Strain
THC - 23%
30% Indica/ 70% Sativa
I quite enjoyed this grow. Smooth and no major issues with the automated watering/drainage system.
All three plants started flowering around the same time. The phenotype is a little weird. One plant grew like typical sativa similar to Dynafem's genetics, but the other 2 grew like indica. But the bud structure for all three plants are great.
Responded very well to LST and defoliation. They rebounded back fast despite aggressive training and even when I accidentally cut the main stem. Quite impressive for an auto.
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.
Harvested when the majority of trichomes were cloudy and some amber. Did wet trim and dried for 6 days, then placed them in Grove bags. The yield came to 833g for 3 plants. If I had grown 4 plants, it would have yielded more than 1kg. Crazy impressive for an auto strain.
So did the UVB help increase the trichome production? Hard to say objectively as there is no control plant. But subjectively from 4 years of grow experience, UVB seems like it helped in the last 3 weeks.
Used a dry herb vape for first smoke test after 2 weeks of curing. Earthy and sweet profile. Quite pleasant. The THC percentage is slightly higher than Dynafem's Moby Dick, so the initial high is a little intense but not too overwhelming. Great mood boost. The coming down effect is pretty good. Not too heavy.
I'm so happy I can get a reliable Moby Dick genetics from Fastbuds after Dynafem closed down.
