
Love my FC-E3000 LED. The only time I would change out would be to upgrade to a FC-E4800. While the harvest of gifted clones grown in the 3x3 was light, the quality is the BEST I've grown to date. The Mars-Hydro had a lot to do with the results. Easy to dial in PPFDs at the appropriate grow stages with the dimmer.
Tents
Given garage grow area restrictions, this is the perfect size along with it's sister AC Infinity 2x4 tent.
The breeder's info was pretty much spot on. Suggested flower time 65-75 days and she was harvested day 67. This is the second grow popping gear from TH Seeds. Consistently, branches are thick and woody. IMO, these are prime for an outdoor grow, which I have plans for this summer (i.e., too hot to grow indoors). Grown in a 5 gallon plastic, she produced 3.4 oz of some dank nugs and colas. Once I get a bit more seasoned, I definitely want another crack at growing her.
Smoke review
Coming straight out the dry tent at 58% ROH, her dry spot on. Dry trimmed for curing. Total dry weight 94 gm or 3.4 oz of very resinous bud. Already smoking amazing! Rolled joint burned perfectly even with resin forming ring w/white ash. First impressions gas and cream. I taste some vanilla, but that could be the cream. Not heady like a sativa. This ones total chill with body relaxation. Pain relief. Anxiety too. Total chill smoke. Would grow again in heartbeat. Smoking so good and not even cured proper.

@GrapevineGrower2,i use root it cubes , as they are better than peat pellets , more of a sponge the peat can be a little hard to penetrate

@BigDaddyK, just a heads up that on day 13 half of my 12 cuttings have emerging roots. This is only the second time cutting/cloning (first time a complete disaster). I purchased the Midas Hydro b/c it was recommended in a GrowWeedEasy article I read about cloning. GWE also recommended using both gel and rooting powder, but I experimented with just the gel out the gate. Transplanting those clones into dixie cups in the morning and I'll post some updated photos in next week's diary update. Check it out, if you're interested and have the time.

@BigDaddyK, Midas Hydro is the brand I use, which was purchased from Amazon. First time using a rooting gel and peat pellets. Day 6 today, so I hope to see roots emerging in next 3-4 days.
