ADD by growdoc a strain in review

[ThePotanist]

I have been smoking a long time and have smoked many a strain but ADD really fits the bil to there description. It was a strain breed for people with ADD and this is great weed to smoke before going to class or studying.

Grown along with a 11 other plants in a 1 gal plant under 400 yeilded just about an oz untoped in regualr soil with just fish emulsion and Alaskan moorbloom. I no longer have a scale to way with but it was 3/4 of a regular size mason jar. was grown untoped. was veged for about 30 days in a solo cup then flower in 1 gal for about 57 days.

The high was nice with a good body tingle that left me hyper focused on the book i was reading and was amazed at how clear the high was. It allowed me to focus deeply as I was on another plain with the book. So long as the topic is interesting I could see this being very useful for college people and anyone looking to learn I intend to smoke it when I do my next session of Rosetta stone as I am trying to learn spanish.

For people with A.D.D. These really is a great strain. I have been smoking for 3 years now specifically for my ADD so I am glad to said growdoc really hit the nail on the head.

The taste on this strain was pretty mellow witha mixed berry and skunk pallet. very little expansion and incredible smooth. If you suffer from ADD you cant go with out this strain.

Great review and good information. Would you say for ADD/concentration this is the best strain you have come across?

Thanks again.

I'm also curious about something else. I see you let it go in 12/12 less than 60 days.

Did you check the trichs and were they at least cloudy or even some amber?

On a side note, I see you pulled an ounce out of a 1 gallon container. I've started plants in two gallon containers and seemed like the root structure outgrew that space within a month or so... Why do you think the plant didn't become root bound with so little space? I'd be happy with a yield of an ounce, don't need much more but I would never have thought I could get by with less than two gallons... Is there something about the way you grow, maybe that you are growing inside or something that let you do that? If I could get by with a gallon or two I could fit more strains in my garden. But everything I've done so far seems to require 3 minimum, but usually a 5.

Id have to say yield was about 20 to 23 grams and i just check out the pot and root ball. it was dense but not overly and did not appear to be bound im not sure if it was the flush or the starts of root bound but toward the end there was some nitrogen def but i think that was more the flush.

The trichs were 90% cloudy maybe 5% amber 5% clear so it could have gone another week but the hairs were half changed and i was running out of some my last jar so i cut her down. and this is the best by far in the ways of concentration would highly recommend it it is by far the best and ADD was the hole reason i started smoking i found that day after smoking im am a uch calmer person and much more able to focus on the task at hand.

As per my grow method i try to keep it simple. veg is a 4ft t8 2 bulb that feed my clones moms and seedlings. I give a lil bit of fish emulsion and sometime if it needs it a lil gh micro to catch and micro nutes I might be missing out on. THey are flowered under a 400watt HTG brand hps feed a lil bit of granular 10-20-20 bloom booster along with with some alaskan moorbloom that has been phed to about 6.2 is where i am for. everyonce in a blue moon maybe once per flower cycle ill take a calcium magnesium and zinc tablet that is for human consumption and disolve it in some water and feed to my plants with there regular nutes. I use regular tap water that i dont even ph half the time I only ph my nutes when i feed.

currently I have madness, Unkown solider(think its another pheno of nl5xBB from nirvana) citrhal hashplant, nevils haze and strawberry haze and they all seem to be doing fine in 1 gals. Haven't you seen what dr green is doin with his cfl sogs in like a liter of soil its awesome. hope this helps

No, haven't seen it, but am curious. I wonder if growing outside makes any difference? I wish I could get by with 2 gal pots. Surely those could produce an ounce plus. But I just thought it was natural that a plant is going to outgrow even two gallons. I usually use foxfarm and it has a lot of things that might promote root growth, don't know. I'm tempted now to believe I could get by with two gal pots just by vegging 2-3 weeks in 16 ounce cups, move to a gallon and after first month of flower go to 2 gallons and finish it.

virgin he does it in 16 oz of soil, he takes a 20 oz pop bottle and cuts off the top for about 16 oz, and yields give or take 7~, his best was 21grams on one plant that way! no veg SOG

 

[VirginHarvester]

Yeah, so Potanist, did you grow from seed or clone?

I have been under the impression that the root system eventually ruins drainage and the soil ends up needing more water because by compacting in a small container soil loses its retention and becomes hard like "rocks" or something.

What I am confused by is my experience of what seemed like plants outgrowing even a 3 gallon pot. Maybe they weren't actually getting root bound but instead showing some other kind of deficiency? I just remember one particularly large skunk that was going terribly in about 6 gallons and I flushed and flushed without improvement and then transplanted into the ground and immediately it came back to life all the sick symptoms disappeared. This was a very big plant though.

It would be great to produce 3 foot plants that stay healthy to harvest in as small as two gallon containers but just thought by nature their is no way. A mistake I might be making is starting them out in a small cup them going to 2 gallons after a couple weeks. Maybe I really need to force them to outgrow a 16 ounce cup, then go to 1 gallon, then after stretch into a two gallon if needed. Obviously smaller than 2 gallon works since you did it but I just haven't been successful yet.

VirginHarvest - I have a solution for you. They're called Smart Pots, and they run about $3.50 each where I'm at.

They allow you to grow the plant for twice as long. A 1 gallon Smart Pot allows approximately 2 months of growth, defying the "1 gallon per month" rule many growers use. they make them from 1 gallon up to 10.

They allow better airation of the soil and this means the plant grows a healthier root structure. Instead of the roots growing out and hitting the side of the pot, then growing down and spiraling at the base of your container, the roots are air pruned as they reach the sides of the pot, encouraging more "feeder" roots to grow.

They're a bit on the spendy side, I'd suggest phasing them in if you can't buy all you need at once, but they're worth every penny.

Good luck!
