One of my favourite sativa dominant strains, this being my second time growing it. It's a pleasure to grow, yields well and is a great daytime smoke but I also enjoy this in the evenings. Delicious citrus notes with a sour, tangy after taste.
Hey friends! This grow too me a while to finish documenting, sorry for being off the grid for so long, but there's been a lot going on.
The Covid lockdown has been a lot to endure. To top that off, my province - the home of Durban poison, has been shocked to it's core with looting and violence. Communities have banded together as brothers and sisters to not only ward off criminals, but to help and care for each other and rebuild what others have destroyed. Schools, infrastructure, shopping malls, food supply chains have all been a target of arson, looting and vandalism. It's an interesting time to be alive in South Africa, but the ubuntu spirit is strong and we will emerge stronger than ever!
We are experiencing tough laws on booze, with sales currently being outright banned and have been for some time. I could really do with a beer, but I have to smile when I think about the fact that I can legally grow and smoke copious amounts of ganja :) Nothing wrong with that, ey?
Back to my harvest comment - this has to be one of my ultimate favourite strains. It grows well, yields well, tastes amazing and is loaded with THC. Even growing this outdoors, you'll get to experience how great this smoke tastes and hits. If any of you remember my Glue Gelato auto grow, that was going SUPER well, then got so riddled with every kind of mould and rot issue, that I had to turf the entire plant. I was devastated, never even got to taste it 😞
Do yourself a favour and try this strain, it's reliable and will possibly become your new favourite sativa. Thanks for following, fellow growers.
Peace ✌️
@Darkdarktime, hey there - it's a Magic-Flight Launch Box, one of the OG vaporizers. Handy little thing, gets some amazing hits if you know how! The silver thing is an unwrapped NiMH battery. By inserting it into the device it shorts out the mesh and delivers an impressive instant vape. I've had the thing for years. You can check them out at www.magic-flight.com
@SonomaSungrown, hey there. Yes my next week is a harvest week. I'll update this diary soon just been real busy. I find growing outdoors, the times they suggest are often more appropriate for indoors and take a bit longer for us, but I've had a few strains that were really fast outdoors - check out my Fast Buds Bubblegum diary I recently did, that was really quick!
@BioBuds, thanks - I've had good results from Dutch Passion's autos outdoors, check out my Think Different diary, I was able to cross the 100g mark - that was a wonderful sativa dominant smoke as well!
Epokwan good to see you on here again
The riots were mental bud, shit got real very quickly for us also
Happy to see you made it through and back in action
@Riveting, eish bro sounds like a story and a half! Also got caught off guard with supplies, had to queue at Checkers from 4am (needed baby supplies) and only got outta there about 1pm and once inside it was a mad show of panic buying inside...
We must be in the same province, stay safe buddy - I feel like everything is volatile at the moment.
@Epokwan, Yeah still feels like a movie set gone wrong
Flip it was hairy... We had to drive up to my farmer friends to go get meat/eggs/milk (with fuel I siphoned from a friends boat)
I was caught with my pants down on Monday (normal shopping day)
Great diary. I have one of these on the go but am a bit confused with it. Outdoor SW UK, 9ltr airpot in compost. May up to most of July have been below avg tmp and above avg rainfall. I germinated 28th March so now into 17th wk! 3rd wk of july was heatwave so let it carry on to give a last boost. Weather is now avg again but have had significant number of new pistiles appear. Triches are predominantly cloudy, only spotted 1 amber so far. I was gonna take down today but now think i should wait another week. I read there are phenos that take a bit longer but not this much. Would love to hear what others think. Cheers
@justabinky, the small pot and extreme defoliation may have stressed her out, autos can be super sensitive. Either way it sounds like you're close to getting high off your own supply. Nice to find another MFLB enthusiast! Most people who try it out don't like it because it doesn't seem to give off much vape, it takes practice to get big long warm draws, but once you get it right - oh man!
@Epokwan, thanks for the reply, it's pretty mad. During veg I did lst and at each node left only the side shoot that was growing in the direction i wanted. I have 5 colas, 1 is a bit smaller. Was quite brutal and defoliated all lower early in flower. My intention to keep small and discreet, the plant looks pretty nice, distorted twisted stem almost like a scaled up bonsai. I've been bringing indoors last week when it rains, had bad time with mould my last grow a few years back, I'm paying close attention and she looks in good shape despite being such a long finisher. I reckon I'll give her another 5-7 days, because the small pot may have stifled development really interested what yeild is, be happy whatever though, smells amazing, last few weeks. Thanks again for sharing your grow, and thoughts. Btw, big up the magic flight, all ive used since i gave up smoking almost 10 years ago
@justabinky, hey thanks for stopping by. 17 weeks seems way too long, even for outdoors. If there's no signs of mold or rot and she seems healthy enough, go ahead and push her a bit. Being sativa dominant, harvesting with less amber is also okay. Whatever you decide, it will be a great smoke. All the best for your harvest!
