It starts out as a beautiful seedling-it has really unique leaves. This is actually a GSC trait that some plants have-they are one plant that I can actually identify during the veg stage because of their pretty leaves. But the effects from this NSFSHEEESH are the best I've had in years-it really stands out. It's probably very potent, but it has a really positive/productive/zero anxiety high, and it gives me that "headband" feeling. You really notice it if you've been vaping something else all day, and then you switch to this strain, and it totally wakes you up. I need to weigh out everything today, now that I finally finished trimming, but the NSFSHEEESH is definitely the best producer of this group too and it has very little larf-even the larf low down on the branches was rock hard.

Sounds vary interesting how do you think it would work on pain?

I have such high hopes for these

One more quick question did you grow that organically?

Nice!!I love Panama Red. I actually have some on Pre-Order right now from Snow High. Snow High knows a lot about medical strains and he says Panama Red is one of his favorites because it has a large concentration of some of the harder to find cannabinoids.

The NSFSHEEESH has been pretty good for my arthritis pain, but not as good as some strains. It's basically 80% + Girl Scout Cookies, so it doesn't have the terpenes that my favorite medical strains have. I really like the elite Chem cuts for pain management-like Chem D and Stardog-Corey H. I'd love to cross the Panama Red with some of those once I have the seeds going next year.

No, I'm not growing organically right now indoors. Right now I'm using Maxibloom with a few organic biostimulants, like Spirulina, Aloe, Barley Malt, etc, thrown in. I like to keep an active rhizosphere (in coco coir) because I feel that the secondary metabolites that are produced in the root zone help stimulate essential oil and terpene production. I also try to keep the EC as low as I can without negatively impacting growth. I think it works well-the Sour D from my last grow still just reeks, that's some of the best herb I've ever grown too. That's also a good medical strain.

I have been searching for years for this strain and then a very good guy on here @Doug Dawson hooked me up with a way of getting these and sour D is my son's favorite how is it to grow Bruce Banner number one and Gorilla Glue number four have been great for pain for me

That's awesome! It's good to keep around a cut that works for you, even while searching for something that works better. I'm always looking for the best pain relieving strains too, but I'm sure I'll always keep around a good Sour D. I also find GG4 works well for pain-I really like that cut too.

Oh I wish I had them strains hanging around unfortunately I don't have the capability of keeping clones or Cuts around so I do a lot of seeds when I can get them

Yeah our lovely community here basically took my grow setup to the next stratosphere for my B-day

Do you mind questions about lights ?by the looks of it you use hps

Actually, these were grown under a Mars Hydro FC-6500. This was my third grow under LED, before that I tried CMH but I used HPS with great success for years. Awesome when people here come through for other growers, once I start making seed I'll be sure to share some with you since I'm always focused on the pain relief aspect as well.

Thanks for that and that sounds good to me

Their lights are doing well for me. The buds look really good on my FC-3000 grow too, I'll be updating that thread this morning. The very first grow in this thread was under a MedicGrow Fold-8 and that fixture did awesome for me too. I love these big bar lights-the footprint is so nice and even. These LEDs work so well, I wonder what the next big advancement in grow lighting will be like? Hopefully the scientists at Samsung have something cool up their sleeves!

That's good to hear I'm pretty new to all this internet stuff this is the first form I've ever been on and I jumped on I guess you called a thread about Mars Hydro issues they were having unimpressed by the company's response so it's really not an issue with their lights it's more with their warranty office I guess and then I learned people get mad on here and say a whole bunch of stuff that just ain't right lol

Yeah, I've read some of those threads too. I guess I'm lucky I've never had an issue with my light, so I have no idea what the warranty process is like. A lot of problems I've seen has been with the connectors, so I check those regularly to make sure they are tight-and a lot of other brands use the same Chinese connectors so I don't think that issue is just a Mars issue. I hope to use this light for years, and then hopefully there will be some cool new technology for us. These lights are such big chunks of Aluminum, I really hope we are able to recycle them! I'm going to feel really bad if this thing ends up in a landfill eventually lol.

Well with their lights producing Bud like you're showing I can understand why people are getting them and with my family here and my family on this site they are dragging me into the 21st century so I am running and trying to catch up on a lot of Technology

First I have to say that i have really enjoyed following this thread. A lot of good info in here and Im definitely gonna check out the nsfsheeesh in a future grow.
I was recently given some left over maxi grow and maxi bloom by someone who finished up a grow. I just popped a Killer A5 Haze seed from Ace and it has sprouted as of this morning. I thought I might give the maxi series a try with this grow. I currently have a Panama from Ace in week 6 flower using Jacks and I am comfortable using Jacks but since the maxi was free.......Hey why not.
My question is have you used both the grow and bloom throughout a grow? Seems like I've seen a bunch of threads in these forums of folks using the bloom only for the entire grow. Also seems like I have read that the bloom doesn't have any micros in it? What are your thoughts about using the grow and bloom?

That's an awesome light Jeff! Have you grown any plants under it yet? When I first switched to LED I was shocked at the growth I was seeing once I got the magnesium levels tuned in, especially during the stretch phase. You are going to LOVE the results you get with that light!
