Overall, this plant was really easy to grow. Perfect for a first-timer like me. Even with my beginner mistakes, she thrived and gave a good amount of frosty buds. This strain can grow pretty bushy and 'big' though and my grow tent got a bit small for this plant. I don't need enormous amount of weed so I think I'm gonna use a smaller pot next time. I could have managed LST a bit better too, so I'm gonna keep my mistakes in mind for next time.
I'm gonna update regularly on dry weight, curing and smoking...
UPDATE: After three months of smoking this weed, I started a new grow. I really liked it. After 8 days of drying, I finished the trimming and ended up with 80 grams of smokable flowers so pretty good for a first grow! I also ended up with 40g of trim I saved for making hash. I didn't expect so much flowers so I ended up really happy.
I was so impatient to taste it that I smoked a bit before even curing and it was already really good with a pretty smooth smoke for fresh flowers. Now, after a few months, smoke is really smooth and headache are not that frequent. Even if I have some really dense and good looking buds, I also ended up with lesser quality flowers with no density... But the quality of it is pretty satisfying: I definitely paid for worse plants back in high school.
Terpene profile is nothing of a punch in the face... It might be due to my lack of experience in the drying and curing process. Even though it is not complex or very strong, it is pretty enjoyable, with some kind of a licorice taste in the fresh weed that disappeared with curing. The sweetness of licorice let place to a nice bitterness an earthy flavors.
On the side of the effect, it is great! It put me in a really nice mood of "I don't care about anything, I am just chill right now". I am usually talkative but become really silent and I stay deep into my train of thoughts. Everything become really intense, which make it a great weed to smoke before watching a nice movie. It also make me really giggly and I can laugh and smile at pretty much everything. Physical sensations become really freaking great and hugs and kisses take a totally new aspect. Last but not least, it gives me the most intense munchies I have ever known.
I would say it has more of a Sativa-like effect on me, combined with a small Indica-like effect of physical relaxation but no couch lock. It has a really different effect on my wife though as she feels much more the Indica side of it, getting a strong couch lock and sleepiness I don't really get.
Overall a really nice experience, from seed to stoned, and I would definitely recommend to anyone as a first growing experience. Really easy to grow with a very enjoyable smoke.

Reviews. Nutrient
I'm really happy with these nutrients. I made some mistakes while using but I found them really easy to use and mix. Easy to flush, too, in case of over feeding. They seem to have had a really good effect on the grow since the plant thrived.
Reviews. Lamp
Reviews. Tent
Nice tent. Could be improved a lot with an active air intake I think, even if the passive intake works wonder. Solide grow tent, well made. It can get really small for a bushy plant though and I'm gonna use a smaller pot next time. In conclusion: perfect for micro-grows in small apartments.
Harvest done on day 89 from the day I put seed in the soil (D86 from germination). A good amount of decent size buds and a really nice 'wet' weight so I expect a really good amount for a first time grow! I put the branches to dry upside down with just a light wet trimming on the bigger leaves that were the most 'dead'. So I guess I'm gonna have a pretty impressive reduction in dry weight.
The smell was really nice while harvesting. Really strong MJ smell, with something of a citrusy aspect and sweetness to it. I hope it's gonna develop into a nice bouquet while curing.

Grow Questions
Gift_from_Naturestarted grow question 4 years ago
Hi! I started week 4 of flower with a PK excess (nute burn) so I flushed the medium. I started the nutes the following watering cause I saw some PK deficiency appearing. But now, my plant shows signs of both nute burns AND Phosphorus deficiency. What should I do? flush? feed? thx

First thing i would check for is root rot. That can cause nute lockout. If no root rot. Check PH level as that can cause nute lockout and other symptoms. If PH is good at runoff, maybe build up of bad fungus or microbes in the soil where Mycorrhizal fungus helps as well as good old fashioned earthworms. Plant disease can be a culprit as well. Some plant diseases mimic nute deficiencies. I had the same problem during preflower on 1st grow. Found out it wasnt draining well enough and mild root rot formed. Made a few more holes in bucket and flushed the soil til i had at least an inch of runoff so soil was neutral again. After about a week and a half the plant slowly recovered and continued the flowering stage. Flushing most times than not helps with any nute lockout. I would remove any leaves that are half dead. They are only hurting your plant by using valuable nutes that could go to good leaves and bud sites. Unless it will lead to over defoliating. It is wise to note that this stress may affect overall taste size yield and flavor of flower. Happy growing and I hope the issue is resolved with your ladies soon.

@Gift_from_Nature, I'm a novice grower myself thoe I had to research the hell outta what it was also some expert advice and was told not to water again , some damage cause but there straight back at it growing again about 72 plus hours after they intial recovery I've been giving nutes but only PK and the three plants starting from the one coming down on Saturday they are all on the same path as the buds fatten there consuming themselves and the last girl is still pulling alone thoe at the rate she might be the biggest girl in the candy lot

@Igrowneil, Thx a lot for your advice. Actually my plant is starting to be doing a little better this week. The buds are fattening and some trichomes are forming. Some sugar leaves are starting to be really frosty. But I think I stunt her quite a lot actually... My inexperience made me panic a bit and what I thought was some nute burn appearing as the same time as P deficiency was actually more probably some K deficiency (it can take the form of a burnt tip but with some yellowing of the leaves). That would explain why the leaves were so pale: the plant was flushing. So the instant the soil is dry enough I'm gonna feed her again.
Anyway, sorry for the novel out of my problems... Thx again for the support! Much appreciated!👌
