Good job on your first grow. I've grown many of these, and your first looks better than mine.

I find this to work well as a day time smoke. Usually, even a small amount of cannabis will make me want to crawl into bed. The effects for this one isn't too strong, so I can use this and still go about my day. This may be due to the early harvest, reducing the amount of CBN in the dry bud and lower overall THCA levels.
I'm usually a fan of cannabis that lets me sit back and relax, but this isn't bad at all. It's always good to have a variety.

Reviews. Nutrient
I was given this by a friend for free. Once I run out, I will definitely be buying more of this product. I don't have anything to compare it to, as this is my first grow, but this is the only nutrient made for flowering that I used, and it seemed to really help but some mass on the buds in the last few weeks.
Once I noticed a possible Ca/Mg deficiency, this prevented any more leaves from getting those brown spots.
I would've preferred using something without nitrogen in it, so I can more easily fine tune my feeding schedule throughout the plant's life cycle. Works as advertised, but in the future, I think I may just make separate stock solutions of MgSO4 and Ca(OH)2, as I can experiment a bit with the Ca:Mg ratios.
Overall, it worked as intended, and I can't complain about that.
Reviews. Lamp
I'm very impressed with the final yield. As this was my first grow, and I made plenty of mistakes, I was hoping to get maybe ~1/2 Oz. The bud is fairly airy, but I imagine that due to harvesting early, as I really noticed a change in the bud density in the final couple weeks. I still have 4 more of these seeds, so my next grow, I'll be able to give her plenty of time to grow in those final weeks and see what difference that makes in the quality of the final product.
I really want to thank this community as a whole for helping me throughout this grow. I don't think I've ever come across an online community as positive and helpful as the people here 😊.
See everyone on my next grow!

As I mentioned above, I will need to harvest around the end of week 13 with just shy of 8 weeks of flowering. Just from seeing how the buds have developed so far, how much will the quality/quantity of the final product suffer from harvesting that early?

Interesting question bigmac! See I harvest mine when they are 100% cloudy and as few Ambers as that allows ... That's because peak thc potency is when trichomes are cloudy, Amber means they are oxidized/rusted so they contain CBD/CBN/CBxes etc ... In the end it's a matter of taste because those Ambers are still medical but different than the thc ... The plant's stopped growing, same for the flowers, you won't loose yield or quality harvesting them at any point in time at all, in my opinion. I can garantee you that with 40% of Amber trichomes you're gonna get absolutely floored when you smoke it . Hope this helps ! 🚀
