I have both of these waiting in the wings for my next grow.... so I'm interested too!!! Pretty much everything Sannie offers is fire so that doesnt concern me.... would love to hear about their growing characteristics tho~
second attempt at growing mad scie.
first attempt= 2x mad shack fem
2x mad scientist fem
2x kill fields f2 reg
2x skunk fem. tried these out in organic grow, potting mix from local hardware. All got nutrient lock out so they all got turfed.
Now this second grow consists of 2x mad scientist fem seed and
2 x blueberry clones gifted
am growing in a recycle system using expanded clay(LECA), pot and collander system with half hourly waterings for half hour at a time.
600 watt hps with cool tube, 1.2m x 1.2m x 2m room. extractor fan, inlet fan, cool tube fan, oscilating fan in room.
they are at about day 30 now of flower so that is just over 4 weeks, the mad scientist shows female flower at about 17 days in, the flowers are dense compact and although seem to start slow develop into tightly formed golf ball sized flowers by 4 weeks. Very sticky to touch with trichome development already visible. The smell is beautiful like lemon candy,(what i said as soon as I smelt) i've been growing 20n years and mad scie. has to be one of the most appetising scents I have smelt. New and different a definite winner.
I tip at week 1 flower and this has resulted in even spread of flowers. The plant has a small tight structure with very strong branching to support. The flowers are evenly spaced but only seperated by 2-3 inches at most between internodal gaps. makes me think the whole plant will be near on covered with flower if growth continues. Leaving very little of the stem to be seen eventually I hope. Large leaves need tucking under, light green colouration to whole plant. 1 of 2 mad scie. showed yellowing and viening so I added some epsom saltys and some azomite.
Managing fine without any problem, I just hope they continue.
Compared to blueberry clones the mad scientist flower is not as widespread but are twice the diameter of bb.
I have managed to clone at week 1 of flower and it has take 17-20 days for root development. Using rockwool rooting powder under twin fluoro light grolux.1ml p litre grow nutes 1 part.
I can see and smell that mad scientist is a neccesity for keen gardeners. I imagine this to be more potent than the killing fields just from looking at it you can see/smell the power she holds! Although very beautifull smelling I have not noticed an overly strong odour, after lights on and off there is a period of up to an hour where can be smelt inside. I dunno how the neighbours are going? I try not to handle or view in this period.
Overall MAD SCIENTIST are strong, squat, thick, stocky style of plant, growing thick rounded white bud with a sweet lemon candy scent. coped well with tipping and is handling training through a net for support. Grew for 4 weeks under 400hps before flower under 600hps for 8-9 wks.
i hope this is some help

will try to take some pics and post up.keep eye out.
