re: Brightlight's Strain Fest - Organics & LED
Been awhile since I drove thru, That last pic remind me of the Cripit I had awhile back. Looks great GL in the season and Keepem Green
I do remember your Cripit pics....back when I 1st joined & remember thinking "holy moly!!" You PNW guys cook with those Stoney Girl strains.
I'm ashamed to say I've missed this journal...until now. Being the lazy SOB that I am, I'm not going back to page 1, but if you have room for one more, I'm in for whatever lies ahead. Loving what you're doing, BL!
Welcome Major....good to see you. For the outdoor growers/fans who aren't already following, go see the Major. Love in action.
Hey beast along w/ your ever-present pipe. Some autos coming up.
Today's update fueled by
Ghost Train Haze #1. Tester from bottom tiny buds that air dry quick. If it works ok, things can only get better. RD strain description includes "powerful amped up high". Definitely higher on the voltage meter, real soaring initial buzz but not jittery/tweaky. So much interest I had to check it out. Good 1st impression. Would be a good one to try when going for sheer power type strain. Cutting tomorrow, pics soon.
SSSDH Harvested last wk., I had great anticipation for this strain. I grew out a full pack of regulars outdoors over several seasons. It easily hit the favorites list, maybe even top 5. Seed availability is irregular. Happily I finally landed a fem pk. While glad to get them, mini disappointment that the fems seem to be newly created version still w/ SD & SSH but not the RezDog original cut in the regulars. Oh well so what. Didn't matter. Man, I love this strain. Smooth, easy acceleration like driving a V8. Plenty strong &
genuinely euphoric. Feel Good Special strain. Picked at ~75% cloudy. About right I think even though buds starting to look past peak. Smell still there...floral, vegetal along w/ dank type SD smell. Some SSH woody, nutty notes. Mid green w/ silvery trichome coverage. Perfect cannabinoid matches to my receptors.
Autoflowers
While current batch was flowering I started 5 autos in my veg tent. It's a 2x4 w/ 300w LED. I bought the TH MK Ultra Mind Control Box, which was a good deal giving me some MKU Autos & MKU Bubblegums along with the MKU's for very little more. 3 MKU Autos went in w/ a Dinafem White Widow & a Dinafem OG, both freebies.
All I can say is damn these autos are a lot of fun. Probably some beginner's luck, but they grow nicer than I ever imagined. I'd only grown 2 ever, both outside. A few quick impressions: grow fast like nothing I've ever seen, pistils before 4 wks. of life, stretch like mad, very easy to grow, MKU's look real close to ready to pick at 60 days total, yields look to be more than expected. The MKU's list "9 wks. flowering" so I didn't know whether that meant just flower or life of plant. It's got to be the latter. The Widow & the OG lists 70-80 days.
Check out these MKU pictures. Genetics clearly expressed in phenos....tall OG, squat G13. Smallest plant got 3 nodes busted off but was always odd w/ some twisty leaves, then albino flowers. A couple started producing chlorophyll but others stayed white. Under magnification lots of trichomes & also leaves, but all white. The photo MKU's ended up being a fine herb but gave me some trouble & weren't my best plants. These autos are easily better plants than the photos. Knowing entire cycle would be accelerated, these were grown using both organic & non organic products. I tried to use as much organics as I could but not everything.
I'll blame the GTH for being longwinded.
I hope that's a look I'll soon see. Looks a bit more thin leafed, with sharer serrations, than my Buddah Tahoe. If I had to to guess, after reading up on the lineage, that yours is the Louis crossed with Tahoe Kush, and I got the Louis x Tahoe OG. I enjoyed the synopsis, I'm really looking forward to how they both turn out. 
SSDH sounds amazing. Going to be looking for that and the Sour Kosher for future seed purchase.
