Excellent and cost-effective products. The silica specifically I think helped with preventing breakage during training. If you look through my grow pics, you'll see what I mean.
The plant was healthy so have to assume this contributed to the success. It's hard to say but I do plan on keeping these products in my grow plan/formula.
Other than starting with 1/2 recommended dose early on and easing into the recommendations that come with the product, I followed the recommendations exactly and the result was perfection.
It's hard to say whether or not this makes a difference but it certainly didn't cause any negative results. Someone would have to do a direct comparison side-by-side for this to earn 5 stars in my opinion.
It worked very well for my grow and small tent. I kept the light the recommended distance from the plant during each respective phase of grow and the plant never showed signs of distress or stretching.
I lubed the zipper after setup and had no issues at all with the zipper. So far, it's been a great tent but it's still early in it's life. 5 stars for now.
There was a failure on my part to understand how strong the smell gets as the buds ripen. I did purchase an 8 inch carbon filter when it got strong but it wasn't going to arrive fast enough and I had to harvest early and pack the buds into a container until it arrived. The attached pic was already post-drying right before packing away for curing. It looks and smells great but really needed another week at least before harvest. Overall, I'm pleased with my first grow and am eagerly awaiting being able to sample the fruits of my labor. Filled 2 1-quart mason jars after turning into nuggets.
Wow really beautiful!! I have 2 fem white widow seeds, kinda nervous cuz they are my first indoor grow ever, but i am pretty excited now after seeing your girls, awesome grow!!👍
Damned good training. Beautiful healthy plant. Every widow I've grown - under appropriate lighting - has stayed compact and bushy like yours. Never had an issue. Your's looks great.
@SIGrow, right on! This is a great place to learn and ask questions too. Keep up the good work filling in the diary, it helps guys out a lot when posting in growers questions.
Cheers
@@CloneKingz,
Appreciate the confirmation and encouragement! Did tons of research before starting on this wonderful journey. This is my "educational" test grow after which I plan to scale out to more plants and strains.
