and for a quick report.....
plant 1) this girl is the most Critical Mass and least Afghan Haze. Her nugs are FAT and FIRM and she smells fruity with citrus and berries. She has frost. This plant was the 1 which didn't like being starved of Nitrogen. Her leaves started to go a bit yellow. She has a medium to powerful aroma which is very pleasant indeed. Her arms are longish are weigh down with the weight of the nugs.
Her flowers are actually starting to mature and I would say that she will be reasy in about 2 weeks, which makes her the quickest at about 7.5 weeks from first flower (remember that she is a seedling.) The yield is very good but could be superb if she could go on another 4 weeks - but she won't. Perhaps the lack of N has stressed her a little into a slightly early finish? I don't think so, though.
plant 2) only disappointing because the other 4 are so damn good. Nothing wrong, though. Great smell, as plant (1) but slightly less pungent. Slightly skunky shaped large buds. No cola just large buds. Just a whisper of orange hairs here or there, so 3 weeks more, minimum.
plant 3) the first 'hazier' plant. Not really hazy but a little less dense in structure and more elegant, longer, creamier stigma. Large cola. Large buds. Great to superb yielder with great vigour. Not a single orange hair or swollen bract so who knows how much longer this girl will go? Same smell but the least pungent of all the girls, though still a delight. Possible undertones of pepper.
plant 4) The monster. Tall, vigorous, huge cola, massive yield. Stinky bitch. Lovely fruity, citrus orangey smell with a real berry bottom, not unlike Ribena (blackcurrent squash.) Pervasive smell. A very Critical Mass - like plant with short hairs and fat resin calyxes and glands. Starting to mature now, maybe another 3 weeks or so, taking it to 9 weeks.
plant 5) Initially the runt, she has blossomed into a beautiful plant. Not a runt but just younger by a week - because she is the haziest girl she took longer to start so her buds initially looked smaller by comparison. Not any more! Whereas some of the other girls have started to mature this lady just keeps piling on the pistils. She is developing a great middle cola and some some satellite cola-ettes going on too.
Added to all this is her smell. Unique amongst the 5 girls, she has absolutely no berry smell whatsoever but is all sweet sweet lemon metallic, like a real old school Afghani plant, with definite white pepper undertones but sweet - not at all sour. The aroma is so alluring I can't stop sniffing this girl. It may be one of the best smelling plants I have ever come across, no joke. The stenchiness is very high, this girl's aroma is not subtle at all. You can smell her above the other plants in the room (maybe except plant (4)). Her flowers are perfect pyramids almost sharp at the points! They pile on creamy long stigmas daily with no sign of abatement at all. She is the shortest of all the plants (amazingly) and the only girl sturdy enough to carry her own flowers without bending - even though her flowers are as big or bigger than all the others. This is because there is slightly less lumber with her.
Her resin is sticky and sticks to the end of my big nostrils whenever my sniffs get a fraction too close!!!
She has given me no jip at all, even through the Nitrogen drought, the P/K drought and the RO algae and just keeps going through it all.
I am praying that she is a good smoke as she has all the attributes needed to be a killer mum. When I look at her next to my Mango Haze cut, which went in the same day, there is no comparison - it is like a woman versus a little girl in terms of size and just as alluring (if not more so) in terms of smell. The Mango Haze's flowers just look tiny and light-weight next to this girl's blooms.
I have an ASH grow and a MasterKaze grow coming through but all I can think of is getting a garden full of cuttings from this baby and seeing what they can REALLY do, once I'm dialled in. Mind boggling grow so far. The ASH and MKaze better be REAL good to follow this plant (I'm sure they will..)
Conclusions - like I said, these girls don't like too much N but give them maybe a half dose or a one third dose for the first 4 or 5 weeks of flower to prevent yellowing if you are using a Light-Mix soil, like myself.
Overfeeding these girls won't make them hermie but might make them burn or slow them down. They don't need it.
I haven't used mollasses and the plants still smell so so sweet. I'll experiment further with carb-loading when I come back to this cross in the future (no doubt with plant (5) cuttings.. ) but they don't seem to need it.
I can see why this cross has 5 Howards out of 5 for aroma. It is unbelievable.
I just can't wait to cure and smoke these fruity nugs of joyous wonder.
