6.5? maybe up toward that for flowering never for veg big budda should be ph at 5.8 5.9 for veg its on this site
Strain: Big Buddha Blue Cheese (Fem single)
Growth: Very branchy "christmas tree" structure with many leaves. The leaves have non-over-lapping leaflets.
- 3 clones of the one original mom were vegged until ~14 inches high (concurrently the plants were mature as far as leaflets number and phyllotaxy.) They were put in flowering for 8-9 weeks. No more time was needed.
Nutes: Veg = MG's Organic 8-0-0 (made from sugar beat molasses), more molasses, EWC, tap water, the liquid dechlorinator from the pet store.
Flower = 2-4-1 fish emulsion for early flowering, Alaska MoarBloom 0-10-10 for the rest. Tap water with EWC, the dechlor, and the molasses also.
It should be noted that a version of the "3 little birds" mix as a growing medium. It can be posted if enough people are curious enough (aka 1 person asks).
Yield: ~21 grams per plant, and CFLS were used. It is suspect yield can go up if A. more CFLS are used. B. HID lights are used. C. the sunlight it used.
Bag Appeal: Good lookin', but not the most insane thing. It's green, healthy lookin', and trichs can be seen. Pics will be posted later this week.
Smell: It actually smells like blueberry muffins when it's flowering, and has undertones of blueberry when it's cured. Break open some nugs by hand and not only get sticky hands, but inhale the nice sweet fragrance that escapes. The overtones are more of a mild neo-skunk. None of the musky cheese odor has been detected yet. The blueberry undertones being sort of sweet and musky goes well with skunk-lite smell.
Taste: Tastes like good, clean, smooth smoke. Not too overpowering/expansive, so it may trick you into smoking more when you really don't need anymore. It should be noted the stash being reviewed has been in jars for ~3 weeks after a solid dry got 6-7 days, and then a brown bagging for another 3-4 days....so that's 30 days of drying/curing. I suspect aroma and taste may change a bit after another month jar'd.
The High: Smoke a little, you won't be so angry or sad (not all pot doesn't help me not be angry.) Smoke a joint with friends and everyone will be happy and probably hungry. Smoke some more and you're not gettin' out of that chair/couch unless to bathroom/food/drink. Smoke more and you're out cold; sweet dreams.
I would say it's a great "working-pot" because it's easy to get caught up in all the eating, sitting, laughing, and sleeping.
Comments: It was pretty easy to grow. It roots and clones well. It is easy to over-water. Stretch was minimal, but I'm not sure if that was because they were transplanted right before flowering. I'm goin' to keep runnin' a clone factory on this strain. I like what it does, how it smells, and how it grows. It is leafy so it's sort of a pain in the butt to trim. The trimming comment is the only negative.
