Harvested this lady tonight. I'll let her brown bag dry then trim before I put her on the scales. Quick dried a sample bud and tried her out, even freshly chopped she was smooth as silk and gave a really nice head change. Can't wait to cure her and see how she really tastes. I'd give more stars, but she didn't get nearly as big as my last plant even with all the same nutes/soil/etc. Probably just the genetics. She sure is pretty though, and smells amazing (a lot like fruity pebbles). For a freebie seed, I have no complaints though.
Got this as a sample freebie, and it's pretty old. Still some life in there though, as there is plenty of gas production when I mix it in with some molasses. How much it helps, that I can't say. Probably wouldn't ever buy it outright, but a free sample is good enough for me and lasts several grows.
I used the HLG 100 for most of the cycle, before I got the QB96s in and setup. The QB96 definitely took flowering to the next level. I will continue to use the HLG 100 in my 2x2 as a veg light, then will move them into my 4x4 with the QB96s when they get to flowering.
All in all, I'm happy with this harvest. I wish she was bigger, but it is what it is. First plant I've ever seen in person with purple buds, and boy is she pretty. Only issue I encountered was some magnesium deficiency (?) fairly early on, but it was easily corrected and didn't seem to slow her down much. She is pretty small, but she packed on some buds. For a freebie, I'm really happy with how she turned out. A taste tester bud quick dried at harvest was really smooth and fairly potent. I'm looking forward to getting a real taste of her after she dries and cures.

Well she's all dried and trimmed, and now jarred for curing. I did the brown paper bag method for drying. It worked out great, but I'm having a hard time nailing down when it's dry enough to jar. I did the stem snap test, and it never *snapped* but bent. Ended up drying too much, when I first put it in the jar it only got up to 54% rh. This was also my first attempt at dry trimming. Honestly, liked it better than wet trimming. I saved the trim and it's in the freezer. Really disappointed in the yield, as the taster I had was very enjoyable. Can't really complain though, it was a freebie seed after all. Buds smell really sweet and fruity, but I can't nail down exactly what like. I'm excited to let her cure for a good bit, as I won't really have to time to try her out until I get a little break from school in about a month.
This color change started a few days ago with my new growth. Is this normal? Deficiency? Something to freak out about? It looks cool but I don’t know what is going on.
