Tried a small popcorn bud after trimming but before I started the curing process. The potency is definitely there, but it obviously tasted pretty harsh, even when vaped. During drying and trimming, it gave off a scent that was similar to rootbeer bottle caps, so I'm hoping that is what's expressed after the cure.
Very airy buds, but is to be expected as I cut her down earlier than I would've liked to. This is my only real complaint I have, as I would've liked something with a bit more density to it.
Quite a high sugar leaf to bud ratio, as I got just under an ounce of trim for about 2.6 Oz of bud.
About half of the harvest was trimmed after 6 days of drying and the other half on day 7 of drying. Some of the buds feel pretty brittle, so I'm hoping I can rejuvenate the dry ones by curing them all together in a bag. Still debating if I should toss in one of those large Boveda 62% packs in with the curing bag.
Update - One week of Curing: So I definitely dried the bud too long and/or at too low a humidity. The RH% maxed out at the high 40's in the curing jars, so I don't know if the taste will improve much more. A much more skunky/diesel smell was expressed during curing, with almost no hint of the original sweet smell. Not bad, but could've been much better if I dried properly.
Is this dark horse genetics symbiote.
would be mad to finally see some DHG gear grown out here.
the leaves and internode definitely remind me of my stretchy original banner cut.
keep up the good work dude.
@TheBigMacAttack, bet she's a beautiful stacker all the same, there's fire in them genes.
might I say your LST is looking impeccable.
can't wait to see em bud
@kush_dreams,
Sort of. My father inlaw got BB#2 and Bitchslap seeds from Dark Horse Genetics and bred them together (Mother: BB#2/Father: Bitchslap). So this isn't the professionally bred symbiote you'd buy from DHG, but has the same lineage.
From what I've seen, I've been really impressed with the DHG genetics. I'll hopefully be getting (Kings Banner X Berry White) seeds from him in the next few months, so that will probably be my next grow.
Thank you for the words of encouragement 👍
Hey bro. I hope i can help, i overdried a harvest when we had a heat wave and, after lots of reading and chats with old fellas, i went with lettuce leaf in the jars while curing. I put a paper towel under it so it didnt touch the buds. I had to burp each few hours but you could see the moisture getting sucked from the lettuce and frosting the top of the jars. After 1 to 2 days take out and use boveda from tben on. Taste was perfect and cured bud was perfect. Give it a try!!
