As a first grow, I didn't know how well this would go. Considering the various outside problems I had (cat eating the plant, extreme heat, small vertical space...), I think it went fairly well. No pests, mold or other diseases and it survived extremely hot and humid weather during the last weeks of flower. Unfortunately, couldn't get the weight when wet, only managed to weigh it once dried for 2 weeks. Overall, very happy with this strain.

Reviews. Nutrient
Used the General Hydroponics Advanced Nutrient System bundle. Even though this bundle was no longer sold by GH and the feeding charts were no longer available, I managed to get some decent result with my setup and the problems that came with it. I will probably try the Flora Trio only next time as the rest would only increase cost while I'm not sure of the actual benefits.

Reviews. Tent
Happy with the tent, it had decent amount of vents to allow for good airflow. Only complaint was that it would have been nice if it were a bit taller. However, if you train your plant properly and account for the growth spur of the early flower, you should have plenty of space to grow a decent size plant in a relatively small area.
Good first experience overall. I did not expect the growth spur of early flower to be this intense, I only had 1-2 inch of space above the light which was a bit concerning. Combined with the early heat waves we had and the longer flower period, I had lots of issues with temperature as I got closer to harvest.
Next time, I will start growing from August until end of December so that I don't have the same issues later in the grow. I will also try to do a better job at training the plant to keep it low and also probably cut a lot more branches to reduce the number of very small colas.
