# IN THE RUN: 10 soaked, 9 germinated, and luckily got 6 females.
GROW MEDIUM: Organic recycled soil. Coast of Maine Stonington blend, Raised bed mix, Lobster compost, worm castings, fish bonemeal and molasses water, if needed.
SOAK/SEEDLING/VEG TIME: 90 days.
FLOWERING TIME: 63-85 days.
LIGHTING: 673w Pro Grow 1800 Grow Light Science.
POT SIZE: 32 oz cups to 1.5g pot to 10-gallon fabric pots, but approximately 7g soil.
CHARACTERISTICS: Beautiful structure shown throughout life. Topped 5 of the 6 since I did an extended 90 day soak/germ/veg. As you can see, they branched beautifully.

This run was very consistent. 5 of the 6 are Afghan Skunk dominant in growth, bud appearance, smoke and effects. However, while the fruity and berry AROMAS are distant, they are found in the aftertaste like a fine wine. Spaced branches and tight nugs. Sweet smelling, nice size nugs with excellent lead Cola’s. GLAD I TOPPED 5 OF 6 AS THESE ARE PLENTY BIG. 1 LEAD COLA WOULD HAVE BEEN TOO BIG(I never cure them as well). Very nice leaf coloring, especially with age. 1st to finish was at 9w, longest, and Haze dominant, went 12w. Bud squeeze test=Floral, firm but moist, fluffiest with the final Haze dominate pheno.
This is the 1st usage of my newest toy, the Cannatrol Cool Cure machine. I wanted to compare, so I did my usual hang with all leaves(8 days), trim up, Mason jars w/humidity readers, Bovada packs and burp them down to 62 RH(7 days). Burp 1x/week until 30 days post harvest and then sample. Plenty of time spent and room for error with controlling temp and humidity when burping.
Vs. Cannatrol Cool Cure:
Hang plant(s) 24 hrs, trim of fan leaves, cut branches, rough trim/buck and hang on branches clothes line style for 12 hrs, then cut up buds and put onto the trays, close the door and hit START and pretty much done for 8 days.
Cannatrol buds are firmer, while still moist; Hand dried is more aromatic when jar opened, but Cannatrol buds are more aromatic when broken up and more so when smoked. Big aftertaste.
I’m impressed with Cannatrol. FAR easier and barely any room for error. Buds are universally that firm yet moist cure that breaks up best in a grinder.
5 of the 6 plants are all Afghan Skunk, while the 6th that went 12w is classic Haze. No fruits or berries in that funk.
Buds break up nicely, leaving beautifully stanky fingers I love to constantly smell…Glass bong, nice slow burn with an extremely clean hit. REALLY smooth with an initial light, floral taste with it developing more complexed in an after taste. Nice head high. Let’s go for another
Threw that bud back in and pulled another. continuing smelling… This one hits harder in both the chest, though light, as well as my head… I’d say 2 are good, for now.
YIELD: I break my down into Top Shelf, Mid Shelf & Edible Popcorn
.
Since there’s 6 plants I’ll just summarize:
AVERAGES: 55g of Top Shelf with the lead colas 5-8g; Mid Shelf=26g + 20g for edibles. Nice yields, though expected for such a long run.
TIDBITS: If running long, or outdoors, I recommend topping. Keeps buds ideal/practical size.
MyDx TESTING: I know that this isn’t scientific testing, but for home use I’m satisfied:
1st tested 19.65% THC;
2nd tested 23.22% THC.
3rd tested 21.88% THC
SUMMARY: Long soak/germ/veg(90 days), followed by 9-12w to flower under 12/12 in 7g of soil in a 10g cloth pot under good lighting yielded a very nice consistent mostly Afghan Skunk good yield of strong buds.
SKUNKLE LENNY RATING: This is ASH
