Return to Growing (after a long hiatus)

Yumbolt x Banana grew like a heavy indica, very short in stature and incredibly bushy. She needed a proper defoliation, however me easing myself back into growing made me think to let her bush out a little with a light defoliation - this, I am convinced, lowered the yield potential. Lesson learnt to go with my gut next time. Very nice strain, however very prone to foxtailing. Out of all four, she perhaps foxtailed the worst, however the end result is still rather nice. There is a sweet hazy banana taste on the inhale, with a spicy banana/fruit taste on the exhale. It's rather relaxing, however not sleepy. I think the best way I can describe it, is rather than relaxed it makes me 'calm'. Anxiety is removed almost immediately, and negative thoughts find incredible difficulty in even approaching my mindstate. It's a great smoke, both tasty and perfect for a weekend or winding down in the evening. She grew VERY short though, with an absolutely minimal stretch. This is something that should be taken into account when growing, as I had to place something under the pot just to raise her a bit.
