Holy terps. It's a small yield for sure, but the product puts most of the dispensary herb here in IL to shame. The buds are nice and hard. Exteriors are mostly green with bright orange pistils, but a pass through the grinder brings out probably a 50-50 ratio of purple. Some parts of the buds are so frosted over that they just look light amber. The smell is a pretty light tropical, fruity smell with a hint of that hazy stink. Intact buds smell pretty weak but I'll chalk that up to my curing technique. Grinder brings out the full nose. The smoke is strong as hell. Taste is nice and clean--lemony with a little diesel. One hitter-quitter bong rips, even for my partner, whose tolerance puts mine to shame. A very buzzy head high with sore-cheek euphoria... can't stop grinning on this stuff. The body buzz is very light. Smoking a lot makes you tired, so it's a great daytime smoke in small doses and a good nightcap once you're done for the day. All in all, gahdamn. Dopest dope I ever smoked.

Nutrients
Grow Big and Big Bloom supported her well throughout her life cycle once I started feeding them. I'm a little underwhelmed with the Tiger Bloom--not sure it's tailored enough for the flowering cycle and I feel like they underdo the P and K so they can sell their flowering stack.

So not quite the yield I was hoping for, but what I did grow is awesome--super-hairy and super-frosty all around. So what did I learn here? One, I think I overdid it on the defoliation. I took off a looooot of fan leaves toward the end of the stretch, and in hindsight I think that likely stunted both her height and her buds. I'm not going to totally skip the training next time, but I am gonna give the next grow a bit more space to do its thing. For another, I learned that I'm probably not an 18/6 grower. I think I'm sticking with 20/4 from here out. Third, I'm adding Open Sesame and Beastie Bloomz to my next grow to see if the added P and K helps juice things up during flower. Finally, this was fun as shit. What I did end up with is some good ass medicine. I have a new hobby for life, and I'm looking forward to learning so much more about how this is done.

How do yall clear runoff from your drip trays? I'm currently pulling my one flowering plant out of the tent to water and drain, but that's gonna suck if I try to scale up to the five I'm allowed."There HAS to be a better way!"

There is a better way, get a pump and some tubes and place the tubes in the trays, after about 20/30 minutes after watering turn it on and it will suck the water into a disposal container. Hope it helped, if you have automated irrigation you can just time the pump to that time after the watering. Hope it helped and if it did plesse pick my answer its for grower of the month contest. I really would appreciate the fastbuds merch they have as a prize .

Love your Day 55 comment regarding taking the "middle road" on the debate related to flushing. Anytime growers forget that participating in Nature's cycle is a privilege and not a mad rush to squeeze an extra couple grams by super-stressing is a loss to them. Stressing out to help create something made to help us relax is a contradiction in terms. Well spoke Friend.

@AuldKelt, I appreciate it! I started this grow nervous about succeeding since it was my first time, but I'm finding that stress was pretty unwarranted. Like you said, we're growing to provide ourselves relief, so why undermine that?
