Strain
After 4 weeks of cure, I’ve had a chance to sample enough for an honest review. Though I did make a few mistakes in this grow, both plants grew very well and the yield was far more than I expected. Other than having similar bud structures, they turned out much different.
The largest pheno produced lots of huge, beautiful colas that were medium dense, wiry buds typical of a sativa dominant variety. Unfortunately, this monster never developed much of a terpene profile and even at harvest time it only had a very light, slightly pungent vegetal smell. The potency is modest and feels like a 50/50 hybrid that might even have a decent amount of CBD. I’m going to give this one a few more weeks of cure, but if things don’t seem like they improve, I’ll be using this for edibles. It’s possible that it could have developed more terpenes if I let it go another week, but I’m very confident the trichomes were at peak ripeness at the time of harvest. Overall, I give this one 6 stars only because it was a big producer and grew like a champion. It’s just a bummer it turned to be a huge bounty of great looking bud that smells and smokes like Reggie.
The smaller pheno smells like sweet tropical candy and the flavor is the same with hint of pine. The buzz to me also feels like a 50/50 hybrid, but far more potent that her bigger sister. I’m very pleased with the quality of this pheno so I’ll give it 8 stars.
In conclusion, it was a fun grow and I certainly learned a lot, but likely wouldn’t grow this strain again unless it was from a different breeder. They were both easy to grow and were able to weather my newb mistakes with ease, but the inconsistencies turned me off. I’m sure I’m mostly to blame for lack of quality for the big pheno, but I feel strongly that genetics also had a hand in the result of the final product because both plants were so vastly different despite receiving the same treatment.
