Growing it
Easy
Resistance
Strong
This strain appears to stay small but if you spread her out she will develop some fat buds! It appears to be resistant to fungus gnats once she enters flower as there was never any gnat movement on agitation of the soil when there was an issue on other younger plants. The terpenes themselves also appeared to have killed a couple of gnats when they decided to investigate her flowers. Very easy to grow, follow your specific grows instructions and it will be a blast. All I had to do was water when dry (pH properly) and I top dressed on day 35. My only complaint is how small she stayed, growing more of them in smaller pots will counter this.

What an awesome experience for my fist grow! I am super happy with making it to harvest! I do wish that she would have gotten a little bigger but it looks like that's a genetic thing for this strain. The smells coming out of the drying room are just next level! I cannot wait to get into her! The whole plant including stems and leaves is 119 grams. Everything is going to be updated after she is dried and trimmed, hopefully in around 10 days but things don't always go how we would like. Had a massive change in the weather which reduced the dry rooms RH to 25%-30% from my original 45% which I was worried was too low.. So on the 4th day in an inexperienced panic I decided to trim and jar, at this stage I have 24gm of product. For a full explanation of the grow check out week 12. I'm a little disappointed in the weight but where she lacks in yeild she gives back in potency. I sampled the dryest of my small dense nugs after trimming and even though I was already high I could feel the added effect very soon after smoking some. I decided to sample a little more the morning after and this not a good choice of wake and bake strain if you need to be productive afterwards. I'm a seasoned smoker and after 2 hoots I could have easily gone back to sleep, something that hasn't happened in years. The tastes are just amazing, it's so sweet and very herby/spicy. I totally get why it's called Sweet Afghani Delicious, it's sweet, it has that spice factor that I can imagine Middle Eastern food has (I'm new to Afghani weed :P) and boy is it delicious! I have decided to start including this herb in our line-up after only 3 days of proper curing due to its anti nausea effect for my girlfriend, also because of its awesome effects for myself. I love the taste from these buds and I have only been having the small buds so far! Hopefully the 4 big ones will last the full curing time and I'll post more pictures then. I would have probably ended up with closer to 21.5 grams of dried bud if I hadn't smoked any ๐Ÿคช There's also plenty of unweighted trim which will be saved up and then used for butter. I am also keeping the stems for tea and the roots for future experimenting with ginger beer :D I would love to grow this genetic again but I will not be picking up the autoflower variety again due to the genetics small size but I will definitely be picking up their SAD S1 variety when I'm growing photoperiods. I'm pretty sure this strain would do fantastic in a PC Case stealth grow, or grow in another very small area. The smoke from this herb is lovely! Tastes so sweet and full of spices. Has a moderate anti nausea effect but will make your eyes dry and sore even if you are a seasoned smoker. Great for night time, locks you in the couch until you're ready for bed. Thanks to everyone for following along! Keep an eye out for all my future grows!! Peace!

Grow Questions

Cheezystarted grow question 5 years ago
My plant started to yellow due to alkaline soil, next time I watered it was done at 6.5ph. Is there anything else I can do to adjust the pH of the medium? Also why is it growing toward the fan and but it's leaves bending backwards?
Solved
Leaves. Too many

@Cheeezy Hi mate she looks good Dont worry about it bending it's normal However i would try to lower that ph even further to about 6.2-6.5 You can use liquid sulphur sparingly to lower the ph Just add some to some water and water in But use sparingly my friend Hope This helps ๐Ÿ™

I've turned up the QB watts to 180 and now my temperature is at 25.9 and humidity at 37%. I don't want to use my humidifier because it's hard to keep it under 60% I've also read lower humidity is okay and works better with higher temps. I guess the question is Watts up or down?

Hey Cheezy if you turn the light up and the heat increases it will naturally drop your humidity a little lower. Since it is pretty low now you dont want it to go down any. 180 watts should be plenty for the plant the size it is now. I would just keep at it and see how well she grows over the next week or so before turning it up. She looks healthy and happy for now. You will definitely want to crank it up for flower. You can try to put a tray of water in your tent and it should bring your humidity up a little. Hope this helps. Good luck with her

Any guess on how much longer until harvest? I'm aiming for 20% amber or more for the couch lock but I don't want to be waiting for trichomes that don't actually turn. Since this is an indica I'm sure I should see a transition from to amber it's just hard to tell if cloud or clear

Those girls look very frosty! Your getting very close. Keep checking them every 3 days. I use a 40 x led lighted jewelers loupe(Amazon.com) to check mine. A coin shop may have something similar. Using a cell phone then enlarging the photo doesn't always give the true coloration. Most guys take them with 5% to 30% amber trichomes. I personally take my Indica's just a bit more than 5% amber it gives me the best of both worlds a bit of head high to start then mellows out into a nice couch lock for the last 1.5 hours. Don't forget the trichomes keep ripening even after you chop them down.๐Ÿ‘

:) "Yay, LST!" I second that! Your grow is looking nice and green. How's she growing after the Gaia Green feed? :)
Solarcradle
Solarcradlecommented5 years ago
@Cheezy, Yes, I have! MrCanuck is the reason I started my first grows using Gaia Green. :D I like the idea of organic growth and less feeding times/maintenance via using time release nutrients. I must have watched all of his videos. Gaia Green should forward him some royalties/freebies. :D Maybe they have.
Cheezy
Cheezycommented5 years ago
@Solarcradle, thanks heaps! I'm always keen for more information and advice. I will definately keep this in mind :) Have you seen Mr Canucks Grow on YouTube? He uses Gaia Green in coco and his videos have such a high level of quality. He's pretty much where I've gotten all of my grow info from :D
Solarcradle
Solarcradlecommented5 years ago
@Cheezy, I'm new to this. Though, through my readings and my novice experiences, you are correct. Also, PH issues, either too high or too low, can cause mild to moderate signs that appear like nutrient overload/deficiencies. Imbalances in PH of the water can cause nutrient lockout/uptake issues in obtaining nutrients. In my reading, it is good to keep the water PH within a range of about no more than 0.5 less than the runoff. So, if a medium runoff is around PH 7.1 after a feeding, recommendations are to water with a PH of about 6.6 or so. I stick with 6.5 and have had no issue with my first grow strain. However, a coco medium mixed with Gaia Green slow release nutrients become used up by the plant and runoff, and the soil starts turning more acidic as it gets closer to her next feeding time. It seems like a great time to lower her PH. so she can take up other nutrients that are easier taken up in lower PH ranges. This is stuff I have read online and it seems to make sense with a Gaia Green grow medium :) Take what I say lightly. I'm a armchair google search grower. lol

@BucketBrother, LST has been super effective, highly recommended with autos! When I can afford to add to my setup I want to get a mother started so I can play with training her clones. There's so much to experiment with! Making a manifold would be awesome!

It's day 26 and I made a bit of a mistake this morning, while tying down the new growth I cleanly ripped off a branch.. I quickly treated the severed limb like a clone and cleaned up the base, halved the leaves and dipped the base in honey (growth hormone substitute). She's now under a humidity dome but I only had a small pot available, maybe I should transfer her to a solo cup in a few days. My main concern is if I stressed the now mother plant too much as she is already on a tight time schedule. Also I ripped off what was going to be a prime bud site so I'm very sad about that, let's hope the hormones get redistributed nicely and I get many more in its place.

@HolySmoke, I just compared some NPKs and mineralised phosphate is bat guano for sure :D Happy growing!
Cheezy
Cheezycommented5 years ago
@HolySmoke, I don't use it but I was looking to pick some up. Both stores that I visited didn't have any bags of bat guano like what we have seen in Mr Canucks Grow. I did a Google of Gaia Green bat guano and it came up with mineralised phosphate, which is fossilized bat guano. I would assume this is the same thing but I'll do more research. Next time I'm in the store I will ask to see if it's just repackaging.
