First of all this isn't a "Custom Strain" this is from Next Generation Seeds (nextgenerationseedcompany.com) they just aren't listed on grow diaries as a breeder. I have no affiliation with them, I have received nothing from them, I just don't want to take credit for a strain that isn't mine. My Sweet Island Girl is done and I couldn’t be happier with her growth, yield, smoke, taste… everything about her has been a joy. The smoke is really nice, it hits hard and hits fast. The taste is very light, citrus, sweet, and fresh, everyone will like this smoke. It is a “skunk” and has some skunk smell to her but it’s not overwhelming like a lot of other skunks I’ve met before…. more like a “skunk light” It’s a sativa and the high is definitely sativa, this isn’t the strain for indica lovers. But if you like taking a big rip and then weeding your garden for the afternoon or washing your car this is definitely a great contender for making the task more enjoyable. However don’t be blazing this stuff before bed, it definitely will give you insomnia. She made BIG FAT FROSTY COLAS!!! We saved twelve cola’s that are between 12g - 16.5g each, put them into jars and have been sending out the whole colas to friends and family. The colas that are under 15g we put a extra bud in along with it to make sure it’s above 15g for them. None of these people grow and all of them are loving the whole cola’s. They get a kick out of cutting them apart to smoke, its been a real hit. We have shared this with some friends and family, the friends that are use to strong weed are very impressed and happy with it. The others that aren’t use to strong weed are now timid of it after their first try. This stuff will knock you on your ass. Our biggest cola was 19.3g dried (in picture) but was too wide to fit through the top of our biggest jar, so we had to cut it down to fit :( The breeder lists the THC content of this as 23%, it is stronger then the BC Blueberry (from the same breeder) and that was listed by the breeder as 20% and we had it lab tested with the results coming in at 19.7%. So there is a fairly good chance this stuff is in the 22-23% range. Hoping to get it lab tested next month. The buds themselves are nice and big, very sparkly, but medium density. The BC Blueberry has denser buds then the Island girl, but these buds are still very nice in the density department, just not as much as that epic Blueberry. Edit Lab Results are in; CBD = < 0.100% (not detectable) THC delta-9 = 0.288 THCa = 23.9 Total THC = 21.2% Breeders usually quote THCa or THCa plus THC delta 9 as their THC levels. The breeder quoted it as 23% THC, so 23.9 THCa is right in line with that (even a bit better). But the actual THC is 21.2% (THCa * 0.877 THC delta-9), and although that is a bit lower then the 23% they quoted, I know they quote the higher numbers all the time to make themselves look good. 21.2% is very good, and I'm happy with the potency of this strain. So we have had this strain for a couple months and I thought I'd do an update on the strain. It is very potent and can put you on your ass, however it is a peaky high, it comes on strong and goes away quickly. It doesn't have the rolling waves of high like some other strains. She is a sativa and is had to sleep on, don't smoke it any time you want to get some rest. She is a skunk and if you like skunks you will love her, but for some skunk just isn't their taste and you best no grow this strain. Really like her, I give her a very solid 9/10, 1 point off for a peaky high, other then that she hit everything else out of the park.

Island Girl grew big and thick, was a bit worried about it being too leggy as NGS (Next Generation Seeds) warns about topping it to much as it can get branchy and leggy but she preformed excellent. Only needed to support 1 cola and that was because I bent it down accidentally while moving another pot into the tent. Besides that she wanted to pull out every pin and pull off every wire, strong girl with big heavy colas. She ate a lot and wanted a lot of water and we gave it to her. She got just a tiny bit of nutes burn on the leaf tips. After issues with our first grow we changed a bunch of things around the grow room and Ms. Island Girl had and easy time. The temperature and humidity stayed in ideal condition for the entire grow. I had no issues with growing or disease but then again the conditions were near perfect so she didn’t have to fed off anything. I included a roots comparison picture of the other 2 plants I harvested that grew along side her at the same time in the same space. You can see how the roots of the Blueberry (18.7 oz harvested) compares to the one from the Island Sweet Skunk (13.6 oz) and Sour Jack (5.3 oz). All 3 of these had the same veg time and the same nutes. Island Girls roots were from top to bottom, edge to edge but in the centre of the bottom it was mostly just dirt, she concentrated her roots on the outside edges. She made a type of upside down cone pattern with her roots like this / spending out form the top middle and going out to the edges and leaving the middle column of dirt fairly sparse. I bought a humidifier for drying the bud this batch, it has a humidity sensor so you can program what humidity you want it to stay at and it holds there. Island Girl dried over 6 days with humidity at 55% and a fan moving the air. Coming out of drying the bud was very good to smoke, not harsh at all and tasted.smelled great. The heaviest cola coming off my Island Girl wet trimmed was 92.4 and after it finished drying and had the stem cut down it weight 19.3g. I have a breakdown of her in pictures above and the drying. Drying Breakdown Largest Cola Wet trim - 92.4 g 24 Hours - 67.5 g 48 Hours - 47.1 g 72 Hours - 35.1 g 120 Hours - 23.1 g 144 Hours - 21.6 g (Dried with stem) 144 Hours - 19.3 g (Dried Trimmed Stem) —————————————— 20.9% net dry weight for largest cola Almost every cola coming off of her was over 10g dried, we were laughing as we were bucking up the buds into jars. Numbers Breakdown; 1,988 g (70.12 oz) Wet Trimmed 387.4 g (13.66 oz) Net Dry Trimmed ———————————————— 19.5% Net Dry weight for plant The Island girl was the last one to be dropped, this time around I grew 4 plants, Island Sweet Skunk, BC Blueberry, Sour Jack, and Bubba Kush. Bubba Kush hermied on me so it got killed off. The rest of the girls broke down like this 151 g (5.33 oz) Sour Jack Net Dry (1 plant) 387.4 g (13.66 oz) Island Sweet Skunk Net Dry (1 plant) 530.4 g (18.71 oz) BC Blueberry Net Dry (1 plant) ———————————————— 1,068.8 g (37.7 oz) (2.35 lbs) Net Dry for the grow How can I not be happy with 2.35 lbs (1.07 kg) of primo bud, this has been a fantastic grown and I wish I could invite you all over for an evening to share it with me. Have a great one!

Congrats on the win, buddy! Phenomenal yield as well! Next Generation Seeds is DJ Short's son's company, right?

@MovingOn, Thanks man! As for the seed companies I honestly don't know, I've read some stuff about Next Gen, DJ Short, BC Bud Depot, Canuk, JOTI, and JAH. There are some.... disagreements.... about whom worked where.... who has original genetics.... some are stollen or not pure etc, etc. Honestly I don't really care, I don't have any affiliation or loyalty to any of them. I have some Next Gen seeds, Canuk seeds, and some BC Bud Depot seeds. I've been very impressed with the Next Gen seeds so far, but with that being said I just had the first few vapes from the Canuk Northern Lights and the high is fucking amazing (maybe I just got a great pheno, I don't know). My next grow I'll have two BC Bud Depot strains (God Bud and Tangie Cookies) and one of the Next Gen strains (Dynamite). Really I'm just trying stains out to find what I like and don't like.

@stevieb21,Thanks, she's a very strong girl. Her and my Blueberry are going nuts, yet right next to them the Bubba Kush seems to struggle. I'm new to growing MJ and I don't fully understand the strains and pheno's yet, but clearly they can be very dramatic.
