Ok this will be my last post in this thread, if you have questions I have a subscription to the thread so I will get it and reply. Well the grow didn't go perfect but I did get some killer smoke and I learned a lot.
The plants... well we started with Jilly Bean and Super Lemon Haze. The Jilly did germinate but I think what I know now I would have a successful germ. I was doing paper towel method but the shot glass in dark place for 24 hours with couple drops of H2O2 is the ticket. 100% since I started that, and dont take em out of water until tap root is out about 1/4". Anyways wish I would have had that one with the lemon haze now.
SLH plants are easy to grow pretty forgiving.. since I was pounding them with nutes at the beginning up near 1500-1600 range which is insane now I see. I am at top 800ppm in my current grows and I am sure these plants should have been that low but like troopers they powered through. First off these things are BIG and take a LONG time to finish no doubt do believe that. They don't produce a ton but not a little neither, but what they produce is pretty fine ass smoke. Smooth, crisp hints of lemon. The high is uppity and somewhat paranoid, haven't had the laughing fits cept one time and that was more of a freaky psycho laughing fit. Bong hits are a smooth and pretty potent. Vapor is where the taste is the best at around 410F its crisp and cool, tastes like lemon heads. I guess I was expecting a devastating smoke and not what I got, but it does get you loopy for sure. I was also hoping for a funny, psychotic trippy high but maybe I mistimed harvests or something. Not saying I am disappointed in the least, just saying I have high (no phun) expectations. The smell is amazing lemony, almost too sweet sometimes I want just nasty skunky smell and this is almost like sweet flowerish. Unfortunately its my only herb until I get some others done and I wouldn't recommend it as only strain as it does get over powering lemony sometimes for my tastes and want something different for a couple sessions. SLH broke my grow cherry and finally gave me confidence I can do it, so it will always hold a special place in my heart.
I got 13 quart jars full and a bigger cannister filled with my personal select buds.
I know I did this I think earlier but things I would definitely want to have or do with a stinkbud grow like this.
1. Change reservoir completely 3 weeks max intervals with 24 hour clearex flush in between.
2. Buy a 5 gallon plastic paint mixer attachment for drill to mix nute solution. So much simplified and better mixing.
3. Use Aquashield, Great White and Silica Blast from the beginning.
4. Check the PH and PPM on daily basis to monitor feeding needs of plants.
5. Use superstoners nutrient recipe from beginning.
