Round 3 No-Till Living Soil - Humboldt CSI

This one was sick out the gate and purely turned out to be an experiment so I can't really even comment on the genetics. I've never experienced an unhealthy plant such as this so I had to see the outcome of trying to keep it alive through flower. Regardless of this run I will definitely try this strain again and definitely not keep a sick plant around until harvest. Soil in my pot could have pathogens or transferred a virus - too many variables to say for certain. I will be marking the pot and observing in the next run if a different set of genetics display similar plant sickness.

Morphology on this S1 observably hybrid; short maximum height, main cola w/ side branching - also more narrow leaf structure and bud development looking more airy and sativa. Trichome density desirable - looks frosted. Found trichomes to be mostly oily / greasy in feel, slightly tacky. Aromatics on this aren't that noticeable until handling the plant - smells sweet, candied sugary, a little back-end funk. There is a clone in the nursery, but unlikely to keep this cultivar due to lack of aroma and yield - unless the smoke report dictates otherwise. After a month of curing the nose has leaned strictly into candy, sweetness, light floral/fruit. Flavor only vaguely translated to taste on this genotype. Potency feels on the lower end - current tolerance is quite elevated, so this cultivar isn't very effective. Effects are very head or "sativa" like. Little to no drowsiness, mostly just a mood and head shift. Repeatedly high dosing lead to zoning out or daydreaming in my experience. I would grow this again, strictly for the focus of a potential stronger flavor in one of the genotypes

Classic looking kush structure - main cola, side branching - WIDE fan leaves, had to keep some for the collection. Trichome density looking good/alright - sandy-like resin, beach sand consistency, purely tacky after melting. Aromatics not too noticeable, only during handling the plant - smells similar to sage and oregano, slight menthol or mint leaning Two clones made it alive in the nursery - smoke report will tell if they're keepers Nose in the jar now smells like light floral and darjeeling tea or a black tea of sorts - aromatics on it are slight. Taste does not translate in whole flower - but after smoking scissor hash and dry sift hash the flavor is more like blueberries and sweet flowers - the flavor is quite faint but is desirable. Resin heads get knocked off very easily and have the consistency of beach sand. Probably is a good hash washer, but I have little experience regarding that. Potency is mild, feels on the lower end of THC. My current tolerance is quite high so the efficacy of this cultivar feels low - even the hash has lower potency effects. Effects are more body or "indica" in feeling, but mild. Makes me a little drowsy and relaxed. I would grow this cultivar again with the hopes of hunting out a more potent variety of "indica" effect. This plant showed hermaphrodite traits and self-pollenated itself, and other plants in the tent.

Strain seems to love living/biologically active soil with amazing yield and structure - almost tripled in stretch. Maybe low nutrition needs, hardly saw purple or stressed stemming during late flower. Aroma is fairly moderate, but handling the plant releases quite a heavy fragrance. Trichomes are bulbous and are slightly greasy but mostly immediately stick and tacky. Stem rub smells bizarre, and makes me think of the dogshit angle. Fragrance from the colas smells complex - heavy floral perfume, pine and mixture of sweet ripe fruits. Nose in the jar is now bright flower with sharp funk - not sure how to pin the funk, sorta cheese. Taste does not really translate to flavor on this cultivar. Potency is mid-high - definitely on the higher end. My tolerance is quite high and this plant can cut through it. Effects are almost purely in the head or "sativa" like. Big mood/mind shift - bit of a creeper for full saturation. Great potent daytime smoke that lasts - minimal drowsiness or tiredness. Planning to grow another 4 genotypes of this cultivar out of a sincere love for it. Great genetics, great smoke.
