This initial report is being posted at the time of cutting & hanging, I'm unable to comment on a smoke report. It was by far the easiest plant I have grown in 30 years. Absolutely no problems occurred throughout the entire grow. I just started growing Autoflower strains & the previous two strains did need attention to nutrients & PH. I'm unsure if I have just been lucky or the amount of Lighting I supply has allowed all my Autoflowers to grow above 32" and produce a few ounces of dried/cured buds. I've noticed other Autoflower growers who didn't fare as well and the one constant was the amount of lighting. I'm also very cautious with feeding nutrients while I've noticed others with a dozen or so nutrient products being used. They all seem to have problems with a nutrient burn so, perhaps that is something to consider? I will be updating this diary entry throughout the drying & curing process. Then I will be able to provide a smoke report.

While I have used other brands, I find Foxfarm's assortment to be the easiest to mix and dispense. I feel these products provided what this plant needed. One other product not listed is Foxfarm's Bembe which is intended to promote Terpines & added weight with a measured dose of Molasses.

This is My first time growing an Auto-flower and I must say, it was quite enjoyable. Especially the End product! I went lightly with supplying nutrients as She was planted in Foxfarm's Ocean Forest soil, to begin with. The description stated she would be ready for harvest between 8-10 weeks. I harvested a majority of the plant during the 11th week & allowed the lower buds to mature for another 6 days. I don't own a scale so I am unable to provide an accurate accounting of just how much weight the Final Buds equal. After the lower buds complete their 3-day hanging period, I should end up with 3 Quart Jars, filled but, loosely packed for curing. I held back a few buds during the original harvest for a quick (oven-dried) smoke report. You will see a photo of exactly how much I consumed. LIT-PUFF-PUFF. Those 3 puffs lasted for about Five Hours of pure Pain Relief! I was able to skip my afternoon dose of Morphine! I must say, I am pleasantly surprised at what I achieved in such a short period of time. I have already begun my next grow of Auto-flowers so, keep an eye out for my next Diary. UPDATE: upon curing, the buds shrank, reducing my expected 3 quart jars down to 2 full quart jars. Still plenty good enough for my needs. Should last until my next harvest.
