Grow Report: Not exactly the 'triumphant return' to growing that I was expecting. I did just about everything I could wrong this entire grow, and the yield shows it. Harvest Report: To add to the list of things I did wrong; I think I may have managed to over-dry the buds. I kept the cabinet at 55% RH and 68 degrees F, but I was so focused on waiting until I could hear those little stems 'snap' when bent, that I think I let them dry out too much (they never did snap). So I pulled 'em, trimmed them up and into jars they went. They've been in jars now for 2 days and RH is only up to 56%RH. Time will tell... The final yield was less than I was hoping for but was to be expected; the buds just never really plumped up. This was likely due to my inability to deliver adequate nutrients at the necessary time, and not a reflection of the genetics. Overall, just under 3oz of bud, maybe another half oz of trim that will live on in some edibles down the road. Plus I got a nice bit of dry-sift and finger/scissor hash to tide me over during the cure. Most of the buds were bordering on LARF, except for the tops, but even those were pretty slim after final trimming. I'll eventually get around to growing this strain again, ideally though in more precise conditions. Consumption Report: To Be Continued...

She got about 48 hours of darkness before the chop. Didn't weigh her wet; removed all of the fan leaves but going to wait and trim buds before weighing. I think the buds definitely plumped slightly with the 48 hours of darkness, plus there was a noticeable increase in trichs, I dunno how but they looked a bit more frosty to me then before lights out. I'll update again once she's had a chance to dry out; hopefully I'll a good little bit of trim to freeze and make some hash.

The flower just smokes terribly. It's a rather harsh smoke, tastes nothing like the smell. Even vaping the bud has a similar poor flavor. But the rosin however is TASTY! Not a great yield, avg 15% after the squish, but tastes soooo good.

Plant was likely stunted from weeks 3-5 (nutrient issues and transplanting to soil). Buds look pretty under-developed, trichomes are not covering much and there's next to no smell at all. According to others' journals and the breeder's information, this plant should be just about ready to harvest by this week, but I will likely push it into week 12 and to see if I can bulk up the buds with organic top-soil amendments and tea.

Also been noticing some darker coloration of the cola leaves, not sure if this is just a characteristic of this particular phenotype, or if the plant is naturally coming to the end of it's flowering period. Hopefully not the latter, because these buds aren't ready yet. The brown tips and spot as well as the curling up of the tips I figure are due to a lack of 'P' and/or 'K', perhaps the roots are having trouble accessing the super-soil for these nutrients because of the way I transplanted. Time will tell.
