Delicious La Diva Review

So after drying out all plants here's what we got:
LST Plant#1= 20.3g
LST Plant#2= 20.9g
LST Plant#3= 22.4g
Regular Plant= 19.3g
Topped Plant= 38.5g
Total= 121.4g

Smoke Report:
So a little over a week of curing and I couldn't wait any longer... I broke off a small sample... The bud was very sticky with resin out of the jar and made everything smell like pine. Very nice aroma IMO. I packed a nice size bowl in my Bong and took 2 good rips. The smoke was extremely smooth and the taste was awsome. You can definitely taste the berry infusion. The high took a little while to come. At first I was feeling a little disappointed and started to load another bowl, then half way through loading it I was like OMG Im so Freaken high!!! Definitely a good up beat high that allowed me to function through the rest of the afternoon. It lasted for about an Hour and a Half then started to fade away slowly. My fiance also enjoyed the smoke very much... Going to take another rip right before bed tonight... Cheewhoo!!!

Final Word:
Over all La Diva gave me exactly what I wanted and more. I reached my target goal of a QP and then some in a little over 60 days from seed to harvest. La Diva was a fast growing, hearty plant. Although a little sensitive to nutes, it recovered very quickly to topping and LST. There werent any problems other than a small calcium deficiency in one plant and a short term case of herminess in another. Both seem to work out in the end. The smoke is amazingly smooth, and the taste...one of a kind. The high comes on slow and then slaps you in the face with an awesome up beat high that doesnt leave you sitting in the couch pondering the mysteries of life. I would definitely recomend this strain to anyone looking for a fast harvest that doesnt sacrifice quality. I will be growing this again in the near future.

Ive also found that topping autos, although you run a higher risk of turning your plant hermy, will yield a lot more (almost 2x) bud than LST or Regular plants in the same amount of time. I do recomend to do it early in the veg phase to allow maximum veg growth. La Diva bounced back with noticiable growth only 1 day after.

The T8 Litro lights also worked great. I had a decent amount of wieght using this light although I do see a big difference in the density of the bud. The lights ran very cool and they ran silent as hell. Not to mention cheap on the wallet as well.

Well hope you all enjoyed my grow. Thanks for all the comments and support. Alohaz
I know I'm a little late on this post but I haven't been on RIU for awhile. awesome report and great journal. the weight on the topped auto is a shock to me. didn't think it would be the biggest yielder but the weight ended up being significantly more than the lst and regular style of growing.

anyway, +rep and stay irie :joint:

wow
and there was me
not believing in my autos
and thinking perhaps it was all a myth
and all the excitement was for nothing!
Mine have just started to bud!
I thought I'd better leave them alone: no crop top prune etc
becoz they'd be so small
now I am wishing I had LST'd them earlier!
and U say TOP THEM?
but everyone else says DONT! (but now I wanna TOP the next batch for sure!) :)
lol
