Happy New Year Everybody!


I would like to enter this Trainwreck I just purchased. This is my first time coming across this strain and I'm glad I did!

Cost: $50/eighth

Description: Extremely dense and super sticky, it cakes back up after being grinded. The taste is musky. Dark green with slight tinges of purple and completely encrusted in yellow/amber resin. It actually gives the buds a yellowish color. This is the first TRUE "one-hitter quitter" I've come across in a long time.

 

[ilikebike]

damn that bud looked like it was dipped in hash oil and rolled around in keif, such a unique color, do you know what bank it came from?

here is some Jack Herer i got at a festival in ME, Organic soil grown, taste is spicy and kinda skunky, smell is wicked spicy almost tickles your nostril, super stoney high but really good herb

 

[Blueskybsn]

[Truth Seeker]

I am going to enter my Afgoo again, this was my summer harvest, I yeilded almost 6 oz just from 2 plants...
this is the cola shot from the LST plant!!!

and

 

[Deacnbleu]

Entering my House Blend. A cross of Kush and Jack Herer. Harvested December 3rd. This plant is one of my favorites to grow and smoke. It grows short & fat, the high is somewhat energetic and long lasting, great for pain relief and muscle spasms. The taste is citrus with a hint of skunk.

 

[Mr. Krip]

My entry this month is the same plant I have entered in POTM, just finished drying and is now jarred.

She's a Skunk x Mazar cross (affectionately known as "Lucy") grown in a SOG. She's got some great trichs that are more visible in the POTM thread and in my journal, but she was so big & fat, I wanted to capture size on these pics:

Happy Harvests!

What an elegant display... It would be right at home as the centerpiece in a Better Growhouses & Gardens photo spread! Well done Mr. Krip!

Seriously! It's like you know it's seriously gonna fu*k you up just by looking at it! I would feel like I need to don personal protective equipment to even handle those nugs!

Nice entry AmGrowR2!

Thanks, Bro! I was just demonstrating the proper use of a "bud vase"!

 

[ratboy]

Hey mr krip,
That bud looks v.nice and I have to agree with frat our display work is fantastic (magazine quality), but what got me is the size of the bud in proportion to the vase DELICIOUS.

Good work keep it up.

How do I vote people

How do I vote people

They accept entries up to the 15th of each month, up to a max of 25 entries. After that, sometime on the 15th or 16th the poll will open and appear at the top of the thread, followed by a recap of all the entries. Then you'll have until the last day of the month to vote.

 

[LJFM]

Here is a shot of some I got yesterday. It is Sour Diesel x Bubblegum

Cost: $40/ 8th
Smell: A hint of pungent-ness that becomes sweet as it's broken up.
Smoke: Smooth and Mild with hints of citrus. (My current bowl isn't that great for tasting even after it's been cleaned)
High: A great body indica high that comes with fits of laughter if the mood is right
Added Bonus: Found a seed to use for my next grow!

Overall a very enjoyable high.

 

[ilikebike]

looks yummy and nice price!

 

[Greenie]

Here's my nugget. I'll call it "KING DONG" It's 9 inches... and resembles ... well, you can see it... I grew her from seed.

Bubblegum (sticky, sweet and oh so nice to smoke!)
She actually tastes like bubblegum. Smooth smoking, two hits and you are part of the couch. About an hour later, if you can finally peel yourself off the couch, you might find yourself in the corner with a box of Twinkies and glass of milk

 

[Icemud]

I'm going to enter my Kali Kandi test nug...(if thats allowed...please let me know if it isn't and I will remove it) wanna play by the rules...

I pulled her off of my Kali Kandi, (also in the POTM contest), and quick dried her on my wall heater for a few hours, put her into a jar for a few hours to let the moisture wick out, and put her back on the heater for a few more hours... Haven't loaded her up in a bowl yet, but that will be most likely after this post...

Kali Kandi is a cross of Chocolope C6 from DNA crossed with OG101 from Whored out Seed Co., crossed by SocalDam Genetics, and she was grown from clone...


--UPDATE-- : Smoke Report
Wow...I am really impressed for her still being clear/cloudy with very little amber, and with a few hour quick dry at that...

The taste upon inhale was very sweet at first..a sort of vanilla/coffee taste with a lot of lung expansion. She was a bit harsh due to the quick dry but smoked rather evenly. The smoke was somewhat harsh to the throat, this I am also sure was due to the quickdry, but very subtle harshness, not too bad The exhale had a very strong skunky, diesel type kushy aftertone, which sat in my mouth for quite a few minutes after smoking a few hits... I smoked it thru a glass pipe(bowl) style, freshly cleaned so I could taste her in full. The high was not immediate and gradually got stronger and stronger as minutes ticked away...a very very clean behind the eyes uppity high, very clean and not groggy at all, feel happy and awake...but very strong too, where you question how high you actually were...

 

[Janja]

Here is a dry specimen from my potm entry. This is the Red Dragon. It is a 23+% THC level sativa that smells like a combination of guava, papaya, and mango with a bit of spice to it. Grown 100% Vegan the taste is a strong guava/papaya combination with spicy/hazy undertones on the exhale. It is without question my favorite breakfast bud on account of its soaring high that starts from the very first inhalation and lasts all morning giving me the energy and relief from my crohns to get stuff done. Peace and Jah Bless everyone and your week.

and close up..

Beautiful entries from all by the way
