Spliff does it again!👍 - helluva grow for sure. This one was surprising in a lot of ways actually. Scent profile was amazing once she hit full flower, buds were dense and packed with resin. And she grew - like a bowssss! The widow in er was obvious from the start for sure. We did have a late reveg on er - looks like a light leak might’ve stressed out in the last few days. All told - no damage to the harvest and we def. got max value on this beast fo sho👌👍😎💪.
The overall on the grow is definitely at least 8/10. Waiting on the full cure to re-evaluate my rating🤟.
Taste & Smell: 🍭🍭🍭🍭
Effects: 🍭🍭🍭
You can definitely give this one an A+ for scent profile. Totally true to the description too - fruity, gassy and strong. Put the carbon filter to test. Can’t wait to see the profile round out on the cure. She already smokes real buttery and smooth, as-is, right now. Higher marks here for sure.
Effects are at a middling rating until she’s rounded out a little better. Definitely indica leaning but wouldn’t say it’ll blow away the experienced stoner. More testing required here....
Botanicare is always on point. No real diff. It seems between the base and the calmag save a minor addition to the N. she got most of everything on the pure blends. Hydroguard wasn’t an option as we switched to using peroxide instead. Been a loyal customer for years on this stuff👍
Medium:
Look, I love coco/soil, organic/synthetic just as much as anyone. I’ve never really hated on any particular method and each has its uses depending upon the environment. That being said.... hydro is likely to be the predominant indoor method for us going forward. It ticks all the boxes that the average hobby grower is looking for. Maintenance is generally pretty easy, while I’ve found myself monitoring ph and tds more frequently, I’m still only mixing nutes once a week instead of three. The hassle factor is crazy mitigated here👍. From a sustainability perspective, nute consumption is wayyyy down, saving more dolla bills y’all!
Added bonus is that veg. Growth rates are just insanely fast. From the moment she popped her head out to the start of week 4, this girl was fimmed, pruned, trained and flipped. She put out a full oz. more than the 6 week(v) mainline beside er😳. Now that is just straight amazing😎. The key advantages - BIG F$&K’N YIELDS and auto pilot care for up to 2 weeks.
It is a little bit of a tricky medium but once you dial in the ratios - smooth sail’n the whole grow. I can focus on training/maintenance instead of feeding🤟🤟.
If there’s a drawback to DWC it would be that I’d have concerns about leaving it for more than a couple days when she’s in full flower. They just drink so much that It’s a constant top off. All told, far and away the most effective and economical medium we’ve used😎.
Method 🎚️🎚️🎚️🎚️🎚️
Under this COB light system, the best method to date has definitely been a mainline. It’s got so much canopy penetration that we’re pulling down 16” long colas packed with well developed buds. Here’s where strain, medium and method kinda collide though. This girl was on a hurry up and go schedule. We lost the first one to root rot and had to get this one off the ground and mature before the cycle sched. Was gonna flip. Not to mention it was totally screwing with our spring nursery timing too. She was fimmed once and then splayed with LST. Not much either - just enough to get er spread apart a little. So you combine ultra fast growth rates of hydro with a big yield strain like this on a fast paced training method that limits required recovery times... and you get this monster. Just a perfect grow that anyone would be extremely happy with.
We used frozen water bottles In the res. twice a day throughout the grow. My issues with light leaks and temps are well documented and I’m constantly running up against one or the other as a hurdle. This plant was no different and she started to re-veg. In the last few days prior to chop. All due to a light leak from the cabinet beside this one that was running on an 18/6. Gonna have to plug some light holes prior to next grow. Other than that - she was amazing and the method here is getting an unusually high and very rare 5/5.😳
Yield/Harvest🌴🌴🌴🌴
The final number is just so sweet. 6.04oz and she veg’d less than a month. Overall, I could confidently say that’s both faster and better than most typical autos in general😳😎👍👌. Any time your rock’n out 5+oz is a good haul but in this kinda time frame - that’s just crazy. We let her go just a little longer (again, as per Spliff’s direction) and it was worth the extra patience. She’s dense as all hell and a nice add to the stash🤟.
Thanks as always for stickn around and watchn this one unfold. Sorry the update was so late but it’s been busier than expected. Even in the middle of COVID bullshit. Hope everyone remains safe and healthy. PEACE!✌️
I'm loving spliff seeds at the moment!! Got more autos on route and some purple berry kush fems. I cant wait to see the outcome. Your plants are looking AMAZING by the way !! 👏👏✊💥💗
@mr_h_kovert, lets just hope she recovers quick. My other hydro run is getting outta control and I gotta flip this cab over to 12/12 sooner rather than later🤘. Hopes alls well bud!
Maybe white silicone covers could help as well? I've seen some white covers on other people's DWC setups, because I guess the white helps reflect off some of the light/heat. Darker colors suck up a lot of light, especially black, but at least the red isn't as dark as the black.
@MovingOn, yeah I looked at stock covers but couldn’t find any for my size of net pot. This is my workaround. I’m not so concerned with heat dissipation or colour as the res. Itself is all black. My issues are consistently root rot due to light leaks as far as I can tell so I’m eliminating that possibility altogether. I’ll know if the issue is temps in about 1-2 weeks I think😬🤞😬
@@ShotGunBob, gonna day about on the light side of perfect. She started to re-veg in the end so I wasn’t gonna press my luck but I’d say 20% amber at the high, 10% at the low and clear/glassy on the larf as expected. That help???
Nice....looking good....I like having my tents open except photo's lights out.....F.Y.I. my issue I thought was iron....doesnt matter....my tops on the ones I was trying to keep from getting to the same place....WOW....they are blowing up like a cactus top....and getting WIDE...like flat and wide...maybe quarter size on the youngest one....MORPHEOUS the self topper.....the one I had given ph water only not the CYCO dr repair that contains iron along with their other micros......
I used Fulvic Humic acids Cal....Mag....Sul....Carbonator....Zyme....and a heavy PK........also a carb and micron builder........
But thats the 330ppm TEA....my 260 in between feeding is just 5ml/g of DEMETERS DESTINY CALCUUM.....and MAGNUM mag sulfur.....its like hot tap water after I add it to my RO water.....
THEY ARE LOVING IT.....I figured something out......what I'm not totally sure...but I fucked it up perfectly.....
