Yesterday I took down my Iced grapefruit. I would have done a montage of her finished, but I just think she turned ugly on me, and wasn't worth the time setting it all up to do the shoot. I will say this about her though, her flowers are gorgeous to look at, and smell. Oh my gosh my room smelled like a box of fruity pebbles was raped by a box of chewy sprees. I know that's kind of dramatic, but I wanted you to think about it for a minute. It really is a wonderful smell, and if the rest of the strain smell like this I'll have to keep some of these genetics around for sure. The flower density is something to be geared about as they're so frosty as well, with a nice trichome sheen to them. I wanted to save the scissor hash until I was writing this report, and am smoking it now. All I can say is sweet, sugary, candy goodness! With a PUNCH! I do mean PUNCH! What a nice effect after such a sweet, beautiful flavor. I'm so glad I grew this plant now, after the trim last night(which I somehow got out of) and the toke this morning, I'm keeping this girl around for a while. This is gonna be some great smoke for my daily walks on the river, and going through the park. Yeah I like this stuff. I'm going to find out when I had to take off that little bit of that top because I would say it has gotten twice as strong since then, quite incredible. My Menage a Trois is also telling me she's ready, and wanting a cut soon. Her trichs, what there are of them are pretty much all mature, and her pistils are dieing and receding fast. She has all the signs of needing to be chopped. That leaves alot of room in my tent as i didn't replace the Skunk#1 or the Iced Grapefruit yet. Hmmm, what should I put in there now? Maybe a Green Poison or some Cindy99? I''l get another plant in there today and let you guys know, but I think you already do. Anyways enough of the goofy mystery crap, how about some photos?
The first couple of pics are some Iced Grapefruit flowers getting dried.
Just a couple pics of a couple flowers. I think it was almost as heavy as my Skunk#1 harvest which had alot more branches and buds. The Iced grapefruit's branches and buds were just bigger, and a little more dense as well. I'm not getting into who's frostier, or better smoking as I've never had Iced Grapefruit cured, yet. The next pics are the Menage a Trois.
She's a nice looking plant with alot of good qualities, unfortunately being super frosty isn't one of them. I'm sure it's a pheno thing as I've seen pics of this strain very purple, and frosty. You can see a little about the vague color of purple or pink she has in her pistils that I was trying to describe earlier on in my posts about her. i had the temps down around 66-68 degrees some nights and never was very successful at bringing out much color from her. That's not a huge concern of mine, but it's nice, and adds beauty as well. I never worry about "bag appeal", as none of my flowers will ever see a "bag". The last couple of pictures are of the Blue O.G., and the Sour Blueberry, and also the group that's in there now. I don't know what I'll do with the thread as I only have one plant left that's in the title. This might be a dumb question, but can you re-name a thread somehow?
This is my Sour Blueberry. I flipped her on 7-3, 21 days ago. She's filling in really nice, and the density is something as well. She has a nice scent to her, and it's quite strong too. I put my Blue O.G. in here before her and she's doing a little better so far. I do have to say though, the Blue O.G. has more tops on her so I wouldn't expect them to be huge already as she's supplying alot of food to alot more places.
As you can see this girl is a friggin bush. Anybody growing this strain please listen to me when I say she's a cal/mg whore! Every time I don't give her a full teaspoon of epsoms, she gets mad and starts to show signs of needing it, and that's with G.O. cal/mg every time as well. I've never seen a plant eat Mg like that, pretty nuts if you ask me. I know a plants needs for Mg go up when they start to flower, but this one still surprises me with the amount it takes to keep her happy. Alright everyone I better get to my chores. Have a great day people, as it's cool, sunny, and beautiful where I am, and I'm going for a nice long walk today, and smoking a phat cone while I do it. I'm gonna wait and let this trim actually cure some, not just dry before I blast it for oil, as advised from Mad Hamish. So I have free time today to enjoy! Have a blessed day everyone. Peace and Love.
