Compound Genetics

Very fragrant. Citrusy and sweet.

Without topping, the natural structure is great and the buds are dense and resinous. I will let them dry more to test the buds.

Strain Review (Grow Only) 10/10 Glitter Bomb was an absolute pleasure to grow. She showed strong vigor throughout flower, stacked dense buds from top to bottom and produced exceptional resin. Despite experiencing frequent temperatures above 30°C (86°F) during the summer, she handled the heat surprisingly well with no major stress or loss of quality. The bud structure may have been slightly different from the breeder's showcase due to the high temperatures, but the overall quality remained outstanding. Beautiful purple and lime green colors, outstanding bag appeal and one of the most unique terpene profiles I've encountered. Loud notes of grapes, ripe berries, citrus and a bold gas finish make this cultivar truly stand out. Based on the grow alone, this is an easy 10/10. The smoke review will follow after a proper cure.

Amazing result for a 5L pot, she vegged really well and her transition to bloom was so smooth, she was such a pleasure to grow honestly! Her aroma is very gassy with hints of fresh herbs 10/10 for me, I cant wait to smoke her Smoke report to follow once she's been cured.

Final Crop Report: System Failure & Lessons Learned Project Status: Emergency Early Harvest | Final Outcome: Crop Failure (Low Yield/Stunted Buds) Executive Summary The crop was terminated during Week 7-8 of flowering due to a total systemic collapse. The plants suffered from severe dehydration and physiological stress, resulting in small, airy buds and significant loss of biomass. The "Fade" observed was not natural ripening but rather premature senescence caused by environmental and root-zone failure. 1. Chronological Failure Analysis • Weeks 4-5 (Early Signs): First indicators of Heat and Light Stress appeared. Leaves began "tacoing" (curling upwards) as a defense mechanism against high LED intensity and surface temperatures. • Week 6 (The Decline): Visible Nutrient Lockout occurred. While resin was being produced, the fan leaves turned pale yellow and developed necrotic (burnt) edges. Specific phenotypes on the right began to droop permanently, indicating root-zone dysfunction. • Week 7 (Systemic Collapse): The plants entered a state of Severe Dehydration. Despite moisture in the soil, the plants could no longer transport water to the canopy. Buds stopped swelling and became "stunted." • Final Action: An emergency harvest was conducted to salvage what little resin remained before the plants completely dried out on the stalk. 2. Root Cause Breakdown • Environmental Overload: Light intensity was likely too high for the plants to manage without higher CO2 or lower temperatures. This led to chronic transpiration stress. • Root Zone Lockout: In the "Living Soil" system, pH imbalances or excessive salt buildup likely caused a lockout, preventing the uptake of water and essential nutrients (P-K) during the critical bulking phase. • The Masking Effect: The dense cover crops may have made it difficult to accurately monitor soil moisture and oxygen levels, potentially contributing to root suffocation.

a good strain very rich in terpenes, I had it tested at the mary jane and the result was not bad, as seen in the picture. I spoke with a breeder from compound genetics at the fair, he said with this strain you only have 1 week to capture the strawberry flavor after that it's over ^^

That's it for this one. Spider mites from outdoor clones made it into this late flowering tent.

My plant achieved 2nd place in the Living Soil Grow category at the Living Soil Cup 2026 at Mary Jane, which makes me very proud. Awesome Strain, big yields, great bag appeal, solid terps, super frosty, compact Buds, Nice Colour but just that little bit of funk missing to be a 10/10

It wasn't that easy, but it's done. They smell very intense after cutting, very spicy, soapy, a bit sweet, and maybe a little bit of citrus in there. I'm drying them whole and will trim them dry since the conditions are okay for me at the moment. I'm aiming for about 7 days of drying time. 5 days later: No.3: It was only 5 days for Pheno No.3 until I trimmed it. It was already dry, and the buds are now in the curing bucket at about 62% humidity. The interval is set to ventilate 4 times a day for 30 minutes, and I'm aiming for a value of about 60%. The humidity in the bucket might still rise a bit as the remaining moisture from the inside of the buds distributes more evenly. The progress is being tracked and monitored with a simple Govee Wi-Fi hygrometer. From the trim, I've already made the first dry sift hash. After about 2-3 minutes of shaking, I got the first 10g out. I've also collected the scissor hash. The difference in taste from the hash to the flower is still quite noticeable at the moment, but the buds still need to dry/curing properly. It's definitely very smooth and doesn't scratch at all, tasting very intensely spicy with a strong chemical/soapy/gassy note. The other two phenos need a bit longer since they are drying in the 120x90 tent, and for some reason, it dries slower there than in the smaller 90x90. So I'll check back in 2-3 days. A few days later: They are now stable and in the jar. The taste has changed significantly again and, in my opinion, improved. The soapy note has become much less pronounced, and it now mainly tastes spicy. No.1 has a nice dense bud structure and is relatively green when ground. No.2 has yielded very little and the buds are still small. No.3 has great bag appeal with a colorful mix of green and purple tones. Cured and ready: They are now stable and mainly taste musky with a herbal perfume. I just got a ball vape (WOHW), and with that, the flavor comes extremely close to the smell. The taste is very intense and lingers in the mouth for a long time, and the high is relaxing for me but not sleepy. All 3 phenos are close in flavor, and all 3 have a reasonable trichome density, only the color differs.

I've never had such problems with a grow until now. The first one had an EC that was high at flowering. So I watched the other one more carefully. No drain was higher than 2.5, but she got weaker and weaker in flowering. The terpenes didn't develop much. It smells a little bit citrusy, but I don't want to smoke that troubled shit anyway. Maybe the next one... At least the performance was acceptable in the end. And the "wet" weight should be nearly comparable to the dry weight. So I won't waste any more time on this harvest and will put the buds into the fireplace... burn in hell, you highest... muhahaha At least I got some clones from the stronger one and will try again because I'm ambitious...

These shots show the buds after a 3-month cure. I keep the fan leaves on during curing, then trim afterward, using the trim to make hash. This was the longest flowering plant of the run, finishing at a solid 13 weeks — but well worth the wait, yielding 75g dry from a single plant (the top performer of that run in terms of weight). The bag appeal isn’t what many growers might expect from Compound or from what’s often considered “top-shelf” today — dense, rock-hard buds. Instead, this pheno leaned more toward a classic sativa expression. She grew tall with elongated, spear-like buds that took time to firm up and fully coat in sticky resin. The structure is very haze-like: light green, airy flowers that might initially come across as average. But looks can be deceiving — this turned out to be one of the most unique smokes of the run. The terpene profile is complex and constantly evolving. It opens on a strong gassy note with a hint of mint, then shifts into something funkier — almost like wild meat or overripe papaya — with occasional bubblegum sweetness coming through. Truly unexpected. The effects follow the same path: enjoyable and functional during the day, but with a sharp edge that can catch you off guard if you’re not ready for it. I’d been wanting to run this strain for a while, especially after growing La Bomba from Compound. I was curious to see how old-school genetics would pair with modern lines, and once again, it didn’t disappoint. I still have a few seeds left, so I’m seriously considering a dedicated long-flowering sativa run with other strains, especially from Ace Seeds (if you’re curious ;-))

I had a tall pheno I topped too many times, a stout plant with a few great bud sites, and my keeper was a combo of great quality and lots of bud sites.

Not the biggest yield, but that was expected as I only vegged her for 3-4 weeks. Her flowering period was so quick too, if I was to grow her again, I'd probably veg her for 6 weeks with two toppings and more training to get a big yield from her! I cut her down and performed a wet trim, removing all stems/leaves and trimming all her sugar leaves down. She will now be dried in a dark cool room with the RH at around 55%, for 7-10 days. She will then be put in jars and cured for about a month smoke report to follow

The seeds were a bit slow in germation and only one of two made it. In the grow the plant is an real eye candy and easy to grow.

an unpretentious, strong and beautiful strain he didn't cause any problems, only pleasant emotions very tasty and strong - everything is as promised

Amazing wash strain. Great effects. Have some variety in first 2 phenos I washed. I processed the buds of the last 2 plants and put in plastic containers in freeze to wash. Cutting bugs into dime- quarter size, I work fast and careful to protect brack and calyx’s and get into freezer asap. Yield is insane have to tie ur buds up they’ll be massive. So much trichromes and flavor: and an everlasting gmo. Heavy all around high good for day and/or night. gives you a great appetite, clean on lungs; I’ve had lung issues so this is a must. Overall I can’t be happier with the outcome. Not done with her yet still have at least another 2,000 wet grams to process and probly 1000 grams of trim. Already have estimated 80 grams of rosin will have a total yield eventually with final update.

Very good plant
