Dutch Kush, LSD, Strawberry Gum Grow Diary

[Roy Growin]

Hang on, that can't be right - a recount is on the way with the with a summary

 

[Trala]

Your neatness and order when jarring makes my heart sing. And those buds are on fleek bruv.

Good job Growings

Had to ditch a few early on because they would not behave nicely (Tangerine Dream, Space Cookies, Diesel)
LST was a failure so I tried clones but they were feeble too

First crop was JH Auto - doddle to grow, compact, quick but undeniably JH

Lemon Kush Auto came in second with a nice yield and a citrus whiff, compact buds

Strawberry Gum gets fat and sticky and just seems to carry on flowering - I chopped at about 10 weeks
[Purely in the interests of modern medicine, I selflessly allowed myself to be subject to a carefully controlled experiment, and, I can confirm that too much of this stuff will indeed make you hallucinate - top tip from Growings ]

Then there was the unknown that turned into a monster and collapsed - a 3oz yield, insanely resinous

The Indica/Sativa X cross is surprisingly good, not a huge yield but it's smooth/skunky wih a happy solid body buzz

Dutch Kush is another superb all-rounder - pretty tidy, heavy yield, tastes quite light for a Kush but the hit goes straight behind the eyes

5th - Strawberry Gum - great yield, very strong but not a great deal of flavour
4th - Indica/Sativa X - uniform and compact, smooth and piney, nice all-round hit
3rd - Lemon Kush - nice tight frosty buds on 6-8 colas, flavour comes through after about 8wks cure - excellent
2nd - Dutch Kush - the smell is gorgeous, tastes light and fresh, head high hit that creeps up on you - very kind
!st - Jack Herer - A long-time favourite of mine; for me it is the perfect blend of Indica/Sativa, easy to grow, reasonable yield and a fabulous smooth mellow smoke

Will report on the monster when it is cured - it is incredible oily and taking a hell of a long time to dry (60F 70RH)

My grow space is 80cm x 80cm, 2.5L & 4.8L pots, coco, TS1000, 300w programmable burple LED
Last tally should read 240g - I have no idea where 460 came from

Last trim - yay!

Plus a photo for fun - I like the colours & blur

 

[Trala]

Good job, guv’na

Just brewed up some trim for a coffee
Think I'm gonna be very comfy very soon

I contacted Advanced Seeds to find out what the unknown freebie was that turned into a monster
It was Pineapple Glue - wow

Hi @Roy Growin this isn’t grow related.

I wanted to tell you about a Netflix series I watched and LOVED.

The Queens Gambit. It is about a chess prodigy (which is what I thought I was till I played you btw lol). It was really good. Well I think it was, and I think you might like it too if you’re looking for a series.

The idea of rinsing in H2O2 is to remove dust and dirt on the leaves and in the stomata, also sterilizes the bud to eliminate bud rot
I also know from water curing that a lot of gunk builds up and can be leached out, debatable if the leaf/bud takes on fresh oxygenated water from the H2O2 at the same time
Problem with iced water is it freezes the resin making it brittle - that's the principle of ice extraction
If the water's too warm the resin turns to glue, sticks everything together so air flow is reduced for drying
Room temp - no problem

Good to know. I definitely don't recommend the ice water for bud wash!!
Unfortunately I learned this too late.
