nl#5 from highgrade-seeds

OK, 1st smoke report, prior experience has always been bag weed, so comparing to what I've had before.

Strain: nl#5 from highgrade-seeds
Growth: soil MG Organic Garden + 10% perlite
Nutes: 1 tbsp dolomite + 1 tbsp MG Organic Meal per gallon soil
molasses/bonemeal tea for ferts during flowering
Yield: 35 grams under 3 26w cfls - micro grow
Bag Appeal: 8 - quite sticky looking
Smell: 9 - sharp pine odor - quite potent
Taste: 8 - used vaporizer - light pine - very nice
The High: 9 - very potent weed - wouldn't advise smoking a whole joint by yourself
Comments: Like many others who have sampled this famous strain, I was impressed with the strength of this one.
A real creeper stone, builds for a good half hour. A very relaxed and big smile high. Sit you down
quite comfortably in the chair(or couch). I harvested with trics just showing the 1st signs of amber,
so was able to function for several hours. Slept very nicely after that. Perhaps a bit of pain relief
but not dramatic. I would call it good for anxiety, no racy thoughts.
But one thing I really liked was the 'clean-ness' of the high. A very smooth, gentle transition down,
no unpleasant feelings of any kind. Organic grow may be partly responsible?
This bud was air dried for a week. Just a tiny popcorn that didn't seem worth putting in a cure jar.

Good grow, good report, good luck on the re-veg.

hey growone,
excellent smoke report, I'd like to say when I grew this strain a couple years ago,
it's exactly as you described it, although I went through a different breeder/seedbank.
It's just now I realized you went through highgradeseeds.

My question is what seeds did you get for free?, they say you get some freebies------
PS:if you said in one of your journals, I missed it

interesting on your experience with the strain, a see a few that seemed to have poor results from various breeders, i guess i see that with reports on every strain

highgrade will put 2 or 3 free seeds on top of every 10 seed order, but they will be the same strain that you ordered

should have included the pix in original post, slipped my mind
plant was grown under 78w(3 26w) cfl's

what that grow in a grow box or a pc case... and how tall was it when you harvested

great to hear someone got some good from my log
what breeder is your seed from?

i got them from vancouver seed bank. this was my very first grow and i attempted to germinate them but failed when they dried up over night lol, so i was gonna toss them and buy more but i decided to try again with a different method a few months later, and overnight i had ten sprouted! was pretty impressed lol, i thought for sure they were garbage after the first germination attempt! All 10 grew to about 4 inches tall, then i had to transplant into bigger pots and kinda killed 2 of them by being to rough on the roots.....but the rest bounced back fine! i have 4 females for sure and the rest i cant tell yet. getting very stoked now though lol

It's been about a month or so since my initial smoke report.
I thought a follow up would be a good idea. Weed has 2 faces,
the 1st few times you smoke it, and the feeling you get after
a few weeks.

Tolerance hasn't seemed to build too much, some, but not much.
This bud was cut with the 1st amber showing, was kind of looking
to see if I could get a sativa from an indica, and was also wary
of getting a couch lock which really meant pass out.

I can say the popcorn bud is not really far away from a sativa.
I can puff this in the afternoon, and function quite nicely.

Now the more mature bud is a different beast. It really has a wicked
head rush. This is really the express elevator. Bit more head rush
than I like. if you like a strong head rush, this weed's for you. The
way up head is good for about an hour or so. Then you ease into the body.
And it's a pretty fine body. This part I like.

So for me, the next grow will be a fair more amber. Not 50%, maybe
the 20% zone. I can still say that I'm satisfied with my 1st indoor
grow, but I think I can do a bit better on the 2nd.
