Thanks for the kind words brotha! I really appreciate that
Well, to answer the questions as a whole, I think that the Karma gear worked well with me, the plants and I seemed to agree on most things through out the grow. I sometimes have my not so great grows but we all get a little better every harvest. I found that not following any feed charts or routines will produce the best outcomes. The plants will tell you what they need and you will be able to see what they want visually (or in some cases the gut feeling, I go with my gut feeling most of the time.. as when I second guess myself I seem to do something wrong). All the stars were aligned with this grow and I'm very happy with the way things are turning out. Taking 5 minutes a day to just look over the plants, (stems, discolors, feeling if the stems are firm or soft, leaf tips and margins, ROOT ZONE! (huge factor) ), if something is not right in their feedings, they will let you know. It might be just one leaf that looks a little funny and hard to spot, but when you see it and then you ask yourself, is this a deficiency or nutrient tox- you can then take the proper steps to fix it and keep them happy plants. Woops, kind of gave a longer answer than intended lol-
The smell is GREAT. It smells of sour diesel with out the deisel. Like a candy similar to sour patch kids with a lemon undertone. It's very strong smelling! The best smell in the garden
