Maui Waui Nirvana

I had a few problems happen during this grow that I think set me back. 1 - I had a poor soil mixture compared to my previous grows, I did not amend the soil as heavily as normal. 2- I used plastic pots which really do seem to inhibit root growth. 3- There was a major ph in balance in the soil early on and the plants required a good flushing. When they went into bloom they were nitrogen deficient almost immediately. 4- The plants were not getting enough calcium in the soil mix and even with my amendments to the nutrient mix they got a fairly bad calcium deficiency. 5- Thrips came in during the last couple weeks and started gnawing on my leaves. They weren't able to establish themselves but they were poised to. I still ended up with some nice buds that are ready for curing, that have a great smell and are fairly dense. I recommend Maui to anyone looking for a nice buzzy Sativa that is easy to grow and smells amazing and unique. All the phenos I haver seen have been fairly consistent. With the exception being terpene and resin levels seem to vary. All in all it was still a productive grow and I learned alot. The plants did just as well under the HLG 600 R spec led as they did under my 1000w hps which is awesome. I will update with cured bud pics when they are ready.
