Haze x Northern Lights #5 x Skunk This is my 2nd round with Early Vixen, and I'm pleased to say that I'm happy with the results. Responds well to LST and Main-Lining. Little to no maintenance required. Have only grown in a DWC setup so can't speak for soil/soilless. Also very easy to clone. Robust, Citrus-Skunky smell during Flower. Similar taste, some Pine and Earthy tones. Effects are of the Medicinal calibre - onset is uplifting, followed by hazy head space, ending with full body relaxation. Unfortunately, CKS has discontinued this strain, so I'm looking forward to trying their Crowne Royale or Purple Kush down the road.

This would be my 5th grow with these nutes, and results have been excellent every single time. Unfortunately, I just found this out: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-04-17/scotts-miracle-gro-buys-sunlight-to-double-cannabis-grower-sales You can come to your own conclusions, but I won't be buying any more GH products once I finish this batch. It was good while it lasted!
An absolute must if growing Hydroponically. Will forever be a staple in my growing arsenal.

Aside from some light burn on the top colas, I'm happy overall, but I may have harvested a couple days too early. Upon further inspection, I'm seeing about 60% cloudy, 30% clear, and 10% amber. Will strive to be more patient on my next run :) Something worth noting about light distance to canopy - If your colas are within 12" of this light, or any high powered light, you will notice that your spear headed colas will start forming into fists, with perpetual white hairs. Can be confusing when it comes time to harvest, as you're patiently waiting for white hairs to stop producing. In this situation, keep your eyes on the trichs! Will update once I'm done trimming. Big Thanks to those who've been following along, and to the GrowDiaries Community for being so welcoming and helpful. This will be the first of many grows on this platform. I'm here for good! **UPDATE** Total harvest weight is 119 grams :D Very pleased with the outcome. Will need to practice a bit more patience on my next run so I can pinpoint the perfect moment to harvest. I also decided to flush for a full week since I pushed nutes to full strength in the last 3 weeks. Hang dry in the tent, 2/3 internal fans off, intake/exhaust running at half speed, managed to maintain a temp of 65-70 and 50-40%RH :) trim after 8 days (small branches and buds snapped off) curing in a small bucket with 58% Boveda, burping daily. Hoping to be ready for smoke by 420

@Calveeno, There was a large amount of root growth between week 2 and 3. That's always a good sign 😎
Calveeno
Calveenocommented6 years ago
@HighTV, you said it, Bud! Such is Life. And by the looks of it, I'm hoping that's the case. Initial thoughts were, "Damn. This is waay too much stress early on. Hoping it doesn't go herm on me.." Guess we'll have to wait and see 😄

I love that moment the root breaks through the bottom of the net pot. Best feeling in hydro 😋

@bobtheblob, She stretched a hell of a lot more in flower than I was expecting. Thank you! I'm a proud parent to say the least 😁 She smells very sweet now!

Thanks for the link! I wonder if I had similar bacterial stuff or just screwed the solution/conditions when I had roots dying and turning brown. Cool little weights you have btw! :-)

@bobtheblob, You're welcome! It's pretty common in DWC environments, and from what I've read, it has to do with light leaks, res temps being too high (+72F), and insufficient Dissolved Oxygen. Call me crazy, but I've also wondered about my nutes being contaminated, and poor water source. Thanks! They're called Calibration Weights, for my digital scale, and I picked em up from Amazon as a lightning deal :) https://www.amazon.ca/17Pcs-10mg-100g-Precision-Calibration-Weight/dp/B07GGZSKQ7/ref=lp_11853168011_1_2_sspa?s=industrial&ie=UTF8&qid=1550372950&sr=1-2-spons&psc=1
