Critical Jack Photoperiod DWC

While I would have liked a higher yield, I'm not going to complain about 1.3oz of Critical Jack. Right off the drying racks it's been a fun smoke! It's definitely an upper, which is awesome -- shows it sativa side in the high. After smoking the past couple of days, I notice the burnt smell of it smells just like pineapple. Really nice, but not overwhelming smell. It's not entirely pineapple, there are some earthy tones (that I think are part of the Critical heritage). She is caked in trichomes -- I couldn't get a good clear photo with my phone camera...but the pictures do not do her justice. Buds were surprisingly dense compared to some of my other grows. I should note, again, that this was my first mainline and my first SCROG. I'm not sure I did the mainline correct, and that may have affected the plants yield early on. It was fun, but I think going forward I'll just pack more plants in my tent instead of trying to play in the sandbox. SCROG is definitely an interesting concept, as it allowed a lot of light to the center of the plant. I just feel like it's more difficult to manage and harvest. With hydroponics, it can be tricky getting the buckets out when your plant is tied up in a net. With my inexperience with both mainlining and SCROGing, I'm not going to complain about the yield. I have a feeling that this plant could produce an easy 2-4oz if done correctly though. I'll likely be growing another one of these in the future. SMOKE REVIEW: Wow! It's been curing for about 5 days now, and its at a point where it's perfectly dried -- nice and fluffy to the squeeze. The nugs are nice and dense. I thought I would get nothing for yield, but all of the small little nugs harden up and become super dense. I still think I screwed up a bit and likely could have gotten a bigger yield, but that's for next time! Smoking this at day 5...it's amazing. It is definitely an upper. I am just super high...seriously, I can't remember a time I was this high. This strain is a 10.
