Im gonna have to disagree. My first grow was G13 labs PE and they were more difficult than i needed being a noob, and almost discouraged me from growing again. Since then i haven't had any problems with plants other than tangerine dream. which still was easier for me to grow than the PE. I have one PE seed and im going to try another grow with it now that im more experienced. Being a noob though and my first grow the plant had a lot of deficiencies and when i fed it more it burnt easy. Not to mention it hermied. The easiest strain for me to grow was DNA genetics "chocolope", and second easiest was paradise seeds "wappa". Both were killer buds and were as easy as you explained above about the PE.
lol now I will have to disagree with you, I have a very similar story, except my tangerine dream didnt even sprout!! The G 13 labs is still in my line up because of exactly what the OP said. I have a few other strains in there as well from rare dankness and flying dutchmen that was gifted to me....but the P.E. Flowers faster than the others, i CANNOT burn this plant, pineapple punch from Flying Dutchman does not like as much nutes as this grapefruit cross, but the F.D. P.P packs on trichs at a rate that the G 13 LABS P.E. cant keep up with at the start. As for the comment about light leaks....I can only hope thats true considering i just came down stairs and half my plastic was lose around my basement window!!!!
Got me stressin bad....on track to put up my biggest harvest yet....I really hope that 30-1hr of exposure 4weeks in is not enough to cause me any harm....but to be honest i have been wondering about that window...hasnt giving me any problems until now....Has anyone caught a natural early morning natural light leak before?? I dont deal with them often so im not sure if im over thinking this or if i am fine.....the old cross your fingers is probably going to be my biggest answer i would assume but just wanted to know if anyone else could share their unfortunate story of similar light leak story. Thanks
