I was immensely impressed with this brand of amendments. I am trying to go organic and just do dry amendments instead of dealing with liquid nutrients and these exceeded my expectations. I will say that I am a first time grower and have never grown any type of plant before so what I say has to come with a grain of salt, but as far as I can tell these worked wonders.

Made the grow so much easier to contain

Again - being a first time grower I don't have the experience to really tell how good it is, but from what I have seen elsewhere - this light did exactly the job I needed it to do.

I harvested two days ago on the 10th of February so have not had a chance to sample it yet. I'm hoping to get at least a 10 day dry but we have really low humidity right now so its a chore keeping it above 45% rh. Then I want to do at least a month of cure, probably closer to 5 or 6 weeks cure. Will definitely update as I test it along that journey. The first plant had 209g and the second had 252g wet. Will update with dry weight in the next week or so - once its in. 2_15_2021 - Had a little nug fall off(0.5g dry weight) - it was perfectly dry and so I tried it. So far I love this strain!! - It has an amazing scent - like raspberries or strawberries being stewed for a jam/jelly - the hit is pretty harsh (expected for just dried without a cure) and definitely caused some coughing - the inhale has an intense incense like taste and the exhale is more floral with an undertone of raspberry - my eyes felt a little heavy pretty immediately and about 5 hits in had a real sense of calm - after 10 minutes or so after the whole bowl I felt really energetic and had a desire to do something creative - i ended up playing music for a little over 30 minutes and felt amazing (lost in the moment and definitely a sense of euphoria while playing) - after playing i felt a little hungry and definitely had some cottonmouth. - before eating there is still a taste of raspberry/strawberry jam. 2_18_2021 -After an 8 day dry I trimmed everything and put it all in jars. I ended up with 78.5g of good flower and I ended up with 66g of larf. I will run that and make some hash in a couple of weeks. -the smoke on it is a little less harsh than before but still puts you into a coughing fit. -the inhale is still very heavy incense but now it has a little more of a floral note as well -the exhale is pleasant, kind of like tasting a wild raspberry that's a little over ripe. -still definitely felt the eyes get heavy and after about 10 minutes felt a nice spurt of creativity. Wrote a lot this time but this strain will work wonders for you if you are in a creative slump 2_25_2021 -Today marked the first full week of cure. I gave it a taste and it was really pleasing. -When burping the jars over the week the smell of grape and raspberry candy hits you on the nose immediately. On the second whiff I get more incense/perfume smells. Its really amazing!! -Immediately after taking a hit you get the taste of incense/perfume on your tongue. The exhale leaves you with some of the grape candy taste. -It is still fairly harsh and definitely causes some coughing. -The grape taste stays with you for the next half hour or so and then the cottonmouth really kicks in. Definitely stay hydrated. -Still feel very creative and have a desire to make/play/do/sing/write things. I played guitar and wrote for an hour right after a bowl and was in the perfect creative zone. That space where nothing else matters other than what you are focused on. It takes away all of the noise and frustration in your head and tosses it out. Anything that helps me get into that state is more than welcome. Growing Info: Lighting: 20/4 for the first ten days of seedling and veg stage. 18/6 for the next 63 days until the flip to flower. 13/11 for the entire 63 days of flower Topped 30 days in veg. Defoliated 61 days into veg Amended: Day 10 Veg - Worm Castings and Kelp Meal Day 17 Veg - Bio-Live and All Purpose 4-6-2 Day 61 Veg - Worm Castings, Kelp Meal, Seabird Guano, Azomite Powder, Rose and Flower Mix 4-8-4 Day 13 Flower - Seabird Guano, Azomite Powder, Feather Meal, Rose and Flower mix 4-8-4 Repotted the girls 10 days into veg into a 3 gallon pot each. I left them in the 3 gallon pots the entire grow - this was maybe the biggest mistake I made. They really need to be in bigger pots, at least 5 maybe 7 gallons each. Overall I am super happy with my results - I could have had more to end up with but being my first grow I feel good about what I've got. Would definitely recommend this for beginners to growing.
