The secret to growing in a Phototron is to not follow the directions that came with them..
I turned mine

That I agree with but not a lb it takes space and deep light penetration and good aeration to produce a good useable lb and you can’t get that in one of those small things I can get a lb out of a 4x4 tent s.o.g three plants and that’s doing it all right no problems I truly believe herb can grow in it just the quantity is what I disagree with and with how much it cost and how little it is I don’t see it being effective to produce good amounts

I was a clone only strain whore back in the day..and I've bred/created my own strains for my personal use and giveaways..

Heres my Arcata Trainwreck cross..2 different phenos..

btw, I did not grow this..here's a smoke report on this strain..

Fruity at times but almost always with a smell of acetone to it; sounds strange but it smells really good. The very top of this plants main cola also turned an amazing shade of pinkish purple. This coloring doesn’t show up on any other part of the plant, but it’s super pretty. That portion also smells oddly like strawberries… on to the pics… but my camera took mostly BLURRY shots so I only have two good pics to show of this plant… I’ll post dry shots when they’re ready. We’ll see it that bud can maintain it’s pink color or not… I cut down the super tall one (“Si” I think) last weekend and took some new pics. this was one of the taller ones. I’m excited to try this one. I just smoked some of the plant that had the pink top and the acetone smell: it’s not even fully dry yet, let alone cured, and this one is by far the best one yet. It already has a nice taste and strong high…This plant is a lot more fragrant and seems to be way more flavorful than the shorter bushy plant.

The high is solid; can’t complain about that.

Good luck with your schrecks. The last two plants I cut down were a very similar phenotype, and that’s the pheno to look for. They were both starting to turn purple and they both smelled of acetone/fruit; it’s an unmistakable smell. It’s still curing, but it’s already a home run. It’s so unique; I really like it a lot.

Smoke report on my Matanuska Thunder Head by a member of Overgrow

Initial thoughts…
The first thing that came to mind when scoping this flower out was how oldschool it looked. Nice chunky buds that aren’t extremely tight like modern kushes. The leafiness added to the personally of the buds giving the sense that this one isn’t going to be like everything else I’ve run into around here. I had read that Blockhead was so named cause of its square-shaped flowers and that trait is definitely visible in these. The smell is mild and is something along the lines of cedar/spicy. There is also a good amount of trichomes. Certainly different than what I’m used to seeing… Got to appreciate treats like this in life!

Let’s smoke some!

Taste: The taste is similar to the smell, mild and with ever so slight cedar-like notes in there. I can also taste just a hint of cloves on the back end. Again, think oldschool.
High/Stone: Definently on the indica side (which I expected) comes on gently the first 20 minutes then creeps into a thicker head stone. Very calm body high that gradually morphed into me forgetting the TV remote was in my pocket the whole time while I hunted for it. It isn’t anything immobilizing, more like a couch invitation than a couch lock. Indeed, very relaxing. I have sleep problems and this one seemed to gently lull me to sleep more than strait put the lights out. This would definitely be a good choice for winding down at the end of the day without wanting to pass out right away. At the same time it was easy to get bed after smoking a joint following a bowl, uncommon for strains that aren’t intensely strong for me.
Potency: 6/10 --First, let me explain how this scale works. 10/10 would be one hit and your dropped. I have never experienced this but people swear it’s out there. 1/10 would be something like hemp with zero buzz. 4-5 would be moderate, with 9 being the strongest I’ve had to date. I have a very high tolerance, one puff of this was enough for my girl as she rarely smokes.
Length/Duration 1-2 hours for a bowl, 2-3 for a joint.
Medical? Yes. I could see this being useful for taking the mind off aches and pains, and being conducive to sleep while not forcing it. A good late afternoon into the evening strain.
Negatives? Can’t really see any, maybe the milder smell/taste but that’s personal opinion and I really quite enjoyed the oldschool experience.
Awesome job on this one Phil, it reminds me most of Northern lights but it is really its own thing. I would love to try the original Matunuska Thunder Fuck and do the comparision but no doubt you would too! Those little Phototrons can rip, keep it up!
