Preliminary smoke report on AB2 (again) and AB5. AB2 yielded only 12 grams of trimmed flower, but that's inline with expectations for the runt of the litter. The smoke is potent and the flavor is dark, dank and improving, but the effect is more couchlocky than I'm looking for, so I will discard the AB2 clone plant. I'll have a better handle on the flavor after a proper cure, which probably won't happen because I'm smoking it and 12 grams isn't much! (This post brought to you by AB2 )
Last week (at around F73) I snipped a small bud from AB5 and let it dry for a few days. This was an early sample because, a week later, AB5 is still showing mostly clear trichs with no amber and some of the pistils are still cream colored. So I started with one hit yesterday morning with my pinch hitter, got a nice, slightly spacey glow, and took a second hit. Then I got lots of shit done. Had a very productive day and continued to take the occasional puff through the day until the bud was gone. Not super potent or debilitating, but a really nice buzz. Unfortunately the bud I snipped was one that had been pollinated courtesy of AB1, and I got 4 seeds, 2 of which were definitely too immature. I may pop the other two and throw a couple AB F2s in with my next grow. I was never able to get a clone from AB5 so I may try to re-veg it, because it also looks to be capable of pretty good yields if I had a second shot at it. At least I'll have seeds from AB5.
Speaking of clones, after 6+ weeks I finally got a cutting from AB10 to throw out a root, so I now have clone plant backups of AB1 and all the females except AB5. I had a lot of difficulty with cloning (rooting) this grow. I've switched to a thermostat-controlled dome propagator and either peat pucks or rapid rooters for my cloning system, and am going to be ready to take some Grail Widow and Neville's Haze Mango cuts soon for my next grow.
@wwwwww - AB9 was too far gone when you posted your message and was beyond recovery. I had also tossed the clone plant I had. If I run across a plant like that again I'll keep it around. I know Morphote had a similar intersex plant in his Grail Widow grow and he did some breeding with it. Morphote, if you're out there, I'd love to know what you did with your intersex Grail Widow plant and how it worked out.
