Philindicus

I'm still having major issues uploading photos to my GD diaries. I will keep trying to post some again when I have more time. This strain grew well with a nice dark purple coloration. I unfortunately had one seed which couldn't push its way out of her shell. While growing it smelled like ripe grapes with a hint of spicy cream mixed in. It was outrageously frosty could be one of the frostiest strains I've grown. Very tight packed trichomes covered the buds. Nice heavy calyx to leave ratio making trimming very easy. Very flavorfully spicy yet fruity taste with a hint of grape.

I'm having issues uploading photos I will try again tomorrow. Genetics: Purple Thai x Pluto cut Auto. She's a short sweet strong kickass floral, incense, spicy flavored smoke I feel she's a tie with Ethos OG kush or slightly stronger. Buds were nice, dense and hardened off nicely after curing and were densely covered in trichomes. Pulled out some nice purple color out of them. I look forward to growing her again in the future.: 1:

I'm having issues uploading photos why I don't know. This was a decent strain to grow and smoke. The description claims 60 % Indica but the phenotype bud structure resembled more sativa like. Top cola buds were fairly dense but not as dense I like on my grows. Topping or fimming may be beneficial to limit height/internode stretch and to develop denser colas. I would like to try growing her again just to see if I can do her justice since I was dealing with some nutrient deficiency issues mostly nitrogen. It was a nice flavorful fairly smooth day time sativa leaning smoke

Fast Buds Blue Dream'Matic is a very nice strain fairly fast growing with nice fat chunky buds with an above average frosting. High calyx to leaf ratio which makes trimming and harvesting a breeze. They showed a bit of fox tailing but nothing extreme. Some buds showed some purple coloration which adds to the bag appeal. Watch how much you feed these girls, they seemed to not like heavy feedings in my opinion. I got a nice harvest quantity for the size of my pots and above my usual average for my grow which is a nice bonus. I'm running a 240 watt bloom light for that half of my tent which produced 270 grams which is 1.125 grams per watt. They are an XXL strain and believe if grown in 5 gallon pots they could possibly produce more weight in the right hands. Smoke was very tasty with a slight berry/citrus taste with an earthy finish on the back end of the exhale. Definitely a nice sativa day time type smoke so she's not a day wrecker.👍👍

OFFICIAL STRAIN REVIEW ETHOS OG KUSH AUTOFLOWER Rbx Genetic Lineage: (‘92 OG Kush x Diesel Ryder) x Pluto Cut Sprout to Harvest: 70-80 Days 4- Plants Grow area 2 ft x 2 ft=4 sq.ft. (Half of a 2 ft x 4 ft grow tent) G8-240 Veg/Bloom light draws 140 true watts G8-450 Bloom light draws 240 true watts 4 sq. ft. / 240 watts = 60 watts per square ft. Harvest weight 266 grams = 9.38 oz. 1.10 grams per watt 66.50 grams per sq.ft. 2.34 oz per plant average ABOUT THE GROW Started them in my Veg. tent under one 140 true watts full spectrum G-8 LED light. Maintained a high humidity during the first week to week and a half until modest root development and leaf growth was obvious. Then slightly lowered humidity in stages to increase the transpiration rate and encourage them to begin feeding. Seeds sprouted quickly telling me they were strong, nice and fresh. Seedlings showed strong rapid root development which allowed me to water to the point of run off by the end of week 3 about a week earlier than most strains I’ve grown. Leaf size/shape where more of a large wide darker green Indica hybrid to start then the blades narrowed slightly upon maturity. Size of main cola leaves were hand sized. Started LST training in week 4 bending back the main stem at about 6 inches above the base of the plant when they were 9 inches tall, then repositioning of the lower stems for ideal placement. Leaf tucking and swinging/tying back the large fan leaves to the rear and sides of the developing main cola were performed. They immediately started stretching and were about ¾ of the way through their stretch by the end of week 4 requiring me to swing the main colas to the front and rear of the side of the tent to control the amount of light intensity to the upper cola. Week 5 they were transferred to the bloom tent under a 240 true watts G-8 bloom light where they finished up the last bit of their stretch with ideal internode length to allow ample light to reach bud sites where preflowers were already developing. I removed the lowest bud sites on the lower branches to encourage more prominent upper bud development and removed a few of the lowest fan leaves over a period of the next few weeks. They received their first nutrient feeding. Week 6 through harvest the plants handled intense lighting and nutrients/watering very well including some slight underwatering events. Weekly applications of LABS (Lactic Acid Bacterial Serum) and Organic Blackstrap Molasses solution were used week 6 through harvest to aid in terpene development and feed microbial colonies in the substrate. Day 63 standard 10-to-14-day flush period before harvest. ABOUT THE FLOWERS Showed sex on day 17 and began to develop preflowers in week 4. By week 5 the size and bud complexity were beginning to develop. Week 6 obvious signs of trichome development was seen on the buds. Week 7 and 8 buds began filling in and calyx were evident then started to swell slightly and give off a nice lightly scented sweet chem smell. Week 8 pistils are drying and curling into the calyx which were swelling up nicely. Week 9 the buds started throwing out some nice coloration and bulked up like plump little grapes. The stems were getting heavy with the weight of the buds. Smell was absolutely insane permeating the house with a sweet spicy chem smell. Trichome color were some clear/half cloudy, the majority were milky with a good 5 % amber showing. Week 10 the buds are almost ready and display a heavy chunky high calyx to leaf ratio and are covered with mostly milky trichomes with about 10% to 15% amber showing. ABOUT THE HARVEST Harvest was one of the easiest I’ve done took them on day 75. Main cola was mostly cloudy/milky trichomes with about 15+% amber. After removing most of the largest fan leaves at the end of week 10 all that needed to be done was remove any larger sugar leaves then cut the tips off anything that wasn’t completely covered in trichomes. The dense swollen calyx made up the majority of the bud so I had very little to trim off of them. ABOUT THE DRYING PROCESS I typically hang my branches from regular wire clothes hangers I like to use a fine florist type wire to wrap under the stems of the last buds give it a twist then wrap it a few times over the hanger. One hanger seems to hold one plants worth of branches. These are placed in a dark closet or back into the tent with a small fan indirectly blowing near them. I typically dry for the first 2 days at 45% to 50% humidity 73 F to get the bulk of the moisture out of them. Then the humidity is raised to 55%+ to slow down the drying process. I will begin removing the smallest looser buds on the lower branches around day 4 and jar them up. Then over the next few days proceed to remove the medium size buds next then the largest ones last and put them in a Teflon coated baking pan with indirect air moving over them and turn them every day. I like to make sure the outside of the buds are dry enough so when they are in the pan, they don’t develop a flat side or shape. Drying time ranges from 7-10 days for the whole process to get them down into the 62% to 65% humidity range. ABOUT THE CURING PROCESS The buds were loosely put into ½ gallon glass jars about ¾ full with an Inkbird digital hydrometer and it usually takes a few days to stabilize my humidity into the 62% to 63% range then I drop a Boveda 62% humidity pack into them and start my cure. The larger buds can be a bit rebellious and if I find the humidity to be 67% or higher, I will remove the buds from the jar for several hours then repeat the whole process if needed. If they land in the 66% or lower, I’ll remove the top off the jars a few/several hours a couple of times a day as needed. From this point I will let them cure for two weeks then pull the best top cola bud and sample the smoke. I like to allow the buds to finish curing for about another 4 weeks. I use 6-week cure total before I send my buds out for others to enjoy. During this time, I will open the tops of the jars to allow some fresh air in a few times a week then once a week toward the end. Yes of course I squirrel the top choice buds away for my head stash for a nice longer-term cure. This cure gives the buds time to improve the overall complexity of flavors, smells and smoothness that even the most discerning connoisseurs of fine cannabis can appreciate. ABOUT THE SMOKE I chose to try out one of the top main cola buds from the heavy burgundy colored plant which perfumed my house with a sweet/spicey chem scent. The very sticky and heavy resinous bud was outrageously wonderful to twist up. After a couple of tokes my lungs filled with a heavy flavorful smoke, on the exhale the smoke tasted slightly earthy with a light citrus/chem flavor in my mouth. High was a head shot for the first 15-20 minutes settling into a nice relaxing body high which led into serious munchie episode with bit of cotton mouth kicked in near the end of a nice 2+ hour ride. She was definitely a heavy hitter in my opinion in terms of strength. ABOUT MY CONCLUSION Ethos OG Kush Rbx is the type of genetics all breeders should use as a standard when it comes to quality auto flower genetics. Ethos has taken the time to hunt down the finest genetics and has been working on the strain since 2008 and continues to tweak in some outstanding photoperiod traits into the strain. She was an absolute stinker while growing and highly recommend a good carbon filter so as not to serenade your neighbors with the smell of your grow. The flavor of the smoke was superb and will impress even an experienced smoker. I would even venture to say if put up against a photo period OG Kush she could hold her own. I foresee Ethos Genetics as being a leader in the auto flower industry in the not-so-distant future. I am looking forward to growing more of their genetics in the near future. Genetics like this is exactly why I’ve been on a continual hunt to track down the best of the best for my grows. Be sure to check out Ethos Genetics https://www.ethosgenetics.com/

Official Strain Review Mephisto Strawberry Nuggets Genetics: (Bog Seeds) Sour Strawberry Kush X 24 Carat F3 Pink Pheno Indica/Sativa: 85/15 4- Plants Grow area 2 ft x 2 ft=4 sq.ft. ( Half of a 2 ft x 4 ft grow tent) G8-450 Bloom light draws 240 true watts 4 sq. ft. / 240 watts = 60 watts per square ft. Harvest weight 190 grams = 6.70 oz. 0.79 grams per watt How They Grow: Expect nice growth with very short inter-node spacing with large/very large (Hand Size) wide dark green Indica type fan leaves. Use leaf tucking and manipulation to ensure the large fan leaves are not blocking light to growth sites at each leaf node. These will develop into fairly short, stout and wide plants. Using larger pots could increase plant size potential. Use LST training if desired but the main stem was quite rigid and wide requiring multiple smaller manipulations in 2-3 sessions rather than 1 quick bend in order to prevent causing a stress crack. The strain looks like allowing the plant to growth in its natural shape would also work well because of its short size. Stretch was minimal and could actually benefit from using techniques to encourage more stretching like introducing a slightly higher red spectrum light in combination with larger day/night temperature swings earlier in veg. stage. How They Bloom: They started off fairly slow but quickly developed into a “very” dense/tight bud structure with nice calyx development and tiny sugar leaves throughout. Buds grew very close to or on top of one another. I chose to manipulate some bud stems to allow good air movement and light to reach the whole bud which was done with great difficulty. Leaf tucking/tying and slight strategic defoliation was needed to ensure ample light would reach the bud sites. During peak bloom/late bloom one plant pheno showed reddish/pink coloration with just a slight color change in the rest. The odor was reminiscent of jelly filled doughnuts. Harvested day 74-77. Trichomes mostly cloudy/milky with 25% amber. Wet trimmed, dried then cured 3 weeks for test smoke. Smoke Report: I found the strain to be very flavorful with slightly sweet/sour berry type flavor possibly a touch of skunk funk. She’s defiantly a late evening type smoke which would be excellent for use to help with anxiety, mild pain and induce a nice relaxed sleep. Harvesting earlier in the harvest window could help control the almost narcotic type body high experienced with this strain. Final Thoughts: I truly enjoyed growing this strain. The Indica dominant effects and bud structure were very much to my liking. I would call this more of a small batch personal connoisseur type strain which is great for filling your head stash jars and sharing with friends. If you’re the type that likes QP harvests off each plant this may not be your strain but if you like your girls short, sweet and flavorful give her a try she’s surely going to impress you.

Official Strain Review Roc Bud Inc. Diesel Cookies Auto Flower Genetic Lineage: Forum Cut Cookies X Diesel Auto The seeds sprouted very quickly with amazingly strong growth throwing out true sets of leaves by the beginning of week 2. Some showed sex by throwing out the first pistils from the leaf nodes on day 13. Early LST training helped control their shapes allowing me to swing the dominate main cola to the sides of my grow tent to manage light intensity for efficiently. The strain showed a modest inter-node stretching which in turn allowed more than ample light to reach the entire bud sites. There was a very low number of fan leaves produced so I personally would recommend to only perform a light defoliating once the plants are officially in bloom on the lowest leaf nodes only as needed. This strain could possibly benefit from using FIM or Topping to create multiple main colas to create a more even canopy but the grower should expect to add approximately 10 to 14 day to the harvest date. Bud development was very good producing a high ratio of large trichome covered calyx with very few large sugar leaves with tiny single bladed sugar leaves sparsely scattered throughout the buds. Definitely no leafy buds here. I highly recommend using a good fresh carbon filter on your exhaust as they produce a heavy sweet diesel/fuel smell which will indeed permeate your entire house or grow room. Harvest was quick and easy only requiring to easily remove the few remaining fan leave and wet trimming just the tips of the tiny sugar leaves. Drying and curing intensified the scent and the buds retained a strong diesel odor indicating a high terpene content compared to other auto flower strains. Smoke was heavy/thick very flavorful with a dominant diesel yet slightly sweet floral finish. High was long lasting a good 2 hours starting with a nice Sativa type head high spilling into the upper body after about the first half hour ending with a manageable body high. Roc Bud Inc. has definitely taken the time to combine top quality genetics to produce some ultra-fine bud for our enjoyment. Without a doubt check them out.

Very nice smooth smoke. I'm split between saying slightly more of a Indica type body high with a pleasant head high to start. This is a great anytime smoke that doesn't leave you lethargic. The smell was definately creamy and reminiscent of slightly over baked cookies which was very amusing. The plants grew to 36 inches which is a bit tall for my grow set up. They would truly have appreciated having more room to spread out. I pretty much stripped a good 2/3+ of the lower leaves and bud sites over the course of the grow to ensure the upper buds bulked up nicely. These girls took everything I threw at them intense lighting, nutes, drought stress etc. my usual grow torture techniques. Oddly enough I had one plant which grew and fox tailed significantly. I though it was light or heat stress but my ultimate conclusion is it was just a phenotype variation genetic throw back. The calyx on this one were the largest I've seen before compared to her sisters and were covered in a thick layer of trichomes. Wish I could have pulled some more color out of them but my area was hit with a warm spell which meant I couldn't get a nice temperature drop/swing in my tent. Either way this was my best harvest at just over 3 ounces per plant. I feel if given larger pots and more space to spread out they could have pushed out some more weight. 👍👍

Very pleasant strain to grow handled grow/light/nutrient/LST/drought stress very well. Very nice bud density and heavy dense trichome coverage. Harvest went quickly the plants and buds were very easy to trim. The smoke was very smooth and especially well flavored. Yield was typical for my plant size of just over 2 ounces per plant of high quality dried bud. 😉

Fast buds Blackberry Kush is a very appealing strain which was fairly easy to grow. I loved the shorter green phenotype which eventually turned purple on the outside of the buds with a greener inner bud color. The plant structure was ideal for my grow set up and was able to hit her hard with nice light intensity during bloom with no issues. The bud structure had a nice dense high calyx to sugar leave ratio and was heavily covered in trichomes just the way I like it. She handled nutrients like a champ no signs of nutrient burn. The other two phenotype were a lot taller and stretched with a longer inter node distance. The plants held the branches up well for most of the grow but I was concerned that the weight of the buds would break some stems during the ripening stage. The stems of these two were a bit on the hollow side in my opinion with thinner wall structure when compared to the green phenotype. I feel these two may have benefited from a higher dose of calcium during the course of growing. The bud coloration was outstanding with a nice purple to dark violet shades. The bud structure was a bit looser on one plant and the other was fairly dense with calyx but not as dense as the green phenotype. This one plant seemed to do a bit of fox tailing in the end of bloom even after cutting back on the amount of red spectrum light. The very tall and dominant main colas were swung to the outside edges of the tent because they were too close to my light which was maxed out in height. The lower buds received more light than the upper cola but lacked heavy trichome coverage. I believe these two plants possibly would have benefited from being topped or fimmed then heavy LST training to create a more even canopy to maximize light intensity to the bud sites produce a heavier denser trichome coverage. Harvesting was done on day 72 and was easy on the taller 2 which had less leaf coverage, the green phenotype took a bit longer she had a lot more fan and sugar leaves to remove. I had about a 15 to 20% amber to mostly cloudy /milky with some clear trichomes on the main cola when they were chopped. It was very difficult to see/judge color because of the darker color of the buds. Photos of the trichomes don't do the plant justice by any means. The smoke was fairly smooth with a slightly sweet ,a bit earthy with a nice light floral finish which is hard to real put my finger on to describe. It gave me a nice relaxed head and entire body type of high which was very pleasant and enjoyable not at all over powering definately a good evening time smoke to put your mind to rest. Definitely have some good munchies on hand for this one. I'll admit this wasn't my best grow but I was able to get some nice colorful buds out of them. I have a few more seeds left and would like to grow this strain again at some point hopefully trying a few different training techniques on them, definately hit them harder with some calcium and push them to their limits.😉

Official Fast Buds Lemon AK Strain Review Let me start off by saying that I chose this strain specifically because I was looking for a nice day time smoke to share with my friends. Well the breeders at Fast Buds nailed it perfectly. Even though I typically prefer to smoke Indica and Indica dominant strains I was pleasantly surprised by the Lemon AK Sativa dominant strain and this has left a lasting impression of how I perceive Sativa strains in general. I was always under the impression that Cannabis Sativa produced large unruly plants along with a loose less dense bud structure than Indica strains. The hybridization of the Lemon AK-47 by Fast Buds put this misconception to rest. About the grow. I was very impressed by how rapidly the seeds sprouted and developed in to quick growing plants in the matter of a few weeks throwing out the first pistils at day 17 and showing signs of wanting to start stretching. This caught me completely off guard I had crazy thoughts of them growing into monstrously large sativa type plants and becoming unmanageable. To my delight and probably because I chose to limit the pot size to 3 gallons, I was able to use some simple LST training to force them into a very uniform optimal shape and size which was perfect for my grow set up. Note: I’m sure if one desired larger plants 5-gallon pots would fit the bill they definitely showed the potential to grow larger if given the space for a larger root system. The stretching phase was perfect they produced nice sturdy stem length with good internode spacing allowing ample light to the bud sites. The plants handled nutrients very well with no signs of nutrient burn. I stopped short of using slightly less than ½ strength base nutrients during the high point of bloom. Buds showed an excellent response to adding in a PK 13/14 product during peak/late bloom. No signs of any major deficiencies were seen. Slight issue with light stress/burn on the upper leaves from high LED light intensity on one plant resulted in a lightening in the coloration of the leaves. These leaves were removed in the later stages of bloom. No ill effects on the buds they seemed to enjoy the intensity of light. About the flower structure. All had a nice even shape with no excessive fox tailing even during the last few weeks of growth. I appeared to have two phenotype one with a nice dense heavy calyx to sugar leaf ratio with fewer fan leaves which was the first to be ready for harvesting. They also pull out some amazing purple coloration which extended into the buds. The other phenotype also had nice dense calyx growth but with many tiny trichome covered sugar leaves protruding and more fan leaves. This phenotype took about 5 days longer to ripen and seemed to hold on to the green coloration even after multiple flushing for over 2 weeks throwing out mostly yellowish/reddish type leaves. About the harvest. Did I mention I how much I love Indica? Well taking that into account I chose to allow the top buds on the main cola ripen a bit more than my usual 5 % amber. Since this part of the plant seems ripens first, I let the trichomes go until I achieved a nice heavy 30% amber. I figured this would give me a nice pleasant and more balanced high more to my liking. Also, it would give me a nice variety of lower buds which were less amber to sample in the future. The smell of the fresh buds while chopping was reminiscent of ripe citrus and permeated the house during harvest. Since I began slowly removing selected large fan leaves during the last few weeks of my grow harvesting went very smoothly. Basically, I like to do a wet trimming initially by removing as many large fan and accessible sugar leaves then I proceed to do a tight cut using curved bladed shears taking the tips off any tiny sugar leaves not completely covered in trichomes. I also take this time to remove any dried leaf tips or yellowing that made it up to the buds. I exclusively hand trim all my buds. I will typically perform a second tighter final trimming to properly manicure my buds after they have cured a couple of weeks and “hardened up” then back in the jar they will go to finish a nice long-term cure. About the drying process. I typically hang my branches from regular wire clothes hangers I like to use a fine florist type wire to wrap under the stems of the last buds give it a twist then wrap it a few times over the hanger. One hanger seems to hold one plants worth of branches. These are placed in a dark closet with a small fan indirectly blowing near them. I typically dry for the first 2 days at 45% humidity 73 F to get the bulk of the moisture out of them. Then the humidity is raised to 55% to slow down the drying process. I will begin removing the smallest looser buds on the lower branches around day 5 and jar them up. Then over the next few days proceed to remove the medium size buds next then the largest ones last and put them in a Teflon coated baking pan with indirect air moving over them and turn them every day. I like to make sure the outside of the buds are dry enough so when they are in the pan, they don’t develop a flat side or shape. Drying time ranges from 7-10 days for the whole process. About the curing process. The buds were loosely put into ½ gallon glass jars about ¾ full with an Inkbird digital hydrometer and it usually takes a few days to stabilize my humidity into the 62% to 63% range then I drop a Boveda 62% humidity pack into them and start my cure. The larger buds can be a bit rebellious and if I find the humidity to be 67% or higher, I will remove the buds from the jar for several hours then repeat the whole process if needed. If they land in the 66% or lower, I’ll remove the top off the jars a few/several hours a couple of times a day as needed. From this point I will let them cure for three weeks then pull the best top cola bud and sample the smoke. I like to allow the buds to finish curing for a minimum of 6 weeks before I send my buds out for others to enjoy. During this time, I will open the tops of the jars to allow some fresh air in a few times a week then once a week toward the end. Yes of course I squirrel the top choice buds away for my head stash for a nice longer-term cure. This cure gives the buds time to improve the overall complexity of flavors, smells and smoothness that even the most discerning connoisseurs of fine cannabis can appreciate. About the smoke. The moment of truth! After my last experience with dealing with Fast Buds Zkittlez jamming up my grinder I chose to forego the part of removing the sticky residue left inside the grinder which seemed like a waste in my opinion. I did it old school and used a tiny pair of sharp scissors to micro shave the bud into a form worthy of any true craftsman and proceeded to twist up a fatty. But wait we need to compliment the moment with some music. I cued up the Chemical Brothers “Morning Lemon” song. Seemed appropriate since it’s been a while since I literally waked and baked. I stoked up the joint and took three nice hits. Even with only a 3 week cure the smoke was incredibly smooth going in and coming out (Must have been the good flush). I say this because if I’m not coughing on the exhale that’s a great sign since I’m only a part time smoker “Lightweight”. The flavor was very familiar reminded me of smoking some old school Central and South American strains that were prevalent back around 1978 to 1982 strains like Acapulco Gold with a nice pleasant slightly citrus/earthy yet floral finish on your tongue type taste. I sat back and let things take shape feeling the bass kick out of the speakers and vibrations of the music reverberate off me. Then it started hitting me like a small wave hitting the back of my head spilling over the top then dropping down my forehead across my face. Not crazy like someone dropped the curtain in front of me but a very pleasant relaxing even flowing cerebral type buzz flowing over the top then down into my upper body and arms. This intensified over the next 10- 20 minutes then peaked. It was just right in terms of the intensity for my taste. I was a bit on the quite side during this time just taking in some tunes amazed with the effects of the weed on my now enhanced hearing ability. At about 45 minutes I snapped out of my trance and was actually very functional mentally and physically. The high tapered off after about a good 2.5 hours with a nice body high must be the Indica effect but with no drowsy aftermath. I have yet to partake in a higher quantity of hits after learning my lesson with under estimating potency and test smoking taking 6 hits of Fast Buds Zkittlez for the first time on my last grow. About my conclusion. I found Fast Buds Lemon AK was exactly what I was looking for a great day time smoke that if smoked conservatively would allow me to be functional and social. I would definitely recommend this for social gatherings or a great anytime smoke it will make you a bit talkative with a nice uplifted mood and you may be surprisingly quick witted when joking around with friends.

I highly recommend Zkittles Auto. This is exactly the reason I started growing my own smoke. I was tired of friends telling me that they have some great smoke only to be disappointed with stale weed that tasted terrible. I test smoked Zkittles with that same friend then we both sat there stuck in our chairs mentally debating to ourselves that we should have stopped at the 3rd hit not the 5 or 6 that we took before we would admit to each other that this was some kick ass smoke. This was definately the strongest I have smoked in years. It started with more of a head high for the first 15-20 minutes then leveling out to a more balanced head body high ending with a nice body buzz lasting about 2-2.5 hours total. The next evening I just took 3 tokes it was the perfect amount for a part time smoker like myself. It was a nice even buzz for chilling out watching a few movies and I was very functional. Since I quit smoking tobacco some 20+ years ago I am not able to deal with inhaling deep hits without coughing. The smoke of this strain was very flavorful and surprisingly smooth with only a slight tickle on the exhale with only a 2 week cure. I'm sure as with all good thing it will just keep getting better with time. One more o.k. a few more buds for a nice long term cure will be going to my head stash.Special thanks to FastBuds for the great genetics.😊

LOVE this strain the breeders at Sweet Seeds did a great job developing her. Should be on your must grow list. Who doesn't like purple bud? Exciting colors and incredible smells she will lure you in for sure. Interesting genetics out of 4 plants I wound up with 2 purples and 2 green/purple (Sweet Skunk leaning) phenotype which was actually a pleasant surprise. Both phenotype had excellent bud structure and trichome coverage with a low leaf to calyx ratio. The buds dried up well with a density of 7.5-8 on a 10 scale. If I had some lower temperatures while budding they would be a bit denser. When you pull out a nice bud of this it has a definite "WOW" factor in terms of visual/bag appeal. Pleasant smelling buds reminiscent of ripe lemon with a slight berry/earthy scent but smells varied slightly between each phenotype. Smoke was excellent even after only a 2 week cure she was very smooth and extra tasty on the exhale. I would call it as a daytime smoke but would be great anytime. Took them at about 5% amber. She had a bit of everything from a headband type high to start then spilling through you like a waterfall to your chest and arms. Progressing slowly down to your legs ending with a nice bit of a body high after about 1.5-2 hours. Bonus was the Bloody Skunk hash oil I made with the trimmings which once again put things over the top. With a nice smear on your rolling paper don't make any plans for the next few hours after hitting that luscious thing. Just chill and enjoy the ride. Looking forward to growing her again in the future during a cooler season.

Afghan Kush Ryder blend of two complimenting strains to produce a fast easy growing plant with a high THC content. It's smaller size make this a great strain for a smaller grow setup. Odor was about average during the grow intensifying in the last three weeks (Your room/house will smell) Expect to harvest medium to high density, flavorful, super sticky buds around 70-75 days. Has great bag appeal with a classic spicy sweet Afghani odor which intensifies while curing. Harvest Report-I took the front left (FL) (49.36 grams dry) and front right (FR) (40.82 grams dry) down at day 73 they were mostly milky/ cloudy with close to 10% amber or starting to darken. I took the the left rear (LR) (44.01 grams dry) and right rear (RR) (37.89 grams dry) down at 75 days. They were mostly milky/cloudy with some half cloudy on the outer newer growth with a few clear and sporadic ambers. I used a 40x led lighted jewelers loupe which worked perfectly for seeing the trichomes. I trimmed as much as possible while still attached to branches. Then removed the buds and tipped off any leaves that were discolored or weren't entirely covered in trichomes. Drying took about 5- 6 days at 45- 50% humidity removing smaller buds to jars first, then followed by med, then larger last. Used digital humidity gauges in each jar opening them up to reduce humidity at least a few times a day as needed to keep humidity under 65% then was able to stabilized them to 62% after 4 days in the jars. Tried to dry the biggest buds whole but were drying unevenly so I wound up trimming them into smaller buds to finish drying. I wound up with almost 37 grams dry of quality trim off the buds which was turned into 6 grams of hash oil which was not included in final weight. Gave the best buds a tighter trim for my own head stash jar and sampling with some friends. Will do a long cure for at least 8 weeks for the best of the best bud the rest will be consumed as needed while curing.😊
