Grew fine but was pretty small considering how long it was vegged for - super compact plant - that doesn’t mean that it didn’t put out a lot of bud though to be fair. As you can see I just spread her out and allowed the nodes on the top sides of the branch to grow upwards. It was actually pretty annoying, in terms of the fact it was so much shorter than the rest, I actually added another light simply so that it wasn’t shaded by the massive Tropicanna plant. I need to ditch my coco today really. Or at least some of it - a pack pack full. There are loads of flooded areas around here in woodland type areas that are PERFECT for dumping coco and roots! I actually didn’t take any photos of this plant being harvested but I’ll pull out the coat hanger and photograph it. To be honest, I don’t even really need to label them because they are all looking so different to one another!

Again, I’d say it’s quite resistant to mold and the like because my temps were generally too high, as were my RH values. Still, I figured it out and fixed it by opening a window and having the loft hatch half open! Still, it worked - oh and inlet ducting was needed. I ran a fan for a while until I needed it for the drying tent but I didn’t really make too much difference over the ducting alone. I say its resistance is strong because it was so tightly packed in, because of this, it was propped up during the stretching phase which meant it was supported and so the stems didn’t fatten up enough as the plant was tricked into thinking that it was going to be supported the whole time and then when I took out the Tropicanna Poison ,the side buds of the orange hill started flipping and flipping about haha I ended up inter-weaving the colas so I could rest them against the side of the tent! Actually not a bad weight - it was probably a couple grams more but I must say, I was a little disappointed with the strength. Maybe, iv just been spoiled by the really strong like 30% medical bud that I have been buying. Next grow I definitely need to pay more attention to THC value as one of them is so weak it’s barely useable for me. The strongest one, is without doubt, the Tropicanna poison. Something I am not surprised about AT ALL given how they looked when they were growing. It’s mixes really nicely with the medical orange cake I buy - bringing the THC value up slightly and just strengthening that orange taste. Still it’s nice - I just need to drop my tollerence or mix it with something stronger to get something in between. Tastes really nice - on its own it’s orangey, and skunky basically. It’s really nice now that the chlorophyll taste has basically gone.

I would say it’s strong resistance to mould was impressive, there were so many nodes all packed in so tightly so I’m not really surprised I got a lot of popcorn flower because at the end of the day- it’ll all get processed into something and the fact I spread the nodes out means I have lots of tops - 25 to be precise! The best photos are on my d-slr and will be uploaded later and obviously I’ll update this when it’s cured and dried and I can weigh it. I don’t see the sense it wet weight - it’s hard to do and useless. There is definitely a couple of ounces there though. I mean it’s night and day compared to the diesel which has been going exactly the same amount of time. Just needs a couple more weeks! I totally guessed the weight as they’ve now made that a mandatory field. I’ll fill out the dry weight when I get there.

It was probably the start in life I gave it. I was having ‘issues’ with seed germination and I was also only growing in a small 50x50cm cupboard so there wasn’t a lot to fill. I had really bad luck knocking off major nodes too… Oh well, what I did get smells amazing. Iv not weighed it wet but will weigh it dry. Edit after drying: she smells amazing! Not much of her there haha 24g but still, it was an AWFUL grow! I take no pride in it but fuck me does it smell good. It’s being burped a few x a day atm. She smells quite reminiscent of the OG Kush I grew by FastBuds. Tbh, it was about the same size too - maybe I got a bit more from the FastBuds one but that was in a full room setup. After the appropriate time of opening and closing jars and after its slow dry, it came out quite nice but now iv started growing and smoking photoperiod’s, I do see why the photo community say they are weak. Mind you, I don’t see HOW on earth FastBuds can get a THC count above 30%. I simply do not believe that from an auto - having been looking at seeds for fema recently a lot of them arnt even that strong! I’m on medical cannabis and the strongest they do is 30%, which has opened my eyes to the fact they clearly fudge their THC scores because I grew nothing but fast buds for about 4 years and I never once got anything that was as strong as my medical stuff is and most of that hangs around 28%.

So AFTER growing this, putting minimal hydrosol in because I thought I’d put grow dots in but I didn’t realise It was a single use pouch so I used hardly any. This plant was basically grown without nutrition but it didn’t show any signs of it, it just wasn’t as monsterous or even the purple pheno I remember. The thing with autos is you grow one plant from a pack and it’s great medically but then you grow another and it’s a completely different pheno! Really annoying but all I can really grow atm.

It’s still early days but the terp profile is exactly as I remembered it. Shitty drying conditions as I had no control over the heatwave we had but what iv tried had been fruity, musky and full of flavour. Flavour is nice but would have been better had it been grown in winter as the drying temps in my tent are PERFECT in winter but in summer I had to dry at like 23c! Still, it’s nice - now I have removed some of it from the stems the smell has improved. I went on holiday so couldn’t burp so just chucked in a few bovedas and started burping again for a couple days when I came back (after a week). It gave me time to plan my next grow! Decided to re-grow their purple lemonade - it’s just such a crazy terp profile and the colour still amazes me. AAAANYWAY…the smoke feels quite weak - no way their THC results are right, they are definitely inflated. Especially when comparing with other reputable auto breeders like mephisto! No way fastbuds (as much as I love them) have like nearly 10% more THC than mephisto… I vape and don’t smoke and so the flavour is more prominent- it’s quite fruity but with a very musky background. I think a lot of the fruity smell probably off gassed when I was drying so is less intense and so I’m not surprised it is how it is. I would say it is around 20-22% - for me, it makes a great morning medication. It’s good for pain without being overly sedating because of the THC levels - when compared with photo’s, as I obviously buy photos from being on the Uk Legal medical cannabis system. It’s why I’m more confident in guessing THC %’s, because I’m used to knowing from testing. Terps DO make a difference in the effect but it’s obviously not just them because otherwise the pens would be the same as flower and you wouldn’t get that weird ‘it fucks you up at first but then you get used to it and it stops getting you as stoned - really quickly. Tbh, I’m floored by my g/w - I think I did really well, considering half of my grow space was taken up by the res (which I still don’t know why I put inside the tent but oh well!) I think the mammoth P actually did make a difference…

It’s really hard to give an indication of the ease of growing and resistance because I had 3 diff strains all in one room and it got seeded somehow. Not sure if it’s because of the genetics or because I didn’t tape over quite a bright red light from my smart power strip. I did try and look for where the pollen came from but I couldn’t see any ball sacks. Pretty sure by the time I actually realised it was seeded the actual balls had opened, pollen came out and they kind of disappeared. I have looked for balls since I realised but couldn’t see any… I’m pretty new to having to look for hermaphroditism and clearly not very good at it! They all smell fantastic but I definitely have suffered with yield because of it. The buds are noticeably less fat and the popcorn type bits are way airier and insane amounts of seeds. The actual colas don’t feel too bad in terms of seeds but then you go below that and you don’t even need to feel for seeds you can see them lol They do all smell v good though which I’m pleased about. I mistakenly thought that they had no odour because my carbon filter was doing such a good job and that’s not usually the case lol Also I don’t usually hang the plants in the same room I grow in - with a carbon filter. Therefore I’m ususally shitting it because my whole flat STINKS. I just couldn’t live with the paranoia this time lol Anyway I took some photos today and they have been hanging for about two days. I accidentally dislodged the humidifier yesterday so the humidity when down to around 50 but that’s no big deal. I’m lucky I live where I do with regards to drying rele. Up until my last grow I was just hanging at ambient temp and RH and iv only ever really had one plant that was unacceptably hay like and that was coz I was messing about with it. I am a bit annoyed about the seeds but as I don’t smoke it’s not a huge deal for me. It does make it a little more challenging to use my cannabis as a bartering aid and in terms of yield (which is a bit annoying). Hanging said that I don’t really grow for yield as I’m not selling. I grow for my own medication, satisfaction and the fact it really helps my mental health. I would go as far as saying the gardening probably helps my mental health more than the cannabis itself does, even though it was the cannabis that lead me to the gardening. It’s a bit like how I use my music playing and my art skills to help with my mental health. I play drums most days for about an hour and iv just started getting back into painting - which I took a loooong Break from after being released from prison. Well actually I guess it started on the lead up to being released after serving 4 years for drugs. It was WAY harder to get used to outside life than I thought and I was also going through some very hard councelling and trauma therapy as well as trying to cure an addiction so for a lot of the time I just wanted to die to be honest. It was awful. HOWEVER I’m so glad iv been through those horrible times because now I’m coming out of the other end and I’m accepting who I am and I actually like myself now. This is a bit deep but I recalled a repressed memory of being sexually abused, started dealing with it then I relapsed and ‘dealt with it’ in my own way which basically meant slowly killing myself by using heroin and benzos. I started going properly insane at the beginning of lockdown due to using so many drugs. It got to the point I didn’t know if I was awake or asleep and dreaming. I thought I was living in sons of anarchy and stuff like that. When I started coming to I genuinely thought I’d killed someone and buried them in the woods b it couldn’t really fully remember it. Just like a dream after waking fully. Anyway I don’t know how that links into these strains and how I like them BUT they smell fantastic and hopefully I’ll manage to not herm them next time! I guess there’s a first for everything… Oh and weight will be done when dry. Same for taste tests although the cheese plants really remind me of the smoothy fastbuds auto I grew. Really super musky and skunky with just a touch of that sour Chem smell. Stinking!

Smells gorgeous. Havnt really smelled each one individually yet. I’m gonna wait for them to dry a bit I think. All the lower material is really seedy but the tops seem ok tbh. Or at least better EDIT 2 DAYS LATER: I went back to the tent this morning and took some photos as well as actuallly touch some plants and get an idea of smells. These smell gorgeous. Really skunky and beautiful. There were a few coloured hues in the buds at the top but only VERY slightly. I think zamnesia really mis advertise this strain to be honest. They use a photo which is just photoshopped (really quite obviously) so that it’s pink. I don’t think iv seen anyone actually have a purple cultivar with this strain so if that’s what your after grow something else. It’s a beautiful strain and I wasn’t growing it for that but if you are just maybe rethink. EDIT AFTER 1 PLANT DRIED: Ok so it’s been about a week (just over) and I thought I’d do a quick update. I went into my room yesterday to have a feel of the plants and one of them dried really quickly…too quickly really. It’s just the Kalini Asia plants that are drier than the rest for some reason but I def found 1 culprit for the ball sacks as I found quite a few whilst harvesting this plant. I’m surprised actually I must admit, I thought it would be one fo the plants that was near the light that wasn’t taped over…. Maybe it was a genetic herm then…who knows. I most likely wouldn’t use the seeds it’s created anyway but it would be nice to know just for the sake of the next grow really. Like if there is a light leak I need to know about it and if I f’d up the timer I should probably know about that too. I’ll shut myself in with the lights off before my next round. I did also realise that my humidifier has a green light in I need to either smash or remove. WHY DO CANNABIS GROW EQUIPMENT COMPANIES KEEP PUTTING BRIGHT LIGHTS ON THEIR EQUIPMENT?! It makes no sense AT ALL!! Anyways, with regards to how the strain smells/tastes. It’s nice - reminds me of that smoothie plant I grew. Lots of myrcene but annoyingly lots of seeds as well. Isn’t the strongest stuff in the world but probably to do with them stopping making trichs and starting to make seeds. I got about the same amount of ‘buds’ than I did the popcorn buds, only the normal colas has more plant material/trichomes to seeds where the popcorn stuff has more seeds than material so I’m going to do a dry ice drive on those bits. The colas do have seeds in, just less of them so it’s not as annoying picking them out. Can’t do weight yet because iv only done 1 of 2 plants but I’ll add in what iv got so far. As I said - I split it into what I’m keeping as bud and what iv allocated to be extracted with dry ice so I’m making two piles of each strain.

No idea yet- will update when dry. I never understand why they put that right at the beginning of the harvest section tbh! Seedy and all tasted the same! Was awful, willNEVER use Zamnesia again after that. Put me right off! It’s weird when I did a grow that here’d they all just smelled of generic ‘cannabis’ and totally lost their terpene nuances. I got just as much seed by weight as I did flower - honestly, if it were a breeding project it wou;d have been really successful. The seeds should be fem as well tbf. Looking back on it if they hadn’t hermed, id have given em longer for sure.

Ok so one of these looks pretty average and normal but the one I’m harvesting now is an absolute monstor! Definitely the biggest, densest buds iv ever grown. Maybe not the biggest harvest in weight but Christ these main colas are big. I topped once as well, I think, either once or twice but yeh If I hadn’t topped the main cola would be HUMONGOUS! They also both smell DEVINE. SUPER lemony. It really reminds me of super lemon haze which was my favourite flavour profile for a long time but I was never hugely keen on the effects. Hopefully this will taste like it but with a more sedated indica effect. Should be very interesting to see how this girl presses. I’m absolutely loving rosin now tbh but I do still use flower because although I have a dab rig, I don’t particularly like using it. It’s a pain in the ass hole to clean and I always end up either dabbing way too hot or too cold and I get hardly anything out of it. I much prefer sandwhiching a dabs worth of rosin in between some ground flower and chucking it in my Arizer solo dry herb vape. I find the taste lasts longer for more than one toke and I generally find it a much more pleasant way of doing it. I would definitely consider getting a decent e nail or electric dab device such as the puffco peak or something. The trouble is the peak is rele quite expensive. If I didn’t want to use the solo with ground herb I could always use some metal gauze like the extract capsules for the mighty or plenty. Or volcano for that matter but it’s so easy to do it with herb then I get the ABV too. AAANYWAY…back to the harvest! This baby is SUUUPER FLOPPY! iv no idea why and that is probably why I was so surprised at the size of the buds. I went in one day and it looked as it someone had been in there shoving my colas around but they were just too heavy the stems kind of collapsed! I just used some cut in half bamboo stakes. I cut them in half so I didn’t poke my eyes out and they held the colas up great until she had finished. She seems to take quite a long time to finish but my god was it worth it! This plant iv harvesting now is way more pretty and has more ‘bag appeal’ - not that is has to go in a bag at all or has to appeal to anyone but me. Still, I’ll probably use the first uglier plant for rosin or edibles or something. I dunno. Iv not weighed anything yet. My cooking scales are kind of fuckedy and I’m not even trying to weigh them on the small .00 scales that would be stupid. I’ll get it sorted somehow. I always hate the weighing process. I seem to leave that out a lot. I think part of me is worryied to advertise the crazy amounts of bud iv grown and therefore have around - SOMEWHERE. (Not that anyone would figure out where I keep it even if they did figure out where I lived lol)

This was just a SUPER EASY harvest to get along side the plants I was doing anyway! It’s a small harvest from a small plant! I don’t think I weighed it wet - I’ll check but I don’t remember doing so. She smells really great. Really musty and the occasional hint of coffee but I havnt vaped any of it yet. I grew this plant because santi from fast buds reccomended it coz I got a rosin press. So I squeezed in one in a small 2-3gal pot and just let her go. She was probably about half the size of the other plants but smells a mix of wonderful and acrid. I wrote that she was very disease resistant because I had lots of bugs in my soil for this grow. I think they were either root aphids or fungus gnats. Honestly, I’m too lazy to take a macro shot of them because I’m not even bothering to try and rid them from the media. I’m simply finishing the plants that are in there, whilst trying to quarantine the space. Or start at leat. I’m not putting anything in there until I can rip everything out and bleach everything. Obviously first things first, I will get rid of the media that’s got bugs (I stupidly supplemented the coco I had with some garden centre soil that had either pests or eggs of pests. Needless to say they ravished the soil but honestly I got my best harvest yet so it either didn’t effect the plants OR had I not had them I would have had an even more insane harvest lol. Either way it would def have been easier for the plants if the bugs weren’t there! So anyway, I do plant to turn this whole plant into rosin over the next few days. Hopefully it will just squirt out a good texture but if not I will do a warm cure on it with my heat mat. I’m lazy so I dunno how long it’ll take me to press it all. I find the worst thing is ridding myself of all the stems that are going to tear into my 90ug bag. I end up with loads of resin on my fingers and it feels like it defeats the purpose. It’s all good tho. Looking forward to trying this strains flavour profile EDIT: that’s so weird. I just weighed the harvest and I guessed absolutely bang on! An ounce and a half to the gram lol. Not a big harvest but some more top quality flower which will just turn into rosin when my bags come later. Oh thinking about it it would have been closer to an ounce and three quarters. Maybe just over because I pressed my last rosin bag which holds about 7g. Iv added a couple more photos of the small amount of rosin I pressed from it. I must admit I’m going a bit mad for rosin atm. It’s just such an easy way to get extracts lol

Ok so I did have some bug problems. I think it was either root aphids or fungus gnats. Don’t know exactly what but they were a free gift when I desperately bought some soil to add to the coco from a local DIY shop…cheers mate! So obviously I’m not reusing my mediA, it all got bagged up straight away and sealed then put in the big bin for my block of flats. Obviously with no evidence it came from me. Seperate bin bag for all of that stuff. I can’t really speak of the disease resistance because I basically infested EVERYTHING with annoying drunk looking flying little bastards! They didn’t really stand a chance… HOWEVER, having said that, this last blueberry plant I grew is definitely the biggest plant I have ever grown. It’s meant to be very indica and it’s actually grown waaay bigger than a lot of the 50:50 hybrids and even the sativa dom strains. It was a beast. I obviously had two different pheno’s of each plant I grew. The structure, intermodal distance and even terpene profiles were pretty different considering it was the same strain. I am actually very glad about it because I LOVE to vape some strange. I don’t really know why I did two of the each strain tbh. It’s probably coz I was able to double my space so I have more coming. I think the combination of double light, double space, AutoPot system (then the plant can eat and drink on their terms) and the fact I planted straight into the final pot. I underestimated how much shock autos get from transplanting. It obviously can be done but it’s pointless and I always ended up with way smaller plants. Again this could be to do with the light increase tho. It smells Devine, of course but the small blueberry plant smells and smokes WAAAY different. The bigger one that seems to have reached it’s full genetic potential is way sweeter and deserty. The first, smaller one is much more skunky and musky. This is all pre cure though. It smells a lot different to how it smokes atm. I was using gloves to harvest and then used my phone with them on, not thinking and now I have gloopy oil all over my iPhone lol. Kind of defeated the point of using gloves but oh well. I will keep adding info into this section as I continue to weigh and generally think about how the grow went and what might help others. I would definitely say to others, if they are growing using less than reccomended light specs, do all you can to update your lights and get up to the recommended minimum PAR. it really did change everything. I noticed this time with adequate light, they turned out way more ‘leggy’ with big buds from like halfway up the stems. I do think that lollipopping is quite importing when you get in early flower and the stretch stage but it’s next to impossible to even get into the room when it’s filled up. I’m not awaiting my two Afghan kush plants and my one small smoothie plant to finish and then I can clean everything out, bleach everything and get going again this time with coco only. I will not Improvise last minute with outdoor gardeners shit this time. It has surprised me how efficient the AutoPot system is. The plants in there grew SO MUCH BIGGER than the plant in pots that are double the size. They must just love the fact they can drink whenever they want rather than me forcing it upon them. UPDATE: Minutes later I have actually weighed the wet plants. Obviously I harvested the plants at diff times so I simply weighed each stem as I removed the fan leaves and wrote down the weight. It is an all time high for me (sorry about the punn) so I am super happy at the weight of the blueberry plants. I will admit that like 75% of the weight , if not more, was made by the huge second plant that is hanging now. Update - it’s all dry and curing now. Beautiful buds. Amazing rosin. What more can I say?! The dry weight box dissapesred again when I came back to fill it in. Anyway… Dry bud was 177g. Iv also used about 1.5oz I would say coz I made tincture and pressed a few grams of rosin. I also had a big box of b grade buds which I primarily used for squishing and tincture so when I actually came to weigh it it had shrunk dramatically lol. It now weighs about an ounce. I do also have 49g of trim and popcorn buds to use. Probably buy some dry ice soon and make keif then press said kief in my press. That’s the plan… Really happy with what I got and iv still more to come so it is all good

Really beautiful cultivar this was. I really enjoyed growing it and everything about it was huge! Even when I went to go scavenge the grow media the roots were just crazy out of control while taking up the whole 25l pot! Amazing especially for an auto! I received a manual rosin press from my new sponsors Devil Press. I will therefore be making some extra content with reviews and comparisons as I am awaiting the receival of the Devil Press DS2000 so that I can review it against the DP9 and ask the question; Is it worth the extra £269! We will have to see but I am incredibly happy with the DP9 so far. I havnt been weighing what iv put in OR taken out. However, I do know I have a few small glass pots that single serve jam came in at a bnb! I love the scraping of rosin from the grease proof paper, it collects so well when you put it all (including the metal tool) in the freezer. I would ultimately like to have a slab of marble or slab of metal I can use as a cold slab to collect rosin on! I am also obviously going to make some live rosin from the dry ice sift hash from the trim! I got such a decent amount of trichome heads last run but I always wait for at least two grows worth of trim before it’s worth ordering the dry ice. I can’t wait to make dry ice hash and pres it to rosin. It should capture actual terpene profile of the plant when it was growing. And it’s SO Fuelly already let alone when it’s concentrated! I’m getting my carried away but iv definitely been bitten by the extract bug! Anyway, this cultivar is extremely fuelly tasting. Very tart and sharp, slightly citrussy. A REALLY interesting terp profile and totally not what I expected! I love it!

I’m not sure if it was bud rot but just after I had hung my plant and split it up into hangable buds one of the very ends of the main cola started going brown and mouldy. I think it was from where I removed a fan leaf from near the top without using scissors. I believe it went brown from the stem at that place where I broke the skin. I simply snipped off the very tip of the cola I was dealing with and checked the rest of the buds very closely. I found no other signs of any mould or browning. It’s very tempting to just start snapping fan leaves off with my hands when I harvest but I need to force myself to use the snips. It’s especially tempting with this cultivar as the fan leaves are on such a long stem. Other than that a pretty seamless grow. She smells beautiful and sweet. I even made a tiny tiny ball of charms from it when harvesting, it was so sticky! I’m not sure why it’s stopped asking me my dry weight…maybe coz I didn’t put it in straight away? I don’t know. Iv put the dry weight in the wet weight section.

Absolutely beautiful smelling and tasting specimen! More citrussy and lemony than I thought at first. It was only one night when I got confused between the taste of gorilla glue and the orange sherbert. She is a beautiful tasting plant though! Oranges and lemons backed by a strong classic skunk smell. Mmmmm

Have not smoked yet unfortunately. Just hanging in the drying cupboard along with the orange sherbert. Both smell extraordinary but I think I prefer the smell of the orange sherbert but this one does smell beautiful also. So sweet but skunky. Amazing. Really looking forward to these buds grown under a more powerful light.

Haven’t smoked any yet. It’s half hanging in my drying cupboard and half in a jar as it dried more and more. Then starts the cure! I have more photos of a better quality on my D-SLR. I Intend to edit them today but iv got myself a bit confused with which images are which plants! Rookie move, I know! There is a photo on there of the wet weight also now that we are starting to get into jars I should have a dry weight soonish. It smells sublime although having quite a leafy structure to it with golf ball sized buds for the most part. Mine does anyway. It smells supreme, it reminds me of a mix between bubblegum (the chewing gum shit, not the strain) and the blueberry nicotine vape juice I sometimes vape. That really fake type of blueberry smell, or a blue ice pop!

Didn’t really mature properly so I only got two smokable buds really they just happen to be really long. Just not dense at all. Anyway, obviously they aren’t even nearly cured yet so yeah. I did get two big tubs of either cooking or extraction cannabis drying out in plastic tubs at the moment.

Unfortunately, I still have to wait for it to cure but I have enough buds of other strains to keep me going.

Literally just chopped and removed fan leaves to eat in a salad along with other greens last night. Tasty as hell! I will update in a month or so once it’s dried, cured and smokeable!
