This was my first indoor grow and my first time starting from seed. Although these were feminizes seeds from a respected breeder, the plant hermed on me during weeks 3-4 of flower. I was diligent in picking off seeds as I saw them, but at that point I was pretty down and out. I checked to make sure it wasn’t light leaks that caused it to herm, so at this point all I can think is the stress of mainlining/manifolding is too much for this strain. Also just a heads up, anything based on Trainwreck has a higher propensity to turn herm but I didn’t know that until it was too late. If I grew this strain again I would only top a few times and would go light on nutes, as she still had some fairly dark green foliage even after 66 days in flower (usually finishes 45-63 days according to HSC).

This stuff is essential. Didn’t learn about it until week 5 of this grow so I only got to use it a few times, but the plants seemed to react well to these microbes. Along with OG Biowar Root and Nute pack (fungi/microbe blend focused on N fixing) mammoth P provides the P fixing microbes which really help make P available during flower for living soil grows. Be careful not to overdo it on the mammoth P later on, as your buds can start to foxtail if it’s used too late in flower.

This stuff is legit. I don’t know why, but it makes a huge difference in terp and trich production. Great soil conditioner if running a living soil grow.

For a majority of this grow, only recharge and water were used in tandem with a living soil recipe. Recharge contains a ton of great beneficial microbes along with being a good source of food for microbes (molasses) and some great amendments such as humic acid. However, I found half way through my grow there are specific microbes/fungi that can be used to help with specific parts of the grow cycle so going forward I will mostly use recharge just as microbe food/for AACTs and rely on OG Biowar for the actual microbes/fungi.

Excellent quality tent. Heavy duty zipper never broke when the zipper on more expensive tents I owned broke in the first few weeks

This was my first indoor grow and first light ever. Ease of use/setup was convenient, but it’s obvious there’s a quality issue compared to other QB lights. This light ran very very hot (83-85F @ 100% in flower) compared to other QB LEDs I’ve seen. After this harvest I invested in a HLG 135 Rspec that I will be using for flower, And will use the ts1000 as a veg light. This will help to keep the temps in check during flower and minimize temp/humidity swings.
