I love this strain. It's tough as nails. Can take so much drought abuse. It's chunky buds are thick. It's a sturdy plant for sure. The only knock i can say about it, is it's not that potent. It's Lemon Joy x Master Kush. Developed by Female Seeds. I've had this strain for a few years and it's served me very well. I've grown quite fond of it so to say goodbye to it isn't easy. I'm still not completely sure i want to let it go just because it's no longer available as Female Seeds is no longer in business. So i don't know.....yet.

Biscotti Mintz. It didn't grow or yield how i was expecting. I believe my light intensity was not up to snuff. It smells nice and is frosty, but for the moment it's in the process of being trimmed and dried so a final determination of the smoke and quality and all of that will come later via edit. It wasn't difficult to grow, and i wouldn't say it's overly strong smelling, but that could just be my nose being used to living amidst the constant stink of growing weed in the house. Unfortunately another strain in the garden seeded and seeded the entire crop, so I only salvaged a small amount of the buds for smoking. The rest went into the bin for bubble hash later on.

Lemon Kush is an easy to grow strain. It is not a bushy variety and has a very sativa dominant growth pattern but with Indica dense buds. It does not get very bushy so there is no need to defoliate. Light will get right down to the very bottom of the plant so there is no need to strip away any lower growth. Everything fills out. Out of 9 plants i may have tossed away 5 whispy buds off the bottom, but the rest was all dense and frosty. Lemon Kush does not lend itself to topping very well, so if you have this strain (if it still exists, Breeder is no longer in business) you may not get the desired growth pattern you were looking for. You will not end up with 2 tops. The side branches are all you will get. This strain doesn't grow any leaves out of the nodes on the main stalk. Breeder claims 19% to 26% THC range. This run I stressed the plants severely the final week in an effort to create more resin. The lights were left on 24 hrs a day for 3 days and then only darkness. I did notice a few bananas in the buds. Not many though and nothing viable that would produce pollen. I'm not sure if the stress i put the plants under the final week caused that, but i never saw anything through the course of the grow, and there was no signs of seeds during the trim. Why this platform asks for the wet bud weight is beyond me. Who cares about weighing water? To me, the dry weight is the number people want, so i'm not going to bother pulling all the buds off the drying rack just to weigh water weight and then put them all back on the rack. Just stupid if you ask me. Pictures will come when the drying process has completed. As well as dry weights for each plant in grams. Plants were harvested and wet trimmed by hand using scissors. Carefully trimming and cutting away as much leaf material and stem as possible. Then placed on a drying rack in the bathroom. My place is warm always because of the temperature in the hallway outside, so heat just wofts in from under the doorway. It can be -40c and i don't need to turn my thermostat on. The positive air pressure in the hallways makes it so i can run without carbon filters and there is no odor in the hallways at all. So in the bathroom the temperature averaged 24c. No extraction fan except for when i went in to pee. Otherwise lights off and no exhausting. Humidifier was set to higher than normal to slow the drying process. Humidity was set to 70% and the flowers were left on the rack for a full 7 days. After the 7 days had past the buds were inspected and deemed dry enough (but still a little moisture in the middle) they were bagged up into a 1lb Grove bag for curing and continued evaporation down to 62% Humidity monitor placed inside the bag. Grove bags are great. They will hold the perfect humidity without the addition of a Boveda Pack, and will also allow for the gas off of chlorophyll without having to burp 100 jars every week or day or whatever.
