I've got one at about 6 weeks of 12/12. It grew like crazy in veg, despite pH problems I was having that stunted the LA Con I was growing along side. After topping once, I started 12/12 around 24". Not too much stretch- it's about 40" now. It's packing on weight like crazy now so I expect it...
That's quite a list. Staying in those choices, I'd definately include AK-47 and Vortex in the finalists if you like strong highs with a mix of indica and sativa effect. AK-48 gets knocked out because serious seeds AK-47 is better. Never tried strawberry cough but sounds like something Id...
I grew very successfully with about 50W / SF of T5HOs in a 2x2x4.5 grow tent. If you only have 5 feet of working height, T5HOs give you another foot of usable space over HIDs.
That said, I would recommend DNA's fem LA confidential for a nice short indica with very high quality, relatively...
It was very easy to grow and finished right around 9 weeks from 12/12. I grew it in a DWC set-up under T5HO flourescents 50 W / SF. Yeild was very good overall, with huge variation in yeilds between phenos. The plants aren't particularly small though, which is why I grew them under T5HOs (HID...
I've been meaning to do smoke / strain report on this for a couple of weeks but been too lazy. The short story is that is servicable weed good for evening use, but not extraordinary. It has big pheno variation, but all the phenos I got smoked about the same with some variation in berry aroma...
I'm thinking TGA's Pandora's box would be a great meditative strain. Never smoked it myself, but anything that makes you grin like a Cheshire cat can't be bad.
Sorry to take so long to respond. Didn't check my messages. Anyway, to answer your question, I'm in Anchorage. Have been since the sixties, but I didn't turn 18 until the eighties. If you do the math that puts me in my mid 40s now.
I'm thinking of purchasing some of greenthumbs' MTF to see...
I've grown and smoked Nirvana's Blue Mystic. It's a strong indica with a very stoned effect. I haven't smoked more than a small test sample as it is curing, so I don't know what getting really baked will be like, but it's very strong and very smooth even before cure. Wouldn't recommend for...
I tested a sample of some Blue Mystic I harvested last Sunday and was impressed with the strength and smoothness. Very indica effect. I only smoked a small amount (medicinal user) but it pretty much baked me. Not a social weed, but excellent for vegetating, listening to music or napping...
I will say this for Nirvana: The blue Mystic fem seeds appear to be 100% herm free. I abused the plants somewhat and they were stable to the end. Also, I haven't heard of anyone having herm probs with their Nirvana seeds. This makes their fem seeds a great choice for small scale experimental...
I'll post a smoke report after I cut and cure the other two. Want to be able to compare the phenos for quality & yeild.
I did try a bit of the AK 47 I cut down on Saturday. Just about perfect balance of energy and calmness. One solid calyx produced a pleasant body stone with plenty of...
I am just finishing a run of Nirvana Blue Mystic Feminized. The end product looks great but I haven't tried it yet (1 of 3 plants harvested, still drying). I wasn't very impressed with the germ rate or the pheno uniformity though. Out of 5 seeds, two were small and white and didn't germinate...
I whacked down one of my blue mystics on Sunday, so I have no idea what it tastes like, but based on smell, it should be tasty. Have you smoked any BM? What's it like? Did you get wide ranging phenos like I did?
I'll tune in. I've got the same plants in my garden. Going to be interesting to see how the smell of AK combines with BM. Blueberry cheese fart might be a good name.
Not only a great salad, but it provides camaflage for the ferts, lights, etc when daughter gets curious about dads' garden.
The basil went into some awesome pad-kapow cooked by my Thai wife. If you've never eaten thai food when you have the munchies, you're missing out.
My source for weed never had seeds, so I had to buy the first batch. I tested my set-up with lettuce, basil, pepper plants, and tomatoes first though. If you can't get bagseed, try growing some veggies first. It will give you more confidence your first real run.
