Thanks guys! I took a 3 g sample at 56d and another 3g (appx) at 62d flowering. The 56d sample dried, and tasted surprisingly good for lacking a proper cure. Buzz was very heady, euphoric, moderate body stone, and more than adequate pain relief. Trichs were 1/2 cloudy 1/2 clear with a smattering of amber at day 56; about half the pistils are brown. Although the taste is a little green wihout a proper cure, you can't ignore the fruity (can't pick either grapefruit, or other citrus) taste and smell. My camera sucks, but trust me when I say the frost on these buds destroys my best work with snow white.
I've got plenty more pics, but I'm waiting til they are good and done to post a nice grow show of my first hydro attempt. I did flower the mom in soil alongside her clones in hydro. Hydro buds vs soil is LOL funny. Maybe I'm a shitty soil grower, but I don't see myself using it for too much other than walking on and maintaining moms in the future. I have small space constraints, and these clones were grown in 3" net pots and will likely yield about 1+ oz / clone. I have a hard time pulling 2 - 3 oz of the same plant in a 12" pot of soil (with more veg of course). I can't wait to compare the quality, but the soil grown mom is probably going 75-77 days. The hydro is coming down at 68 days.
At 62d, I don't have a smoke report (not dry); but the trichs are nearly all cloudy with about 15% clear, 15% amber and much more swollen (both bigger trichs and bigger buds). Pisitls are 80% brown, and fans leaves are fast yellowing out. I anticipate 100% brown pistils that have been swallowed by the swelling calyxes by harvest time.
I wouldn't (can't wife won't let me) grow this strain again unless I had a much better setup. This is for one reason: Smell!!! These plants smell more in veg than some white strains smell in full flower. My room is not sealed all the time (small space, apartment, etc.). My buddy I got these femmed seeds from asked me the other day how they smelled. I texted back, "I don't need to check the clock to see when my lights are going on and off, they let me know by their smell. It smells really nice and fruity fresh....from down the street. If you touch it, plan on smelling like you fucked a grapefruit that came on you. If you rub it, or spend plenty of time in the room plan on smelling like the grapefruit you just fucked laid a massive turd on your chest that has some curious undertones of fuel." Wifey is none too happy about smelling dank in her purse at work when her purse is never closer than 60 feet from said operation. I run two carbon scrubbers by the way.
Chop chop with chronicals of red diesel. Hopefully be on the lookout for a thread titled, ONE seed, ONE 600W HPS, ONE growing cycle, ONE pound (fingers crossed). Peace...PDC
