Pine Tar Kush and Headband x Bubblegum are Chopped and drying. Looking like they'll be mostly for dry ice/bubble hash, while Dread Bread and Ave will be for smokable flower.
The Dread Breads are awaiting a final trim before going in to grove bags. Super strong acrid/sour + citrus/mango nose and flavor. Great sandy resin, shoukd make excellent quality bubble hash. Solid hybrid effects, moderate pain relief and good mood/focus enhancement without being speedy.
Ave of the Giants is probably the best I've grown so far! Gas and Overripe Berry scents make people say 'goddam gimme some of that' when I crack a jar, and the flavor translates. I think that's the main quality difference I see between photos and autos: the smell+flavor translation (though my dry process has been over 10 days this time which could be the reason) I think maybe the longer veg/flower times allows the plant to make less Volatile forms of terpenes and cannabinoids, but who really knows.
Sorry I've been inactive for awhile, definitely ready for a break from growing. I'll be throwing it into high gear mid October with a photo tent, auto tent, and my little pollen chucking tent.
Once I finish the 2x4 autos I'll close this journal. Been a solid 15 months of perpetual growing, and I've learned so much! Thanks to everyone who has followed along amd offered advice!
