Carestaker's - Hybrid LED / HPS Powered 4x4 - Various Strains

Mondo Congrats brother, great job with the big trim.

Glad the Panny finally came down!!

Thanks brother Les! Me too. Can't wait till I can test her out after she drys and cures a bit. Her flowers look and smell like sugary lemons that danced in the dirt a bit. Her bud formation is just a group of calyx chains that fill with red pistils, and then swells up. They are surprisingly dense, and greasy.

I'll do my best to get some pics up. Lots going on atm! Peace, Love and great green nugs!

After chop. She's got these cool purple striped caylxes on a few of the buds that I've opened to dry for testing.

She really yellowed out fast, and I think I misfed her too just before she started, so she's a bit raggedy. I got pics of the worst of it, mainly the tallest colas. Buds look great though, and are sticky as hell. I'll post some of the trimmed colas tomorrow. I've not tried any of her lately. I'm waiting.

Before chop

Panama Harvest Pics. She had the swollen calyx-spire type of bud, so very hard to trim. I think about 3 or 4 hours in, I just started taking the tips off, and if a calyx got in the way, it followed the tip. The bud, it just kept coming. I ended up filling that whole box with tons of hanging branches, and took the rest off the stem to fill a good sized drying hammock.

Some Strawberry Blue nugs till I can get nug from all 6 plants, in a good light.

Nice.... congrats on the harvest nice work

 

[budnoob2]

What are you going to do with all those seeds? muahaha, just kidding - nice buds and congrats!

 

[AllSmiles]

Nice job bro. Them buds is top notch. +reps

It's great to see the Panama harvest pics!

The leaf to calyx ratio isn't all that great, like mine, but the character of the strain and its product are well worth it. HUGE yield, CS, heheh. Now we gotta hope you like it enough. I keep a jar of it in my at-hand stash collection and turn to it on a regular basis when I want some variety. It has its own distinct terpene profile and its own sativa high. I find that Carnival will get me a bit too wired sometimes - not like a SSH or SLH, not teeth-gritting - but not "relaxing". Panama has that unique dense high - enough to take the wired edge off without sedating me. Heheh, "greasy" is a good description of what I got from it. Too many leaves, but they were plenty sticky by themselves. The scissor hash was special!

Thanks for all the Reps and Rep comments!!

Nice.... congrats on the harvest nice work

Thanks SD! I swear I can trim blindfolded now.

I'm going to plant every single one of them For winter, I'm thinking of some Diesel. It'll be fun watching your space take shape brother.

Nice job bro. Them buds is top notch. +reps

Kind of you to say, AS I'm happy with this run. Already looking for what's next. Oooh, your #3 is up be right ovah!

I just lit a little fire, while I type this out. She grew in a special way, and I like to like the way my buds grow. I really hope I like her smoke too, cause...there's a bunch of her. She swelled, and yielded well at the end, like you said. I'm not sure, but she might go 200. I love the power of this plant. She was 5%+ amber at pull btw. Yeah, greasy makes sense. Thanks for this one GT!

Thanks for all the Reps and Rep comments!!

Hey 60

Outstanding Carestaker, very nice. Reps are on the house.

Congrats Carestaker...

 

[stealthgrow]

Very nice looking harvest, and respectable numbers off those two plants, congrats Carestaker.

Thanks for rolling through 60, and for Reps bro

Congrats Carestaker...

Thanks Reg! And for the Reps+ I'm still trying the Cotton Candy, and it seems like it's going to be a nice mellow high. How you finding stak-a-dolla v.1 or v.2?

Very nice looking harvest, and respectable numbers off those two plants, congrats Carestaker.

Thanks Stealth! I'm pretty happy with these two. With that said, and having tested them a bit. I'll only grow the StawBlue again if she cures and smokes very well, but I might look for the other Cotton Candy pheno, by growing the remaining seed that I have. Stoked to have some variety again.

Peace and love yall! Will put some Panama pics up today.

The first time around I really didn't know what I was doing and on the last harvest from Stack A. Dollar (Cotton Candy) She was issue plagued. But both runs were decent smoke. This third round should be a charm though. My first double re-veg and she's the picture of health. I'll wait for this harvest to give my true opinion on Cotton Candy.

I gotcha. She was very quick to reveg both rounds, if I recall. This round, she's really looking perfect.
I'm looking forward to seeing her finish!

Panama and Fruit Punch were dry this morning, so the final numbers are in.

119 Cotton Candy
93 Strawberry Blue
29 Dirty Skunk, WWxSkunk in soil
59 CooCoo, WWxSkunk in Coco
171 Panama Sativa
12 Fruit Punch, budsicle
-----------------------------
483

That slightly exceeds my target for this run, so I'm pretty happy all considered. I'll follow up with some smoke reports as soon as they are ready for some testing. I may have some friends over, to taste test, and declare the most favored strain of the bunch.

I'll soon post some dried/cure bud shots of all of them, if I have time before I take off for a bit. My work is winding down too, so I will be able to catch up on everyone's happenings. Peace, love, and many thanks to all that follow, advise, and spread the word and work.

 

[budnoob2]

Nice pull - that should hold you over a couple days

 

[Dennise]

Awesome harvest my friend.........

 

[CareStaker]

I sure hope so. I still can't wait to get the next round started. I have to get some home repairs done first, and then will figure out what's next. I'm going to need some night time pain meds, as I'm all sativa at the moment. So, for the next round I'll have a balance of both. It may change, but here's my thoughts right now.

1x Animal Cookies - Regular
1x Purple Trainwreck - Feminized
1x NY Purple Diesel - Feminized
1x Holy Grail 69 - Feminized
2x Moneymaker

Awesome harvest my friend.........

Thanks D! I'm all kinds of and and already can't wait for the next round. I see you are switching to PJs mix for soil. That reminds me to run at least one plant all organic on the next run. I'll check your thread for your impressions of the new mix, when you get it cooked, as we run much the same soil, with LED.

 

[AllSmiles]

Good job CS. Nice harvest.

Yeah Carestaker, Cotton Candy is a fast re-vegger. I'll be looking forward to your smoke report so I'll know what to expect from this strain when grown properly.
