Fem. Seeds.
Did notice it took higher temps. to get this strain to sprout, at least for me and I normally have a 99% germ rate.
Strain: Acapulco Gold photo plant
Christmas Tree shaped plant. I had to LST this one, so total height is off, but around 5'. Also had to tie her up to bring the branches up to my T5 lighting.
Did it autoflower?: No
This strain was chosen by myself, and my intentions are to make it an Auto Strain. When this is done, the new Auto Strain will be called "Auto-Pulco Gold. The cross and the seeds are done. 12-17-2011
Soil/hydro: Fox Farms Ocean Forest
Just a quick note on the soil: I have found this soil to contain gnat larva. But, and I'll say it again, But, with one dose of finely crushed up mosquito larva killer, prior to putting in the plants, takes care of this problem. I love this soil. The PH is already there. You just have to maintain it :thumbs:

Light: T5 HO 8 bulb Fixture 432 watts and supplemented with a TT-105 4 bulb fixture with 420 watts
Both lights were using a bloom spectrum of 2900K
Plant was on 20/4 light for 14 days and then 12/12 from then on
From seed to harvest date: Minus the 14 days of veg. She flowered for 9 weeks
But she was ready in 7 or so. I had pollinated certain branches and was making sure my new seeds finished up
Dry Yeid: ( 157 )g
Now I know this isn't a killer yield, but bud to leaf ratio was the best I've seen in a plant. Plus 2/3 of the buds were nice and fat/tight Also remember, I used basically only T5 HO lighting..
High/Effect Duration (how long did effects last): Gotta say, not for the new smoker...I would also not recommend driving while taking a hit. On exhale, this stuff leaves you mind locked/melted. But when you come back to reality, it's a good cerebral high. Energetic even. Thought provoking.
As far as the duration, I smoke morning, noon, and twice in the evening. Just my routine. But I also mostly smoke hitters. So it only takes 3 hitters, smoked gradually, and your wasted...
In-depth
RATE SCALE: * bad to ***** good: Would give this strain an 8 out of 10
Bag Appeal: * to ***** Great
With nice fat hard buds, this looks great to anybody in a bag, in your hand, it's just got that look....
THE GROWth: * to ***** All levels of experience. Maybe not a newbie/first timer though.
She was a breeze to grow. Except her height. A bit tall for my grow lights. Not my space....
THE SMELL: * to *****Makes you want to shove you nose right through the jar
Kinda has a piney/musky scent after the cure. Growing, now she smelled like a lemon. But that left after the cure. Pleasant to smell. Sorry, I'm bad with smells.
THE SMOKE: * to ***** 10 out of 10
She's a pleasure to smoke. Not harsh on the lungs and expands well in the lungs. Course this was grow Organically
THE HiGH: * to *****8 out of 10
I didn't give it a 10 for 10 here because of the very strong brain lock on exhale.
Would grow this strain again. And that say's a lot for me..

But I'm done with the photo's for awhile. Got plenty of auto strains that need worked on. At least to F-2. I'm trying the F-1 seeds now. Have 4 germing...Auto-Pulco Gold...
