Strain
THC - 15 - 20%
75% Indica/ 25% Sativa
I quite enjoyed this grow. Smooth and no major issues with the automated watering/drainage system.
Good plant genetics but cant say the same about the autoflowering side. 1 plant failed to flower despite waiting for almost 4 weeks when the other 3 are in full bloom, which forced me to change the light timing from 20/4 to 12/12.
They grew like typical indica. Responded very well to LST and defoliation. They rebounded back fast despite aggressive training and even when I accidentally cut the main stem.
The terpene profile during bloom was quite pleasant. By week 5 of flowering, strong sweet and mango smell.But not too overwhelming that the air filter cant handle.
It was monsoon season where I live during mid bloom period and the AC couldn't bring down the RH effectively. And I didnt have a dehumidifier at the time. This definitely affected the first 3 plants that got harvested. Most buds are loose and airy. But the one plant that failed to flower by itself escaped the high RH period and the bud structure is more dense and solid. And that one plant yield came up to 230g! All together the total yield is 718g. How??!! That's just insane. They are just autos.
Harvested the first 3 plants when the majority of trichomes were cloudy and some amber. Did wet trim and dried for about 4 days. Then placed them in Grove bags and the RH was at 65. After bagging them, if the RH goes more than 65, I take them out of the bag and spread them on a tray to dry. Once the RH stabilizes at 60-62, I stop burping and let Grove bags to continue curing. Hoping this would help to maintain the terpene profile later on. The last plant I harvested, decided to do dry trim instead and dried for about 8 days.
After curing for about a month, the buds appear more dense and thick. Used a dry herb vape for first smoke test. Earthy and pine aroma with a hint of spices. Cheerful and giggly initially. Very pleasant high. After an hour or so, it turns to a more relaxed and calm effect and perfect to fall asleep. I really like this strain. Perfect for evenings after a long days work. The THC is not excessively high like the more newer strains and to me this is exactly what I want.
I'll be taking few months off from growing to focus on other things in life. Thanks to the ones that have been following my grow.
