I haven't shared much about the other tent or new veg box lately so here's an update on all that.
Here's the auto I recently shared. That pic was a few days ago so took a few new ones tonight when she got fed.
Here's the plant that was supposed to be auto, but wasn't. I flipped it a few days ago so it's just starting it's stretch.
It was from CKS and they had a labeling issue sending out Sour Jack photos in place of one of their autos at one point, so I'm thinking that's what I got in my auto mix pack. If it is that would be cool because it's Sour Diesel crossed with Jack Herer. But I'm seeing 12 weeks and massive stretch on some of them and that does not sound fun. It trains well and seems strong, but smells like menthol and wood when you run the stem which doesn't excite me. Hope her flowers smell better, I'm curious now so I guess we will see!
Here's the little veg box.
I added a small 2 prong red/blue LED in the back right there for when there are clones/seedlings in there. Read that red helps them root better. I took 6 clones from the Sour Jack (I'm just going to call it that from now on) before the flip and they rooted in about 5 days under it, so seems to work.
All the white cups are Sour Jack clones. Put them in the cups once they rooted in the rapid rooters.
The biggest plant up front is the lone surviving clone from Lefty in the OG tent. She is in 1 gal of docs soil and has blown up in the week since I put her in it! Tying her down and keeping her real low and it doesn't phase her one bit. The plan for her is to continue to torture the shit outta her and keep her as low as I can til her mom and aunt finish up in a few weeks. Probably try to circle her around the pot lol.
In the back under the red lights now are 2 new In House Genetic Grand Double Purples! Had a hard time deciding between them and one of the BOGs, but I haven't had any purps in years so it had to be the GDP. Planted 3 days ago, broke through yesterday and are in 1 gal pots of Doc Buds HBB soil. They're reg seeds so it's a gamble only going with two but I had a good feeling about it. I should be able to take a cutting from them and throw it in a flower tent to find out before one of my tents opens up anyway. Exciting times!
Speaking of exciting, I harvested my first 2 plants. They were the tiny iddy biddy teensy weensy autos I had and gave 3.4 grams and 5 grams... Lol. The smoke is actually decent though. They've been curing for a week and I'll share some before and after photos.
Here's the one that smells like lemons/fuel/wood right after chop/wash/trim and was 3.4 grams dry.
And here it is tonight after drying for 3 days and curing for a week
Smoke is smoother than I expected, tastes very much like lemon drops on inhale and earthy/sour exhale. Woody aftertaste in the mouth though not so good. Kind of sticky, airy and light. Overall I'd rate it 4/10.
This one smells like your nose is close to a blueberry muffin and there is some hash nearby. Really smells delicious! It was so airy and the leaves were mostly covered in trichs so I barely trimmed it at all. I also didn't take pics right away, but here it is the next day.
And here it is after 3 days drying and a week curing
That first bud got smoked Already lol, but it's the same plant. This one tastes amazing. Very berry on the inhale and hashy on the exhale. Pleasant hasthy aftertaste and is super sticky. Leaves a sweet berry aroma on your fingers that lingers for awhile. This one is a little bit harsher though, burns the throat a little bit. Overall I'd rate it a 5/10.
I only sampled a small nug of each in the bong, but am pretty stoked to have some of my own buds in stock now. Its not much, and it's not fire by any means. I'd be pissed if someone tried to sell it to me. But it's mine damnit, and I'm proud as hell! Plus after seeing these turn out ok and at least usable, I can't wait to see what the OG girls bless me with! Also I realize it's early in the cure and they will get better so they may knock my socks off in a few more weeks... Ok, I gotta go to bed at some point, peace yall
