Humboldt CSI

I chopped this massive plant down a week or two early, since the soil was old and depleted of nutrition. I then dried her for just over 2 weeks, and proceeded to harvest the seeds. This flower was not for consuming as I hand-pollinated it with B.O.G. Seeds - BOG Bubble, a pretty pure Bubblegum variety. Despite chopping it early before all seeds could mature, I'm still left with just over 3,000 fully mature seeds.

This specific plant was a genetic univorn with a whorled deformity, but this is the real Irene.

Nspecta consistently delivers strong, the majority of these Irene crosses had taproots busting at the seams. As an Irene chaser from down South, I can say that don't just take Goat & Monkey or Cookies or CSI:Humboldt's word for it, but working with Irene in the breeding house is not an easy task. The virality of these beans was mildly absurd. Averaging right under two ounces per plant, with the testers not being included (one was given to a friend in need to finish as she was coming in slowly, while the other was a true tester and flowered as such).

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

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.
