1st Time Grow ~ Green Crack

Overall this experience has been amazing. This started as a fascination for things that grow and soon enough I was doing as much research for growing as I was for school. With the little bit I came to learn and the helpful people on grow dairies, I was able to have a successful grow. I wanted to wait to post this until I was able to sample the Green Crack. I will have to admit my biases, nothing will compare to the first hit of your own grow. ==Assessment== Appearance 6/10 Nothing to special about its appearance, does have that nice frosty touch to it Flavor/Smell 8/10 Smells out of this world good, not the loudest but still can be heard / Mango undernotes the earthy smell Growability 10/10 I did so many things wrong and yet she pulled through, very noob friendly. Overall High 8/10 I am a sucker for energy smacking strains, this is a good one. I did want to explain in detail some of my problems during my run to maybe help new growers. 1. During weeks 1-4 I had a very low RH, roughly 30-40%. This caused some stunting and would have been avoided by having a humidifier and dehumidifier ready. Be prepared to battle for climate control. 2. During weeks 7-9 I added a second light to the tent. I didn't have a par reader at the time and caused some bad light stress. Find the sweet spot for your grow before you start, makes it much easier. 3. Weeks 9-10 I noticed leaves went to hell and back again. I thought at the time i was adding to many nutes and didn't have a TDS meter to check. I ended up starving her even more while she was showing signs of deficiencies. 4. Finally, the last thing I want to add is be patient. This strain is supposed to be ready for harvest in 9 weeks according to the breeder. Most new growers don't understand that it will only achieve that in perfect or near perfect conditions. Don't chop to early!
