8BK is my absolute favourite cannabis strain of all time. Which is funny because it's 100% indica, and I normally prefer sativa strains! The quality of the high is just absolutely amazing. The smell is so earthy and spicy, it's somewhat reminiscent of that smell right before it starts pouring rain for a thunderstorm. Super easy to grow in a properly balanced medium. Easy to clone -- both clones took roots and turned into the plants from my latest harvest! I even grew the clones under a desk lamp for about 85% of the vegetative phase because I had the moms flowering in the tent. The high starts out as an energetic and creative one but quickly gives way to a nice euphoric relaxation. This strain is amazing to have sex on as well (with a partner or by yourself haha), takes all the sensations of touch to a completely new height. For those who are new to cannabis or occasional smokers, it's definitely not one for day time or social use as you're going to FEEL AND LOOK totally f'd up. Eye drops won't even help you look less f'd up, it's just stamped all over your face with baggy eyelids, droopy cheeks, and your jaw hanging partially open. Think Homer Simpson's face when he's daydreaming about good food "aaaaggghhhghghhghhhhh :drool:" and that's pretty much 8 Ball Kush face.

Reviews. Nutrient
I bet I could grow from start to finish with nothing but MaxiBloom. It contains EVERYTHING your plant needs! MaxiGro as well but of course would be too much N and not enough P for the flowering phase. CaliMagic is a nice additive to boost your plant's health/stem strength and to balance out a P-K booster which can cause Calcium and/or Magnesium lockout (can't remember which, or both?) If all you have is $40 to spend on nutrients, buy a 2.2kg pack of powdered MaxiBloom and a bottle of CaliMagic. It's seriously all you need for an entire grow! (other than pH up/down)
Amazing P-K booster. I swear I can see results in my buds a couple hours after watering. They say to water with it every 2 or 3 days in hydro, or something like that, but I was manually watering hempy buckets once a day with it. Adding the CaliMagic prevented the nute burn I got in the moms from using the Bud Blaster. So make sure to add a healthy dose (1tsp/gal) of CaliMagic when using Bud Blaster or you might get nute burn!

These were clones of the previous moms I grew from seed. They lived most of their vegetative life under a 13w LED desk lamp! (which is also why they were in veg so long, they grew but of course slowly, until they went into the tent) It took about 3 days to dry out the stemless, trimmed buds. They've been curing for 5 days now, which I feel is enough to post a harvest. When I posted the harvest for the moms, there was a distinct smell/flavour in pheno A that I couldn't quite identify so I marked it as diesel. This time around, I think due to less stress on the plants and an amazing grow medium/nutrients, I can identify it! It's a minty-licorice! Pheno B has a slight minty smell, but pheno A reminds me of opening a bag of fresh Australian black licorice and a bag of those "spearmint leaves" candies next to each other at the same time. Which is funny because black licorice and spearmint leaves are some of my favourite candies :D They don't have "licorice" as a flavour on Grow Diaries, so I marked it just as "minty". After drying, I was able to grind and freeze the trim, then run it through a kief screen. I collected a ton of kief, which I then pressed into a block of "lazy man's hash" as I call it. You just use a glass bottle full of extremely hot water, roll it across the kief while it's inside some parchment paper, and it all melts together into a thin block. Man it's potent! It also has an extremely strong pine smell when you smoke it, which confuses the crap out of me because the buds don't have a pine smell... I've been smoking(primarily dry-vaping) almost exclusively the lazy-man's hash for the past 5 days while curing the buds, and I still have about 85% of it left at this point. I predict if I stick with this pattern, I can get a full 3 or 4 week cure on the buds before I switch to them. Going to give some away as Christmas presents too :) NOTE: Dry harvest weight includes the lazy-man's hash. Because, why shouldn't it?! Looking forward to seeing the results of my GSC grow currently in progress, and then I'm going to switch back and grow another round of 8BK before moving on to something else :) 8BK is seriously my favourite bud of all time, hands-down, nothing even comes close to comparing.

@downunderdank, can't go wrong with 8BK :) As long as you're careful with the nutes and pH your water, it pretty much grows itself!
