Harvested five days ago, plants dried quickly and already in jars. I’m quite happy with my first sample just a few minutes ago!
The buds on these plants were far more airy than my first grow (Wedding Cake Autos), and the stalks were far thinner. How much of the difference was due to genetics vs growing methods?
Lessons learned:
First and foremost pay attention to light distance and intensity. These gals stretched quickly at the start of flowering and, despite the scrog net, grew too close to the light (where I had intensity set stupidly a couple of clicks too high). One plant powered through it while the other stressed out. The damaged plant only yielded a little over two ounces while her sister totaled nearly four.
Though I did experience nutrient challenges during the grow I enjoyed growing in soil far more than with liquid nutrients. I plan to stick with this method for my next grow, which I’m already looking forward to!
