Run #2 - Gorilla Guh-lue

Lots of pheno variability, but that's not unusual given its unstable phenotype, being the child of a herm. Fortunately no herming at my end which seems to be their biggest risk, though I will say my grow was tuned in to all hell. Saw maybe to gnats the whole grow, no mould or mildew, no light leaks, so they are given every chance to thrive. Huge variations in terps, one is pure gas, the purplest girl has a bunch of passionfruit character, and the two fat girls have all sorts of stuff going on. Basically ended up taking everything tall off all the plants as all were pushing into amber and I don't want any more than 5% on this strain, which feels like a good call based on the few little nugs I've been able to dry in the vape and get a hit off. Such a poor imitation of what they'll be when cured but they're delicious and I'm baaaaaked. Super balanced high, little to no paranoia, lots of mental creativity but at night seems to lean more into its indica side and bring on deeeep sleep. I really like this. I've got 8 more seeds, so I've popped four more, they will go in a little veg cupboard until these finish and come out of drying in a couple weeks. Now that they are all exposed again I've got them back up around 35 DLI which should bring them through pretty quickly. There are loads of big white heads down there just needing to be ripened. Hoping they can come good in about a week or so, then what's left here will get ice watered and a day in the dark then all come down. I estimate there is 1.5-2 times what I took if is what is still left in there. I'm guessing what's hanging is gonna bring 6-8 oz, so there could be 20 oz in there once the stuff down bottom ripens up. That one long stem weighs a pound now with no fan leaves and hollow stems, so it's gonna be good for 3 oz alone when it dries. Really really excited about the result. You can probably see in that photo on the buds as well as my gloves, they are literally dripping. Super impressed with everything I've seen from CKS. I also made my first ever run of bubble. Didn't get a lot of 73, but a bit and a bunch of 25 too. This was just 4 oz of leaves, a lot of it fan leaves that were frosted, so obviously came out quite green. All my popcorn from this run though will be bubbled to make some real quality without any chlorophyll, so good to get a practice run in. Actually really happy with results for a first time. Got very little cooking grade in my 160 which I take as a good sign there's mainly just good stuff in my medicine :). Got them drying on card above the dehuey in the side room then want to try the 73 thru a dab rig and see if I've got good melt. I don't really weigh my wet stuff, I'm only interested in what I'm holding at the other end that is dry, beautifully trimmed and ready for curing :) New plants will be under Vipar KS5000, really can't wait to see what she can do, next run will be these genes under excellent light so I can only imagine what they'll look like now... Will keep things posted if we run into next week which we likely will if these low ones take as long as I think they will.
