12/12 From Seed Experiment - 21 Strains

From your pics looks like kc brains northern light special and chronic thunder yielded the most. Was your Reserva Prada sour kush bushy during growth? Did you run any CO 2 in your tent? I'm about to run about 8 or so girls for a 12/12 test grow. They all sprouted through the rapid rooter. Gonna put them in some canna coco. If all goes well going to run 60 to 120 beans from 12/12....

Keep up the good work. This is one hell of a detailed journal.

I'm not finished yet
Probably the biggest yielders have yet to be shown as they are *still* hanging.

Did you run any CO 2 in your tent?
Nope, no CO2. Just plenty of air circulation in a large basement

Was your Reserva Prada sour kush bushy during growth?
Nope. In fact not at all. One tall stick.


Excellent! What strain is the 8 you chose?

I would love to discuss this more in detail with you. Things that went well for me. Things that did not. Things I would do differently next time, etc. And see what ideas you have.

Barneys Farm Seeds Chronic Thunder - Plant #2
The top cola would not fit in the jar so I had to remove 2 bud sites (4 buds in total) in order for her to fit. I guess that's not a bad problem to have
She's the top yielder so far. I could go on and on about how friggin sticky she is but they are all sticky.

I think I'm starting to get a good sense of when to take down a drying plant. She went into the jar this morning and the RH gradually went up and was at 60% exactly a moment ago when I weighed her.

1- Dinafem white widow and 2 dinachem
1- th seeds original bubblegum
1- humboldt seed 707 headband
2- greenhouse seeds kings kush and 3 bubba kush
2- delicious seeds cheese candy.

Some are lanky because they were strecthing for light because at the time they were sharing t5's with other girls...I'll flip the. To 12/12 this weekend. I want some vigorous rooting before I put them in canna coco.

That probably won't matter much. They are a tad stretchy but you could prolly bury them some when you repot if you wanted.

HAHA! Thanks man. Are you just being kind? Is it just me or are these girls pretty resinous?

no way I'm not kind at all - just call it like i see it lol. That looks like some frosty ass buds from where I'm sittin! Really curious to hear how it smokes / how the high is. Pretty sure there's some barney's farm seeds buried in my stash somewhere around here. You're making me want to pull em out n throw em in a party cup lol

There are 6 plants that are still hanging. 4 of them will be cut up tomorrow morning and the other 2 maybe tomorrow night...maybe the following morning.
I also have 2 jars that I'm not sure if they've been photographed or not...I'll figure that out tomorrow.

In the mean time I wanted to share my modest summer harvest. I grew a Northern Lights Auto from BlimBurn Seeds. When I first started getting interested in growing again I had never heard of Auto's and it was a freebie from Attitude when I started placing orders for seeds.

At any rate, the grow went well and the plant was very nice. She had a nice mellow high and earthy taste. She was harvested on August 16th and has been curing since August 21st. Tonight was the 1st time I've checked on her in about a month and I wanted to share some pictures. When the cure started, she looked like about everything else usually looks. Having cured now for about 2 1/2 months she has lost almost all of the green color. Actually most of the green was gone after 1 1/2 months...last time I checked on her. At 1 1/2 month into the cure she measured 58% RH and while I did not take a reading today she feels pretty damned dry now. I'm going to take some sample puffs and see what she tastes like. She smells very odd. Can't quite put my finger on it. Maybe when I grind a little up she will smell differently.

At any rate, here are some pics I wanted to share. I've never cured anything this long and I've never had color like this.

When I look at the trich's under a scope they look absolutely gorgeous. They are not all brown and decrepit or anything like that. Nice and clear and shiny and sparkly.

Anyone done extended cures before that can share their experience with color and aroma?

Hope my NL auto start to pack on the frost must be nice how having them jarred up i would just be smelling them all day

Getting prepared to ship out film canisters in vacuum sealed bags to my blind judges. Figure I only have about 4 strains that are viable candidates...hope the blind judges come back with flying colors for at least one of the 4.

Hey bro in other news that AK48 Seed was shit it cracked but didn't break the soil thats the first and last time i ever use a Jiffy back to rock wool

in other news not going to move so ill be cracking some AK48 soon for the next grow still waiting on my other seed orders but really want to try the AK out i loved AK47 so lets hope its like that

But might wait as i am stress about having so much on hand

Barneys Farm Seeds Top Dawg
Very leafy. Buds are not dense. Largest top cola but when I go in and do the final close trim it will probably lose this status.
This was one example where all of the lower vegetation was removed early in flower leaving only the top cola.

Delicious Seeds Critical Jack Herer - Plant #2
Plant turned out awesome. Ended up needing 9 days of hang time. Top cola was about 12 inches tall so I had to cut her up to fit into the jar.
Smells like Pinesol. Dense buds and not too leafy...will be easy for final manicure.

Samsara Seeds Green Love Potion
A very nice showing by this one. Good dense buds, nice resin. Overall a fine example.

Critical jack herer #2 looks like she was a beast. Dam! Have you did your total weight of all of them combined yet?

Way Kewl M8. Very Nice Work Indeed

Some nice frosty goodness, thanks for the update. I am going to try some Green Love Potion in a few more days. It has a very unique smell to it so far, can't wait .

Peace and Great Grows

No totals quite yet...pretty sure I have a few left that are jarred but haven't been photographed or weighed yet. I will write up a final report to better organize all this information.

Connoisseur Genetics Seeds East Coast Sour Diesel Haze
This one appeared to be one of the most massive ones during the grow but she was pretty light and airy.
