I'm smoking a few bits at the moment, I'm at the end of some Pink Grapefruit which gave me a taste for this type, an Orange Bud that's sort of ordinary, it does the job but it's a nothing taste, however one grew as a strange purple phenotype that tastes like a hearty meat broth with fresh garden herbs I can't tell if I like it or not.
But it's my recently harvested Moby Dick XXL Auto, (I only do autos) that addresses the thread topic. This has been a rollercoaster with a surprising finish. She started out like she was going to be the most perfect plant, I'd already decided that she was going to be my first not topped plant, and it was hard to resist many times I want to because she looked like she needed it. Anyhoo long story short, she gradually morphed into a fucking nightmare.
She went into flower and kept throwing branches off branches everywhere and the smell, the pine was so strong it was like pine o clean disinfectant. And fluffy, she was all whips and fluff, but all covered in trichomes. She was also earmarked for juicing and I got a Slug33 for precisely this scenario so I think I outsmarted her.
I pulled everything away from each other as much as I could but it was difficult to tell what was going to be important, like even the main cola was subsumed in a ring of larger colas that came from lower down. Fortunately we had an unseasonably dry spring so with an RH of 45% I was not worried. I went in a few times chopping out larges swathes of stuff. I usually get completely baked before doing this and I let the ganja goddess guide me. I have never hated on a plant so much. Quite a few times earlier on I just wanted to chuck her out, but finally she started chunking up and when it was all over. She turned out to be rather attractive. And yielded 6zips of top shelf fluffy bud, and 6 zips of almost equally good fluffy stuff that's better than or popcorn.
So that was the growing it part. A fucking pain in the arse, totally. Smoking it part: my favourite so far, but it's early stages for me in my twilight boutique autoflower growing phase.
I was not expecting to like the strong pine, but upon vaping even after only a week of curing, the pine was nothing like she smelled raw, this was a warm and complex pine that hit you deep down in your memories, it was a pine with promises of caramel and apricots with cream. The rosin is clear with a taste that is identical to the herb. Oh yeah, she's a nice cerebral high too, but this taste, I don't know what it is but it appeals to me muchly. Look forward to growing another one topped just for the challenge.
