I'm not sure if additives are necessary and I would highly recommend all new growers to not use them. Just from a learner's perspective, I don't know what effect each thing had because I had no control. I also picked an intermediate strain and a Sativa so I was really unprepared for the growth. the A and B are easy though. I noticed very little nute burn. PH jumped around a bit though

LOVE IT!! saved my butt so many times learning and really works wonders on root rot or for water not being chilled. think ill invest in a lot for my outdoor water systems this summer.

So I had a random scare with one of the drivers going out and really affecting the canopy. that being said the company shipped me a new driver and the second it got her the damn thing sparked on like magic haha. I have a spare though and the company cares about their products. I had amazing growth and even though my room was sealed and NOT COOLED it never peaked over 86F. Most of that heat was from the dehumidifier running too. I just wish there was more ..... simple or acquirable information on dimming and distancing lights. I have this suspicion a lot of stuff is bs and that these things could have run at half power and may have done even better that way. They just seem powerful and I wonder if its really necessary. the daisy chain and feature rock though.

It's my first grow so the difficulty is hard to gauge and I do hydro so that was fun learning through haha. The plant stretches FAST! I was shocked at how high it got so stay on top of training especially if you SCROG or work indoors. Seemed to be a normal or light feeder. I'd only put 1 ML per Gallon of A and B Aquaflakes. the bud didn't seem to smell too strong but I don't think I actually reached maturity if it's not obvious its a long flower lol. has to be at least 11 or 12 weeks. could be longer. No issues with disease or pests just human error lol. I honestly dont think there is anything worth smoking harvested. Im gonna chalk this one up as a failure and just put 1 oz but maybe I got at least 7 from the closet personal grow. I had issues with the website not posting pics so i just deleted that journal entirely lumping it in with this mess. I guess the lesson here is to not be timid with training and flip fast so you don't get overwhelmed. the plant recovers so fast in transition that you can beat them up and just jump straight into flower. well at least that's what I'm going for with round 2. to add salt to the wound the odor of the drying was like gummy worms with a musk that made me want more and more. then I fell asleep with a little heater in the room raising the temp to 90F on the 3rd day of drying. I already noticed a lack in the smell so I may have just spoiled it all. Part 2 update. Alrighty, guys so the scale read about 200g of semi-dried prior to curing trimmed bud lol. A lot is trash but I may have lucked out for myself at least until the next harvest. Trimming takes forever and It makes me really bummed I didn't pull the fully matured colas of all 10 plants. man, it makes me wonder. Idk what it taste like though aside from pine sol but its a not so harsh smoke. I flushed for longer than a week so I guess thats the terps haha.
