California Octane

Switched to 12/12 and defoliated the top.

Smells like Creamy Vanilla

Buds fattened up quite a bit

Stearted to smell a lot more spicy less sweet/fruit.

I let the soil dry, then gave 72 hours of darkness, after which I harvested.

After a 6-week cure, it smells really spicy with creamy undertones. The buds are extremely dense and sticky. When vaped, the smoke is smooth but doesn’t have much flavor. It’s an energetic high — not the optimal strain for an insomniac like me who likes to smoke before bed, but I already knew that. Overall, if you enjoy sharp, spicy, and slightly gassy terps, I’d highly recommend this strain. My DIY lamp has 6-watt UVA leds. Maybe if I hadn’t run it at full blast the whole time, the aroma would’ve leaned more toward sweet and less toward spicy/caryophyllene-heavy. 84gramms dry for 86watt! pretty happy with that.
