RQS Skunk XL on Coco under LED

All seeds germinated, but one didn't made it above the soil because I buried it to deep. In the beginning, I had some CalMag problems (it was my first grow on coco), but after adding it into the fertigation mix, the girls started to grow vigorously. The plants from this strain respond extremely well to training. After just topping once and a few LST sessions, I was able to create a nearly flat canopy. I think this strain is great for a Scrog grow. It takes about 9 to 10 weeks to flower; an early harvest (8 weeks of flower) is possible, but it will probably cost you some yield. I had no problems with any kind of diseases or parasites. Apart from the first few weeks (when I didn't add CalMag to he coco) the grow was an easy ride. Leave to bud ratio is quite good, however, one of the buds of one of the three plants (I named her Iris) were a little bit worse: they had more sugar leaves compared to the buds of the other two plants. Because of this, smoking the buds for Iris does give a bit of a throat hit. As for the effect: I haven't been able to detect any difference between the girls. It's a balanced combination between a mental high and a physical stoned. After two weeks of curing, the effect is a bit more 'clear in the head' and it took 20 to 30 minutes to get into a more mellow stoned. However, after 6 weeks of curing, the effect is balanced right from the start. It is great for relaxing, watching a movie, etc., but it can also help you focus deeply. There are some couch lock effects: when doing a job, you have to get yourself started, but once you're 5 minutes in, it really seems to help me focus and do a job accurately. Also: it makes you rob the fridge. I also made some ice hash from the trim. The hash from the trim that I dried was great, but the hash from the trim that I froze directly after harvest was superior. It gives the same kind of effect, very mellow and goes on for hours. The taste of the smoke is peppery and pungent. All in all: great strain, it was able to withstand the heat and high humidity at the end of the grow (no mold). Training it is a delight, it's easy to create a flat canopy. Nice balanced effect.
