Nice, robust strain. STUPIDLY BUSHY. From memory, I swear I had to defoliate every single day. At least in my memory. More serious: I removed soooo much plant material and she gained it back in no time, it was stupid! Very, VERY rigorous growth! And the resulting yield speaks for itself. Yes, will grow again!

Still the same with my last grow: I think the scheduled amounts of fertilizer are WAY out of whack and WAY to high. Approximately 50% ... 70% of the proposed volumes will be plenty enough. The bottles tend to get ridiculously dirty with time.
Love the bottles, love the concept! Will do full Canna ferti next time!
Reviews. Lamp
Overall I am fine with this LED, but: For the price, there are better options out there imho. NO graduation on the dimming potentionmeters (i.e. NO idea, how much % the light is dimmed to actually) NO values for PPFD/DLI in any datasheet anywhere. ONLY use this lamp when you own a reliable PPFD meter (e.g. Photone App + diffusor). Other than that I like the concept of the two channels in theory. Alas I still have to try out whether you can really "steer" the plant growth with that or not...
Would not recommend, will not use again. Way to much heat for not enough light imho.
Reviews. Tent
Love the concept and modularity!

Prior to cutting her down I always give 3 days of no water and darkness still in pot to suck out the rest of "life". During that time, colas bent downwards due to the weight on top plus reduced stiffness as it starts to withering. Right after cutdown she shows 1140 g of wet weight, which was WAY above my expectation. For drying, I do some light "wet trim" if you want to call it that - i.e. I remove all *fan* leaves with no sugar. The suggary leaves are allowed to stay and will be removed during dry trim. I.e. I tend to trim two times - combination of wet + dry trim. Works best for me. ___ Update after drying/curing: Drying/curing temperatures were not ideal (~ 20.5 °C @ 60%) so I certainly lost a few terps here and there. But holy moley: 132 gram of buds after dry trim! I knew I was in the ballpark of 100 grams, but that really surprised me. Unfortunately I could not hold on to every gram, as it is only legal to own 50g per person here in Germany. Oh well. No more 15 liter pots for me! :) Very potent, very much body high. Very good sleep aid! Like it!
