Hey Doc,
Just wanted to reply on the Brix subject. I finally think I been able to locate a good Mineralized soil , from Mastery Nurserys . Have you heard of Black Forrest or Bumper Crop from them ? They are in Cali.
My Berry Bomb grow is not going so good, almost all the plants are male, good to know now. I still have a few more to show. I wanted to ask you what you thought about composting the plants instead of just trashing them. I had them on BPN 3 part elite. If I compost them will the nutes harm the new soil?
Any way great grow and system. Thanks for allowing us to become a part of all your efforts. I personally appreciate it very much.
Cant wait for the smoke report.
Sounds like you're on the right track! I don't think composting the plants will do any harm, if you know how to do such things go for it.
Smoke report? I thought I did that a few pages back. Well, it just so happens I had a few hits of the Lemon Paki a half hour ago. I'm in the perfect frame of mind for a smoke report!
Visual appeal: Stunning. Light green/gray with reddened pistils and visible trichomes everywhere in great number. One of the frostiest nugs you can see, especially now that it's cured.
Smell: initially OG Kush with more lemon comes to mind. It's very aromatic but gets sweeter if you bruise it or grind it. Grinding enough for a joint will stink up the whole house. Now, as it cures, it takes on a bit more of a fuel like smell that is very, very subtle. It smells like a plant resin.....that describes it! Think of surfboard resin and then pretend a plant made something like that except it's not toxic.
Burn: Takes a couple good pulls to get it lit. It stays lit for a long time and burns kind of like hash. A bowl full in a 15 inch bong takes me about 7 hits to clear. I've grown some stuff I could clear in one huge hit, or 2. Other stuff takes maybe 4 or 5 hits......the High Brix Lemon Paki? 7 or 8 hits. The smoke is very thick and lingers, it's great for blowing smoke rings.
Taste: The word steam comes to mind. It tastes likes steam, very little flavor at all. You can't even tell you're taking a hit. After getting over the shock of tasteless weed, you notice that the steam has a very subtle, lemony-weed taste and it makes your lips and tongue taste sweet. I've never tasted anything like this weed. People who try it say mixed things that range from: no flavor, to "Hands down the best weed I've ever had. I want a pound, name your price."
Me? I freakin' love it. I could smoke a cigar of it. In my opinion I think High Brix weed brings out subtleties and taste that aren't at all well known to the majority of smokers. Normal high grade weed can have a very strong flavor, which can be very enjoyable. Think of that like the bite on some homegrown moonshine by someone who knows what they're doing.
Compared to that, this Lemon Paki is like a 300 dollar single malt or even a very high end vodka. The flavor is very subdued and comes out more as you smoke it. No coughing, no ceiling, the more you smoke the better you feel.
I've got some full melt hash from the trim I've yet to try. It's truly a blond hash.
Effect: Starts off in the head, with a clear "clean brain" feel. It's like sunshine. The first couple minutes after smoking doesn't give any indication how strong it is. A half hour later you're plenty high. An hour later I'm just as high but my body is very relaxed. Not a tight muscle anywhere, and I can still type....except my mind is wandering.
The effect is lovely.....but my favorites are equatorial sativas.....so this isn't a heavy indica effect. I suspect this is how true Kush's are supposed to feel.
This weed does not get you stoned, it gets you high. To me, there's a difference.
So that's the smoke report. I suspect you'll hear similar things from the other High Brix guys. This is definitely different and in a major way. The smoke tastes so good I suspect a first time smoker would think it delicious. You just want the smoke to linger and roll off the tongue. There was never any urge to cough.
