Nutrient comparison with Cinderella 99

As I've mentioned throughout this journal, I ran two plants from the same seed pack using Advanced Nutrients on one, Fox Farm on the other. See my product comments above for my thoughts on that. If I had to choose one, it would be difficult. I don't think you can go wrong either way. They are both excellent nutrient lines with lots of options for customizing your feedings. A.N. feels slightly more complicated with the sheer number of products, but I will continue to use them. This was my first real grow, and looking at similar grows from other newbies, I feel like I either lucked out or I found a sweet spot in the routine. The most important lesson for new growers after 'read, read, read' is consistency, consistency, consistency. This is true for vegetables as it is for cannabis, but the cannabis has higher stakes, right? Plants love a routine just like small children. Keep their environment stable, the watering and feeding slow and steady, careful daily inspection, a little daily study and reading, then you can begin to really learn this science and its art. As for the strain, I think Cinderella 99 lives up to its designation as the Holy Grail strain. It's perfectly uplifting, clear-headed and a bit psychedelic; relaxing without couch lock. I've only tested it uncured with a pinch of its fallen resin mixed in. I will cure for eight weeks before I really dig in, taking samples along the way after a minimum of four weeks. I created two mothers from a batch of clones I made from plant #1. I will keep one of them for more clones and breeding experiments. Next grow (look for the diaries): Finnish Frost, Auto Cinderella Jack, and either Malawi or heirloom Cinderella 99.
