Weigh in and initial smoke report
The bad news: I lost several buds to mold/rot. Found them this morning while bucking them down.
Weather in northeast just made the last phase of this grow very difficult. This is first time I’ve had this happen. Big bummer.
So, measured weights are after tossing infected buds in the trash, and shaking out all the loose dry seeds that would fall out of the buds (lots!)
Also, some of the bigger buds are still not as dry as they should be. After bucking them down, they are going in to dry for another day or two. So I expect this to drop a small bit more in weight.
Total weight = 135g (4.8 oz!)
My typical yield from a plant in the 2x2 tent is 2.75-3.0 oz.
The new light probably helped a bit. So did genetics, but I’ve grown a few other heavy yield strains that still did it come close to this.
So I can only say, I think the micro octopot allowed the plant to reach its fullest potential! And I’m really excited about this!
Also, I got plenty of ripe seeds. About 50% are white, underdeveloped. But still plenty good ones to make offspring and tweak the strain, and also to pass some around to OG.
Smoke report
It’s not cured, so not factoring in taste. Only the effects.
It’s a very sativa high. It reminds me a lot of the vibe/feel of the Azad Kashmir. But it’s not racy at all. It’s really great.
But its also much more long lasting than the Kashmir or Lemon Jeffery (other sativa dom I smoke lately) with these, I’m back to baseline about 2 hours after smoking.
But this one… I smoked some early last night, and 4 hours later i was still like ‘damn. I am still really high, and it’s great!’
I think Mango Smile is a star, if you want a sativa autoflower with great yield.
