Best one word description of the RM buds - Gnarly

Big foxtails all the way around, then little ones that had just started on top of them. Sometimes at the end you see the 3-5 pistil groups popping together? These plumped into 3-5calyx fans. Little wafers sticking up off the dried buds. Awesome stuff.

Been trying to pin down the smell, but the best I can come up with is a deli ham sandwich, heavy on miracle whip (not mayo) which is more sweet/spicy than mayo. And on good bread, like a rye or pumpernickel with some spice to it. Stick your nose in the jar and you want to eat it as much as smoke it. So I'm thinking the "mystery" maybe had some cookies or something as the base. Definite baked goods undertone.

I only got one female (I think I dropped 3?) so I don't know if there are other phenos. I'm running all his testers at once now (or a dozen or so whichever is less) when he sends them so I can do my due diligence. The RM are defininitely getting run again, or at least going in my "reggie roulette" to look for another female.

I am leaning toward running the 4th gear 1st , I can feel the heat coming off all those packs . I need to buy another tent lol.

Not a bad choice in the lot. I would guestimate the RM to be the lower THC of the three (like only 18-20% ) but it is a good all-day smoke. well rounded, nice even buzz.

Got the weather-stripping, and did some other creative redneckery to re-lightproof the closet, Hulk will finish in here, then the Biscuits move in.

Getting ready to "de-closetize" this monstrosity. It served me well, but I'm tired of looking at it. All the gear from this one will run the new tent.

 

[H.A.F.]

Damn! But you can see the initial draw, having that little nook to enclose.

 

[H.A.F.]

Done. I now have two mostly empty flower rooms. The design happened to line up perfect to my existing fan mounting

Since I'm not really worried about smell, I think I may try the 2 135's separately in smaller tents (eventually...) and just have the carbon filters (or a homemade rig) venting into the room, then re-exhausting through the tent and closet intakes.

 

[H.A.F.]

Got an early-popper. Broke soil morning of 1/7 (day 3)

 

[H.A.F.]

Widow looks delicious.

After a week of drying it has a smell like buttered popcorn. It had almost no keif (real sticky) compared to the first one I ran, so I am dying to try it cured.

I think I got lucky having low rH here, and having to resort to the vacuum-dry thingy. After about 3 weeks my stuff is good. I mean, of course it gets better with age, but doing specific smoke reports when stuff hits a month I have noticed that it's about the same as the 3-week version.

 

[H.A.F.]

Everything is dry now, so here's what's curing.
Black Widow from 12/31/19 - big tops in the quart jar.

And the Para-Diesel from 1/3/20 - All 8 tops wouldn't fit in the half-gallon

So here's the larf (less 2 cones) and the smallest top.

 

[H.A.F.]

I don't know if I like the dry trim as much, still undecided. I haven't decarbed the keif yet, and it looks like I may have another few grams worth in the shake flaking off the buds.

In between burpings I roll the jars to make sure nothing is sticking, so I am gradually bowl-trimming them gently as they cure.

 

[H.A.F.]

I was out back burning some deadfall limbs and whatnot, and decided to do some plinking. I just have a little 2x2 steel at about 15yds and I make some noise every once in a while to keep the property value down

Anyhow, I set out an onion that sprouted on me and put a stake in the ground so I didn't walk on it. I noticed that I kept leaning a little to avoid it and hit the target.

I burned some 6mo old Superskunk and sipped some Sugarlands shine, and had an epiphany!

 

[H.A.F.]

You can see the hits are all lower right. That is a sad state brought on by hard liquor and wacky-tabacky

Beginning of day 6 - not looking promising.

One popper so far and it's tiny.

The lone biscuit!

The lone biscuit!

Like removing the pants from.........

 

[H.A.F.]

Day 110 and trichs are starting to turn. I am in no hurry with this one, but the leaves are for shit. Hopefully this will be my last QB burnt plant. All because my idiot ass didn't spend $19.99 on a meter...

The lone biscuit!

Saturday morning I go archaeologist on them and see if any are just slow, then I get the Blue Eyes F2's wet.

 

[H.A.F.]

I only have 6 of the Blue Eyes, so I may start my reggie roulette at the same time. I have to choose from the following to get started. Not a loser in the bunch, but I want to hit the 5 big chuckers on the site first and try their wares.

This is an easy choice since I just have one strain from @Phylex (Citrol Sledgehammer) and from @HydroRed (Sin City Juice)

Here's what I need to choose from for the others. If anyone has any insight, something they want to see run, whatever, I am dropping one fem-possible seed from each chucker

@SCJedi
Nigerian Skunk
Nigerian Bubblegum
Nigerian Goji
Blackwater Mystery

@Schwaggy P
3 Headed Dragon x Longbottom Fighter
Old Family Purple x Jabbas Stash
Hells Angels OG x Skunky VA

@Heisenbeans
Pig Whistle
Orange Blossom Special

 

[H.A.F.]

I like variety, so since I have the Citrol Sledge covering that terp, I am leaning towards the Pig Whistle first from Heisen. Which leaves two choices.

 

[BigBallzWillie]

why the ixnay on the Orange Blossom Special?


oops I see lol
