Mephisto Genetics Sour Crack K.I.S.S. grow journal

[BR549]

They can take a LOT of abuse.
I was just reading the Sour Crack description on Mephisto's website:
-flowers are rock hard....showered with crystals
-easy variety to grow.... you can feed her liberally

Mephisto's description is pretty darn accurate. Sour Crack really is an easy to grow variety and very tolerant of over feeding. The nuggets are hard and showered with crystals.

I agree. I did every thing I could to kill mine, and all I got for my trouble was some killer weed.

Day 63 Final Chop. My darn HS1 light is dying so I have to chop down Sour Crack.

Total is 180 grams wet, about 45 grams dry, or 1.6 oz.
I would have been happy with 0.5 oz on my first grow, so I am triple happy, perma happy

I did want to let a few buds ripen more but my Grownorthern HS1 is suddenly failing,

I am grateful that it lasted until the harvest.

I have to grow a Sour Crack again... I will always wonder how much better she could be with kinder treatment.

Here is the top of the main cola at 32g wet... her final glamour shot.

That is a beautiful bud bro and very respectful yield, same as what i managed with 6 different bottles of nutes and mycos but with your K.I.S.S budget method very impressive

She cures up into a lovely smoke bro make sure to keep some stashed away like a very fine wine.

This is my first Mephisto.... sour crack

38 days old, right?
Your Sour Crack looks better than mine at the same age.
She does look stressed what happened with the soil? I can see you keep the soil moist and you have a moisture meter. Have you tried letting them get a little thirsty? Just enough that you can seed a little wilt before giving water. It can help check your moisture meter.

Thank you Spanglish!!!

I think my heavy breathing in the grow room helped boost the CO2. Funny, but true.

i use black cow in my soil mix and i could find any so i went with something different. It had more n in it, so my soil is to hot. It said the npk were the same. but not the case.

Sour Crack is chopped and filling my bowl, the skunk smell has faded and a piney note is stronger when I open the curing jars. It sure is fun looking back on the chaos and mistakes. Thanks AFN.

One last photo to help me remember my first grow journal.

No flash to highlight the trichomes, just the grow light. She really was this frosty.

VAPE REPORT
This is from a newbie perspective. I just don't have enough experience with weed to post in the Smoke Reports thread. This might help some newbies like me, and you hard core stoners can have a laugh.

Background: If there is weed around I always ask what kind it is. I get answers like, "some kind of cheese" or "some kind of pineapple" or "its is a mutt, but from a bunch of good parents". Some people are smoking stuff so crappy that they don't give bother finding out what it is. Yuck, I had to grow my own and Sour Crack is my first.

Equipment: I bought a new Crafty vaporizer just for Mephisto gear, untainted by bag weed.
The built in timer says I have used it for 17 hours. It shuts down after one minute unused so that is 17 hours of heating and inhaling. I vaped everything that came off the plant starting from day 18. New leaves, old leaves, dead leaves, mineral deficient leaves, berries, small stems, fresh buds, dried buds, cured buds....If the plant had toe nail clippings I would have vaped them. LOL

Is seems like each high has been a little different, even while vaping the same bud. From simple mellowness, to thoughtful dreamy, to racy energy, to couch lock. For me Sour Crack is like a box of chocolate...

Here is the general pattern:
Sour Crack, two long lung filling draws of vapor at 180 Celsius is so smooth... it is deceptive until I see the thick clouds on exhale. Sometimes cough at 3/4 of a lung full. Light lemon/pine flavor.
2 min: mild euphoria, but that might be the delight of seeing thick vapor clouds from my home grown bud
7min mellowness: "Why was I hurrying a moment ago, slow down"
15min: sensory filters have lowered, more aware of periphery vision, and background noise, music sounds better, more alive. A hint of dry mouth and my stomach gurgles that it is shutting down but will reopen with a vengeance.
20min: Now I am stoned, I could win a staring contest at the old folks home, but I am not fully couch locked. Sometimes everything seems funny, especially little things.
25 min The crack hits. Like a double espresso on an empty stomach. Clear, uplifting and energetic. The stupor and stone is gone. Suddenly doing stuff seems fun. Let's clean stuff for an hour! Got music? Let's dance. Sometimes the Crack hit is strong, sometimes milder toe tapping.
120 min whew! that was fun, the last hour was a smooth return to Earth. Glad I have lots more Sour Crack buds.

About 30 min is consistently the peak for me. If I make it 30min and not too high...then I am grooovy baby. But twice I over indulged and was way too high for 10 min, I learned to have good music ready to smooth the high, it helps. One time I was still mildly high 5 hours later. A couple times I got good ideas, that were still good ideas when the THC wore off.

And some other stuff: Sour crack has definitely eased my back and neck pain. That is worth a helluva lot.
This is hard to believe, but I had a little growth on my head that the Doc said we could freeze with Liquid Nitrogen and carve off. Had it for years. After one month of using Sour Crack the growth fell off. Damn I was surprised! Like jaw dropping surprised.

I am slightly less ugly and I owe it all to Sour Crack. LOL
