Fantastic Kush flavour - diesel and spice with citrus. Dank. Super relaxed, euphoric high. Probably night time weed if I had to put a clock on it, but I find it a perfect wake and bake strain to enjoy while drinking coffee, listening to tunes and browsing my news feed. Really happy with the end result. I have to give props to Niagara Seed Bank - they're local and I think they did a bang-up job with their own version of this tasty strain.

Wow. Considering the rough start and some bumps along the way, I was amazed by the end result. This was by far my most bountiful harvest and the quality of the buds is top-notch. The addition of the second light to the tent made a huge impact on the end result, producing some dense, chunky buds. Unfortunately, my small tent and the limited headroom really presented challenges and the top of the canopy felt the effects of some heat/light stress. There were some crispy leaves. It was my first attempt at a ScrOG and I think it worked out really well; especially combined with the FIMing. She really produced a lot of nice branches that were ideal for spreading through the net. I was amazed how many tops I was pulling out of her when I was cutting the branches during harvest. The big thing that held me back about trying a ScrOG with previous grows was doing rez changes/feedings and checkups. Turned out to be not a big deal at all. Initially, I used a manual transfer pump to both empty and fill the buckets for rez changes, but after a couple of changes I found that it was far easier to add feed back to the bucket by simply sliding the lid over and pouring the water back using a a small pail. For checkups I just use a turkey baster to draw samples for testing. Techy as heck in my yard. I was encouraged to not defoliate for this grow and I stuck to it - I cut a few branches but I took no leaves. The plant dropped plenty of leaves on her own as she progressed through her life cycle without my intervention. During mid to late flower I was picking out a few hand fulls of dead leaves every day. I filled 2/3 of a 5-gallon with large fan leafs when I trimmed her after harvest. Faced a a few challenges for this grow - the low height of my tent (as previously mentioned) along with a phosphorus deficiency (I think) early in flower and terribly high humidity later in flower. I think I underestimated the nutritional requirements of this strain; especially with the extra light thrown into the mix. It probably took me a bit too long to realize she needed more than I was giving her. She bore some scars as a result but I don't think it had a big impact on the end result - thank goodness. Humidity. It was terrible. As high as 80% at night. Typically, around 74%. I only recently got a hydrometer that gives my daily highs/lows so I can't compare this to previous grows where I defoliated heavily. However, as worried as I was about mould and bud rot, I had good airflow in the tent so that was huge in keeping things healthy. Another one in the books. I'll definitely drop another bean in one of my buckets in the future and grow her again. The new tent is finally set up and ready for the next run. Seeds are sprouting and I should be moving them in soon. Thanks for tuning in ✌️

I don't know if you can, but when I was getting high humidity earlier this summer, I would leave my tent flap open for a few hours each day and put an oscillating fan outside blowing in. Not sure how much it helped, but it made me feel better lol. Those buds look really chunky

@@motaman311, Humidity is the worst at night after lights out but I can't leave the tent open as it would get hit with light from the nearby fluorescent where I have the seedlings germinating. I definitely need to consider a more robust dehumidifier for future grows - I just need to get the purchasing department on board 😉

hahaha - one of those moments you go.."well..they're healthy to say the least...but damn you're stretching too much!" :P I'm really liking your deep water culture setup going on...always healthy plants you got my friend 😃👌
StunFlower
StunFlower
@CannaScuzzyB, Thanks! The stretch has been a challenge for sure - generously speaking, I only have about 12" of clearance between the lights and the canopy. I hope things can finish off with any major problems.

Hey Stun, If the deficiency didn’t appear until after you had the PH fluctuations, I’d put it down to lockout because it was out of PH range rather than deficiency if that’s the case. Also, is your EC figure right? I’d of thought you’d be somewhere around 1.6 by now?
StunFlower
StunFlower
@NuggetPawn, Thanks for the guidance, Nug. Hoping the increased EC will do the trick. 👍
NuggetPawn
NuggetPawn
@StunFlower, you’re doing the right thing increasing EC, I think that they probably don’t need that much, but I think the main benefit you’ll have is a stable PH, I have found over last few grows the swings reduce by 90% after the EC hits 1.2. I doubt you’ll get tip burn at the level you’re at 👌 With my nutrient regime I peak at 1.65 second/third week after flip and stay around that level until close to harvest 🙏

@NuggetPawn, I don't think deficiency appeared until after PH fluctuations. Because the PPMs kept jumping as the PH decreased my inclination was to keep PPMs and EC lower. However, I'm wondering if she wants more than I've been giving her. The browning on the leaves started as more of a purplish colour and browned through the week - some stems are purple too which I believe can be sign of a phosphorus and/or calcium deficiency. I gave her a stronger feeding with today's topup and her EC is running closer to 1.5 at the moment. Any guidance you can offer to help right the ship would be great.

Very nice harvest my friend :) Glad you tried the ScrOG - it's my go-to for all my grows and helps with resistance training as well as support. A little bit of stress and resistance training and it gives you more potent bud..but it's a fine line considering if you over stress, you risk stunting or making her go hermie. Overall, epic count for a single plant man 😎👊👌

@CannaScuzzyB, Thanks. I was pretty happy with the ScrOG experience - we'll give it another go with the next run. Yes, I was really pleased with the return on this harvest. I hope it's the shape of things to come. 👍

Really glad to see you got a whole bunch of buds out of this, well done! Was getting a bit worried after hearing about your RH issues 👌 Good move getting yourself a taller tent ⛺️... Looking forward to your next diaries 😎
StunFlower
StunFlower
@NuggetPawn, Thanks buddy. I was worried about the RH issues too but it all worked out in the end. I'll still need to invest in a decent dehumidifier at some point so I can put future RH worries to bed. The new tent is all ready to go - just waiting for the next batch of seedlings to throw down some roots so I can move them into my buckets.

Once again, congrats, looks like a solid harvest. Those roots look great... nice and white and those nugs look great.

@@motaman311, Thanks! Ya, the Purps is really living up to its name. I've got some Red Poison from Sweet Seeds waiting in the wings for the next cycle - should be another good colour show if she develops as advertised.
