I really like this strain. I feel like a lot of the lack in yield was my fault -- and also the seed bank. I ordered autos, but got photos. I would have approached growing entirely different -- nutrient levels and such. Anyway, this plant produced pretty well considering the lack of proper care. The buds are covered in trichomes, smell amazing, and leave me with a ton of energy and a hell of a high. Really enjoy this strain. Highly recommended!
Not impressed. My first grow with GH had massive yield. Since I switched to Advanced, I haven’t come close. Once I run out, I’ll be going back to General Hydroponics. AN Is just hype -- sorry guys.
Cut this girl down finally. Not sure what happened with this bag of seeds. I ordered autos but they all acted more like photos. Perhaps if I had grown them as photos the entire lifespan I might have increased the yield. Nevertheless, it’s kmpressive how dense this strain is. While I didn’t get massive, thick buds, everything that is on the plant is smokeable and dense. I have grown this strain before and I do not expect much loss of size after drying. So whole most buds are popcorn buds, they should maintain their approximate size when dried due to the density of the nugs. I’m happy just to have this plant cut down because I’ll be putting 4 more in it’s place. I’m about to do some experiments and have been waiting for this plant to finish.
DRIED UPDATE: Smoked a bit of her...she's got a ton of flavor and is very dense. A small lower popcorn bud lasted longer than most of my bowls..just wouldn't stop. Will do well to hold me over til next harvest... Really happy with her flavor, but know I can get a better yield next time. I'll order the photos again -- and will give her nutrients accordingly. Can't complain, only improve. I'm Six Sigma Black Belt, constantly improving my bud growing. 0
@DailyBread, dude! That nugsmasher is crazy! Thanks for sharing that, I’ve never heard of it before. Seems super convenient for making oils and wax and stuff. I prefer to smoke, but have tried shatter a few times. That stuff is intense.
@@Chi_Town_White_Boy, I dont even trim it. Straight to the smasher, and icewater hash. Look up subcools video on youtube for the hash. You can get the bags off any hydro store for 20 bucks. Run all trim, and stems through the bags. The shit you get from the 120 run is dabbale. I use the rest for cooking, or putting in coffe, or tea for work
@@Chi_Town_White_Boy, nugsmasher is what I have. You can use a curling iron, or tshirt press. I do 220 temp if you want shatter for 3 minutes. I do not smoke flower only that rosin. Fast bugs west coast og makes the best tasting. You from chi? Aroura ? St charles?
wwwaaaw. what do u add to the water ? i use RO and only drop hydronutes in it (A+b) basic nutes (plagron) how much ppm do u do from week to week ? or do u just ad 1ml/l
@Reaper, hey there! You don’t seem to be struggling...you have some badass diaries! And yes, for my autos I use way less than recommended. I maintain ratios for the most part, but my focus is on the PPM each week. For autos it seems like I can only go to 600ppm max. Anything over that seems to lead to too much nitrogen (green, shiny leaves). So I’ve been playing lately with reducing my Bloom Part A to reduce nitrogen. This 600ppm seems to be the ceiling for me, though 550ppm seems to be a good spot to avoid burn or over-nutrients.
Only way I’ve seen people go higher than 600ppm seems to be when they add CO2.
When I do nutrients, I tend to know what I’m looking for. For 550-600ppm using the Advanced Nutrient lineup, it’s about 20ml per 3 gallons of A&B, with 10ml per 3 gallons of everything else. That’s much less than recommended, but I’m maintaining the recommended ratios still.
Hope that answers your questions! 👊🏻
@Chaos85, just revisiting your comment... thanks for the idea! i think I will definitely pull a clone off this and then move her into 12/12. We'll see how that goes! I've never cloned before but will be fun to try! 🙏
@Chaos85, great point! I’m a little curious how this one is gonna grow. If it’s not flowering by week 7 I’m going to induce it on this one. I should definitely grab a clone if it turns out the same! Awesome idea!!
@Potagonia, I've had some weird experiences with autos....cold seems to stretch out their veg period for some plants.
This strain in particular is one of my favorite. Good luck with the grow! I'll keep my eyes on it! One of my best strains I've grown to date! 👊
@Auto_GrowZ, absolutely. PH perfect is bullshit, honestly. I pH my reservoirs twice a day, otherwise they don’t do that well. I’m in the process of switching back to GH. Not a huge fan of AN, but I have to finish what I have still.
