Skuncle needs some NHS

I’ve never had that problem. 🤞
In 3 days I’ll gently unwind, coat with kief and scissor juice, maybe squeeze some oil via hair flattener(but I yield so little)and wrap with those grape color leaves, repeat x2 and rewind with the hemp wick again for a longer cure.

I find MyDx to be uniformly consistent, in that the THC #’s are relatively consistent within a pheno and varied between phenos, as seen in these NHS numerous tests.
But I wouldn’t trust it for breeding purposes. This technology is focused solely on THC and advises that their cannabinoid profiles are not as “scientific”. It’s the closest/most “reliable” technology, outside lab testing of course. I’m VERY interested in lab testing, but not @$100/test, despite the extensive profile.

yup, 100$/test is over the top, in Europe we're closer to 150$/pop... But the results are 100% accurate. Feel like it will take quite some time before something comes onto the market at a reasonable price, which has the accuracy of labtesting...

I haven’t made Thai stick in years, and like the way this one turned out so much that tomorrow I’m getting more hemp wick and making a few more. A nice long cure of Thai stick yields amazing results.

Following along brother...
 
🤙 So just about wrapping up this run.
DIY Thai stick is curing well.
IMG_9698.jpeg
Picked some fresh leaves with the biggest fingers. Mixed a 1:1 sugar water for adhesion of leaves.
IMG_9699.jpeg
Peeled off the hemp wick to see the 1st layer didn’t adhere so good. Ideally, I want three layers of rolled leaves.
IMG_9700.jpeg
Well, I couldn’t get the leaves to adhere well enough to add the two more layers I need, so instead, I decided to use 1 1/2 sized rolling papers, sticking one to another or enough size to roll the stick, did that three times to cover/roll the whole stick, and then wrapped again with Hempwick and will put into dark cool storage until I give one to my sister for her birthday in late February. Lucky sis 😊

This is ‘finally’ the last NHS clone. A cute 3 footer. I love how all of the clones grew to mean colas, one of the benefits of cloning.
IMG_9705.jpeg
Cute little buds, covered in resin, and Teddy’s Great Pyrenees hair as usual.

I was finally patient is letting this last girl go amber.
IMG_9678.jpeg
This was a FANTASTIC run and surprised me. My friends and I will have plenty of NHS for 2024.
I no longer weigh my NHS inventory in ounces…😏

NHS Smoke Report/Final Summary.
This report took some time and effort, but worth every toke :cool:. 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.

View attachment 78605View attachment 78606NHS #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. 😊

View attachment 78607View attachment 78608NHS #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 …
View attachment 78609NHS #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.

View attachment 78610NHS #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.

View attachment 78611NHS #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.

View attachment 78612NHS #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

I know I'm late to the party but man that might be the best and most detailed grow report I've ever read even going back to old Overgrow and Cannabis World days. That was just amazing and I for one really appreciate the work you did to give us this incredible report. I'm your southern NE neighbor down in RI so great to see you repping for us New Englanders. Thanks again for this especially since I got a pack coming too it gives me some reference on what I might expect.

Great job, Skuncle Lenny! Love those cannigars! Reminds of the time I made something similar from Columbian flower & fan leaves. They were made from 100% Columbian material.

I collected the best fan leaves and placed them neatly between the pages of a large book, to keep them flat as they semi-dried. When it came time to roll, I dipped them in a fine cherry liqueur.

Instead of skewer sticks, I cut the straightest sections from some of the smaller, thinner branches; and with fiber-string harvested from the stalk & branches, wrapped the smaller buds around the dried branches.

Then I wrapped the cherry liqueur dipped leaves around them and tied them up with the same stalk fibers. It worked great. When they were dry enough to smoke, I removed all the fiber strings, pulled out the center sticks, and snipped the ends.

A cool experience firing those up at a party. Not sure if I'd craft them the same way today, but the craft is certainly worth perfecting, imo.

Cheers! - FF

Hello Gregor, okay, I'm going to make my own thread but only because you've convinced me 😉 hahaha I thought it was okay to upload some photo outside the thread but no problem. This afternoon when the lights come on I will upload the photo of how they are 11 days since germination. Greetings, see you in my thread hahaha ❤️

Awesome man, thanks! I hope you know I didn't mean anything bad just interested in seeing your grow progress. I know there's not much to see in baby plants but I was thinking more the future when they get a little bigger we can see the pics in your own thread. I just germed a few myself so I'll a put up a thread too so we can compare in the months to come. I think yours are a week ahead of mine though.
 
Lovely jubbly mate 👌
I did buy a pack of these because I thought it might be really similar to Super Silver Haze, but in the pics where it's outgrowing the light it reminds me of an NL5 x Haze I had many years ago. Was it anything like Super Silver Haze?
 
SSH is on my Get & To Do list, so can’t compare.
I was surprisingly impressed by the strain and it remains my sister‘s favorite.

I have just given a friend of mine 6 Super Silver seedlings so hopefully I can get some experience of it soon 👍
All of the strains look excellent mate, and you can get a bit lost in them to be honest. I started off by buying a pack of retail Super Silver, then found the auction site and went a bit silly and bought Medicine Man, Ortega, Nordle, Black Widow, Dreamtime, G13 x Afghan Skunk, Shark Shock, NHS, and NL5 x Afghan, looking for some top drawer pain and sleep meds.
I can't wait to get sampling to be honest 😆✌️👍
