Garden is at the fun stage. Lots of sticky fingers and aroma therapy taking place. Chernobyl has a classic floral smell that reminds me of new car upholstery. I like it but I have grown this smell before. Trying to recall which strain it was typical of. A haze hybrid of some kind. Chernobyl is vigorous as fuck and very stable. She has grown well through a lot of sub par conditions. The nicest smell in the garden is the Lemon Sugar Kush. She has a very powerful lemon scent and the most frosting. So overwhelming, you can't smell much of anything afterwards. The Banana Mac's smell is soft and fruity with a hint of cookies. I can imagine crossing her with LSK. Mimosa's smell is earthy, surprisingly. 5 weeks to go so a lot of evolving to do.
For a substandard grow, I think we'll get a decent product. Think I'll go mostly coco next run. A better set up for an automatic watering Floraflex system. Watering 16oz per day per plant. I think its too much but the moisture meter indicates otherwise.
Compared to the last organic grow, this one is about a week behind, perhaps more. My soil is definitely fucked up. I'll try recharging it and leaving it to cook for a while once this run is done. Then reintroduce a handful at a time. I like the idea of organics but my skill level is not there yet. Its another animal.
Happy growing all.
Chernobyl seems to be a happy mom. Do they clone easily?? Banana was my 1st and she practically clones herself in the environment I set. My gold leaf took a few tries lol
@MomnPoppaSeed, Chernobyl is a beast. She is the hardiest plant I have had the pleasure of growing. She tolerates of imbalances in nutes, not susceptible to bugs. Grows fast and furiously. Easy to clone. I hope she produces good bud. I am curious to see. That said, all the plants I am growing this round are hardy, fast growers. Lemon sugar Kush might challenge Chernobyl for the title. At the end of the day, it'll all boil down to which plant produces the effects I am looking for.
Cheers bro.
I do love my mans big banana :)
But I also enjoy looking at yours! Hahaha
But for reals I dig your Bush. I am interested in strains I've never heard of and so I'll be checking in.
Happy grow year!!
Hi Spin, I have 3 strains here but the one listed that you are probably referring to is the MAC 1. Miracle alien cookies bred by the Capulator. A dude in LA. There is a lot of fuss around this strain right now. It has a unique new flavour. The original Mac 1 distribution was tightly controlled and only released to a few growers to hybridize and I was lucky enough to visit Wonderland Nurseries in Garberville, Humboldt when they had a few clones and was gifted a cut which has since departed because of russet mite infestation which I also brought back with me. Anyway, this particular MAC is a hybrid crossed with a banana OG. Not the MAC 1 but I hope she is still worthy. We'll see how she goes.
The Lemon Sugar Kush is the other strain. Bred by Rebel Grown. He is from Humboldt also and close friends with the Wonderland people. This strain has a distinctive Lemon Ginger/Pepper flavor. Something I love. The other strain is a Mimosa /Cherry Cookies cross of Symbiotic Genetics and Relentless Genetics The berry flavours are outstanding with this one. Hope this answers your question. Happy growing, bro.
