Happiness is planting the seeds. hps 250w black box silver 60x90x180 extractor 220 m3/h during daycycle vertical fan 24/24 h "all-mix" & 1 glass of "light-mix" around the seedling Nutrients: Fish-mix(veg) & Bio-Grow(flo) / Bio-Bloom / Top-Max 2nd and prolly last try with this strain, as i had some extra seeds, because disappointed by it's taste on first harvest (tend to be throat irritating and make cough) This time i'll use "top-max" from "biobizz" and will see if it impact buds density and taste noticeably It's sort of an interesting comparative test grow with the previous one without "top-max" even if i remain sceptical it will remove the throat irritating aspect i experienced on first grow & smoke, time and drying/curing will tell.

Watering volume per plant: approx 1L every 3/4 days (depending soil appearance and pot weights) Watering with PHed water once middle of the week and switching from "Fish Mix" to "Bio-Grow" The plants wear a beautiful & healthy green, and there's no reason to add too much veg (or flo) nutrient this week. Vigorous stretch & flowers near the nodes are starting to show since the end of last week, the plants start to smell a very little when close enough. Vertical fan cause a very few neglectable wind burn along it's rotation axis middle. (box diagonal from the fan sort off)

Watering volume per plant: 1l every 2/3days First grow using Top-Max, does it's job real well, dense and fat colas While it has less branch the taller pheno topped mid flo has clearly more dense flowers. Did one pre-harvest on some lower branchs end of week 10 and first days of weeks 11 as my stock were running low. Early taste is really encouraging regarding my previous experience with this strain. Had a few parasites on some leaves along flowering, i let them live along and just gonna use Leaf-Coat twice with the next grow to clean the box. Two plants slighty suffered from heat stress resulting in some unwanted stretch, white coloration and poor trichrome density last 3 4 top's cm.

Second grow with this strain. Smaller buds were suprisingly really smooth to smoke after 7 days drying, with curing the early fruity tone clearly turn to strong citrus. Once cured: - 6 pheno are like citrus, sweet, flowery - 1 pheno is more like: citrus, sweet, sour With 9 week of flowering that's typically your late afternoon, evening, night-time strain. With this one you'll easily sit and stare at whatever or just close your eyes and relax. Also really helpful to fall asleep without noticing it while feeling very relax. All in all, beautiful growth, fast to trim (but not much trim material to work with for hash or else), very nice high nice taste once cured.

Smaller buds: 7 day drying Main colas: 7-10 days drying Curing: 15days & well citrus is strong with that one Second grow with this strain is a success, the use of "Top-Max" did a lot, first time i got that dense buds with my 250 W. All in all, beautiful growth, fast to trim (but not much trim material to work with for hash or else), very nice high nice taste once cured.

@ArucambaAutoflowers297, check my northern light if you want to see the diff between hybrid/indica and veg time, they had 3 week and they gonna be 10 15cm smaller than the hydrid.

@HerbalEdu,thanks for the info bro! Ill be growing my first photos soon when i dont have to travel anymore. This info goes in the book ✌️🌱

HerbalEducommented6 years ago
@ArucambaAutoflowers297, hey, yup that's what annoyin' with SOG from seeds, it's harder to give the right amount of veg depending stretch. indica i usually go 3/4 week, hybrid 1/2 week, sativa 1 week or 12/12 with SOG is slighty easier using clone, because roots formation chock and afterward growth boost

@Budzablazin, they grow really nicely, no doubt, a bit worried here about heavy coughing i had with this strain, but well curing will tell if my throat handle it better than 2 month ago

She may be smaller due to genetics, but shes on the side of the light, getting less light than the others. You could try swapping her spot with some big plant in the middle to even her out?

BeefWellingtonscommented6 years ago
@HerbalEdu, ha haa, awesome!!
HerbalEdu
HerbalEducommented6 years ago
@BeefWellingtons, that moment when … ahem … and finally just added some book under the plant, same height, problem solved 😁
HerbalEdu
HerbalEducommented6 years ago
@BeefWellingtons, Already got taller plants at the exact same spot, so that's clearly the phenotype. I may eventually move her, later in flowering, but truth is from my experience it doesn't impact that much, light distribution is pretty homogeneous when the box is closed during stretch. I made such moving test with a previous grow, and that's really neglectable imho as my box is pretty small (0.5 m²). It could also happen she experience a growth boost delayed with the other, already experienced that's once also, a smaller plant growing/stretching on the late and recovering a little it's height's diff middle of flowering. While blooming if the heights diff is too much with others plants, then i'll prolly move her.

Hey vvince, good to see you liked this strain. I am growing the auto version of this on my balcony (I got 3 of them as a freebie from the growshop) I am looking for relaxing strains, glad to see this will fit my needs :)
HerbalEdu
HerbalEducommented6 years ago
@@@Lucimago, depend how much you smoke on a regular basis and reach the point where neuro-transmetor start to close, but more as in the review, it tend to make you stay blank and stare at whatever for some while ; ) prolly good enough to make a walk with the dog, and watch a tree 5 minute while the dog want to continue moving after pee or poo xD
