- fine-ass '22 harvest!
Cheers AFN strain stalkers! Here's a winner for you to consider...Thank you again to Female Seeds and @gennaro-fs for spotting this gorgeous tester girl!
SeedBank :
Female Seeds
Strain:
Outdoor Grapefruit (photoperiod; Grapefruit x Easy Sativa)
Soil/hydro:
soil-- Roots Organics 707; 7gal fabric pot
Nutes:
-- easier to show pics than write out... Always a mixed bag there! I did forget to add in the Si supplement....Dyna-Gro Protekt
This time, I'm running mainly Greenleaf Nutrients Megacrop, with a couple bloom boosters when appropriate: Open Sesame (FoxFarms) and GLN's Bud Explosion... the former is higher P/mid' K for early to mid-late bloom, the latter is mid' P/high K for finishing,... I was given a sample of Atami Bloomtastic (0-14-15) plus other goodies, so that will get slipped on occasion since the others are very high PK#'s!
Rather than list, here's pics of what's in the "kitchen", used as deemed wise,...
Light (kind and schedule): N/A
...brief tent start, then full Sun grown
From seed to harvest date:
late start-- July to end of Oct., so only 4 months total time, just under 7 weeks in bloom,...
Dry Yield: about 6+oz
Grow Notes: rock solid steady-as-she-goes; no significant issues of any kind despite the small pot and large plant size; resisted mold very well!
- speedy bloomer for a Sativa dom. cross
- gorgeous color development when cool weather hit, wish the pics showed it better! ...lots of subtle air-brushed highlights on calyxes....
- Interesting "double dentate" margin pattern on leaves
- a pretty plant her whole life, landscaping finery :smoking:
- this plant grew less than a mile from the ocean, coastal CA in a cool climate, lots of Summer fog....and thrived!
>> RATE SCALE: (*) = bad, to (*****) = great
BAG APPEAL: * * * * +
-- really nice looking buds, Sativa all the way... moderate density, lean-ish pointy tipped colas; long narrow calyxes, thin leaves; tons of fine trich' heads! .... nice color overall, even if the pistils don't stand out much...
THE GROWTH: * * * * *
- easy-peasy, mucho pleasey (see above)
THE SMELL: * * * +
( a note about this pheno', she was an unusual "throwback" to her Easy Sativa parent in this regard, sadly no actual grapefruit notes)
- live plant was mild in aroma: sweet floral, mild fruity/citrus, a little headshop/incense
- dried and cured well: similar sweet floral + mild fruity and citrus, a slight spicy herbal/aromatic woods note lurking in the background... deliciously pleasant!
THE SMOKE: * * * *
smooth, gentle expansion; subtle flavor close to aroma... A nice doobie of this will please the crowd no end-
THE HIGH: * * * * *
-- very fast hitting, you can feel the first toke or two fall over your eyes (and lids) and body within a minute or so....
-- Excellent potency! Feels like a lab tested 19-22% comparable bud, IMO... (I'm not a heavy smoker, or a flyweight for tolerance for what that's worth by measure)... A few moderate tokes off the bong and I'm nicely baked; a couple-few more, and it's
!-- definitely classic Sativa in buzz; upbeat, bright to soaring high, strongly psychoactive and trippy; not good for active focus past a light buzz! Great for spacey contemplations though.... definite visual fuzziness...
-- buzz is lasting, 2+hours; no post high burnout at all...
porn!
