My first grow so I can't compare to any other grow experience. So glad I have a couple more seeds of this strain to really get her to it's potential. Really messed up trying to grow in DWC set up for my first grow with organic nutrients. I really thought I could pull it off but the organic nutrients made it difficult to keep things from clogging and cleaning. Root rot got to it and decided to put into soil, the plant did really well going through this process, rating resistance strong. Massive learning curve; from watering to nutrient dosage, light distance, humidity adjustments, knowing when to harvest, flushing, drying and curing. Learned so much from this. Def need to improve and learn more in all areas to get the yield and quality desired. Cured for 2 weeks before trying. Was a harsh inhale. I don't think I flushed enough. Maybe even over dried, as well. Weak smell and not really sticky at all. Taste is hard to describe, just too harsh for my liking. Kind of disappointed, I only blame myself for not knowing how to properly do these things. Grow and learn Got Boveda packs and will cure a couple more weeks and try again. Hoping the smell and taste will only get better. Mephisto Genetics reposted one of my pics to their Instagram account!! A little instafame there, pretty cool being first grow. UPDATE: 4 weeks of curing Just an update, I did got to cure Tyrone a couple more weeks and what a difference!! Much much smoother, tastier and happier!! Curing and tasting at different stages is a great way to learn new things! Glad I saved some to cure out longer. Can't really pinpoint flavor profile, definitely tastes fresh!

Nutrients
Advanced Nutrients selling points for their organic line do not match up with product. This is only based on the nutrients I have used here; Iguana Juice Grow, Iguana Juice Bloom and Big Bud Organic. These are premium products and I believe they served the plant well. The problem is Advanced Nutrients sold me on these products based on false advertising. They boasted "no organic smell", and "no clogging lines". Iguana Juice Grow had a very strong "organic" (fishy) smell, I'm ok with that, but not ok that AN said it didn't. Iguana Juice Bloom and Big Bud Organic had a slight "organic" smell but not anywhere near the IJ grow. These products also did cause build up and clog lines, which AN boasted they don't. This made it very difficult to do thorough clean reservoir changes. Sediment also clogged up pump in DWC set up and stopped it from working. Will keep using these products in soil and hope for the best. Do not recommend for DWC

Will have to try to grow out this strain again, really see how well she can grow out to be. Lots of room for improvement, learning and crafting technique. The smell, harshness and poor yield are all on me. I don't blame the genetics or nutrients. My lack of knowledge really set back this plant. But I had to start somewhere. UPDATE!!

300w LED is plenty of light for 1 Lady! Let me make a suggestion and recommend trying your next grow in organic soil from beginning. A soil grow is going to be much easier than Hydroponics and much more forgiving when you make mistakes! Trust me on this one... Your Tyrone Special grow here would've been 4 or maybe even 5 times more productive for you if grown in soil! (and less work πŸ˜‰) Anyways, Great work and effort on this Gal! be proud of yourself for getting this far!!!

@1plant_closetgrow,Can you lower the watts? You'd have to raise it but it can do more than 1 plant. I find fabric pot with perlite at the bottom, then coco/perlite then 2 inches soil on top best mix ) U can even use CRFs, search for a real k.i.s.s. method on RIU.

@1plant_closetgrow, Dont give up on DWC if that something you want to get down!! I just know its a much harder grow (I've not been successful myself yet on a DWC!). I use Natures Care Organic Soil often and get good results. Also use BioBizz's Light-Mix with great results. My Grow Rooms have 2 300w LEDs that are working well, and my Grow Room 2 has 4 Ladies in it all under 1 300. Eventually as my Amnesia Haze Pot Compare grow plants get bigger, I will have to do some moving around, but for now all 4 are getting plenty of energy from the 1 LED.

Nutrients. Lift the pot n see if it’s heavy or not to know if they need water , if the pot is still heavy it means it’s still full of water whatever if the first inch on the top is dry ... you just need to lift the pot to know.

@1plant_closetgrow, it means it’s still full of water. 7 gal pots dry has the same weight than a big pillow.

1plant_closetgrow
@JUNGLE_B4RNS, thank you for your input! I've been doing the "first inch dry" method. 7 gallons of soil is already heavy for me to lift, so that dry soil test works better for me lol. It was first in a DWC set up and moved into soil a week ago, so had to figure that out

Good luck with your Alien vs Triangle, I've got one at nine weeks, not sure if mine is an F2.. it was a freebie from Seedsman. She's a beast though, Happy growing!

Thanks @1plant_closetgrow, Nice!, That's what it's all about. You'll learn from every grow, I don't think the learning ever stops to be honest. You couldn't have finer genetics to start with, that's for sure! The guys at Mephisto are awesome and really care about the quality of their products.

@Squirrel_Master, thanks!! Can't wait to see her pop up. It'll only be my second grow, but I know I'll do a better job this time around. Got mine from meph genetics, they gave me 2 extra in my 3pack. Will follow your AVT diary!

The perfect example what happens if your roots mold away... For Hydroponic: The PH must be around 5.5 and the EC around 1,6 in this stage of growing. More important is the temp of your nutrient solution. If it gets over 24°C you will get problems. 20°C is perfect. You can get rid of root rot with H2O2 (Ernol CC or Purolyt for example) but it takes a while....😊 Good luck for the next run.

@1plant_closetgrow, Growing hydro is genius if you know what you're doing. 😊 I would grow hydro too, but I hate cleaning up the pepples and stuff like that. It's a struggle...πŸ˜… You need to run the sytem a week before planting clones in it, so that the pH gets stable. Here's a nice scale which pH is the best. You just need to know what the plant needs in each stage. πŸ‘Œ http://hanf-hanf.at/mediafiles/Bilder/Lexikon/pH%20Wert%20Aufnahme%20Hydro.jpg

@PigBearMan, thank you for your input! My pH was at a 6 for the past couple weeks. Did not measure EC at all. Water temp was a steady 73Β°F/23Β°C. My mistakes. Was going to try hydrogaurd but took the quick and easy way out and landed in soil. Will give hydro another shot in future

She looks brilliant buddy. Looks like a top notch start to a perfect hydro Grow. Theres nothing I love more than logging on and seeing a beautiful little seedling in my feed. She looks like such a gorgeous little baby and I can't wait for the surprises she has in store for us. I'm excited to see where this grow goes and how it turns out. I'm even more excited to see the methods of training and the nutrient regiment you have planned for her. I wish you the best of luck in this grow and I'm ecstatic to see what happens. Best wishes buddy, Cheers.

@NIC808, You are very welcome Nic. I'm always happy to help with anything. I'm not much of a hydro grower myself as I've only done so a few times but I'm always happy to help. If you need anything don't hesitate to ask buddy.

If you only have a loupe or other magnifier, and you can *kind of* see whether theyre cloudy or not but dont have a good view: finished, cloudy pistils get both erect instead of all floppy and also look like plastic instead of glass good hanging in there! I believe you have great capability, and have liked/followed you =)

@Jaindoh, thanks for the tip! I didn't know about the floppy or erect pistils. Just checked them out and most have a slight flop.

I would stick with the veg nutes until she stops growing vertically, I would guess another week or 2 as she will explode anytime soon! Your last set of leaves look light green so I would up the feed personally but I'm sure a more experienced grower will chime in and give you a definitive answer! Good luck bro πŸ‘
1plant_closetgrow
1plant_closetgrow
@MrGreenFingers, I agree, the newer leaves are def lighter in color than I think they should be too. I started with a little over half the nutrients but still had to add a little more at the end of the week.

Also you res solution looks very high, I normally leave an inch or 2 gap between the bottom of the net pot and the solution as this will encourage the shorter/new roots to make there way to there food! Regarding the possible root rot, does the res smell funny and is there any sludge/algae?? Also what is your res capacity and how much air does your pump produce in lpm as you want at least a lpm if air per litre of solution, my bucket holds 16 litres when I do a res change and they are getting 20lpm of air with the pump I bought which gives them a nice spar lol

@MrGreenFingers, I don't have a liquid thermometer but the water is always cool to the touch. Will grab one to get accurate temp
MrGreenFingers
MrGreenFingers
@1plant_closetgrow, no worries man! If your looking yo stick with AN the product in there range which is similar to cannazym is called sensizym but I think I was wrong about it also sterilizing the res so maybe look into hydroguard as well, think I have been lucky so far though as my res temps are always around 60f and had no issues
1plant_closetgrow
1plant_closetgrow
@MrGreenFingers, will check those products out! Thank you! I really have terrible knowledge on nutrients/supplements, do you know if these are organic or does it matter? I actually contacted advanced nutrients about this and tried to get their input, they have grower support to help. No def answer, the person I was in contact with directed me to call, but haven't yet.
