Comments:

The Jamaican Dream pheno I grew turned out interesting to grow but the end results are kind of mediocre.

It has a low odor while flowering that has a sort of zesty citrus smell to it. It makes a bit of smell when you chop it down though.

It took longer than expected. The breeder advertised it as a 42-45 day strain, which is why I got it, but it took nearly 9 weeks until harvest, 8 weeks and 5 days. It looked like a lot of weight when I chopped it down and it was hanging in the basket, but when dried out it only weighed just over 3 ounces, 76 grams. That's a decent weight, it just looked like more at the time of harvest.

It occupied 2 feet of space in a 3 gallon container of peat and perlite. It only vegged for 5 weeks and 5 days before going in to flower since it was getting big fast. I had to top it a second time to control it's height during veg. The new shoots are very tender and snap easily, I ended up snapping one off by accident and made a clone out of it which got planted out in the bush.

It's stretches more than any strain I've grown. When it went into flower there were very few bud sites and alot of stem, but it ended up producing a decent yield 60 days later. It looks a bit shwaggy due to it's light resin coverage. Calyx to leaf ratio is average. The trim is lousy for making hash. Most of the buds are kind of fluffy, the tips were of medium density.

The smoke is ok. It has an interesting flavour, similar to Green Poison but not quite as good. The potency is a bit mild. My buddy says it's killer but I'm not feeling strong effects from it.

I wouldn't recommend this strain.

Thanks for a great report, Bud! I've got two in the tent I just flipped a couple of days ago. Sounds like you're a bit disappointed with the end result. How's the high, up or couchlock?
I'll say one thing, they take the nutes hard and heavy. I think I vegged too long (2 months, I think), but I was waiting for a chocoloco and cotton candy to catch up with the JD so I could flower all at the same time. I hope I have enough headroom, tent is only 6.5'. Mine bushed out, but I could tell they were going to stretch hard after preflower.
If mine come out half as good as yours, I'll be happy.

The buzz is ok, more up than couchlock. The flavor is good, but it just seems weaker than most other strains I've been growing.

I had a high level from Eva, it hermied on me around the second week. I thought I had taken all the pollen sacks off but I missed several and they opened up and caused some damage. I ended up chopping it down at the end of week 4, it had mostly pollinated itself.

Also, I have an Excalibur from Eva, it's taking awhile to bloom and the buds look pretty small. So yeah, I'm not too impressed with this seedbank.

The damage has already been done when the pollen sacks have opened, it doesn't make any sense to chop it at that point. Seeded weed is better than no weed. :weed:

The buds were puny and seeded, nothing much would have come from it. I put a sugar black rose in it's place, it's looking nice. It did some damage to my power flower which is looking quite potent and coming down tomorrow.

Of course the buds were puny, it was only week four. Even if the plant would have only yielded an ounce you still threw hundreds of dollars of smokable bud in the trash. Not something I would have done personally, but if you're happy with what you put in it's place that's all that matters. :eyesmoke:

Nice report Bud Tipps. Question : How are you able to keep the buds SO close to your lamp? My 400w HPS burns the shit out of anything that comes remotely close to it.

Keeping the lumens on the canopy is the trick, and naturally the fan makes it possible. Wish I had just gotten a cool tube to begin with.
Yeah, I wouldn't mind a cool tube either but they cost a lot so I just went with the fan.

I put a clone of the JD outdoors last year. It didn't finish until the end of November.. the quality was crap but it survived somehow.. no bud rot, just some rain damage.
