She’s in Grove bags a week now. Still smelling of Hay/Grass. But not as strong as earlier. Kinda surprised its not all out yet.
Good news is all bags 58-62%
Two weeks out of harvest and verdict still pending further curing in Grove Bag.
At this time Blue Dream still smells grassy, and tastes a bit grassy, as well.
She’s a good hit to the head and temples quickly, and seems fairly potent.
Im really hoping she will come around and get rid of the grassyness in smell and taste.
Skywalker OG pulled for harvest 5/18/24 did 6 full days in Cannatrol and Grove Bags from there.
She was grassy, but now Gassy and spice is coming in nicely… After this weekend, she’ll be a month out of harvest for a 1 week Dry and 3 week Cure.
Steph at work got a Skywalker sample Friday evening. Report back this morning from her is hard-hitting, “must be higher percentage than I’m used to”. Said it made her very mellow.
So thats good!
No trace of grassy in her at all. Wish I could say the same for Blue Dream… Still hopeful.
So, here we are… Two more seeds going in the dirt.

Say hi to Powie Wowie spawn… Powie Pineapple and Powie Poison!
Curious why you don’t start some more seeds, say 3-5, and in a week or two get the plants tested and pick the best female of the batch?
I like to have Farmer Freeman sex tests in my drawer makes it super easy and about a week to find out for sure. You can get tested as soon as soon as the plant has enough leaf matter to support the clipping of 1/2" of leaf tip.
I’d lose my mind over the 50:50 chance of a male. Just me.
Just checking them out right now. I’ll look a little bit more today. Have you had any wrong results with those? That might be a great option! It looks like a set of 10 tests is $120. Not too bad…
I view the cost overall as negligible. I mean, my current grow is $200 in seeds, tent & grow equipment (meters, tools) certainly north of $1000 by now, probably $100 in supplies (media, nutrients). There’s a lot of money overall invested. And far, far more important to me is my time and sanity.
Another $200 turns my $300 for seeds and consumables into $500. Worth it for me. Certainly not for everyone, but it’s an option to save time and have some selection capability without extra space.
Luxury? Sure. I think your situation is one of the perfect places to use it. Start 5 seeds rather than 1, your odds of female become about 97% rather than 50%, AND you are likely going to be able to pick the most vigorous girl of the lot. For $60 in each pot. No extra time, no change in schedule.
I’ve never seen an incorrect result, I think I’ve done over 30 tests
I know this is late to the show, however I wanted you to know that you can use regular 3-5 gallon fabric pots instead of their sleeve. I’ve always felt it was too flimsy. Most fabric pots are sturdier and shorter.
Thanks for the good words! Always apprectiated and love the input!
If somehow, neither of these seeds are female, thats the next step. And then go “Turbo” on them…
Also dont want to waste potential female seeds. If I popped 5 and theyre all female, 3 get tossed out. Limited seeds here. I havent yet gotten to the point of choosing best of batch.
Thats good to know. Gonna hit up the site today or tomorrow and order. Price isnt too terrible.
I really never planned on running regular seeds ever, but these seems pretty cool. Got a couple of regulars in the Veterans giveaway as well as some autoflowers. Got plenty of options, but I can see this being addictive.
FWIW my first and second grow I was afraid of using seeds I didn’t need and worried about using “too many.”
Each seed is going to be a little (or a lot) different. Having more than one female gives you options. Again, it’s a value proposition. Do you want to spend 3-4 months with a runt? The most vigorous one? The stinkiest one? If you only have a single plant you don’t get the choice it’s pure chance.
I’ve learned that there are dramatic differences compared to my expectations. None really bad that I’ve seen but I like the power to pick.
Also, I have acquired more seeds than I could ever reasonably grow just hanging out here. You can too
Another fan of Farmer Freeman here. You can usually stock up on their tests for $10 each during 4/20 and Black Friday sales. I’ve sent many samples, and they’ve never provided an incorrect result. Admittedly I throw out any males, but every plant they’ve said was female, was indeed a lady.
These two “Girls” are looking good on this first Saturday of their short lives. Gonna be really short if theyre sporting the wrong “equipment” during the reveal party…
