Dag 28 van mijn dames.🤩🤩🤩 Jongens wat een start van deze nieuwe week. Bij zjan en gaadkloempke heb ik witte haartjes gespot, dus mijne voorbloei is bij 2 langzaam aan het starten.😍😍😍 Het vertrouwen, dat ik weed ga gekweekt hebben voor de eerste keer, is er langzaam aan het komen. Beir en Mel zijn eigenlijk echt struikjes aan het worden. Is echt een groot verschil met de andere 2. Ben benieuwd. In ieder geval zien ze mooi groen en lijken ze me hier echt wel chill. Temperaturen gaan hier ook hard! Vandaag max 35 op hun kopje😁😎? Laat ze dus ook gewoon bij nacht buiten staan overdekt, minima van 17 graden. ? Dag 29 en 30 van mijn dierbaren😁 Ik heb het allemaal nog nooit langs deze kant bekeken, maar ik hou echt van dat kweken. Gaadkloempke is vandaag 7 cm gegroeid en haar zusje al bijna even hard. Ze beginnen ook te ruiken net of ik kom in de coffee shop binnen. Heerlijk. Ik zie ook overal witte haartjes te voorschijn komen. Er is hier elke dag zoveel verandering, dat mijn mondje geregeld open valt. We geloven er kei hard in, alle 4 die dames netjes aan de eindmeet. Nog geen water gegeven, probeer ze zo droog mogelijk te krijgen, want vrijdag krijgen ze voeding van deze jongen.😁 Dag 31 van de prachtige dames. Ze blijven elke dag echt goed groeien en de witte haartjes verschijnen bij gaadkloempke met de tientallen. Zjan, die als laatste is ontkiemd, doet echt flink haar best om de kleine zus voorbij te knallen. Maar da wordt lastig denk ik. 😂😂😂 Beir, die is geen plant meer, maar wordt meer en meer struik. Net zoals mel. Temperatuur vandaag 25 graden en droog. Deze nacht minima van 13 graden dus ook gelijk terug in de berging. Nu neem ik zeker geen risico's meer😅 Ik wordt nerveus als ik nog maar aan denk dat fout zou lopen nog. Geef ook vandaag geen water, want morgen voor de eerste keer echte voeding. Vanaf morgen gaan ze overdag ook echt de tuin in. Hebben ze heel de dag zon en dat zou zich moeten belonen in meer opbrengst. En da hoor ik graag.😁 En vergeet het niet he!!! Dag 32 van de kanjers😁 Vanaf deze morgend hebben ze voor de eerste keer openlucht en in de zon gestaan mensen. Lekkere wind en toch een milde 25 graden op hun bol.😁 Zo hebben ze alle 4 hun laatste water reserves verloren en stonden ze lekker droog. Eerst 0.25 gegeven voor in te zuigen. 30 min later 1 Liter water met een verhouding van 2/3 moestuin en 1/3 substral. Lekker cave spelen, omdat ze nog volop aan het stretchen zijn en aan het voorbloeien ofzoiets.😅 Dus geen risico's, morgen weet ik weer meer. Verder kleuren ze alle mooien tinten van groen en zie ik alleen maar levens lust! En dat stelt me oprecht gerust. Fijn weekend mensen😁 Dag 33 van mijn dames. Vandaag 30 graden en mijn dames hebben er de hele dag in staan zonnen. Heb wel witte tape rond de donkere pitten gedaan, zo blijven ze toch fris aan hun onderkant. 😁 De 2 potten met lst hebben hun liter van gisteren met mengeling helemaal leeg, dus die krijgen opnieuw ne liter lauw zuivet water. Zjan en gaadkloempke die krijgen een halve liter zuiver water, puur om hun te belonen. Het was warm en ik zie de main cola komen. Ik had zelfs deze nacht gedroomd verdomme dat ik haar had opgegeten!😅😂😂😂😂😂 Het zit diep dit! Wat een hobby. ??? Verder gaan ze deze nacht terug binnen, want wordt maar 13 graden en het koelt heel hard af. Dus dat ga ik ze niet aandoen. No way dokter dre😎 Morgen 43 kaarsjes dus ik hoop dat ze wat extra groei in petto hebben. Dag 34 van the ladyyyys. Go Shirley, it's your birthday! It's you birthday 🤠 Deze jongen ging deze morgend zijn berging in en gaadkloempke had een stretch gemaakt van 9 cm! 9 cm, das bijna zo groot als mijn piemel😅 Ik zag echt topjes komen(toppen in mijn hersenen) en das het mooiste cadeau dat ik kon krijgen van die schatjes. De dames heb ik vandaag alleen maar schaduw kunnen geven. Een feestje voor mijn 43 en de doop van berre hier thuis. Dus ik ze veilig op de kamer boven! Jawel, ik ging ze net halen en wat een geur en aroma's ???🤩🤩🤩 Love this smell 🤤🤤🤤 Vanaf morgen officieel in de bloei en ik had nooit gedacht dat ik dat met alle 4 ging halen. Sensi seeds, ik hoop dat ik met mijn liefde, alles hier uit jullie genetica kan sleuren. Maar 1 ding weet ik zeker! I am made for loving this 4 girls🤫 Fijne avond en blijf bloeien en groeien😉😁😎😎😎 Rise and shine people😎🤪😎

So starting the 3rd week of flower. All but one plant speeding ahead towards dank. The lights below LED continue at a fast pace, I think it’s the most pistils I’ve seen firing out all over place this early. However one of the OS below the HPS isn’t feeling this groove and is developing at a slower rate. The plants that are being hit by both lights are gonna be fat!!!!! The forming buds are coming together quickly and big, they look swollen before they’ve swollen if ya know what I mean.🤔😂 I love week 3 of flower its where I always hit my plants with Hydrotops Triple F. It’s not a new product I’m using however I am using it in conjunction with two of their other products this time which is supposed to be the ideal way to benefit the plants when using Triple F. Development has seemed quicker during this grow especially from the period of switching the light cycle up to now. I’m happy. Temperature still a problem though a bit. Looking awesome going through week 3. But one plant is so much slower than the rest, I think she stretched a little too much when it was time. It still looks very strong and is covered with flower sites but they’re just not developing at a rate anything like her sisters flowers. The phantom OG in there with them are super fast. Maybe that’s making the Orange seem slower to me too🤔😂 all looking great in there anyway and am loving every moment I get to get in there with my girls. Very productive 3rd week 3 out of 4 growing at an accelerated rate, the 4th is looking fine too, well looking great actually but a lot slower with flower development.

Bueno, al final las flores desde el tallo medio hacia arriba no han sido polinizadas ... ¡o al menos pocas tendrán semillas! Porfin los cogollos están empezando a hincharse y definitivamente les daré una semana más de floración. ¿Qué dices? Si teneis algún consejo para mí, lo agradesco mucho!

10/01: they are flowering away. This week i decided to move the one that was still in the cup to an autopot. Ive never transplanted during flower before so will see how well it acclimates to the new pot. I did this cause i will have to go out of town for a few days at the end of the month and would jot be around to water it each day. Both plants are very small. They smell lovely when you get close to them, like fruit. But have little smell when not right on top of them.

They continue to be very hungry. Mid week I had to change the reservoir and decided to go with full flower nutes from canna. They seem to like it and the flowers start to stretch along the colas. So far so good, I am really curious how they Turn out in the end. Plants have been defoliated heavily one last time to enable more light in the lower canopy.

06/03/2021 Week 10 and pistils are turning brownish in color as new growth is still coming starting to get some serious smell now, I put her outside for a little fresh air and light drizley rainy afternoon will be brought back in doors to dry her leaves, and back under Iights to finish her day. Maybe trim some leaves? Hmmm. Ps. Put up 3 pics of day #5 week #10 of flower, she may go to week 12 but we will see.

🌿 Frosted Guava Auto by Zamnesia | Pheno B | Week 6 (Early Flower) 🌱 Same Family, Completely Different Personality One of the greatest joys of growing multiple phenotypes side by side is discovering just how differently they can express the very same genetics. Frosted Guava Pheno B continues to surprise me every single week. Sharing the same home, the same lighting, the same nutrition, the same environmental conditions, and the very same 12/12 From Seed journey as her sister, she's writing an entirely different story. Where Pheno A reached for the sky with a broader, more open structure, Pheno B has remained wonderfully compact, building a dense framework of strong branches and closely spaced internodes that give her an incredibly sturdy appearance. Standing at 99 cm, she isn't the tallest lady in the room. But every day she convinces me a little more that height isn't everything. Sometimes the smaller plants carry the biggest surprises. 🌸 Week 6 – Flowers Are Starting to Take Control This week marks the moment where flowering truly begins taking over. The vertical stretch has slowed considerably, allowing the plant to redirect her energy into building the dozens of flowering sites spread across her canopy. Every branch now carries clusters of bright white pistils, and what were small pre-flowers only a week ago are already beginning to form recognizable bud sites. There's a quiet confidence about this phenotype. She isn't growing wildly. She's growing with purpose. Each node feels productive, each branch contributes to the canopy, and the entire plant appears focused on one objective—building flowers. 🌿 Compact Structure with Huge Potential One characteristic continues standing out above everything else. Density. Her internodal spacing remains noticeably tighter than her sister's, creating a plant that feels full without becoming overcrowded. The careful Low Stress Training carried out during vegetative growth has paid off beautifully, allowing light to reach deep into the canopy while preserving her naturally compact architecture. Strong lateral branching, thick stems and excellent airflow throughout the plant provide a solid framework for the weeks ahead. Looking at her today, it's easy to imagine each one of these flowering sites developing into chunky, well-supported colas. Sometimes compact plants end up being the ones that surprise you the most. 🌼 Early Flower Development Flower production has accelerated nicely this week. Fresh clusters of pistils continue appearing across every growing tip, while the first small stacks of calyxes are beginning to give each bud site more definition. Although it's still early in bloom, there's already a noticeable increase in flower density compared to last week. Every passing day adds a little more volume. A few more pistils. A little more structure. The transformation has clearly begun. The first hints of resin are also starting to appear on the surrounding sugar leaves, offering a small preview of what's still to come. 🍃 Plant Health Health remains exceptional. The foliage displays a deep, healthy green, with leaves maintaining excellent posture throughout the entire canopy. There are no signs of stress, deficiencies, or nutrient imbalance. The stems continue thickening to support future flower weight, while new growth remains vigorous and beautifully uniform. She has developed into one of those plants that simply looks comfortable. Comfortable in her environment. Comfortable with her feeding. Comfortable doing exactly what nature designed her to do. 💧 Nutrition & Hand Watering Unlike her sister, Pheno B continues her journey under traditional hand watering, allowing me to spend a little extra time with her during every irrigation. This week's feeding consists of: • Terra Bloom — 1.9 ml/L • Pure Zym — 1 ml/L • Sugar Royal — 1 ml/L • Power Buds — 1 ml/L • Green Sensation — 1 ml/L Maintaining: • EC: 1.78 mS/cm • pH: 6.0 It's been fascinating to compare both irrigation methods throughout this project. Despite one plant growing with AutoPot and the other by hand, both continue developing beautifully under the same Plagron feeding program. 🌡️ Environment Stable environmental conditions continue allowing each phenotype to express its genetics without unnecessary stress. Current conditions: • Day temperature: 29°C • Night temperature: 25°C • Relative humidity: 72% • Solution temperature: 21°C • Root zone temperature: 21°C • CO₂: Approximately 639 ppm Keeping these parameters consistent has allowed the subtle genetic differences between both Frosted Guava phenotypes to become the real story of this grow. 👀 Looking Ahead Over the coming week, I expect flower production to accelerate significantly. Those small clusters of pistils should begin stacking together into clearly defined buds, while resin production gradually spreads across the sugar leaves and surrounding calyxes. What excites me most isn't her height. It's her structure. Her compact frame, tight internodal spacing, and impressive number of flowering sites give me the feeling that she could become one of those plants that quietly delivers an outstanding harvest without ever being the biggest in the room. Sometimes the plants that ask for the least attention end up giving you the biggest smile at harvest. 🙏 Final Thoughts Frosted Guava Pheno B is becoming one of the most fascinating plants in this entire 8×8 Adventure. Growing beside her sister under identical conditions has been a perfect reminder that genetics are never just about a strain name—they're about expression. Same family. Same environment. Same care. Yet a completely different personality. She has chosen to stay compact, sturdy and beautifully organized, and every week she becomes a little more convincing that this unique structure could translate into something very special when harvest day finally arrives. A huge thank you to Zamnesia for trusting me with these incredible genetics, Plagron for consistently outstanding nutrition, Future ofGrow for powering the garden with exceptional lighting, TrolMaster for maintaining a stable environment, and to everyone following this journey here on GrowDiaries. Your support, comments, and encouragement continue to make this 8×8 Adventure even more rewarding. Until next week... Growers Love and happy growing! 🌱💚

The plant has doubled in size within this week. This week it was watered every 2 days with approx. 150 ml with collected rainwater. The weather was really good again this week. The daily temperatures fluctuated between 18 and 27 degrees. As roots were visible at the bottom of the pot, I thought it would be a good time to repot at the end of the week. As you can see from the pictures, the roots are not yet perfectly formed. As I have now taken the plant out of its pot anyway, it has been given a new home. The pot size has increased from 0.6l to 4l. It is now big enough for the pre-fertilized soil. N 210 mg/L - P 240 mg/L - K 270 mg/L - Mg 70 mg/L - S 150mg/L

As a beginner grower - this is my 2nd grow ever and my very first run from seed - dialing in a fully automated sealed room, CO2 supplementation, precision NetBow drip irrigation, and plant biology has been a massive learning curve. It takes constant studying and testing, but the effort is paying off: the plants are super healthy, strong, and stacking flowers rapidly. Last week brought a major breakthrough in root-zone management. Instead of constantly fighting pH drift with acid, stability was locked in through proper ionic balance and bicarbonate buffering. The ATOMIK (v6.23) feed formula was fully aligned with the top 10 peer-reviewed research papers from the last 7 years (Dr. Bugbee / Utah State, Dr. Zheng / Guelph, and Dr. Bernstein / Volcani) DAY 45 Crop stearing light. 3.00 light up 5.00 10 minutes shot ? 660ml per plant 6.00 10 minutes shot ? 660ml per plant 7.00 10 minutes shot ? 660ml per plant - run off 500ml per plant EC 2.5 ph5.9 12.00 8 minutes shot 530ml 14:30 8 minutes shot 530ml total 3060 ml per plant RUNOFF ~16% One plant eats alot runoff = 100ml i add per hand 400ml. This was the smalest plant from seed. Now are the biggest, how strange.

Day F79 and the momma gets the chop. Kind of a sad day, I really did enjoy growing this strain. The mother proved to be a beast at chop time, looks to be 5 oz+ of beautiful purps and crystals. Will grow this strain again and have sent some of the genetics across the country and across the border for other Growmies to enjoy.

4/13 10AM MONDAY They are looking pretty good. Got the ph stabilized and only running 98W! Using a few DROPS in 18oz to test Purpinator on veggies. 4/14 11am Using a little Purpinator .5ml per gallon and will have to do lots of runoff to prevent burns. Using vegetables to test fro Purpinator burns👍 4/15🚨🚨🚨 Your setup photos are great — thanks for sharing them. The R2-D2 power strip topper is a fun touch (he’s guarding the outlet like a proper astromech droid). Here’s a clear breakdown of what I see and my honest opinion on the power draw/safety. What you’re running • Two Mars Hydro TS1000 lights — These are officially rated at 150W each (real-world draw is usually ~145–150W at full power, sometimes a bit less if dimmed). You mentioned ~100W each, but they’re actually higher — so total for the two lights is roughly 300W. • Plus the two black fan speed controllers (one for each tent’s exhaust/inline fan). • A few small wall warts/adapters plugged into the white smart plugs or directly. • You measured 335W total across tents 1 and 2 on one outlet — that lines up reasonably (lights ~300W + fans/controllers ~20–40W depending on speed + minor losses). Is this safe on one standard outlet/circuit? In most US homes a standard wall outlet is on a 15-amp 120V circuit: • Max theoretical capacity = 15A × 120V = 1,800W. • Safe continuous load rule (National Electrical Code for things running 3+ hours, like grow lights): Stay under 80% = 1,440W max. Your 335W total is very low — only about 23% of the safe limit. That’s comfortably safe. No real risk of overheating the outlet, tripping the breaker, or fire hazard from overload right now. My opinion on the setup: • Good: Everything is neatly plugged in. The white smart plugs (with the green lights and blue indicator) and the labeled ones (9e, 10e, 11e) look like you’re using them for timers or monitoring — smart move for controlling lights/fans independently. R2-D2 adds personality and keeps the wall organized. • Fine for now: Two TS1000s + fans on one outlet/circuit is no problem at these low watts. Many small grows run similar loads without issue. • Long-term suggestions (to keep it safe and reliable as your grows expand): ◦ Don’t daisy-chain too much — You already have multiple adapters and controllers stacked. Avoid adding a lot more (e.g., dehumidifier, heater, or more lights) on the same outlet/circuit. ◦ Check heat — Feel the wall outlet and the power strips after the lights have been running for a few hours. They should be only slightly warm, not hot. If anything feels warm/hot, spread the load. ◦ Dedicated circuit is ideal — For peace of mind, run the lights on their own circuit if possible (or at least separate the fans/controllers if you add more equipment later). ◦ Surge protection — Make sure the main power strip or outlet has good surge protection, especially with grow equipment that can have inrush current when turning on. ◦ Monitor actual draw — Your 335W reading is helpful. If you have a kill-a-watt meter or smart plug that shows real-time watts, keep an eye on it when everything is at full power. The houndstooth shirt hanging on tent 2 is a nice personal touch — makes the grow room feel lived-in and less sterile. Quick safety checklist for your whole setup • All cords are in good shape (no fraying, especially the black ones going to the fans). • Nothing is blocking airflow around the plugs/adapters. • The inline fans and ducting look properly attached (important for heat and smell control). • If you ever add more lights or equipment, recalculate the total watts and stay under ~1,200–1,400W on that circuit. Overall, your power setup looks thoughtful and creative (love the R2-D2 detail). It’s not overloaded at 335W, so you’re good to keep running tents 1 and 2 like this while you sterilize and prep tent 3. 4/16 543am 5ft tent sideways attached to 6ft table that can slide around 4/17 3:45am. Here’s the exact vibe you’re going for, and yeah, it’s dark, inappropriate, and could be hilariously unhinged if executed right: Video Concept: “Revenge of the Skid Row Sith” • Split-screen the entire time. • Left side: Clean, epic original Revenge of the Sith footage — Anakin vs. Obi-Wan on Mustafar. Dramatic dialogue, lightsabers humming, lava flows, John Williams score swelling (“Battle of the Heroes” or the full Mustafar duel track). • Right side: Real, raw bodycam or dashcam footage of two absolutely fried-out junkies (or one junkie vs. cops/security) going full delusional meltdown on the street — flailing, screaming nonsense, swinging wildly at nothing or at officers, thinking they’re in an epic lightsaber duel. Twitching, eyes rolled back, yelling shit like “YOU UNDERESTIMATE MY POWER!” while barely able to stand. One of them probably shirtless, covered in sores, pants falling down, yelling about the “high ground” while tripping over a curb. The comedy comes from the perfect sync: • When Anakin says “I hate you!” → Junkie on the right screams “I HATE YOU COPS!!” or just incoherent rage. • When Obi-Wan says “It’s over Anakin, I have the high ground” → The junkie is literally on the curb or a slight incline, yelling at the cop below him “YOU HAVE THE HIGH GROUND?!” • Dramatic slow-mo lightsaber clash → Slow-mo of the junkie wildly swinging a broken bottle or just air, missing by a mile while the cop easily sidesteps. • Anakin getting chopped up and burned → Junkie getting tased or tackled into the dirt, still convulsing and screaming about betrayal. Overlay the full Star Wars audio (dialogue + epic music) on top of the real footage on the right, so the junkies’ actual grunts and screams are mostly drowned out or faintly audible underneath, making it look like they’re perfectly delivering the lines in their drug-fueled psychosis. End it with the classic “You were the chosen one!” speech while the junkie is face-down in his own puke, getting cuffed, still muttering about the dark side. Tone-wise: Super dark humor. It walks the line of “this is fucked up” but the absurdity of the overlay makes it land as comedy instead of just tragedy porn. Think It’s Always Sunny energy meets Cops bloopers with Star Wars fan editing. I can’t actually generate or edit real video clips here (especially not real bodycam footage of people in crisis — that’s a legal/ethical minefield even for parody). But if you want, I could: • Write a full detailed script/timeline with exact timestamps from the Mustafar scene synced to generic “junkie fight” beats. • Suggest public-domain or fair-use-friendly ways to source similar footage without doxxing real people. • Help you describe it precisely enough to feed into a video AI tool like Runway, Kling, Luma, or whatever’s good for video right now (with heavy disclaimers on the dark content). Want me to flesh out the full beat-by-beat script for the Mustafar duel re-cut this way? Or pivot it to fully AI-generated characters (two cartoonish, exaggerated skid-row types in a filthy alley “Mustafar” with lava made of spilled fentanyl and burning trash) to avoid any real-people issues? It’s a nasty, wrong, stupid idea… and that’s exactly why it could be comedy gold in the right hands. Your call how far you want to take it."" 4/18 3:21AM 👨‍🔬🚨"Yeah, pH drift upward overnight (or over several hours) in a freshly mixed hydroponic nutrient batch is super common—especially when you let it sit with constant agitation like a magnetic stirrer. It's not usually a sign that something's broken, but it can make adjustment feel like a battle the next day. Why this happens with your setup CO₂ off-gassing + aeration/agitation: Fresh water (especially tap or even some RO) often holds dissolved CO₂, which forms carbonic acid and keeps pH lower initially. When you mix nutrients and run a magnetic stirrer all night, you're constantly agitating and exposing the solution to air. That drives CO₂ out, reducing the acid, so pH naturally rises (sometimes 0.5–1.5+ points). Magnetic stirrers create good mixing but also promote gas exchange, speeding this up compared to a still jug. Buffering from water and nutrients: Many water sources have alkalinity (bicarbonates, etc.) that acts like a buffer. Nutrients themselves have their own buffering capacity. When you add pH Down right after mixing, the buffers can "fight back" over time, slowly pushing pH higher as the solution stabilizes. General Hydroponics recommends mixing nutrients first, waiting 15–20 minutes (or longer), then adjusting—because immediate readings can be misleading. Temperature and time: pH readings shift with temp, and overnight changes let everything equilibrate. If your stirrer keeps things moving and slightly warmer, that can influence the drift too. Your General Hydroponics pH Down (usually phosphoric acid-based) should still work, but if the solution has strong buffering or you've already hit a stabilized higher pH, it can feel "hard to lower" because you're fighting those buffers. Adding it slowly while stirring, waiting 10–30 minutes between additions, and re-testing helps. Don't chase it too aggressively right after mixing—let the batch settle. Does this happen in the "reservoir" (rez) too? Absolutely—often even more noticeably. In an active rez (with airstones, pumps, or circulation), constant aeration drives the same CO₂ off-gassing, causing pH to creep upward over hours/days. Plant roots taking up nutrients (especially nitrates) can push it higher too. Many growers see this exact pattern: mix and adjust at night, wake up to higher pH. It's why a lot of people premix the night before, let it stabilize with gentle mixing/aeration, then do a final pH check and tweak in the morning before using. Quick tips to make it less frustrating Mixing routine tweak: Use your magnetic stirrer to fully dissolve nutrients, but maybe run it for a few hours instead of all night if the drift is too much. Or mix, stir briefly, let sit still for 30–60+ minutes, test/adjust, then optional light stirring. Water source: If you're on tap/well water with high alkalinity, that amplifies upward drift. RO water often needs more pH adjustment initially but can be more stable once set (though pure RO can sometimes drift differently). Adjustment technique: Add pH Down in small increments while stirring, wait for the meter to stabilize (it can take time), and re-test after 15–30 min. Track how much you use per gallon so you can anticipate next time. Test meter: Make sure it's calibrated and the probe is clean—old or dirty meters give wonky readings that make drift seem worse. If it's stubborn: Some folks add a tiny bit of pH stabilizer or just accept minor daily tweaks. Citric acid-based downs can drift more than phosphoric ones, but GH's is usually pretty reliable. This is one of those classic hydro "annoyances" that almost everyone runs into—your nighttime low-frequency tuning sessions with the subwoofer probably give you plenty of time to notice these little chemistry experiments too.""

It was an interesting grow in hind sight, I had my ups and downs along the way . It was my First haze and wasn't prepared for the 12 wk flowing cycle. My girls took until wk 3-4 to show any hairs!! I was starting to think that they would never do it. I was battling with my nighttime temps , sometimes they would drop to 3c. I installed a 190w 1.5m greenhouse tube heater and managed to raise it to 9c. I installed another a few weeks after and managed to keep a temp of 12c when lights were off. It seemed like I was constantly waiting for a growth spurt as the flowers didn't seem to kick off until Around wk 8 . I had some foxtails, mainly on the left side Of my tent , the foxtails were like crowns ( 4 growing out of the tip of the cola). This also made the main bud a bit loose . The flavour is nice and sweet with a pungent smell, some have said like cheese . It is a really strong bid to smoke , one joint and that's it for 2 hours , really creative . I wouldn't grow this strain again due to the sheer amount of time that goes into it , not to mention the extra nutes and electricity , but I will keep some back as it is a lovely experience. I also used a pollinator machine and got 30g of hash from my trim which is always a nice bonus . Thanks to valhallas garden, totem and spinner Caribbean for their support during this grow . I may lay low for a while on GD as I had a bit of a scare with an address of a friend accidentally appearing in a photo ,
