'Space Cookies' by Paradise

Ooooh Boy. Welcome one and all to Space Cookies Harvest. What a friggin treat she is! Here we go😉 Where do I even start... Mmmk, grow this strain, haha! It might look like I'm very generous with my reviews, but with my other harvest reviews coming soon, you'll see that this isn't true😂. This 10/10 is legit. All those that came out of the woodwork's to tell me how great it was, were not wrong and it has quickly become my go-to smoke for the past week. Below I'm just going to power point the positive traits and characteristics of SC and the 'Meh's' I saw with her and then jump right into bud quality, weights and final notes. The Positives: -Very easy to grow with high versatility. With the mistakes made in veg, she did stunt a bit, but showed the greatest health and bounce back out of all the girls -Stem and lateral strength were by far the best of all four girls. She did not require any bracing throughout propagation, even though I put bamboo in in prep to do so. -She was the runt out of the four girls, but still had great vigor. She ate less too, but still kept up with her counterparts. Propped her up in Bloom for an even canopy, but other then that I didn't have to do anything to her/with her. -Coming into bloom I saw that she was going to be pretty and pretty dense too boot. With the help of the SF-2000, tight internode spacing and bud development were present throughout the stretch and bloom. She formed great stacks and her buds met up very well. -Trichome production was ridiculous with her. She started shedding early and did not let up until the bitter end. Easily the frostiest girl in the tent when I felt she would be the least...happy surprises! -Beauty dense bud formations and great bud break up. A nugget of SC next to a nugget of Dutchy will/is twice the weight. Heavvvy.😀 The 'Meh': -I would have loved to have gotten a larger yield out of her. I'm positive some of my mistakes kept her from reaching full potential, but I did feel there was still a lack of bud development, especially when looking at the other girls and online pictures of other Space Cookies. This is probably my bad though and I don't blame the genetics whatsoever. -Maybe a little too short, limited bud production and bud sites. Again, this was probably do to my issues and some stunting in Veg. Still don't see this as a genetic issue but a "Me" one instead. Strain and Product Review: -Very dense buds. When trimming I noticed there was little to no give on them and they had a great form -I don't have these tested in lab, but I can ball-park the potency to be roughly 20-21%. Right in my wheel house and my happy place. -Though she only clocks in at 20-21%, this girl has an amazing kick to her. Hits hard in the eyes and slowly cascades into the chest and lower body. Withing ten minutes, SC is in her full affect and her longevity is a good 2 hours. -A very! happy and functional stone... I don't get giggly on weed anymore, but this did! I was on top of the world man. It hits all the key buttons for me and I'm amazed at how well it's helped my anxiety issues. -Taste is beautiful. There's a lot going on and her profile becomes more and more defined with time. With samples given out, I've heard everything from citrus to hash plant flavorings. Personally, I get woody/pine and citrus as the mainstay terps. The Numbers (Popcorn and LARF numbers are halved in the "Outcome" portion of this entry. I do not personally count these as whole bud and just cut the product yield in half. The numbers below are higher then the outcome, but is the total product recorded from Space Cookies): Jar #1- Whole Bud: 34 Grams (1.21 ounce) Jar #2- Whole Bud: 35 Grams (1.25 ounce) Jar #3- Popcorn/LARF: 23 Grams (.82 Ounce) Total Product Pulled: 92 Grams (3.28 ounce) Numbers weren't through the roof, but who cares... This is the highest quality cannabis I've grown so far and a little less quantity over quality is well worth it. I had assumed I'd only receive a max of 2.5 ounces in total product, so over 3 is a happy surprise. Zero complaints👌 Grow #2 vs Grow #3: -Used Green Planet nutrient line and dropped GHE (except for Diamond Nectar and Rapid Start) -Inclusion of a second SF-2000 at the beginning of Bloom and decommissioning of the Phlizon 1200 Blurple -More soil aeration by conditioning with more perlite and peat moss substrate. -More circulation added into the unit to keep things moving and breathing. -Better bracing in place and planned further ahead of time. -Even with big Veg mistakes, I cut a full week off of veg. The SF and advanced nutrient schedule are to thank for that. Looking for a 6 week flip near future. Final Thoughts: This is a winner folks. If you're an indy or indy Dom fan, this will do the job and you won't regret giving her a go. I love everything about her, from the growing to the smoking. She was a special specimen and out performed all my expectations. This plant was a one off... just threw her in to replace a non-viable Black Widow. 18 weeks later and I feel like it was meant to be... This girl was made for me and my needs. If you have the opportunity and space to get your hands on one to grow, please do. It's a great show with beauty bud to boot. Go. For. It👌 It probably goes without saying by now, but thank you to all that have followed along and supported me through this grow. It was a hairy ride for awhile, and if it weren't for some key people my problems would have only gotten worse. I was pulled out of the fire on multiple occasions this round and I don't know where I or the girls would have been without you. Thank you so, so much for paying it forward and for having my back when I made mistakes😬. You folks are the reason I keep going and the reason why I'm expanding. For the positive forces and people behind this grow, cheers👊. Keep on being great frigging people please! Cannabis Culture needs you. Much love folks. Catch you on the flip side😀
