Classic Stoney feeling. Not too strong or too weak. Reminds me of cannabis from when I was a teen. Would like to try another seed provider, as this provider’s strains tend to be too airy/larfy.

Reviews. Nutrient
Second time I’ve used these. I’m not sure if it’s the brand or just the challenge of using bottled nutrients, but I never really got it into a sweet spot that lasted very long. Always seemed that no matter how consistent I’d mix the nutrients and adjust the ph, the plants would go through bouts of toxicities and deficiencies. Will be switching to run amended soil from now on, bottled nutrients are difficult for me.
It’s cal-mag, not much more to say.
Reviews. Lamp
Very bright, worked the whole time. Love the dimmer and the price. Just wish I had bought a single more powerful light rather than adding 3 smaller lights over time - made the heat difficult to keep down.
Cheap and bright. Wish it had a dimmer like MarsHydro does.
Reviews. Tent
Kind of a cheap tent but it worked. I never looked for any pinholes, but my plants never revegged. I can tell the build quality of this tent wouldn’t hold up for an extended period with use. The zippers would be the primary issue.

Overall this was a pretty smooth grow. Dealt with several challenges, but compared to my first grow it was much easier. My last grow was outdoors, with 7-8’ tall trees in coco - it was a watering & feeding nightmare. But this one, almost everything was easy to control and automate inside the tent, I loved that. Such a simplification over my last experience. Some of the lessons I learned on this one: 1. Grow one strain in a tent at a time; The different heights, growth rates, water and nutrient demands were difficult to cater to. 2. Grow in a smaller tent or place the tent away from any objects or walls; I could only get into the tent from the front, and once the scrog then trellis were added it was extremely difficult to care for plants in the back - they got some neglect. In the future will be switching to two 2x4s and do perpetual harvest. 3. Bottled nutrients just don’t work for me. Moving onto trying dry amended soil from now on. 4. Set my scrog lower; I placed it higher because I was watering by hand at the time, but that meant much more veg time than I really wanted. Now that I have drip irrigation I will place it lower.

Looks awesome.. do I see a mutated top cola on one of those??

@Ezzjaybruh, yep! I think it’s called a polyploid? Very heavy, very dense. Looks sorta like a Siamese twin cola, I’ve just been calling it JarJar Binks.

@Ezzjaybruh, yep! I guess it’s called a polyploid? I just call that one Jar Jar Binks. Looks kind of like two colas conjoined into one, it’s extremely fat and heavy.
