Disclaimer: This review is only for the specific seed(s) or strain(s) and does not comprise the breeder as a whole due to environmental factors, phenotype's, genotype's and their effects on quality, user compatibility and yield. Single strain grows are recognized as individual specimens while grows concerning multiple specimens of same genetics and breeder will include detailed logs of each plant. Average statistics on growth rate, stability, health, and quality will also be included. This is to avoid giving companies, private seed breeding organizations and individuals a poor or biased rating, My opinion is based on my experiences throughout the cultivation period and final product quality. Any questions may be asked directly or in comments. Thank you for your understanding, Meus. ~ History ~ For those who didn’t follow my grow this one seed had some strange results. First was noticing early budding with quite a few leaves that had only 3 - 4 fingers, deformed and overall looked small compared to the others. I originally thought that I had a defective auto blueberry but that was not the case. And to make sure it wasn’t environmental I checked the other plants to see if there were any similar or odd symptoms. I found nothing, acknowledging this was a unique case. Clones were unstable, auto flowered after 3 weeks. Another odd thing to mention is the fact that this is supposed to be an indica dominant strain, this was a sativa dominant (Thai genetics) really thin leaves and airy buds. Though this was a unexpected event she made it to 17 weeks and a lot of plant training. If anything I learned from this experience, hopefully this doesn’t happen again soon! ~ First Impression ~ I loved the scent but the effect was lacking, quite a bit. Mind you this is what I experienced with the quick cure product. Harsh, and a weird aftertaste (only present in CBD) that is hard to explain. I will grow more cbd in the future to see if the results are consistent (unstable clones, leaf mutations, etc). I’m hoping for the best, I’m sure this was just one of those seeds that don’t make the cut genetically. ~ Cured Product ~ Still a bit underwhelming, I have to use about 3x my normal dose (.22g - .26g) to about .70g - 1.2g. I notice that my body will experience fatigue, heaviness, musculoskeletal release, and anti anxiety effects. This can’t be used as a daytime medication due to the lethargy like side effects. Works better as a blender, used a bit with Mazar for a pleasant relaxing experience. As this batch cured I noted that the harshness and and weird aftertaste was faintly noticeable, and the smell just gets better! ~ Pros ~ ◻️ Pleasant scent ◻️ Good yield ◻️ 1:1 ratio (7% thc/cbd) ◻️ Resistant to high nutrient levels ~ Cons ~ ◻️ Early flowering (without environmental stress) ◻️ Not suited for topping, fiming, manifolding techniques ◻️ Unstable clones, will flower in 3-4 weeks consistently ◻️ Deformed structure and leaves (11% of leaves had 3-4 fingers ◻️ Sativa dominant when advertised as an Indica ◻️ Small and weak compared to the other strains from GCS ◻️ Hermied (though not much just a few seeds) ~ Final thoughts ~ Well, this was a hard strain to manage but in the long run I think it turned out okay. 56g is not a bad harvest, and the product is pleasant when paired with other strains. I will grow this strain again so I can review a better specimen, I don't want to leave this strain at a low rating for long when the potential is there!

This stuff is fantastic! I love recharge and I will always have it as a part of any grow ❤️
I'm not sure if these nutes are what I should be using... I'm going to use Foxfarm next run to see if there is an improvement on my grows.
I love this stuff! Paired with Voodoo juice the pair make roots phat and dense! My only gripe with this product is that it rots so fast, I only get about 2-3 weeks of use before it goes bad... Still I love the results, best root builder out there!

As I said in the review this was a tough challenge. I'm hopeful that my second attempt at this strain will be successful. Growers Choice Seeds sent me a few more to give it another go. Alex from their customer service department was very helpful and asked to be kept updated on the progress of the CBD. I'm not sure if GCS will ever see this but here's a big thanks <3 Thank you guys (GD) for all the love and support! It was so awesome seeing the get well messages when I was well enough to sit down and check my computer. Seriously, I didn't expect all of that. I am better, still have a few open wound areas but the healing is happening! :) Much love you guys! Meus <3

I think that the beginning of a thrips infestation you can buy a spray for that in youre local gardenstore Just spray it on and 2 days later no more bugs and i still stays active in the plant about 3 weeks so if she has les than 3 weeks to go you cant use it cause it Will show in the taste of the buds afterwards

Plants look nice and healthy. Great genetics! Sorry things aren't going smoothly. You end up going through your stash quicker when your plants are having issues.😨😤😤😎 What about making individual cages for support? Instead of a giant SCRoG, you have 4-5 smaller ones. I wanted to do something similar on my first grow, but the tomato cages that I had were too big for my smart pot. I found out I didn't need them anyway. Stalks were plenty strong enough. One of the growers even has square fabric pots that have dowel stick holders sewn onto the outside. I haven't gotten any mold on my canvas pots, but the outsides start to get hard water deposits. You could use risers to get the pots off the saucers. That way the canvas isn't soaking up any water that is runoff. Do you reuse your fabric pots? I thought about it, but they are cheap so I buy new ones.

@iMeus, I was wondering about the fabric pots. I err on the side of caution, but I really couldn't think of a good reason not to reuse the pots.
iMeus
iMeuscommented6 years ago
@Quexos, I have a shop vac that I use after every watering to suck up all the extra fluids, works pretty good. I always buy new pots (if they're fabric). I'll do my best to keep this grow as healthy as I can :) Much love

It looks like you are back on your feet. I hope you are feeling better. Gratz on your harvest. Now you get to enjoy the fruits of your labors. Despite your difficulties, you did a fine job with this grow. You learned a ton, which will make your next grows that much easier. You'll see.

@Quexos, I'm feeling better! Don't have any pain anymore and now I can do my regular chores without feeling like I'm tearing my abdomen open lol. As you mentioned I learned a lot and I can't wait for the next project :D Thanks for the love Q!

Nice operation you have going! All of your plants look wonderful! I really hate what the plants look like when they've been mainlined. They look so sad right afterwards. You girls have really bounced back. Are you going to to top again to get more budsites, or are these going to be your mothers? Are you running both lights now? You have a lot of plants going. I was thinking you might be using both at this point. Finally, I'm really interested in your seeds. Ordering from Europe is sketchy at best. I've had one order seized and another searched. If I could find a good North American breeder, I'd sleep a lot better after placing a seed order. Have you thought of saucers of beer for your mite problem? Bulbi's idea is great. Those ladybugs will gobble up those little critters, but ladybugs have a mind of their own. They might decide to beat it down the line at some point. Beer attracts the bugs, and then they can't escape and drown. Diatamaceous earth works well on the soil surface as well. It acts like shards of glass and cuts the little insects to pieces. It is truly a gruesome insect death. I've also seen a few growers use colored sticky strips. They come in different colors to attract different types of pests.

iMeuscommented6 years ago
@Quexos, I'll hit up your four questions then I'l touch on the beer, lady bugs, etc. First: When it comes to topping I have to top my Purple Urkle #1 since I don't have any clones of here whatsoever. So I'll most likely top my others, still debating. Second: As for being mothers there is no doubt they're great mommies, but it's temporary, these will be flowered when I have established clones of all 5 mother plants.. I'm not gonna lie I'd love to keep these mothers but sadly I don't have the room :( Third: Lighting, dude this new light is so bright my other light looks like a night light lol, Also this new 3000w takes up most of the lighting real estate, no need for more light. If anything I need more co2 :) Four: Dude I wish I had my first SSH that I purchased from Growers Choice Seeds. In just three days of germ the SSH seeds had a taproot about 2 inches long! Talk about aggressive growers :) Still these genetics look good so far, I won't know for sure till the end of this grow. Other Ideas: First to mention I use the stick strips, though they've only caught 2 white flies lol. That Diatomaceous Earth looks good, I'll check that out man 👍 As for beer, well I'm not a beer drinker (love mead, wine, whiskey, etc no beer. I'll give it a shot though :) Well, that was a hell of a comment! Thank you very much for stopping by and shooting me your ideas 👊 Much love <3

Glad you are shuffling about! Bud video looked great! Those were some really nice colas that you grew. If the grow didn't turn out the way you planned, you could turn the buds into edibles, and tinctures. You had a large yield. Time to experiment!

This was a really nice yield! 54 grams is very respectable for 1 plant. The buds look excellent. They are very sugary. I would be really happy with this grow.

Your buds look amazing my friend and I believe congratulations are in order. You put in the work and time over the last few months and it has given you some beautiful results. I wish you all the best in your next grow and I'm so happy for you that this grow has turned out as beautiful as it has. Cheers my friend and happy smoking!
