Another thought on Pandora's Box.

After a full 25 days curing, the smell is 100% different than from the harvest. You wouldnt even know it was the same plant. It now smells like a dead skunk and blows up any room when you open the jar. There is no doubt that its dank. The buzz has become more powerful as well. just goes to show...

The second I pulled those plushberries out of the tent, they BOTH fell over and broke at the base of the stalk. I would be absolutely shocked if I didn't pull a 3.5 to 4 off of each plant. I had all intentions of taking full plant shots but just couldnt get them to stand up. I've consistently pulled 3-5 off each plant since installing the digilux bulbs and digi ballasts.

So I just trimmed my first hanger of dry plushberry buds and thought I would share some pics and thoughts.

Upon trimming, a sharp metallic berry odors burned my nose. almost unbearable. As you can see, you simply could not put another trichome anywhere on this bud. The trichomes on the plushberry are the closest thing i've seen to Krome's 'The White' strain. The stems are just covered with raised white trichomes. Magenta hues can be seen mostly on the top buds.

This bud looks and smells VICIOUS.

I anticipated them going a full 8-9 weeks and added super soil accordingly. I knew real early that neither of the 2 were going to go that long. I cloned the one pictured and I think it finished at day 53. This round I am using a tad less super soil to get her to flush a little better. You can see that atleast 40% of the trichomes were dark on both plants by day 53. Probably will take the next one @ day 51 because I personally love buds earlier than later.

After trimming this, I am considering running a full room of this cut. I still have to smoke it first though. Yield looks great, quality looks unmatched, its just hard to believe that it will not smoke accordingly. I'm sure as soon as the summer comes to an end that the colors will turn darker as well.

I'm still sitting on 15 plushberry seeds and have me wondering. I dropped two nice Ace of Spades into flower about 5 days ago. I really can't wait to see what those bring :)

So you're saying the Digilux products made a difference and can ya tell me more about that? Thx in advance.

I used to run the hortilux eye 1000s but after about 150 days or so, I could definitely tell that yields were going down FAST.

You have a very informative thread here, I too am starting to become a TGA fan after running JTR, and Plushberry soon to come.

But you are a salesman. Not that its a bad thing, but you are.

more of a charity worker :) This operation is certainly not for the $$. It's a hobby that I really enjoy. My relatively small setup keeps it easy and interesting.

Just checking in to show you guys some nice Dairy Queen I pulled down last week. Started trimming her this morning. Very sweet fragrant smell. It smells like some feminine bath and body soap or bubble bath. Berries x candy valentine hearts with an initial space funk bite. Not that I want to smell like a chick, but I would certainly buy shampoo that smelled like this. Not sure I get a real cheese smell of of her though. Certainly nothing like the 2 cheese quakes that are blowing the fuck up in the tent right now.

Also, check out the clear domes on this bubble made from trimmings of 4 different TGA strains. Vortex, Flav, Jillybean, and P.Box. Decent bubbles and a pristine hashy sweet dank taste. Skull numbing yet energetic. This is what you want in your pipe.

Finally here :)

Labor Day, a time to set back and enjoy the fruits of your labor.

Sorry these are not the worlds best pictures, i took them in a hurry because I couldn't wait to give her a try.

I tried a chillum for taste and a joint for medical delivery. A joint is the only way i can take down a gram in one setting.

I literally puffed on this joint for 10 minutes before lighting it because the flavor was so nice. Very soft berry smelling. This herb is as smooth as it gets. You can take down a massive hit and feel virtually nothing. Considering I didn't get the flush i was looking for, this is extremely smooth.

After a few tokes I felt very mellow. I don't really have many indica dom. strains in my collection so this is a nice change of pace. The flavor is like a berry fabric softener. Very potent in the body yet mostly clear in the head. I don't feel the urge for a nap from mental exhaustion that I typically get from the sativas.

I can't say for certain if this strain cures cancer or not, but i can say for certain that it will make you forget you are suffering from whatever ails ya. Very medicial strain and very mood lifting.

I couldn't be happier with how it came out :)

Hi again,

I'm about to pull down a Chernobyl and a Qleaner this weekend so I took a few pics for you guys.

Chernobyl stands a bout 5'10 with absolute perfect buds. Besides pulling fan leaves, I do not think this thing will even need to be trimmed. You can really see that JTR shine through by looking at the resined fan leaves. The "Venus Fly Trap" look is very apparent. This one really smells like you took a lime peel over a cheese grater. Buds are medium/heavy density. I really cant wait til this is ready

Qleaner is one of the 2 in my garden at the moment. Both have some of the smallest buds in my garden. I would say partially due to my lack of shaping the plants. One (not pictured yet) is solid purple to the core of the buds. But sometimes like they say, big things come in small packages. I would like to believe that stands true to the Qleaner. Smells of straight up 409 glass cleaner. (the clear blue kind) Really burns the tip of your nose. I'm not going to be worrying about the yield when this stuff is burning in my pipe, that's for sure.

Below are some pics! Enjoy :)

Coming Soon: Reviews of 2 gnarly Cheese Quakes and a massive Agent Orange.
Also, I have 2 Ace of Spades that are starting to pump out the juice. I can already tell you these are going to be some of the craziest plants i've seen.
