Thanks Pan, L8, Perico, Hippie, Gator, and Crazy420... I apprecate it. I love signing in to see that people have been lookin at my grow...
Perico I did get to smoke some of the cuttings, and they had a very unpleasant taste... No cure=nasty smoke. The high was surprisingly long lasting.
Propa gator, I've seen some 12/12 plants stay under 1'. At the same time, My sativa had no influence in terms of Lst, and its about 2'. I guess it all depends on the strain and your technique... I would say reliably they should be within the 1-2' range by the time the stretch is over.
I bought a pocket scope from radio shack. 60-100x for $15... The trics on Aretha are gettin close. About 15-20% amber at the moment. I've been flushing for 2 weeks, so I decided it was high time I take her top cola... I'm letting the rest of her go for another 2 weeks or so just to see the difference in smoke... Wet weight of the top cola was 29.8g. Not bad for a 12/12 cola!
wow, aretha's on huuuuuuuge *@#$%^ lol, hmm i'll keep that in mind as soon as lucy's almost ready, i'm not sure i'll have the patience to wait tho, i might have to endure the harsh taste lol
beautiful man thats all i can say you did one hell of a job bro. also wanted to stop in an say thanks for all your help i got my lil ones started on LST. you bin a big help
Hello everyone! I've been in Hawaii with my family since the beginning if May. I was forced to cut this grow short guys... sorry for the abrupt ending.
I had a very relaxing month hanging with old friends, and seeing how the island of Oahu is changing... I also got the chance to smoke some of my uncles outdoor winter crop. It was amazingly aromatic and pungent. Overall, I had a really good time kickin' it and making memories on the north shore.
I am dreading returning to the daily grind once more...
No grow is complete without a few harvest pictures!! Here they are...
Meaty ol' nuggets from just a 150hps and 8 CFLs...
DANK!!
The smoke is not as tasty as I had been expecting... Has kind of an antiseptic spicy taste to it... May be residual nutrients due to minimal flushing (4 day flush).
The high is great! Its a real mind fuck. The body effects are lacking but thats okay. I wasn't looking for late night bud anyway. The effects are very long lasting and I am quite pleased.
Overall I would give the final, cured product a 7/10 aroma/taste, and a 8.25/10 High. Aretha that is...
The other two plants were quick dried in the open air and ground into shake to bake with. The edibles were not very potent, but they were still edibles! I didn't mind having to eat an extra brownie or cookie here and there... I really wish I could have let the runt and sativa go for as long as they required, but I got the chance to visit the folks on the island so I went ahead and bounced out... There is always next time. Speaking of which I still have 5 Cali-O, and 5 Hindu Kush seeds waiting to be germ'd. So keep an eye out for my next grow. Its gonna be much more legit than this one...
Thanks to everyone who followed this journal. You are the only people to witness the grow, and I thank you for giving me the the opportunity to share my garden with the world... Untill next time, this is Dread signing off! Be easy and have an irie summer!!!
