I got this seed from a batch of Clementine by Rhythm/GTI and popped it in some soil for fun one day. Overall, it grew really well; especially considering i am inexperienced and accidentally stressed it out a bunch. It ended up being much taller than I expected. Incredibly leafy as well.
After several long months, we’re here! It took about 3 hours to harvest and it was such a joy to see the “fruits” of my labor, heh. The kitchen smelled like an orange grove 🧡.
The buds were super sticky, coated in mostly cloudy trichomes with about 10% amber through the middle of the plant. This was a very leafy plant. I almost wish I had defoliated more, despite the fact that I took a lot off already. But, it’s all good because I made butter with the sugar leaves and smaller buds.
I also have a clone of this plant (last pic) and it’s doing really well! I’m glad I sniped it - these buds looks so good and Im glad I get another shot now that I know a little bit more. The canopy is so much more even. Also - I finally broke down and got a tent and fan/filterto prevent dust and hair from contaminating my buds and to fix the ventilation issues. Looking forward to seeing how it improves the grow.
I’ll post more photos through the dry and cure, and update with weight once its all in the jars. Super happy with how this turned out and I’m stoked to smoke
some in a couple weeks.
:) thanks for reading! happy growing 🌱
Updates:
Dried in my dry tent at about 40-45% RH and 65F for 3.5 days.
Put it in jars at 69% humidity and have been burping 3-4 times a day for varying times. Currently I’m at 63-66 RH. I tried some and the smoke is soooo nice -uplifting and euphoric at first and fades into a nice relaxing body high. Taste is sweet and citrusy, smells like Tropicana orange juice through the mighty.
Going to keep curing for a few weeks before adding it to the regular smoke rotation.
