I can't recommend growing this primarily because I have no idea what it was. The going theory is that it may have been a hand-me-down of Power Stout, by mdanzig, but that's just because those are the only genetics I could find for the four strains that came in the bulk seed bag. Regardless, the harvest was pretty sad on this one. It was a stunted little plant that never made it above 2ft tall, and came up with a very larfy 40g of untrimmed, wet weed.

Nutrients
Mis-clicked - really need to make it easier to unselect nutrient brands from grows.
Easy to use, but I have nothing to judge this against, so far.

Does what it's intended to do - fixes cal-mag issues.

I wouldn't recommend growing this strain - whatever it was. I'm moving on to professional genetics from really real seedbanks and breeders.

I really need to get everything transplanted into the five gallon pots, but I've been exhausted this week, and keep putting it off. They could use a little more time anyway - none of them are going dry or getting root bound, a few more days won't hurt (though I'll probably do it tomorrow anyway). At least now the light is on adjustable height ratchets, so I don't need plant risers any more. Just a quick word of advice though - if you can afford anything better than a Vivosun tent, avoid them like the plague. I went with Vivosun for its budget appeal, knowing that they tend to have light leak issues - I'm an Eagle Scout, I can fix tent fabric - but not expecting the steel tubing that they shipped it with to bend under just the negative air pressure of a 440 cfm fan. Installed the fan and filter, turned it on to low, and watched the tent crumple like a beer can. Now I have to worry about finding a way to get 440 cfm into the tent so it doesn't collapse. I am not a happy grower.

@Garedicus, man dude that's frustrating. Got a small cabinet so can't relate but if ever I upgrade I'll definitely be taking the review into account! Cheers and good luck with it regardless๐Ÿ‘

And this is why reg. Seeds are a bitch. Donโ€™t get me wrong if I had the space for breeding and crossing Iโ€™d love em but without an extra tent, fem. is the only way to go๐Ÿ˜‰. Good luck with the rest of em dude - hopefully you at least get a harvest for your trouble๐Ÿคž๐Ÿ‘Š

@TheBudWhisperer, If nothing else, I can now definitely tell the difference between a male plant and a female plant ๐Ÿ˜†

Hey bro . Goodluck during the flower switch.

@@TheWeedMan, Thanks! I had two go male, so hopefully these two will make it to harvest without herming on me. I have some backup Fastbuds Auto seeds on the way, just in case.

@Dahoola,Thanks! I'll be keeping an eye on your Fastbuds GG grow. GG#12 is one of my favorite uplifting strains, so I'm on the lookout for good GG genetics to work with.

Smoke report on the Green Quack after four days in the jars - smells like green bananas as it's being ground, and a little like bubblegum still, but it's fading. High is very cerebral, like a very strong haze. That was what I liked about the Green Quack we got from the dispensary - that it was a little hazier than your average Green Crack. This stuff is almost psychedelic.๐Ÿ‘

Smoke report: after three days of curing (not a lot, I know), it smells like alfalfa and verdant greenery; and tastes about the same, but with some spicy, doughy hints at the very back end. Effect-wise it's all indica, heavy on the relaxation, couch-lock, dry-eye, and I think would put me to sleep if I had a gram or so, but by brute force, not by putting my mind at ease.

The Green Quack bag seed is now in jars and curing. Total final weight was 14g of bud and 7g of trim, which is already decarbing in preparation for a batch of gummies or brownies or something. Smells like bubblegum, hopefully I'll be able to keep some of that smell throughout curing.

The indica got the chop today, at day 59F. Her trichs were all cloudy and starting to go amber, and it was pretty obvious she was done. The going theory right now is that she was an auto that I stunted the heck out of - she never eclipsed 40cm, she had one main cola that was 1/3 that height at most, and she came to a total wet weight of 40g. Information about the genetics in the seed pack I was planting from are very limited, and the only strain of the four included that I could find any genetics on was Power Stout, which, according to the breeder, hasn't been available for purchase outside of a couple places since 2009, neither of which was my local dispensary, where I got these seeds. It is, however, possible that the dispensary that made the seeds (not where I bought them), having been a medical dispensary pre-rec legalization, had been gifted those original genetics by a patient or came across them as part of a collective, and has been selling them since it became legal for them to do so. Regardless, this is likely my last grow with these seeds, even though I have seven of them left, just because I've been so impressed by the professional genetics in my FastBuds grow - and also because two of these seeds were male, and I'm not looking to run a breeding project with completely unknown and weak genetics.

The stretch is on! The Green Quack was watered and fed her bloom nutes again today, and she's finally starting to stretch some. I discovered that my camera came with Macro and SuperMacro modes and a 24x zoom lens, so I should be set for trich shots when the time comes. Got some nice shots today - and I promise the top on that cover image isn't that bleached in real life, it's just the flash.

Lost another plant today. Bulk Seed 1 is covered in balls, and was taken to the chop. This has been one hell of a rough grow. Starting with three seeds that never made it past cotyledons, having to restart with three new plants 21 days in, while keeping a bag seed in veg and topping it, lollipopping it, and otherwise giving it hell just to get some practice in; then having two of the restarts go male? Brutal. It makes me so jealous of all of the pics posted online by people who "just threw some seeds into a pot on a whim, it's amazing what this plant can do." Well, I'm calling bullshit on those posts. At this point, I'm almost starting to hope that the last two plants also go male or hermie early in the process, so I can just get this stupid grow over with and move on to my second grow, this time with really real genetics - Sideral, from Ripper Seeds.

It looks like all four plants are photoperiod, and all four are just on the cusp of a full blossom. It's at that point where r/microgrowery gets 88 billion posts asking if the plants are male because the little budsite is all swollen for a few days with just the first couple pistils barely peeking out. I won't be following the herd on this one, I've seen enough of these pics to know that if I give them a day or two to be sure, they'll be fully open and I won't need to ask. Still - they could hurry the hell up. I'm usually an extremely patient man, but the last 7 days have been tough.

It's so hard not checking my plants every few hours, now that they're in the dark for 12 hours a day. On the other hand, now I have a really good reason to get up every morning - to go check on my babies and turn their bloom lights on.
Garedicus
Garedicusweek 7
Alright, they made it through their first dark night, and the bloom lights are on now. The two smallest plants have been watered as well, as they were both starting to droop.

Impatience (along with some preflowering bud sites) strikes again! Tonight, for the first time ever, the lights in my tent went out, and will remain out for the next 12 hours. Then, the bloom lights come on. Should be interesting.

Ok, the Green Quack has been transplanted into its five gallon pot. The rest will have to wait until I can afford more dirt. Another bag or two ought to take care of it, especially when heavily mixed with perlite. Have to check the store today and see if they have any of the FF nutes, though - the tips on my GQ are starting to go every so slightly yellow. Also of note, all future photos will have to be done with the actual camera - the floor of the tent is too far away from the lens on my phone and most of the photos are horribly blurry.
