NHS Smoke Report/Final Summary.
This report took some time and effort, but worth every toke 
. Hope you enjoy:
FINAL SUMMARY REPORT FOR NATIONAL HEALTH SERVICE (NHS): May 7th to October 6-24th ** 30 DAYS SINCE HARVEST **
NHS= NL5/Hz x Skunk. 25% Northern lights, 25% Haze and 50 % Skunk, so variety & high yield expected
# IN THE RUN: Soaked 11 and got 6 females.
GROW MEDIUM: Organic recycled soil. Coast of Maine Stonington blend fertilizer, Raised bed mix, Lobster compost, worm castings, fish bonemeal and molasses water, if needed.
SOAK/SEEDLING/VEG TIME: DOB/soak=5/7/23; Stagger Flip at 9 weeks to 12 weeks later. So lifespan=5 months.
YIELD IS WORTH IT.
FLOWERING TIME: Varied. As early as 12 weeks to 15 weeks.
LIGHTING: 673w Pro Grow 1800 Grow Light Science
POT SIZE: 32 oz cups to 1.5g pot to 5-gallon fabric pots.
CHARACTERISTICS: Varied structure shown in this 6-pack. Size is consistently on the tall side, as expected from lineage. 4.5 feet – 6 feet.
NHS #1. Last known photo before chopped at 79 days, harvested Oct 6th. 64” from base. Mostly “thumb-sized” firm buds, aside from top cola. Mildly sweet smelling. Bud squeeze test=Mild/soft hints of fruit. Sticky when breaking apart, making use of the lighter challenging
. Glass bong, nice slow burn with a clean hit, smooth with an initial sweet floral taste. Not tasting Haze, but getting a nice head high.
NHS #2: 85 days flowering, harvested Oct 10th. Similar to #1, though lesser yield, yet better taste & texture. Tangy sweet fruit smelling, while bud squeeze=increased tangy fruit with even stickier when broken up. Strong, early pungent fruit taste and smell. No Haze, with an obvious strong fruity smell n taste to develop with The Cure …
NHS #3: 86 days flowering, harvested Oct 13th. Tallest, and the one I needed to bend the top cola to keep the height down. Would have been 72”, though LST’d down to 64”. True mixture of hard, Indica buds with elongated, sativa expressions, and some foxtailing of the top Colas. Similar Tangy sweet fruit smelling, while bud squeeze=increased tangy fruit and stickier when broken up. Strong, early pungent fruit taste and smell. This one had Haze taste and post-smoke. Strong head high. Curing up beautifully. 1 hit was enough.
NHS #4: 86 days flowering, harvested Oct 13th. Nice structure, continuing with same bud size, firmness and structure. 5’ tall. Softer fruity smell. No Tanginess to this one, while bud squeeze=similar soft fruit without the stickiness when broken up. Soft, fruity, and this time HASHY taste with some Haze aftertaste. Nice head high. Curing up well. Went back for a 2nd hit.
NHS #5: 93 days flowering, harvested Oct 20th. Uniformly elongated, solid bud structure. Strong growing plant that dealt with the temp fluctuations better than her sister. Nice structure, continuing with same bud size, firmness and structure. 5.5’ tall. Tropical/fruity smell with nice colors. Bud squeeze=Stronger fruity aroma with stickiness when broken up. Strong, fruity, taste with some Haze aftertaste. Nice head high. Curing up well. Went back for a 2nd hit. Nice.
NHS #6: 104 days flowering, harvested Oct 24th. The most unique Sativa of the group. HOWEVER, I did possibly trigger a stress reaction when I broke the top cola when transferring from veg area to flower. Elastic tape worked well to save, resulting in exaggerated self-topping/multi-cola’s. HOWEVER, I DO HAVE A CLONE FOR THIS PHENO WHICH GREW 1 MAIN, ELONGATED, COLA OF SIMILAR VISUAL & WITH FRUITY AROMA. POSSIBLY summer heat in the tent lead to the lack of aroma/terpene’s both pre-smoke and when smoked. HOWEVER, it provides a EXCELLENT SATIVA cerebral/clear thinking high.
YIELD: I break my buds down into Top Shelf, Mid Shelf & Edible Popcorn buds
.
NHS #1: 51g of Top Shelf; Mid Shelf=43g + 18g for edibles. 112g, Nice yield.
NHS #2: 36g of Top Shelf; Mid Shelf=33g + 23g for edibles. 92g.
NHS #3: 71g of Top Shelf; Mid-Shelf=33g + 19g for edibles. 123g, Nice yield.
NHS #4: 33g of Top Shelf; Mid-Shelf=28g + 24g for edibles. 85g.
NHS #5: 73g of Top Shelf; Mid-Shelf=52g + 20g for edibles. 145g, xs 5 oz’s. Very nice yield.
NHS #6: 71g of Top Shelf; Mid-Shelf=31g + 15g for edibles. 117g, Nice yield.
TIDBITS: GREAT variety & IMO, run the whole pack, or as many as possible to give chance for a genetic treat. Responded well to cloning, in fact, too well, as I have another half dozen clones finishings soon
MyDx TESTING: I know that this isn’t scientific testing, but for home use I’m satisfied:
Took 1 bud from each to compare & contrast…
NHS #1: 22.19%; 19.66%
NHS #2: 17.50%; 17.15%
NHS #3: 22.07%; 19.66%
NHS #4: 17.49%; 17.07%
NHS #5: 21.99%; 19.67%
NHS #6: 15.97%; 17.41%
SUMMARY: IMO, just as advertised. Can get “tall”, and with the complexed genetics, a great chance for variety, and finding a desired pheno if desired.
SKUNKLE LENNY RATING: This is NHS-National Health Service 4.8 OUT OF 5

And it puts NHS on the top of my short list 
I funked her up. 
. Luckily, early stages, so I 
the shit out of her. Upper half seems to be struggling, or the branches haven’t developed strong enough to hold her buds up proudly. Nothing to see here…

we’ll 
Friday morning, so officially will be 79 flowering.
every time I take pictures it makes me want to paint the walls and clean the floor, but it is the laundry room with the Bilco doors going outside for the dogs so I guess I show you can still grow some decent weed, despite not having the most clean environment. Like I always say, it’s just a weed.
