Hey everyone, Lancer here again with a quick update on my tent. The blumats have been dialed in and are working well, all plants seem really healthy so far. The purple rocberries are already showing 2 different distinct phenos. One really exploding with growth, already much bigger than any plant in my tent, giving off a light kushy smell on stem rub. The other showing slightly darker leaves, a little bit of purple tint early on in new growth, but shorter and slower growth. I'm really excited to see how both of these flesh out and will decide which one to make my stud and reverse to generate some pollen. My plan is to hit one of the white grapes that I have growing with that pollen and have a white grape f2 x purple roc berry X cross on my hands that maybe will give the white grape a bit better bud density, as well as a little color. At least that's what I'm hoping for anyway. Big shout out to @jonyoudyer for the canna curate sticker!!!
The 2 solo cups are both rocbud plants. The smaller is an autoflower mix, not sure what it will grow into, and the bigger one is another purple rocberry x, both for the Brothers in Farms solo cup grow off.
Smoke report on 3 week cure of white grape f2:
Smoked out of chillum, made by cowboy glass, maybe 2 inches in length. On breakdown, nose is very citrusy, slight grapieness coming back, and a bit of pine. On hit, very smooth, even through a dry pipe (hopefully this means I got the RH right on the cure and bud.) Initial taste is citrusy and earthy on hit, exhale is pretty much more of the same. Effects for me seem to start at top of my head/temples, and slowly spreads to the rest of my body. Very cerebral. Potency seems to be up there, as a hit or two will make a fairly seasoned every day smoker like myself very stoned. I'm not sure if anyone has ever sent a sample out to a lab to get tested, but wouldn't be surprised if it's hitting mid 20s for thc %. I'm not really here to jerk myself off and say this is the best weed I've ever smoked as I feel like I'm a bit too attached to it to be unbiased, but I'll try to be as unbiased as I can. Final thoughts is that this is fairly strong weed, taste isn't bad, but I feel like could be better? I'm hoping it'll get better the longer I cure, but I'm not sure if I can really hold out that much longer. I have a lot more things to learn and maybe the taste is due to my drying/curing. Maybe I'll have the same pheno this time around again, and can see how it is the second run.
