Jack the Ripper, Ketama, Afghan Kush Supersoil Grow in Autopots

Thanks omg. My understanding of autos is that they're generally higher in CBD (due to the Ruderalis ) so I could see how they could aid in sleep.

Cant wait to see the full report medshed.
My best night time smoke ive had so far has been the osiris i grew that was a large percent amber.. I have 2 more osiris in the box now a week into flower, and i still have about an 1/8 i harvested on 5/13. Ive been letting it sit in the jar not wanting to be completely out lol... I cant wait to smoke the 8 month cured shit, not sure when that will be tho, prolly a lil closer to harvest time for current ones.

Hey Med, so CBD helps as a sleep aid? I'd heard that it was good for inflammation, but hadn't heard about sleeping. That is very interesting, as I'm always looking for a sleepy time strain . I have heard, though, that CBD can be more "carcinogenic"... but that's assuming that cannabis can be carcinogenic (my only guess is in smoke form). Based on the evidence I've seen it can be anything but when taken outside of a smokable form-- i.e. topical oil and oil ingestion. Have you seen Rick Simpson's stuff, or any of the other similar youtube docs out there? Nuts stuff. Sorry-- I digress off topic. I'm real baked.

Have a good night, Med.

Hey Bobo - sorry, I thought I had replied to this message but I guess it didn't go through. I thought CBD was known to help as a sleep aid, but I've since done some research on it and it seems that it actually tends to make you alert. As part of my "research" I picked up a local strain that was tested at 2:1 CBD:THC. It does have a very calming effect, but doesn't make you drowsy. This was a sativa-leaning strain (just judging by bud structure and effect) so I felt alert, but don't know if that was from the THC or the CBD.

On a totally unrelated topic, I'm testing out the JTR this morning for the first "true" test and man am I flying! I like to "get to know" a strain before doing a full report on it so I won't do one right now, but initial impression = VERY NICE!!

Hola Rollers!

Here's the final porn installment of this grow log. I'll be back in a week or two for a smoke report. I've been doing some sampling here and there but really want them to cure out a bit more before doing a true smoke report.

Jack the Ripper
This girl was the productivity winner of the lot. I normally don't weigh anything out, but was curious this time so I did. The JTR came in at 83g (just under 3oz), plus trimmings which I'll make into hash for tincture. You can see a seed (maybe two) in the bud shot below. I'm pretty sure the JTR got seeded by the Ketama that threw bananas and must have blown a load before I caught it. After breaking up a few buds, I see that she has quite a few seeds. I doubt that any of them are viable but it does suck sorting seeds from bud. I don't think I've done that in at least 15 years or so. I'm gonna need to do all the de-seeding for Mrs. Medshed because she still has a mental image of seeded bud=bad bud. If she had to sort through seeds she'd probably say the JTR sucks, which you may be able to tell from this rambling paragraph that it definitely does not suck!

Ketama
This girl (turned shemale) came in at 31g as the lightweight of the group. I did save back more buds in the trim pile for hash making since she went hermie on us, so she produced more than the dry weight suggests. I'm still trying to pin down whether I like this strain or not. It isn't really a standout, but it does give a decent indica effect for a nightcap. Considering the herm issue in my environment I probably won't run it again indoors. I may consider an outdoor try at it sometime though.

Afghan Kush
I can say with confidence that I like this strain. I've been sampling it for bedtime meds over the last week or so and it does the trick. Dry weight on this girl was 38g, with a decent amount of trim saved back for hash tincture.

i feel your pain, my gear got a nanner and a few balls busted within its viscinity, everything got seeded but my blue mystic's. seeded a few buds on my (Agent orange x Shiva] x Jillybean) and my little Jillybean x Fruit auto's. it was a Jillybean x fruit auto that hermed in the end.

Looks great despite the seeds, Med. I'm sure it all stinks to high heaven, too. Nice budshots, btw

enjoy the smoke!

mine did the same quite devastating.

Fantastic photos mate. You've done yourself a good crop, well done!!

Thanks. Aside from the hermie issue, I'm quite pleased...

Nice grow report. I love the bud structure on the Afhgan Kush. Interesting, my JTR pheno of pandora's box looked strikingly similar to your finished JTR bud shot.

Well done...and dont worry about the seeds, it happens!

Thanks Snafu. My one and only grow of Pandora's Box produced a more rocket shaped bud structure. I really like that bud. We're still sitting on some that's been curing about 11 months now. I was just asking Mrs. Medshed yesterday what she thought of the JTR compared to the Pandy. She likes the Pandy better. I tend to agree with her. The JTR is nice and uplifting but it is missing the euphoria that comes along with the Pandy.

Hola Rollers! The Ak lost her head (and most of her body) last night. We left the lower 25% or so to let it get a bit more amber for the nighttime tincture. Hopefully that will make the herbal ambien I'm looking for. Thanks to Bobo, I think the macro shots look a lot more realistic now. The aliens have been run off...
