Hey Friends,
I would like to conclude this grow with the final smoke report...
Let me begin with Auto Test PA. A tester cultivar we received from
@Antonio_DutchPassion at Dutch Passion.
She was a beauty to grow and behold...With her purple hue and at sometimes almost black flowers, she surely looked the part.
Caressing the flowers released a musky Kush smell with hints of lavender and citrus. These citrus scents went away after curing and what was left over must have been one of the most intense Kush flavors I've smoked until now.
This cultivar grew easy, doesn't require a whole lot of nutrients and show this with her dark leaves as soon as you overdo it. Trimming was a blast as she almost didn't have leaves between the buds.
I did dry her to fast and to far and so the smoke from the buds was harsh at first, but levelled out after two weeks of curing.
She's a good candidate for hash making as she has all the flavors a good hashplant needs to have, with that Kush overwhelming you on the first hit.
I give this cultivar ***/*****. The flavor is spot on and trimming was super easy. If you want to try an Auto cultivar that's so close to the real deal, you must try it out some time.
Next up is the Skywalker Haze. A cultivar I was very curious about when I first came out, just because of the name alone...Go figure
I must have had bad luck with selecting this lady from the three seeds I germinated as she completely went overboard and started to foxtail the sh!t out of those budsites...
She smelled unbelievably like old school Haze to me and smoking her just after drying hit me with that almost overwhelming peper taste. Luckily this toned down over the coming days making room for a bit of lemon and lime.
I get really activated by her, starting up those thought processes inside the brain and giving you excellent idea's.
I also squished some rosin out of her and this really kicked my ass as I was left sitting in my study staring at a blank screen until my wife came to check if everything was ok...LOL
I give this cultivar I grew only ***/*****, but that's because of the foxtailing she did on me. I've seen grows where the buds reach full size colas and I know we are working with live material, but I have to be honest and giving more then three stars would be not be just for this grow.
Finally we come to the end...The love of my life (don't let my missus read this)...White Widow Auto. Me and her go back so far I don't even remember when I had the first hit from her. This Dutch Passion's version is one that comes closest to what my mind remembers and even brought back memories long lost and forgotten. Strange when smells and sounds do those thing, huh...
She's a blast to grow. Has a decent bud to leaf ratio and is
covered in trichomes!!! While trimming I was extra careful not to disturb those trichomes to much.
This cultivar gets ****/***** stars from me. I never hand out five stars as this is perfection and perfection can never be achieved, but for me to hand out more then three stars it must already be a special cultivar and this one fits that bill perfectly! Easy to grow, a great harvest and the high you get from this lady...Oh boy. This was the second grow I did with the White Widow and she'll sure be here again.
I didn't harvest pollen from her this morning as I like this weed in my joints to much, but have a couple of pictures from the two other ladies which went completely into the dry ice.
Regards,
Bob
