Yeah the sour power biker is extremely sour, slight fuel, lemon candy. Straight up delicious! Can't wait to harvest them :)

The fresh frozen ice hash run went extremely well and 1/2 is full melt. I got over a 1/8 of full melt and another 4 or 5 grams of 1/2 melt. Stoked!! Not a bad return for like 30 g of bud/trim! 20%+ return for fresh frozen is unreal, this is some great bud!! Glad I didn't run all of the Buds and kept the bigger buds for head stach. I will be savoring the 24k white gold for as long as possible, definitely is a case of QUALITY over quantity on this strain. Super quality. Hope everyone has a great weekend:peace::fire::fire:20150116_231250.jpg 20150116_225719.jpg 20150116_203519.jpg 20150116_202359.jpg 20150116_195059.jpg

24k white gold buds and qwiso shatter.

Where to start. Well, this 24k white gold pheno is 100% OG dominant in aroma and taste. A straight lemon fuel punch in the nostrils that is very enjoyable. The high from the full melt hash was EXTREMELY potent and racy at times but I was unable to function for a little while, I may have took too big of a rip, but it was only one hit off a small rig and I was gone for hours, trippy high. It tastes very lemony with some earth undertones, and slightly piney. My mouth was watering. After a couple hours I started coming back to reality and it was a perfect high to handle. My back pain was virtually gone and my muscles were very relaxed. I slept the best I have in years. Again, the hash was too potent for me to handle with the hit I took so today I tried a smaller amount of hash. I smoked a little over a grain of rice sized piece and it was perfect. An upper type high mentally, very clear thoughts and relaxing, the high was fantastic.

The Buds are almost dry, I don't want to do smoke report quite20150118_215127.jpg20150118_130428.jpg yet on the Buds until they are properly dried so I can give a better description to smell and taste, but with what I've seen from the concentrates, I feel it will be a GREAT evening smoke to unwind with.

Edit: I have not tried the shatter yet but it also has an extreme lemon pledge pine smell to it.

For sure smokeal0t! I was so surprised at the effects lol -

Entering week 9 of flower. The sour power bikers are STILL stacking hard core. I am still walking down the ppm and am seeing some fading going on with the fan leaves. Currently at 630ppm.The buds are rock hard and heavy. They are starting to flop around (good thing I have the net up). They would need staking IMO. I didn't lollipop so it looks ugly under the canopy but I'm very happy with the size of the lower sour power biker buds. It will add on quite a bit to the overall yield and it's not larf or airy, about ping pong size. It's going to be a above average yield for sure. I haven't had a chance to look under the net since I put the net up so wasn't sure what to expect. But I can't be more pleased with how everything is turning out.

Any questions feel free to ask-IMG_0307.JPG 20150119_154338.jpg 20150119_154531.jpg 20150119_154717.jpg 20150119_154759.jpg IMG_0289.JPG IMG_0290.JPG IMG_0296.JPG IMG_0301.JPG IMG_0306.JPG

Thanks guys, karma has GREAT gear no doubt about it!

Thrichs look just about all cloudy, here's some close ups, the resin rails are insane! It smells so good and is right on schedule for the 10 week mark. This sour power biker is just extremely awesome :) 20150122_153540.jpg20150122_153404.jpg 20150122_153327.jpg 20150122_153312.jpg

Hey thanks papapayne! you wouldn't believe it, but I have a $7 miniature microscope I got off from ebay and I JUST found out by messing around that I can use my phones camera lens and put it on the microscope and you can see the same as through the microscope and take a picture! It's pretty sweet! I was going to buy a usb microscope (I still might get one, but this method works very well!) The problem I was having was trichs and pistils getting stuck to the lens lol, but other than that it does work very good :)

WOW! I been looking for ages. Best I had found was a harbor freight eye lens that was 15x. Couldn't make out trichome color for shit, My girl and I were at this little antique store and came across a nice jewelry lense with a LED light that does 45x. I have yet to use the new one though.

The 45x should be ok, i think the one i have is 60x ? I'm not positive though, they are super cheap on ebay and have the led light on them. What I do is i set my camera to "macro" mode then I zoom in a little and put the lens right on the microscope and voila, works like a charm :)

This thread is about to get photo bombed. I finally got a chance to get pics with the lights OFF, so the real beauty of these beasts can be seen more clearly

Hope yall have a awesome weekend- bongsmilie20150123_120059.jpg 20150123_115814.jpg 20150123_115829.jpg 20150123_115837.jpg 20150123_115853.jpg 20150123_115859.jpg 20150123_115904.jpg 20150123_120017.jpg 20150123_120025.jpg 20150123_120045.jpg

I would like to ask a delicate question....Is this your "usual" quality, or did the kharma genetics really shine, things line up or you just a gifted grower that brought out the best in the plant?

Those are some gorgeous buds man! So frosty, so much resin. Whats the smell like? Seriously man, great job.

Thanks for the kind words brotha! I really appreciate that :)
Well, to answer the questions as a whole, I think that the Karma gear worked well with me, the plants and I seemed to agree on most things through out the grow. I sometimes have my not so great grows but we all get a little better every harvest. I found that not following any feed charts or routines will produce the best outcomes. The plants will tell you what they need and you will be able to see what they want visually (or in some cases the gut feeling, I go with my gut feeling most of the time.. as when I second guess myself I seem to do something wrong). All the stars were aligned with this grow and I'm very happy with the way things are turning out. Taking 5 minutes a day to just look over the plants, (stems, discolors, feeling if the stems are firm or soft, leaf tips and margins, ROOT ZONE! (huge factor) ), if something is not right in their feedings, they will let you know. It might be just one leaf that looks a little funny and hard to spot, but when you see it and then you ask yourself, is this a deficiency or nutrient tox- you can then take the proper steps to fix it and keep them happy plants. Woops, kind of gave a longer answer than intended lol-

The smell is GREAT. It smells of sour diesel with out the deisel. Like a candy similar to sour patch kids with a lemon undertone. It's very strong smelling! The best smell in the garden :hump:

I love this! I have to say i have been happy with the karma gear. I have three maybe four females in the clones i am bringing, so you can try them if you want.
