JaysBuds

Still unsure if it's the BigBud or genetics, but had some crazy big kola's on this run. Have to do a side-by-side with clones to see for sure.

Not sure if it's my fault (multiple stressors) or genetic instability, but this plant did not turn out to be Tangerine Dream Auto. I'm a HUGE fan of TD, but this is not it. Neville's Haze has a woody taste with small fingerling buds. It's a great daytime/productivity strain that lets you keep your senses about you while performing whatever you have to do. As bubblehash, this plant is quite nice, but I don't particularly like the smell, flavour, or effects of the plants or buds. I have a million seeds from this hermied monster, and other than throwing in the trash am not sure what I'm going to do with them. Maybe a sativa outdoor bubble run, maybe trash or cereal...

My 2nd run with these nutes now, but my first with a reservoir. pH "pefect" is good when first mixed, but rises over the week in the reservoir.

Tangerine Dream is a potent, mostly sativa anytime cruiser. Lost a lot of smell during drying but came back through and through with cure time. A little head-cloudy and a lot relaxed, TD doesn't keep you up at night but isn't too head-busy either. One of my all time favs as a daily driver that makes anything more enjoyable.

Neutral - I ran way under the recommended dosage and got great results, that could be the genetics, or could be the nutes. I won't be messing with the recipe much (I tried different ratios of G/M/B and it did NOT appear to help in any way.) It may have caused some of the spotting/issues that I ran into.

One-Hit-Wonder Critical Purple. I have one only one word to describe this strain: "HEAVY". Definitely be bedtime buds - it knocks me out Every. Single. Time. It starts with a wave of calm and moderate body buzz; so you sit down. Then your eyes start to get heavy, and....then... you're...asleep. If you manage to fight yourself awake for the duration, you're in slow motion with basic functions being a pretty good challenge. If you manage it as a daily driver, prepare to be heavily dopey/stoned with lots of 'next day stupids'. But this isn't a strain review it's a growing review, so onward... After many years growing bonsai photos then of not growing at all, this was my first forray into autos. CP Appeared to be a pretty simple strain to grow, and would fit my medication needs for pain killing and sleep aid. As recommended, I didn't want to stress/stunt the plant and also wanted to see what these autoflowers (and this strain) would do with minimal training. Turns out, quite a lot! Although the plant probably could have used more food all around (will try 1/2 strength GMB+ 3/4 Calmag), and a bit more training to widen/flatten the canopy, Critical Purple has the potential to have MUCH tighter nugs. I ended up keeping the trimming pretty loose, it's SO sticky - coated with trichs and DRIPPING with resin. After cure smell is "1997 Nestea Iced Tea Crystals" - sounds odd but you know what I'm talking about, and it's fantastic (and accurate). I've read a few other journals here & there for CP, and it appears this blotching/rust/spotting is a thing - nobody has figured out what it is or what's causing it.
