It occurs to me, I never followed up with the last grow I completed during hiatus. I was foolish enough to not write it down “I’ll remember” famous last words. They were all fairly close, so I’ll post up my best recall numbers.
Critical mass 1 - 109 (biggest yield)
Critical mass 2 - 91
OG kush - 89
Cherry 18 - 71
I’ve been able to smoke the critical masses well. My throat is still giving me issues, so I’ve had to cut way back on smoking. But the CM gives me nearly no issues. Luckily since I grew two of her! The OG I let go for too long, her sugar leaves were burnt and I suspect there was some type of mold issue, harsh af sometimes. I did end up tossing a good amount of it. Luckily her clone is going strong now and I won’t be making the same mistake again!
Cherry 18 - this is the only one I hadn’t grown previously so a little bit of review: funky af! I opened the jar and stuck it under Mr. H’s nose and he said “wow that abrasive” lol, I wondered if he meant aggressive, but either way, it’s a proper description. Skunky sweet is the best I can describe. Powerful and loud. At first smoking it made me stupid stoned like a newb. After it cured for a month or two, it either mellowed or I got more used to it, both? Either way, not
quite so dumb. The buds were super sticky and dense. It was a great plant. If you’ll recall, she vegged suuuper slow, I wonder if the next time I grow, it’ll be the same or if she was some sort of mutant. I remember Penny saying that mutants were special sometimes, so we’ll have to grow it again and see! It did bother my throat sometimes, so maybe it ended up with some moldies on the inside of the buds? I just don’t know anymore. Trying to figure out what irritates my throat is so hit and miss, the best I can guess is that some prices had mold and
that’s what was irritating? I don’t know. Some sort of allergies? It’s still a mystery to me. I started using my oils a lot more and that has allowed me to smoke occasionally without as much problem.
Anyway, back on track, Cherry 18 was awesome, I just wish she was a little bigger. Great for combining with another strain to round out the duh-ness of it and make it not such a knock out punch. Would definitely grow again and recommend for some funk lovers out there.
