💬 Grower Commentary

“I’ve run this Stardawg cut at least 6 times now – same medium, same nutes, same lights. What changed the game was Optimal Harvest Solutions Dense Max Professional. It doesn’t just swell calyxes – it stacks them and locks in weight. I went from averaging just over 3 oz per plant to 4.5+ oz per plant consistently. Buds are not just bigger – they’re tighter, frostier, and reek louder. This product is now a staple for all my future runs.”
