YeOldeHerberie

I didn't notice a huge benefit from this, but maybe that's because we were already in organic soil.

Good nutes, but they're very strong even at half dose. Now I know how to measure them out (less than half dosage). Next time I'll also use the soil version of Grow Big, which has a different NPK ratio. The sledgehammer works great for clearing salts.

Very sturdy and well designed with no light leaks.

This is an awesome light, especially for the money. It's extremely powerful with manageable heat output. At 20 hours a day it only needed to run at 85% power to hit my target DLI, based on converted/estimated lux readings. It's so strong that I had to turn it down for the NLs, since they didn't seem to tolerate the high intensity. The BBs thrived in it. This light produced some fat buds.

We harvested a total of 452g wet from the Blackberries. BB2 produced 38g of dry buds. They're airy due to the early harvest and a nitrogen deficiency, but they taste and smoke great. The other BB was much denser, making 254g wet. I'm guessing we'll get 50-60g dry from it, which surpasses our expectations. We also received a large amount of very resinous trim from these Blackberries. We've only tried the first plant we harvested, which we had to take about a week too early. The buds smell incredible. Very tart, like blackberries with floral undertones. Definitely a unique scent that I haven't experienced with weed before. The flavor is sweet like berries mixed with a little lemon, with kush underneath. Despite the early harvest, we had a nice experience smoking it. Strong, long lasting high that doesn't induce any anxiety, which is something I'm sensitive to. It's a bit more cerebral than I expected and I like that. The second plant was harvested on time and smells similar to the first plant, but with less sweetness and more kush. I think it'll be a bit earthier. I'll update this again after we give the buds a proper cure.
