OLD REVIEWS Delicious seeds la frutta di venus unstable.. Others doing well..

[nikki2087]

So I got half dozen autos going, 2 Delicious seeds la Bella afrodita doing absolutely wonderful, started flowering in under 30 days and thickening by the day, got some Mi5 going and we all know its great but then there is Delicious seeds la frutta di venus, got 2 going now, one that did autoflower on time but is a wimp of a plant, small and deformed looking since day one and the other plant looks great, large and healthy but it's not flowering! She has pre flowered, did that about day 20ish but that's it she remains in her vegative state now even approaching day 40, figure in few weeks when others are done will switch her to 12/12 but wanted to get the word out that I would not reccomend this strain, out of 2 one is stunted and deformed and the other not an auto, I still have one more seed I will pant eventually and hopefully she does well but will never buy this strain again.

You may want to try a light schedule of 20/4 or 18/6. Have you been feeding them nutes?

Whatever the case, thanks for the heads up.

I have fed a bit of bloom nutes, they are in 3 gallon fabric pots with fox farms ocean forest, the plants them selves are healthy no sign if any any difficency just the la frutta di venus appears unstable, the one that is flowering has been small and deformed since it sprouted and the other while she is healthy, I mean she looks great, beautiful green, good size and bud sites every where, she just is not flowering with the rest of em.. The la Bella afrodita is really great, bigger and better than even the mi5, I have grown lotta these autos, Dinafem roadrunner 2, white widow, royal queen northern lights, WOS bigbudxnorthern lights, sugar mango ryder, haze, etc.. I have grown under hps, mh and cfl, have used 18/6, 20/4, 24/0 etc, this is nothing I did I know just not a stable autoflower strain IMO

It's upset me cause I had 3 free seeds of the frutta di venus but I had lost em so I ordered more n actually pad for em this time and they were a rip off, when u pay 10-12$ a seed the shot should be stable, I have seen good things from delicious seeds and I know they are good but this batch was not and just wanted to pass that along

Well now the la frutti that wasn't flowering has really purked with buds every where, and though most seed banks state this strain finishes 55-65 days from seed herbies has it right stating 55-65 days from flower, I still have the dud which did flower right away but has been stunted and isn't growing much, the other that has just come into flower is very nicely sized and very healthy, so I still have another seed from this strain, gonna see how the buds turn out and pop another one, will then do a proper strain report, so far I would still say its unstable as I have a stunted plant who flowered in bout 21 days and then the other which is just coming into flower past day 50

Little update, both la frutta di venus plants are still going, got one absoulutely beauty and then the burnt up runt, growing these ladies under cfl so maybe that's why they are so slow, I tried hanging one of my 1000w mh/hps in my new grow space but even turned down to 50% it is still much too hot, I bought the dual cool tubes 1000w when my space was 9x7 but now down to a closet with just 2x3 of space so no biggy, the lades do have about 210w of mixed cfls so they should do fine, I am gonna buy an led or 2 soon as I can sell off my 2 hps/mh setups.. Hey is anyone interested in an ipower 1000w mh/hps cool tube setup? Paid $252 a piece and willing to let em go for right at $100 each with extra bulbs!
