SeedBank :
Dr. Greenthumb...kinda shady to make a phone order to who knows where with credit card information, but everything was shipped discretely and quickly.
Strain:
Iranian Autoflower - Apparently this is an S1 from an original clone...basically a landrace indica variety that has been selected to flower early, but...(see below)
Did it autoflower?:
...it is not a true autoflower. I vegged her for about 6 weeks then flipped the lights to 12/12 and she IMMEDIATELY threw out pistils...like within a few hours. She was completely finished by about day 45 of flowering, so she's a very early variety, but by no means an autoflower.
Soil/hydro:
HF with lime amendment.
Nutes:
GO Box nutes and EWC/Guano teas
Light (kind and schedule):
At first 150w SunSystems HPS, then I added a 240W Blackstar LED to the mix, so she had plenty of lighting.
From seed to harvest date:
About 12-13 weeks, but she was vegged a little too long.
Dry Yeid: (| 40g |)g
I had 1 very large plant, 1 medium plant, and 1 small as hell plant. The large and small yielded 25g together. I'm expecting another 15 from the medium plant (still drying) so probably about 40g total...they were my first grow and I really stunted the heck out of them.
High/Effect Duration (how long did effects last):
A very "awake" body stone that lasts about an hour and a half. This is an absolute creeper, takes 15 minutes to 30 minutes to really feel the effects, and at that point it's a little confusing because you realize out of nowhere that you're high. A little bit of loss of coordination is also present, and I would not recommend this for someone who has to function normally throughout the day.
In-depth
RATE SCALE: * bad to ***** good
Bag Appeal:***
Light buds...my fault, but they are very airy and wispy. My grow skills have improved since I popped these beans, so I'm just chalking it up as a learning experience.
THE GROWth: ***
A little finicky with the nutes, plus she was VERY sensitive to pH problems (unlike the PJEM I grew alongside her). I topped the 2 larger plants and one of them grew a dominant main cola...kinda intersting. The tiny plant only had 3 leaves per stem, not a single cannabis shaped leaf on her.
THE SMELL:***
Again, not great...very complex and piney, hint of solvent, very much a "wood" flavored smoke. I've had her in the jar for about 8 days, not very impressed so far for an indica. Maybe she needs another month or so...
THE SMOKE: **
Harsh. See above...
THE HiGH: **
I'm just not in love with her. It gets you high, but it's not really tons of fun. There's no happiness to it, it's more of just a feeling. I'm also not in love with the crystal production, I'm not sure I'm going to get much of anything out of the trim/popcorn buds for making bubble...I'm willing to call all of this "user error" at this point. Maybe after I finish some more grows I'll come back to her and see if I can't do a better job next time.
Pictures are of the 25g pile of buds getting a breather from their jar and a pic of my Purple AK-47 Autoflower (Mossy's). She's about a week to 10 days out, going to let her absolutely go to the very last possible second, keeping a strict eye out for botrytis...I wanna sample her at her absolute ripest.
