CARNIVAL!!!
Welcome to the newest in a string of community grows. Graytail introduced me to Carnival, and mentored me through the successful cultivation of not only my first Carnival, but my first real adventure in raising a photoflowering strain. My deepest, most heartfelt thanks, my friend. You taught me much more about life during those chats than you realize.
What is it about Carnival? Let's start with the breeder's discriptive. From Ministry of Cannabis:
"Description
The word carnival reminds you of a happy atmosphere all around, of Venice and the thousands of people dressed like centuries ago, or of Rio, Brazil, where millions of people go crazy just for a few days a year. This strain has been designed to bring the carnival into your mind. The entire process of selection and crossing has been made in Spain. This is a cross between a Haze mother and a particular individual mostly sativa as father. Carnival has an extremely high content of thc: the laboratory test on our sample has shown an amazing 23,2%. This is not the only good note, the flowering time is really short for a plant that is 80% sativa.
Available in bags of 2 or 5 seeds.
Kind of seeds: female
Indoor/Outdoor
80% Sativa 20% Indica
Flowering Time: 9 weeks
Yield: 400-450 gr per sq. mt. indoor, up to 300 gr per plant outdoor
THC: Up to 23%"
Graytail and I have both described the high as a "meth-type buzz". What we mean by that reference is the clear-headed and heightened awareness accompanied with this boundless energy and general sense of cheerfulness one gets, or should I say I get, since I'm the only one I can speak for. The first time I tried my harvest I detailed my kitchen. Hahaha! Yeah, it's that much fun. I went in to make coffee and spent five hours cleaning every little inch of the room, humming a happy tune the entire time.
The pictures above are from my one and only venture into this territory. I pulled her a bit early to go on vacation, but she still gave me 59 grams, dry, so no complaints from this gardener at all. Those were some of my favorite brownies. I have my next generation coming out of the dirt as I type these words, and you can bet your life SweetSue will be perfecting the art of cloning. I see a dedicated Carnival grow in my future. Think of it, two tents dedicated to a perpetual garden of Carnival.
I think that would be a wonderful way to spend a year of my life. Carnival in the tents, Dark Devil Auto in the closet. Yeah, sweet.
Join me. Show off your own Carnival. Post some pictures of current or past grows. Beat your chest and celebrate another spectacular, easy to grow, quick-finishing strain with incredible THC levels and known for its frosty nature. Great meds, excellent recreational choice and a sheer joy to watch as she matures into beautifully fragrant, tightly-packed blossoms.
Yeah, I'm pretty sold on this one. Get yourself some seeds already. What are you waiting for? An invitation? Consider yourself invited.
Let's get this party going.
