Mixed feelings about this strain, I probably won't grow it again but it was still an interesting first grow for autos.
Pros:
Fast flowering, no hermies.
Good potency.
Cons:
Very unstable both in appearance and smell/taste.
Only 4/6 seeds seeds produced healthy plants (1 was mutated, 1 did not germinate).
Susceptible to bud rot.
Well that was an interesting, but also quite disappointing first auto run!
I do feel the genetics for this strain are too unstable, the terp profiles are really all over the place and the purple colour is not stable either (no big deal there). The buds are airy but the potency is good.
The plants were dried slowly over 14 days to give the terps the best chance to develop and there was definitely a big improvement over the smell of the growing plants which could be pretty disgusting at times.
Some plants do have a somewhat Lemony smell but overall they are quite random. Strangely enough the plants that remained green seem to have been the healthiest of the bunch.
At the end of the day I still ended up with some potent weed to smoke but it could have been much better. Perhaps this kind of variability is to be expected with Autoflowers, I am very new to all this but I have some more strains to try so time will tell...
Thanks for taking the time to view my diary, I wish you all the best with your own grows 👍🌿
Nice plants. I know you may be disappointed by the overall grow and quality for this strain but you haven’t done bad at all IMHO
Plants look healthy but maybe it’s because the pot size is so small for them. Maybe 1 or 3 gal pots would yielded a bigger harvest and give them the ability to develop a better root zone n ward off diseases through increase nutrient uptake n metabolic processes
I’m still excited to see how these turn out as the purple phenols certainly look delicious.
Do all of them have the same smell or are the purple phenos a little different from the rest?

@Wadadli_Kush, Thanks for the comment.
I do agree the pot size is very small but that is part of the challenge for me. Unfortunately I am very short on space so nano grows are pretty much my only option although I may also try a grow with just 1-2 plants and train them heavily to stay low. It's all a learning experience at the moment! My previous (and first ever) grow of Maple Leaf Indica really surprised me because those plants went through hell being defoliated/topped/dried out all during flowering and they still made it to harvest just fine. When I did chop them down the root balls were in remarkably good shape, no sign of any root loss or anything and they were actually in slightly smaller pots than these believe it or not.
With regard to the smell that is actually my least favourite part of this grow so far - the terpene profiles of all of these plants are just completely random there is no consistency whatsoever. Growing the plants all together with direct comparisons it really seems that it's a highly unstable strain. None of the healthy plants smell like lemon/citrus at all, and perhaps the best looking plant (back left) actually smells really horrible - it's just like raw liver/blood.
I will withhold my final judgement until after harvest and drying, but if the terpene profiles of the growing plants are anything to go by I am going to end up with 5 different types of random weed from a grow of a single strain.
Flowers are amazing, and the colors are awesome 😍 excellent job! 👏
Good luck with your growth🍀
