Cali Octane 2024

7/30 Day 53 from flip. So obviously both plants turned out to be different phenotypes. Number 2, which is on the right, is a little more light sensitive than number 1. Its buds are pointier and seem to be of a more conventional size, but also packed on the frost early and is still adding more. The best description of the smell I have for this one is just offensive, something between a hockey puck, burning tires, and grapefruit. Number 1, which is on the left, is a totally different story. It handled all the light I threw at it admirably, with only slight signs of light burn. It’s buds are bigfoot sized chonkers that just keep expanding each day. The frost isn’t quite as impressive as Number 2, but it’s still right there with any of the best strains you’ll see. It’s the smell here that really separates it from the offensive Number 2. It’s much more of a creamy grapefruit smell, with a bit of that hockey puck vibe in the background. Pretty much across the board Number 1 is looking like a real winner here. I very much prefer that creamy fruit with rubber smell over the all rubber, all the time smell. And the buds on 1 are just stacking weight. It’s also been more resilient than number 2. So, with this strain it seems you can expect variance from seed to seed, but man this grow has got to be my best yet. I will absolutely be buying more of these seeds once I can verify the end product is fire, which it certainly appears to be.
