Hi all! Although I have been growing since 2009, I still consider myself a newbie since I only have 3 grows under my belt. My first grow turned into 3 hermies and about 10 lbs of seeds. That was all on me and my grow team at the time and we had way too many problems that stressed out our Thai Sativas that we were trying to grow. Bad strain for a newb to start out with anyway! After that, my husband wouldn't allow me to grow anymore, so I got rid of him and started growing on my own. This time after doing a little better job at research.
My 2nd grow went a lot better. I didn't have impressive results. I only ended up with 2 1/2 oz out of 2 plants grown under a Platinum LED P150. My guess was that there was a lack of light to do well enough to have a decent yield. I wasn't very impressed with the smoke, so I made some edibles out of it, acquired some better product from a friend to smoke, and moved on.
Back in April, I decided to give it another go and started doing a ton of research. I decided to just use 1 of the seeds that I purchased for my 2nd grow that wasn't used yet. This was Sour Kush from Canuk Seeds. This girl was put through hell. Mainlined, LSTd, Supercropped, and eventually put into a SCROG. She responded very well. I vegged her for 6 weeks under my Platinum LED P150, then transferred to my small 2x3 grow setup for flowering under a 600 watt HPS dimmed to 400 watts for the next 11 weeks. She was grown in Happy Frog soil in a 7 gallon fabric pot, fed Botanicare nutrients including a couple of their supplements, and flushed for the final 2 weeks. pH was kept between 6.2 and 6.3. The only real problems I had were temperature and humidity. It was summer in Michigan and temps were very difficult to keep under 85, and humidity under 65% so I kept the fans running 24/7 for the entire flowering period to try to keep those as low as possible. On August 31st, I noticed the trichomes at 10% amber, 10% clear and 80% cloudy. Since this is my first post, I am only able to attach 1 pic from the day before harvest. Otherwise I would attach more. It took 10 days of drying before jarring up to cure. After curing for 1 1/2 months, I weighed out at just over 8 oz, and I finally had the chance to try some in my vape. I was entirely unimpressed. Very little flavor, and effects that only lasted an hour after vaping .25 g, that's all that my Crafty vape will hold.
I know that a lot of people have something against Canuk Seeds, so is it the genetics, or is it me? I want to switch to a US breeder anyway, but I still have lots of Canuk Seeds in my fridge. I don't want to just toss them, but definitely going to try a different breeder. Looking at Bodhi for my next go round. Looking for any advice, opinions, whatever. I take criticism rather well and tend to learn from it so negative comments are welcome as well.
Thanks everyone,
