Welcome back to round #2! My last journal was a lot of fun but now that I have some experience under my belt, I hope to show what I have learned. I yielded basically 2.25oz a plant for my first grow ever. I really would like to hit 3oz a plant this time but I would be happy with any improvement honestly.
In my first journal I pretty much updated it every other day and when something worth noting came up as well. This time I will be doing updates every 3 days and I will include anything worth noting in the updates instead of the day it happens. This will still have the same information and will be far more organized but if you want to read a journal that has a lot of pictures and updates, check out my first one.
With that being said, let the games begin! Feel free to ask any questions or make comments along the way! Not a rookie anymore. Lets see what I can do!
The Strains & Setup
Chemdawg (HSO) - The Chemdawg is the mother of all Diesels. A fact evident by the strong, jet-fuel aromas. The strain has its own mythology and an air of the exotic, with a strong, spiritual high that is pure, brilliant sativa. It will flower in around 9 weeks with good yields from a colourful, robust and energetic plant.
Purple Train Wreck (HSO) - This sativa blend has its origin in Arcata, Humboldt, CA, and is one of the strongest sativas created in California. Thin-leafed, vigorous, and a big producer, it is trippy, psychedelic, and something of a creeper. A spicy, sativa-dominant plant with a very special smell that can be described as spicy Kush mixed with sweet tangy cedar.
Ayahuasca Purple (Barney's) - The Farm received a gift of these Red River Delta seeds some years ago. When grown out these incredibly beautiful purple and ruby red plants were a revelation. We then crossed it with our Master Kush and created the perfect strain. Ayahuasca Purple has almost pure Indica traits, creating both high THC and CBD content. The wide fan leaves and short heavyset structure carry colossal dense buds that will need support in the final week of flowering. This strain has a rich hazelnut and papaya aroma and creates a heavenly relaxing and satisfying effect.
White Rhino (Nirvana) - Short, squat and immensely strong, the Rhino has enormous yields of medicinally-superb buds and almost glows in the dark with it's frosted, diamond-encrusted leaves. A spell-binding plant that will have you begging for more.
