Solfire Test Run - Bahama Mama (S1) and Mind Melter

Howdy RIU, it's been a very long while since I have posted on here. I learned so much here and had great fun showing off my stealth grows and 15+ years into growing indoor I am still as hooked as ever. I wanted to just show off some shots from my last harvest as I was fortunate enough to grab some Bahama Mama (S1) right as Solfire dropped a new pack a little while back and got some just before they sold out. The pack came with 6 Bahama Mama (S1), and two 3-Packs of some new crosses that I have yet to germinate.

I also bought some Mind Melter which is Strawberry x Mind Flayer. I germinated 3 Bahama Mama and 3 Mind Melter seeds and unfortunately lost 1 Mind Melter seed early on, probably my fault who knows. So I ended up with 5 plants in a 17gal DWC tote. I butchered them hard in Veg to get as many cuts as possible then threw them right into flower, so the yield wasn't amazing but the finished product sure is!

The Bahama Mamas did not disappoint with their purple colors. I am looking very forward to my next proper grow form the cuttings so I can hopefully get better yields on these. One of the 3 seeds actually had no purple at all and it's actually my favorite tasting of the Bahama Mama bud.

The Mind Melters were amazing and an absolute game changer for me. They bounced back with lots of vigor, grew huge and bushy, and had 25% amber trichs at 56 days from 12/12!! I let them go 64 days even due to having to free up the cabinet for another batch.

And here is what I had left from the harvest after donating about 2oz to friends and family, as well as some finished product shots. Roughly 7oz total. There's an obvious difference in the yield difference between Mind Melter and Bahama Mama overall. I will be doing 6 Mind Melter at some point to see how much of a jungle I can make :)

And this is all the sugar trim we got off the 5 plants. Should make 2 sticks of some med-high potency butter

Let me know what you guys think. I will probably make a post at some point showing my set up. Back in the day I was using fridges and minifridges, closets, etc and ended up building 2 custom cabinets in my garage where I flower. One is 4' x 2' and the other is 5' x 2'. My 2nd bathroom has been converted into a nursery for my cuttings and plants in Veg. So I keep a good crop rotation going using DWC for everything. Thanks for checking out my post!!

Oh yeah SMOKE REPORT hahaha!! Duh....


BAHAMA MAMA
So 2 of the Bahama Mama strains were very purple, so beautiful. Those tasted mush like the reviews I have seen describe them, kind of a "Vanilla spice" tase. Pretty good stuff very powerful high.

The Bahama Mama that was not purple at all tasted like all of your favorite incense smells, if that makes any sense. It reminded me of the first time I ever smoked really great bud with my cousin. I will do what I can to keep this gal in my rotation for some time.

MIND MELTER
The Mind Melters were completely different form each other.

The first one smells very cheesy, almost gross. The taste is good, but not sweet and the high is strong like the Bahama Mama.

The 2nd Mind Melter smells very fruity and has a really strong "strawberry jam" kind of flavor. The high was strong on this one too. It was my favorite by far and fortunately it's also what I have the most of at just over 2oz from one plant.

Overall I was super impressed with all of it considering how butchered they were going into flower. Can't wait to run some more of the Solfire seeds I still have.

beautiful plants, I was very tempted to grab the bahama mama x greasy runtz pack that released last week but unfortunately I have way too many seeds to grow out so I had to force myself to refrain from buying them. Thinking about grabbing the bahama mama s1 in the future and stumbled upon this post, so thank you, you made my decision a lot easier

that strawberry jam pheno you got on the 2nd mind melter is the same terp I have on my red runtz in my tent right now. I believe that same plant was used on both the mind Melter and Exotics red pop crosses.

Thanks guys! Sorry I guess I had notifications off.

I have my 3rd Solfire harvest coming up on the 29th and it is looking amazing. May toss some pics up soon as I have a beautiful Special Kush #1 white label pheno that's looking fat and gorgeous in the mix as well.

That looks great mate, I’ve got a couple packs of mind flyer tucked away. This has moved them a little further up the “to pop next” list.
Nice work!!!
