Good Afternoon,
All I will say is that I have never heard Doc as exited as he is about this strain. In a phone conversation about it, he sounded as if he had just cracked a secret code and couldn't wait to share.
Here is what Doc had to say about it.....
"We are very, very, excited and proud to announce a 100% new and exciting strain. We've named her Gold Mine because she really is just that, a gold mine, especially for outdoor commercial growers. Gold Mine is very early and incredibly potent. Almost as early as Iranian Autoflower, many times bigger and while Iranian Autoflower is no joke in the potency department, this plant is even more potent; in my opinion, Gold Mine is as potent as Chemo.
Dr. Gruber has agreed to Journal her for us indoors but we'd like to have an outdoor grower do her, perhaps from "down under" or South America, over the winter season here, so growers in Europe and North America can see what she can do before the next outdoor season. Available to the general public soon.
Gold Mine;
100% Indica
Gold mine is an intensely potent, unusual, never seen before, new strain, that works well indoors and out but is going to be an outdoor revolution, just like Iranian Autoflower was in it’s time; a real Gold Mine for outdoor growers
Very sturdy branches with dense buds of large, over-size cola’s, it grows like a candelabra, with long, full, fonds of unusal-looking buds with a unique flower structure unlike anything you've ever seen before.
Goldmine is in the same “auto flower” category as Iranian AutoFlower except it is slightly later and it is a totally different strain. However, it is photoperiod sensitive plant and flowers very early. ZERO Ruderalis
Taste: creamy butterscotch notes.
Potency: VERY Strong and long lasting.
Outdoor Finish: August to early September
Height 4-5 feet
Yield: up two pounds a plant.
Indoors:
Height: 2-4 feet, when flowered at 8-12 inches tall.
4-5 feet when flowered at 18-24 inches
Yield: up to 2 pounds when grown tree style.
Perfect for SOG, or tree style techniques.
Flowering time; @12/hrs light 55-65 days"
His excitement reminds me of these words...
Energy is contagious
Enthusiasm spreads
Tides respond to lunar gravitation
Everything turns in synchronous relation
Laughter is infectious
Excitement goes to my head
Winds are stirred by planets in rotation
Sparks ignite and spread new information
Respond, vibrate, feed back, resonate
Well, I'm definitely feeling the excitement!!!
Also, I cant get this song out of my head....
Info-
I will be running these indoors.....
These were very fresh seeds and Doc warned me the germination rates might be in question.
But, after a slow start, 4 out of 5 germinated.
1 of them is extremely slow so its hard to tell how many i will end up with but I was hoping for 3 good ones.
From these I will eventually pick one to grow tree style and the others i will keep smaller.
