This was my first ever grow. And I did heavy research about the strain and what to expect with it. And just this first grow has thought me a lot. This strain was super easy to grow - especially being an autoflower! Everything since day one was a breeze. I had no major issues with her at all. I only had a REAL when I was fumbling around with her branches, I snapped her top. Thankfully, she never gave up and powered right through it. During the 9th week, I was really starting to see the trichomes get very milky and some were amber, but I still had a few clear ones too. It was pretty hard to tell when she was ready to be chopped, but I settled with the 10th week. I really hope I didn't chop her too early!! However, I still am impressed with her trichome production. She looks so sparkly! One thing I will say is, I don't believe I properly flushed her. Now, I have heard mixed feelings on flushing, and if there really were any benefits. So for the last few feedings, I just gave her smaller and smaller doses, until the last feeding was just Armor Si, and the water.
Even If she doesn't turn out like I'd hoped, I am still happy with how she turned out, and at the end f the day, I still have a yield.
Things I would do differently:
- Raise the height of the light
- Feed more water early on
- More nutes than previously
- Improve LST technique
- Better LST hooks to keep branches down
- Top her earlier
When drying, I am trying to go low and slow, keeping the tent at about 50% - 60% RH. I want my temperature at room temp, but it is staying at around 20 C or less (Any ideas on rasing temp?). After a few days in the drying tent, the buds are starting to smell fruity with a hint of a grassy smell. It's not very pleasant. I hope that when it comes time to cure, the terps and fragrance come out!
