3 Flavour's for Jo

It's been an awesome run with very few issues. Good nutrient balance throughout the grow with no nutrient burn or stunted growth. The bigger plant grew so symmetrical and looked very beautiful in the final weeks of bloom. 😍 Beautiful buds with an even blanket of yellowy lime coloured fan leaves. It was a shame to cut down such a pretty plant but I'm sure I'll get over it once I burn some bud. Lessons learned on the GSC run... - The Destiny Grow System with the nutrient enriched soil, ph balancer and grow teas kept the plants healthy and strong during the first half of the grow. Will consider again. - The Botanicare Pro Bloom helped with the bud growth and the plants loved the addition of molasses every other feed. They rarely showed stress during the cycles. - The small DIY greenhouse came in handy during the wet and cold days which allowed me to start the grow earlier in the season. (see week 2) - Veg period was slow so I'll probably lengthen the light cycle to 20 or 24 hours during the first few weeks of veg on my next grow. - Loved, Loved, Loved, main-lining these plants. It was my first time trying this technique and it worked great. It did add some time to the grow due to recovery of the mainlining, but the yield was good and the maintenance was reduced especially during flowering. It also gave me the stealth I needed with the smaller compact growth. Will definitely do it again on future runs. - Learned to water only when needed. Sometimes there were 3 days before I would water depending on the daily heat and humidity levels outdoors. - Had some pest issues but got some great advice from Rap_a_cap and Majic43652. Their advice help me fix the bug issue. Thanks for the feedback! 👊 - For next year's outdoor grow, I'll let them naturally grow and flower into Sep/Oct rather than to control the light cycle by moving them in and out of the shed dark room. - This diary has 3 strains and each strain had different characteristics and harvest times. For all future diaries, I'll be sticking to only one strain per diary which should make things easier to track. The best lesson learned is that growing good weed takes some effort. The more time you take to learn about your grow the better the results. Luckily this site has many experts with knowledge and experience. I found the community of growers were always ready with tips and advice when I needed help. There's also a lot of articles online to learn from. So...The buds are now drying in the basement and I went with the wet trim cause of the higher humidity in the room. Final wet weight at 290g. ~35g trim and popcorn bud which I'll use to infuse some olive oil for my wife's bruschetta.😋 Earthy sweet smell in the dry room. I love walking in to the room to breathe in and enjoy the dank smell. Smoke Experience.... Good burn with white ashes with a smooth sweet draw. Not harsh at all. Immediate trippy/happy feeling with a nice cerebral high. Just a great zen feeling where sense of time disappeared.😊 Finished off by slipping into a deep relaxed feeling and chilled watching a movie with Jo. Felt great the next day...didn't have that "heavy" feeling. Gonna spark up another later tonight. 👍
