Heyhey, y’all!
Damn. Another weekend gone, eh? Got pretty busy around here working on other projects, but the garden is just about ready to go for the next run, and we’re about excited ass hell to get started in the world of autos. Those of you running them sure make it look like a wild ride, and we’re stoked to jump in.
All things in their time, though, eh? And it wouldn’t be right to start the next grow with out having properly closed the book on this one. So here they are, without further ado, Final reports for grow 3:

Two Plants, Two Phenos. 100% germination, zero expression of hermaphrodite traits. 3 seeds germinated, one seedling culled. Both were topped once. Both were short, extremely bushy, tight, massive fan leaves with deep, slightly rounded serration. Quite “broad leafed.” Dark foliage. Slow vertical growth. Happy with medium GH feed schedule, though it could possibly have been tailored to reduce N, as the leaves were a bit shiny. An easy grow, they took well to steering with LST and scrogging, and would benefit from an extended vegetative period and more topping for a sea of dense, stacked colas. Both exhibited very low, “dark”, earthy and savory stem rubs through vegetation, and are very spicy greens. Both had branches nearly as thick as the meristems, and were hollow through out. Even lowers all the way to the meristem will fatten up well, considering their position, if allowed. Fully “top-shelf” mature bud was present 7 or 8 nodes down on both plants. We intend to grow these again soon.
#QT
Notable growth traits: Shorter, more green, EXTREMELY dense. Very little stretch. (~.5x or less) Showed sex before flip.
While the nose of the flower matured from the savory end to sweet, the over-all taste when vaped maintains a fresh mushroom earthiness that compliments the sweet tones which developed into a spiced citrus much more on the lime than lemon side of things. The flowers are very dense, but easy to break up, not overly-oily or sticky. The effect is a calming, though driving experience. While the body relaxes into a high which is not heavy-handed nor jittery, the mind is readied to find something to do and enjoy- be it cleaning the house, or heading into the world. A great “anytime smoke” as much as one to come home to after a long day.
#FD
Notable growth traits: Taller, though still probably of medium-short stature when not impeded by a scrog-style grow. Some lavender/purple tones in the mature flowers and fade. Dense. Slight Stretch. (~1.5x) Delayed sexing.
The #FD plant was the least tended to, due to its position in the tent, but had very little issue considering. She was (almost entirely) harvested a week earlier than her sister, and had gone from the savory steak-seasoned portabella and orange of the stem rubs, through into a flavor that balances an earthy, incense-like base note, with a powerful nose and higher end of artificial-fruit cereal in cream. The high is more active, as one would expect, though still very well balanced, with no jitters or amped-feeling, just an over-all enhancement of one’s own energy level. Very good for creative endeavors, or tedious, zoned-out work.
Doctor Seedsman 30:1 CBD (Seedsman, photo, feminized)
Two Plants, one pheno, 66% Germination rate, 100% survival to harvest. Both plants were extremely similar in most respects, with #PW experiencing some early issues that were corrected, but led to some differences in growth patterns. Both were topped once. Both had medium-short internodal spacing, were quite “open” in stature, and stretched quite a bit (~2-2.25x), growing in thin, vine-like stalks which took well to training, but require support for flowering, as they are quickly over powered by large, fluffy stacks of buds, themselves precariously jutting out from the branch. Although they both essentially super cropped themselves in mid flower, they were largely happy to respond to it when fixed with support afterward. While thin-branched, they were also hollow. There is a more oily than sticky quality to the resins. The over-all nose is largely of pine and juniper, which happily completes the flavor of spiced cake and gingerbread, all with the slightest orange-y citrus underneath, tying together a smoke that fits the holidays. The effect is massively body oriented, though it is not heavy in the slightest, and there is a marked euphoric effect in the totality of pain relief that it provides. This effect, coupled with such an inoffensive palette makes it an excellent combination smoke, great for filling out fat joints to end the day, or alternate with something high-THC through periods of increased pain or discomfort. Very interested in the possibilities of further processing, especially edibles, with this strain. Possible contender for a staple grow when we expand.
Expect more cured and manicured bud beauty shots from this grow next week, which I regret to not have ready today, and, with all going to plan (come hell or high water) some wet beans!
Thanks again to all of you who gave us so much to encourage and help us through this grow, and being so great a community in general. As always, we appreciate you all and every bit of discourse, encouragement, reading along, following, liking, watching, or just stopping in to say hello! Every single one of you kicks ass, and it shows just in what we build here everyday, and in all the stories of your lives otherwise. Whatever you face this week, you got this.
Stay up
