Strain: Vortex - phenotype: small bud, banana runt smell & taste, fast flowering
Growth: Fast to root, fast to grow in veg, easy to train, likes to be topped and bushes out nicely. Has quite a bit of stretch in flower and puts on a lot of internode space once it is flipped to a 12/12 cycle. If the plant is not topped, the bottom branches will stretch to nearly the top of the canopy and create their own top colas. Although none of the buds are exceptionally large, even the bottom-shelf nugs are resin coated, dense and fully developed at harvest time. I would suggest staking early in flower to help encourage larger bud formation because the branches, even when topped, bent and trained are not very sturdy. She also responds negatively to environmental stress both in veg and flower so keep her away from the fans and intense lights or heat. The other pheno we have grown is much more hardy but not nearly as nice as a finished product.
Nutes: Light feeder. We halved our base nutes of Botanicare Prue Blend Pro and increased our Silica and CaMg feedings. This helped reduce stress reactions and kept the plant much greener throughout her life cycle. We also went light on our bloom push which we gave a few days early because of the quick flowering times.
Yield: about 4-6 oz from a 3ft tall (ground up), 2ft wide plant. Gives amazing returns 20%+ for BHO
Bag Appeal: Dense nugs. Easy trim, hardly any fan leaves. Trichromes stacked on top of eachother. Light green color with barely any hairs
Smell: Yellow - combination of a creamy sweet banana and a citrus lemon smell. Only non fruit smell present could be described as gym socks. Absolutely no green, pine or skunk smell present.
Taste: More creamy citrus than sour citrus. Banana runts
The High: You feel it in your face before you exhale. Good anytime but sleep-time smoke. Makes groups giggly and creative and motivates. Does not give couch-lock but definitely takes the edge off of anxiety and stress. Good anti-depression and mood-lifting strain. Good for when you have a lot of work to get done and you want to do it in a better mood or you need some inspiration for that creative side.
