STOMP STOMP STOMP

Another plant murdered in cold blood... She came down on day 68 from sprout, which is pretty fast! I do tend to harvest earlier than some might like, as you can see from the trichomes which were pretty low % of amber, but that's just my preference to avoid too much heavy couchlock after smoking. >> HARVEST AND TRIM << Happy days! She yielded quite well, though honestly I did expect it to be more given the density of the buds on the stems. Not going to turn my nose up at 271g wet though, she should come down to about 2.5oz dry I guess. We shall see in a week or so... I trimmed quite heavily when wet as the weather has been a little cooler recently. I normally like to trim off only the largest fan leaves for the first few days of drying, but I went in quite heavy handed right from harvest this time. I'll definitely be saving the trim off this one as it's absolutely covered in trichomes, so should get a fair amount of kief off her. Everything went into the drying rack on full stems, in 50% Relative Humidity and temps around 16-20C. >> DRY BUD REPORT << Dry took 6 full days, which is a little quick but not really too much different to how it always goes in my conditions. Dry weight came out at 59g/2oz which is okay I guess, but the bud itself is a real prize and feels rock solid. She really stank out the house for the first few days of drying, this is really not one for stealth, not by any stretch. The smell did calm down somewhat after, but I really, honestly have to warn you away from this strain if smell can be an issue for you. Now it's all dry the scent is lovely, slightly sweet, a little gasoline, a little pine.. actually it is really complex for weed, but definitely great. >> EARLY SMOKE << Test nug was a bit harsh but that's obvious as it was straight from the rack and without any cure, so I expect that to go away over the coming weeks. taste in a vape was beautiful though, very strong flavours and as complex as the scent. Over-riding everything is a sense of sweetness though, which is really pleasant. The high was good, very, very relaxing, hitting me in the chest quite hard and turning my muscles to jelly. Quite a strong strain and for my tastes definitely one for before bed. >> FINAL THOUGHTS << This was a really nice grow. I loved the plants structure and the scent was unreal. I also loved how frosty she got, turning white under the LED, so very pretty to look at. As far as growing goes, it was very easy to look after and had very little problems. The only thing to really be careful of is nutrients for the first 5-6 weeks, as it was really sensitive to Nitrogen. Next time I grow this strain I would probably go right down to a 1/4 nutrient mix for those weeks. Training was good though and this plant was totally fine with it, responding really well and growing through it all without a hitch. I still have 4 seeds left and I'll absolutely be growing it again, perhaps not straight away as I like to keep things varied, but I'll definitely use up the seeds and look forward to growing them out. Thanks a lot for following along with the grow, here's to the next one! Stay healthy and grow well, cheers!
