My Gelato 41 plant from this round is tiny, might get a ounce or two off it, but that's my fault for letting it get root-bound in a solo cup to the point it started autoflowering, then it had to reveg for like two weeks and I couldn't hold off flowering any longer so I put it on top of a 5 gallon bucket and let it ride. Seems to be a slower veg like the MAC, but it REEKS something legendary. My GRCXBBC keeper from seed has always been the dankest smelling strain in my library and the one my friends seem to love the most, but this G41 might take the cake for nose. I just chopped it, so we shall see! The live resin is stronger than anything I have ever smelled.
The SFV is right up there too and for some reason the one I have under my year old HLG 320 QB stinks more than the one under the Mars Hydro FCE6500. I think it has something to do with the 3500k spectrum? Just makes everything smell more intense.
The SLSMAC is one of, if not the frostiest strain in my library right now. My god. I don't wash, but if I did, I bet yields would be 20-30%. It's right up there with my IGH Tart Pops keeper that basically turns white. The smell on this one reminds me so much of the MAC I got from AJ a while ago, which I am still running because the freaking nose is so in your face, despite its bland visuals. I call MAC greasy, because the trichs just melt on your fingers like oil when you touch the live resin, and this strain does exactly the same thing. It's pure grease with a hint more lemon.
I am not sold on the Skywalker just yet. Yield, nose and trich coverage seem to be quite a bit less than the SFV, but I have seen reports the Skywalker needs a full 10 weeks, and to my eye, it doesn't look finished, so I am going to let it go on for a bit longer and make my final call after 2-3 more runs of it. I will probably up the nutes next round bc I've read it's a heavy feeder, so perhaps 2.0EC in my blumat rez just isn't enough? I will experiment and find out!
AF is AF, People freaking love it. I love it for daytime when I wanna be lifted and have shit to do, but otherwise, my friends can have all of it they want lol. And this most recent batch is the best I've ever grown it. It looked good on the 1st run, ok on the 2nd, and this 3rd run is PRIMO. Lots of purple with the cool temps. I am running one tent 85 light on and letting it get down to 45 lights off and the AF and Runtz are absolutely thriving in those conditions.
I am going to run an SFV all organic in Coast of Maine Stonington Blend and just top dress every few weeks and beside it I will flower an SFV with a blumat rez fed @2.0EC like usual. I have never seen anyone do a side-by-side like this, so ima do it myself.
@70DAZE on IG ig you wanna check it out. It'll be about a month or two out.
Happy Sunday everybody!
