Cali Octane 2024

This strain has loads of potential, but with one plant going herm on me the overall bud quality for both was obviously affected. Number 1, which was the normal healthy one, grew wonderfully. She had the frost, she had the terps, she had the bulk, but towards the end she started growing seeds. Number 2 was the oddball, going herm on me and ultimately proving susceptible to bud rot even though the environment was in pretty good shape with lots of airflow. I'm guessing this is certainly not the pheno HSC intends for us to be growing and will chalk this one up to simply losing the genetic lottery. The high is really great on both, plenty of potency but it never really makes you feel incapacitated. This is a very functional, happy, mood boosting high. It's a shame the physical bud quality doesn't match the quality of the high. Both ended up pretty fluffy in the end and really burn right up. Number 1 has some underdeveloped beaners in it, with an occasional full seed. Number 2 is absolutely full of seed, and while smokeable, is not something I would show off to anyone. The plan for now is to come back and grow this one again in a few months, I think she's proved that the potential is there if I can weed out any bad phenos.
