Nothing but good things to say about this strain. It produced the largest yield (still trimming and cleaning but I will have the wet weight soon) and although I experienced my first signs of bid rot with her, I found it quickly and only lost about 20 g of wet bud. Tjoswza was my fault as my location is prime real estate for bud rot and as a new grower I had never grown such large dense buds prior to this strain. As of 1/27/20 I've only sampled the uncured early cuts of this strain but she's already super potent and has one of the best flavors ever. I can say that as of now her scent is floral with skunky and cheesy being the smell thats taking over the dry area. Cant wait for the final results and I will post an update as soon as she is cured. Also add 2 weeks to her flower time because we didn't log it until the flowers were showing rather than when we switched the lights.

Nutrients
Perfect for veg phase when those cal mag deficiency issues arrive. Fixed it instantly and never had to worry
Used before and didn't love the results. Still had to add cal-mag bug it was often too much nitrogen when I'd add to my feeds and so I stopped after a few weeks and began all organic and it was a better fit
Not sure if it helped or not but it didn't hurt. I only used for transplant because it wasn't organic.
This is the nutrients I've only used from light switch on and they were possibly the reason my plants are so oily and sweet smelling. I'm ordering more for next grow season.

I highly recommend this strain for anyone who is in a less than humid environment. She can be grown indoors in high humidity but twords the end we suggest lots of air flow and constant defoliation to keep her rot free. The density and size of these buds are by far my best yet. She was a joy to grow and I feel extremely proud of myself . 2/12 Update!! So after only about 10 days in their jars, this girl smells AMAZING and looks beautiful. Her scent is a strong skunk followed by a never ending cheese that follows you for a while. Bag appeal will be perfect because she's already a beautiful glittery gold now and if you dare to take some along be sure to wrap her well as she will give herself away every time. Perfect for day smoke because starts me off talking but let's me sleep 6 hours later. Oh yea, and since she releases our anxiety so well she does give some hunger. For me that's a gift and I'll keep it. Grow this and you will love it too!! Wish I had heard of it b4.

How can 1 add pictures?? My plant is showing rust colored spots in between veins on older leaves. Her run off and water PH are always similar at 6.2 in her cocoa core/pete/perlite/casting medium. I just gave her a small taste of Epsom salts but need to fix b4 it gets worse

Normally i would say its a calcium def. caused by PH fluctuations... or nutrients that are not cooperating with the coco.look pls for the following syptoms Dead spots Crinkling Spotting / Mottling Small brown spots Stunted growth Small or distorted new leaves Curled tips Leaf die-off Affected leaves may appear green besides the spots............... I would go with acalmag product always with the feedings... and as the first step with the next watering.

Yaaay , she recoverd wonderful.Looking more like herself as you say....So dont give up... keep the track.

@Mrs_Larimar, well she will get cal-mag with every feeding plus some nitro for her upcoming stretch. Didn't want to send her into flower too soon but shes shooting new growth everywhere so I'm fairly confident in her strength. I do however want to finish her while she is well and not too space consuming. Thanks again for all of your advice and help. I am very new and the internet has far too many unreliable sources so I only become more confused when I attempt to research. But yes your correct, she wasn't pretty and was surely stunted for a minute but it is quite obvious she is back to health as she's grown 4 inches in less than 3 days. Tons of new darker growth and her fan leaves are getting big again. I love these plants and growing has been as therapeutic as the medication I produce. Cannabis saved my 3 yr old daughter from cancer after chemo failed and no other options were available. 3 yrs cancer free and 0 medication. CANNABIS KILLS CANCER!!

@MomnPoppaSeed, i absolutly agree. but as i said ( a few times^^) its way better to have a defiency.... it does not look so good but the plant has no dmage taken

@Mrs_Larimar, thanks I'm very pleased with her recovery. As a mom I tend to take it hard when my babies aren't thriving. But thank you so much for your help. Hopefully she will continue to recover. We're planning on switching her lights this week so hopefully she'll continue to thrive. I'll be sure and give nitrogen with the cal-mag supplement because she's going to need it and apparently she loves the cal-mag anyways. Shes the 1st plant I've ever done the small daily supplement feeds rather than a weekly soak as needed. Apparently it didn't hurt so now I have experienced based knowledge which is as helpful as experience based advice. Fingers crossed for a great yield with tons of thrichomes :)

you can go higher in p+k. and if the discoloration is only the topfanleaves its a lightburn but go higher with pk and get a booster from next week on

@Mrs_Larimar,omg!! I ordered a bloom booster last week and because of the holidays (or whatever) it will be here Friday!! Could not come at a better time lol so anyway I'll give her a little tea I've been brewing in the morning that should keep her fed until the booster comes in. My space is beginning to smell like some just hit the bong in it every time I walk in the room and the autos I planned to harvest while I wait for these to finish, just started flowing which will make her a 14 week auto at best. It's crazy how my photo plants are going so quickly and my auto is gonna be slooooooow.. gotta love mother nature and her tricks.. Happy holidays to you and your family!!

@MomnPoppaSeed,i agree with the seedbank with 9 weeks...thre is no shortcut.. you have to participate in newbie of the month or growero month if you are ready... and lets go on per PM .. to talk
MomnPoppaSeed
MomnPoppaSeed
@Mrs_Larimar, I'm the same way when I cut my hair lol but usually after I get accustomed to the new look it's all good... lol.... But seriously though, as soon as I was done with the removal I could see the light shining through down to sites that would have been completely shaded had I not cleaned them up. It's just because sometimes we work hard to help her to grow so many big beautiful healthy leaves during veg only to turn around and cut them off once the flowers come in but every plant has its purpose and hers is to make flowers and that's why I do it. I'm kinda amazed because shes actually 2 weeks behind my banana and shes supposed to have 1 more week of flower as well but she's at least a week ahead in flower. I just hope that means she'll be done earlier than expected because she is even faster than the autos I popped while fighting that calcium deficiency. The seed bank said that I should expect her to be in flower for about 9 weeks but she went in really quickly. Banana said 8 weeks and shes not nearly as mature as GL for their ages. Anyway, shes stopped begging for supplements which makes me and my bank account very happy lol. Take care and thanks for the advice. You rock!!

@Mrs_Larimar, not in flower but we just switched lights 2 days ago. When I seen her color was back and felt the strength in her limbs, I knew that it was probably a good time to send her in. So now comes the fun part. I'll be posting often so be looking for me lol.

Mrs_Larimarweek 7
Give her silica to strengthen the leaves.and Branches, and shes still low in nitrogen.... but its way better to low in nitrogen than to high.So everything is fine and you can fix all problems bfore going into flower
Mrs_Larimar
Mrs_Larimar
@MomnPoppaSeed, normally you can buy it in a drugstore as powder. There are products you can buy as liqiuid like silica blast / snowstorm... iam using the powder from the drugstore. but i think its better the liquid, because the chemical part are not so big.... just google it................. and its like i said..... its way better to go with alower dosage of nitrogen than to much......i just would wait....it can take 4 days until you see anything. And no i wont do a multi fertiliser... just look wait and maybe get a single organic fertiliser for vegetation....... if she looks green again switch to flower and using the multi fertiliser or anything you want... she was growing very vigor, thats why she had abig need for nitrogen. and to get it she cannibalised herself..... its not nice but no problem at all.......... ive just seen that yu got acalmag product,,, tht contains nitrogen too... you can start with that
MomnPoppaSeed
MomnPoppaSeed
@Mrs_Larimar, thanks, I just gave her tea that's got some of the funky fish fertilizer in it which is basically organic nitrogen. Would that be enough or should I add something a little more potent? And I have to ask, what is Silica?? I will go look it up in a bit but I'm not sure itll be something that I can buy locally (very small town problem lol) but Amazon is always an option. Thanks again, I do notice her limbs are strengthening up a bit compared to yesterday and always the pessimist, my husband's response was, "they dont seem flimsy to me" which means they are better today as he never felt them yesterday at all to compare haha. Thanks again. I'm debating between adding more fish funk today, adding fox farm multi nute, or just waiting to find out if the tea had enough nitrogen in it. What would you suggest??
Mrs_Larimar
Mrs_Larimarweek 16
She looks alittle like a Plucked chicken..... ( sorry for that comparison ) . But veery delicious too. It was the best way to save her. You can feed molasses too with your waterings. It feeds the Microbacteria, that help the plant to devour the nutrients
MomnPoppaSeed
MomnPoppaSeed
@Mrs_Larimar, hahaha, you're so right. I hated doing it to her and my whole dang grow but humidity dropped. As for blackstrap, I'll probably give her a little because I'm coming off bud candy and casting tea now. Of course my ever dismissive/skeptical husband feels its useless but his method is very minimal attention and nutrition. Just water and set timer lol. I'd never tell him this but his methods were producing small sickly plants. As soon as I've taken over the handling we are all big green and happy. So me using molasses will be our little secret ;)

@Mrs_Larimar, thanks doll, I cant take any credit on these genetics. I think Mr. Bergman had the right idea with this strain. Once I got those nutrients right, she just took over and is the absolute most beautiful plant I've ever put my hands on. That being said, I'm one day from being without smoke. Once my edibles are done I'll be taking small bits to dry early (rather than spending $$$ on a lower quality bud which is all we can get here in this area). Any advice on "multi" chop because this will be my first.

And here we are... she was super fast in showing the Flowers....I hope your Growspace is big enough for her
MomnPoppaSeed
MomnPoppaSeed
@Mrs_Larimar, me too but the good thing about it is that as long as shes not over 9 ft we are okay because I can move them anywhere in my poolhouse if need be. I have it all blacked out with cardboard and mylar. I had no idea they'd go in so quickly. My banana is about 6 days behind her.
Mrs_Larimar
Mrs_Larimarweek 8
think about giving her a "corsage" to help her carry the flowers. she has alot of branches and some are looking very thin. Look at B4RNS Diarie he gives his girls nice corsages made from sticks and lines.....
MomnPoppaSeed
MomnPoppaSeed
@Mrs_Larimar, I will definitely be looking into making some because I do want her to be strong enough. I'm so accustomed to autoflower strains that I dont know what to expect but I will say that my banana kush has less branches but they're twice the size. I still have not switched the lights so she does have time but hopefully the "flower room " will be set up this weekend so itll probably be this coming week when we drop her. I will probably PM next time because I'm sure its easier anyway

MomnPoppaSeed
MomnPoppaSeed
@Mrs_Larimar, thanks, I wasn't sure because of spots but the yellowing did resemble what I've seen online as calcium. Of course I worry about lockouts so I hate just adding a "multi" nute

@MomnPoppaSeed, I find that photos are indeed easier to work with, having the choice to decide when the plant enters it's flowering cycle gives a bigger room for correcting deficiencies and excesses before switching. Lol that's an image that describes well what we do x)! Happy growing!
MomnPoppaSeed
MomnPoppaSeed
@GrowAseed, thanks I just in awe with how easily photo period strains can bounce back to health after a deficiency. This girl was easy to train but is still a glutton on nutes (I told my husband how it feels like I'm a drug dealer giving her a "taste" when she's feeling bad lol..This is my first photo crop so I am learning so much. Cant wait to see her finish because she's already beginning to smell floral

Thanks for the update. Looking delicious. Nice cleanup of fan leaves. I'll be doing that throughout my flowering - bud rot is scary.
MomnPoppaSeed
MomnPoppaSeed
@dianne, smart lady!! I absolutely hated it but I really think it was necessary. Just remember to keep the air flowing all into her canopy. It really says a lot about the density of this strain. I've grown in the same area for a year now and none of my other plants were touched. Also, its good to defoliate often so that we can monitor them on a closer more regular basis. Finding mine early made a big difference in how much I lost.

@CrankledLarkus, I had forgotten just how much I like that scent too. We used to tell granny she was smelling a skunk when me and the cousins uses to spark it up behind her house lol But yes she has stacked up nicely and now that my stash has dwindled I'm waiting for her to finish.
