Xlr8's Quest For The Best - 2012

Those are some damn fine looking pics, there, X. I guess I'll jest have to wait to enter any more contests till December! LOL! I'm open to MOTM nom again then, soooo..... hehe. Excellent nug my friend.

Thanks Jandre - haha, enter away! I entered and lost several notms and potms before finally winning one. Lots of good growers, photographers and nice herb out there and you just never know what is going to trip peoples triggers...
 
damn nice nug there X
maybe i shoulda waited till december lol like jandre
props to u on the info too
id like to say that i have cloned fem seed plants with no herms
i guess it all boils down to the quality of the seed
quality as in how they made the fem seeds not strain lol
i usually only buy fem seeds for the exact reason of not wasting space for males
limited and all.

Hi Chronic -

You have a very nice looking nug entered too my friend! :high-five:

Good feedback on fem seed clones - matches my experience as well (no probs so far with clones). They are nice when space is limited for sure - or plant counts, etc..
 
I dried a decent Deadhead Ripper sample nug properly for a few days to get a better idea on the flavor and high.

She is very close to finished. Her calyx's are fat and swollen, and have all but swallowed up the pistils completely. Trichomes are mostly milky, with a fair amount still clear and barely any amber at all. This is probably the most resinous pant I've grown overall - there are some buds that are nearly white from trichome coverage. It's superfreakincool.

I was very pleasantly surprised by both how good it actually tasted even without a cure, and the overall flavor itself. Since this is a unique cross between my Deadhead OG mom, and a Jack the Ripper male I had, I really haven't known what to expect.

It has retained a lot of the Deadhead OG diesel/chemical flavor, but the JTR influence has added some subtle citrus/sandlewod flavor to it that really raises it up a notch, and frankly made it very appealing flavor-wise. It tasted spot-on like "Lucy", one of my favorite strains flavor-wise. Always leaves you wanting another hit just for the taste alone. :yummy:

The high of Deadhead Ripper is complex and intense. A creeper like the JTR, but it was a gradual, wind-up creep unlike JTR's "nothing, then WHAM" creeper effect. It was very up, pleasant/happy, buzzy-bodied... And it made me feel the socks on my feet, lol. There was a nice come down that left me a little tired, but not sedated feeling. It was pretty giggly stuff - I laughed a lot! I think I might really like this cross.

Strong?!? It was like I'd taken edibles after a bit - WOW! Also, seemed to really enhance sights/sounds. Left me with "permagrin"!

Deadhead Ripper is... less than a week away I'd say. Week at the most. Another week or two on the OG Ripper, and probably 2 more on Jack the Ripper.

The Future:

The seedlings are all doing well. The Sweet Deep Grapefruit has a little stunting from a "helmet getting stuck" issue. I didn't pre-soak the seeds for as long as I normally do (hardly at all this time). Since I started pre-soaking them, rarely have I had issues with them removing the seed casing. Shortcuts can shoot you in the foot!

So, to recap the new seedlings, now starting second set of leaves: Vortex, Jilly Bean, Sweet Deep Grapefruit, Pre-98 Bubba Kush, Humboldt. I'll combine a few of these with a Pineapple Express for the next round.


Hopefully, I can get some new pics sometime again tomorrow...
 
:popcorn:
 
damn
very good report there X
i cant describe all the different smokes in detail
i usually feel stoned or really stoned lol
 
Just trying to catch up today, and came across your smoke report!!
NICE work my friend!!
Sounds like you've got a keeper there with that breed.
Can't wait for the next report.
I've got a joint rolled up waiting for it..
 
Just wanted to leave a quick note... I've been dealing with some life issues and unable to get online much. I haven't been able to get new pics taken yet, but will do so when I can. I peeked in on them tonight, and things look really good - I'm excited! Thank you all for the kind words. :)
