Well, it's been a few weeks since I posted an update. Frankly, I got a lil ODed on cannabis cultivation.
Harvesting 2 to 3 plants per week loses its charm after awhile, y'know? Sheesh, I barely had a chance to get the feel of one strain, before there's another one to try. So I have a big backlog, heheh.
I'm less impressed with Blue Dream than I thought I would be. It has a great taste and the initial rush is fine - bright and social - but it doesn't fade as well as other strains like it. So, been there now, done that, won't be running Blue Dream again.
I'm not sure how I feel about Raspberry Diesel yet. I need to spend more time with it. I liked it right away, but it sure does stink when you burn it.
Makes the house smell like a smoldering rope factory. The raspberry is nice, but Carnival has as much fruit and it doesn't have the afterstink. Dunno - we'll see. I'm revegging it.
The revegged Bluniverse is in bloom now. It's another one I'm not sure about. I think I like Raspberry Diesel better, so this is probably the last time for Bluniverse, too, although I have a cut ready to run as a small plant.
King Gelato was another bust. I'm not used to running these slow indica based strains, and I didn't give it enough veg for a second time. I have seeds, though, so I can always run another one later. I'm more interested in seeing how Afghan Kush x Black Domina turns out.
I also have a Goji Pupil, which is Star Pupil by Goji OG.
The UBHazes both turned out very well. This has been a consistently good strain for me - I've probably run it 5-6 times now, each time from a new seed - surprisingly uniform for an F1.
DurBush was a big surprise. I thought it would be a nice normal 10 week strain, like a typical Ciskei or Durban would be. But nope, this one went 99 days and was still happily blooming at the top. And I like it! Again, I haven't gotten a handle on it yet, but it has a very distinctive aroma and a quick rushing high.
I'm dumping Carnival2 and sticking with the better pheno. I still think there's a punchier pheno though, so I'm trying to pop a Carnival3 for the next run.
So, on to the pics!
To start with, here's the revegged Bluniverse at 30 days
I love the way this Carnival pheno stretches and builds its colas.
I have two DeadlySativas from Mass Medical Strains. It's AmnesiaHaze x PrayerTower. PrayerTower is LemonThai x (GreenCrack x TresDawg) so there's some nice genetics in there.
MassMed says it's a very stretchy strain so I put them into bloom rather small, but DS2 is going to be a shorty and DS1 isn't exactly wild. I like the look of DS1 though, and its clone rooted very well.
DeadlySativa1 - 15 days
DeadlySativa2 - 9 days
This is DCPurple, a seed from the selfed purple DevilsCarnival F2.
For now, I just have 3 small pots in bloom.
BubbaHash - 28 days
Zam+ - 24 days
And this is DevilsCarnival5. I sprouted it June 5th and kept it stunted until last month. I ended up with way too many tops and it doesn't look like it'll stretch, so this'll be a disappointing one.
DevilsCarnival5 - 24 days
In veg, RaspberryDiesel is revegging ...
GojiPupil - I'm letting this one grow as large as I can in veg - probably get flipped next week.
Bluniverse - had this cutting, so I'm running a small one.
I decided I needed a strong nite-nite strain, so I'm running this one - should be fun.
AfghanKush x BlackDomina
A Carnival1 clone, ready for training.
I'm hoping DurBush will reveg ...
Some cuttings in cups - DeadlySativa2s, GojiPupil, Carn1, BubbHash ..
New seedlings - Y Griega, Destroyer, DeadlySativa1 Cut, and a seed I found harvesting BubbaHash, probably from KingGelato, so I though it'd be interesting to run. I still have a Carnival3 soaking.
A GojiPupil cut that looks like it's taking ...
And no plants to harvest in the next weeks!
But it gave me a chance to calculate what the room can actually produce.
It's gotta be the increased canopy depth from the panels.
