Final Grow Report And smoke report
1. Hybrid Tested: Mendo montage f2
2. Germ Rate: Out of 14 in the original pack 10 germed. During germination the runts never made it, simply just crapped out. Out of the remaining plants 4 females were observed. All remaining plants were males. Some i might add, looked very nice. I still have one alive as well.
3. Vegetative Growth: Aside from the runts that did not survive germination. All Remaining plants both male and female displayed uniform structure and appearance. Growth was rapid and plants took well to a good bit of nitrogen. Very Green and lush growth. Very tight internodal spacing some more "stacked" than others, but either way impressive. A four to five week vegg cycle is all that is required for substantial yields in the proper environment.
4. Flower Growth: All pheno's except my purp's dominate keeper easily doubled in size by week 3. After the initial stretch Bud production is rapid. This is soon accompanied by prolific terpene production. The aroma's are heavenly and that's certainly an understatement! At around week six one could witness the bud's swell quite a bit. If they would have been topped and trained she would be quite the heavy yeilder. In fact, on one pheno the bud production is so prolific, one must be careful to avoid bud rot. Very dense and heavy nugs! She's seems to be generally able to really take on the nutes, specifically phosphorus, perhaps explaining such heavy bud production. Total flowering time on all pheno's was right around 8 weeks. All were harvested between 56-60 days. Even all the lowers had some real mass to 'em. Maybe due to those 1000 watters, but still very solid. Also, Rich colors were observed all throughout flower cycle. Temps were consistently in the 75-82 range the whole time. In spite of this pinks and purples were observed, not just some leaves of just a tinge here and there, no this is though and though color. Very impressive, perfect for sog inmho!
5. Finished Product: This Bud is seriously a great strain! It really possesses some amazing aroma and color. Taste is dependent on pheno to a degree, but generally she is a berry flavored candy queen. Heavy Grape kool aid "grape drank" mixed with a bit of rock candy. After drying It's taken on all sugar tasted, but with a heavy indica musk to it. Almost earthy incense aroma. I suspect this bud will need some time to cure to realize its optimum flavor and effect. Potency is there, Typical indica like affects. However, at this time the cure is not completed, so I cant comment fully on this. Just an initial impression...
6.Would I recommend this strain to someone else?And, would I grow it again?
Yes and Yes, I would very impressive genetics from seed. In a single pack you WILL find a keeper. Variation is apparent, but minimal in this strain. I feel the most desirable traits of both parents show in these f2's. Very sexually stable too, not one nanner observed, not one seed found! I currently have clones of all female pheno's from this run. And yes, I do plan on running her again. After this, I will make a final determination on the final keeper.
7. Miscellaneous: All I have to say, is this strain was more than worth the time put in. Solid and very stable, not to mention colorful and flavorful. Definitely worth anyone's time! And once again, Thanks to the Gaga Green Team for the opportunity here. Really pleased with the results and the community. And I look forward to all future endeavors.
8. Smoke Report: This bud tastes alot like it smells. Super sweet with a bit of incense and dirt. Typical indica high, but very potent. Good for patients with insomnia or anxiety, no doubt. Still waiting on my last girl to finish this week. That one should be amazing.
Here's a few pics of the keeper, she will be done in a week. Enjoy
