yeah, there seems to be a good bit of debate over who's strain this is, as it seems to be exatly the same as quazar or w/e.

just by reading the first page...nothing seems look odd on the strain, it just looked like a pure sativa strain...i am actually growing a few land races from the south-east myself, and its been flowering for 2 mos now and yet to finish in a couple more months. its lanky, not big buds only few small buds per nodes

i just got back from amsterdam and i was able to try the dr. grinspoon. its got a nice uplifting high but i wouldnt mark potency more than 7 out of 10.
barney's farm has way better straiins than grinspoon i think. their cherry berry is amazing.

Okay, 13 weeks in flower and a couple days in darkness, and I'm ready to trim. This plant was grown from a clone I took from a seed I obtained through Barney's (original packaging) via Attitude. See my earlier post for that story. This was grown using Advanced Nutrients Grand Master formula (which I am not biased towards or against), under a 1000W HPS, but not directly under the light, still receiving ample canopy though. I tie down all my branches so height is no issue, although I can see how if you grew her straight up she could get 10+ feet. I had no serious nute issues or deficiencies - the yellow leaves in the pic are because this plant has been thoroughly flushed. The smell is like flowery butter. I don't particularly like this smell, during flowering the smell was so rich it was almost nauseating, but I don't like any floral smell. Other people thought the plant smelled great. There is heavy crystal build up over the entire plant (my crappy camera does not do it justice at all), although there is no density whatsoever in the buds. The buds are made up of little fingers of tiny bracts (calyxs), that when you look at close up, looks exactly like the Quaze/Grinspoon pics online, but the scale is much tinier than I expected. All those pics are extreme close ups, and I would compare it's growth pattern to Arjans Ultrahaze 1, although the Arjan's is much more dense.

Here's the whole plant

here's a close up

and here's one with my thumb so you can see just how tiny and loose the bracts are

This was grown legally! Smoke report in a couple weeks...

If I didn't grow this myself, I would say it was under nuted, immature, or the room had a light leak, but none of the above. If my camera was better, I could get close ups that look like the catalog pic with fully mature loose bracts. I was frankly disappointed until I smoked it. The high is soaring and up with zero body buzz or couchlock. A great high for sure, but it has no bag appeal unless you know what it is, and even though it's potency is in league with modern hybrid strains, it doesn't rise above the status quo making the length of time to grow not worth the space. Dry I got 2 1/2 oz, so the yield can be decent with proper bending/topping. I'm glad I grew it, but im not sad I didn't make clones.

I agree.... looks like it had a good bit more potential.... I'm more intrigued now than ever :)
Agreed, but thanks poker for posting pics. I've been curious about this one for a while. poker909, did you look at those nugs under a scope? I mean if you did that's one thing, but if you pulled em at 13 weeks, that's early according to the breeder's flower time, and it just looks immature.
