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.

Reviews. Nutrient
I use hard water and find CalMag essential.
Seems to work well. I like the ease. Smells like literal shit when top dressing, goes away after a couple days.
First time using Silica, don't know, didn't hurt.
Reviews. Lamp
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.

Day 121 Harvest I never saw any amber trichomes so finally chopped it. It didn't seem like it was going to evolve further and at 17 weeks I was increasingly worried about mold despite good conditions. There was never any mold at all. The yield of 11.3oz (330g) could have been greater because I trimmed too aggressively clipping mostly every leaf and stems, opening up buds to really get inside and only leave the best behind. I feel this contributed to ugly buds that are airy due to that trimming. There are lots of brown pistils covering most flowers. The trim is therefore high quality and there's about 10oz of it but that's from all 4 plants. The delicious smell at its peak is mostly gone. After drying some of the smell returned but it was never anywhere near what it smelled like while growing which I found disappointing. I tried curing both in Mason jars and in Grove Bags. The bags work nice and are less work. They seem to retain the smell and did a decent job curing, I would use them again.
