Ok so sorry I have missed a couple weeks - I was busy harvesting and drying and trimming the blueberry and the og Kush. They are both FANTASTIC! They also both make amazing rosin which I have been taking advantage of pretty frequently.
It’s like if I drank over concentrated squash. You get used to the concentrated taste and then go back to normally concentrated squash and it seems super weak. That’s essentially how I feel about the terps of rosin compared to flower - not that I don’t smoke or love flower, I do. It’s just one you pop you can’t stop as they say!
Aaanyway
So I left these ladies for a while - over Xmas etc and tbh they have been PROPERLY abused. I thought I had them hooked up to a dripper but it must have clogged so they weren’t getting fed or watered for a while.
I just have been watering daily Since I got home and they have been much better. These guys are some strong genetics. I havnt abused them to the point I thought they would die like the critical orange punch but they have been abused for sure.
Since I was feeding daily it probably took them about two or three days to get back to normal and stop eating the nutrients in the bottom leaves then shedding them. That’s all stopped and the buds got huge.
One plant may well have the biggest buds I have grown yet! Not the hugest harvest I don’t think. Although the flowers are SUUUPER dense. In fact I had to stake the plants with cut in half bamboo stakes because they couldn’t take their own weight and one of the main colas fell over.
I can’t get over how dense they are.
Also the smell is incredible. It’s not super over powering so as soon as you open the tent it stinks but when I rub a bud it smells like rotting lemons or something. It’s incredibly citrusy and actually really reminds me of the smell of super lemon haze when it’s been dried and cured. It’s very nice.
I really hope it tastes like it smells because I love love love the flavour profile of super lemon haze but i am not a fan of hazes. I don’t really like the sativa leaning hybrids. Definitely more of an indica man so I think if it tastes how it smells and acts like any other indica then we are in business and I could see me growing it again.
It will definitely add an amazing citrusy fruitiness to my collection of flavour profiles 😀
Again I believe I have two different phenos as they look totally different. It seems to be the case every time with autos. I don’t mind this though tbh, some people do but it gives me a little variety within the variety.
The first plant is super dense as I said and the second plant looks as If it’s been abused a little more than the first. Looks a bit more rugged and rough. Both smell great though so I’ll just press the ugly looking one.
I must admit I am pretty chuffed. I have a Mars hydro ts-1000 to test. Should be pretty interesting actually because I used a ts-600 for quite a while and I also use a tsl-2000. Should be interesting to the see the middle model. I set aside a small tent, fan/filter and some nice zamnesia seeds or I still have lots of Fastbuds seeds knocking about. I have a pack of gorilla cookies I have been meaning to grow so we will see what I go with!! Massive thanks to Mars Hydro for putting their trust in me! Hopefully I don’t disappoint. I must admit, it’s actually really interesting talking to the guy about what products they are about to release as well. I’ll be REALLY very interested in the next product he was talking about!
I just received a message from someone at mars hydro saying they would like me to work with them which would be ace. I'm a cheapo so iv used their stuff for basically my whole grow career and have done a bloody good job too I just say!
@SwissKush,that’s awesome! One of mine looks a bit straggley and it getting a beautiful fade going now, reminding me of trees in the autumn! The other one has literally just started to colour up on the very tips of the leaves. I do leave a window open at night so when the lights go out at 7am they get that 10 or so degrees temp swing. I find that, in combination with feeding water only gives plants a real nice fade. Yeh the haze smell has piqued my interest for sure. I’m not a big fan of the effects of SLH but the taste is just fabulous. Hopefully you are right about the dankness!
@Rabidreject, they are certainly super dense! My fastbuds Afghan is in box in my outdoor bovine barn on mtn, has been in the cold the entire season so the buds aren't as large as their Gorilla Cookies when grown in the summer, but the density is 3x as much! Mine are turning purple because of the cold, its looking like ill go for about 105-110 days! Your buds are really nice size! The haze smell excites me, usually means its dank as shit. I hope to grow it again inside, but have other Kush's in line first. Rock on bro
@SwissKush,OH GOOD!!! I thought my nose was at the total other genetic spectrum for a second there! Iv def never grown such fat dense buds before either. Really lookin GB forward to these two!
@DEVS_GENETICS,Yeah, I just had another ;look actually - def both in flower just one is ahead of the other - as long as you have the space, bigger is better in my opinion,!
@DEVS_GENETICS, yea, thinking about it iv noticed similar. One of them is throwing out a lot of pistols now and is getting bloom only nutes but one of them has less than half the amounts of pistols. They are both still in stretch for sure though.
This next update I do, probably tonight or tomorrow will be my frost flowering entry yeah.
I’m not hugely bothered as I have others in the pipeline due to be finished before them…
They all run at least 1 if not 2 weeks over their suggested time for me anyway
looks good my man, same with mine take forever i thought it was down to my temps early on and a bit of stress. but yeah really dense buds, looking to chop her next fri-sat!!
@DEVS_GENETICS,EXACTLY! I’m bored of growing desert smelling hybrids really. They are nice but these are classic. Same with the OG Kush. Not a huge yielder but the terps, my god, the terps!
