One Milky Way F1

Growing Milky Way F1 was a pleasure all the way through harvest. It sprouted quickly, grew quickly, and did not exhibit signs of stress after topping or transplanting. The plant yielded 198 grams wet for one plant, which I'm happy with, especially since it grew in a 9-liter container under a 130W LED set at 70-80% intensity. The buds look nice and frosty, and the smell is pleasant and mild. However, compared to its neighbor during the grow, a Medusa F1, the Milky Way F1 was less pest-resistant. Towards the end of the grow, a few spider mites appeared on both the Milky Way and the Medusa, whose canopies touched. As a simple control measure, I removed leaves and mites from both plants for the last 7-10 days of the grow. The mites did not multiply to the point of infestation on either plant, but they favored the Milky Way and multiplied on it to greater extent than they did on the Medusa. Sometimes I wash my harvests and sometimes I do not. In this case, I decided to wash the Milky Way F1 buds. SMOKE REPORT After washing the buds, I monitored and occasionally turned them as they dried over approximately 6-7 days. They had already been wet-trimmed, so once they were dry enough to my liking, all I had to do was weigh them and jar them up. After about 12 days in the jar, I had a small bud lab-tested (see below and photos), and then performed my own smoke test the next day. The buds bear slight but pleasant aromas of mint and nondescript flowers, which carry over into the smoke. I realize I tested and sampled a little early (out of eagerness) before achieving the full potential bouquet, but I expect that in a couple of months the mint and flowers will really stand out. I tried 3 pulls of smoke as a sample, and would describe the effects as a strong euphoric high that lasts for an hour or two and then tapers into relaxation for about another hour.
