I've used Fox Farm, the big three, since my first grow. This time I added the other supplements with Beastie Bloomz and Cha Ching. The difference was amazing. I'm giving Fox Farm all the credit. A shout out to there Ocean Forest Soil as well. It's always done great by me.
I got this late in the grow and didn't really use enough of this to have an opinion. I didn't want to lower the rating so I gave it a 5 on faith. I will be using it the next grow.
This was my 7th grow but my first with GrowDiaries. I now consider GD to be the best tool in my grow kit. The growers are a wealth of information and they gave me the confidence to trust my instincts and my plant to tell me the right thing to do. It also shows me how much there is to learn and how much more I could be getting out of my plants. This was the first grow that I feel I got the most out of the Fox Farm nutes. Plus, it made it a lot more fun. πππ
The grow was, amazingly, issue free. The grow took longer than I expected at 12 full weeks. In fact, due to a family emergency I had to harvest her a few days before I thought she was fully ready. I'll come back in a week or so to fill in the particulars. (At least I assume I can come back and edit this to add weight, taste etc.)

Well she's dried and in her curing jar. If you add back in the test buds she came to about 2.5 ounces which seems to be about average for this strain. The buzz is strong but not overwhelming. It's relaxing, which is what I was hoping for. I'm very happy with how the grow went - kudos and a big thanks to GD and all the great growers. Can't wait to start my next diary as soon as I get off my lazy butt and get the grow tent ready. πππ
Thinking about all my virtual friends during this trying time. Stay safe.
The humidity bags change the way my weed tastes I quit using them and Cree the old fashion way. Lots of burps Very nice if I was a judge this would be up there. Very nice π
Nice journal mrchicks. I look forward to seeing your final results. I was curious, since you have a long history of using the FF trio, what type of differences did you notice with this grow by introducing items from FF extended line? How did you decide to use the ones the ones you did and not others? I am using FF soils and nute trio for my first grow and I'm trying to better understand their extended product line and what are the real word advantages to using them for my next grow.
@GreenAlchemist, Damn! Now I have to go buy some Terpinator. π I hadn't heard of it before but what I'm reading sounds interesting. I'm going to start a new grow in the next couple of weeks and I think I'll give it a try.
@mrchicks, Thanks for the reply. I'm definitely going to be trying the Microbe Brew and Kangaroots next grow, should help out the mycorrhizal the comes in the Happy Frog soil. I've also been looking into products that contain Potassium Sulfate like Terpinator. So many options to consider and different products to test. If only I had a second tent so I could run even more experiments at once.
I'll check out those two's diaries next, love finding people like yourself on here, learning so much from everyone. Feel free to throw me any advice you may have as my grows progress. π
@mrchicks, I appreciate your kind words my friend!! We are alway glad to help our fellow growers learn and try new techniques!! As we still are experimenting everyday and learning constantly ourselves!! We look forever to working along side of you as well! Good luck on all your growing! It truly is a great hobby! π―πππ€π€π±ππ

Well played looks healthy with lots of trichomes, id say a week and half if you are aiming at 80%cloudy 20% amber . Keep looking at it with your scope since some strain will mature faster . Great work ππ»
You're plants look like thier doing really well, I'm also doing a couple of Dutch Passion strains - AutoGlueberryOg and Auto Critical orange punch. I've defoliated it and it's doing pretty well tbf. Its pre flowering/ pre flower stretching. Happy growing
@mrchicks, Defoliation with autos in week 3, 4 and 6 or 7 just after they finish pre flower stretching, then that way the bud sites are getting maximum light ;)
@Bashgrowsitall1989, Thanks man! Yours are definitely looking great. Next grow I'm going to be more aggressive with defoliation. Hard to argue with the results.
Looks good! If it was mine I would probably remove anything with a really long stem, open it up a little π Good luck I hope the end results are awesome! π€πΌπ¨
