First harvest

First up is my current fave!
Strain is Kilimanjaro (pure african Sativa)
61 days to finish under a 430 hps

Sweet cotton candy/citrus aroma.Perfect for day tokin



also Harvested about another zip of her 3 days ago that was ripe...

Trichs were about 90% cloudy/5%amber/5% clear

I'll add some closer bud shots when she's dried and manicured.

They look great good job.

they look fucking great man! can't wait to see some more pics! + rep

here's a closeup...



blazed my first J of this strain last night, burns pure white, super smooth and lasts a long time. The high is clear, creative and powerful with zero comedown and no burnout. This will be my day smoke for this summer so i'm super happy with how it turned out

yield was a little lower than I expected due to my own fault. I messed up on her feeding schedule and she dropped her fan leaves early... Still pulled about 130 grams dry, definately not complaining since it's only one of 4 plants under a 430 and it's my frist grow.

Kilimanjaro is the strain, here's the info on it...

pure African sativa that has a low harvest time. Coming from the hillsides of Kilimanjaro in Kenya, it is the result of years of endogenous production by natives who call it "elephant killer". It is used by them in religious rituals and hunting because of its excitant effects. It is one of the best varieties to crop outdoor, standing out by its pleasant taste and powerful smell. It produces compact buds even in bad conditions.

Bank: World of Seeds Bank
Way of cropping: Mainly Outdoor
Race: Pure race obtained from Kenia forest.
Genotipe: 100% sativa
High: Less than 1.5 m indoor/ until 2.5 meters outdoor
Wide: Depending on prune. Some branched without prune
Growing time: Six weeks outdoor/one month indoor
Harvest time: 60-70 days indoor/lasts days of november outdoor/pollitano

Resistance to mushrooms: High because belongs to wet clime
Resistance to plague: Depends on the plague.
Irrigation tolerancy: High tolerancy to irrigation and fertilization

Yield: 350 gr per m2 indoor/ 400 âEo 600 gr per plant outdoor
Medicinal value: M edio (for its low content in CBD), although has applications like antiemetic and neurologic pain.
Smell: Citric
Flavour: Bittersweet.
Effects: Energetic, sicodelic

THC Level: 17.7% measured upon the rest of cannabinoids. 5.9% measured upon the rest of organic substances belonging to buds like: aminoacids, sugars, terpenoids, vegetal hormones, and cannabinoids (determined by gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry)

Nope, it's a 60-70 day sativa. Posted the strain description above. I harvested at 63 days, but I also did want over 5% amber trich's, which is where they were at. All pistols were red and receeded, I could have went to 70 I guess, but she was done growing due to me screwing up her feeding cycle. If she had more fan leaves left I would have let her go another week or two at least and would have had alot better yield. It's really an unbelievably fast flowering strain for a sativa, beat the pants of an indica that I had flowering beside it to reference too. I'll defintaly been growing this one again but grow it out much bigger and flower longer...

what was the veg time on this?

sorry man but your pics say otherwise,
8-9 weeks for a pure sativa is a ridiculously short flowering time, no matter what the seedbank tells you... and from your pics you can see that they still needed much more time in flowering.
but again, people on here are always harvesting way too early and will then not accept that they have.

but congrats on your grow anyways my friend

peace,

No doubt, I thought that was VERY short for a sativa as well and was very sceptical of the flowering time. This is why I grew it with an indica at the same time to compare it to. The sativa showed flowers quicker and was about a week ahead of the indica in flower growth, which is supposed to be an 8 week flowering strain. You might not believe me, all I can say is that you gotta grow it to know it! Im growing about 30 plants right now and it was the most vigorous and healthy...up until I fucked her up It could have gone longer, thats for sure, but it wasnt way too early in my opinion. Like I stated earlier the trichs were where I wanted them, all pistols were red and receeded. I might have gained some extra weight leaving her longer BUT it was a toss up due to the fact that she had lost almost all her leaves by that point and had completely stopped growing for 7 days. It would have been nice to have her fill out more and have more yield BUT this is for my personal stash so potency and type of high was most important. I wanted at least 100 off this plant and the yield was 130 dry. Max yield of this strain is 350 per square meter and this plant took up about half a square meter, so 170 could be totally possible. ah well, next time!

In any case, it is a very fast sativa and the smoke is absolutely stellar. More than a few tokes and its psychedelic, soooooo smooth with a caramel aftertaste.

Highly recommended to all you sativa lovers!

Heres a shot of an ounce...

Well, after burping my jars I noticed 2 seeds in the bottom! Freaked me out so I looked through them all and found another one. Very weird considering I have no males...this plant did have a small banana that I plucked off her, maybe she self pollinated...

Either way im stoked, they are nice phatty dark healthy seeds!

Time to double check every bud on every plant tonight...damn bananas!

well if you say so then ill believe you mate!
also, 130g in 9weeks of flowering seems a crazy amount for a quick sativa...
was 130 its dry weight?

Thats what I thought too! Yes thats dry weight, it easily doubled the growth of my other plants, some days growing 2 inches Really vigorous strain thats for sure, I bet they could easily become trees given the right conditions...

Will be postin a few pics of this plant at various growth stages as well as all the bud dried. thanks for your comments I really appreciate it!

cheers

Heres a shot of the Kilimanjaro at 28 days into flower...




plant was 14 inches tall when I switched over. Shes about 48 inches in this pic...not bad for a month! Shortly after is when I gave her extra phosphorus thinking I was giving her nitro, stupid mistake I know! Ya live, ya learn

Then she lost most of her fan leaves, and more leaves....then the bud leaves were all yellowing...good thing she gave me a few nice seeds so I can try again!

Im determined to grow a tree, next round im going for 2 months veg and 10 weeks flower and see what happens

aaaaand then 2 weeks later...yellow all over... say goodbye fan leaves!

Heres a final bud shot...



WAS 130 total, then I smoked some and cured a bit more...so about 120 in the photo. Gonna cure for a good month since its my summer weed

here's a shot of the bud from my second plant in this harvest. Strain is Brainstorm. Was just a small plant for personal smoke that went 3 weeks veg 10 weeks flower.



Has a very piney/grape aroma, the smoke is very thick and strong. Nice dense buds with TONS of trichome's...mmmm!

Before chop she looked like this:
