The Mint Jelly did great with the cold weather challenge. Especially impressive bc the summer grow plant went through some heat waves and did fine, just ate it up. I got 17.1 grams which is fine with me, wasn't expecting a big yield but really just testing the genetics. Humboldt Seed Co... what can I say. Can't wait to do more in 2024. Smoke report after 2 weeks curing: amazing, excellent, smooth, very high with a few good puffs; the little pipes just right size for a strong high. Interestingly, even though some of my buds trikes were still clear it’s still getting me way higher than CB’s is with their own clear trikes. Anyway I’m loving the Mint Jelly

She was the tallest of the three at 28", and harvested at day 64.

Mango Smile did great, handled the heat waves well, and kept up with her neighbors. Smelled amazing, fresh mangoes all the way. She only yielded 22 grams dry but hey I'll take it!

I'm 6+ months overdue for this update. Been busy. She did great outdoors, and took some heat waves with 100F+ temps just great. She was ready for harvest at day 57, WAY before I would have expected. I'm assuming it's related to the heat waves, but the buds turned out great, and there didn't seem to be any negative effects from the heat. So Mint Jelly is a hardy plant, I can say... this past winter I kept another MJ outside in 40 degree F cold on some nights and she did great with that too. (that'll be in a diary coming soon) My only complaint is, I only got 18.2 grams dry. But the buds smelled amazing , lots of citrus, frosty too. Next time I'll give more nitrogen early on to hopefully get a better harvest.

This was my first try grow Jack outdoors. They got stunted early on when I transplanted and topped them, also the cold weather held them down a bit. But they got through early setbacks and stayed small but healthy the rest of the grow. It's a beautiful plant with more sativa-like thin leaves. It's not frosty with trichomes but that's to be expected since Jack is not bred to be super strong THC-wise. It's more of an old fashioned smoke which I love, it doesn't knock you on your ass.

I am super impressed with FB's Bruce Banner. Great outdoor strain as advertised, very hardy. It endured a lot including cold weather, topping, transplanting, an attack by my cat (the little bastard), and of course was under constant attack by whiteflies, aphids etc. They were stunted early on but otherwise did great. Beautiful structure to the plants, with the leaves reaching upwards. These grew next to my two Jack Herers and I was struck by how frosty the Bruces got compared with the Jacks, which was expected. Can't wait to smoke the finished product. Will definitely be growing again soon.

This was my first FB grow and first time growing Jack Herer, which is one of my favorite strains to smoke. I really have no complaints about the strain, it got huge in the tent despite my pruning, it was very vigorous the whole grow. Can't wait to smoke post-cure!

This is a pretty new strain from Gnome Automatics, I haven't seen any moth man grows on GD besides this one. I thought the buds were really pretty dark shade of purple, but they weren't frosty and I found I had to smoke more than usual to get lifted. She grew taller than the mint jellys and was vigorous except right after the topping in week 3. The buds were a little fluffy, not dense. I probably won't grow this one again because I'm looking for more trichomes and terps. But I'll def be getting other purple bud seeds in the future.
