Thanks for taking all the time you did, babe. Much appreciated. This is the kind of response I'm really hoping to get. I like to hear reports about performance in all the pertinent areas; it really gives me a much better insight into a strain, which is what's going to sell me on choosing a new one, in the end.
A couple questions: what was the humidity like during September where you're at? And was 27 (I'm assuming you mean Celsius) a typical temperature for you to reach? I haven't seen anything over 22 in the past two weeks, and there were only a couple of days like that. Most hovered between the 15 and 20 mark, with the nights going down to anywhere between 8 and 12. What were your nights like? Obviously I'm curious because of how these things factor into your lack of mold.
Also, when you say 'Happy Frog,' are you talking about this:
Happy Frog Soil Conditioner? And can you say how much of an effect it had? I.e., having a grow where you've used the same strain or - even better - having used clones from the same mother as you did this year, and having
not used it, so that you have a point of reference for comparison? I would think that my use of composted cowshit would have a similar effect, but it might be something I'd consider looking into adding in, if the effect of it was going to be pronounced enough to justify it. And out of curiosity, how much is it a bag, and how far does a bag go?
And one last comment: always take your main colas and heavy buds before the small stuff.
Always. As I'm sure you know, the plant will put the energy into fattening up the smaller ones on the plant, and if you have good weather, it can definitely make a difference in your final numbers. Mind you, stressing the plant is definitely a factor, too. I wish I could put my plants in my backyard, so I could pick at them every day, but that's just not something I'd even think about taking the chance on doing.
