I just ordered "Jilly Bean" seeds from TGA genetics and I received a few promo seeds. They gave me Shark shock, Fruity Chronic Juice, Bubble Gum OG, and Blimburn CR+. I did research on all of the strains and blimburn CR+ sounded promising. Im currently week six in veg with the plant. Im gonna take some clippings and pop them into the clone box soon. Anyone ever grow this strain? How was the quality and yield?

I can't comment on that one, but in took a chance and ran blimburn Tijuana, wombat, and bc diesel. I'm happy I gave them a shot, very happy.

Their diesel is one of the nicest I've had to date. Probably because they used the original nycd instead of sour d. Super thick and hard buds with a mouth watering diesel taste. Almost electric.

Their Tijuana and Wombat are both freaking stellar as well. For the price, I'd say I've spent 3 - 4x more per seed and not seen as good.

I've got catalogued photos of all my grows. I use a non-phone / wifi / gps enabled dslr for security, and give me just a little time on the pics. I'm working out security measures so I can post my brag-pics without worrying.

600w hps / 575w at the wall led array - coco and hydroton hempy 5 gal buckets. Min max canopy temp - 71 to 83 F. Starting out at 400 ppm for seedling gradually going up to 1400s. 7 day floralicious and humboldt honey only flush / finish (200ppm total solution for both).

55% rh during veg gradually decreasing to 37 - 40% by week 4 flower.

As far as grow, Tijuana amazed me because I popped 5 beans - all different breeder packs / strains, and it still outgrew the rest despite have a major setback in sprout stage.

I do this every grow because I enjoy the variety and mostly good surprises.

The Tijuana had a problem with it's shell, it was the only one that hadn't broke the grodan cube in 3 days.

I dig it out, it had shot the tap root out and swelled around the still stuck on shell. I have a special tool that has two needle fine points, just squeeze and it pops open the shell. Unfortunately, the shell had already cut thru one of the cotyledons and the part with the little two leaves poking up.

I had a bare root and one cotyledon, over the next two weeks, she quickly outpaced the kens bay 11, g13 c99, royal queen white widow, TH darkstar sprouts that had 0 setbacks.

She did take the longest to finish, Tijuana clocked in at 79 days flower(79 days from first pistils). I had a little stretch, more so than from the hybrids, but it was manageable.

Hungry, but at the same time, she never started to show bottom leaf color loss / start of deficiencies when I would drop my ppm to 600 - 800 ish for two feedings to stay on top of salt buildup in the coco.

So while Tijuana will eat a lot, she isn't either over or under feeding sensitive.

As far as cure, she has 3 weeks in the jars as we speak, so I can't say for sure what the finished prod will be like. I do take test samples, 1 quick dry under nug day of harvest, 1 every week from curing.

Taste so far has been overwhelmingly pure haze - like true pure haze from like Flying Dutchmen. As the weeks go by, the overwhelming haze taste is becoming a little more subtle, with floral and sweetish flavors coming up on the note more noticeably. The haze taste still punches you in the jaw, kind of like when you taste a rich diesel for the first time.

If I had to do it over - less veg time than 1.5 months.
