anybody from cali
what old school gear are you referring to?kickass grow Man.....im diggin all the old skewl gear
I need to post some pictures of my girls to compare. I have two small kings that were thrown into flower from clone that seem promising. The smell of mine is a sour grape smell with hints of fuel overtones. Haven't had a chance to try it yet but from what it looks like it seems to be fantastic. As far as my strawberry cou goes, that baby is a WEED! I am not sure about yours but mine is such a vigorous grower. The buds so far are starting to develop but compared to my Williams wonder, and Kushberry, even being in early flower, doesn't show the same trichrome production. I hope this changes. Just hit my 3Rd week in flower so we have a LNG ways to goupdate:
Fed the Acapulco Gold today. its 66 days flowering. supposed to be a 70-75 day strain but looks like it will take longer than that. some pistils have JUST RECENTLY (last week or so) starting showing brown pistils and there are many hairs that havent grown back inward to the bud (which usually happens close to harvest). i'll have to check with my microscope but im gonna guess its not ready. im guess is its closer to 85 days but we'll see.
Ive smoked some OS#1 and Strawberry Cough over the last wk or so and thought people may care to hear how they smoke.
OS#1: very mellow high...good 50/50 head/body high. a "best of both worlds" type of high but not extremely powerful (only 8% thc i believe) still very good. nice smoke for the day or night imo. tingly body especially legs. nice buzz. Smell is skunky/musty with slightly sweet undertones. pretty much as advertised. im glad the breeders description was accurate (i hate it when they lie). even the picture they used on attitude looked similar to mine. i'll probably grow this again. havent had such a well rounded high in a while. its a bit of a creeper.
Strawberry Cough: we have a winner! i can't say enough great things about this strain. Great for daytime. No strawberry smell, taste, etc (even after coughing after a hit like some claim). so that was a let down. however high-wise it was fantastic. very anti-anxiety which is impressive to me as i have a hard time finding ones that have that effect on me. Its the perfect strain to smoke and still work/get stuff done. its not racy at all so doing things like sitting at an office chair for a few hours isn't a problem. the high tends to make tasks seem slightly more interesting. so imo its good. it relaxes your brain/worries like an indica does your body. something ive been seeking a long time. its a pain in the ass to trim though (be warned) as its leaves are EXTREMELY tiny and there are lots of them! it has TONS of bag appeal (or in my case jar appeal) with nothing but orange/reddish pistils all over. its the most distinctive looking buds of everything ive harvested so far. you can tell SC buds apart from the rest.
I can totally see why the SC is priced how it is. i think its worth it for people who really want a good day time high (and for anxiety for those who need it)
I think the original skunk #1 from seedsman is a steal! for only like $8 you get a fantastic plant.
i say both r worth growing.
So far the only buds im not really impressed with is King's Kush. it was a runt...horrible smell and a high thats easy to forget.
the sensi star is a good indica. very strong (90% indica over 20% thc). you only need 1-2 hits to get high and 3 to get STONED in most cases. if you have a bong 1 bowl will pretty much land you on the couch for 2 hrs give or take...munchies (not major though)...lazyness...relaxation. worth growing!
the critical+ is very good. a great choice for commercial/for profit growers as its a massive yielder (big bud x skunk). buds smell strong skunky sweet and fruity all at once. very pleasing on the nose. best smelling plant of the bunch. the smoke is potent. mostly heady but some indica features come through (not as balanced of a high as my OS#1...definitely more heady). can be a rush/racy high especially during the onset. its kinda like the sensi star just sativa in effect. its not as indica as described at all but it everything else was accurate. i believe i have a perfect 50/50 of big bud and skunk. the buds look like big bud buds (say that 5x's fast) and the high is more towards the sativa side of the skunk high. im willing to bet the skunk used by dinafem was probably a satvia dom version. Its my biggest yielder so far (haven't weighted anything...just by the naked eye its easy to tell i have the most of it)
anyway enough of my high late night ramblings. hope my descriptions will help someone out there decide to buy (or not buy) these strains to try for themselves.
Im very happy with my strain selections for this grow. the only way i could be happier is if i didnt grow out the KK. i have yet to sample the AG. it looks like i be a 2-3 1/2 weeks out from harvest. we'll see.
since i already started smoking my buds i decided to weigh out how much i smoke each time and write it down. once i finish my trimming i'll weigh up everything i have and add what i have written down to get my final yield so it will be awhile before i have those numbers.
im interested to see what i end up with in the end.
the trimming is taking forever and my hands hurt so this is the end of the update lol. sorry no pics today.
sounds like you got a good King's Kush. i may try that one again and hope for a good pheno. hoping this was just an isolated incident.I need to post some pictures of my girls to compare.

That is good to know about the SC. I was getting pretty skeptical lol. Hopefully the kings turns out good...it sure is promising at this stage. I got mine from clone up in northern Cali...suppose to be kushmans cut so I hope to get that taste. My chocolope is the same as your aculpulco, very very vigorous grower! My strongest meds is probably the Kushberry or la con from DNA...super frosty buds, easy to grow and packs a mighty punch. Only thing is the KB give you munches that are out of this world!sounds like you got a good King's Kush. i may try that one again and hope for a good pheno. hoping this was just an isolated incident.
My Strawberry cough was a vigorous grower...the only plant that grew more vigorously in veg was the Acapulco Gold but im sure being 90-95% sativa had something to do with it.
My strawberry cough wasn't a big trich producer either. no fear though the bud came out as advertised. the SC is something i will grow again...hopefully next time i can get a strawberry scent or the strawberry taste when you cough on the smoke. the SC is a pretty smooth smoke so idk how likely that is. lol
my hardest hitter is probably the Sensi Star. that stuff will make you choke. lol
ty for the kushberry info (munchies) i been looking for something good for food/munchies. i like smoking buds that not only make me hungry but make food taste better. love it.That is good to know about the SC.
