Caramel Sutra

October 6: Wow! Just wow! This strain put out vigorous vegetative growth from the start. She was the largest plant throughout the season with a very large trunk and now that she's down it's official: 45.54 oz. That's a decent harvest. We'll see what the dry numbers come out to but right now I'm very happy. Barney's Farm has done it again! As I was cutting her down I noticed she smelled like a Tootsie Roll, it's uncanny! Notes of sweetness, chocolate and a little pungent/earthiness. I did cut down early due to some mold which was from caterpillars. They really seemed to love this strain, and apparently I wasn't diligent enough. It's also been in the 30's at night so it was time. I washed her buds, as I always do with Lemon Juice and Baking Soda, and she's hanging up to dry in the upstairs of the barn with the oscillating fan going. I'll let you guys know when I have dry numbers and a smoke report! I had 45.54 oz of wet bud that turned into 5.79 oz of dry flower. Stored in quart mason jars with Boveda 58% RH packs, burped and stabilized. I used 62% packs last year but noticed I was starting to get mold in some of my jars this summer, even though they hadn't been opened at all since I stored them. I really like the balance of this strain, not as motivating as Blue Shark, yet not as sedating as Critical Cure. You feel relaxed and comforted in your body, it eliminated my RLS. You're also contemplative and nostalgic. Great for meditation. I found myself yearning for a hot tub to sit in and gaze at the stars, or a hot bath and a good book. November 2020- A year later, and the flower is still good. Still smells like a Tootsie Roll and one of my personal favorites. The Boveda 58% packs worked really well and I'm using them from now on. This strain is so comforting, like a nice fuzzy blanket. I really like using this Caramel for edibles, perfect in brownies!
