Growers Choice Seeds #31

night stuff to the max:zzz::sleeping:, its a hybrid high but leans heavily towards go to fucking sleep kinda high. finishes very fast last week it puts on rock weight and starts burning leaves at a rapid rate.

squuuuuat ass plant (i like my plants like how i like my women, short and fat as fuck)

medium sized leaves, crazy thick foliage :dizzy_face:, about 3 cms per node :sweat_smile: at veg week 5+

i suggest you light stretch during veg to allow a looser canopy than i had to deal with (so much fan wattage for such small plants...)

clones really well

could not reverse photoperiod on flowered clones :confounded:

going to have to buy more :cry:

solid genetics.

Heavy indica hybrid. Nice anxiety/insomnia medicine.

~ What was this like to grow? ~
Mostly a dream, I couldn’t have asked for a better strain, this one’s a keeper! Responded well to all the training, toppings, manifolding, a serious beast to have in my garden. The veg cycle was smooth sailing, strong branches and stems, well developed colas, incredible smelling buds, rich terpene levels, seriously the best smelling buds I’ve ever had, no joke. I thought for a while that this might be my 3rd or 2nd best but man, one of my friends here called it on this girl saying she’s going to blow up and be my best one, well would you look at that ;P I will be growing another batch of this wonderful specimen soon!

~ Effects ~
This girl’s in the Top 5 best cannabis I’ve ever had list! Wow, where do I begin? With a dose of .46g The first effects that I notice are along the lines of being more physical in nature. A gentle wave of warmth accompanied by ever so slight pressure behind the eyes and along brain stem. Around 2-5 minutes there’s a tingling sensation in the paleo cortex region focused around the hippocampus. Of course the effects memory retention so I’m forgetting small things here and there. Around 10-20 The body is experiencing some tingling and heightened sensory awareness, intensifying the cranial/physical sensations around +10x initial effects. Around +45 minutes The genes from Northern Lights kicks in with a heavy hit of relaxation that can be quite sedating depending on dose size. I can’t express how much I love this pheno, perfect for my personal use!

~ Was the quality what I expected? ~
Better! Way better than I anticipated. The moment I tried the first usable quick cured product I was speechless, I haven’t had that level of compatible chemistry in years. What a find, I feel so incredibly blessed to have this one seed shipped to me. This was a hefty plant with 2.5 ounces of cured product, best yield to date. Everything from the terpene profile and effects is spot on, what a lovey job GCS, well done mates! You’ve giving me an incredible product that’s clone stable, fast growing, huge limbs, fat buds, you guys earned my full 10/10 rating, thank you so much <3

~ Final Thoughts ~
It’s the end of a 19 week journey, what a blast! I’ve learned new things, met new fiends here on Grow Diaries, this has been a lovely run. This is by far my best product, I have the two clones to keep this gene profile for a while, hoping a few years of stability at least. Anyways I couldn’t be any more satisfied with this product. It’s going to be hard to save this batch till the next harvest… Need to build a greenhouse now...

~ History ~
For those who didn’t follow my grow this one seed had some strange results. First was noticing early budding with quite a few leaves that had only 3 - 4 fingers, deformed and overall looked small compared to the others. I originally thought that I had a defective auto blueberry but that was not the case. And to make sure it wasn’t environmental I checked the other plants to see if there were any similar or odd symptoms. I found nothing, acknowledging this was a unique case. Clones were unstable, auto flowered after 3 weeks. Another odd thing to mention is the fact that this is supposed to be an indica dominant strain, this was a sativa dominant (Thai genetics) really thin leaves and airy buds. Though this was a unexpected event she made it to 17 weeks and a lot of plant training. If anything I learned from this experience, hopefully this doesn’t happen again soon!

~ First Impression ~
I loved the scent but the effect was lacking, quite a bit. Mind you this is what I experienced with the quick cure product. Harsh, and a weird aftertaste (only present in CBD) that is hard to explain. I will grow more cbd in the future to see if the results are consistent (unstable clones, leaf mutations, etc). I’m hoping for the best, I’m sure this was just one of those seeds that don’t make the cut genetically.

~ Cured Product ~
Still a bit underwhelming, I have to use about 3x my normal dose (.22g - .26g) to about .70g - 1.2g. I notice that my body will experience fatigue, heaviness, musculoskeletal release, and anti anxiety effects. This can’t be used as a daytime medication due to the lethargy like side effects. Works better as a blender, used a bit with Mazar for a pleasant relaxing experience. As this batch cured I noted that the harshness and and weird aftertaste was faintly noticeable, and the smell just gets better!

~ Pros ~
:white_medium_square: Pleasant scent
:white_medium_square: Good yield
:white_medium_square: 1:1 ratio (7% thc/cbd)
:white_medium_square: Resistant to high nutrient levels

~ Cons ~
:white_medium_square: Early flowering (without environmental stress)
:white_medium_square: Not suited for topping, fiming, manifolding techniques
:white_medium_square: Unstable clones, will flower in 3-4 weeks consistently
:white_medium_square: Deformed structure and leaves (11% of leaves had 3-4 fingers
:white_medium_square: Sativa dominant when advertised as an Indica
:white_medium_square: Small and weak compared to the other strains from GCS
:white_medium_square: Hermied (though not much just a few seeds)

~ Final thoughts ~
Well, this was a hard strain to manage but in the long run I think it turned out okay. 56g is not a bad harvest, and the product is pleasant when paired with other strains. I will grow this strain again so I can review a better specimen, I don't want to leave this strain at a low rating for long when the potential is there!

The buds are groomed and hanging up during it's drying stage, Keeping the room at a constant 44% Relative Humidity and 20C or 68F I thought about going a little higher in Humidity but don't want to get mold.
The grow room is very dark and air is circulating but not directly on the Buds themselves. I check Humidity everyday and adjust as needed to maintain a constant 44%. I have a heater if need be to heat the room but the temperature is holding it's own. I have gained a lot of experience growing both the GG and The White Widows in soil and look forward to my next adventure.; White Widow Clones.
