Finished just in time with surprisingly nice resinous buds. Finished better than i thought she would.

Nice big robust plant with a great smell.

Great plant, and highly recommended. Nice and big frosty buds that are quite fast.

Fantastic plant worked really well.

Nice plant produced pretty purple flowers. Grow area clones were light deprived to force flowering and field clone vegged and flowered normally.

Fave strain for so many reasons. See Part 2 of Hash Bud manifold diary.

Very robust plant that likes to stretch. This one was 8 feet (244 cm) above the soil level with 16 main colas. It actually fell over once in a windstorm but it was completely fine. It’s not my favourite from QCS, that would be Hash Bud, but it is a really good strain that consistently produced lovely purple flowers.

Still my favourite plant from this year. See Part 2 diary for Hash Bud manifold for further comments.

Favourite strain from this year. This plant was grown from seed and was just slightly different than the big manifolded Hash Bud plant. Very robust and pest resistant.

Best phenotype from my cross of 11Roses Early Version with Auto Super Skunk was the field plant. The four plants in the grow area were just alright but they re-vegged and the buds weren’t that great. The field plant was sweet producing a very impressive 740 g dried which is tied for my record yield. The smaller plants in the grow area did not veg as long and averaged about 130 g dried after being force flowered starting in mid-July.

Beautiful no hassle plant turned a really deep purple colour in mid-September with the lower overnight temperatures. Plant re-vegged in August after being force flowered in mid-July so the buds weren’t as nice as they could be.

I had high hopes for this strain but it was a bit disappointing. Strong grower initially in the cool and wet spring, but the bud formation wasn’t great due to the re-vegging. Flowering was too slow to be practical here.

Very nice plant produced nearly one pound dried. This plant was ‘phyto-forced’ which seems like a bad term for this, but a far red light (730.nm) was shone on the plant for a few seconds at dusk each night. I used Civil Twilight as shown on Timeanddate.com for my location. This switches the plant into dark mode two hours early and has been described as creating essentially a 26 hour day. This red light was used as a bloom booster but also to induce flowering earlier than would otherwise occur. Seems a bit far fetched but mentioned in Ed Rosenthal’s Grower’s Handbook and does seem to work as claimed. Plants almost always take longer than advertised here, but this one was decently quick and did very well.

These plants started strong and produced really pretty purple flowers. Likes to stretch out and can get pretty tall but these were manifolded into 8 colas. The buds re-vegged after being force flowered in July likely due to the warm late summer weather and the still long daylight hours during flowering. One plant was mysteriously seeded which hurt flower and trichome production. No other plants around it were seeded so I don’t know what happened there but it was likely pollinated by one of my Gorilla Autos.

Three plants one of which was the rare purple pheno that was my favourite. It finished weeks earlier than the other two and the buds were great and probably my favourite ever. Would have loved to clone that one but I’m not setup for that. The other two were also not as nice a pheno as the big manifolded plant (see separate diary for that 668 g monster) but they both came through with a decent amount of nice buds.

Hash Bud is a cross of God Bud with Super Hash plant and it is awesome. Hash Bud is a strong grower, great smoke and is likely my all time favourite plant. My biggest ever yield of 740 g dried top shelf buds and super robust against bud rot or other problems. Total 10 Star ⭐️. Excited to make hash in a few weeks.

Awesome plant and possibly my all time favourite. Both plants grew quickly after a late start and had no real problem with cool overnight temperatures that slowed most plants. Sustained some hail damage on Sept 7 but still finished strong. First season trying manifolding and it worked great producing eight colas on these plants. Would likely be a great commercial plant.

Beautiful big buds despite being hammered hard by hail on Sep 7 about five weeks before harvest. This was the worst hit plant and the hail totally shredded the fan leaves on this plant. But she survived and the buds still matured nicely. Was grown in a smallish grow bag and was force flowered in mid-July to ensure it would finish in time. Without forcing this plant would not finish flowering in time this far North.

Candyland is definitely a favourite plant and smoke. The mother plant for these clones yielded 668 g dry (see manifold diaries).

One plant was good, one was just okay, and one was terrible. The okay plant as tied to the rim of the grow bag and could have done better. The bad one was just a bad phenotype that was stunted for some unknown reason. About 70% of weight is from first plant, and there was essentially nothing from the third plant so I’m only counting it as two plants.
