Thankfully, 9/10 is what i intended. I did not know about the 1 hour limit on that. Anyway, this is a fast developing plant. 55-60 days was accurate for the seed i germinated. Gets nice and frosty early on. Good potency. Decent yield if grown properly. Solid strain. Would like a little more kick and yield for a 10/10 rating. Have to leave room for a higher tier on this one, but it is an excellent strain to grow. After just 14 days from chopping it down, the taste has exploded. A creamy, blueberry taste with a fruity/blueberry aroma. I expect this to improve further, but I am very impressed by the transformation in just a few days.

Summary (may show different and updated opinions from notes below) A very pleasing grow with quick development. The nugs looked like frosty buds from day 30-35. After 6 full days of drying, smaller buds do not snap off the main stem, so waitingn longer to jar. I'll update this later. OMG, a breeder's flowering time was accurate?!?! Ya don't say... 55-60 days is accurate for this 1 seed, i can attest. Poor yield due to user-error. Fairly dense nugs, but nothing extraordinary in this regard. Smell - Blueberry / Fruity is the consensus. Further confirmed as it dries without relying on the professional nose. Taste - Creamy-blueberry taste that is really exploding after just 14 days. Still improving, but it's already incredibly tasty and smooth -- a hint of pine is still subsiding. Potency - Nice and strong. Based on how it looked, i expected a bit more. A good heady buzz for certain. Very little couchlock, but may need to write down some notes, if doing anything but mundane tasks. Definitely need to put effort into paying attention after smoking this bud. Donor plant was regenerated successfully and will likely grow this again, but possibly not until Dec-Jan. I like this one so much, i'll let it cure for at least another 2-3 weeks before cracking it open. --------Daily drying notes and ramblings, includes last vege day notes.... 90 / 56 Days - Okay, I don’t know if I can wait anymore and the space is needed. Top colas show a lot of amber. Much more than I typically see. The plant isn’t drinking much. I consider that a bad sign. If someone knows differently, please enlighten me. I like learning that sort of detail. 91 / 57 Days - Harvest 91 / 0 Days - Chop in AM after 57 days of 12-12 cycles. Also, 0 days of drying. It was an incredibly fast harvest compared to others. Seven stalks to trim and done. No larf, as I over-lollipopped. The results were surprisingly okay despite that fact. Because of the over-aggressive lollipop, it’s 100% top-shelf nug with no bullshit buds and nothing for the hash bag in freezer. I’ll go out on a limb and say 50g. If I average 7g from each cola (lumber will be removed when weighed), that’s ~50g. They look big enough and dense enough to clear that, but it doesn’t look like 2 oz. Hope to be surprised, as I inherently try to underestimate a bit. Smells a lot like previous GG-hybrid strain as it gets chopped up. Scissor hash was quite mellow. Since it was mostly all 1 contiguous cola at top or solid nug slightly spaced out, I left it all on the limb for drying. Based on droop of that level, it has more mass than I think. Still some water in reservoir, so it was fully hydrated. No stems are appropriately sized for the snap test. If I’m smart, I’ll take a branch out and weigh it for a better idea on how much water has evaporated over time…. Nah, I’m not smart, I’ll just wing it. 92 / 1 Days - The two little nugs I accidentally snipped off the limb are on a fast-track dry of 2-3 days (on parchment paper on top of me stereo’s amp or in jar to even out, rinse and repeat). The rest is just sitting in the mesh rack, and I am airing out that tight space couple times per day. Hoping to push 7-9 days drying with large limb attached. Rotated after 24 hours or more. 93 / 2 Days - fast-track nuglets are done. May even need 30-60mins in a small jar with a boveda pack. Not enough for a respectable joint by my measure. Fairly tight nugs. Not much leaf. The smell was ruined, so won’t comment on that. Potency report sometime today, no rush. 94 / 3 Days - Getting there.. Rotating each 24 hours, since it’s only 7 stems. Still soft to touch. 95 / 4 Days - Rotated in AM. Forgot yesterday. Marijuana affects short-term memory… Progressively slower drying rate than before. 96 / 5 Days - nug with notch in stem weighed at 8.72g. They all feel quite light this morning. Drying weed this summer is drastically different from last and I cannot figure out why. While it was a bit warm the first 24 hours, it’s been low 70s F since and ~50%RH. I’ll weight that nug again in 12 hours and if no change in weight, tossing in jars with humidity control pakcs… need to run the dishwasher, first… This is going to be a pitiful yield, but embarrassment aside it is decent quality and I certainly won’t make the same mistake again - etched into granite. I no longer suspect the seeds got switched. The listed flower time of 55-60 is shorter on the GB, and upon chopping it down, the top 1” is a bit reddish/purpelish, but the rest look like the picture from Advanced Seeds. Think it is most noticeable in picture with full bud next to the snips. I guess I overfed or lights too close? Have to google a bit. Maybe, an odd comment below could help, too. PM -- 8.52grams. Still losing a bit of weight. See the weight tomorrow, and so she goes… I will test some tonight. If it snapps off easily from large stem, I’ll jar tonight. 96 / 6 Days - Cola lost another .29 grams -- 8.23 grams. Did not smoke last night, but attempted to pull a lower bud off and it only bent. So, waiting longer… If I hit 50g I’m going to be absolutely ecstatic, lol. Well, 2 little scrap nugs I cut off today were 1.8 g. Rolled a little 1g half-blunt and I’m nice and stoned. a head-high for certain… Definitely too much moisture in the nugs, but smoked fine with a hemp wrap. A zig zag would be a different story and borderline whether it’d remain lit. Much more impressed by the buzz today than the little fast tracked bits. After breaking it up, there was a spicy smell, but couldn’t place it. I’ll hammer it out eventually. Taste is still a bit early to tell. At the least, it was not harsh. 98 / 7 days - Twig broke off in morning. Down to about 7.9g on the one drumstick. Tossed in jar. Weight was ~47.xx, but I had to snip off a couple things… if it’s roughly the same weight tomorrow, it’s good enough. I think it’ll gain a small fraction of a gram, which is fine. I’ll work on getting that closer over time. 54Oz jar with (2) 8g 2-way 58% RH packs. The environment will be consistent. 99 / 8 Days - Weighed in AM. Okay, getting better at this. I used to jar too early each time. The last two times I was negligibly late, if splitting hairs. These gained a fraction of a gram after 24 hours (found the 2 of 4 bits i cut off and it was already original weight, so gained a bit). Jar was burped after 12 hours too. So, drying is done after 7 days - hit my goal of slowing it down. As winter approaches I’ll have to slow it down further in 35% RH environment with furnace on. 100 / 9 - Burping each day AM/PM. More odor, but can’t place it yet. Within 12 days we’ll finish this up. A professional nose was enlisted and they said blueberry. So, blueberry, herb or spicy, herb, blueberry. I don’t taste blueberry, but they are insistent of flavor too. Strong, heady buzz. Still smooth in 2 different brands of hemp wraps. Looks just like the Advanced Seeds picture. That nice green with the stigma highlights. Give this a little more time to simmer, but its taste and smell are known at this point. After an hour, a healthy half-blunt still has me baked with no end in sight. That’s quite an accomplishment given the amount of bubble hash I’ve been smoking since July. None was placed on this particular blunt. 101 / 10 - 22 in binary! Still burping 2x for first week in jars. Smell is much stronger of late. 102 / 11 - Miss binary already. SSDD. Final pictures today

Man it´s incredible the way you weigh the drying buds every day. I personally never thought of that and never saw anyone do it, thanks for that! Also, the genetics seem pretty good. Peace.

Looking very nice, my friend! Looks like they're putting on weight and some respectable frost already! Probably putting out some nice terps too!
