Hey everyone! The Mental Rainbows are done and dried, and after roughly a week in the drying room it's time for the final update on this genetics. The drying went faster than expected, partly due to the high temperatures I couldn't get below 27°C, and partly because the buds weren't particularly large overall. High temps at this stage almost certainly cost some terpene expression, so I'll be honest: these plants didn't fully reach their potential this run. That said, the first taste straight off the dry, no cure yet, was genuinely satisfying. That citrusy, earthy touch came through clearly and very pleasantly. And the effect stays true to Sweet Seeds' description: an uplifting, euphoric onset for the first hour or so, easing into a mild, comfortable couch relaxation without being overwhelming. One thing worth clarifying: as you may have noticed, I started this diary with 4 plants. From flowering onwards I only showed 2 of them, because the other two were essentially overshadowed by more vigorous plants sharing the box throughout the entire flowering phase, resulting in small, underdeveloped buds. A lesson for next run on spacing and canopy management. Overall, Mental Rainbow proved to be a resilient, stress-tolerant and genuinely enjoyable strain to grow, living up to its fast flowering reputation right to the end. Until next time. Happy growing everyone!

I have to say, this Special Kush caught my attention right from the start. While other plants in the box had their issues here and there, she stayed incredibly resilient and kept pushing straight towards the finish line. I even had to keep her in check with fairly intense training, bending and shaping the branches to control her structure, and yet she just kept growing as if nothing had happened.When flowering finally kicked in, she really started to live up to her name, releasing a complex and truly special bouquet. The phenotype I planted, at least from what I could tell, leaned more towards citrus and woody notes, with a sharp, distinctive edge that made her stand out from the rest.Overall, it turned out to be a very rewarding experience, both for how she grew and for the character she showed from seed to harvest.
