A very nice strain. Very kushy as expected and that was what I was looking for, a real nice body high. Didn't turn out to be all red, but the top buds took pink color. I had both fungus gnats that I got rid of successfully and mold mites, which I had to live with, and the plant didn't mind. Night use definitely as it's really strong and sedative. Beginners in indicas may not like the effect as it's really on the relaxing side.

That was my best grow as it's impressive that it yielded almost 60 grams with only two 40W LED high power bulbs (6500k for veg and 2700k for flowering) and later on a 12W LED strip for the lower buds. The LED strip really helped with the lower bud growth and on my next grow—with better ventilation and bigger grow area—I'm planning to use a stronger wattage LED strips, let's say a 30W worth one. Had mold mites for the last like 3 weeks of this grow and they're almost impossible to get rid of, just decided to live with them. They basically do nothing, but they're disgusting. Had hundreds if not thousands of them. Already ditched my DIY grow tent and will then buy a better one for my next grow in a month or so. Hopefully I can get a better light too. Weirdly, it wasn't really smelly when growing but the buds do stink and they're sticky. It smells like skunk, earth, nuts or cheese, and something both sweet and sour. On the savoury side for sure. I dried it for 10 days, the first 5 of them with a small fan because I live in a high humidity area. I think that may have influenced the taste of the buds, which have a somewhat flattened taste of nuts, earth, pine, wood, and something sweet. The taste pattern is good, but I think it'll become more pronounced or maybe even varied after curing. Something more about the taste. I think it's pretty close to a hearty plate of mushrooms with creamy sauce and herbs. Not what I really expected, but it's really interesting as I never tried weed that tasted like it.

Can you mix botanigard, mosquito bits, and neem oil in one watering? Won't neem oil be counterproductive and act against the other two fungi? Thanks!

Many soils contain some beneficial insects as well as pests... I know if heard of some compost companies that definitely contain good tiny bugs. With neem i don't think everything is known. It'll repel some pests with it's scent and then kill others who eat the leaves its sprayed on. I think you should use botanigard and mosquito bits first, and then wait to do a neem oil treatment if needed.

Saw a flyer in the soil today. Had to kill it though so it's a bit smashed on the photos. The yellow mite is really tiny and on one photo you can see the tweezer's end for comparison. Should I let the soil dry out and then continue watering with BTI/botanigard once a week?

I'm having some fungus gnats and was planning to begin LST in a couple of days so I can't keep the traps in the pot near the soil like I have them now. What would be the right way to place them to catch the gnats without touching the plant? Thanks!

Hey man, you can simply hang the traps somewhere near the pot in the air for the time being and place them back on the soil of possible again. Also personal recommendation: if you have fungus gnats try to get some sf-nematodes. It's like 5$ a pack and they are an organic and very helpful way of getting rid of gnats by killing larvae. Worked like a charm for me when I used them! Cheers

10 days ago the lower set of leaves started drying out (they get brown not yellow). They don't receive light, but now it's already started showing on the third set of leaves. Does it look like nitrogen deficiency or can it be something else? Just gave it full strength nutes.

Sorry to hear about this!! Looks like overwatering or under watering.. to test, put your finger in the soil, if its dry an inch deep then water. Otherwise use a moisture meter. Happy growin!

I may defoliate the girl soon. How many leaves should I take off and from what part of the plant? Won't it stun bud fattening? Should I take off the lower bud sites too? I've got a led strip at the lower part of my tent. Thanks a lot everyone!
