Feb 6 - it begins with Seeds in Water / Paper Towel / Soil / Window Sill for ~8 hrs (solar nrg) / Tent at Dusk tonight Last summer saw Three seeds of Acupulco Gold, fail in 2 locations and 1 to theft. This year I am running an A.G. again, right beside a famed Columbian Gold. Yes it (c.g.) has a slightly longer cycle, but that will help stagger the finishing work load come May. Tiny amount of RapidStart added to cups of soil and mixed yesterday. Seeds added to the cups today (9th) along with droplets of the diluted mixture. Feb 9th, finds the germinated seeds in the soil and under lights. Feb 10th, lites-on found an Acapulco Gold seedling sticking out of the soil. Feb 11th, also starts with a discovery that the Columbian Gold seed is breaking ground just as the lites come on. Two seeds above ground. Gentle misting of the soil for a couple days. - only a full spectrum to work with, so I’m keeping them pretty low and not too close for ~48hrs or so, once they are both up n stable Feb13th, the morning finds both seedlings growing and healthy. - Misting becomes watering - other nodes are forming - You have to Love Family. And that’s how I heard of the “Blue God” from Jordan of the Islands. It’s Getting a great reputation as their star Indica player. (And My Son! requested it; Its not along for the ride, I guess it’s “Leading the Pack”) * will keep blue god dialogue to the min. & hi-lites. ** heads-up for their newest hybrid from JOTI; God’s Poison (Durban Poison x God Bud) One will be grown outdoors 2021 for sure.

Feb 22nd a.m. - transplanted all 3 seedlings into separate pots. Here we go - bringing another ingredient into regular use after this week; Humic Acids for Nutrient uptake from the Soil and aiding nutrient movement throughout the plants. Reading more about Fulvic as well, and their role in enhancing Foliar applications & Yields Feb 24th - let’s call it the first Deeper watering. Working with spreading the feeding circle and getting all of the soil introduced to moisture Feb 25th - 1st Foliar feed of the 3 plants. A wetting agent was also included in the mix; 2.5 ml ocean magic / 500 ml h20 / 3.7 ml “Optic Foliar TransPort” = 6.1 pH Rtu Mist (planning to add Fulvic Acid to this misting application. ie: drops/tincture TBD) - misted the tops and bottoms of leaves, as the lites go down - space is not an issue right now. 2nd week of March has been confirmed as the date to move the plants into the Bigger Tent. A relatively short Veg is planned ahead of the Spring season. Targeting a Harvest towards the end of May. It’s gonna be snug. Moving to the big tent Will see the move to Flower before the end of Mar. - These three are going to make good use of the 4x4 tent Feb 26th - introducing Humic acid to tonight’s feed for the 1st time. TDS is current @ 880 ppm

Mar 2nd - real growth is taking place with the A.G. & C.G. Both plants are producing the 6th node foliage and there is fresh growth at each node where it meets the mIn branch. - Dinner tonight after a 1.5 day dry spell. - TDS = 1270ppm *** this combination provided 2 separate soil treatments (humic acid+molasses) plus full nutrients for the foliage. Bigger than Norm concentrations that the plants will gobble-up. Close to max. - molasses being added every third meal Mar 4th/5th - nice to see how the Columbian is taking off in its growth. Spacing of the nodes will allow for a supercrop / FIMming to be done soon enough. Mar 6 - will put the phone down and take some real photos, between tonight’s fights. - still applying Foliar treatments - increasing liquid volumes as these plants are ready to go. Nice dark leaves, solid structures. 350 ml last nite ea. (5th) - these plants are targeted for a Short Veg. Hate to admit it for such a pair of classics. Next weekend will be 5 weeks and the 4x4 tent (CMH lite) will be ready. “Lites out” Blue God will stay in Veg till it catches up, then it’ll get shifted into flower as well. * liking all the info about short Veg cycles and then hard into Flower. I’m Giving it a shot! - Columbian is 6” Acapulco 4” - preparing to apply some HST to the Columbian Gold next week, its structurally ready. the act of FIMming will be carried out as well. - the Acapulco is going to have 2 of the Fan Leaves removed, to begin exposing the new growth beneath it... to a bit of direct light. We'll go from there. - Water Volume is going-up for each plant in preparation for the move to the bigger pot next week. 330 ml ea becomes 450 ml when I am able to next. Check the soil first... lift the pot...? ok water ! * there is a huge difference underneath the main canopy of these two plants. The congested space of the Acapulco Gold, has large bud sites and branches reaching out; while the Columbian Gold is providing nice even internodes and tiny branch & bud site development. Really an interesting side-by-side pair to accommodate. Mar 7 - soil is still moist , no feeding -everything looks so bloody healthy and I have a pretty good feel for how these two are differing; I FIMmed the Columbian Top, involving 7th/8th nodes; and I took 2 big Fan leaves off of the Acapulco just to get some light under the canopy. And they were both good moves. Mar 8 - Acapulco Gold had another couple large, shadow-making Fan leaves removed. (4 removed now) - FIMmed the top Node of the Acapulco *** FYI my last grow (pan x mal) was the 1st time I had attempted FIMming. Top node and each of the original bud sites were FIMmed once. It did have a positive impact on the number of bud sites. This grow will see ALL bud sites, FIMmed a couple of times each, as they become available. No hesitation !! - transplanting into the 10 gallon pots tomorrow. Plastic pot soil is staying Wet too long. Will move 3 into prepped fabric pots Mar 9th - the morning provided the perfect time, to add a little water, and then transplant these 3 into their final pots. The plastic pots were just not getting rid of any moisture. ie: small waterings and days of wet... Fabric pots will allow a more direct approach - give them a day or two to adjust and then the Colombian gets a 90 degree HST done on it. that’s also why the fan leaves are still in position, as soon as the top is bent over there will be no shadows - steady week of changes for the Acapulco & the Colombian gets its share very soon. The blue god is ramping-up it’s own growth and has a low and wide stance, its producing the 5th or 6th node now. My first Indica grow... * Bring on week 4, larger feedings and a 3100K 315 watt CMH bulb in a 4x4 tent ** adding Rezin to the feeding schedule *** switching to Flower in a week nutes + h20 = 980ppm TDS w/ Molasses = 1180ppm -Lites came on and I immediately applied some HST to the Colombian. It was bent at a 90 degree angle, between 3rd & 4th nodes. One down-side, Fan-leaf was removed and that was it, it went perfectly. This HST will prevent too tall of a plant from happening and is the beginning of my control in this grow

Mar 10th - with the move to 10 gallon pots yesterday, the feeding for each plant was bumped-up to 1.5 L each, to help introduce the new soil to Nutrients. It will take 3 or 4 days to dry before the next feeding. Waiting for the pot to lighten... - now that I know the 2 Golds and a God are going into flower this weekend... there is no use in running TWO tents at 19hrs each. Side by side! So this time the Maui’s will spend a few days in the big tent, before finishing their autoflower term when they go back to the other 19 hr tent Sunday. SAVING SOME HYDRO $ that’s all. Big tent gets Dark Sunday then goes to 12 hours shifts Mar 11 - these plants are healthy and growing; so I forged ahead and carried out a full FIMming assault on both the Acapulco & Colombian. 8 Bud, side-sites on each plant and the Top have now been FIMmed. Clean, easy and tasty - FIMmed the top-bud on the Blue God - FYI, that big white air conditioner / dehumidifier is not running. It will be positioned really soon, working out the exhaust and drainage needs... It is going to help ensure this crop has environmental Control come the end of June !! - still applying a Foliar treatment of Ocean Magic @ lites-out. * Foliar applications to continue to be daily until the 3rd week of Flower - LST training will be a daily thing now to check-on and refresh. Mar 12 - trimmed 2 fan leaves from the Acapulco and Blue God. These were big leaves up top, they had to go Mar 14th, - switch to Flower is delayed for a few days as I FIMmed a few sites on the Colombian and a bunch on the Acapulco They will be on a different lite-cycle by the weekend Mar 15 - light reduction has began and will be slowly lowered over the course of the week, until its at 12/12. This subtle shift is being used vs 36 hours of Dark, because of a FIMming job that I carried out the other day. By using a slight reduction daily, the plant will have a chance to recover accordingly, instead of waiting in the dark. It will realize there is less light and slowly move into Flower on its own. Thats the plan anyway... - Flower nutrients will be used in 2 or 3 weeks, its still too early yet Mar 17th - the Maui Wowie has moved back to its own tent, mainly for better environmental control. (Lower temp & humidity in late flower) - A/C & DeHumidifier ready for battle in the 4x4. - soil moisture checks, say whether or not they get fed tonight - added some Folic Acid to the Foliar spray this morning. I’ve been waiting to introduce it and will do so for the last few weeks before Flowers actually show-up. - “OHD” is the manufacturer of this folic acid and there is some proven science out there about huge increases in your plants Nutrient absorption, from the soil... and throughout your plants. ** I had to try it at $10/oz, with next day delivery (still took 2 weeks lol ) Use = 5 ml/L or 1 Tbsp/Gal on its own or added to your Foliar applications. - plants fed and a little Kelp Meal was also scratched into the soil prior to watering. 1st time ever. Trying to get my head around soil amendments and not OD’ing your plants...

Is there a good time to remove the big Fan Leaves “up-top”, from your month-old Vegetating plants? With so much fresh growth beneath them, wondering what brings the best results to FIMmed plant that will see light LST. Nothing drastic. Fan leaves are BiG

looking at the photo right now would be a perfect time, I myself use this same technique, but you should remove the second set of fan leaves from the top they are the biggest and blocking the most light.

Mar 18th starts week 5 off with a reduced line-up in the tent; Maui moved back to the small tent - LST to be applied to the Colombian Gold tonight. Branches are now workable... - plants fed last nite (17th) - lite cycle will be down to 12 hours tonight, completing the move into the flower cycle. We’ll see how long this gentle approach takes for “ Stretch/ Reach” to happen. - looking forward to having 3 different strains, each with a different structure, going at the same time... will be interesting. It’s the last batch before Summer ! (Hopefully not too far INTO Summer) Mar 19th - LST was applied to the Colombian Gold, and I was able to produce a fan pattern to the major branches. - as this thing takes off, there will be no smaller branches in the tent for this grow. Each grow I allow fewer small branches and see the merit in pruning more aggressively = much healthier plant & way less fluff on the scale Mar 20th, - last 100% Veg meal delayed till Sunday 21st. Then the transition to Flowering nutes is going to be introduced afterwards over 3 meals; 1/3 flower 2/3 Veg nutes; then 2/3 flower 1/3 Veg Nutes; then full strength from Week 6 onward - TDS = 1370ppm ( molasses on hold, It’s getting full ) Mar 21st, - applied some LST to the A.G. ahead of any growth spurts. This plant is growing incredibly well, filling the surface area with a healthy shrub and lots of new growth. Tilted the top... - C.G. is simply thriving in this environment. The LST applied to it has seen only new growth and seems a successful approach to dealing with a tall Lady. This plant will be well secured to keep the main branches low and attached to the pots sides. - B.G. is filling out and producing a lot of bud sites. Time to lose a couple more Fan leaves... - LST for the B.G. to help it define what goes where... - not feeding tonight, half-volume tomorrow ~ 4L Mar 22nd. HEAT DAMAGE !! - while messing around with the dehumidifier, and a partial-feeding, I accidentally moved the little micro-furnace that I have been heating the tent with... and did not put it back where it belongs. ** It looks like it took the exposed Head off-of the Colombian plant. The top that had extended (successfully) beyond the Pots edge. Properly secured via LST, it left it no room to turn away... I gave it a misting, re-positioned the heater again Facing into the Corner!, and turned the plant. Will assess tonight. Gave it an extra Foliar Spray !!! -the picture of the Colombian titled p.m. shows what part is affected the most - fed 1/2 volume Mar 25th - tonight’s dinner posted above; transitioning into Flower nutrients: 8L / 3 plants. - TDS = 1140 ppm; - w / Molasses = 1270ppm - there is a change happening in the plants Bud sites. They are all getting Lighter in colour. Bring-on those little hairs - removed the leaves / sprouts closest to the main stalk along each branch and any leaves facing Inwards - ratio of water/nutes is good now that we are in transition. The volume however will continue to grow over the next month as these ladies begin stretching and start making Buds now - the Colombian seems to be recovering from the heat exposure well enough. Clipped the obviously damaged branches and moved on. I just may get a bud on the main Cola after all... -happy with LST on a.g. & c.g., both plants will make full circles. There are only opposing branches on the main stems. -the goal is to secure each of these main-branches to the actual pot-brim shortly as “stretch”, is about to take place. - Foliar spraying to continue until Pistiles/Hairs show-up. Probably another week.

Should be the last for some time - most of the significant branches have now reached the pots edge and have been LST'd to the lip. Reach can now take them vertically Apr 8th, - steady growth on the Blue God and some LST applied to its branches. First Indica grow, leaving the main stalk intact to see how tall it gets - food/nutes tomorrow, making sure the soil is ready and drier - half Volume feed on 9th @ 6L TDS ppm = ? April 9 - OHD Kelp Meal added to the surface prior to feeding. Scratched 1/2 the recommended dose into the soil. I used 1/3 the dose almost a month ago, this will be 2nd ever application - Nutrient chart & Packaging from the kelp meal posted above; 5ml / Gal of the Pots capacity/monthly. 10 gal pot = 50 ml kelp spread on surface and scratched-in.

Apr 11th - menu is getting full with a TDS of 1100ppm, Molasses wil be included... new TDS = 1280 ppm - no leaf-pulling, maybe a branch or two to LST onto the rim. All the works done. - maintaining light distance by the Temperature of the Top Leaves. Keeping them 1-2 degrees below room Temp. “Lights too close, makes the leaves hotter than the room; also means they cannot breath”. Good example of using leaf temp to guide light height. Room is 26C, ideal top leaf temp of 24.5C Apr 13th - feeding tonight 13L / 3 (day 5 since last feed) 16th, - Blue God is winning the Height category, ready to blow past 14", and way ahead of the LST'd room-mates. 18th - feeding tonight; half volume @ 7L / 3

What is causing the RED stems on the fan-leaves of my plant. The Blue God is in week 3 of Flower. 2 other plants are getting the same diet and light and the B.G. is the only plant with red stems. How do you tell if it’s a deficiency or over-feeding? How can I turn this around?

No need to worry, some strains will get red stems no matter what you do and it does not require "fixing". Your plant will grow and flower just fine with its red stems. Hope this helps,.......... Organoman.

Apr 19th, - week gets off to a strong start with lots of activity on each plant; difference in Nodes on the branches is really obvious between Acapulco and Colombian. Columbian is filling the entire branch while the Acapulco is building separate Buds with spaces between them. The Blue God is producing a central Cola while also filling the lower branches. Each plant has now started to push out sticky smelly resin and boy do the buds look intricate. - fresh pics tonight - mid-flower chemical; lowered root booster down to mtce level and took a bit from Cal/mg that I added for flower transition - next feed is a big one, approaching 15L and maybe close to max for the 3 x 10 gal pots. Waiting until Pots are Light and I can feel it~ (Tues/Wed) - last feeding was 1/2 volume, so they will be ready. Will confirm status with moisture meter in the soil 21st - Kids were fed tonight. Large feed with only a small amount trickling out the bottom of the flex-pot from one of the plants... after a feed like that, I will wait in until the pot lifts easily before watering again. 26th, - last day of week 9. Tonight will see a little video in a swing around the tent, and will check on soil moisture, 5 days after a big feed... next is half-volume of the targeted Max (16L) = 8L - blue god has some buds that are really going through some positive changes. Very noticeable, pics to follow - 3 diff strains; 9 week, 10 week & 11 week projections for the flowering times... fingers crossed, it’s gonna be a fun time in early June

(1tsp/gallon of the pots size) - inserting some spacing-rods tonight to help spread out the mains on the Colombian. Top cola is a tight area with full branches - slowly lowering R.H. towards 50%. Reading-up on Colombian-grows and since it’s there the longest, it’s ideal conditions are leading the way May 2nd - feeding 16L / 3 plants tonight TDS = 1100 ppm May 4 - realizing on the last day of week 5 / start week 6; that I am staring down the barrel of a flush within a weeks-time. The Blue God is predicted to be ready late in week 8; yikes. And so it will go with A.g. next @ week 10 and then the C.g. @ week 12, ~ 2nd week o June - Trichome check tonight just to see where we are at weeks end

Why is this Indica so short? Week 5 of Flower finds this otherwise healthy Blue God standing tall at only 15” from the soil. Five week Veg?, 3100K lites?, I have no solid reasons to this point. Funny because it’s the first plant Indoors that I have not Shaped or HST’d.

May 5th - pics tonight, bring on week 6 of Flower 8th - some wonderful growth is happening after that last feed; specifically the Acapulco Gold buds have all become Spears in progress. Each bud, has now developed a point !!! PrettyKool - Colombian is becoming thicker and denser, with a sharp earthy smell. ** discovery. Here I am surprised to be flushing the b.g. this weekend. I almost forgot that it was germinated 1 full week behind the other 2. So that is a complete bonus. “it’s only week 5 for b.g.” Whew!! 9th - Plants get fed tonight, if the Pots are light; small drink @ 7L / 3 plants. - what’s-with the 2 air-pots in the Team-picture? I’m gifting one to a friend in a challenge; each 0.8 gallon pot has a Healthy Alaskan Purple seedling in it. Finally able to purchase some of these devices... time to see what happens with these things; “smart/air/pruning pots” - Molasses added to tonight’s dinner. 12th, - feeding was post-poned tonight just to “push” the plants a little. I noticed something different in each plant recently; they each have a different moisture content, and have had for several weeks now. Blue God gets dry, way before the Colombian Gold. With Acapulco Gold always in the middle between the other two. There is a definite difference in the absorption rates between the three plants. Giving the Colombian another night to get rid of some moisture, while the blue god can make due for one more nite. A little stress maybe for the bg... oh well. No drooping!

Feb 13th - last nite confirmed something that I had noticed over the last couple of weeks. There is a difference in how fast each of the 3 plants pics up its moisture. The blue God was very dry while the Colombian was at the other end of the scale; still moist. The A.G. is always between these two, never the same. - big feed tonight @ 16L / 3 plants - upon checking the Pots moisture levels, it was decided NOT to feed the Colombian Gold. The soils Moisture level was still too moist to go ahead and give it a big feeding. I can wait a day or two till it needs it. Pictures attached; identical conditions; solid schedule, the Colombian just stays wetter, longer. It now gets its 5.33 Litres a little behind the others. May 16th, - feeding day for the Colombian Gold and some trichome shots of the Blue God May 17th, - holding off on the Flush of B.G. till Wed. Still lots of clear trichomes, very few amber. May19th, -wow, talk about life getting in the way. And its all good. Its has just been very busy, And the plants need attention. As highlighted earlier, Blue God is at the end of week 6 now and tonite is its last meal; as per normal. Acapulco and Colombian are still too moist. - pictures and updates tonight May 20th - flush carried-out - tent empied washed; yikes - it is the end of week 7 for the Acapulco, and it get flushed at the end of week 8 with the Colombian. As busy as things have been, there will be lots of scrutiny in the next couple of weeks, as the Trichome watch begins.

May 21st - start of week 8 flower for the A.G. & C.G., they have their own deadlines approaching so there will be some pics shortly of the trichome status on all 3 plants. - a week behind the other 2; BlueGod has a shorter schedule and is under the spotlight now that its been flushed - a/c & dehumidifier are now in service and I will be getting the bugs out of the system re: “limits” with fans, temp & humid targets, heaters etc. - just giggling about how beautiful all if this bud is. Something has gone incredibly correctly this grow. *** FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER THERE ARE NOTHING BUT REALLY SOLID NUGGETS ALL OVER THE PLACE !! That, is a first - flushed plant will receive waterings w/ Rezin & Molasses till harvest. -going to push a.g. & c.g. with one more big feed tomorrow. ~ 6L ea. May 23rd, - often i make little comments about how small each of the plants are; and 1 of the key reasons for that... is that I only Vegged the plant’s for 5 weeks, and then still controlled height with HST... these plants are and have been an amazing grow, but next time they get Bigger b4 the Lites go Out !!! May 24th, Trichome images required a little bud from each plant. And the Acapulco & Colombian plants are the furthest from harvest, but both did show a few Amber trichomes. Together I shredded the 2 (a.g. & c.g.) buds and put them in a hot dry place for the day. After dinner and on a whimsy i rolled them up & did I ever get stoned/baked from a couple small buds from the adolescent plants. Famous but young, and did they ever Kick. That was so inspirational from a couple of legends. Cannot wait for a special harvest and a critical cure ! May 25th, the number of Amber trichomes on the Acapulco absolutely lead it directly to a flush on Thursday evening. End of week 8 in Flower. Hopefully the amber sweep is not too aggressive, it would be nice to milk this one along until the leaves are golden... - And of course, the Colombian is just Soo damn full of crystals. Clear crystals with equal amounts of Cloudy ones and a flash of Amber on the Fringes. CG gets flushed in 9-10 days as per the schedule. We’ll see what happens May 27th, - woke the Acapulco Gold up early and gave it a good shower ~ started its day early with 24 gallons worth. The feeding ingredients above are still the same for the Colombian Gold - 2 Flushed plants; will be fed as required with water containing 2ml/L Rezin & 2.5ml/l Molasses

May 28th, is the first day of week 9 for the Acapulco and Colombian. - Looking at the Calyx from each of the plants it is now obvious that the Colombian needs to be flushed as well. Not many clear trichomes left in my opinion, and there is a definite growing shade of amber. ASAP, I'm filling jugs next for tomorrow morning - Acapulco was flushed a few days ago, and that was a good call as well. -May 30th, Colombian Gold gets flushed tonight at the start of its 9th week in flower - note to self: put more Soil/Dirt in your Pots, right from the get-go. 2nd grow-n-a row where over the length if the grow, there has been a huge settling. I could easily add 4” to the 10lb fabric pot. Thats signif.... May 31st - Colombian was flushed. It took ~ 26 gallons to get the ppm down to 104 - Blue God given a 4L sweet drink (its last) and the Acapulco is still real damp from its own flush. June 3rd - had an incredible nite, with lots of photos to come! - Blue God Harvested after 2 1/4 days in the dark. - both the Acapulco & Colombian have leaves that are shifting and fading. Both are just plastered in glistening Trichomes. Almost cut a cheater just to smoke on the spot... did not lol - blue god harvested at the end of week 8 - Acapulco is now 8 days since it was Flushed and looks great. This time next week its hanging in the basement !!!!

June 3rd, 2021 - This grow has seen me produce, for the very first time... solid beautiful Buds throughout the entire 3-plant grow! A culmination of picking-up tips, trying new techniques, seeing shit with my own eyes, and having to respond accordingly. And this 3 plant batch, well it all came together! This blue god only had a 4 week Veg so I am looking forward to seeing it go BIG, Outside, the next time. Friends in the know are so eager for a taste. And thats all happening soon enough. -It has been wet-trimmed and hung to dry, on the 5th day the buds were clipped and put in air-tight containers, with moisture mgmt pouches. The herb has been burped 6-7 times/day. Last nite we rolled-up the first of the buds and had a fantastic experience. First taste ever if Blue God and it was impressive. A mouthfull of Berries, with maybe a bit of Pine, this smoke was easy, filled the Lungs with a smooth blast of Indica history and a look at where its headed. We did Not get couch-locked, we did not get stuck anywhere mentally or physically. And then we woke up ... lol So i’m saying it was a fantastic introduction to the operations of Jordan of the Islands as a fantastic breeder from BC. PS, if anybody at Jordan of the Islands is listening... Thanks for such a great Strain ! Cannot wait to see how God’s Poison works out this Summer, outside !!! Later Grow-on And Yes, i am giving this batch to my Son, so he can go have a blast with his Friends. So glad he shared this bit of info with me, because I cannot wait to grow one of these for myself. No hesitation, Blue God rocks

June 4th, start of week 10 in Flower for the Acapulco and Colombian Gold(s) - June 5th and its 10 days since the Acapulco was flushed and last nite, there just seemed to be a lot more Visible Amber. So, it’s a beauty day in Southern Ontario and I think the Acapulco gets put in the Dark. - got some cool photos this evening of the Acapulco and will post accordingly. - nugget taken from a prominent branch on the Colombian. That will see the scope. June 6 - trichome levels are exactly where needed, especially on the Colombian, so today I wet-trimmed both the Acapulco and Colombian - both are in the dark with a 50% humidity.

The Acapulco Gold was given a wet-trim in the afternoon on June 6th. Along with the Colombian. Both plants spent the last 36-40 hours in the dark, and today it was harvested & hung to dry. Details to come. I rated it an 8, even with the tiny yield. Early taste test was not worth considering, but the resulting buzz has great potential . Now a few days later, (13th) the smoke is really smooth, there is fuel-based fragrance that could have pine/skunk notes, but its building big-time. A nice alert buzz with a big shit-eating grin plastered on our faces lol. Those are the impressions I’m left with right now. So looking forward to a decent curing period and what it brings to this strain. Many years since I’ve seen or smoked it, and it kinda feels like it belongs right here already. - some pictures of the buds this aft, and the cure is in progress. July 11th, almost a month since harvest and this Bud has the deadliest electric smell. Everyone who has smoked it, loved it, plain and simple. Nuggets are uniform, solid and explode with a fragrance that had me wishing for more. Solid recommendation and a tough choice ahead, with 2 seeds still in the collection, and planning this Falls grow

Harvested and hung on June 8th, these branches are still hanging, 5 days later. The firm and dense buds are what I believe are behind the branches remaining so flexible. Yes, they are becoming less flexible and within another day or two I believe the first stage of drying will be complete. Then its a little clean-up and into mousture controlled, vacuum-tight containers for aome burping madness More to come... pictures of the buds this aft. None smoked yet
