Gnominal

First time using Silica, don't know, didn't hurt.

Seems to work well. I like the ease. Smells like literal shit when top dressing, goes away after a couple days.

Very bright. Plants seem to like it. Gets hot, a fan is a must. I'd like longer cables so I can move the power supply outside the tent. That's not possible out of the box.

This could be due to harvesting at 17 weeks, Barney's Farm indicates: "Flowering Time: 50 – 60 days from sprout" so at 121 that's double.. I likely harvested too late however amber trichomes never appeared, apparently some strains are prone to this. I'm not a fan of how hairy the buds are but no big deal. The smoke is a bit couch-lock-y. Buds smell OK but nothing like during flower. Strength is decent, not weak, not amazing. Drying and curing remain the biggest challenges for me despite doing it "by the book" (60F / 60% RH / mild breeze / fresh air). The nugs post cure smell OK but in my opinion, weak. The yield was beautiful. My trimming needs to improve. Overall I like this strain and would grow it again, but would harvest sooner.. even though I still do not know how I possibly could have known when that is. I took testers along the way but it's possible it was already overdone by then. The aroma during its grow was quite unique, I wish the end result would reflect this some, in my opinion it does not. I am my worst critic and seek to improve so I remain critical of my results.

Didn't hurt.

I use hard water and find CalMag essential.
