This was my first time growing an auto flowering strain and I honestly didn't know much going forward but it definitely surpassed my expectations. Its a very unique breed, something like I've never tasted before and still packs a hard punch. So without stalling any further, here is my review!
Appearance:- 9/10
The plant from the start had a very sativa like growth structure. When it comes to buds, not rock hard but still tightly packed and covered with frost and beautiful amber colored pistils.
Aroma:- 10/10
Lennon has an aroma that is very distinct. Its not skunky and strong, but rather subtle and sophisticated with a whole lot of fragrances ranging from fresh lemon, vanilla, honey and slight notes of spearmint.
Smoke:- 7/10
This is something that I can judge only after a full 2 - 3 month cure, as of now (with a 5 day dry only) its smooth at start and tends to get slightly harsh on the exhale. I feel that this stuff will get excellent with age.
High:- 8/10
At first I had no idea what to make of the high from a joint I smoked. It starts of slow and gently knocks on your head and that keeps going on till you start feeling a little dizzy. From here its a complete cerebral high for the first hour and sinks in to a relaxed body stoned effect for the next two hours. It made me quite sleepy at the end of my trip and didn't turn me into a munchie fiend.
Yield:- 8/10
I'm satisfied with the amount of flowers it produced without giving it any training. About 166 grams wet weight and 41.8 grams of dry buds.
Growth:- 9/10
She had a considerably long vegetation period for an auto which I look for in outdoor grows. It responded will to the feeding cycle and showed only a few signs of stress. Quite hardy and I definitely recommend for outdoors.
This is a stain that you can smoke any time of the day and the extra week of flowering gave it everything it needs to keep the anxiety and paranoia away.

Overall I'm very happy with this plant's results! its been a great experience and I might grow this again in the future. Pyramid seeds have done a good job on making this special strain and I'm happy to be the first to review this. There was hardly any info on this strain online and hopefully my diary will help someone looking to grow this wonderful plant. And as always, Thanks to everyone here at GrowDiaries for taking the time to help and give your thoughts. Much love! <3
Now time to go smoke some Lennon and chill to a few tunes of the beatles! CHEERS! :D
Gonna harvest in three day and I'm planning on washing my buds the Docbud way. I've never done this before so any info on this will be very helpful. My process is: wash, hang for 6 hours, trim and paper bag them for a week. Humidity is low at 20% and temp at 35C Peak. Thank you!
Well when bud washing you must consider a few things , the space in which they will dry afterwords and the amount of water they are going to hold for a few days because of this process . Firstly after you bud wash you wanna make sure that the area your going to dry them in has the lowest humidity you can get it to like 10 % if you can get it that low you also wanna make sure there is ample ventilation so that the air dont get stagnant . You wanna ensure the lowest humidity possible because for the first couple days after bud washing them they will be DAMP DAMP this will go away pretty fast but its important to be preventative of mould . Your going to need to hang them for far more then 6 hours to get the dampness out of the buds . Ive never used the product Docbud , I've always used distilled water . I hope this information helps shed some light on how to bud wash and what sort of preventative measures your should take to protect your hard work . -Happy Growing!
@PeachaPie, its weird to think that you would wash your buds haha but people do it especially in outdoor grows ! I dont think any special products are required so if you already bought that doc product then fine but just know that next time distilled water will provide the same results :) you essentially wanna fill up a pale then take your bud and vigorously shake it while its dunked under water for a few seconds then hang it to dry but like I said it better to be extra preventative then to lose everything :( When you finally light up that doobie let me know how she taste and smokes :D :D
Thanks for taking the time to respond , and your welcome the community is always here for you
-Happy Growing!
@The_Projexx,
Thank you so much for taking the time to answer my question :) I'm quite skeptical about this but I know I have to find a way. There have been some dusty winds recently and its all over her. Hope this works. I cant wait to light up a doob of that bud! :D
@BensBuds, Yea I googled the hell out to find some substantial proof, but there is now much about the after drying info. Thought GD would be the best place as there are so many experienced growers here. Someone ought to have ran into the same issue. I saw the lemon water + baking soda thing! It must change the taste right?
