EXZELENS

In her first days of curing she had a strong tropical with a subtle lemon smell. Then it developed to a strong lemon smell followed by a subtle tropical mangoish smell. As of now, smoking her, I taste strong lemon with a little tropical. Aftertaste follows with the classic diesel taste of autos. It´s THE perfect daytime smoke for me, a predominant sativa that wakes you up and relaxes both body and mind. One thing I noticed is that the CBD really helps with the munchies and paranoia. She doesn´t have any of those effects (naturally) but it helps even with those that have when I blend her with. This strain is extremely reccomendable for anyone really. Now, growing her was quite easy. It´s a strong strain dealing with pests (my case were thrips) and with nutrients. She´s a regular drinker, not much neither too little. Pretty easy to LST her, she had strong yet flexible stems. Didn´t stress much when I trained her but it could´ve been better in that regard. Yield was good and thricome production was incredible. In conclusion: a really easy to grow strain, suitable for anyone, both for growing and smoking. Thank you so much for reading my review, hopefully it was useful. Peace and stay safe ✌️

First of all, I want to start saying that Stress Killer backfired and stressed me – well, at least a little at the end of flowering -, even so, it made to its purpose after all. GROWING: Germination was a little bit complicated, it took 7 full days and out of 3, 2 seeds germinated, being this one what I call phenotype #1. At her first days she grew exceptionally, as well as the whole veg phase. This pheno has some really good internode spacing, giving you enough for airflow and avoiding a whole lot of defoliation for me. I started the LST on the 3rd week and she responded very well to it, showing no significant >stress< at all. Pre-flower started at the end of the 4th week/beginning of the 5th and that´s when she started stretching A LOT, to a point that I couldn´t control her LST so well anymore at the end of the 5th week. She didn´t drank too much neither too little water. Bud formation started at the beginning of the 6th week and she continued to grow vigorously untill the 9th week, where she was basically just maturing the thricomes while fattening a little tiny bit. At the end of the 9th week I expected another 2 weeks for her to get mature to the point that I wanted ( about 30% amber ). But then, it happened. The stress was real and she was not ready yet to kill it. At day 90 she was diagnosed with severe rot and I had to put her to eternal sleep. It was no fault of the genetics tho, I later on discovered that the humidity got to 88% during lights off and that is certainly the problem. She deals greatly with pests ,and mold probably, but the situation was way over control. The branches weren´t so thick but were strong. Overall, it´s a nice seed to grow, it´s strong, quite easy, as most of RQS autos, and yielded just fine. REVIEW: Ok, so that´s the part where she surprised me. After exactly 8 days of drying and 14 days of curing, even tho I like to cure at least 3 weeks, she is all ready to smoke and I can already know a bit of her potential. She was already smelling incredible in the 3rd day of cure. A smell strong yet subtle of fresh lemon. Now the taste is something else. Different from pheno #2 ( my other Stress Killer grow I did side-by-side ), this herb doesn´t have the flavors expected for this genetic. The taste is a subtle lemon followed by a medium spicyness and ending with a strong diesel flavor. The lemon fades almost instantly, while the diesel and spicy taste remains at the mouth for a while. After that, you get at first a relaxing body high ( probably the CBD hitting faster than the THC ), followed by a subtle, yet noticeable uplifting high that makes you more creative, willing to do chores or new things at your free time. It´s good to watch something or to play videogames as well. In terms of effects, it´s the perfect smoke for anything you want to do, excpet sleeping ( at least for me ). And its ok potency guys, I get it, she has at optimal conditions 11% THC and 8% CBD, which is not much. But that gives me a good margin to smoke more quantities ( which I know won´t be good for everyone ), get less stupidly high and in the end, to work more as well. The only two downsides I found, which you find in basically every herb, are a little bit of dry mouth and sometimes a little accelerated heartbeats, or at least the feeling of. To conclude it all, it´s a smoke that I would recommend to anyone. The downsides are really subtle, maybe due to the CBD content, it tastes good, smells good and makes you happy and more proactive.

GROWING At first, I had no expectations for this one, it was just a test of mine to see how an auto goes untrained. Vegetative phase was nice, no troubles at all. When pre-flower came I saw that she was not just an auto, it was THE auto. When flowering came, I noticed she was going to be big, and oh was she. Didn´t get much tall but had long flexible branches. In late flowering she started to develop some beautiful purple and the buds started to get so heavy the skinny branches weren´t holding it. It was a matter of time untill she collapsed, and she did, so I supported her with ropes when I woke up and she was all over her younger sisters. By the way, I think if you intent on doing a Hulkberry Auto grow, be prepared to support or train her somehow. Also, she seemed like a long runner, she was harvested on week 13th and it wasn´t nearly enough to get the thricomes amber (not that I wanted it). Great against pests, I had some problems with other girls on the tent but she wasn´t affected at all. The bud structure is good and pretty looking. It isn´t very dense but it´s big. It got purple on the sides that were getting direct light, I don´t know the explanation. The smell was strong, hella strong. Overall a very beautiful and resistant plant, with nice and strong smells. The only thing is that she doesn´t have very strong stems, but that´s alright. SMOKING What a daytime smoke.. I´ll start right off with this. Even tho she has 30% indica genes, it feels like it all goes to the body, getting all the muscles relaxed in a super relaxing way. Now, for the 65% sativa, it isn´t that high that makes you accelerated, overthinking stuff and so. It is a really mellow sativa, in a really good way. It is so good that I have a problem I never thought I´d had: I CAN´T STOP SMOKING IT. It doesn´t hit you with that feeling of being stupid high (even tho you probably are), it is a sweet and relaxing smoke for doing chores or being creative. The flavours are mainly Sweet with a little floral in the inhale and Diesel on the exhale and aftertaste ( I think the latter due to the Diesel Auto genetic background). The only negative point I feel like mentioning is that I get REAL thirsty when I smoke it. Well, I think that´s it. This grow surprised me so much I can´t explain. I had no expectations and ended with this beautiful looking and good tasting plant. Would I recommend it? Hell yeah, go on and grow it yourself if you are interested in the Hulkberry Auto. Thank you so much for reading my review. A special thanks to the GD team and every person that helped me out through here. Peace ✌️

GROWING: Growing this plant was kinda of a pain because she had early stress generated out of nowhere, which led to 2 - 3 weeks of stunting followed by real weird ( and funny ) mutations once I corrected the Nitrogen deficiency ( yeah, on the first week it had N deficiency ). It´s stems are light but strong, it´s strong against pests and looks beautiful. The only problem I see are the mutations ( which I read some people talking about and from experience I agree, the ´Berry´ genetics are a little unstable ) that led to a very little harvest, but I´m good with that, it a was a very rewarding experience. SMOKING: First off, this is a smoke report of it not yet cured ( and probably won´t ever be, honestly lol ). It is really good to smoke even without curing. Tastes a lot fruity and a little fuely in the after taste. I won´t speak of the smell ´cause it´s not cured, but it already smells good, which is awesome. The high is a little energetic, a lot euphoric and also kinda relaxed. It definetly feels like a sativa but not those 80-100% sativas that will get you really energetic with accelerated heartbeats and paranoia, no, it feels like a really smooth and sweet daytime smoke.

GROWING: It was an awesome experience growing this plant, it´s so amazing to see it from seedling to a big and beautiful plant. I couldn´t ask for anything more on my first grow. It is an incredible genetic, strong from pests and stress. This one seems to have been a really strong phenotype, hence my other harvest I did last week were a NL of mine had a really weak pheno and had stunted twice. Also, I thing that I found to be awesome was the purplish colors it developed on the top buds, I think due to cold temperatures. The roots developed pretty well, maybe even started rootbounding. It´s really a great genetic overall, beautiful, dense, sticky and smelly buds. And I´m really happy with the results, the weight was pretty good and quality looks and smells to be awesome. Would I recommend it? Absolutely, it´s as easy to grow and forgiving as it can be. SMOKING: So, first off I want to start saying that I´m really really happy with how it turned out. It´s incredibly pleasurable to smoke and even tho it doesn´t have a high THC grade, it´s strong enough for a 1 gram~/day consumer. The taste is mainly woody, then in the aftertaste I got herbal and a little earthy/pine. The high is really good and smooth, better for the night time or when you don´t have chores to do, because first: you will be waaaay too relaxed and sleepy to have will to even move (and the thricomes weren´t even 10% amber); second, I got a little dumb and slow, I confess. By the way, doing this review is a little hard right now because of this. But the high is really good for enjoying something, I got really chilled out. The negative side is that my eyes and mouth are a little dry, but not anything that bad. And I´m hungry. Really hungry. Well, I guess that´s it. It´s a really good smoke, the high is good, it has an awesome taste and it´s overall incredibly pleasurable. Now, I´m going to make something to eat. Thanks for reading! I really appreciate comments! Peace.
