I harvested when all trichomes were cloudy, with only a few amber. The result was a nice uplifting high that lasted for a few hours. Found smoking a lot can bring on a headache, which is apparently common with the Emerald Headband genetics.One of three plants went purple and had, by far, the most dense buds of the three and a heavy coating of trichomes. Trimming wasn't too bad with her high bud to leaf ratio. They grew short and stout as advertised and definitely benefited from LST. Great smell of berries and skunk and taste that hints at pine and wood. Maybe not the most potent, but overall a solid strain.
Fast finisher, the Black DOG was done between 49-61 days. LST is a must to get a decent yield. She stays short and stocky and produces THICK colas of dense buds. I stepped on the nutrients around week 5 (1100 ppm) and she responded well with only minor leaf tip yellowing. A quality offering from Humboldt that anyone can grow and be happy with.
@MrJones this was my 2nd attempt and I think I'm making some decent progress. A lot to learn and read...It definitely helps to have this community for pointers along the way. Thanks for checking out the grow homie
@Rock_n_Roll_Randy, Supposed to be a super potent strain but I've never seen it around. She's a 9-10 week Indica and doesn't have a high yield so maybe that's why. I'll take quality over quantity any day though ๐ฌ๏ธ
@Rock_n_Roll_Randy, Absolutely. After this fall I'm starting all new strains. Trying to choose 4:
Granddaddy Black
Cement Shoes
The True OG
DarkStar Kush
French Macaron
Cafe Racer
Zkittles Glue
