I grew two auto pounders. This was my first grow and I've only been smoking for a few months, so I'm not the most educated regarding quality. I gave some to a few experienced smokers for feedback on the strain. Growing conditions were: all organic soil and nutrient. Grown in 5 gal buckets. Grown under CFLs for the whole grow.
This seemed to me (my first grow) to be a hardy plant. I had some issues with nut burn, I believe, because of improperly adjusted water PH. I am guessing that the yield would have been better if I didn't have a PH problem.
One plant was tall and stretched, while the other was shorter and VERY bushy. Both plants yielded a combined harvest of 2.2 oz dry, and 4 pounds of strong canabutter from the fan leaves and trimmings, not including the nuggets I took off early to smoke (I would guess about.2 oz). The buds are a nice shape with LOTS of crystals and "snow"and VERY sticky. The smoke has a clean taste with good smell and flavor. I found it to be strong, stronger than some O.G. Kush I bought; However there was a favorable quality to the stone that I can only describe as "well rounded" or "full". This strain has worked very well as medication for pain. An experienced stoner friend of mine rated it a 7.5 on a scale of 1 to 10 for potency, and I would agree.
Overall I am extremely happy with this strain and have ordered more
seeds. Of the 3 types of pot I've smoked (O.G. Kush, Sand Widow, and Auto Pounder) the Auto Pounder is my favorite. It's a creeper and (for me) takes about ten minutes to fully kick in. When it hits, it hits hard and fast with a strong indica dominant stone and medium euphoric high. This only last for about 20 to 30 min, quickly settling into a nice, functional,medicated feeling. If you are using pot for medical reason, this isa good one. If you want to have a nice indica dominant high that doesn't leave you couch-bound, then this is the one too.
I am calling this one a successful first grow for sure.
Please post any experience you may have with the auto pounder. You have my permission to highjack this thread, so post away.
