Holy Grail Kush: Real Deal or Bullshit Hype

Last year I grew three of them. I didn't take care of them like I should have though and left them in small pots. Even with abuse, I didn't think it was a bad smoke at all. I can't compare flavors or judge phenos because I have not seen that many strains grown. maybe only like 6. This year there is one left and she is out and looks good so far. Maybe a little puny but I am going to guard her with my life and baby her to see what she does under the best of the sun and worms. After everything I've read on here being so varied, I am very curious.

For starters, the smell is insane and penetrating....a hard one to trim for sure. Grows are stretchy and tall, big sticky colas, very dense, good producer(for an OG), difficult to clone, and a big appetite. The flavor is fresh and too smooth for the high that it brings creeping up on you. A sedating and long lasting narcotic effect I wouldn't recommend for mornings. Bag appeal is solid.....everybody loves golf balls. Overall, it is a worthy opponent both growing and smoking and hiding that funk.

Alright guys got 2 days left before the chop on my hgk. I got 4 that just reek of diesel chem to the max. I have one that is more mellow smelling with shit tons of pistils. 50% more pistils than other hgk plants. This one also looks like its going to be a week longer before I chop it. Wonder which pheno it is?. This shit is ridiculous smelling. Took a tester sample nug. Quick dried it. Man oh man. This shit is going to be the fucking holy grail. Got some bad news though. My cloner has been acting up and haven't been able to clone the phenos I want of the hgk. So I think what I'm going to do is not completely harvest 2 of my girls. Basically leave all the small buds and foliage on the lower part of plants and put back in the veg room. I'm going to wait for bout 4 to 5 weeks and take some clones once these girls get referred. How does this plan sound. Chime in in before the chop. T-minus 57 hours before , Timberrrr!!!

So she is hard to clone? Kinda seems that way to me. Please give some feedback.

HGK roots very slowly. My girls always look like their frozen/stunted for 2 weeks, somethimes a little more after transplanting.

il post some pics when the lights kick on but I'm takin one tonight that i never was really able to feed enough! when i first get a strain i always lean on the light side of my feeding regimen and tune it up for each strain as they ask for more. well she just kept asking for MORE AND MORE or my ph was off but the buds are HUGE and stinky and beautiful so I'm leaning on underfed.

Attitude says new filters are recommended and i bought 2 new ones... still wasn't enough waiting on a BIG ONE right now hopefully that will do it >.<

She's a keeper!

I did have a few wieners down low in the underbud area of the plant. I left my door open a few times so I'm sure it was light stress that made it herm. i also run a 13 hour bud cycle and that could have something to do with it.

about 10 days ago i thought to myself "well this plants about done" it quit putting on bud mass and was just startin to show ambers, we as of 2 days ago all the buds "Swelled" and started getting spiky and growin fingers. i took that plant before it had a major effect but I'm pretty sure I'm gonna have micro seeds in some of it i dug a few out when i was trimming from the underbuds.

Now heres a question Did my yield go up cause she finally got some wiener? it might just be me but i think she started smelling different too after the "incident"

And I've heard theres herm issues with some of the genetics in HGK and if thats the case then LAME. but I'm sure it was my fault i left the door open like 7 times I'm sure tthats enough to cause herms. after another run or 2 i should know wether it was me or not.

I'm finding hgk to be a little touchy when it comes to cloning. Anyone with same experiences. I picked 2 girls that were nothing but skunky diesel golf balls. I harvested but left the small popcorn and foliage. Both are back in the veg room. I'm gonna get some good clones damnit!

This is a new question of mine. I thought about getting some kosher but would I be wasting my money since I already have hgk. Are they similar or is one more potent than the other. Inquiring minds want to know.

I just tested the kosher vs the holy grail yesterday. there is a great grower in flint with some excellent "joo kush" he calls it lol. i sat down with 2 grams of the kosher and some of my holy grail and there a little different but not by a lot. holy grail honestly tastes like go 18 with some kosher kush on top (my first pheno anyway)

depending on what you want out of your garden Diversity, movability, greenpeen. but id say they are pretty similar but pretty different if your a hardcore connoisseur. i don't think il bring kosher into my garden i wanna try out some other strains. if i could get the cutting from flint tho ya id run it for sure. so ya its like that i guess I'm not gonna take the time or work to pop the beans but if i had a good cutting id give it a rip.

And as for the cloning ya its kinda a pain first ones I've had die at this house. i got a bunch of the buds to clone on it tho thats pretty cool. and one of my phenos is hollow stem big time too thats the one i had 6 outa 9 die b4 they rooted.
