I had decent results with them, but it didn't improve my yields at all, and I'm pretty sure the pair of them runs every bit as hot as 3 x 120w quantum boards with more efficient diodes. Being able to remote the drivers helped a bit. I think they'd make great vegetative lights, but for flowering, I prefer a much warmer CCT.
I harvested them about a week apart. Neither one was as bulky as I hoped for, but they both frosted over incredibly well and smell a little bit like black cherry (one of the genetic donors)..but it's also a little like a burgundy wine flavor on the exhale. Very appropriately named!
Plant A: 80g
Plant B: 88g
It's dried up into some really tight, beautifully dense nuggs. Between both plants I got about another 30g's of lower/larfy bud that I'll press for the rosin in another day or two.
This strain is pure magic to grow...nothing to it really. They happily eat up whatever nutes you give them and aren't light-sensitive in the least.
They stretched a little more than 3 feet from the time they were switched to flower and both plants reached 4' in total. Slightly more space between the nodes than the Sucrose Overdose, but they filled in nicely. They have a very mild aroma while growing, but it smells delightful in a jar. One pheno had "praying" fan leaves from the get-go, all the way to the end...never drooped..not even at night. It didn't have the more red coloration in the foliage and stems like the other one. But a real beauty just the same.๐
I still have one of these beans that I'll run next Fall..and prolly clone the hell out of it..๐.
Special thanks to Wicked_Stix for his idea to breed this hybrid, and the magic beans!!!!!!
I'll update with my smoke test and final thoughts next week some time.
@Wicked_Stix,
No worries..I'll tease them daily for the last month with tales about all the strappin' young studs they'll meet at their coming out party so that they put on their best perfume and most colorful outfits...then I'll sneak up on them with a pair of pruners when they least expect it...๐
@Wicked_Stix, "Full" is an understatement....my closet is truly overflowing. I'm in the "Ru roh, Shaggy!" mode already...seeing 3-4 inches a day stretch on a couple of plants...
Overplanted by at least 4 plants I think. Well...USUALLY..16 runts or 12 big bitches...but ya never really know what you're gonna get..
Flashing-Neon-Note-To-Self: Just because you can fit 16 pots doesn't mean you can fit 16 plants!
@WildeWeed, Ya man...she's got huge 9-finger fan leaves!
UPDATE: She made a node with 11-finger leaves last week...like catcher' mitt sized fans...she deserved a lot more space, a bigger pot, and another month of veg...
