After harvest she's been hanging out in an actively ventilated cardboard enclosure in my not-creepy-at-all basement for 3 weeks in about 25°C with a varying but relatively stable humidity between 45%-60% RH. Since a lot of her sugar leaves made it through quality control (yours truly) she definitely needed that extra time in there. What came out of the box the other day was nothing short of fantastic. While the chlorophyll still created some of its harsh, grass-ish smell, her underlying, sweet scents already pierced through and gave away what a some curing could do. And a lot it did do, already, after just two weeks. The fine aromas of the flower are already predominant and especially smaller buds are already deliciously persuasive during the daily airing routine. So what had to happen did happen and she found its way into me. Both through a vape (VapCap) and by more traditional meanings - as joints (Damiana). While the latter doesn't fully do her flavours justice, vaping her absolutely does. The heavier base, sweet and kind of earthy with an overlaying sweetness reminding me of raspberries and a almost tropical, mango-esque high-end. Other than that she hits me like a steam locomotive, both psychically and physically. On the physical side she's very relaxing and kind of heightening my tactile sensibility. On the mind-side she focuses me, locks me on a thought, and let's my mind wander down that path. Which, in combination with the physical relaxation, makes for great evenings with tasty food, good music, something to dream about or a guitar. Overall I can say that from seed to harvest to curing she's been great and I'm really happy with what has become of her - and looking forward to see what she'll become. Since a couple of days she's chilling in her glass jar alongside a 62% Boveda 8 humidity control.

My outdoor grow in the 15l Zamnesia fabric pot was doing well and in the 12 weeks from seed to harvest my plants did not need anything more or less than what was provided. However, last year's grow under similar conditions was more successful.

Growing was straight forward and unproblematic. No special care was needed and what became of her was nothing shy of amazing. The reason why she couldn't live up to her full potential was mismanagement by myself, by not providing a large enough container. Nonetheless she grew into a beautiful, tall plant. Harvest was easy peasy, as her flowers weren't too dense and did not contain too many sugar leaves. This made trimming easy and I was able to avoid messing with her trichomes during the process. As a matter of fact I didn't have many trimmings from this beauty which is why I did not make any canna butter. She dried for about 5 weeks in an actively ventilated cardboard box, right next to her usual neighbours, before she was ready to translocate into a glass jar. As there was not much leave material in and around the buds, curing did not take that long, so she was ready to be tasted in a matter of weeks. That fruity, citrus smell translated into her taste as well, especially when vaping her. She tasted really good, could've been a bit sweeter in my opinion. No matter whether I smoked or vaped her, the effects that kicked in were very much the same: a euphoric mind high with occasional munchies, but not too much effect on the body. I felt energized and creative while I was able to "cut off" the rest of the world.
