Grow conclusion: Growing her was pretty easy, the only real problem I had with her was due to pH fluctuation, but she grew healthy. Very bushy at first, I had a hard time spreading her out to get light into the bottom growth, it was only after the flip to flower and the stretch that allowed me to open her up into the Scrog net. I felt a bit down being forced to harvest her at Day 50 of flower, but the other plant in the tent finished super early (ready at 46F), buds were quite small but very dense and had plenty of frost, showing 100% cloudy trichomes. I did find a few nanners way late into flowering, I simply plucked them out and havn't found any seeds. I popped a 2nd Katsu Pupil seed for the next run as I really want to take her the full 8-10 weeks! Test report: Flavor and taste wise, she has a somewhat sweet and touch sour smell with some sort of cantaloupe/melon fruit front-note, very interesting and enjoyable. Effect-wise, she'll relax you but without the couch-lock or sleepiness, you'll get a wave a creativity on top of that. A friend of mine has been loving it for long juggling sessions. I wouldn't recommend this batch for any sleep problems, she'll kind of make your thoughts race, probably due to being harvested too early.

The extra head-room was nice from growing but even better for drying!

Overall run of this strain went well, a few issues but nothing major. Can't wait to see the next Katsu Pupil run!

I just got my katsu pupil in the mail today. I am so pumped to see are growing the same stain under LED in soil. I'll be keeping a close watch for sure. I got five pupil as my freebie. can you share any information about what you may do different if you grew it again?

@BryanD, sweet my dude! by Five Pupil do you mean the Five Star? if yes, I'd probably flip her a week earlier and stop weaving her through the Scrog net earlier as well, she could have filled a 3x3 by herself with a single top and 8 weeks of veg. Besides that, watch out for not giving her too much nitrogen (find a calmag that doesn't have any N), and make sure she doesn't get rootbound early (specially if you start from a solocup). I have a diary on that whole run along with a Star Pupil if you wanna check it out, might be helpful :)

The high and flavor will definitely have more pop if you let them go longer. Bubba typically looks "done" at 7-8 weeks, but if you let it go 10+ it really becomes something special. This extra time does not necessarily result in any sort of proportionate increase in yield (if that's important), but the quality will be off the hook.

Hey I love those lights, I have 2 pucks in space-buckets, but moving so I get a tent! Do you have any experience with the supplemental light (like your blue) on other grows. I'd love to get some ideas! good work!
