Okay, starting off here...plant 1 Burmese. I managed to get about twenty grams best bud to the final cure jar. The buds dried out very quickly after being hung over the window AC. They have a pugnant green nutty-berry aroma and vape smooth.They need the cure to be fully appreciated The effects are high potency, this could qualify as Thai stick. It is good weed, was difficult to grow, and I am not sorry I did. it has a racey and intense mental effect and probably a little over the mark for a lot of situations. A bit of THC overkill for casual settings. The four female plants produced 200-300 high quality regular seeds for the collection.

This is fir an inhouse strain of skunk1 and a few afganica' in pure and crossbred form. Potency is mild. For the nose you initially smell tropical fruit that diminishes to a jasmine or lilac or maybe lavender floral smell that thins away into a forresty, woodsy skunk aroma. The taste is like apple spice and black tea. The effects are a meditative relaxation body high accompanied by a meandering , mild psychedelic background buzz. The experience is comparable to a late afternoon respite in a high altitude meadow at the edge of forest with bubbling creeks and doubtful fishing crosshatched by long thin shadows Or a f that don't suit you, it is loaded with a fragrant harshness not unlike a beatle infested Spruce Forrest four weeks before fire season. So it's a seven. These are stupid seeds you don't want. I get them for free. So this strain review is a useless thing for anyone to read. The most useful entries in this diary are weeks 6-10 because I had serious issues that I was able to correct and save this grow using an anti root rot micro organism that also doubled as a sort of probiotic for nutrients absorption at the root level. That stuff rescued this grow so for something useful you should be looking at that

Helmand. This one occupies the center position of an Afghan mix. It is 100% green, red haired indica with a forestal, pungent, floral, skunky Odor. Dank. The vape and the smoke have a resinous hashy cannabis flavor with undertones of apple, spice, and mint. The effects are relaxing, comforting body relaxation and a friendly mildly psychedelic state of being. If I were buying buds off the shelf I would award it a 10 but the ratings are mostly based on your growing experience. My growing experience was a successful harvest but I had issues with the plants being attractive to leaf mites and they seemed sensitive to nitrogen and the acidic soil environment. Nothing I couldn't cope with but they do require close attention. Pure Indica growers will know exactly what I'm talking about Helmand grows short and produces a fat top cola. It has a branchless phenotype and a straight angular basal radiating branch array phenotype that is only moderately branchy or bushy. These branches are thick and not curved or else not present at all The top cola is most of the yield in every plant. I would recommend not ever topping any of these, unless you really, really want to. This is a pure Indica. Breeders may want it for that reason. The flavor is another attraction- it tastes like good weed The size is compact. Those are the potential cross breeding traits Helmand Afghan offers. A small challenge to grow, good results.

This is a big plant that has been moved around a lot. Finishing up indoors. Would have done much better if it were possible to let it finish outdoor. Nanda Devi is a branchy, stretchy sativa that is difficult to contain. It's a big fast sativa for sure The dried buds smell like dried out orange. The buzz is only light and it gets you feeling lazy and not feeling like doing much. It may have a CBD benefit as well, sort of like a 50:50 concoction might. I actually love it as a shake weed. It is very entertaining to grow and strongly resist pests and other issues. pH and nutr tolerant, a very fun growing experience but only a mildly pleasant buzz. Not fancy top shelf dispensary grade but certainly was fun to grow. I have lots of these seeds and will very likely plant them again For breeders, it might be a good cross strain to consider for resistance and tolerance traits.
