Conclusion: 1. The assisted LST technology proved to be highly effective. The tower was easy and cost-effective to assemble, as well as easy to disassemble. This provided flexibility in guiding stems during the vegetation and early flowering stages. Thanks to the tower, the main stem could be bent so that its growth aligned with that of the other plant parts. 2. The LED strip for illuminating the inner foliage turned out to be almost useless. Jessica got minor burns from the resistors, and I realized that controlling light contact within dense foliage is challenging. The strip was only useful for photography. 3. The automation of watering became a real breakthrough. Starting from the tenth week, I switched to a controllable pump, eliminating the need for early rising for watering and allowing for plant flushing right in the grow box. Highly recommended for soil cultivation. 4. Issues with pH water adjustment led to soil contamination with sodium. Although the plant was preserved until the end of flowering, the pH had to be significantly lowered. 5. As time passed, the pH of the prepared mixtures began to increase. It turned out that the problem lay in the local pH down producer. Switching to Terra Aquatica solved this issue. 6. Bottom lighting turned out to be very effective. The plant actively turned its chloroplasts towards the light source, and even the lower branches developed well. Ideas: 1. Refine the lighting system for the inner foliage. 2. Experiment with forced root aeration. This time there were fewer mistakes during the Grow, but the lack of experience affects the process. It seems that if everything is done without errors, the result will be even better. Although there are questions about the size of growbox - it's quite challenging to accommodate even medium-height strains in it, let alone the tall ones. In any case, need to grow and write about it in the diary :)

This plant was an absolute joy to grow. She was photogenic and really something that has stood out to most grows as far as looks go. The purples and hints of red caught everyone's eye. The vigor during veg was something I've never experienced; it was amazing. It seemed to enjoy being topped! I really wish flower had produced bigger buds, but they seem pretty dense, so I’m hopeful. Great job as usual Ethos!

Las plantas gigantes. tuve que colgarlas de los techos, correr muebles. preparar un lugar. Todavia y a un mes y medio del corte enfrasqué el 10 porciento de todo. el año esta asegurado!

É stato il mio primo ciclo di coltivazione e purtroppo ho fatto molti errori che mi serviranno da esperienza. Ho sbagliato inizialmente la distanza della lampada e le piccole si sono allungate troppo, poi ho iniziato LST forse troppo presto e non sono riuscito a orientare bene i rami per farle crescere tutte alla stessa altezza infatti alcuni fiori sono proprio piccolo rispetto ad altri, altro errore quello di non misurare il PH e questo mi ha portato ad avere inizialmente carenze di fosforo e potassio per poi continuare con calcio. Ho sbagliato le dosi di fertilizzanti che dal prossimo ciclo alzerò per provare ad avere risultati maggiori in termini di quantità e infine come ultimo errore riconosco di aver iniziato il flush troppo presto (17 giorni di flush) quando avrei potuto dargli almeno ancora un’altra irrigata di fertilizzanti per far gonfiare i fiori. Nonostante tutto sono contento ed é stato molto divertente e istruttivo, ora le piante stanno seccando e poi le passerò in concia per provare finalmente il sapore. Ho fatto una pesata a umido solo di una pianta perché tutte e due insieme non ci stavano ma credo sia sballata come misurazione quindi peserò direttamente a secco. A secco sono risultati puliti 68g, ho fatto una concia di 3 settimane e il sapore é davvero buono. Sballo da divano, molto potente come effetto. Sono molto soddisfatto

All in all this was an amazing harvest I usually have around 8-10 plants and harvest anywhere from 24-36 ozs per harvest with the 8 plants I had this harvest including the biscotti mintz and cookies USA I ended up with 898g total dry weight with all top quality flower. I’ve learned some things with all my previous runs when it comes to dialing in my quality and yield and definitely watching for those herms because I like to push my plants to the max when it comes to training ! GMO PUnch -Greenpoint I’m giving this a total score of 7-10! Biscotti Mintz- Barney’s farm Total score 10-10 Cookies USA score 7-10

So this experiment is going terribly! LOL This ulitmately taught me a few important things about this sytle of growing. 1.) My Frequency was way to high in the beginning. When i start over next, i will be going for 1 hr -> Spray for 1 min -> Wait 1hr (Repeat) 2.) Never reuse hydroton or CC. It ends up having left over material and nutes in it, which not matter how much you wash just make the soil a land mine of nutrients etc. 3.) Do no use rockwool cubes inside the medium, they hold onto water for too long leading to rot. 4.) Fill the buckets up right until about 2cm short of the nozzles that spay. Otherwise you lose too much water and nutrients to the misting, which spreads your nutes all over the enviroment. Ultimately, even though this is a living disaster, I have learnt valuable lessons, and who knows, some of them still might produce smokable flower!

Planted the Blue Dream from Seedsman outside yesterday. This ends her days under the led lights from Mars Hydro and starts her journey in the great outdoors!!
