By far the most fragrant plant I've grown so far, so much that she clogged up my carbon filter which is only 6 months old! What a plant...my biggest auto yield so far, and definitely a monster to grow. Expect to do heavy LST if you're growing in a short tent like me. I unfortunately paid the price and had to supercrop to keep things going. All around a great plant and look forward to growing it again!

Reviews. Nutrient
Overall it's hard to complain with the FF lineup. If you are going to go this route, please be careful and always water with a bit more to get runoff. Last thing you want is a nutrient buildup, like I faces on 3/4 plants on this run.
Reviews. Lamp
Quite a good light, I must admit. The dimmer is super useful, especially for someone like myself that had my colas only inches away from the light. I only beat my previous yield record by 3 grams (previous was grown with the Mars TS600), so I want to see how she'll do on the next grow with some more training. Time will tell! My only complaint is the price. Seems a bit high for what you get, dimmer or not.
Reviews. Tent
Great tent with minimal light leaks. I usually find the leaks are from the zipper, so just have to be careful how you zip her up. My only complaint is the height, but that's my fault for buying this size vs a 5.5 foot or more.
One of my favourite plants to grow so far. I learned a TREMENDOUS amount, especially all the ins and outs of supercropping. Although I did end up breaking my stalk, she turned out quite nice! I can definitely see myself supercropping plants in the future just to play around. The terpenes are also really nice on this girl. I can't wait to make some bubble hash and rosin. And I generally can't wait to grow this girl again knowing what she needs now in terms of training. Will also be nice to see the difference with organic dry amendments vs the FF wet nutrients I used.

Grow Questions
microgrowshowstarted grow question 4 years ago
Is this a phosphorus deficiency? I originally saw orange and brown spots form on other leaves, but now I'm seeing blackish/purple spots. I've been having soil pH issues with this one, so may need a proper flush. Temps have also been low the past few days (60-65 but as low as 56)
Solved
Feeding. Deficiences

smoke24answered grow question 4 years ago
This could easily be a P deficiency, getting to mid flower P demand increases, not enough will cause purple petioles and stems, dark green older leaves, necrotic spots with leaves finally twisting, fading and falling off. P deficiency will also cause calcium problems due to how the 2 interact in the plant. I'd flush her good, and give her a feeding with some added P (at the proper ph of course), and see if the symptoms stop spreading. Happy growing.

@MikeLitoris, ah there it is! Well I just inputted the ppm, but I wonder if it calculates based off of that and the nutrients added. Definitely something I need to start looking at though, thanks for the heads up!

@microgrowshow,It is a line between pH and air humidity TDS measured in ppm or EC measured in mS/cm

@Loserofthemonth, thanks mate! She is crazy tall! She ended up getting inches away from my light in week 3 of flowering and had to be supercropped. Definitely should have been training her from the beginning!

I started with a shorty tent, real pain in the ass. I ended up moving a bunch of stuff around and putting in shelves to make room for a taller 120x120cm. My second grow I ran out of room. Hate that snap sound and your baby tumbles over. Nice recovery, good luck
