Hey
@Zollies_zn - I'm really digging this purple too!
I feel like cannabis growing is, for me, a ride I've been waiting for over 20 years for.
I did a haphazard grow a long time ago, in my parents house, that was discovered. But I've been a long time cannabis consumer, and the ability to now legally grow this impressive and fun to grow plant is a dream come true.
And with the ability now to choose from so many strains, with so many different levels and types of effect, flavors, intensities, smells, and colors, so many different experiences... It's just amazing.
I definitely wanted to try some CBD strains. I medicate a few different common ailments, and I'd love to find just the right chemovars to help me in whatever situation I need.
I'm really happy with how each of the three strains I grew in my first grow went, but I'm particularly enjoying the Northern Lights. I can't wait to try so many more, though! I'm looking to Mephisto next I think. I want to try to maximize my return with solid genetics, and they seem to be a popular choice.
In regards to the stunting of the Amnesia, it was pretty stunted before I topped it. It was probably a mistake to top it at that point, but I could see how small and thin it was, and thought the gain of experience would be worth any marginal loss. It has always been a very dark green plant, and I think there may have been a hot spot in the Fox Farms Happy Frog I planted it in, and it became N toxic.
I've also had for a while a small number of fungus gnats, which haven't helped anything. I've top dresses with EWC and neem meal and it's keeping their numbers down so far. It's been a struggle because I've found it hard to let the whole tent dry out at the same time, with such a varied lineup and young plants.
