This grow went fairly smooth. Ended up getting the most dense buds I’ve ever gotten. I’m going try the same thing next grow with maybe a little tweaking. I got 43.32g from the natural plant and 55.60 from the one I low stress trained. Doesn’t look like much but good firm buds! I was happy with this strain. It smells great. I may have dried a little longer than I wanted due to my lack of free time.
@DoctorAutoflower, wym I’m growing this now and my first time growing autos my last crop came out looking like shabby home grown how do I get them tight dense pretty buds
1. Stop wasting money on "boosters" and just give your plants a complete feed according to their growth stage.
2. Feed them till harvest. Each of your grows are dealing with necrosis due to lack of nutrients by day 70.
3. Let your dang plants mature to complete ripeness or at least close enough. Amber trichomes on the buds, followed by red completely receded stigmas. Good luck.

@DoctorAutoflower, Thanks for your feedback. I’m new at this and will take any constructive criticism.
1. I was trying the booster because my buds have been average but not as full and dense as I want. The incredible bulk made a difference in this grow but also it was a different stain so idk…all variables weren’t the same.
2. I try to top dress every three weeks (sometimes life gets in the way) up until a couple weeks from harvest which is a guesstimate for me since I’ve only done three grows with three different strains. Since the amendments are slow release I don’t amend any closer than that to harvest. You’re right, they do decline the further I get into flower. I was hoping the extra kick of K from the booster would help but it didn’t. I’ve tried compost teas, watering with molasses but it still seems to happen. This next go around I’m going to try implementing Epsom salts and gypsum. Our home has a water softener so I’m thinking lack of magnesium and calcium may be part of my problem?
3.I check trichomes and harvest when they are cloudy with a little amber. I don’t want to go any further than that. I know some like more amber than that but I don’t. I was really happy with the quality of the buds on these plants but the quantity from two plants was lower than my other single ones.
