OLD REVIEWS Short stuff "ONYX" grow and smoke report

[tokerLV]

This was my first serious grow and i am pleased with results. This is going to be as
detailed as possible grow and smoke review with lots of pics.

Oh, and don't bother spelling mistakes, english isn't my native language so i'm just doing my best.

So here is my grow report:

Growing space............40x42x55cm (WxLxH)
Soil...........................ABS greenworld potting soil
Lights........................2x23w 2300K CFL's about 18h a day, later- pure sunshine
Pot...........................4 liter (about 1gal) average plastic pot
Ventilation.................NONE

until put outdoors
avg. temp..................inside: 38°C day/21°C night, outdoors: 17°C day/8°C night
light schedule.............inside 18/6 outdoors about 13/11
days seed to harvest...69

days including 3 days of dark period
nutrients used............for vegging- VITO universal NPK 3.5-2.3-5.0 For bloom- BIOPON cactus NPK 2.5-6.2-6.3

About strain: i chose ONYX because of few reviews on the internet and relative low price per seed. I bought seeds from picknmixseeds.com for this years outdoor grow (doin' good now ) and i had to buy something for a few dollars to get free shipping so i chose onyx for
shits&giggles and i don't regret it now.

This strain is very sturdy- it survived hot temps inside and two frosts outside, nute burn,
two LST's where i accidently snapped main stem when doing 1st LST and few light burns on the top leaves. I highly suggest this strain for begginners or those who want to grow a plant without much care. Good thing for stealth growers is that this strain hasn't got smell while it is growing. It appears only in late bloom- about 7th or 8th week.

My grow space: This grow had to be as stealth as possible. So i grew in small closet without any air circulation and i actually didn't thought that it will survive until the end. But it did!

And here is plant itself. It goes day 7, day 14, 21 and so on.

Overall i can say that my grow could have been much better if i had no stealth problems. It means i could have grown in proper growbox with proper lights and air ventilation if i could. Yield was only 10grams. But hey! Weed this quality costs 20$ in my area so i am glad knowing i saved 200$ and i am smoking stuff i grew myself so i know it isn't laced or dipped in acetone (it happens here) and i can say i'm happy!

Smell, taste, bag appeal and high report!

Smell: As i said, while growing buds almost didn't smell at all. Now they are cured for 3 weeks and i can describe smell as sweet, floral and a little bit sour. I haven't ever had weed that smells like this, most of weed in my area smells skunky or really sour.

I give smell 7/10 because it isn't very intense

Taste: It has became better with curing as i remember smoking it right after harvest and quick dry. Smoking with pipe first two hits are very sweet like ripe fruit and then it gets pretty harsh on the throat (didn't flush enough)

Ash isn't light grey too.

I give taste 6/10 that's 9/10 for first hit and 3/10 for the rest. FLUSH IS IMPORTANT!!!

Bag appeal: Bud structure is very sativa-ish. Buds are small and airy, however light green with orange pistils and coated with trichomes. Got to remember that grow conditions were miserable with temp approx 37C, growing in only 1gal pot and no air circualtion. I believe this strain can do better.
I give bag appeal 7/10 because buds are small and airy but there is still a lot of trichs.

HIGH: VERY STRONG HEAD HIGH. I am not everyday smoker, i smoke about 2-3 times a week so 0.2 grams of this stuff takes me away

It starts slowly. It reaches it's peak in about 5min after smoking and holds there for about a hour and than sloooowly goes down. The high is very sativa-ish: giggly, light headed and spacey. It has got zero couchlock and no paranoia. i simply LOVE it!!!

I give high 10/10 because this weed discovered me what sativa is. It's almost impossible to get sativa in my area because they are not good for commercial growers (yields less)

Here is some bud pics.

Great well done report my friend. Rep+ to you.

Edit: And damn welcome to the site!

Lovely photography!. I think you've done well considering your restrictions.

I agree with your views on not knowing what's gone into your bought weed. It's only when you start growing that you realise what people will use to increase yields or fend off bugs. I'd hate to think what I've smoked down the years and it feels good to have control of that now.

Welcome tokerLV, you've found your way home

Those photos are fantastic. What kind of camera do you use? I just bought a few Onyx's and plan on making them a part of my next grow. Thanks for the info.

Very nice report! (Looking forward to more in the future)

Having grown a few myself,, My impression of the plant is very close to what you've got.
Being fortunate, I was able to grow in 5 gal. pots and it definately helped.

Very nice. Thank you.

I use my good old 5mpix Canon A610 camera. Onyx was great, sad thing i dropped my last 3 grams of it in a lake :/ shit happens.


Now i am growing red dwarf, vertigo and sweet afghani delicious outdoors. Started july 27th as a backup plan if something happens to the big non-auto plants early skunk, purple maroc and durban poison. I will make a report for sure, only with less pictures. It isn't safe to visit the plants too often outdoors for security reasons.
